Fibular free flap with proximal perforator skin paddle due to aberrant anatomy - a case report.

Background: The fibular free flap is considered one of the most valuable options for mandible reconstruction. A perforator flap has gained widespread acceptance in oral and maxillofacial reconstruction. Typically, the fibula flap is obtained primarily with the distal perforator due to its reliable blood supply, with less attention given to the proximal perforators during the harvesting process.

Development and validation of an LC-MS/MS method for the determination of ARN14988, an acid ceramidase inhibitor, and its application to a pharmacokinetic study in a mouse model.

Despite aggressive treatment approaches, the overall survival of glioblastoma (GBM) patients remained poor with a strong need for more effective chemotherapeutic agents. A previous study has shown that ARN14988 is more cytotoxic to GBM cells compared to US Food and Drug Administration-approved temozolomide. This finding makes ARN14988 a desirable candidate for further pharmacological assessment.

Eyes are faster than hands: A soft wearable robot learns user intention from the egocentric view.

To perceive user intentions for wearable robots, we present a learning-based intention detection methodology using a first-person-view camera.
