The efficacy of botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) therapy in axillary hyperhidrosis has been documented; however, there are a few studies reporting the BTX-A treating bromhidrosis. histological changes occurring sweat glands after treatment also unknown.The authors report on and safety bromhidrosis treatment.Nineteen patients were included this study. administered injection one axilla sterile normal saline as placebo other axilla. degree malodor was evaluated subjectively by before 3 months...
The decomposition of CO2 over oxygen deficient nickel ferrite nanoparticles (NFNs) and zinc (ZFNs) at 573 K was studied. oxidation states with fine structure Fe/Ni or Fe/Zn species were also measured in NFNs ZFNs catalysts, respectively. Oxygen deficiency catalysts obtained by reduction hydrogen. Decomposition into carbon has been carried out within few minutes when it comes contact through incorporation nanoparticles. rather than CO produced the process. complete possible because higher...
Introduction Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) and immediate breast reconstruction with gel implants have grown in popularity because of superior aesthetic outcomes. One risk this procedure is overexcision the flap leading to inadequate circulation envelope. Methods We investigated 17 cases NSM implant reconstruction. Patients were divided into an infra-areolar incision group a supra-areolar group. Nipple-areolar complex perfusion was evaluated using SPY imaging system after aimed discover any...
ABSTRACT Pressure sores are often observed in patients who bedridden. They can be a severe problem not only for and their caregivers but also plastic surgeons. Here, we describe new method of superior gluteal artery perforator flap harvesting anchoring with the assistance intraoperative indocyanine green fluorescent angiography. In this report, procedure outcomes 19 grades III IV sacral pressure underwent operation between September 2015 November 2016. All flaps survived, two experienced...
Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH), also known as Masson's tumor or vegetant intravascular hemangioendothelioma, is a reactive condition representing an exuberant organization and recanalization of thrombus.It can occur in normal blood vessels vascular malformations, perhaps response to vessel injury thrombosis.In this report, we present the diagnostic therapeutic courses 55 year-old woman 18 man, who had progressive protruding hand mass following contusion.The...
The use of implants is still the most common procedure for breast reconstruction because they are easy, less painful than tissue transplants, and do not need a donor site. However, it challenging to find suitable implant patients with small breasts, some women fear foreign bodies possible complications or reoperations. Autologous using pedicled latissimus dorsi (LD) myocutaneous flap without an provides good option Asian breasts.Between June 1992 December 2015, 31 underwent 33 LD flaps (29...
Abstract Vibrio vulnificus can cause severe skin and soft tissue infection ( SSTI ). The pathogen is an opportunistic marine bacterium that likely to infect patients with chronic liver disease, in immunocompromised state, those end‐stage renal disease. V. gains entry through tissues by direct penetration of a wound infected organisms, such as raw oysters, shellfish other seafood, or exposing contaminated water. Despite its ease entry, necrotising fasciitis compartment syndrome has rarely...
Abstract Background Loss of soft tissue in heel‐calcaneal region is frequently caused by trauma, infection, or tumors. Limited availability similar becomes challenging, therefore, the use free transfer offers a solution. Our aim to describe long term functional outcome different transfers for these defects. Patients and methods We retrospectively reviewed 24 consecutive cases defect between January 2009 December 2014. The fasciocutaneous perforator (FCP) flaps were performed 14 muscle with...
Although autogenous tissue-based breast reconstruction has been widely used in the past decade, implant-based is more often Taiwan because Asian women are generally slender with small breasts. For patients very breasts, it hard to achieve goal of reconstructing a similar contralateral one, even smallest size implant available commercially. Therefore, these need not only but also augmentation. Here we report surgical outcomes and cosmetic results using cohesive gel implants combined...
The basic principle of donor site selection is to take skin from areas that will heal with minimal scarring while balancing the needs recipient site. For loss lower legs and feet, most common harvest for split‐thickness grafts anterior or posterior thigh; plantar have been mostly used cover volar aspect digits palms. Between September 2015 2017, 42 patients on feet were treated because their cosmetic benefits convenience surgical procedure postoperative wound care. Our technique harvesting a...
Plantar hyperkeratosis, such as corns and calluses, is common in older people associated with pain, mobility impairment, functional limitations. It usually develops on the palms, knees, or soles of feet, especially under heels balls. There are several treatment methods for plantar salicylic acid plaster scalpel debridement, conservative modalities, using a shoe insert properly fitting shoes.We present an effective method reconstructing wound after corn excision split-thickness sole skin...
Many types of flaps are available if surgical reconstruction a pressure ulcer is indicated, including gluteus maximus flap, V-Y advancement and superior gluteal artery perforator flap. Regional flap failure can complicate treatment, requiring additional surgery. An 80-year old woman with 2-year history being unconscious following cerebrovascular accident presented Stage 4 sacral 2 months' duration eschar abscess formation. Because the wound measured 15 × 10 cm2, bilateral were used for...
Background and Objectives. Lymph node status is the most important prognostic factor in cutaneous melanoma patients. Recent studies showed that indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence lymphography helps locating sentinel nodes better. Sometimes, flap reconstruction needed after wide excision of tumor. Indocyanine also simplifies intraoperative design flaps. This study investigates use ICG patients with during operation. Methods. We performed a single-center, retrospective subjects using...
We report the results of laser arrays with 32 wavelengths in 0.8- or 0.4-nm wavelength spacing. For 0.8-nm spaced arrays, we demonstrate that a much larger range reflection peak spacing can be realized sampled grating DBR (SGDBR) mirrors, comparison previous designs. show to our knowledge best as-fabricated control for MWLAs are feasible DWDM applications.
A chemical burn is a specific type of lesion and represents small proportion all cutaneous burns. The incidence such burns can be as high 10.7%, they account for up to 30% deaths. They require individualized treatment management depending on the causative agent. Sometimes, might complicated with other major forms trauma, making it more difficult manage. This report details successful sulfuric acid an abdominal penetrating injury leading hypovolemic shock. 38-year-old woman presented second-...
Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (BPOP) is an uncommon benign hand tumor with a high rate of local recurrence, marked proliferative activity, and atypical histological appearance. The aim this paper to present rare illustrative example BPOP periosteal erosion. A 64-year-old male presented 10-year history mass, measuring approximately 3 cm in diameter, on the dorsal aspect right index finger. On physical examination, mass was hard, indolent, located at level proximal...
Multiphoton microscopy is a very important and powerful technique in the application of in-vivo drosophila brain imaging. However, photon budget, which compromising between imaging speed, spatial resolution accumulating time, remains huge challenge biological compatibility. Rapid dual-resonant volumetric multiphoton combines tunable acoustic gradient (TAG) lens resonant mirror, can achieve up to 8 kHz frame rate hundreds hertz volumes per second temporal resolution. Adaptively sampling each...
