Arthroscopic soft tissue tenodesis versus bony fixation anchor tenodesis of the long head of the biceps tendon.Scheibel M, Schröder RJ, Chen J, Bartsch M Markus Scheibel, Center for Musculoskeletal Surgery, Campus Virchow, Charité-Universitaetsmedizin Berlin, Augustenburger Platz 1, 13353 Berlin. Germany. markus.scheibel@charite.de. Published 9 May 2011 in Am J Sports Med, 39(5): 1046-52. Articles on Cosmetic Surgery published 9 May 2011: Is prophylactic acyclovir treatment warranted for prevention of herpes simplex virus infections in facial burns? A review of the literature. J Burn Care Res, 32(3): 358-62. Both cosmetic facial resurfacing and facial burns cause an injury to the dermal layer of the skin. This injury renders the patient susceptible to primary herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection or, more commonly, to HSV reactivation. This in turn can lead to bacterial superinfection, possibly resulting in scarring and systemic dissemination in the immunosuppressed burn patient. HSV reactivation rates have been reported to be up to 50% in cosmetic procedures without acyclovir prophylaxis and up to ... [Abstract] [Full-text] The ti-epiplating system as an alternative for ear prostheses in burned patients. J Burn Care Res, 32(3): e101-7. Burned ear reconstruction remains one of the most difficult areas of plastic surgery, and the aesthetic results are not always acceptable. In this study, the authors describe the results of the prosthetic rehabilitation of patients needing burned ear total reconstruction with a plate-like system (Titanium Epiplating System, Medicon, Tuttlingen, Germany) treated in their hospital between 2006 and 2009. The goals of this study were to report on the use of bone anchor implants with a plate-like ... [Abstract] [Full-text] OBJECTIVE: To report a novel surgical approach for single-stage repair of exstrophy-epispadias, with the specific aim of innervation, preserving sphincteroplasty corporal detachment for penile lengthening and ischio-pubic ramotomy for Linia-alba approximation. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twenty-five classic exstrophy with compliant bladder plate and 10 incontinent epispadias patients were selected. Preoperative magnetic resonance angiogram of urogenital diaphragm showed triangular space between ... [Abstract] [Full-text] Long term outcome following interstitial laser photocoagulation of benign cold thyroid nodules. Eur J Endocrinol. Aim: To evaluate the long-term efficacy of interstitial laser photocoagulation (ILP) in solitary benign thyroid nodules. Design and methods: Seventy-eight euthyroid outpatients (45 participating in randomized trials) with a benign solitary solid and scintigraphically cold thyroid nodule causing local discomfort were assigned to ILP. ILP (using one laser fibre) was performed under continuous ultrasound (US)-guidance, and with an output power of 1.5 -3.5 W. Thyroid nodule volume was assessed by ... [Abstract] [Full-text] Social media in plastic surgery practices: emerging trends in north america. Aesthet Surg J, 31(4): 435-41. Background: Social media is a common term for web-based applications that offer a way to disseminate information to a targeted audience in real time. In the current market, many businesses are utilizing it to communicate with clients. Although the field of plastic surgery is constantly changing in response to innovative technologies introduced into the specialty, the utilization of social media in plastic surgery practices is currently unclear. Objectives: The authors evaluate the current ... [Abstract] [Full-text] Cosmetic surgery training in plastic surgery residency programs in the United States: how have we progressed in the last three years? Aesthet Surg J, 31(4): 445-55. Background: In 2006, a survey performed by Morrison et al analyzed the experience of aesthetic surgery training from the perspective of residents and their program directors in plastic surgery programs across the United States. Objectives: The authors conducted a survey to follow-up on the Morrison results three years after publication, to assess the changes in plastic surgery residency programs. Methods: In December 2009, a 17-question survey was sent to program directors, and a 19-question ... [Abstract] [Full-text] Dissection of both frontal and parietal branches of the superficial temporal artery for bypass surgery through a single linear skin incision. Acta Neurochir (Wien). BACKGROUND: Double superficial temporal artery (STA) to middle cerebral artery (MCA) bypass surgery has typically involved more than one linear incision. In this report, we demonstrate how the procedure can be performed through a single linear skin incision over the parietal branch of the STA. METHODS: Initial dissection of the parietal branch and creation of a subcutaneous cavity along the frontal branch were performed using the conventional microscopic method. Detailed additional dissection ... [Abstract] [Full-text] Articles on Cosmetic Surgery published 6 May 2011: Aging has less effect on adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) than on bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), but whether the fact holds true in stem cells from elderly patients with osteoporotic fractures is unknown. In this study, ADSCs and BMSCs of the same donor were harvested and divided into two age groups. Group A consisted of 14 young patients (36.4 ± 11.8 years old), and group B consisted of 8 elderly patients (71.4 ± 3.6 years old) with osteoporotic fractures. ...
