In the first of this two-part article on the 'optimum mobility' facelift, facial tissue mobility was analyzed, and three theories or mechanisms emerged: 'intrinsic mobility', 'surgically induced mobility' and 'optimum mobility points'.In this second part, these three theories are applied to a rhytidectomy procedure termed 'optimum mobility' facelift. Before surgery, 'optimum mobility points' are marked on the skin. During surgery, the subcutaneous dissection is kept to a minimum by carrying it out precisely to these 'optimum mobility points'. The facial tissues, with their skin and superficial musculoaponeurotic system attachments intact, are then mobilized laterally using the 'intrinsic mobility' phenomenon, and this mobilization fixed in place using mattress sutures.The 'optimum mobility' facelift is an efficient rhytidectomy technique that has a thoughtful, precise plan, a low complication rate, a fast recovery and very satisfactory results.

Factors associated with poor hip flexion range of motion after total hip arthroplasty in patients with ankylosing spondylitis: a retrospective study on 538 consecutive hips.
J Orthop Surg Res
December 2024
Department of Orthopeadics, the First Medical Centre, Chinese PLA General Hospital, Beijing, China.
Background: This study aimed to report the mid-term functional outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) for the treatment of advanced hip involvement in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and identify the factors associated with poor hip flexion range of motion (ROM) after THA in patients with AS.
Methods: We retrospectively investigated the mid-term functional outcomes in 313 AS patients (538 hips) who underwent primary THA from 2012 to 2017, with a mean follow-up of 7 years (range, 4-9 years). Postoperative functional outcomes were assessed by hip flexion ROM, Harris hip score (HHS), and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC).
Fabrication and characterisation of a flexible thermoelectric generator using PANI/graphite/bismuth telluride composites.

Unique thermoelectric properties of low-cost, widely available conducting polymers and multi-layered graphite structures have motivated the development of flexible thermoelectric generators using screen printing for low-temperature applications. Composites of polyaniline and graphite in different ratios with one weight percentage of bismuth telluride were prepared to fabricate flexible thermoelectric generators. The performance of the devices showed that the addition of graphite to polyaniline reduced the band gap energy from 2.

Surgical procedures of curettage and surgical resection are used to treat giant cell tumor (GCT) of the distal radius, but it is still controversial whether one provides better functional outcomes than the other. The present study aims to determine and compare both procedures regarding complications, local recurrence, and mobility. A complete search of the applicable literature was done and independently assessed by three authors.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) therapeutic effects on knee joint dysfunction after immobilization following trauma and to identify the optimum LIPUS intensity and duration.
Methods: A knee post-traumatic joint contracture (PTJC) model was established in male Wistar rats divided into three groups: front irradiation (n = 4), medial irradiation (n = 3), and sham (n = 3). LIPUS irradiation was performed for 20 min/day (30 mW/cm [spatial average temporal average] SATA, 1 MHz, duty cycle of 20%, 5 times/week, for 2 weeks).
Regulated Charge Transfer in Donor-Acceptor Metal-Organic Frameworks for Highly-Sensitive Photodetectors.

In photo-induced charge separation, organic thin films with donor and acceptor chromophores are vital for uses such as artificial photosynthesis and photodetection. The main challenges include optimizing charge separation efficiency and identifying the ideal acceptor/donor ratio. Achieving this is difficult due to the variability in molecular configurations within these typically amorphous organic aggregates.
