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.

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...

“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.

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...

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

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...

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.

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...

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.

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.
