A large majority of U.S. residency program directors do not agree with changing scoring on the USMLE Step 1 exam to pass/fail, and they believe that scores 2 Clinical Knowledge will carry greater weight once new system is implemented.
Following CNS injury, microglial phagocytosis of damaged endogenous tissue is thought to play an important role in recovery and regeneration. Previous work has focused on delineating mechanisms clearance neurons myelin. Little, however, known the underlying axon debris. We have developed a novel microfluidic platform that enables coculture microglia with bundles axons investigate axons. Using this platform, we find degeneration results induction type-1 interferon genes within microglia....
Enhanced recovery pathway programs have demonstrated improved perioperative care and shorter length of hospital stay in several surgical disciplines. The purpose this study was to compare outcomes patients undergoing autologous tissue-based breast reconstruction before after the implementation an enhanced program.
Rhinoplasty remains one of the most common aesthetic procedures performed in United States. Current literature on rhinoplasty complications is inconclusive and based retrospective reviews small cohorts.The purpose this study was to examine incidence identify predictive risk factors for major following alone or combination with other operations a large, prospective, multicenter database study.A prospective cohort patients undergoing between May 2008 2013 identified from CosmetAssure database....
Microglia are rapidly activated in the central nervous system (CNS) response to a variety of injuries, including inflammation, trauma, and stroke. In addition modulation innate immune response, key function microglia is phagocytosis dying cells cellular debris, which can facilitate recovery. Despite emerging evidence that axonal debris pose barrier regeneration new axons CNS, little known molecular mechanisms underlie clearance degenerating CNS axons. We utilize custom micropatterned...
Postoperative hematomas are one of the most frequent complications following aesthetic surgery. Identifying risk factors for hematoma has been limited by underpowered studies from single institution experiences.To examine incidence and identify independent postoperative cosmetic surgery utilizing a prospective, multicenter database.A prospectively enrolled cohort patients who underwent between 2008 2013 was identified CosmetAssure database. Primary outcome occurrence major requiring...
As early as 2022, United States Medical Licensing Examination Step 1 results will be reported pass or fail, rather than 3-digit numeric scores. This survey examines the perspectives of plastic surgery applicants and program directors (PD) regarding this score reporting change.A 24-item was distributed to integrated from 2018-19 2019-20 application cycles. An analogous 28-item sent independent training directors. Data were analyzed using summary tables marginal homogeneity tests.164 (33.2%)...
Summary: Regenerative peripheral nerve interface (RPNI) surgery has been demonstrated to be an effective tool as for neuroprosthetics. Additionally, it shown a reproducible and reliable strategy the active treatment prevention of neuromas. The purpose this article is provide comprehensive review RPNI demonstrate its simplicity empower reconstructive surgeons add their armamentarium. This discusses basic science neuroma formation prevention, well theory RPNI. An anatomic discussion surgical...
SUMMARY: Several strategies have been proposed to prevent hematomas and improve cervical contour in facelifts. One such strategy is the use of selective neck sutures. This manuscript presents three surgical techniques place sutures facelift surgeries as an adjunct intraoperative hemostasis aid contour. By promoting tissue adherence, these closing dead space, minimize serous collection, prompting early drain removal. The addition previously published are effective means risk facelifts improving
Background: Selective neurectomy (SN) typically leaves cut nerve endings to be either free-floating or buried in facial muscles. Regenerative peripheral interfaces (RPNIs) use autologous skeletal muscle grafts provide a nonfacial target for reinnervation. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of RPNI surgery with SN improving postoperative function through botulinum toxin and movement metrics. Methods: This was retrospective cohort study comparing patients synkinesis undergoing without...
Abstract Individuals with severe neurological injuries often rely on assistive technologies, but current methods have limitations in accurately decoding multi-degree-of-freedom (DoF) movements. Intracortical brain-machine interfaces (iBMIs) use neural signals to provide a more natural control method, currently struggle higher-DoF movements—something the brain handles effortlessly. It has been theorized that simplifies high-DoF movement through muscle synergies, which link multiple muscles...
Background: Breast cancer is a leading cause of mortality among women in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). As such, optimizing outcomes for treatment and reconstruction global health priority. Currently, normative data interpreting BREAST-Q results are limited to high-income countries. This study seeks evaluate baseline breast-related quality life SSA without breast compare it with previously published values. Methods: Women Ghana, Nigeria, Ethiopia 18 years age older no history or surgery were...
The numerous office visits required to complete expansion in implant-based breast reconstruction impact patient satisfaction, resources, and time reconstruction. This study aimed determine whether prepectoral compared subpectoral immediate offers expedited tissue without affecting complication rates.Consecutive patients who underwent with expanders from January of 2016 July 2017 by a single surgeon were grouped into (partial submuscular/partial acellular dermal matrix) or (complete matrix...
Hematomas represent one of the most common postoperative complications in patients undergoing aesthetic surgery. Depending on type procedure performed, hematoma incidence and presentation can vary greatly. Understanding risk factors for formation preoperative considerations to mitigate is critical provide optimal care patient. Various perioperative prevention measures may also be employed minimize incidence. The surgeon's ability adequately diagnose treat hematomas after surgery not only...
The synergistic effects of VL and long wavelength UVA1 (VL + UVA1, 370-700 nm) on inducing pigmentation erythema in skin have been demonstrated linked to exacerbation dermatologic conditions including melasma post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This study aimed compare the photoprotection organic sunscreens enriched with antioxidant (AO) combinations against induced biologic effects. efficacy was compared that offered by a commercially available tinted sunscreen.Ten healthy adult subjects...
