This study found that neck defect size was more relevant than total body surface area for predicting contracture recurrence after burn injury, suggesting increased attention to defect size in managing such cases.

Technique effectively treats deformities, achieves re-pigmentation, and releases scar contractures.

This study reports a new family with hereditary fibrosing poikiloderma (POIKTMP) and identifies a pancreatic cancer occurrence in a family member, raising questions about FAM111B's role as a potential cancer predisposition gene.

This study developed a validated murine model of hypertrophic scar contraction, demonstrating similarities to human skin and observing graft contraction and tissue characteristics over time.

In this report, a unique female presentation of IFAP syndrome is described, featuring musculoskeletal contractures but no photophobia, highlighting the importance of early detection and multidisciplinary care to improve outcomes and prevent disability.

In this review, the authors summarize classical and recent insights into the biology and treatment of hypertrophic scars and keloids, concluding that while understanding and strategies have advanced, effective prevention and treatments remain unsatisfactory.

This article reviews the use of superficial temporal artery island flaps for facial reconstruction and provides a systematic approach for managing composite facial defects, reporting no major complications in 72 patients.

This report details a case of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa in a 37-year-old male with a recessive mutation in the CLO7A1 gene, affecting type VII collagen.

This case report detailed a successful treatment involving contracture release and expanded neck flap reconstruction for a patient with severe neck contracture and beard alopecia from past thermal burns, highlighting improved skin quality and hair regrowth following follicular unit extraction.

This review discusses the post-burn deformities seen after healing from acute burns and emphasizes the need for integrated, multidisciplinary management to prevent these sequelae; it reports no new clinical results.

Using PDRN injections and RF treatments improved revision nose surgery results without major side effects.

This review synthesizes the latest advances in wound healing and scar management, exploring molecular mechanisms, therapeutic strategies, and providing an evidence-based comparison of topical agents like Dermatix Ultra and Contractubex for scar improvement, aimed at informing clinicians and patients in decision-making.

This case report describes a successful frontal region reconstruction using Cerament for a 50-year-old man, resulting in satisfactory forehead morphology and improved appearance four years post-surgery.

This retrospective study observed that patients with vascular EDS on long-term angiotensin II receptor blockers or beta-blockers experienced fewer vascular events compared to those without cardiac medication under similar lifestyle and emergency care advice.

This study found that grafting an autologous cultured epithelial sheet improved both scarring and skin texture in four patients with acne-associated scar contracture three months post-treatment, suggesting the technique might effectively treat difficult acne scars by metabolizing excess collagen.

This case report describes a rare instance of Olmsted syndrome with hypotrichosis in a 5-year-old boy, noting mild improvement in symptoms following treatment with oral acitretin and other interventions.

In this study, hair shaft miR-29a levels were significantly lower in scleroderma patients than in controls, suggesting that hair microRNAs could serve as independent biomarkers for the disease.

This study introduces a five-modal microscopy technique that allows label-free, in vivo observation and quantitative analysis of various wound healing processes.

This study found that facial rejuvenation with fat grafting around the prejowl sulcus provided better improvement in jowling and had fewer adverse effects compared to mandibular ligament release without fat grafting.

This clinical image report discusses a 50-year-old male with ethanol-related chronic liver disease who, despite showing signs of Dupuytren Disease, was asymptomatic and therefore did not receive treatment.

This study reports that Ca 2+ binding alters the dynamics and surface properties of PKD-like domains in Clostridium histolyticum collagenases, enhancing their stability and potentially aiding in collagen-targeting vehicle development.

The document concludes that rib-sparing techniques in breast reconstruction have limited benefits, sentinel lymph node biopsy is needed for desmoplastic melanoma, certain hair preservation methods improve graft survival, partial turbinectomy effectively reduces nasal obstruction, nipple shields with irrigation may reduce capsular contracture, and thicker malignant melanomas have a higher risk of non-skin cancers.
