Parsonage Turner syndrome (PTS) is the development of severe, spontaneous pain with subsequent nerve palsy. Unfortunately, many patients never achieve full functional recovery, and have chronic pain. The use transfers in PTS has not been reported literature. We present 4 cases treated surgically primary transfer neurolysis affected following absence clinical electrodiagnostic recovery at 5 months from onset. In addition, we a cadaver dissection demonstrating an interfascicular anterior...
Abstract Background There is a paucity of research investigating the impact patient comorbidities, such as obesity and smoking, on nerve transfer outcomes. The objective this retrospective cohort study was to evaluate body mass index (BMI) comorbidities clinical outcomes upper extremity transfers. Methods A executed. Patients were eligible for inclusion if they had an with minimum 12-months follow-up. Data collected regarding demographics, injury etiology, transfer, well preoperative...
Background: Acute wrist trauma with clinical suspicion of a scaphoid fracture, but normal radiographs, is known as fracture. Standard treatment involves immobilization and repeat radiographs in 10 to 14 days. When are fracture still clinically suspected, the optimal management children unknown. This study retrospectively assessed outcomes pediatric patients diagnosed fractures. Methods: A retrospective was performed all over 2-year period treated for at tertiary center. Patients were...
Although abdominally based flaps continue to be the gold standard for autologous breast reconstruction, alternative donor sites are necessary when abdominal region is unavailable or inadequate flap harvest. In this case, thigh-based flaps, such as profunda artery perforator (PAP), transverse upper gracilis (TUG), newly described TUGPAP, thought reliable with low morbidity and satisfactory cosmesis. The objective of study was perform a systematic review reconstruction PAP, TUG, present...
Pelvic reconstruction with a muscle flap significantly improves postoperative outcomes following abdominoperineal resection (APR). Despite it being the gold standard, significant surgeon-selection bias remains respect to necessity of pelvic obliteration, choice, and ostomy placement. The objective study was characterize management practices among colorectal surgeons (CSs) plastic (PSs). Specialty-specific surveys were distributed electronically CSs PSs via surgical societies. Surveys...
ABSTRACT: Background: E-learning has become commonplace in medical education. Incorporation of multimedia, clinical cases, and interactive elements increased its attractiveness over textbooks. Although there been an expansion e-learning medicine, the feasibility pediatric neurology is unclear. This study evaluates knowledge acquisition satisfaction using compared to conventional learning. Methods: Residents Canadian pediatrics, neurology, programs students from Queens University, Western...
Background: The scaphoid is the most commonly fractured carpal bone in children. True fractures have proven to be difficult diagnose, as they may not apparent on initial imaging. Children with clinical suspicion of a fracture treated continued immobilization, even absence radiographic evidence fracture. purpose this study identify predictors true children help guide management. Methods: This retrospective cohort presenting tertiary pediatric hospital hand or wrist injuries. Patients were...
Background: While extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass is commonly performed by neurosurgeons with expertise in cerebrovascular surgery, it can also be together microvascular plastic surgeons. This paper outlines a guide for collaboration between surgeons and performing EC-IC along two case examples using the superficial temporal artery (STA), one of which required use dorsal hand Y-shaped vein graft, has not been described literature to date. Methods: Patients who underwent involvement...
While extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass is commonly performed by neurosurgeons with specific expertise in cerebrovascular surgery, they can also be together microvascular plastic surgeons. At our institution, some EC-IC cases have evolved to and surgeons a combined approach. Given the surgeons’ volume of experience performing their skills are utilized donor vessel dissection as well itself. This paper outlines Canadian perspective on collaboration between along case report...
Frostbite is often managed conservatively; however, in severe cases, microsurgical free tissue transfer required for soft coverage and limb salvage. Given its rarity, the techniques outcomes of these cases are not well described. The purpose this report to present largest case series, date, frostbite injuries requiring reconstruction
Rotational angiography, often referred to as a "spin", is typically presented in 2D. Since rotational angiograms are composed of images acquired from multiple angles, we took advantage this property develop method for converting any angiogram into 3D video. Our aim was low-cost and easily distributable solution without requiring additional hardware or altering acquisition techniques. Six previously our institution were imported using custom-written code exported anaglyph (red-cyan) videos....
<strong>Background:</strong> Hemifacial spasms are involuntary contractions of the muscles one side face. <strong>Case Report:</strong> Here, we report a 5-year-old female patient with significant past medical history, including mucopolysaccharidosis type VI, who also presented hemifacial spasms. Further investigations showed narrowing skull foramina and hydrocephalus, but no compression facial nerve. Carbamazepine was given to patient, which caused cessation <strong>Discussion:</strong>...
Introduction: One of the important factors in achieving gender equity is ensuring equitable surgical training for all. Previous studies have shown that females get significantly lower exposure than males certain specialties. Gender gap has never been assessed plastic surgery. To end, goal this study was to assess if there are any differences surgery between male and female residents. Methods: A survey sent all residency programs Canada No. surgeries residents operated on as a co-surgeon or...
On April 1, 2014, Canada will implement a drastically new set of regulations that redefine the laws on production and acquisition medical marijuana, affecting over 35,000 patients nationwide. Patients have to exclusively seek commercial vendors for marijuana pay much higher price compared costs growing in their residences. This provides several benefits Canadian economy protects against drug abuse, yet worries citizens users who are trying minimize costs. The government require obtain...
Hemifacial spasms are involuntary contractions of the muscles one side face.Here, we report a 5-year-old female patient with significant past medical history, including mucopolysaccharidosis type VI, who also presented hemifacial spasms. Further investigations showed narrowing skull foramina and hydrocephalus, but no compression facial nerve. Carbamazepine was given to patient, which caused cessation spasms.Currently, there is literature discussing relationship between VI; have proposed that...
