Pierre Robin sequence results from a cascade of events that occur during embryologic development and frequently presents with cleft palate. Some studies have shown speech outcomes to be worse in patients after palate repair.A cohort who all required an airway intervention nasogastric feeding the neonatal period were identified assessed at 5 years age. A cleft- sex-matched non-Pierre sequence, palate-only comparison group was also same institution study period.A total 24 nutritional support...
Dermal substitutes are well established in the reconstructive ladder. MatriDerm® (Dr. Otto Suwelack Skin & Health Care AG, Billerbeck, Germany) is a single-layer dermal substitute composed of bovine collagen (type I, III, and V) elastin hydrolysate, that allows for immediate split-thickness skin grafting (SSG). The aim this study was to histologically characterize integration when used during burns surgery reconstruction. Eight subjects with nine burn scars one acute wound underwent...
Hypertrophic scars in burn survivors are a major cause of morbidity but the development evidence based treatments is hampered by lack objective measurements these scars. The our study to investigate most accurate parameters for scar assessment and create combination score facilitate use panel measurement tools.Three independent assessors evaluated fifty five sites on patients with both subjective modified Vancouver Scar Scale (mVSS) tools including DSM II Colormeter, Cutometer, Dermascan...
Objective: To investigate the effect of decompression nerves in lower extremity patients with painful diabetic polyneuropathy on static balance using a sensitive pressure mat system. Design: Non-blinded randomized controlled trial. Setting: Single center study performed at University Medical Center Utrecht between 2010-2013. Subjects: Patients assessed Diabetic Neuropathy Symptom score and Examination 18-90 years. Exclusion criteria were: physical problems leading to instability, BMI>35...
Isolated dorsoradial capsule injuries of the thumb metacarpophalangeal joint are different from those associated with collateral ligament disruption. Early suspicion this rare injury is important because, if overlooked, ulnarward subluxation extensor pollicis longus tendon can develop. Functionally, active extension becomes impaired, and over long term, a Boutonniere's deformity established. Joint hypermobility/instability may predispose to injury. The 2 cases presented illustrate through...
