Blood vessel occlusion in periburn tissue is secondary to erythrocyte aggregation and mitigated by a fibronectin-derived peptide that limits burn injury progression
Blood vessel occlusion in periburn tissue is secondary to erythrocyte aggregation and mitigated by a fibronectin-derived peptide that limits burn injury progression: ABSTRACT Although vascular occlusion has long been noted in periburn tissue, the literature is inconsistent regarding the nature of the occlusion, with articles in the 1940s claiming that erythrocytes were the culprit and in the 1980s-90s that microthrombi were responsible. To better define the nature of vessel occlusion, we studied two porcine burn models, a hot comb horizontal injury model and a vertical injury progr... περισσότερα »

Microsurgical Skill Acquisition In A One-day Introductory Course With Performance Evaluation Using Software Assisted Scoring System
Microsurgical Skill Acquisition In A One-day Introductory Course With Performance Evaluation Using Software Assisted Scoring System: Recent emphasis on microsurgical skill acquisition at an earlier stage of plastic surgery training has seen a shift towards objective competence based assessment. Yet no objective measures of spacing or alignment exist, with few validated models that assess ability. The authors propose a novel software analysis scoring system to objectively measure spacing, alignment and overall improvement in a one-day, introductory course setting.
Autologous plasma and its supporting role in fat graft survival
: a relevant vector to counteract resorption in lipofilling: Fat grafting has become a widespread technique for different reconstructive and aesthetic purposes. However, the disadvantage of fat grafting is the unpredictable resorption rate that often necessitates repetitive procedures, which in turn may have an impact on the morbidity. During the immediate, post-graft, ischemic period, cells survive due to the process of plasmatic imbibition. This biological phenomenon precedes the ingrowth of neo-capillaries that eventually will nourish the graft and bring it in a homeostatic equil... περισσότερα »
