Current single-cell RNA-sequencing approaches have limitations that stem from the microfluidic devices or fluid handling steps required for sample processing. We develop a method does not require specialized devices, expertise hardware. Our approach is based on particle-templated emulsification, which allows encapsulation and barcoding of cDNA in uniform droplet emulsions with only vortexer. Particle-templated instant partition sequencing (PIP-seq) accommodates wide range emulsification...
Social media platforms have changed the way medical information is disseminated. Transgender patients may utilize social to learn about gender-affirming surgery (GAS). Although videos on are readily accessible, their content not verified or peer-reviewed. Therefore, this study aimed evaluate quality and reliability of YouTube TikTok related GAS.YouTube were queried for top surgery, metoidioplasty, phalloplasty, breast augmentation, vaginoplasty. Quality video was analyzed by DISCERN scale....
Abstract Single-cell RNA sequencing is now a standard method used to reveal the molecular details of cellular heterogeneity, but current approaches have limitations on speed, scale, and ease use that stem from complex microfluidic devices or fluid handling steps required for sample processing. We, therefore, developed does not require specialized devices, expertise, hardware. Our approach based particle-templated emulsification, which allows single-cell encapsulation barcoding cDNA in...
Bilateral masculinizing mastectomy is the most common gender-affirmation operation performed. Currently, there lack of data regarding intraoperative and postoperative pain control for this population. It authors' aim to study effects pectoral nerve (Pecs) I II regional blocks in patients undergoing mastectomy.
Purpose The use of visuals to inquire about gender in the clinical setting has been rare. We developed a survey that included visual spectrum assess perceptions most and least inclusive ways inquiring patients with dysphoria. Methods multiple-choice question (MCQ), free-response question, on which respondents were asked select one box best depicts their gender. was administered all diagnosed dysphoria at our institution between April June 2022. Results A total 223 856 responded. Those more...
BackgroundIn the United States, over 6 million people are affected by chronic wounds. Patients often rely on Internet for treatment information; however, these educational materials typically exceed average eighth-grade health literacy level. This study aimed to assess readability and language accessibility of online patient education wound care strategies.MethodsA search was conducted Google articles related strategies. The first 12 unique websites from each strategy were selected further...
Research on the diverse patient population undergoing gender-affirming breast augmentation remains scarce. We compared patients this procedure at San Francisco General Hospital (ZSFG), a county hospital, and University of California, (UCSF), an academic medical center.
SummaryOncologic breast reconstruction (OBR) is a complex process that requires consideration of multiple factors, including chemoradiation, extent cancer treatment, and surgical approach. Patients often feel uncertain about the numerous options may turn to popular social media platforms like YouTube for information. Thus, this study aims assess quality reliability videos related OBR.We conducted retrospective, cross-sectional analysis OBR. Search terms were obtained from plasticsurgery.org...
PURPOSE: We compared patients undergoing gender-affirming breast augmentation at San Francisco General Hospital (SFGH), a safety net county hospital, and the University of California, (UCSF), an academic medical center. METHODS: reviewed who underwent primary SFGH from August 2019 to June 2023 (n = 73) UCSF March 2015 122). Pearson's chi-squared, Fisher's exact, Student's t-tests were used assess differences in sociodemographic characteristics, surgical access, outcomes between patients....
PURPOSE: The role of topical TXA in gender affirming mastectomy (GAM) remains less understood. Thus, this study aims to investigate the impact on reduction postoperative bleeding complications for patients undergoing GAM. METHODS: A single-center retrospective cohort was conducted examine outcomes who underwent GAM between February 2022 and September 2023. Rates hematoma other were analyzed. RESULTS: total 102 included study, comprising two groups: 68 consecutive control (136 breasts) 34 (68...
Gender-affirming surgery (GAS) is a rapidly growing field within plastic surgery, and residents fellows must receive appropriate training. However, there are no standardized surgical training curricula. The objective of this study was to identify core curricula the GAS.
Most patients undergo just one type of gender-affirming top surgery, but some will have a double-incision mastectomy after reduction mammaplasty. We describe 46-year-old transgender man who requested flatter chest undergoing mammoplasty the previous year. also provide three considerations to guide surgical decision-making in this situation.
PURPOSE: Social media platforms have changed the way medical information is disseminated. Prospective transgender patients, especially those with limited access to healthcare, may utilize social learn about gender affirming surgeries (GAS). Although videos on are readily accessible, their content not verified or peer reviewed. Previous literature has examined quality of chest surgery, but genital surgery. (1) Therefore, this study aims evaluate and reliability YouTube TikTok related METHOD:...
Post-injection paralysis (PIP) of the sciatic nerve is an iatrogenic that occurs after intramuscular injection, with resultant foot deformity and disability. This study investigates epidemiology treatment PIP in Uganda.Health records pediatric patients surgically treated for at CoRSU Rehabilitation Hospital from 2013 to 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Pre-operative demographics, perioperative management, outcomes coded analyzed descriptive statistics, chi-square categorical variables,...
Abstract Background To continue education during the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented a Virtual Education Platform (VEP) and Visiting Professorship (VVP) in March 2020 into our plastic surgery residency curriculum. This study investigated resident guest speaker perceptions of VEP since start pandemic. Methods The consists weekly VVP lectures usual conferences held over Zoom. In May 2020, residents speakers completed surveys that assessed using 5-point Likert scale open-ended responses....
Background: To continue education during the COVID-19 Pandemic, Virtual Education Platform (VEP) and Visiting Professorship (VVP) lectures were immediately developed implemented in March 2020 for plastic surgery residents. This study investigates perceptions of VEP since start pandemic Methods: The consists weekly VVP other conferences held over Zoom. In May 2020, residents speakers completed surveys that assessed advantages, disadvantages, satisfaction, using a 5- point Likert scale. August...
Purpose: The double-incision gender-affirming mastectomy with free-nipple graft (DM-FNG) is increasing in demand. One concern sensation loss to the chest and nipple areolar complex (NAC); however, extent of poorly understood. Therefore, this study aims quantify degree timing return NAC improve counseling expectations for patients. Methods: Participants are enrolled at consultations post-DM-FNG follow-ups. Semmes-Weinstein Monofilaments, ranging from 1.65-6.50 mm, assessed light touch...
