The senior author routinely performs primary nasal reconstruction with every cleft lip repair. This addresses the tip asymmetry and simplifies definitive secondary rhinoplasty in adolescence.A retrospective chart review was completed of all unilateral rhinoplasties performed by author. indications for were examined, anatomical features nose at time operation documented, reconstructive techniques used recorded.From 2001 to 2009, 116 patients a previously repaired lip. 44 initial repairs...
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has decreased the number of surgeries performed in North America. purpose this study was to compare elective hand during a corresponding pre-pandemic time period and quantify impact surgical backlog surgery. Methods: Patient health records for individuals who underwent management carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), Dupuytren's disease (DD) or stenosing tenosynovitis (time periods: March 11, 2018 July 1, 2019 [pre-pandemic] 2020 2021 [pandemic]) were retrieved...
Posttraumatic enophthalmos has debilitating functional consequences, resulting in restriction of ocular motility and diplopia. Surgical correction aims to restore the globe position ultimately improve function. This study evaluates outcome posttraumatic repair.Patients included this had diplopia requiring repair. Diplopia was graded from 0 (no diplopia) 4 (constant based on Functional Grading Scale. Limitations eye movements were recorded vertical, horizontal, torsional directions. Data...
This is a protocol to assess feasibility of conducting prospective cohort study comparing local flaps versus skin grafts for surgical excision cancer from the face.Skin most common malignancy worldwide and face one locations occurrence. Surgical popular treatment small lesions face. Defects can be reconstructed using or grafts. There paucity literature evaluating outcomes after surgery patient's perspective valid measurement tools. The purpose this observational study. primary include...
Sir: The media coverage of the tragic earthquake in Haiti has focused on ability general, trauma, and orthopedic surgeons neurosurgeons to address many health issues following a natural disaster.1 Certainly, these specialties play vital role relief effort. Despite active stance American Society Plastic Surgeons facilitating deployment plastic during disasters, there been little, if any, discussion surgeon treating injured Haiti.2 Media per se is not desired end, but rather recognition within...
The authors describe a patient who underwent right pneumonectomy for removal of bronchial carcinoid tumour. Over time she developed recurrent infections, dyspnoea and wheeze despite no evidence tumour recurrence. A marked mediastinal shift caused severe narrowing the left main-stem bronchus as it was draped over vertebral column consistent with diagnosis postpneumonectomy syndrome. Mediastinal reorientation accomplished placement two breast implants. Failure superior implant resulted in...

Introduction: Multiple tools have been developed for facial feature measurements and analysis using recognition machine learning techniques. However, several challenges remain before these will be useful in the clinical context reconstructive aesthetic plastic surgery. Smartphone-based applications utilizing open-access can rapidly developed, deployed, tested use settings. This research compares a smartphone-based algorithm to direct digital measurement performance analysis. Methods: Facekit...
Innovative load management analysis techniques, designed to forecast program reductions, are shown produce half-hour reductions with a high degree of confidence from PGandE's air conditioner cycling on daily basis. The Load Reduction Forecasting System (LRFS), be implemented personal computers' is expected improve the program's operation, planning and future performance.
Phenotypic flexibility (reversible phenotypic change) enables organisms to couple internal, ontogenetic responses with external, environmental cues. also provides the capacity buffer stereotypical developmental processes from unpredictable ecological events. Echinoids exhibit dramatic in response variation exogenous nutrient supplies. The extent which echinoids display this has been explored incompletely and research hitherto conducted predominantly on larval structures morphologies. We...
