Abstract

Follicular unit extraction is a minimally invasive approach to hair transplantation that renders need of linear donor incision. Based on our many years' experience of using FU extraction method it seems that FOX grafts growing is worse compare to the common grafts created with dissection of the donor strip. We cannot find data's about survival of FOX grafts and therefore we attempted this single case bilaterally controlled study. Young patient with small (3 x 4 cm) postburn scar in fronto-parietal region was selected for the study. From donor area (midocciput) there were harvested grafts using both techniques: donor strip excision with subsequent stereo-microscopical dissection (107 FU-totally 176 follicles) and FU extraction using 0,95 mm punch (50 FU - totally 90 follicles). 107 recipient sites were created in the left and central area of the scar with N18 gauge Nokor needle and 107 common grafts were placed using jewelers forceps. 50 recipient sites were created in the right part of the scar and 50 FOX grafts were grafted. 5 month later the follicular survival was determined by counting terminal hair growth in these recipient sites. 94% follicular survival was obtained in the sites on the left and central side of the scar (c...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.
