Case ReportsIpsilateral Radial Neuropathy after COVID-19 mRNA Vaccination in an Immunocompetent Young Man.
The global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic spurred an urgent need for vaccination and herd immunity. Recently, mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 have been used widely despite reports of several adverse events. Most adverse effects are mild, although a few are associated with neurological complications. ⋯ He experienced unilateral wrist drop, which significantly improved with corticosteroid treatment. Based on knowledge of this adverse effect, careful surveillance and increased awareness are needed for early diagnosis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case in the English literature of radial neuropathy resulting in wrist drop in a recently vaccinated and young immunocompetent patient.

Efficacy of Staged Surgery in the Treatment of Open Tibial Fractures with Severe Soft Tissue Injury and Bone Defect.
We aimed to report the clinical and radiological outcomes of staged surgery using the acute induced membrane technique with an antibiotic-impregnated cement spacer (ACS) and soft-tissue reconstructive surgery and to identify factors affecting clinical outcomes. ⋯ Staged surgery using the acute induced membrane technique and soft-tissue reconstructive surgery is an efficacious treatment for open tibial fractures with bone defects.

Didymin Alleviates Cerebral Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury by Activating the PPAR Signaling Pathway.
Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is a severe secondary injury induced by reperfusion after stroke. Didymin has been reported to have a protective effect on intracerebral hemorrhage. However, the underlying mechanism of didymin on regulating cerebral IR injury remains largely unknown. ⋯ Didymin protected neuron cells against IR injury in vitro and in vivo by activation of the PPAR pathway. Didymin may be a candidate drug for IR treatment.
