The rising demand for autologous breast reconstruction presents challenges patients with primary hypercoagulability disorders due to their elevated thrombotic risks. In this article, we reviewed 13 who underwent 23 free flap reconstructions from 1998 2023 various anticoagulation regimens. Results showed a loss rate of 4%, additional intraoperative and postoperative potentially reducing complications. data concludes that in hypercoagulable is reliable careful management.
Continuous kinematic biofeedback during exercise interventions can lead to improved therapeutic outcomes in hand and wrist rehabilitation. Conventional methods for measuring joint kinematics typically allow only static measurements performed by specially trained therapists. This paper introduces skin-conformal, wearable wireless systems designed continuously accurately capture the angles of target joints, specifically wrist. Supported a computer vision-based calibration protocol run on smart...
Background: The distally based peroneus brevis (PB) rotational flap has been shown to be a reliable method of coverage distal third tibial wounds. is perfused via retrograde flow from PB perforators located within 8 cm the lateral malleolus. ability assess patency these vessels preoperatively facilitates surgical planning, and computed tomography angiography (CTA) used for perforator assessment other lower extremity flaps. purpose present study establish potential utility standard CTA...
PURPOSE: A low-cost option for pressure ulcer prevention is the manual repositioning of patients, but to do so efficiently would require an accurate tool assess risk. The purpose this study was establish feasibility Mercury Patch: a cost-effective, wearable, wireless device monitoring sacral in clinical setting. METHODS: Patch applied 11 surgical patients' skin when they were transferred operating table. An accelerometer then placed on side table record changes bed position. iPhone used...
