Burns Caused by Hand Sanitisers: The Trail of a Collateral Damage Left Behind by the Covid Pandemic.

Background: The current COVID-19 pandemic has changed human lifestyle to follow COVID-19 Appropriate Behaviours (CAB) and that includes social distancing, and the use of masks and sanitiser for hand hygiene. With increased use of sanitiser; the incidence of burns due to sanitiser has been reportedly on the rise. The study analysed the reported burn incidences due to sanitiser, found the relation between sanitiser and the aetiology of burn and formulated guidelines for its safe use.

Pedicled anterolateral thigh flap: A versatile flap for complex regional defect reconstruction.

Objectives: Soft-tissue defects of the lower abdomen, perineum, groin, and trochanteric area often involve the loss of composite tissue components and are technically challenging to reconstruct. The goals of reconstruction should include the replacement of the defect with a suitable soft-tissue flap that provides stable coverage while protecting important exposed structures. However, there are limited locations in this region for the creation of pedicled flaps for complex defect reconstruction.

Complicated Facial Lacerations: Challenges in the Repair and Management of Complications by a Facial Trauma Team.

This is a descriptive study where we present our experience in managing complicated facial wounds over a period of 1 year at a level 1 trauma centre by a dedicated facial trauma team consisting of a plastic surgeon, a trauma surgeon and a Maxillofacial surgeon. Facial deformities have profound impact on the social and psychological aspect of a person's life. Hence, management of facial wounds is very crucial.

Cross Effects of Diets and Rearing Temperatures on Gastrointestinal Evacuation and Growth Performance in Adult Sabah Groupers ( × . ).

This study explores the gastrointestinal evacuation time (GET) and gastrointestinal evacuation rate (GER) of the popular Sabah grouper ( × . ) adults using two established methods (X-radiography and serial slaughter) and square root modeling using different temperatures: 28 °C, 30 °C, 32 °C, and 34 °C and different diets: pellet (ash: 11.4 ± 0.

The challenges and complications of re-implantation of the penis following amputation.

Unlabelled: Amputation of the penis is a rare and devastating injury. The etiologies vary from accidental, self-inflicted to attacks due to sexual jealousy and revenge. In the present era of microvascular surgery, replantation is the standard care.

Adamantinoma of tibia: excision and reconstruction with free vascularized fibula flap: a case report and review of literature.

Adamantinoma is a rare malignant tumour usually affecting the diaphysis of long bones. The tumour most commonly affects the tibia. Conventional management involves excision with a wide margin, reconstruction and sometimes amputation.

Management of a Late Presentation of Bear Mauling with a Complex Maxillofacial Defect in a Tertiary Care Hospital - A Case Report.

Rationale: Bear mauling is the most common wild animal-inflicted injury in India. Ideally, these injuries should be managed early with fracture fixation, wound debridement, and appropriate coverage. Delay may lead to devascularization and a more severe deformity, which needs complex and multi-staged procedures for optimal outcome.

Identification of Prognostic Factors in Spaghetti Wrist Injuries.

: Spaghetti wrist injuries involve a complete transection of three or more structures at the wrist level (including tendons, nerves, or arteries). Few studies on spaghetti wrist trauma have been reported in the literature, and most of them have focused on functional recovery rather than the prognostic factors which affect the outcome. We attempted to address some of the lacunae in current knowledge.

Effectiveness of a microsurgery training program using a chicken wing model.

Microsurgical skills are essential for plastic surgeons in the modern times. Chicken wing model for microsurgery training offers an easy and cost-effective alternative to the traditional live rat model. A prospective study was conducted over a period of 6 months.

The role of plastic and reconstructive surgeon in trauma care: Perspectives from a Level 1 trauma centre in India.

Background: As the morbidity and mortality due to trauma are ever increasing, there is proportionally growing need of trauma care facilities across the country. In the context of expanding designated trauma care facilities, the role of plastic and reconstructive surgeon needs to be analysed and defined at least at a Level 1 trauma centre.

Materials And Methods: We included the patients who were operated under the department of plastic, reconstructive & burns surgery at a Level 1 urban trauma centre between January 2016 and December 2017.

Thoracoumbilical Flap: Anatomy, Technique, and Clinical Applications in Upper Limb Reconstruction in the Era of Microvascular Surgery.

Purpose: Microvascular reconstruction is the standard of care for salvage of soft tissue defects in complex upper extremity due to their distinct advantages over the pedicled flaps. However, in the era of microsurgery, pedicled flaps have an acceptable significant role for reconstruction of complex soft tissue defects. The authors aim to demonstrate the versatility of pedicled thoracoumbilical flap (TUF) in selected clinical scenarios.

Detecting protein complexes in a PPI network: a gene ontology based multi-objective evolutionary approach.

Protein complexes play an important role in cellular mechanism. Identification of protein complexes in protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks is the first step in understanding the organization and dynamics of cell function. Several high-throughput experimental techniques produce a large amount of protein interactions, which can be used to predict protein complexes in a PPI network.
