Pharmacotherapy of impulse control disorders: A systematic review.

There are currently no evidence-based treatment recommendations for impulse control disorders, which include intermittent explosive disorder (IED), kleptomania and pyromania. Therefore, this systematic review sought to identify all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that investigated pharmacological treatments for impulse control disorders, to evaluate their efficacy and tolerability. Searches were conducted within MEDLINE, PsychINFO, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) databases.

Prefabricated flap composed by skin and terminal gastromental vessels. Experimental study in rabbits.

Background: The angiogenic induction property of the omentum makes it a promising pedicle for prefabricating flaps. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to establish the abdominal area to be prefabricated by the omental pedicle and to analyse the prefabricated potential (PP) according to the time delay between the pedicle introduction and the flap release.

Methods: Forty-four rabbits were divided into four groups (A, B, C and D).

Expanded median forehead flap and abbé flap for nasal and upper lip reconstruction after complications of polymethylmethacrylate.

Despite the benefits from the minimally invasive technique, complications may occur, raising doubts about the safety of polymethylmethacrylate as an injectable filler material. The authors report their treatment of a patient from another institution with necrosis involving full-thickness nasal skin and upper lip after injection of polymethylmethacrylate in the nasolabial folds and nose for augmentation. An expanded median forehead flap was used to reconstruct the nose, and an Abbé flap was used for the upper lip.
