- Automated systems for perioperative goal-directed hemodynamic therapyAbstract Perioperative goal-directed hemodynamic therapy (GDHT) has evolved from invasive “supra-physiological” maximization of oxygen delivery to minimally or even noninvasively guided automated stroke volume optimization. Over the past four decades, investigators have simultaneously developed novel monitors, updated strategies, and automated technologies to improve GDHT. Decision support technology, which proposes an interven

- A Small Dose of Butorphanol Prevents Sufentanil-induced Cough During General Anesthesia InductionPurpose: This study aimed to evaluate the suppressive effects of a small dose of butorphanol on sufentanil-induced cough during general anesthesia induction. Methods: 120 patients who were scheduled for elective maxillofacial surgery of American Society of Anesthesiologists I∼II, aged 18∼65 years were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 40). Patients received butorphanol 0.1 mg (group I), 1 mg (group II) or an equal volume of 0.9% normal
- Cavernous Lymphangioma in the Maxillary SinusLymphangioma in the maxillary sinus is rare. Herein, the authors report an unusual case of cavernous lymphangioma, in the maxillary sinus, with imaging examinations. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of lymphangioma in the maxillary sinus, and be capable of distinguishing it, from other benign cystic lesions.

- Krishnan's Comprehensive Classification for Distraction Osteogenesis of Maxilla and MandibleDistraction osteogenesis technique has gained popularity and has been established as a successful procedure in the management of cranio-maxillofacial deformities for more than 2 decades. Varieties of distractor designs were evolved for the procedures in the maxilla and mandible. Various distraction parameters are clinically important as planned in each case. Inspite of distraction osteogenesis as a well-accepted procedure, currently there is no s
- Histologic Evaluation of Healing Lip Defects Treated With Injected Onabotulinum Toxin A and Topical Mitomycin CObjective: Using an experimental rat model, the efficacy of injected Onabotulinum Toxin A (BoNT-A) versus topical Mitomycin C in surgical wound healing of rat lip defects was evaluated. Methods and Materials: Sixty-seven male Wister rats received a triangular cut (7 × 7 × 4 mm) on their upper lip. Then they were divided randomly into 4 equal groups: group A (topical Mitomycin C plus injected BoNT-A); group B (topical Mitomycin C); group C
- Lower Face Reconstruction Using the Visor FlapWe present an alternative method instead of classical methods for lower face reconstruction in this study involving clinical experiences. We aimed to achieve more esthetic and functional results using visor flap. This flap has been used for the reconstruction of lower lip and submental region in two patients. Satisfactory functional and cosmetic outcomes were obtained in patients. Flaps and donor sides healed with no complications. The hair folli
- Identification and Recent Approaches for Evaluation, Operative Counseling, and Management in Patients With Freeman-Burian Syndrome: Principles for Global TreatmentFor many, the experience of a complex craniofacial malformation condition, such as Freeman-Burian syndrome (FBS), formerly Freeman-Sheldon syndrome, is deeply distressing. There are few references in the literature addressing initial evaluation and operative counseling for FBS, and guidance is absent. Two major outcomes of FBS are explored, namely diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic result, to identify factors influencing optimal clinical care in
- Large Anterior Oronasal Fistula Repair Using Pedicled Buccal Fat Pad and Fibroepithelial TissueOronasal fistula (ONF) is the most common complication after palatoplasty in patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP). When left untreated, it may negatively affect the quality of life, leading to development of other comorbidities. This study reports for the first time, the use of a portion of a hyperplasic tissue associated with pedicled buccal fat pad flap to repair a large anterior ONF in a 60-year-old man. The hyperplasic tissue may have dev
- Identifying Differences Between a Straight Face and a Posed Smile Using the Homologous Modeling Technique and the Principal Component AnalysisRecently, a homologous modeling method was developed to simulate 3D human body forms, which can visualize principal component analysis (PCA) results and facilitate its detailed comparison with results of previous method. Herein, we aimed to construct a homologous model of the face to identify differences between a straight face and a posed smile. Thirty-eight volunteers (19 males and 19 females, 38 straight faces and 38 posed smiles) with no medi
- Myelomeningocele: Medical Considerations and Stomatologic Aspects in the Dental TreatmentThe aim was to analyze systemic and oral aspects of patients with myelomeningocele (MMC), relevant for their dental treatment. Dental treatment of these individuals requires the dentist's extensive knowledge and careful information to determine the dental treatment plan. Thirty participants aged 3 to 16 years were divided into 2 groups: study group (15 MMC individuals) and control group (15 healthy subjects). All patients were evaluated for: syst

- High Diagnostic Accuracy of Transbronchial Cryobiopsy in Fibrotic Interstitial Lung Diseases Compared to Final Explant DiagnosisBackground: A diagnostic lung biopsy may be required in some cases of fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (ILD). Transbronchial cryobiopsy has been suggested as a possible alternative to surgical lung biopsy. However, previous estimates of its diagnostic yield were not validated compared to the definitive diagnosis in explanted lungs. Objectives: We aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of cryobiopsy in fibrotic ILD patients who subsequently ha
- The Interstitial Lung Disease-Gender-Age-Physiology Index Can Predict the Prognosis in Surgically Resected Patients with Interstitial Lung Disease and Concomitant Lung CancerBackground: The interstitial lung disease-gender-age-physiology (ILD-GAP) index and staging system have been reported as a clinical prognostic factor for ILD, including all ILD subtypes. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to clarify the association of various prognostic indices, including the ILD-GAP index, with the prognosis, the incidence of acute exacerbations of ILD (ILD-AE), and the use of long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) after surgery
- Prevalence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Patients with Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm: A Prospective, Parallel Cohort StudyBackground: The pathogenesis and etiology of thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) are largely unknown. Preliminary data from patients with aortic dissection and abdominal aneurysms suggest a causal link of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on aortic disease. Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of OSA in patients with TAA compared to a matched control group. Method: In this prospective parallel-cohort study, we 2-to-1 matched 208

- Mucinous Colorectal Carcinoma in a 17-Year-Old Male: A Diagnosis with Low Clinical Index of SuspicionColorectal carcinoma (CRC) is commonly found in adults. CRC in the pediatric population is extremely rare. Usually, CRC is diagnosed in children at advanced stage due to a low clinical index of suspicion. Mucinous type of CRC and its signet ring variant are the most common histological types which carry very poor clinical outcomes. This paper reports a 17-year-old male who presented with mild pallor and a 3-month history of abdominal pain accompa

- Extended-Interval Gentamicin Dosing for Pulmonic TularemiaFrancisella tularensis is a Gram-negative coccobacillus that is rarely encountered in clinical practice. Patients can present with cutaneous, pulmonary, cardiac, mucous membrane, or gastrointestinal involvement. A clinician should have a heightened suspicion in endemic areas or when outbreaks appear. Diagnosis is achieved through serological testing or polymerase chain reaction assays. Although historically the treatment of choice was streptomyci
- Descending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm due to Brucella melitensisBrucellosis is an endemic infection mainly in the Middle East and the Mediterranean region that can involve any system. However, cardiovascular involvement commonly seen as endocarditis is a rare occurrence, but it is one of the main causes of mortality and morbidity. Brucella mycotic aneurysms are extremely rare and carry a higher morbidity and mortality. Here, we present a case of Brucella mycotic aneurysms in the descending aorta complicated b
