Adult skeletal muscle stem cells, or satellite cells (SCs), regenerate functional following transplantation into injured diseased tissue. To gain insight human SC (huSC) biology, we analyzed transcriptome dynamics by RNA sequencing of prospectively isolated quiescent and activated huSCs. This analysis indicated that huSCs differentiate lose proliferative potential when maintained in high-mitogen conditions ex vivo. Further gene expression revealed p38 MAPK acts a transcriptional network...
Dog bites have been well described and characterized in the pediatric population. Comparatively, dog-bite injuries adults settings which surgeons become involved are less studied. An electronic hospital database identified all patients 18 years or older who were treated for dog from 2010 to 2014. Demographics, injury information, intervention type, payer source collected. Socioeconomic analysis was performed using Geographic Information Systems mapping. A total of 189 presented emergency...
Anterior chest wall giant basal cell carcinoma (GBCC) is a rare skin malignancy that requires multidisciplinary treatment approach. This case report demonstrates the challenges of anterior GBCC reconstruction for purpose palliative therapy in 72-year-old female. Surgical resection lesion included manubrium and upper four ribs. The defect was closed with bilateral pectoral advancement flaps, FlexHD, pedicled VRAM. nature this made hybrid more appropriate than rigid sternal reconstruction. In...
Hand and digit replantations can be complicated by vascular insufficiency necessitating revision of the original replantation.

Background: At the declaration of global pandemic on March 11, 2020, many hospitals and institutions developed a tiered framework for stratification prioritization elective surgery. Cleft lip palate repair was classified as low acuity, nasoalveolar molding (NAM) clinics were closed. Anticipating consequences delayed cleft care additional burden this would cause families, we reassessed our risk-stratification perioperative algorithms. We hypothesized could safely optimize nasolabial without...
