A multicentre study of the relationship between abdominal flap and mastectomy weights in immediate unilateral free flap breast reconstruction and the effect of adjuvant radiotherapy.
Abdominal free flaps are considered the gold standard for post-mastectomy autologous breast reconstruction. A key element of outcome assessment is breast symmetry often achieved by approximating the reconstructed breast dimensions such as w…

The role of sphingosine-1-phosphate signaling in HSV-1-infected human umbilical vein endothelial cells.
Infections with the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) are common and widespread. Most infections remain undetected but severe forms may develop in newborns and in immunocompromised patients. Moreover, HSV-1 might be involved in the pathog…

Intracortical Circuits in the Contralesional Primary Motor Cortex in Patients With Chronic Stroke After Botulinum Toxin Type A Injection: Case Studies.
Spasticity and motor recovery are both related to neural plasticity after stroke. A balance of activity in the primary motor cortex (M1) in both hemispheres is essential for functional recovery. In this study, we assessed the intracortical …

Idiopathic gigantomastia with Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia: A case report.
[BACKGROUND] Gigantomastia is a rare condition characterized by excessive diffuse enlargement of both breasts and can be physically and psychosocially disabling for the patient. Despite an extensive search, the etiology remains poorly under…

Multidimensional evaluation of changes in limb function following botulinum toxin injection in persons with stroke.
[BACKGROUND] There are limited evidence of instrumented measures of gait and balance to determine the functional effects of botulinum toxin injections (BoNT-A) in spasticity after stroke. [OBJECTIVE] To evaluate the functional changes in g…

Beyond speed: Gait changes after botulinum toxin injections in chronic stroke survivors (a systematic review).
[BACKGROUND] The mechanisms by which spasticity reductions after botulinum toxin A (BoNT) affect gait in stroke are not well understood. We systematically reviewed the effects of BoNT on spatiotemporal, kinematic, kinetic and electromyograp…

Symptomatic treatments for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/motor neuron disease.
[BACKGROUND] Motor neuron disease (MND), which is also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), causes a wide range of symptoms but the evidence base for the effectiveness of the symptomatic treatment therapies is limited. [OBJECTIVES…

More than a black box of rehabilitation: Characterizing therapy programmes following botulinum toxin injections for spasticity in adults with stroke.
[OBJECTIVES] To describe ambulatory rehabilitation programmes (physical and occupational therapy activities and interventions) following botulinum toxin injections for post-stroke spasticity using a stroke rehabilitation taxonomy. To explor…

Hyaluronic acid filler for a depressed scar.
The use of filler for depressed scars has been documented but is rare in the literature. We present a case of a patient treated with hyaluronic acid fillers at the site of a long-standing depressed scar.…

A large encapsulated seroma presenting as a mass 5 years post paraumbilical hernia repair.
Abdominoplasty is a procedure commonly performed by the modern reconstructive plastic surgeon, but despite its apparent routine nature complications are well documented in the literature and should be respected by even the most experienced …

Polaroid photographic referral for skin cancer--a potentially useful method of reducing time to surgery.
A prospective trial was conducted on twenty-five patients referred by dermatologists during 1998 using a referral letter and an accompanying polaroid photograph for prospective plastic surgical management of skin cancers. Using the descript…
