Case Files Internal Medicine (3rd edition) is an excellent internal medicine review book written especially for medical students in their clinical years. It perfect clerkships, sub-internships, shelf, and USMLE exams. Sized to fit the pocket of a white coat easy portability, this offers engaging high-yield medicine. promotes active learning, using patient presentations thought-provoking questions encourage deeper thinking about problems. The format will be comfortable anyone who has spent...
Infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are the most common benign tumors of infancy and occur with greater than 60% prevalence on head neck. Despite their prevalence, little is known about pathogenesis this disease. Given predilection hemangioma incidence face its nonrandom distribution embryological fusion plates, we postulated that IHs derived from pericytes neural crest. We performed an analysis 15 specimens at various stages IH progression. Experiments included immunohistochemical staining,...
Breast cancer-related lymphedema impacts 30% to 47% of women who undergo axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). Studies evaluating the effectiveness prophylactic lymphovenous bypass (LVB) at time ALND have had small patient populations and/or short follow-up. The aim this study is quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate LVB in patients with breast cancer.A retrospective review underwent from 2018 2022 was performed. Patients were divided into cohorts based on whether they ALND. Primary...
Background: A skin-sparing approach for the treatment of necrotizing soft-tissue infections (NSTIs) removes necrotic tissue planes while leaving viable overlying skin. Subsequent closure spared skin may decrease need graft-based reconstruction, which is associated with contracture, pain, and deformity. This study compared outcomes a traditional (excision diseased fascia) that patients NSTI treated at major metropolitan medical center. Methods: Demographic, clinical, operative details between...
Introduction Cutaneous melanoma is on the rise in United States, and head neck region primary site 20% of patients. Lymph node status best indicator prognosis for melanoma. In neck, sentinel lymph (SLN) biopsy presents particular challenges, with parotid posing difficulties that include locating nodes, less frequent visualization blue dye, possibility higher morbidity because proximity nodes to important neurovascular structures. Surgical approaches SLN dissection are variable, may...
Infantile hemangioma (IH) is the most common tumor of pediatric age group, affecting up to 4% newborns ranging from inconsequential blemishes, highly aggressive tumors. Following well defined growth phases (proliferative, plateau involutional) IH usually regress into a fibro-fatty residuum. Despite high prevalence IH, little known regarding pathogenesis disease. A reported six fold decrease in IGF2 expression (correlating with transformation proliferative involuted lesions) prompted us study...
A retrospective chart analysis was performed of 66 patients with bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) who underwent either single endoscopic release (ECTR) or staged ECTR to determine the frequency and timing contralateral surgery. Bilateral CTS severe 86% time second operation 6 ± 5 weeks after initial ECTR. Patients moderate 74% a mean 11 3 months between operations. mild 20% averaged 7 years procedures. For CTS, severity on side affects both This information may be used establish...
Excision of regional lymph nodes (LNs) in the neck as part management for tumors head and dates back to 19th century. Crile originally reported technique performing a radical block dissection 1905, with notable modifications extensive throughout 20th century by Suarez, Ballantyne, Ariyan, Shah among others. These have aimed reduce morbidity encountered while balancing need remove diseased structures neck. In this report, we evaluate outcomes functional sparing level I LNs indicated...
This case report demonstrates an important supermicrosurgical technique for lymphedema, which was established by Isao Koshima in 1994. So far, over 2,000 cases of limb edema have been treated this surgical method.
Background: Lower extremity reconstruction with free tissue transfer is a multi-step, complex operation. Reimbursement for these operations has decreased 20% over the last 20 years. This austere environment was exacerbated by COVID-19 pandemic, which stressed healthcare systems and contributed to staffing shortages reductions in operating room availability. For lower remain an economic logistical viability, practice patterns must evolve. The purpose of this study evaluate impact quality...
Background Acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) are frequently employed in immediate prosthesis-based breast reconstruction (iPBR) to provide structural support. Despite differences ADM derivatives, few studies directly compare their outcomes the setting of iPBR. We sought conduct a large head-to-head study comparing 3 ADMs used across our institution. Methods A multicenter retrospective review patients undergoing iPBR with SurgiMend PRS (fetal bovine–derived; Integra Lifesciences, Princeton,...
Penile squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare malignancy with high propensity for regional dissemination. While current guidelines recommend inguinal lymph node dissection (ILND) patients high-risk features, the surgery carries risk of lymphedema [1]. Indocyanine Green (ICG)-guided lymphangiography has been used to increase nodal yield and detection rates in dissections [2]. To demonstrate that "reverse" ICG-guided ILND safe novel technique may reduce postoperative penile cancer...
PURPOSE: Drain use for breast reconstruction (BR) is inconsistent among plastic surgeons. We aim to evaluate complications following superomedial pedicle (SMP) Wise-pattern BR, comparing those with <800 and ≥800 g removed, investigate the impact of drain on outcomes. METHODS: A multicenter retrospective review BR patients from August 2019 June 2023 was conducted. Patient characteristics, operative details, were collected. Complications categorized into minor major (i.e., reoperation)....
Abstract Background Capsular contracture (CC) is a common long-term complication following prosthetic-based breast reconstruction (PBBR). Seven cases of CC mRNA vaccination for coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) are reported in the literature. Objectives The aim this study was to determine whether receiving COVID-19 vaccine associated with development PBBR. Methods A retrospective, multicenter nested case-control performed from January 2014 July 2022 adult female patients who underwent PBBR...
