Background: This article is a narrative review of split-thickness skin graft donor site (STSG-DS) management since the international guidelines were created in 2018. Although many new interventions have been developed, there is a lack of quality, multicentered clinical trials to produce updated evidence-based recommendations.
Methods: Electronic databases, including Google Scholar, Web of Science, Medline, and PubMed, were searched by two independent researchers for literature regarding STSG-DS management published from 2018 through 2022, using specific terms in the text, title, and abstract.

Self-stigma has been associated with reduced accuracy of face emotion recognition in individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis (CHR).

This study analyzed weight control in the trunk-based BC population and further compared BC outcomes in postbariatric and nonbariatric patients.
Methods: The authors performed a retrospective cohort study of consecutive postbariatric and nonbariatric patients who underwent trunk-based BC (abdominoplasty, panniculectomy, and circumferential lipectomy) from January 1, 2009, through July 31, 2020, at West Virginia University.
