Background Nipple areola complex (NAC) reconstruction is the final stage in breast for many women. Although general population preferences on NAC aesthetics and sensation have been studied, it unclear if these align with of women who undergone mastectomy. Therefore, this study aimed to assess aesthetic sensory mastectomy inform subsequent neurotization. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional, Facebook-based, crowdsourcing campaign distribute survey (e.g., position, size, pigmentation)...
Introduction To date, upper extremity transplantation (UET) is the most frequently performed vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA). Perceptions regarding donation among Americans, particularly in veterans and service members (VSMs), are largely unknown. Materials methods We administered a one-time survey to United States (US)-resident Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) workers aged ≥18 years. Descriptive statistics were used summarize study data; frequencies percentages calculated for...
This paper describes a cloud-based heart rate (HR) and variability (HRV) monitor, which can monitor an individual's using minimal resources at the user's end. HR HRV does not involve any contact sensors or costly medical equipment, it require high-definition camera to video record face. monitoring system simply requires webcam of personal computer mobile device such as cell phone tablet in order face user. The utilizes while recording encoding segments before transferring them server. All...
Introduction: Cultivating plastic surgery trainees is a multifaceted endeavor, with mentorship repeatedly emerging as pivotal to trainees' growth surgeons and leaders. While many articles discuss benefits, insights on current interventions, outcomes, high-quality mentoring specific surgical remain sparse. This systematic review assessed resident-specific in identify effective practices areas of strengths weaknesses. Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, Scopus, & Web Science 2/26/2023 for...
Abstract Introduction Laser therapy can improve skin texture, range of motion, and cosmesis for patients with burn scars. Nevertheless, insurance coverage laser is highly variable, leaving providers unforeseen costs from denied claims. To determine optimal practices patient documentation claim reimbursement therapy, we aimed to comprehensively review the policy landscape this modality Methods We identified largest health insurers by enrollment market share using data National Association...
Introduction As of 2008, the United States had 41,000 people living with upper extremity amputation. This number is projected to reach 300,000 by 2050. Human transplantation (HUET) may become a more common treatment option potential significantly improve quality life for certain amputees. Awareness and opinions regarding HUET among Americans, particularly in Veterans/Service Members (VSM) affiliates, are largely unknown. Materials methods We administered survey on Amazon Mechanical Turk...
Objective This study evaluates the geospatial distribution of cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) care in United States, assesses disparities between families with and without one-hour proximity to CL/P care, recommends interventions for improving access. Design We identified American Cleft Palate Craniofacial Association-approved teams calculated a driving radius around each clinic. then used census data compare risk factors developing (i.e., incidence factors) obstacles access counties...
Fractional laser therapy improves skin texture, range of motion, and quality life for patients with traumatic scars. Nevertheless, anecdotal evidence suggests declining insurance coverage therapy. We aimed to characterize the landscape fractional present our six-year reimbursement trends. cross-sectionally analyzed 60 largest American health insurers by enrollee size market share. For each, we identified their policy scar revision extracted documentation, prior, continuing authorization...
Purpose: To date, upper extremity transplantation (UET) is the most frequently performed type of Vascularized Composite Allotransplantation (VCA). UET can closely restore form, function, and sensation in amputees. With 300,000 projected amputees living United States by 2050, may become more common. Few studies have assessed general US population's attitudes beliefs towards VCA donation. We this study to characterize donation surveying Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) workers who identified as...
The elderly population experiences great variability in health, disability, age-related changes, polymorbidity, and associated polypharmacy. Polypharmacy refers to the simultaneous use of multiple drugs treat a single condition. often leads high healthcare costs, unpropitious events, confusion, errors management individual's health. remote monitoring approach medicine, especially for populations rural regions, with limited access care, has significantly increased. Continuous appropriate...
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...
Abstract Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on school closures, workforce/employment status, and the enactment of stay-at-home orders may have resulted in changes incidence, mechanisms, time to presentation for treatment burn injuries. Given need prompt injuries prevent worsening injury, infection, and/or critical illness, potential delays during pandemic poorer patient outcomes. We hypothesize that patients demonstrated presentation, injury increased mortality intra-pandemic...
Low risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a marrow failure state eventually leading to transfusion dependence. Flow cytometry has previously been demonstrated as prognostic tool in MDS, however not thoroughly studied lower MDS. In this study, we assessed whether assessment for immunophenotypic blast aberrancies by flow low MDS patients role these patients.A total of 63 consecutive diagnosed with low/intermediate were included. We recorded initial results, and collected time dependence, AML...
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...
INTRODUCTION: Breast Implant Illness is an evolving syndrome that has been gaining traction from the public and medical community. Patients are experiencing negative emotions towards BII dissatisfied with quality of patient education, as expressed in comments submitted response to 24OCT2019 FDA draft guidance on breast implant labeling recommendations. To better gauge experience, this study aims further examine these for frequently encountered concerns themes. METHODS: The under...
