Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the increasing use of the DIEP flap for breast reconstruction and highlights the development of 3D models to aid in the surgical dissection process.
- Collaboration among surgeons, radiologists, and 3D model makers was crucial in creating an accurate and user-friendly 3D DIEP model that can be accessed online via mobile devices.
- The resulting 3D model improved visual clarity of vascular structures and allowed for personalized adjustments, ultimately making surgeries safer and easier, especially for less experienced surgeons.
Article Synopsis
- This text discusses a case of infective costochondritis which developed after silicone breast implant surgery, highlighting its rarity and diagnostic challenges.* -
- A 36-year-old woman experienced persistent symptoms like redness and pain around her chest after her breast implants were removed, leading to an MRI that revealed abscess formation around a rib.* -
- After an initial surgery to remove the infected tissue, the patient later received chest wall reconstruction, emphasizing the importance of early surgical intervention for such infections to improve recovery and quality of life.*
Background: This aim of this study was to develop an objective tool for rating submental fat applied to Koreans.
Methods: The study was conducted between April 2019 and October 2019. A total of 92 subjects were enrolled in the study.
The aim of the study was to analyze the efficacy of retrograde innervation of single-stage free latissimus dorsi (LD) flap for facial reanimation by the distal stump of thoracodorsal nerve (TDN). After the main trunk of TDN was split in half to preserve the function of transverse branch, the proximal stump was coapted with the contralateral facial nerve, and the distal stump was coapted with the ipsilateral masseteric nerve, or vice versa. The length of each nerve stump and the time required for voluntary and spontaneous muscle contraction after surgical treatment were reviewed.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOsteoma is a benign, slow growing lesion that consists of compact or cancellous bone. Three types of osteomas could be classified: the central osteoma arising from the endosteum, the peripheral osteoma from the periosteum, and the extraskeletal soft tissue osteoma. in the craniofacial region, peripheral osteomas of the zygoma are quite rare.

Methods: The material consisted of pre- and post-treatment maxillary dental casts and lateral cephalograms of 30 patients, who underwent RME and maxillary protraction headgear treatment. Digital models were superimposed using the palate as a reference area.
Several resins have reportedly been used to synthesize hydroxamic acids except for the hydroxythiophenol (Marshall) resin. Herein we report the use of the Marshall resin to synthesize hydroxamic acids from carboxylic acids and its application to convert a library of fourteen discrete aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids including N-protected amino acids to their corresponding hydroxamic acids in good yields.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA novel convenient method for the generation of thiocarbonyl ylides from readily accessible starting materials and the first synthetic application of in situ generated ylides in the synthesis of silyl enol and dienol ethers, accompanied by C-C bond formation, is described. Under completely neutral conditions without any catalyst or additive, thermal reactions of S-alpha-silylbenzyl thioesters in sealed tubes at 180 degrees C provided silyl enol and dienol ethers in good to excellent yields with high stereoselectivities. This procedure consists of a multistep reaction in a one-pot process, i.

Methods: Six VX2 carcinomas and six bacterial abscesses were experimentally induced in either thigh of six rabbits. Dynamic T1-weighted MRI was performed before and 1, 3, 5, 10, 30 minutes and 16, 21, 72 hours after intravenous injection of gadophrin-2 (0.
