Increased risk for stroke in burn patients: A population-based one-year follow-up study
Abstract: Introduction: The study aimed to explore the frequency and risk of stroke following hospitalization for burn through the analysis of a population-based dataset in Taiwan.Methods: We identified 692 hospitalized subjects who had received a diagnosis of burn. We randomly selected 2768 comparison subjects to match the study subjects by sex and age group. We individually tracked each subject for one year identifying all those who received a diagnosis of stroke during that period. Cox proportional hazards regressions were performed to calculate the longitudinal hazard of stroke between the two cohorts.Results: We found...

Stroke after burn: Population data analysis
This study uses data obtained from the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2005 (LHID2005). The study cohort consisted of all patients who had diagnoses of burn recorded in the database (ICD-9-CM codes 948) between January 1 2004 and December 31 2008 (N=1549).Main findings: The patients with burn and the comparison cohort are 7410 patients, 146 experienced stroke during the follow-up period of up to 5 years. In average, the burn patients suffered from stroke by 1.48 years after burn. The hazard ratio of stroke was 1.74 (95% CI, 1.15–2.63) for patients with TBSA burn

Stroke Due to Orthognathic Surgery: Case Report of a Rare Complication
Summary: Le Fort I osteotomy is a frequent surgical procedure used in orthognathic surgeries to treat severe malocclusions and is associated with relatively rare surgical complications. Here, the authors report a case of thrombotic ischemic stroke as a result of this procedure, a complication still not described in the literature. A 19-year-old man with class II malocclusion and retrognathia underwent orthognathic surgery for aesthetic purposes. The surgery included a Le Fort I maxillary osteotomy with vertical impaction, bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy for mandibular advancement, and genioplasty. Postoperativ...

Evaluation of arterial waveform derived variables for an assessment of volume resuscitation in mechanically ventilated burn patients
Conclusion: Our results suggest that measurement of stroke volume variations by arterial pulse contour analysis is valuable in monitoring volume administration and in predicting volume responsiveness during the early postburn period.

Surface Electromyography-Driven Therapeutic Gaming for Rehabilitation of Upper Extremity Weakness: A Pilot Study
Summary: In patients with severe upper extremity weakness that may result from peripheral nerve injuries, stroke, and spinal cord injuries, standard therapy in the earliest stages of recovery consists primarily of passive rather than active exercises. Adherence to prescribed therapy may be poor, which may contribute to suboptimal functional outcomes. The authors have developed and integrated a custom surface electromyography device with a video game to create an interactive, biofeedback-based therapeutic gaming platform. Sensitivity of the authors’ custom surface electromyography device was evaluated with simultaneou...

Arterial Embolism After Facial Fat Grafting: A Systematic Literature Review
ConclusionsAE causes severe complications such as blindness, stroke, and death. Due to a lack of high-quality data, no evidence-based treatment algorithms exist. To increase patient safety, a database collecting cases and complications should be established.Level of Evidence IIIThis journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Moderate systemic hypothermia decreases burn depth progression
Conclusions: Systemic hypothermia decreases burn depth progression in a rodent model and up-regulation of skin-protective genes and down-regulation of detrimental tissue remodeling genes by hypothermia may contribute to its beneficial effects.

Range of motion exercises in the setting of burn-associated heterotopic ossification at the elbow: case series and discussion
Heterotopic ossification (HO), the extra-articular formation of mature, lamellar bone in connective tissue, can present as a complication for a wide-ranging set of conditions including fracture, neurological injury (traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and stroke), orthopedic surgery, and burn . In the setting of burn, HO most frequently occurs at the elbow. While the overall reported incidence is low at 0.1–3.3%, the incidence has been reported to rise as high as 35% when the total body surface area (TBSA) of the burn reaches 25%. When present, HO can produce significant pain, loss of range of motion (ROM) and fu...

Conservative treatment in Jersey finger: A case report
We report a case of a Type Vb flexor digitorum profundus tendon avulsion in a patient for whom surgery was contraindicated because of a high risk of stroke if anticoagulant treatment was to be stopped. After a 6-week conservative treatment and a 3-week self-physiotherapy programme, the patient achieved a nearly full active range of motion and an excellent functional result. A radiograph demonstrated a good fracture healing.Level of evidence: V.

Indications and Outcomes of Prophylactic and Therapeutic Extracranial-to-intracranial Arterial Bypass for Cerebral Revascularization
Background: Extracranial-to-intracranial (EC-IC) arterial bypass is a technically demanding procedure used to treat complex cerebral artery diseases. The indications, proper surgical techniques, and outcomes of this procedure have been under debate over the recent decades. Methods: Between January 2004 and December 2012, 28 patients, including patients with cerebral artery occlusion, intracranial aneurysm, cranial base tumor, and Moyamoya disease, underwent EC-IC bypass. Patients’ records were retrospectively reviewed for demography, indications, complications, high-flow versus low-flow bypass, patency rate of bypass, an...

“Walk the Rim, Feel the Bone” Technique in Superior Sulcus Filling
This study describes an injection technique that minimizes the risk of blindness and includes a case study demonstrating the cosmetic benefits of this procedure. To avoid retrograde injection of filler embolus into the ophthalmic artery, we advocate a “‘walk the rim, feel the bone” approach. Small boluses of hyaluronic acid filler are given in preperiosteal plane, avoiding the superior orbital foramen.

Novel Oral Anticoagulants in Plastic Surgery
Novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) have emerged as a good alternative to warfarin in the prevention of stroke for patients with atrial fibrillation. NOAC use is increasing rapidly therefore greater understanding of their use in the perioperative period is important for optimal care.Studies and reviews that reported on the use of NOACs were identified, with particular focus on the perioperative period. PubMed was searched for relevant articles published between January 2000 and August 2015.The inevitable rise in use of NOACs such as rivaroxaban (XareltoTM), apixaban (EliquisTM), edoxaban (LixianaTM) and dabigatran (PradaxaTM...

Adipofascial Extension of the Propeller Perforator flap: achieve two things at one stroke
Perforator-Pedicled Propeller(PPP) Flap has been widely accepted for reconstruction of soft tissue defects as it requires a simple operative technique and has a consistent vascular pedicle1. However, according to a systematic review and meta-analysis2, the donor site was only self-closing in 69.7 percent (154 of 221), and covered by a skin graft in 30.3 percent of the cases (67 of 221). Besides, for patients with dead space infection of the defects, the regular PPP flap is difficult to achieve satisfactory results.

Burn mortality in patients with preexisting cardiovascular disease
Cardiovascular disease (CVDs) is the leading cause of death and major cause of disability worldwide [1,2]. An estimated 17.5 million people died from CVDs in 2012, representing 31% of all global deaths. Of these deaths, an estimated 7.4 million were due to coronary heart disease and 6.7 million were due to stroke. CVDs are a group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels and include coronary heart disease with or without heart failure, dysrhythmias, cardiomyopathy; cerebrovascular disease including aneurysmal diseases; peripheral arterial disease; rheumatic heart disease – damage to the heart muscle and heart valves; ...
