The lip represents an anatomical area of the interface between the skin and oral mucosa. It is, therefore, not entirely surprising that SCC of the lip exhibits mixed features between cutaneous and oral mucosal SCC, namely regarding risk factors and biological behaviour. The main risk factors for lip SCC include ultraviolet radiation exposure, low phototype, tobacco and alcohol use, and immunosu...

The Neglected clubfoot deformity is a major disability for children and adults in low income countries. The bones and joints of the foot deform into fixed equines, adducts, cavus, and supination as the patient walk on the side or dorsum of the foot. The Orthopaedic literature on clubfoot deformity focuses on early intervention in a resource-rich environment, with numerous surgical options outli...

The Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) is generating important and often nonintuitive information about the prevalence, incidence, morbidity, and mortality of the world’s major communicable and noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). An emerging narrative from the GBD is the gradual ascendency of the NCDs, especially among the world’s large lowand middle-income countries (LMICs) [1]. But with regard...

Neurosarcoidosis (NS) is diagnosed when noncaseating granulomas develop in the nervous system, often associated with similar pathology in other organs. While lung and skin manifestation are more common, the neurological manifestations including meningitis, parenchymal brain or spinal cord lesions, or cranial or peripheral nerve damage are among the most serious and difficult to treat manifestat...

Introduction: The phenomenon of neglected foreign bodies is a significant cause of morbidity in soft tissue injuries and may present to dermatologists as delayed wound healing, localized cellulitis and inflammation, abscess formation, or foreign body sensation. Localization and removal of neglected soft tissue foreign bodies (STFBs) is complex due to possible inflammation, indurations, granulat...

Noma is a disease surrounded by riddles. It manifests itself only in the poorest populations in developing countries, enclosed by ignorance and extreme poverty. The worldwide prevalence of noma is unknown— estimates range from 30 00 0 to 140 000 cases. Most cases of noma worldwide occur in the so-called noma belt, which is situated directly south of the Sahara and runs across Africa from Senega...

The neglected clubfoot deformity is a major disabler of children and adults in developing nations. The bones and joints of the foot deform into fixed equinus, adductus, cavus, and supination as patients walk on the side or dorsum of the foot. There is severe obliquity of the calcaneocuboid joint, which must be corrected in most cases. An algorithmic surgical approach, using peritalar soft tissu...
