Article Synopsis
- Anterior mandible defects impact support for essential functions like airway, feeding, and speech, which can result in complications for patients.
- In a study involving four patients with these deformities, reconstruction was achieved using a fibula osteocutaneous flap for the mandible and a soft tissue flap for the lip and neck, with all flaps successfully surviving.
- Post-surgery, patients transitioned from tube feeding to oral diets, tracheostomies were removed, drooling ceased, and speech improved significantly, demonstrated by a marked increase in the functional assessment score.

Purpose Typical nutritional assessment criteria and screening tools are ineffective in mechanically ventilated patients who are often unable to report their food intake history. The Nutrition Risk in Critically Ill (NUTRIC) score is effective for screening mechanically ventilated patients. This prospective observational study was conducted to identify nutritional risk in mechanically ventilated patients using a modified NUTRIC (mNUTRIC) score (without using interleukin-6 values).

Burns
February 2019
Article Synopsis
- Keloids and hypertrophic scars are difficult to treat, with conventional methods often yielding unpredictable outcomes and complications.
- A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 120 patients to compare the effectiveness of intralesional 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) combined with triamcinolone acetonide (TAC) against TAC alone.
- Results showed that the combination therapy significantly reduced scar height and had a lower recurrence rate compared to TAC alone, making it a safe and effective treatment option.
