Abstract

The endoscopic technique has been utilized to harvest muscle flaps and detect perforators of fasciocutaneous flaps. This study aimed to compare the perioperative outcomes between the endoscope-assisted technique and handheld acoustic Doppler for perforator identification in fasciocutaneous flaps.This retrospective case-control study included patients who underwent fasciocutaneous flap reconstruction for traumatic soft tissue defects. In the case group, perforator identification was assisted by the endoscope-assisted technique. In the control group, age- and sex-matched patients received handheld acoustic Doppler to detect perforators. Perioperative outcomes, flap characteristics, and postoperative complications were compared.There were 12 patients in the case group and 12 in the control group. Compared with the control group, the case group had a significantly shorter length of donor-site wounds (9 cm vs 12 cm, P = .023) and a significantly smaller proportion of patients receiving skin grafting at the donor sites (0% vs 41.7%, P = .037). The case group had a longer operative time, but the difference was not statistically significant (180 minutes vs 150 minutes, P = .367). The amount of blood loss, the time length of postoperati...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
