Published: April 2004

In this article we will discuss the treatment of Occipital Neuralgia (ON) and Transformed Migraine (TM) using a paddle style surgical stimulator lead. A paddle style electrode may have advantages to the cylindrical style in reducing migrations from cervical tension or anchor dislodgement. It should be considered in refractory "neuropathic" cervicocranial syndromes such as ON and TM before moving on to more aggressive surgical interventions.

Abdominal-based free flaps are the mainstay of autologous breast reconstruction; however, the region may not be ideal for patients with inadequate soft tissue or history of abdominal surgery. This case describes the use of a novel conjoined flap based on the profunda artery perforator and upper gracilis pedicles, named the perforator and upper gracilis (PUG) flap. This flap design aims to maximize medial thigh flap volume while ensuring robust tissue perforation.

 Soft tissue reconstruction around the knee area is still an open question, particularly in persistent infections and multiple reoperations scenario. Flap coverage should guarantee joint mobility and protection, even when foreign materials are implanted. The chimeric harvesting of the musculocutaneous gastrocnemius flap, based on the sural artery perforators, can extend its applicability in soft tissue reconstruction of the upper leg, overcoming the drawbacks of the alternative pedicled flaps.

Article Synopsis
  • The study addresses the challenge of mimicking biomolecules to create homospiral structures using a blend of inorganic polyoxometalates (POMs) and organic cyclodextrin.
  • Chiral double-helical chains were successfully formed through a specific arrangement of complexes, allowing for chiral transfer from molecules to the larger superstructure.
  • This research enhances the understanding of POM-based materials and demonstrates their potential for selective interactions in chemical applications.

The transportation industry's focus on improving performance and reducing costs has driven the integration of IoT and machine learning technologies. The correlation between driving style and behavior with fuel consumption and emissions has highlighted the need to classify different driver's driving patterns. In response, vehicles now come equipped with sensors that gather a wide range of operational data.

Birds generate a propulsive force by flapping their wings. They use this propulsive force for various locomotion styles, such as aerodynamic flight, wing-paddle swimming and wing-assisted incline running. It is therefore important to reveal the origin of flapping ability in the evolution from theropod dinosaurs to birds.
