AI Article Synopsis
- A study of 192 experiments shows that repairing brain injuries layer by layer helps tissues heal more effectively, as implants act as guides for recovery.
- Hydrocortisone treatment reduces the creation of dense collagen fibers, leading to a softer scar tissue made by astrocytes in the brain.
- Clinical follow-ups over 10 years indicate that combining hydrocortisone therapy with layer-wise repairs can help prevent the development of epilepsy.
Article Abstract
An analysis of 192 experiments has demonstrated that layer-wise plastic repair of osteal-meningeal cerebral injuries helps layer-wise reparation of individual tissues, since the implants serve as guiding membranes for the healing of individual layers of the brain and scull. Hydrocortisone therapy diminishes the development of gross collagen fibers, and causes the formation of a loose glial scar from a wide-looped network of processes of fibrill-forming astrocytes; 127 clinical observations of hydrocortisone therapy with layer-wise plastic repair of the brain and scull, followed-up for to 10 years, demonstrated that this method favours the prevention of epilepsy.

Case: A 48-year-old man with multiple injuries sustained a Gustilo type 3A right open distal humerus fracture with a 4-cm wound, contralateral radius shaft, and ilium fractures. Following wound irrigation on the day of injury, second look debridement showed crushed triceps and severe contamination extending into the distal humerus medullary canal. After 6 days of initial plate fixation, he developed signs of deep infection.

Case: We present a 42-year-old man who developed extensive left lower extremity arterial thrombosis following COVID-19 pneumonia. Despite multiple revascularization attempts and a below-knee amputation, he faced wound necrosis and insufficient soft tissue coverage. An innovative approach using a pedicled flap and sequential flow-through free flaps was used for limb salvage.

Background In the healthcare setting, transgender patients are often marginalized, face discrimination and have limited access to high-quality gender-affirming care, such as gender-affirming surgery (GAS). As a result, the available data pertaining to GAS are often based on convenience samples, and the majority of published studies in the US are cross-sectional. Transgender people may undergo GAS to align their bodies with their gender identities.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of the Relative Value Update Committee (RUC) and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services current times and work relative value units (wRVUs) for the perioperative work involved in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction by directly timing perioperative tasks as they occur in real time.
Methods: The RUC was contacted to obtain a list of perioperative tasks and the corresponding times allotted for the tasks involved in arthroscopically aided ACL reconstruction (Current Procedural Terminology code 29888). The tasks that occurred both inside and outside the operating room were timed by the attending physician as the event occurred.
Reconstruction of the Severe Cervical Scar Contracture Using a Combination of the Pre-expanded Bipedicled Forehead Flap and Lower Trapezius Musculocutaneous Flap.

Reconstructing severe cervical scar contractures (SCSC) remains a considerable challenge. This study presents a novel approach to SCSC reconstruction using a combination of pre-expanded bipedicled forehead and lower trapezius musculocutaneous flaps. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 25 patients who underwent this procedure between April 2004 and July 2020.
