For full-thickness lip defects, the choice of reconstructive option depends on the size of the defect. Defects of one-quarter to one-third of the upper lip can be closed primarily. Largerdefects measuring one-third to two-thirds of the lower lip width may be closed with the Karapandzic, Abbe or Estlander flaps. If the commissure is involved, both the Karapandzic and Estlander flaps may be used; however, the Karapandzic is probably the better choice because it is better at maintaining oral competence. In the case of larger lower lip defects (more than two-thirds of the lip), if there is sufficient adjacent cheek tissue, the surgeon may employ the Karapandzic (for defects up to three-fourths of the lower lip width) or the Bernard-Burow's techniques (to reconstruct the entire lower lip). A case of post-traumatic, lower lip defect, reconstructed with a bilateral karapandzic flap is presented here.

Background: Identifying asymptomatic patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) poses a challenge, and their optimal management is less certain, despite similar outcomes to symptomatic AF patients. The 'Atrial fibrillation Better Care' (ABC) pathway has been recently proposed as a holistic or integrated care approach for the comprehensive management of symptomatic patients with AF. We aimed to determine the use of the ABC pathway on clinical outcomes in asymptomatic patients with AF.

The structural integrity of the lips is essential for both aesthetic appeal and oral functionality. Defects in this region, which may arise from a variety of causes, can significantly affect a patient's physical and psychological well-being. This case report introduces a novel surgical technique designed for the repair of substantial defects in the lower lip.

Objective: This study evaluated the degree of paresthesia and recovery of the lower lip and chin in patients who underwent sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) by measuring the preoperative and postoperative trigeminal somatosensory evoked potential (TSEP).
Study Design: Thirty-seven patients with skeletal class II and III malocclusion who underwent SSRO were included. TSEP was measured at 7 points: preoperatively and 1 week, 1, 3, 6, 12, and 18 months postoperatively.

Objective: To analyze the temporal trends of oral anticoagulant (OAC) prescription, direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) dose, clinical outcomes and factors associated with non-anticoagulation in patients with incident atrial fibrillation (AF).
Patients And Methods: During January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2020, a total of 249,107 patients with newly diagnosed AF were identified, and the 1-year risks of ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), and all-cause mortality were analyzed.
Results: OAC prescription increased from 22.
