The aim this article was discuss share authors' experiences utilizing fractional radiofrequency (RF) (Morpheus8; InMode...

Introduction– Rhinoplasty surgeons often rely on tip grafting in order to add volume the infratip, mid-tip or supratip areas. The author has developed a novel graft, from repurposed, pliable cephalic margins of lower lateral cartilage crura. main purpose soft triangle tension graft (STTG) is control medial crura, buttress triangles and small degree tip. Methods– A retrospective review was conducted identifying all patients where STTG utilized. Basic demographics, operative reports...

Abstract Background The negative effects of skin aging are primarily related to the destruction dermal architectural structure. More specifically, this includes changes in spatial arrangement collagen, elastin fibers, mucopolysaccharides, proteoglycans, and ground substances. Aims purpose study is investigate histologic subdermal tissue after a controlled single treatment with radiofrequency (RF) macroneedling. This therapy provides controlled, localized, thermal effect on dermis whereby...

BackgroundThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic has led to a halt in elective surgeries throughout the United States and many other countries world. Early reports suggest that COVID-19 patients undergoing surgery have an increased risk of requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission overall mortality.Materials methodsA retrospective review was performed all COVID-19, positive with polymerase chain reaction confirmation, who had between February 17, 2020 April 26, at major...

Meiosis yields haploid gametes following two successive divisions of a germ cell in the absence intervening DNA replication. Balanced segregation homologous chromosomes I is aided by proteinaceous structure, synaptonemal complex (SC). The objective this study was to determine total average autosomal SC lengths spermatocytes three commonly used mouse strains (129S4/SvJae, C57BL/6J, and BALB/c). Our experiments revealed that length BALB/c 9% shorter than other strains. Shorter SCs are also...

Mandibular condyle fractures are common following facial trauma and carry an increased risk for concomitant blunt carotid artery injuries. Further elucidation of this relationship may improve vascular injury screening management.A retrospective cohort study was performed all patients sustaining condylar presenting to a large center over twelve years. Fracture locations were classified according the Strasbourg Osteosynthesis Research Group (1, head; 2, neck; 3, extracapsular base). Carotid...

Abstract Background Hyaluronic acid (HA) filler injections for facial augmentation are commonly administered but can lead to post-hyaluronic recurrent eyelid edema (PHAREE). The pathophysiology of this condition has not been fully understood. Objectives To report the successful treatment PHAREE using serial hyaluronidase and fractionated radiofrequency microneedling, with additional carbon dioxide laser skin resurfacing in selected patients. Methods Five patients were treated 2 receiving...

Background: Arthritis can have profound debilitating effects on the hand secondary to finger deformities and pain. Arthroplasty of metacarpophalangeal (MCP) proximal interphalangeal (PIP) be performed reduce pain while maintaining joint range motion. Methods: We used outpatient surgery registries from states California Florida assess trends arthroplasty across several recent years determine if outcomes differ based disease etiology. Results: found that there has been a steady decline in...

We reviewed the patient demographics, injury mechanisms, fracture characteristics, treatment modalities, and outcomes of incarcerated patients who were referred for metacarpal evaluation to our high-volume tertiary care center from a New York City Department Correction infirmary facility. There is scarcity information in orthopedic plastic surgery literature on treating these common fractures this vulnerable population. conducted basic statistical analysis discuss potential implications...

Abstract Background There has been increasing demand for aesthetic surgery procedures in the United States, highlighting critical importance of competence plastic residents and rigorous methods training. Objectives The objective this study was to review outcomes from our resident clinic. Outcomes costs were compared national averages reports literature.
