Total Surface Area of a Through-and-Through Oromandibular Defect Is Associated With Thromboembolic Events for Reconstruction With a Single Fibula Free Flap.
[BACKGROUND] Reconstruction of through-and-through composite oromandibular defects (COMDs) has been a challenge to plastic surgeons for decades. When using a free osteoseptocutaneous fibular flap, the skin paddle is restricted by the orient…

Postoperative recovery among head and neck cancer patients receiving microvascular free flap surgery with implementing nurse-protocolized targeted sedation: relationship of use of sedatives and mechanical ventilation to length of ICU stay.
[PURPOSE] Patients receiving microvascular free flap surgery are usually admitted to a high-dependency adult intensive care unit (ICU). Research is limited to investigate postoperative recovery among head and neck cancer patients in the ICU…

Biological Properties and Therapeutic Value of Cryopreserved Fat Tissue.
[BACKGROUND] Fat grafting frequently requires multiple treatments and thus repeated liposuction to achieve treatment goals. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether cryopreservation of adipose tissue may facilitate future fat graft…

Effects of Botulinum Toxin Landmark-Guided Intra-articular Injection in Subjects With Knee Osteoarthritis.
[BACKGROUND] Increasing evidence has suggested that botulinum toxin A (BoNT/A) can inhibit the release of selected neuropeptide transmitters from primary sensory neurons. Thus, intra-articular (IA) injection therapies with BoNT/A may reduce…
