    Abstract Reconstruction of traumatic nail bed defects in the digits is a frequently encountered procedure, yet often presents many challenges. In such scenarios, staged procedures may be required with significant limitations in shape and increased donor site morbidity, particularly when multiple defects are present. In this study, we introduce a simple method for the reconstruction of nail bed defects using an acellular dermal matrix (ADM). The study involved 19 digits with nail defects, which underwent reconstruction using an ADM graft. The surgical procedure was performed on all patients on the day of injury, after which they were promptly discharged. The dimensions of the defect ranged from 0.5 × 0.5 cm to a maximum of 2 × 3 cm (average, 0.9 × 1.4 cm). Final examinations were performed at postoperative 5-11 months (average, 6.6 months). All ADM grafts were successfully taken. Nail growth was observed at an average of 4 months after surgery in the treated finger. The surgical results were retrospectively evaluated using the Zook criteria. Outcomes were "excellent" in 11 patients (57.9%), "very good" in five patients (26.3%), "good" in two patients (10.5%), and "fair" in one patient (5.2%). The expanded application of ADM explored in this study illustrates a straightforward method for the reconstruction of traumatic nail bed defects, providing effective results in a single stage without incurring donor site morbidity.

    Abstract Background: Traditional skin grafts for syndactyly often cause color mismatches and unsightly donor sites, whereas no-skin-graft methods leave noticeable dorsal hand scars. This study presents plantar full-thickness skin graft (FTSG) from the weight-bearing midline area for syndactyly repair, a novel approach not previously reported in the literature.
    Methods: The study included three groups of patients with congenital syndactyly of the hand who underwent primary operations with plantar FTSG (n=70), groin FTSG (n=20), and no-skin-graft techniques (n=22). Postoperative outcomes were evaluated by an assessment panel, and guardians' satisfaction scores were measured. Color similarity between the graft and surrounding skin was assessed using a three-dimensional color space.
    Results: The plantar FTSG group demonstrated a significantly higher likelihood of receiving an 'excellent' rating compared to the groin FTSG group, with an odds ratio of 6.30 (p<0.001). Color difference analysis showed that plantar FTSG more closely matched surrounding skin color than groin FTSG (6.33 vs. 22.57, p<0.001). Guardians reported greater satisfaction with outcomes on the hand in the plantar FTSG group compared to the groin FTSG and no-skin-graft groups (7.16 vs. 5.05 and 4.36, p<0.001). Satisfaction with donor sites was also significantly higher in the plantar FTSG group than in the groin FTSG group (8.23 vs. 6.30, p<0.001).
    Conclusion: Correction of congenital hand syndactyly using midline plantar FTSG from the weight-bearing area can reduce scarring on the hand dorsum, ensure superior color similarity with surrounding skin, and offer inconspicuous donor sites compared to no-skin-graft or groin FTSG techniques.

    Abstract In hand and upper extremity replantation surgery, simultaneous free flap reconstruction restores the physiologic circulation to the amputated part, ensuring its survival, and promotes wound healing through anatomic restoration. Especially in digit replantation, an arterialized venous flap serves to reconstruct both vessel and soft tissue defects simultaneously. Delayed free flap reconstruction aims to enhance both functional improvement and cosmetic acceptance in a successfully replanted part using flaps that include functioning muscle, bone, joint, nerve, and soft tissue.

    Abstract Von Neumann architecture-based computing, while widely successful in personal computers and embedded systems, faces inherent challenges including the von Neumann bottleneck, particularly amidst the ongoing surge of data-intensive tasks. Neuromorphic computing, designed to integrate arithmetic, logic, and memory operations, has emerged as a promising solution for improving energy efficiency and performance. This approach requires the construction of an artificial synaptic device that can simultaneously perform signal processing, learning, and memory operations. We present a photo-synaptic device with 32 analog multi-states by exploiting field-effect transistors based on the lateral heterostructures of two-dimensional (2D) WS

    Abstract The aging lung undergoes structural changes, immunosenescence, and inflammation, rendering the elderly more susceptible to developing obstructive airway disease. Thus, asthma in those of chronological age ≥ 65 years is not rare. Elderly asthma (EA) imposes considerable burdens in terms of mortality and morbidity, and expenditure. However, clinicians lack knowledge of EA and thus often prescribe inappropriate management. In this review, we ask 3 key questions frequently encountered during EA diagnosis and treatment: 1) Is EA different?; 2) How can we appropriately diagnose EA?; 3) Are there management strategies specific to EA? Based on recent studies, we provide tentative answers as follows: 1) late-onset EA differs in clinical features and pathogenetic mechanisms from non-EA, and thus further phenotypic and endotypic characterization of EA is needed; 2) both over- and under-diagnosis of asthma in the elderly can be reduced if the objective diagnostic tests are appropriately performed; 3) cautious prescription of ICS to selected EA patients should be encouraged, and a multifaceted approach which involves increasing medical awareness and inhaler use proficiency and adherence, seeking the assistance of caregivers, and correcting micronutrient deficiencies is required to reduce acute exacerbations in EA patients.

    Abstract Osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS) is an acute demyelinating disorder characterized by the loss of myelin in the center of the basis pons, defined as central pontine myelinolysis (CPM), and demyelination in locations outside the pons, defined as extrapontine myelinolysis (EPM). ODS including CPM and EPM is mainly caused by rapid correction of hyponatremia. However, there are several reports of ODS in medical conditions such as malnutrition; alcoholism; liver transplantation; malignancy; sepsis; and electrolyte imbalance including hypernatremia, hypokalemia, hypophosphatemia, and chronic illness. ODS caused by rapid correction of hyperammonemia or continuous hyperbilirubinemia without sodium fluctuations has rarely been reported. Because ODS may be irreversible, prevention is crucial. Herein, we report a case of ODS secondary to rapid correction of hyperammonemia and continuous hyperbilirubinemia.

    Abstract Objective: To identify subsets of patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) after total surgical correction demonstrating the rapid progression of right ventricle (RV) functional measures using cardiac computed tomography (CT) ventricular volumetry.
    Methods: Rapid or slow progression of RV functional measures was determined in 109 patients with TOF who underwent cardiac CT ventricular volumetry more than twice after total surgical correction. Patient age, body surface area, postoperative days, the time interval between the first and last cardiac CT examinations, and CT-based functional measures were evaluated using binary logistic regression to determine the predictors of the rapid progression. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to evaluate diagnostic performance of the potential predictors.
    Results: The rapid progression of indexed RV end-systolic volume (ESV) (≥2.7 mL/m
    Conclusion: Cardiac CT ventricular volumetry can be used to identify patients demonstrating the rapid progression of RV functional measures after total surgical correction of TOF and follow-up imaging protocols can be individually optimized based on initial progression rate.
