Section of Facial Plastic and Microvascular Surgery, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio, USA.
Objective: Describe the use, indications, and outcomes of iliac crest bone graft (ICBG) with concomitant anterolateral thigh fascia lata (ALTFL) rescue flap for the management of mandibular osteoradionecrosis (ORN).
Study Design: Retrospective chart review.

Background: The anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap is a reliable and versatile flap with the ideal characteristics for soft-tissue reconstruction. However, as it is known for its highly variable anatomy, it requires preoperative perforator localization to optimize flap design and dissection of the flap. Dynamic Infrared Thermography (DIRT) is a non-invasive and quick imaging method that provides real-time information.

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester, MN, USA. Electronic address:
Background: Physical activity is protective against cardiovascular disease (CVD) and favorably improves CVD risk profile. However, more than 25 % of American adults report no participation in physical activity. Whole body electronic muscle stimulation (WB-EMS) training is a novel FDA-cleared technology which offers a time-efficient and adaptable method for physical training by simultaneously stimulating the main muscle groups using percutaneous electrical impulse transmission.

Article Synopsis
- - Hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death in trauma situations, leading to military and civilian advancements in medical practices, particularly through the use of tourniquets to manage extremity bleeding and save lives.
- - While tourniquets have significantly decreased deaths from bleeding in military settings, noncompressible hemorrhage still poses a major risk, especially before patients receive definitive medical care.
- - The study explores using a small, disposable pressure monitor during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) to enhance blood pressure monitoring, facilitate better resuscitation practices, and reduce the need for blood products in extreme environments.
Background: In March 2024, our hospital confirmed a case of Mycobacterium fortuitum infection in the left thigh. In January 2024, the patient underwent buttock augmentation surgery at a private plastic surgery hospital. One month after the surgery, the patient sought medical attention at the plastic surgery hospital, due to pain in both legs while sitting.
