Acro-ischemic lesions in COVID-19 patients: A case series.

COVID-19 is a systemic disease characterized by vascular damage, increased inflammation, and hypercoagulability. Acral ischemic lesions occur as a result of increased inflammation and cutaneous thrombosis. Skin lesions can sometimes be the only symptom of COVID-19.

Our Clinical Algorithmic Approach for Meningomyelocele Defects Reconstruction with Fasciocutaneous Flaps.

Aim: To evaluate fasciocutaneous flaps used for reconstruction of meningomyelocele defects in our clinic and to suggest an algorithm for flap selection.

Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis of 45 patients with meningomyelocele, who underwent repair with fasciocutaneous flaps, was carried out. Preoperative and postoperative photos were analyzed.

A novel thermostable xylanase from Geobacillus vulcani GS90: Production, biochemical characterization, and its comparative application in fruit juice enrichment.

Xylanases have great attention to act as a potential role in agro-industrial processes. In this study, production, characterization, and fruit juice application of novel xylanase from thermophilic Geobacillus vulcani GS90 (GvXyl) were performed. GvXyl was purified via acetone precipitation and gel-filtration chromatography.

Use of an Autologous Diced Cartilage Graft and Fat Graft Combination to Improve Regeneration in Rhinoplasty.

Background: In rhinoplasty, many techniques are used to increase the permanence of the planned final shape of the nose. Cartilage grafts can be diced and applied directly to the nasal dorsum, or by wrapping with a material. We aim to show that mixing and using diced cartilage grafts with fat grafts can contribute to the viability of cartilage grafts by comparing our early postoperative and long-term results.

Reconstruction of Hair-Bearing Areas.

Hair-bearing areas reconstruction is a difficult field because of limited donor area. Various techniques have been described for hair-bearing areas reconstruction, but the choice of the flap is variable depending on surgeons and patients. In this study, the authors present 7 patients who underwent soft tissue reconstruction with the pedicled superficial temporal artery-based flaps in the hair-bearing areas.
