[Specialized Concepts for the Management of Severe Neurotrauma].

Neurotrauma results from violence on structures of the central or peripheral nervous system and is a clinically common disease entity with high relevance for patients' long-term outcome. The application of evidence-based diagnostic and therapeutic concepts aims to minimize secondary injury and thus to improve treatment outcome. This article describes the current management of the two main injury patterns of neurotrauma - traumatic brain and spinal cord injury.

and Assessment of Dimeric Flavonoids (Brachydins) on Glutathione S-transferase.

Introduction: , an important cattle ectoparasite, is responsible for a substantial negative impact on the economy due to productivity loss. The emergence of resistance to widely used commercial acaricides has sparked efforts to explore alternative products for tick control.

Methods: To address this challenge, innovative solutions targeting essential tick enzymes, like glutathione S-transferase (GST), have gained attention.

Ultrasonic- and Ultrasound-assisted Improvement of Silhouette of the Torso: Bone Structure High-definition Remodeling (Part I).

Background: High-definition liposculpture allowed plastic surgeons to achieve better aesthetic results by carving the underlying muscles and contours in a new way. Several authors have improved the original technique by adding other procedures and new technologies. We designed a new improvement by incorporating bone transformation surgery to overcome the lack of silhouette at the waist and, as a result, optimize the breast-waist-hip ratios.

Anatomical Bases for Aesthetic Costal Surgery: Assessing the Thoracoabdominal Limits.

Background: Knowing the anatomy of the ribs is crucial for understanding various rib procedures. The present study is aimed at describing radiological measurements and ratios of 83 Latin American patients undergoing thoracoabdominal computed tomography (CT).

Methods: A total of 83 thoracoabdominal computed tomography scans of women aged 18-35 conducted at a medical center in Lima, Peru, were reviewed from January 2022 to January 2023.
