Background: Skin cancer of the lip is frequent, and reconstruction after Mohs surgery might be challenging mostly when the postsurgical defect has a size of more than 1 cm(2) and is situated adjacent to the philtrum.
Objective: We present a combination of a transposition and advancement flap for the reconstruction of postsurgical defects of the upper lip.
Methods: Demonstration of the technique and practical application for this kind of reconstruction.
Results: The transposition advancement flap (TAF) presents excellent results for medium defects of the upper lip medially adjacent to the philtrum.
Conclusion: The TAF can be used in the reconstruction of the major part of postsurgical lip defects in the medial two fifths of the upper lip without any risk of lip distortion. As this flap is easy to perform, it is an important tool in the armamentarium of the dermatologic surgeon.

In congenital heart diseases (CHD) of moderate to great complexity involving the right ventricle (RV), the morphologic RV can be exposed to significant stressors across the lifespan either in a biventricular circulation in a sub-pulmonary or sub-aortic position, or as part of a univentricular circulation. These include pressure and/or volume overload, hypoxia, ischemia, and periprocedural surgical stress leading to remodeling, maladaptation, dilation hypertrophy and dysfunction. This review examines the macroscopic remodeling of the RV in various forms of CHD and explores remodeling trajectories, along with the effects of surgeries and residual lesion repair, in tetralogy of Fallot, Ebstein anomaly, congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, transposition of the great arteries with atrial switch surgery, and single ventricle palliated by Fontan.

Transposable elements (TEs) are significant drivers of genome evolution, yet their recent dynamics and impacts within and among species, as well as the roles of host genes and non-coding RNAs in the transposition process, remain elusive. With advancements in large-scale pan-genome sequencing and the development of open data sharing, large-scale comparative genomics studies have become feasible. Here, we performed complete de novo TE annotations and identified active TEs in 310 plant genome assemblies across 119 species and seven crop populations.

Hybrid repair of complex aortic arch disease typically requires aortic debranching to create a proximal landing zone for completion arch endografting. Despite advances in endograft technology, physician-modified endografting may be required to customize a prosthesis for challenging anatomy. We present a case of a complex distal arch aneurysm after a prior coarctation repair with a pediatric interposition graft several decades earlier, treated with hybrid repair by double transposition for arch debranching and physician-modified arch endografting for complete aneurysm exclusion.

Background: Dextro-transposition of the great arteries (dTGA) stands out as a prevalent cyanotic congenital heart defect (CHD), characterized by an intricate reversal in the arrangement of the major arteries. In the past, several surgical procedures have been used to treat dTGA, including the atrial switch. Although the method is no longer used, survivors of the procedure still living among us.

Keratinocyte carcinomas (KCs) are commonly located on the scalp and often treated with excision with peripheral and deep en face margin assessment (PDEMA), with Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) being the most frequently used method. Resection of these malignancies results in wounds with a wide variety of sizes, ranging from small, sub-centimeter defects, to extensive, nearly complete scalp defects. MMS is often the preferred treatment for tumor resection and margin clearance, as it allows for maximal healthy tissue preservation and has the lowest recurrence rates.
