An advisory panel of academicians, private practice physicians, nurse clinicians, and research nurses was chosen to develop guidelines (minimum standards) for the treatment arterial insufficiency ulcers lower extremities. Previous guidelines, meta-analyses, PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, The Cochrane Database Systematic Reviews, recent review articles ulcer treatment, Medicare/CMS consensus usual chronic wounds were all searched reviewed evidence. Guidelines formulated, underlying principle(s)...
Abstract The Wound Healing Society guidelines for the treatment of arterial insufficiency ulcers were originally published in 2006, with last update 2014. These provided recommendations, along their respective levels evidence, on seven categories: diagnosis, surgery, infection control, wound bed preparation, dressings, adjuvant therapy and long‐term maintenance. Over 9 years, additional literature regarding these aspects ulcer management has been published. An advisory panel comprised...
As social media have become pervasive in contemporary society, plastic surgery content has commonplace. Two of the most engaging and popular platforms are Instagram Twitter, much research been performed with respect to Twitter. Currently, there no studies comparing contrasting two platforms. The aim this study was robustly sample posts on Twitter quantitatively qualitatively evaluate platform differences.The hashtag #PlasticSurgery systematically queried twice per day, for 30 consecutive...
Background: Despite policies such as the Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act (WHCRA) Breast Patient Education Act, rates for breast reconstruction vary are especially low some subpopulations of patients, rural women. In order to better understand patient perceptions, qualitative analysis using focus groups is an underutilized tool obtaining perspectives regarding health-related issues access care. Our aim was perceptions analysis. Methods: Three were held in counties within West Virginia...
The Wound Healing Society (WHS) is a professional society of physicians, nurses, physical therapists, podiatrists, and other wound care specialists, basic scientists, clinical researchers, industrial researchers dedicated to assuring that every patient receives optimal care. Its mission advance the science practice healing. To end, following comprehensive, evidence- consensus-based guidelines were developed address Prevention Lower Extremity Arterial Insufficiency Ulcers. are presented in...
Healthcare advocacy is an important tool in the plastic surgeon's arsenal that stands potential to improve both patient care and profession. However, many physicians underestimate importance influence healthcare has on profession feel they lack leverage knowledge advocate behalf of themselves, their practices, patients, profession, all which are untrue. Plastic surgeons uniquely positioned based clinical acumen, personal experiences with care, position ecosystem value chain. This article...
Summary: The American Society of Plastic Surgeons commissioned the Autologous Breast Reconstruction Performance Measure Development Work Group to identify and draft quality measures for care patients undergoing autologous breast reconstruction other surgery. Four outcome one process measure were identified. Outcomes include patient satisfaction with information all reconstruction, a subscale BREAST-Q, length stay, operative time, rate blood transfusion transfusion. looks at coordination...
Fournier’s gangrene isolated to the penis is exceedingly rare. It an urologic emergency that requires emergent parenteral antibiotics as well aggressive irrigation and debridement. While human bite wounds can be overlooked a serious cause of injury infection, they result in highly dangerous, polymicrobial infections affected patients. Here, we report case penile caused by wound managed with broad spectrum antibiotics, debridement, reconstruction, skin grafting successful preservation normal...
Primary cutaneous mucinous carcinoma (PCMC) is a rare mucin-producing malignancy derived from epithelial glandular structures. The literature regarding this topic mostly in the form of case reports and series. PCMC tends to present elderly with predilection for head neck on initial assessment it can be easily mistaken simple inclusion cyst. Although often indolent nature, instances metastasize should remain differential diagnosis selected population. significance identifying reliably...
INTRODUCTION: Previous studies identified obesity as a decreasing factor of reliability when opting for flap reconstruction, either pedicled or free.1–3 Deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) has delicate dissection and may add to time, operation room/ anesthesia hospital stay, donor site complications.2,3.The purpose this study is demonstrate that deep reliable choice reconstruction obese patients. METHODS: Retrospective analysis 77 breast reconstructions with autologous free performed...
Background: Plastic Surgery residency is competitive, and there literature that currently identifies predictors of a successful match into plastic surgery residency. However, paucity outlining the barriers URiM students face to achieve metrics become candidate for match. Our study aims identify medical applying programs. Methods: divided two parts. First we performed 10 year review using PUBMED from 2013-2023 looking faced by candidate. Secondly, distributed survey geared towards interested...
