Lingual microcystic lymphatic malformations (LMLMs) are rare congenital vascular malformations presenting as clusters of cysts filled with lymph fluid or blood. Even small well-limited lesions can be ...
This is a randomized, multicentric study using an individually randomized stepped-wedge design over 24 weeks to evaluate topical application of a 1 mg/mL sirolimus solution once daily, on LMLM, versus...
Given the disappointing state of current treatment options in LMLMs, topical sirolimus could become firstline therapy in treating LMLMs if its efficacy and safety were to be demonstrated....

The AReA study will fill a gap in knowledge about access to stroke rehabilitation in the public health system in different Brazilian regions....
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a locally aggressive tumor with a low rate of metastatic disease. Previous series have shown a superiority of Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) compared with wi...
The purpose of the current study was to examine the outcome of surgical treatment of primary DFSP of the trunk and extremities....
We reviewed 236 patients (115 females, 121 males, mean age 41 ± 15 years) undergoing MMS (n = 81, 34%) or WLE (n = 155, 66%) to treat a primary DFSP. Mean tumor size and follow-up was 4 ± 2 cm and 7 y...
There was no difference (p > 0.05) in patient age, sex, tumor size, negative margin excision, or history of a previous inadvertent excision between patients who underwent WLE and those undergoing MMS....
There was no difference in oncologic outcome comparing MMS with WLE for DFSP outside the head and neck. The goal of treatment for DFSP is to achieve a negative margin, regardless of surgical treatment...
Acute lower limb ischemia (ALI) is a limb- and potentially life-threatening condition which requires urgent evaluation and treatment. Contemporary data on optimal therapy and prognosis of ALI are lack...
The proposed study is a prospective, international, multicenter, observational study on ALI (PROMOTE-ALI) (ClinicalTrials.gov - NCT05138679). Patients with ALI (Rutherford classification grade I -III)...
ALI remains a challenging condition and due to the heterogeneous etiology, clinical presentation and treatment strategies, a large multicenter study on this topic is needed to gain contemporary data o...
As a meaningful subtype of ischemic stroke in Asians, Branch atheromatous disease (BAD)-related stroke is associated with high early neurological deterioration (END) and disability, but is understudie...
BAD-study is a nationwide, multicenter, consecutive, prospective, observational cohort study enrolling patients aged 18-80 years with BAD-related stroke within 72 h after symptom onset. Initial clinic...
BAD-study can provide demographic, clinical, radiological, and prognostic characteristics of BAD-related stroke, and thereby potentially figure out the vascular mechanism of early neurological deterio...
Narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy is commonly prescribed for patients with moderate-to-severe atopic eczema (AE). The efficacy of NB-UVB, however, has not yet properly been established, a...
A pragmatic, multicenter, PROBE trial will be performed with 1:1 randomization of 316 adult patients with moderate-to-severe AE who have inadequate disease control with topical therapy and who are eli...
The UPDATE trial aims to provide high-quality evidence regarding the (cost-)effectiveness and safety of NB-UVB phototherapy in moderate-to-severe AE patients. Challenges that are addressed in the prot...
