Adaptive low-intensity pulsed ultrasound for accelerated fracture healing and chronic tendinopathic disorders: design and controlled clinical evaluation of a portable low-cost system

Although low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) has been widely investigated as a non-invasive regenerative therapy, optimization of stimulation parameters for different tissue conditions and fracture severities remains an active area of research. This study presents the design...

Inflammation-Modified Odontogenic Keratocyst Mimicking an Inflammatory Cyst: A Clinically Silent Case

Abstract Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a developmental odontogenic cyst with distinctive histopathological features and a recognized potential for recurrence. However, secondary inflammation may significantly alter or obscure its classical histopathological features, resulting...

Rare circle of Willis variants associated with multiple intracranial aneurysms and subarachnoid hemorrhage

Rationale: Subarachnoid hemorrhage from a ruptured intracranial aneurysm is a type of stroke with high rates of mortality and disability, and the prevalence of aneurysm formation increases in the presence of Circle of Willis variants. Patient concerns: A 64-year-old man with a hi...

Expanding the clinical spectrum of DNASE1L3-associated monogenic lupus

Rationale: DNASE1L3 deficiency is a rare autosomal-recessive monogenic form of systemic lupus erythematosus, characterized by defective clearance of extracellular DNA, leading to immune-complex formation, autoantibody production, and systemic inflammation. While early-onset lupus...

Transient sinus bradycardia complicating acute severe ulcerative colitis a case report and review of the literature

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with extraintestinal cardiovascular effects. While tachycardia is common during active inflammation, bradycardia is exceptionally rare. We report a case of transient sinus bradycardia occurring during an acute severe ulcerative colit...
