Background Breast implant illness (BII) after aesthetic breast augmentation remains a poorly defined syndrome encompassing wide spectrum of symptoms. While previously published series have observed overall symptomatic improvement removal, 1–3 there is lack studies evaluating changes in specific symptoms over time. The purpose this study was to gain an understanding associated with BII, and evaluate how these change removal implants total capsulectomy (explantation). We hypothesized that...
To examine gender differences in human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine stages of change following the recommendations for permissive use HPV males.Students aged 18-26 attending a large, public, Midwest university April 2010.Participants completed self-administered, online questionnaire. stage was assessed according to core constructs Transtheoretical Model Behavior Change. Logistic regression used identify associations HPV-related beliefs and attitudes with change.Although most (80.5%) 4,019...
Congenital hand and upper limb differences include a wide spectrum of structural abnormalities that affect functional, appearance, psychosocial domains affected children. Ongoing advances in the understanding treatment these continue to shape management. Over past 10 years, new developments have been made areas molecular genetics, noninvasive treatments, surgical techniques, outcome measures several commonly seen congenital differences. Applying knowledge management will enable surgeons...
Full-thickness scalp necrosis secondary to hair weave placement is a rare but serious complication of common hairstyle. The defects can be large and may necessitate complex reconstruction with hair-bearing tissue. We report on the case young woman extensive loss following tight spiral braiding. description illustrates this relatively unknown complication, its treatment, possible preventative measures.
Background: Plastic surgery evaluates residents on milestones. This study defines a model of education including pre and post-test assessments paired with didactics intended for evaluating in the unique technical skills craniofacial surgery. Methods: At first institution, instrument identification, time/accuracy burr hole placement, craniotomy, plating Saw Bones Craniofacial Models were tested before after 7.5-hour orthognathic workshop. second this was refined, removing plating, eliminating...
Background: Plastic surgery evaluates residents on milestones, and there is limited data optimal resident education of orthognathic craniofacial surgical principles. This study defines a model including pre post-test assessments paired with didactics, the intention evaluating educating in unique technical skills surgery. Methods: At first institution, instrument identification, time/accuracy burr hole placement, craniotomy, plating Saw BonesTM Craniofacial Models were tested before after 7.5...
In the clinical care of patients with burn injuries requiring grafting, skin graft donor site pain significantly affects management, narcotic use, and hospital length stay. We proposed to evaluate efficacy regional anesthesia decrease consumption, assess impact on hospitalization costs via meta-analysis. hypothesized that at sites would as well total compared non-regional management. Using PRISMA criteria, PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase ScienceDirect were searched following inclusion criteria:...

BACKGROUND: Plastic surgery evaluates residents on milestones. Previously, we defined a model of education including pre and post-test assessments single day lab training intended for evaluating in the unique technical skills craniofacial surgery. This study aims to validate this task-based assessment using solely Saw Bones (TM) brief instructor common pitfalls METHODS: Three tasks were evaluated: instrument identification (channel retractor, lamina spreader, double guarded nasal osteotome,...
BACKGROUND: Infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are the most common benign tumor of infancy and can have profound effects on well-being patients.1 With variability in use surgery among providers, it be difficult to counsel patients their families potential surgical treatment. Through development Case Western Hemangioma Intervention Predictor (CHIP) score, this study aims improve consistency counseling regarding timing referral. METHODS: This was a retrospective review all (181) treated for IHs at...
Purpose: Breast Implant Illness (BII) after aesthetic breast augmentation remains a poorly defined syndrome. Patients attribute spectrum of symptoms to implants. Previously published series have observed subjective improvement in breathing following implant removal and total capsulectomy. We hypothesized that patients presenting with BII would significant pulmonary function tests their implants capsules (explantation). Methods: A retrospective study all single-surgeon practice over 2 years...
Background: The effects of subjective gender bias during the plastic surgery residency application process remains understudied. We hypothesized that an objective merit-based gender-neutral algorithm results in a distribution interviewees proportional to applicant pool. This study evaluated efficacy Case Western Resident Application Assessment (CWRAA) as tool screen applicants while avoiding bias. Methods: A retrospective was conducted using CWRAA, utilizing tripartite weighted system...
