Through deeper understanding of the physiology of wound healing and physico-chemical principles of scarring, biomedical science facilitates the development of new strategies in treatment and prevention of problem scars. It is important for practicing physicians and surgeons to be better aware of the full range of available techniques to control scar formation, and for any medical intervention to be planned in such a way that potential problems are apprehended and minimized or avoided. This article describes the clinical applications of recent research in scar control in order to provide such guidance.

Technical notes for a method of eyebrow reconstruction by retroauricular scalp graft: problems and countermeasures.

Department of Oculoplastic, Orbital and Lacrimal Surgery, Aichi Medical University Hospital, Nagakute, Japan.
Purpose: To describe a technique using retroauricular scalp graft for eyebrow reconstruction, along with problems encountered and countermeasures in treatment.
Methods: We present a patient with eyebrow loss following resection of a malignant schwannoma. We initially covered the defect from the upper eyelid to the eyebrow area with artificial dermis for hemostasis and to increase the granulation of the graft bed.
This study investigates whether lower self-regulation (SR) facets are risk factors for internalizing symptoms (vulnerability models), consequences of these symptoms (scar models), or develop along the same continuum and thus share common causes (spectrum models) during middle childhood. To analyze these models simultaneously, a random intercept cross-lagged panel model was estimated using Mplus. Data were assessed at three measurement time points in a community-based sample of = 1657 (52.

In intrasheath peroneal tendon subluxation, the peroneal tendons subluxate on each other within the retrofibular peroneal tendon sheath. Two subtypes can be distinguished: type A, in which the tendons are normal, and type B, in which the peroneus brevis tendon has an associated longitudinal split and the peroneus longus tendon subluxates through this tendon split. The purpose of this technical note is to describe the details of endoscopic retrofibular groove deepening for management of type A intrasheath peroneal tendon subluxation.

Objective: Post-cesarean delivery (CD) acute pain may progress to chronic pain, which may impair maternal bonding and child development. In 2013, we compared the efficacy of versus on-demand oral analgesia for post-caesarean pain in a randomized-controlled-trial. The fixed-time-interval group had received scheduled paracetamol, tramadol, and diclofenac regardless of pain level, and the on-demand group received medication as needed, with oxycodone reserved for unrelieved pain in both groups.

Hallux valgus (HV) presents as a common forefoot deformity that causes problems with pain, mobility, footwear, and quality of life. The most common open correction used in the UK is the Scarf and Akin osteotomy, which has good clinical and radiological outcomes and high levels of patient satisfaction when used to treat a varying degrees of deformity. However, there are concerns regarding recurrence rates and long-term outcomes.
