White matter hyperintensity (WMH) is associated with cognitive impairment. In this study, 79 patients with WMH from hospital 1 were randomly divided into a training set (62 patients) and an internal validation set (17 patients). In addition, 29 WMH patients from hospital 2 were used as an external validation set.

Background: Restoration of hand function postextended radial forearm free flap (E-RFFF) is vital but challenging due to complex forearm anatomy and potential complications like reduced range of motion and sensory deficits. Traditional rehabilitation protocols often do not effectively address these issues.
Purpose: This study aims to explore the effectiveness of a hand therapy protocol that incorporates early active motion to enhance recovery outcomes after E-RFFF.

A modified thoracodorsal artery lateral branch (TDAL) chimeric flap was developed using dual-energy computed tomography (CT) angiography data of perforators to explore the anatomical characteristics and postoperative outcomes of TDAL flaps in complex maxillofacial defect repair. TDAL flaps were harvested from patients with locally advanced oral cancer. Preoperative perforator detection was performed with dual-energy CT angiography.

The increasing prevalence of chronic limb-threatening ischemia and diabetes mellitus has led to a surge in lower extremity amputations, driven by the combination of peripheral arterial disease and extensive wounds. Although revascularization often addresses ischemia, severe wounds pose a significant risk of amputation. Flaps, which involve the transfer of vascularized tissue, can provide immediate closure of complex wounds, particularly those involving bone or tendon exposure, where skin grafts are insufficient.

Chronic limb-threatening ischemia is an advanced stage of peripheral artery disease characterized by rest pain or tissue loss. Treatment of patients classified as ``no-option'' CLTI remains particularly challenging, as historically their primary treatment has been limited to major amputation. Venous arterialization has emerged as a promising alternative in this difficult-to-treat population.
