7%).Outcome and salvage rate were better in the 2-vein group as compared with the 1-vein group (64% vs 50%). CONCLUSION There is no difference in flap survival in single or dual venous anastomosis, but we have noticed higher reexploration rates in the 2-vein group. However, outcome is better in the 2-vein group.Auricular cartilage reconstruction…[Read more]

The WAP is a simple and well-received tool that meets the knowledge and education needs about warfarin therapy for older people and their carers.

Laser-microtextured surfaces have gained an increasing interest due to their enormous spectrum of applications and industrial scalability. Direct laser interference patterning (DLIP) and the well-established direct laser writing (DLW) methods are suitable as a powerful combination for the fabrication of single (DLW or DLIP) and multi-scale…[Read more]

75-0.75-0.85, PPV 0.83-0.75-0.66, NPV 0.75-0.6-1. Overall accuracy was 0.78. Size of missed cholesteatoma was 2-4 mm (mean 2.66±1.15).

Various materials are suitable for ossicular chain reconstruction. The poor detectability of residual or recurrent cholesteatoma in the middle ears reconstructed with autologous bony prosthesis may still…[Read more]

The appointed fellow is expected to be involved in at least 90 microsurgical cases, plus a reasonable number of complex nonfree flap reconstructions. An overview of this hands-on microsurgery fellowship is hereby presented based on the experience of 2 recent fellows.

The reconstruction of the hand and forearm targets the restoration of their…[Read more]

A cost-effective and compact hydrogen storage system could advance fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). Today’s commercial FCEVs incorporate storage that is projected to be heavier, larger, and costlier than targets set by the U.S. Driving Research and Innovation for Vehicle efficiency and Energy sustainability Partnership (U.S. DRIVE). To inform…[Read more]
