    Abstract Background: Mpox re-emerged worldwide with the multi-country outbreaks that occurred in May 2022, threatening the public health of human beings.
    Methods: This rapid systematic review summarized mpox reinfection cases documented. Electronic databases (PubMed, MedRxiv, and Social Science Research Network) were searched without time limitation, using the keywords "mpox," "monkeypox," & "reinfection," "reoccur," "reoccurrence," "episode," and "relapse". All laboratory-confirmed cases of mpox reinfection published in the literature were included in this study.
    Results: A total of seven publications (nine cases) from Africa, Europe, and South America were included. All mpox reinfection cases were male, with a median age of 36; 88.89% of cases had unprotected sexual behaviors with other males before each illness episode. The average onset interval between the two episodes was about 4 months. Perianal lesions and lymphadenopathy were major symptoms in both episodes, and no differences in clinical severity were reported between the two episodes. The mean duration of the two episodes was approximately 22 days and 13 days, respectively; which the mean duration of the second episode was shorter than the first infection (
    Conclusion: A second infection is possible even in a short period. Reinforcing monitoring, reducing high-risk behaviors, and heightening health education regarding mpox for high-risk populations are crucial to limit mpox spread, including persons with a history of mpox infection.

    Abstract Voices can convey content, emotion, and essential information about an individual's gender and social information. Closely related to gender identification and sexual attraction, voices also positively affect many psychological factors of individuals. Surgeries have evolved from treating congenital diseases to fulfilling an individual's aesthetic needs for voice. Voice shaping is emerging as the next cosmetic surgery hotspot after skincare and appearance and body shaping. This paper summarizes the development of voice pitch shaping and genderization procedures out of the cosmetic need.

    Abstract Background: To review the treatment and the causes of postoperative epidural hematoma (PEDH) after intracranial tumor resection.
    Method: A retrospective case study was conducted to examine a series of patients who developed PEDH as a complication following intracranial tumor resection between January 2016 and June 2021. The study collected data from hospital charts, including clinical status at admission, imaging results, histopathologic findings, surgical management, complications, and outcomes. Causes of PEDH were evaluated through a review of operative notes and discussions with the surgical team.
    Results: Twenty-five patients (10 males, 15 females; median age 42 years, range 11-61 years; median medical history 27 months, range 1-96 months) were enrolled in the study. Regarding tumor location, 16 cases exhibited supratentorial brain tumors, 4 cases had infratentorial brain tumors, 2 cases of tumors occurred in the petroclival region, 2 cases in the peritorcular region, and 1 case in the pineal region. Four of these cases were complicated with supratentorial hydrocephalus. The 25 cases in this study were classified into four types based on location. Type 1 refers to EDHs that occur at the adjacent site of the operative field without involvement of the surgical area. Type 2 includes hematomas that occur at the adjacent site of the surgical area and the surgical area. Type 3 includes EDHs that occur in distant areas, and type 4 involves EDHs in the surgical field. The numbers of cases of types 1, 2, 3, and 4 PEDHs were 16, 2, 3, and 4 cases, respectively. Most PEDHs were associated with reduced ICP after craniotomy due to intracranial tumor resection and substantial loss of CSF. All patients achieved satisfactory outcomes after hematoma evacuation.
    Conclusion: The decrease in ICP resulting from intracranial tumor resection and CSF loss might lead to PEDHs. By employing optimized surgical techniques and meticulous patient management to prevent rapid decreases in ICP and dural detachment, we can potentially lower the incidence of PEDHs. Additionally, prompt evacuation of hematomas can contribute to positive outcomes.

    Abstract Subfootprint variability (SFV), or representativeness error, is variability within the footprint of a satellite that can impact validation by comparison of in situ and remote sensing data. This study seeks to determine the size of the sea surface salinity (SSS) SFV as a function of footprint size in two regions that were heavily sampled with in situ data. The Salinity Processes in the Upper-ocean Regional Studies-1 (SPURS-1) experiment was conducted in the subtropical North Atlantic in the period 2012–2013, whereas the SPURS-2 study was conducted in the tropical eastern North Pacific in the period 2016–2017. SSS SFV was also computed using a high-resolution regional model based on the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS). We computed SFV at footprint sizes ranging from 20 to 100 km for both regions. SFV is strongly seasonal, but for different reasons in the two regions. In the SPURS-1 region, the meso- and submesoscale variability seemed to control the size of the SFV. In the SPURS-2 region, the SFV is much larger than SPURS-1 and controlled by patchy rainfall.

    Abstract Urolithiasis was a global disease and it was more common in southern China. This study looked into the association between daily temperature and urolithiasis hospital admissions in Ganzhou, a large prefecture-level city in southern China. In Ganzhou City from 2016 to 2019, a total of 60,881 hospitalized cases for urolithiasis from 69 hospitals and meteorological data were gathered. The effect of high ambient temperature on urolithiasis hospital admissions was estimated using a distributed lag nonlinear model. Stratified analysis was done to examine sex differences. The study found that in Ganzhou of China, the exposure–response curves approximated a “J” shape which across genders were basically similar. The maximum lag effect occurred on the second day after high temperatures for males but on the third day for females. Compared to the 10 °C reference temperature and considering the cumulative lag effect of 10 days, the relative risks of the daily mean temperature at the 95th percentile on the total, male, and female hospital admissions for urolithiasis were 2.026 (95% CI: 1.628, 2.521), 2.041 (95% CI: 1.603, 2.598), and 2.030 (95% CI: 1.552, 2.655), respectively, but the relative risks between sex were not statistically significant (p = 0.977). Urolithiasis morbidity risk in China could be exacerbated by high temperatures. The effect of high temperature on urolithiasis was similar across genders.

