Breast reconstruction with absorbable mesh sling: dynamic infrared thermography of skin envelope

Dynamic infrared thermography for the preoperative planning of microsurgical breast reconstruction: a comparison with CTA.

Skin temperature response to unilateral training measured with infrared thermography

This study aimed to identify the skin temperature (Tsk) behavior to understand the acute cross-effect after unilateral training of lower-limbs. Seventeen healthy young men (weight, 75.2±5.5 kg; height, 1.8±0.1 m; age, 22.5±1.6 years) were divided into two groups: high-trained (n=8) and low-trained (n=9). All participants performed: (a) one-repetition maximum (1RM) testing protocol on the leg pr...

Evaluation of dynamic infrared thermography as an alternative to CT angiography for perforator mapping in breast reconstruction: a clinical study

BACKGROUND The current gold standard for preoperative perforator mapping in breast reconstruction with a DIEP flap is CT angiography (CTA). Dynamic infrared thermography (DIRT) is an imaging method that does not require ionizing radiation or contrast injection. We evaluated if DIRT could be an alternative to CTA in perforator mapping. METHODS Twenty-five patients scheduled for secondary breas...

Abstract: Effect of Absorbable Skin Stapler in Autologous Breast Reconstruction Patients: Approach Through Economic and Cosmesis

ConClusions: There is a discrepancy between emergency and elective hand care in New Jersey. Similar findings across Florida, Massachusetts, upstate New York, and Tennessee suggest a concerning trend of gaps in access to hand healthcare. As disproportionate availability between emergency and elective care lead to suboptimal patient care and unnecessary transfers, a nationwide system that can app...

Absorbable mesh sling prevents radiation-induced bowel injury during "sandwich" chemoradiation for rectal cancer.

HYPOTHESIS Absorbable mesh slings can prevent radiation-induced bowel injury when adjuvant pelvic radiotherapy is given in the early postoperative period. We hypothesized that the mesh sling technique is similarly effective during "sandwich" sequence adjuvant chemoradiation. DESIGN Retrospective review. SETTING Tertiary care comprehensive cancer center. PATIENTS Nonrandomized series of 19...
