The mandibular mesiodens is an anomaly consisting in the occurrence of a supernumerary tooth in the described area. The few described cases of this pathology are summarized in this article. The literature review was conducted using the PubMed and Google Scholar databases, using two sets of keywords each time. Further analysis of the collected articles allowed inclusion of case reports from the last two decades in the review. 18 cases of the occurrence of the medial tooth of the mandible were compared. The possible aetiology of this developmental anomaly could not be determined. The most likely pathogenesis is the hyperactivity of the dental lamina. Among the diagnostic methods, the sumative and three-dimensional imaging methods play an important role. Depending on the case, two various treatment methods are undertaken: surgical, meaning removal of the supernumerary tooth or conservative, consisting in correction of its shape. The prognosis using both methods is good. Mandibular mesiodens is extremely rare, with similar frequency in both genders, and its occurrence often coexists with the agenesis of other mandibular teeth. Both extraction and conservative treatment have a good therapeutic effect.

Two patients with cerebellopontine angle (CPA) lipoma were studied. They were submitted to surgical treatment. Available literature was reviewed and 29 cases with same lesion were identified which had been treated by surgery. Clinical manifestations, possibility of diagnostic methods, surgical indications and treatment strategies are discussed. Attention is called to the peculiarities of CPA lipomas and the doubtful vality of attempting complete excision in all cases.

Background Understanding the three-dimensional anatomy of the talar neck is essential in assessing reduction of talar neck fractures, as well as in planning surgical correction for talar malunions. However, the geometrical parameters that describe this anatomy are sparsely reported in the literature. Objectives This review aims to identify from the existing literature, those geometrical parameters that describe the three-dimensional anatomy of the talar neck. Methods A scoping literature review will be conducted in accordance with the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. The primary searches will be conducted on the PubMed, EMBASE and Scopus databases, using a pre-defined search strategy. Any original research study (whether clinical or cadaveric, prospective or retrospective, comparative or noncomparative), looking at the human talus neck geometry or morphology will be included. Studies that do not describe the talar neck geometry, animal studies, review articles, conference abstracts and case reports will be excluded. Geometrical parameters (including techniques to measure these) that describe the three-dimensional anatomy of the talar neck will be identified. Qualitative analysis will be done by means of appropriate tables and diagrams. If feasible, quantitative analysis to determine pooled estimated of geometrical parameters identified in the review will be conducted by a random-effects meta-analysis model. No formal risk-of-bias assessment has been planned, as this is a scoping literature review.

Reticular erythematous mucinosis (REM) was first described 50 years ago, but only around 100 case reports in English have been published. Its relation with other inflammatory skin disorders is still being debated. We report a case of REM, including the clinical and histopathological findings. Also, a systematic review of 94 English-language reported cases is provided. The described criteria for clinical and histopathological diagnosis are highlighted in order to REM can be confidently diagnosed.

Despite the growing utility and prevalence of social entrepreneurship, an accepted definition remains elusive and infeasible. Yet, it is imperative that the principles guiding social entrepreneurship are identified so that common ground is established to facilitate future research. On the basis of a systematic literature review, this conceptual paper proposes a theoretical framework outlining social entrepreneurship as a three-dimensional framework as a function of continua of “social” and “business” logics, “beneficial” and “detrimental” social change logics, and “innovation” and “mundane” logics. The framework accommodates the fuzziness and ambiguity associated with social entrepreneurship whilst remaining a workable, identifiable construct. By accounting for the shifting logics practiced by social entrepreneurship that both influence and are influenced by the organizational environment, this framework provides an exit strategy for the definitional elusiveness of social entrepreneurship. The resultant structures and functions of social entrepreneurship are shaped by these constraints as reflected by the fluidity and flexibility endorsed by the framework. Four avenues for future research regarding social entrepreneurship are recommended on the basis of the framework proposed in this article.

Abstract Background and Study Aims Primary intraspinal primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) account for ∼0.4% of all intraspinal tumors, but information about these tumors in the medical literature is limited to single case reports. We report four cases of primary intraspinal PNETs and present a systematic literature review of the reported cases. Materials and Methods We retrospectively reviewed and analyzed the clinical data of 4 patients with primary intraspinal PNETs who underwent neurosurgical treatment at our clinic between January 2013 and January 2020, and of 32 cases reported in the literature. Results The female-to-male ratio was 2.6:1. The mean patient age was 21.42 ± 15.76 years (range: 1–60 years), and patients <36 years of age accounted for 83.30% of the study cohort. Progressive limb weakness and numbness were the chief symptoms (accounting for ∼55.6%). The mean complaint duration was 0.89 ± 0.66 months for males and 2.72 ± 3.82 months for females (p = 0.028). Epidural (41.7%) was the most common site, and thoracic (47.3%) was the most frequent location. Most PNETs were peripheral, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appearance was isointense or mildly hypointense on T1-weighted images and hyperintense on T2-weighted images. Homogeneous contrast enhancement was observed. The 1-year survival rate of patients who underwent chemoradiation after total or subtotal lesion resection was better compared with patients who did not undergo chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or total or subtotal resection. The modality of treatment was associated with survival time (p = 0.007). Conclusion Primary intraspinal PNETs mainly occur in young people with a female preponderance. In patients with a rapid loss of lower limb muscle strength and large intraspinal lesions on MRI, PNETs should be considered. Surgical resection and adjuvant radio chemotherapy are key prognostic factors.
