In recent decades, the use of near-infrared light and fluorescence-guidance during open laparoscopic surgery has exponentially expanded across various clinical settings. However, tremendous variability exists in how it is performed.In this first published survey international experts on fluorescence-guided surgery, we sought to identify areas consensus nonconsensus 4 practice: fundamentals; patient selection/preparation; technical aspects; effectiveness safety.A Delphi was conducted among 19...
Abstract The advent of functional transnasal endoscopic sinus surgery has brought new opportunities in the repair difficult cerebro‐spinal fluid leaks paranasal sinuses. following four case reports illustrate cerebrospinal with use rigid endoscopy for enhanced angled visualization and illumination. A description surgical techniques instrumentation involving sphenoidal ethmoidal fistulas is reported. discussion etiology, diagnoses, conservative versus management rhinorrhea presented.
ABSTRACT Background The infodemic we are experiencing with AI related publications in healthcare is unparalleled. excitement and fear surrounding the adoption of rapidly evolving applications pose a real challenge. Collaborative learning from published research one best ways to understand associated opportunities challenges field. To gain deep understanding recent developments this field, have conducted quantitative qualitative review articles 2023. Methods We performed PubMed search using...
Dorsal nasal augmentation is commonly performed for various aesthetic deficiencies and/or reconstructive defects such as the saddle nose deformity. However, optimal technique volume has yet to be identified. The senior author (F.P.) since developed a new modified using wrapped diced cartilage within an AlloDerm. This novel construct provides plastic surgeon smooth, convenient, pliable option with similar operative times compared other popular techniques. In summary, this been proven...
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate a novel holographic craniofacial surgical planning application and its implementation throughout the operative stages facial transplantation by performing critical analysis comparative utility, cost, limitations MR 3D printing. Summary Background Data: Face is highly complex form reconstruction requiring significant planning, knowledge patient-specific spatial relationships, time-sensitive decision making. Computer-aided modeling has improved...
Fibrous dysplasia of the anterior cranial base involves bony orbit and optic canal. Although fibrous is benign, it may produce a mass effect along course nerve, inducing visual disturbances. Optic canal decompression in patients without clinical signs neuropathy controversial. We describe five with extensive involving These underwent transcranial before severe loss during correction dystopias craniofacial deformity induced by dysplasia. Cranial orbital reconstruction was performed means...
In lieu of limited resources, our multidisciplinary face transplant team requires a preliminary, supplemental objective grading scheme for identifying the optimal candidate. Therefore, was to develop an effective method evaluating "facial deficit," which could also be used in future allocation facial organs, analogous liver transplantation. Each candidate is screened using institutional review board-approved protocol's current inclusion/exclusion criteria. Five categories were conceptualized...
Facial aging is a dynamic process with impact on both the soft tissues and bones. Despite growing body of evidence, controversy still exists regarding absolute characteristics facial skeleton.The purpose this study was to investigate various mandibular measurements in different age groups delineate relation dentition these parameters.Ninety Caucasian mandibles were assessed for following distance landmarks: gonion-gonion, infradentale-gnathion, mental foramen-mandibular crest,...
Artificial intelligence (AI) image recognition models have been relatively successful in diagnosing cutaneous manifestations individuals with light skin tone. However, when these are tested on the same darker or brown tone, performance of model drops due to a paucity such images available for training.The objective this study was improve AI recognizing diseases tone.Unsupervised computer darkening color preservation dermatological disease/lesion characteristics light-skinned basal cell...
There are no established criteria for discontinuing ex vivo normothermic limb perfusion (EVNLP) before irreversible damage occurs. This study evaluates weight gain as an indicator of injury during EVNLP.Sixteen Yorkshire pig forelimbs were procured and preserved using EVNLP with a hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier (HBOC-201) or static cold storage. continued until termination met: arterial pressure ≥ 115 mm Hg, compartment > 30 20% reduction saturation. Limb weight, contractility,...
Background. Ischemia-reperfusion injury remains a primary concern in upper extremity transplantation. Ex vivo normothermic perfusion (EVNP) enables near-physiological organ preservation, avoiding the deleterious effects of hypoxia and cooling. We investigated effectiveness human limb EVNP compared with static cold storage (SCS). Methods. Twenty extremities were procured. Ten perfused at 38 °C an oxygenated red blood cell–based solution, contralateral limbs served as SCS control (4 °C). was...
Background With over a thousand FDA-approved artificial intelligence/machine learning-enabled medical devices, research and publications is maturing from focusing on the development internal validation of models to external implementation trials. Foundation models, especially Large Language Models, have spurred additional aspects AI related healthcare, with use text-based data address healthcare education administrative tasks patient care. Methods We performed PubMed search using terms...
Aligning the Theory of Mind (ToM) capabilities Large Language Models (LLMs) with human cognitive processes enables them to imitate physician behavior. This study evaluates LLMs abilities such as Belief and Knowledge, Reasoning Problem-Solving, Communication Skills, Emotional Social Intelligence, Self-Awareness, Metacognition in performing human-like evaluations Foundation Models. We used a dataset composed clinical questions, reference answers, LLM-generated responses based on guidelines for...
Background: Complexity of logistic issues related to facial transplantation includes donor tissue recovery, recipient preparation, and operative execution. Limited information is available on the intricate process associated with allograft procurement in United States. Methods: The face transplant teams at Cleveland Clinic Brigham Women's Hospital have combined their experiences regarding collaboration organ organizations institutional review boards, outlined technical challenges encountered...
Ischemia time represents a significant limitation for successful extremity transplantation because of the rapid deterioration ischemic muscle. Normothermic ex-situ preservation is an emergent method to prolong organ viability following procurement, by replicating physiologic conditions. The aim this study was develop normothermic limb perfusion system preserve and function porcine limbs 12 hours procurement.A total 18 swine were perfused. Thirteen used protocol. Five perfused according...

Abstract Five patients suffering from recurrent syncope in association with metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck were examined. Two had exhaustive diagnostic work‐up for syncope, which eventually disclosed previously undiagnosed, carcinoma. Case reports describe glossopharyngeal neuralgia, a well recognized cause cancer patient, characterized by acute unilateral or pain preceding each syncopal episode. The literature on diagnosis is reviewed, mechanisms unique to patient...
