Background: The aim of this study was to assess the factors associated with primary and secondary amputation in patients with limb-threatening trauma to the upper extremity, describe the incidence of these injuries, and describe the procedures involved in the treatment of these difficult injuries. Methods: A retrospective study of 49 cases (in 47 patients) with acute limb-threatening trauma of the upper extremity proximal to the carpometacarpal joint level treated with either amputation or...

Background: Nasoorbitoethmoid fractures commonly accompany midface fractures and may be underdiagnosed, resulting in incomplete reconstruction or inadequate treatment following facial trauma. To better understand the nasoorbitoethmoid fracture diagnosis and treatment tendencies, the authors analyzed concomitant nasoorbitoethmoid injuries in the setting of zygoma fractures. Methods: The facial trauma database at a level I trauma center was evaluated. All patients with diagnosed zygoma fractures...

Background: Dermoid cysts are benign lesions lined by keratinizing squamous epithelium that also contain epidermal adnexa (hair follicles, hair shafts, sebaceous glands, and both apocrine and eccrine sweat glands) and mesodermal derivatives (smooth muscle fibers, vascular stroma, nerves, and collagen fibers). Craniofacial dermoid cysts represent approximately 7 percent of all dermoids and have an incidence ranging between 0.03 and 0.14 percent. Methods: The authors conducted a single-center,...

Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the incidence, cause, characteristics, presentation, and management of pediatric frontal bone fractures. Methods: A retrospective cohort review was performed on all patients younger than 15 years with frontal fractures that presented to a single institution from 1998 to 2010. Charts and computed tomographic images were reviewed, and frontal bone fractures were classified into three types based on anatomical fracture characteristics. Fracture...

Background: Apert syndrome causes normal or enlarged intracranial volume overall as patients grow. This study aimed to trace the segmental anterior, middle, and posterior cranial fossae volume and structural morphology in these patients, to help discern a more focused and individualized surgical treatment plan for patients with Apert syndrome. Methods: This study included 82 preoperative computed tomographic scans (Apert, n = 32; control, n = 50) divided into five age-related subgroups. The...

Background: Monobloc advancement is a complex procedure used to treat patients with syndromic craniosynostosis. Studies directly addressing the long-term stability of monobloc advancement with distraction osteogenesis are underreported in the literature. The objectives of this study were to assess 5-year midface bone stability following monobloc advancement performed on patients with syndromic craniosynostosis, identify risk factors for relapse, and present strategies for prevention and management...

Background: A recent artificial intelligence–based investigation has shown the impacts of orthognathic surgery on the patient’s facial appearance and apparent age. However, appearance and age perception as reported by patients and surgical professionals have not been addressed in the same cohort to date. Methods: FACE-Q facial appraisal (appearance and age) and quality-of-life scale scores obtained before and after orthognathic surgery, in addition to three-dimensional photographs of 70 patients...

Background: Macroglossia, a cardinal feature of the (epi)genetic disorder Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, is associated with obstructive sleep apnea, speech and/or feeding difficulties, and dental or jaw malalignment. These sequelae may be treated and/or prevented with tongue reduction surgery; the authors sought to determine whether certain Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome patients may benefit from early surgical intervention before age 12 months. Methods: The authors conducted a retrospective review...

Background: The authors conducted this study to assess the impact that Drs. Joseph Gruss and Paul Manson have had on craniofacial surgery through their individual contributions and through their trainees. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of fellows trained by either Dr. Gruss or Dr. Manson. Demographic and bibliometric measures were recorded for each fellow. Demographic factors included years since completion of fellowship training, current practice of craniomaxillofacial surgery,...

Background: Conventional reconstructive options for large full-thickness eyelid defects are limited to static local flaps without replacing the missing orbicularis. The authors’ aim is to delineate the platysma neurovascular anatomy for innervated functional eyelid reconstruction. Methods: Fourteen fresh latex-injected heminecks were dissected. The locations where neurovascular structures entered the platysma muscles were expressed as the percentage distance ± SD from the sternocleidomastoid...

Summary: During the past 10 years, academic publications that address facial feminization surgery have largely examined the technical aspects of the different surgical procedures involved and clinical evaluations of postoperative results. This Special Topic article focuses on aspects that are underdeveloped to date but useful with regard to taking the correct therapeutic approach to transgender patients who are candidates for facial gender confirmation surgery. The authors propose a protocolized...

Abstract Purpose Doxorubicin (Dox) being a hydrophobic drug needs a unique carrier for the effective encapsulation with uniformity in the aqueous dispersion, cell culture media and the biological-fluids that may efficiently target its release at the tumor site. Methods Circular DNA-nanotechnology was employed to synthesize DNA Nano-threads (DNA-NTs)...

Abstract Purpose Rubber stoppers that seal the primary packaging systems of parenteral pharmaceutical products have the potential to introduce impurities into the drug during storage. While this interaction has been well characterized for products stored as an aqueous liquid, it is not well understood how the interaction is affected when the product is stored as a lyophilized solid. Accordingly, the goal of this study was to determine...

Abstract We sought to determine whether repeated vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) adaptation training to increase the VOR gain (eye/head velocity) had a lasting effect in normal subjects and whether there was a retinal image slip tolerance threshold for VOR adaptation. We used the unilateral incremental VOR adaptation technique and horizontal active (self-generated, predictable) head impulses as the vestibular stimulus. Both active and passive (imposed, unpredictable) head impulse...

Abstract Objective To review the current body of evidence surrounding non-imaging biomarkers in patients with known or suspected prostate cancer. Results Several non-imaging biomarkers have been developed and are available that aim to improve risk estimates at several clinical junctures. For patients with suspicion of prostate cancer who are considering first-time...
