Background As the second cycle impacted by COVID-19, 2022 Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (PRS) Match maintained virtual interviews while offering a modest lift of subinternship restrictions. The residency application process continues to evolve, with changes such as pass/fail United States Medical Licensing Examination Step 1 reporting prompting programs reconsider metrics applicant success. It is critical address impact board scores, mentorship, resource availability on diverse...
Background Patients with nonsyndromic craniosynostosis (NSC) generally undergo corrective surgery before 1 year of age to the mitigate morbidities and risks delayed repair. The cohort patients who receive primary after factors associated their gaps care is poorly characterized in literature. Methods A nested case-control study was conducted for NSC underwent at our institution affiliates between 1992 2022. whose occurred were identified matched 1:1 by surgical date standard-care control...
In 2022, the plastic and reconstructive surgery (PRS) match faced unprecedented system-wide transitions that have redefined conventional measures of applicant success. This challenges equitable assessment student competitiveness diversity in field.A survey demography, application content, 2022 outcomes was distributed to applicants a single PRS residency program. Comparative statistics regression models were performed assess predictive value factors success quality.A total 151 respondents...
Elevated levels of circulating immune complexes are associated with autoimmunity and worse prognoses in cancer. Here, we examined the effects well-defined, soluble (ICs) on human peripheral T cells. We demonstrate that IgG-ICs inhibit proliferation differentiation a subset naïve cells but stimulate division another naïve-like cell subset. Phenotypic analysis by multi-parameter flow cytometry RNA-Seq were used to characterize inhibited stimulated revealing presented immature features...
Burn patients are unique because their recovery requires prolonged hospital admissions, often complicated by a myriad of medical and surgical complications as well psychological emotional challenges. Religion spirituality have been linked to improved health outcomes in other fields. Our scoping review aimed examine the available literature for evidence impact on burns, complex wounds, critical care shed more light relationship between conditions treated multidisciplinary burn center teams....
Background Tissue expansion is a well-established approach to soft tissue reconstruction in the pediatric population for lower extremity pathologies. Unfortunately, complication rates range from 19% 40% literature, including infection and implant extrusion, leading delays reconstruction. These challenges have prompted investigation toward categorizing risk factors expander placement. Methods A retrospective study of patients who underwent placement by senior author (R.J.R.) was performed...
Home oxygen therapy (HOT) burns carry high morbidity and mortality. Many patients are active smokers, which is the most frequent cause of ignition. We conducted a retrospective review at our institution to characterize demographics outcomes in this patient population. An IRB-approved single-institution was for home burn between July 2016 January 2021. Demographic clinical outcome data were compared groups. identified 100 with burns. Mean age 66.6 years male female ratio 1.3:1 median surface...
Abstract Due to COVID-19, hospitals underwent drastic changes operating room policy mitigate the spread of disease. Given these unprecedented measures, we aimed look at in operative volume and metrics burn surgery service our institution. A retrospective review was conducted for cases months March May 2019, 2020, 2021, which correspond with pre-COVID, early COVID (period without elective cases), late resumed cases). Inclusion criteria were related burns. Case types compared amongst three...
Background: Patients are increasingly accessing consumer-style health information from a variety of web-based platforms. This study aims to assess popular audio-visual platform for its quality in orthognathic procedures. Methods: We queried YouTube on August 12th, 2021 20 videos, by both relevance and view count, under each 3 search terms: (1) “orthognathic surgery,” (2) “LeFort I osteotomy,” (3) “sagittal split osteotomy.” Each video was characterized date upload, time since duration, type,...
Abstract Introduction Home oxygen therapy (HOT) is prescribed to patients with pulmonary dysfunction as a means of improving survival and quality life. However, ignition HOT can lead burns that carry significant morbidity mortality. This especially true for who actively smoke while on HOT, prior studies showing 87.3% HOT-related were due smoking. An ethical issue thus arises providers routinely treat this patient population: how balance providing beneficial treatment the responsibility...
PURPOSE: Non-syndromic craniosynostosis (NSC) patients can be treated before 12 months of age to attenuate difficulties associated with delayed care (e.g. more challenging/extensive surgery, greater risk complications). NSC that undergo treatment are not well characterized in the literature. This study aims identify potential contributors for late presenting (>12 at primary surgery) patients. METHODS: A retrospective review who underwent surgery a single institution. Data including ages...
BACKGROUND: Rising reports on Breast Implant Illness (BII) have brought breast implant safety into question. Because BII may be considered controversial, not fully for patients experiencing symptoms, highlighting the necessity of patient advocacy, improved disease investigation, and evaluation. On 24 Oct 2019, FDA posted draft guidance Regulations.gov about labeling recommendations to improve communication, which it invited public comments. This study aimed characterize comments made...
Introduction: Increasing emphasis on reduction of healthcare costs has caused rates outpatient cleft lip and palate-related procedures to rise. This study aims describe patient hospital characteristics associated with repair related surgeries assess differences in these against those undergoing inpatient procedures. Methods: Data was collected from the 2016 2018 National Inpatient Sample (NIS) Nationwide Ambulatory Surgery (NASS) Healthcare Cost Utilization Project (HCUP), Agency for...

Abstract Introduction Due to COVID-19, hospitals have had undergo drastic changes operating room (OR) policy mitigate the spread of disease. Elective surgeries were cancelled, and some ORs repurposed help withstand a surge COVID-19 patients. Given these unprecedented measures, we aim look at in operative volume metrics burn surgery service our institution. Methods An IRB-approved single-institution retrospective review was conducted by querying institutional OR database. We obtained case...
Abstract Introduction Home oxygen therapy (HOT) is frequently prescribed for patients with pulmonary dysfunction, which predisposes them to a unique health hazard at home. Prior studies show that HOT burns carry high morbidity and mortality, in large part due inhalational injury. A significant portion of are active smokers, the most frequent cause ignition. We conducted retrospective review related our institution characterize demographics outcomes this patient population. Methods An...
Background: A diverse workforce in medicine has been shown to improve health equity and patient outcomes. Despite this, minority populations are underrepresented among physicians, particularly surgical specialties such as plastic reconstructive surgery. Current research investigates where along the medical school-to-residency pathway (aka, "the pipeline") students of color lost. This study aims target earlier pipeline, during undergraduate university, determine if how exposed field surgery...
This study investigates the effect of prophylactic perioperative antibiotic use on patients with small burns [≤20% total body surface area (TBSA)] rates infection, graft loss, or readmission.A retrospective chart review was conducted admitted to our institution's burn center between January 2020 and July 2021. Patients were included if they had a 20% less TBSA 1 more operating room visit for excision excluded preoperative infection present. Data gathered regarding patient demographics,...
