Building a Synthetic Cell Together.

Synthetic cells (SynCells) are artificial constructs designed to mimic cellular functions, offering insights into fundamental biology, as well as promising impact in the fields of medicine, biotechnology, and bioengineering. Achieving a functional SynCell from the bottom up, i.e.

Recurrently Infected Rheumatoid Nodule Causing Posterior Interosseous Nerve Palsy: A Report of a Rare Case.

Rheumatoid nodules are typically benign and asymptomatic, requiring no specific treatment. However, we encountered a diagnostically challenging case involving a painful elbow mass that rapidly enlarged. The lesion eventually caused posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) palsy.

Predicting refractoriness in lateral epicondylitis using initial grip strength and quickdash: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Lateral epicondylitis is a self-limited disease and refractory condition; thus providing optimal treatment is challenging. This study investigated a method for predicting cases that would not improve sufficiently under a wait-and-see policy using clinical indicators obtained during the initial consultation.

Methods: Twenty-two patients with lateral epicondylitis prescribed a resting orthosis and followed up for 6 months were included.

Fulminant simultaneous multiple dissections of the cervical and vertebral arteries leading to hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke: A case report.

Background: Intra-and extracranial artery dissections are uncommon but significant causes of ischemic stroke and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). While individual dissections are well-documented, simultaneous dissections of multiple vessels leading to both hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes are extremely rare.

Case Description: A 41-year-old man presented with acute onset of headache, vomiting, and loss of consciousness.
