Nasal reconstruction aims to restore both function and aesthetic integrity, with the nose being central facial harmony. The paramedian forehead flap (PFF) is a cornerstone of nasal due its reliable vascular supply excellent tissue match. Managing PFF donor area, especially for larger defects, presents challenges, secondary intention healing skin grafting common approaches. A 72-year-old male underwent after basal cell carcinoma excision. flap's area was managed graft. Years later, patient...
Dimerization of lawsone occurs upon reaction with Co(BF(4))(2)·6H(2)O and N,N'-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)ethylenediamine (py(2)en) to produce the mononuclear complex [Co(III)(bhnq)(py(2)en)]BF(4)·H(2)O (1). This has been investigated as a prototype bioreductive prodrug, where bhnq(2-) ligand acts model for cytotoxic naphthoquinones. Cyclic voltammetry data in aqueous solution have shown quasi-reversible Co(III)/Co(II) process at E(1/2) = -0.26 V vs Fc/Fc(+). Reactivity studies revealed...
