Re-do VATS for recurrent pneumothorax in a Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome patient.

Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (BHDS) is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder caused by mutation in a tumour suppressor gene, FLCN, leading to skin tumours (fibrofolliculomas), renal tumours and pulmonary cysts. Lung involvement is predominantly observed in 70% of the cases of BHDS, manifesting in the form of recurrent primary spontaneous pneumothorax. This video tutorial showcases the surgical management of recurrent right primary spontaneous pneumothorax in a young adult with a history of multiple episodes of bilateral pneumothorax managed by surgical intervention previously.

A multifunctional electrospun nanofiber/hydrogel-based pro-healing bilayer dressing as a next generation biomaterial for skin wound care.

Infectious wounds present a significant challenge in healthcare due to the delay in wound healing and associated processes. Improper use of antibiotics makes this situation even worse due to antibiotic resistance. To meet the critical requirements of healing infectious wounds, we report a bilayer dressing (BL) that combines a hydrogel-based layer and an electrospun nanofiber-based layer together to mimic the dermal and epidermal architecture of normal skin.

Unmasking anti-forensic techniques: A DCNN-driven approach to uncover contrast enhancement and median filtering detection.

A forensic analyst must utilize a variety of artifacts in order to create a potent forensic method. By eliminating these artifacts, anti-forensic approaches seek to elude forensic detectors. The field of digital image forensics has many difficulties due to the growing sophistication of anti-forensic tactics.

Traumatic in-cerebration due to conveyor machine accident - A distinctive injury pattern case report.

Cranio-cerebral trauma due to crush injury is a commonly encountered cause of death in forensic practice. These mostly occur due to static loading of the head and often present as compound comminuted skull fractures with brain parenchyma extruding out of the body. In the present case, the head crushing injury occurred due to machine entrapment while the conveyor system continued to be operational.

Multifunctional bilayer dressings: a next generation biomaterial for enhanced wound healing.

Wound healing poses a considerable challenge in the healthcare sector, especially for chronic and infected wounds, requiring advanced technological alternatives that surpass conventional dressings. Bilayer dressings, which combine hydrogels and electrospun nanofibers together, have recently emerged as a next generation biomaterial that mimics skin to enhance wound healing. Herein, we first describe skin physiology and various steps that are involved in the wound healing process.
