Background: The optimal age for cleft palate repair continues to be debated, with little discussion of surgical risk related to operative timing. This study of 3088 cleft palate patients analyzed the impact of surgical timing on perioperative and 30-day post-operative outcomes. Methods: Primary cleft palate repairs were identified in the National Surgical Quality Improvement (NSQIP) database from 2012-2015. Data were combed for total post-operative complications, rates of readmission...

BACKGROUND: Post-mastectomy breast reconstruction techniques differentially influence patient-reported physical and psychosocial well-being. Objective measures of shoulder biomechanics, which are uniquely influenced by reconstruction technique, may provide insight into the influence of reconstruction technique on patient-reported outcomes. METHODS: Robot-assisted measures of shoulder strength and stiffness, and patient-reported outcomes surveys (PROMIS-UE, SPADI, QuickDASH, SF12-PCS,...

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (PRS) has an illustrious history of innovation. The advancement, if not the survival of the specialty, depends on the continual development and improvement of procedures, practices, and technologies. It follows that the safe adoption of innovation into clinical practice is also paramount. Traditionally, adoption has relied on the diffusion of new knowledge, which is a consistent, but slow and passive process. The emerging field of dissemination and implementation...

Introduction: Traditionally, lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) is not routinely performed in the patients with advanced stage lymphedema due to difficulty with identifying functioning lymphatics. This study presents the use of Duplex ultrasound and MR lymphangiogram to identify functional lymphatics and clinical outcome of LVA in advanced stage lower extremity lymphedema patients. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study of 42 patients (50 lower limbs) with advanced lymphedema...

Background: Cleft surgeons try to construct a philtral ridge during primary repair of a cleft lip, but rarely document the results. We used three-dimensional photogrammetry to measure projection of philtral ridges after closure of the common forms of unilateral labial cleft. Methods: This is a retrospective study of patients with unilateral complete, incomplete (moderate and severe), and microform cleft lip repaired by one surgeon from 2000 to 2013. Cleft type determined the technique...

Vocal Fold Collision Speed in vivo: The Effect of Loudness. J Voice. 2020 Sep 28;: Authors: DeJonckere PH, Lebacq J Abstract Mechanical impact stress on the vocal fold surface, particularly when excessive, has been postulated to cause the so-called phonotraumatic tissue lesions, such as nodules and polyps. The collision stress between the vocal folds depends on the vocal fold velocity at the time of impact. Hence this vocal fold collision speed...

Evidence around careers show that many surgeons are inspired early in their career, often based on their undergraduate experience. In this context we reviewed the location of the first degrees of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) consultants and specialty trainees to look for any patterns or trends. It has been shown that there is variation across medical schools when core surgical trainee recruitment is analysed. No previous paper has undertaken a similar analysis of medical and dental schools...

Recent studies have indicated that the use of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) is a viable adjunctive to alveolar cleft reconstruction owing to its osteoinductive capacity. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of rhBMP-2 in the treatment of alveolar cleft with autologous bone graft by precise volumetric analysis. Twenty-six patients (ages 8 to 14) with unilateral alveolar clefts were enrolled in this comparative study. Patients were divided into two groups: the iliac...

Abstract In this study, K. oxytoca KMS004 (ΔadhE Δpta-ackA) was further reengineered by the deletion of frdABCD and pflB genes to divert carbon flux through D-(−)-lactate production. During fermentation of high glucose concentration, the resulted strain named K. oxytoca KIS004 showed poor in growth and glucose consumption due to its insufficient capacity to generate acetyl-CoA for biosynthesis. Evolutionary adaptation was thus employed with the strain...

Abstract Objective Cytochrome b5-reductase (CYB5R) and cytochrome P450 reductase (CYPOR) are important for cell metabolism; however, their role in thyroid hormonogenesis and carcinogenesis has not been elucidated yet. The activity of CYB5R correlates with the metastasis in breast cancer, but there are no similar studies for CYB5R and CYPOR for thyroid tumors. The aim of this study was to elucidate the activity of CYB5R and CYPOR changes...
