Flatness of musculoskeletal systems under functional electrical stimulation
Abstract Control of musculoskeletal yy system through functional electrical stimulation (FES) still remains a complex and a challenging process. Indeed, the used musculoskeletal models are often complex and highly nonlinear, which makes their control and inversion (getting appropriate inputs from a desired outputs) very difficult. On the other hand, the system flatness has been proved to be an efficient method for nonlinear system control, since in this technique, the nonlinear...

Letter comments on “Infraorbital groove correction by microfat injection after lower blepharoplasty.”
As the author mentioned in this publication, the correction of infra-orbital groove by microfat injection did increase the postoperative satisfaction of lower blepharoplasty surgery1. In this study, we want to explore whether this procedure can replace the previous fat pad transposition. Months after the microfat injection, we have observed that fat continues to be present but its volume gradually disappears, and, with some, it totally vanishes. With fat pad transposition, the fat volume does not...

Freestyle Superficial Femoral Artery perforator (SFAp) free flap combined with a free periosteal medial condyle flap in Gustillo IIb fracture: overkill or ideal treatment?
we find the paper published by Ziegler et al in 2018,1 regarding the anatomical relevance of the descending genicular articular artery (DGA), of great interest. Indeed, reports of the medial thigh as a flap donor site have increased in recent years . Supplied by the DGA, the free medial condyle (FMC) flap can provide vascularised bone and periosteum, and can be raised with a chimeric skin paddle.2 Lately, the superficial femoral artery (SFA) has been demonstrated as an innovative source of reliable...

Recell in post-traumatic cases: preliminary results
The generalization of skin grafting in clinical practice has improved the management of patients who experience trauma resulting in significant tissue loss. Skin grafting is currently considered the gold standard in the management of these cases.1 However, there are limits to this technique, particularly in cases of severe trauma. The amount of skin that can be harvested is limited, and a previously healthy body part is damaged in the process. In addition, grafting is a painful post-operative procedure,...

Thumb carpometacarpal joint osteoarthritis- is there a role for denervation? A systematic review.
Thumb carpometacarpal osteoarthritis (CMCJ OA) is a common problem. Joint denervation presents a number of theoretical advantages over more traditional surgical options; it is minimally invasive, it does not require a prosthesis or postoperative immobilisation, and does not preclude future surgery. It can be of particular benefit in patients who require good range of motion which other forms of surgery may compromise. Despite these potential advantages, selective denervation of the thumb CMCJ is...

Sequencing in management of in-transit melanoma metastasis: Diphencyprone versus isolate limb infusion
: In-transit metastases (ITMs) in melanoma are associated with poor prognosis, however a significant proportion of these patients survive for extended periods without further disease progression. We routinely use locoregional treatment e.g. Diphencyprone (DPCP) and/or isolated limb infusion (ILI) as long-term palliation. This study aimed to identify correct sequencing of these therapies based on disease burden and progression.

Deferoxamine enhance the regenerative potential of diabetic Adipose Derived Stem Cells
Diabetes mellitus remains a significant public health problem, consuming over $400 billion every year. While Diabetes itself can be controlled effectively, impaired wound healing still occurs frequently in diabetic patients. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASC) provide an especially appealing source for diabetic wound cell therapy. With autologous approaches, functionality of ASCs largely underlie patient dependent factors. Diabetes is a significant diminishing factor of MSC functionality.

Lower donor site morbidity and higher patient satisfaction with epidermal grafting in comparison to split thickness skin grafting: A randomized controlled trial (EPIGRAAFT Trial)
Split thickness skin grafting (SSG) is an important modality for wound coverage, however it leads to donor site morbidity. Epidermal grafting (EG) is a promising option for autologous skin grafting which offers minimal donor site morbidity, though it is not known if EG is an effective clinical alternative for SSG. This study compared the efficacy of EG as an alternative to SSG in terms of wound healing outcomes, donor site morbidity, patient satisfaction and adverse events.

The Experience of Being Oneself in Memory: Exploring Sense of Identity via Observer Memory
Abstract Every episodic memory entails a sense of identity, which allows us to mentally travel through time. There is a special way by which the subject who is remembering comes into contact with the self that is embedded in the episodic simulation of memory: we can directly and robustly experience the protagonist in memory as ourselves. This paper explores what constitutes such experience in memory. On the face of it, the issue may seem trivial: of course, we are able to entertain...