    Abstract Background: Ambient temperature change is a risk factor for urolithiasis that cannot be ignored. The association between temperature and urolithiasis varies from region to region. Our study aimed to analyze the impact of extremely high and low temperatures on the number of inpatients for urolithiasis and their lag effect in Ganzhou City, China.
    Methods: We collected the daily number of inpatients with urolithiasis in Ganzhou from 2018 to 2019 and the meteorological data for the same period. The exposure-response relationship between the daily mean temperature and the number of inpatients with urolithiasis was studied by the distributed lag non-linear model (DLNM). The effect of extreme temperatures was also analyzed. A stratification analysis was performed for different gender and age groups.
    Results: There were 38,184 hospitalizations for urolithiasis from 2018 to 2019 in Ganzhou. The exposure-response curve between the daily mean temperature and the number of inpatients with urolithiasis in Ganzhou was non-linear and had an observed lag effect. The warm effects (30.4°C) were presented at lag 2 and lag 5-lag 9 days, and the cold effects (2.9°C) were presented at lag 8 and lag 3-lag 4 days. The maximum cumulative warm effects were at lag 0-10 days (cumulative relative risk, CRR = 2.379, 95% CI: 1.771, 3.196), and the maximum cumulative cold effects were at lag 0-5 (CRR = 1.182, 95% CI: 1.054, 1.326). Men and people between the ages of 21 and 40 were more susceptible to the extreme temperatures that cause urolithiasis.
    Conclusion: Extreme temperature was correlated with a high risk of urolithiasis hospitalizations, and the warm effects had a longer duration than the cold effects. Preventing urolithiasis and protecting vulnerable people is critical in extreme temperature environments.

    Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a crucial role in gene regulation and the development of keloid. This research aimed to identify and verify miRNAs associated with keloids by microarray analysis and in vitro experiments, shedding light on seeking for potential therapeutic molecular targets. In this study, the weighted gene co-expression network analysis was performed based on the GSE113620. The key miRNA module most relevant to the keloid was further screened to identify hub miRNAs, and then hub miRNAs was verified by the microarray analysis and qRT-PCR experiments. Additionally, targeted genes of hub miRNAs were predicted and verified. Gene ontology (GO) analysis and KEGG enrichment analysis were also conducted. Five miRNA modules were divided, and the blue module exhibited the highest correlation with keloids. Then, hsa-miR-127-3p, hsa-miR-214-3p, hsa-miR-155-5p, hsa-miR-409-5p, and hsa-miR-542-5p were identified as the hub miRNAs. Subsequently, the microarray analysis and qRT-PCR results demonstrated that the expression of five miRNAs were upregulated in keloid tissues. The GO analysis revealed that the target genes of these miRNAs were mainly enriched in biological processes including gene transcription, protein phosphorylation and the MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) cascade, and the KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway were significantly enriched. In conclusion, these five miRNAs (hsa-miR-127-3p, hsa-miR-155-5p, hsa-miR-214-3p, hsa-miR-409-5p, and hsa-miR-542-5p) play vital roles in the pathogenesis of keloid and might be potential therapeutic targets. These miRNAs might regulate genes enriched in gene transcription, protein phosphorylation, the MAPK cascade, and the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.

    Abstract Background: Vulvar migration is a rare complication of filler injection for breast augmentation, generally presenting as repeated pain and fever. We will report a case of woman with polyacrylamide hydrogel breast injection develops vulvar abscess.
    Case presentation: A woman with a history of polyacrylamide hydrogel breast injection was noted to have vulvar abscess due to migration of filler materials. Filler removal surgery and vacuum sealing drainage was performed for this patient. The patient was discharged from the hospital with no further complications. After a review of pertinent literature, only four previous case reports are found. Local inflammatory response, infection, large volume injections, inframammary fold destruction, hematogenous or lymphatic migrate, trauma, gravity and external pressure could play essential parts in the migration of injected filler.
    Conclusion: Polyacrylamide hydrogel migration poses a worldwide challenge, necessitating personalized solutions. Our case study underscores the importance of comprehensive examinations for individuals with a history of filler breast injection when suspecting vulvar filler migration.

    Abstract Background: Facial anthropometry based on 3-dimensional (3D) imaging technology, or 3D photogrammetry, has gained increasing popularity among surgeons. It outperforms direct measurement and 2-dimensional (2D) photogrammetry because of many advantages. However, a main limitation of 3D photogrammetry is the time-consuming process of manual landmark localization. To address this problem, this study developed a U-NET-based deep learning algorithm to enable automated and accurate anatomical landmark detection on 3D facial models.
    Methods: The main structure of the algorithm stacked 2 U-NETs. In each U-NET block, we used 3×3 convolution kernel and rectified linear unit (ReLU) as activation function. A total of 200 3D images of healthy cases, acromegaly patients, and localized scleroderma patients were captured by Vectra H1 handheld 3D camera and input for algorithm training. The algorithm was tested to detect 20 landmarks on 3D images. Percentage of correct key points (PCK) and normalized mean error (NME) were used to evaluate facial landmark detection accuracy.
    Results: Among healthy cases, the average NME was 1.4 mm. The PCK reached 90% when the threshold was set to the clinically acceptable limit of 2 mm. The average NME was 2.8 and 2.2 mm among acromegaly patients and localized scleroderma patients, respectively.
    Conclusions: This study developed a deep learning algorithm for automated facial landmark detection on 3D images. The algorithm was innovatively validated in 3 different groups of participants. It achieved accurate landmark detection and improved the efficiency of 3D image analysis.
