Foot and Ankle Reconstruction Using Retrograde Lateral Supramalleolar Flap.
Indian J Plast Surg
December 2024
Treatment of soft-tissue defects in the foot and ankle is a challenge. The use of a retrograde lateral supramalleolar flap is a promising technique for reconstruction. This study aims to assess the efficacy and outcomes of the technique.

In earlier studies, the effect could not be isolated from stone size. Accordingly, we sought to determine whether UWT, alone or combined with stone size, could enhance SSP predictability.

Setting: An Intensive Care Centre for the Treatment of Critically Ill Patients with COVID-19 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Article Synopsis
- Headache disorders are a major cause of disability among young adults, and this study is the first to examine their prevalence among Vietnamese medical students.
- Data were collected from 1,362 participants using structured interviews and diagnostic criteria, revealing that 82.6% experienced headaches in the past year, with specific rates of migraine at 21.8% and tension-type headache (TTH) at 54.0%.
- Female students had a higher likelihood of experiencing migraines, while TTH was more common among older students, indicating varying patterns in headache types based on gender and age.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the complexes formed between 18-crown-6-tetracarboxylic acid (18C6TA) and the two enantiomers of protonated tyrosine (L- and D-Tyr) using mass spectrometry, laser spectroscopy, and DFT calculations in a cryogenic ion trap.
- Spectra reveal multiple isomers for each complex, with some isomers capable of interconverting under IR irradiation, while conformer-selective vibrational spectroscopy shows all structures featuring an internally hydrogen-bonded folded arrangement of the crown ether.
- Complexes with L-Tyr display two NH…O interactions with the ether's oxygen and additional hydrogen bonds, while D-Tyr complexes are more flexible,
