Dupuytren's disease (DD) is a common, progressive fibroproliferative affecting the palmar fascia of hands, causing fingers to irreversibly flex toward palm with significant loss function. Surgical treatments are limited; therefore, effective new therapies for DD urgently required. To identify key cellular and molecular pathways driving DD, we employed single-cell RNA sequencing, profiling transcriptomes 35,250 human single cells from nonpathogenic fascia, healthy dermis. We DD-specific...

Back pain is a common symptom among patients presenting to the acute medical unit. We describe case of 55-year-old man with brief history fatigue and severe back pain, unresponsive escalating doses opiate analgesia. Blood tests imaging studies were unremarkable functional diagnosis was considered. Several weeks into his admission he developed lower motor neurone facial nerve palsy. He treated antibiotics for an incidental finding hospital-acquired pneumonia on imaging, which remarkably led...
