Background: High-voltage electrical injuries usually cause extensive and devastating damages to the extremities. Timely and effective coverage of the wounds to maximally preserve the viable tissue is important for salvage and the ultimate functional outcome of the involved extremities. In this study, free anterolateral thigh flaps with a single-perforator pedicle were conducted to maximize tissue salvage and decrease late skeletal and neuromuscular complications of the involved extremities injured by high-voltage electricity.

- The study aimed to create hybrid nanofibrous scaffolds made of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and chitosan that mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) and to assess their biodegradation.
- The scaffolds were formed using the electrospinning technique and examined through various in vitro and in vivo biodegradation tests, involving rats and specific observation times.
- Results showed smooth fibers with similar sizes in both scaffolds, with the PVA/chitosan hybrid scaffold demonstrating faster degradation through swelling, dissolution, and fragmentation compared to the PVA-only scaffold.
Surgical treatment of brachial plexus carcinoma metastasized from non-ipsilateral breast cancer.
Neurosciences (Riyadh)
January 2011
Lesions of the brachial plexus may arise for various reasons. Metastatic carcinoma involving the non-ipsilateral brachial plexus is a relatively rare condition. This report presents the case of a 56-year-old woman with brachial plexus carcinoma metastasized from non-ipsilateral breast cancer.
