Since the first reports of induction adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) into neuronal and glial cell phenotypes, expectations have increased regarding their use in tissue engineering applications for nerve repair. Cell adhesion to extracellular matrix (ECM) is a basic feature survival, differentiation, migration Schwann (SC) during regeneration, fibronectin laminin are two key molecules this process. Interaction between ECM SC-like differentiated ASC (dASC) could potentially improve...
Objective: There is striking paucity in consensus on the terminology, definition, and diagnostic criteria of mycotic aortic aneurysms. This literature study aims to elucidate this scientific omission, discuss its consequences, present a proposition for reporting items disease. Methods: A systematic review PubMed Medline using infected aneurysms between 1850 2017 was performed. Articles were assessed according protocol regarding criteria. Case series with less than 5 patients excluded....
There is no consensus regarding the terminology, definition, classification, diagnostic criteria, and algorithm, or reporting standards for disease of infective native aortic aneurysm (INAA), previously known as mycotic aneurysm. The aim this study was to establish by performing a study.The Delphi methodology used. Thirty-seven international experts were invited via mail participate. Four two week rounds performed, using an online questionnaire, initially with 22 statements nine items....
Patients with chronic patellar tendon ruptures, failed primary repair, injuries significant loss of tissue or skin coverage require a complex reconstruction. Several reconstructive options are available, but in the case revision surgery an associated infection, most them seems contraindicated. The use vascularized gastrocnemius graft to reconstruct knee extensor apparatus, is our opinion, appropriate treatment option. We will report chronical rupture (after allograft reconstruction) context...
Introduction Up to one-fifth of breast cancer survivors will develop chronic cancer-related lymphoedema (BCRL). To date, complex physical decongestion therapy (CDT) is the gold standard treatment. However, it mainly symptomatic and often ineffective in preventing BCRL progression. Lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) vascularised lymph node transfer (VLNT) are microsurgical techniques that aim restore lymphatic drainage. This international randomised trial aims evaluate advantages interventions...
Abdominal wall defects can present a challenge for reconstructive surgeons, especially in the presence of major visceral issues. Anterolateral thigh flaps (ALT) are widely used complex abdominal repair, whether pedicled or free, innervated, denervated. Previous reports primarily focus on reconstruction outer layers (muscle, fascia, and skin); however, this case highlights potential ALT to address complications at mucosa-skin interface, particularly stomal This report aims demonstrate...
Median sternotomy is the most popular approach in cardiac surgery. Post-sternotomy wound complications are rare, but occurrence of a deep sternal infection (DSWI) catastrophic event associated with higher morbidity and mortality, longer hospital stays, increased costs. A literature review was performed by searching PubMed from January 1996 to August 2017 according guidelines Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses statement. The following keywords were used various...
Background: The Resurfacing Capitate Pyrocarbon Implant associated with proximal row carpectomy has been used to treat symptomatic advanced carpal collapse, widening the indications of patients capitate head arthritis. authors retrospectively compared their case series implant versus alone, analyzing whether prosthetic outcomes could be similar those even a higher stage osteoarthritis. Methods: Fifty-seven who underwent surgery for wrist osteoarthritis (minimum follow-up, 2 years) were...
Peripheral nerve regeneration is critical and challenging in the adult humans. High level of collagen infiltration (i.e., scar tissue), niche injury, impedes axonal path finding. Unfortunately, studies focusing on modulation tissue nerves are scarce. To address part this problem, we have evaluated differentiated adipose derived stem cells (dASCs) for their antifibrotic regenerative effects a 10 mm gap model rats. Three different animal groups (N = 5) were treated with fibrin conduits...
Among breast reduction mammoplasty, the inferior pedicle-based (IFP) technique is considered most performed by plastic surgeons. A growing interest for supero-medial based pedicle (SMP) mammoplasty has been documented in literature and clinical practice. However, no real evidence exists on superiority of one over another.This study represents a retrospective multimodal analysis, using prospectively maintained database, comparing wise pattern techniques (IFP vs. SMP) 24-month follow-up. From...
Abstract Background Trauma-associated peripheral nerve injury is a widespread clinical problem causing sensory and motor disabilities. Schwann cells (SCs) contribute to regeneration, mainly by secreting growth factor (NGF) brain-derived neurotrophic factor. In the last years, adipose-derived stem (ASCs) differentiated into SCs (SC-ASCs) were considered as promising cell therapy. However, trans-differentiation process has not been effectively showed presents several drawbacks, thus an...
