Severe cutaneous adverse drug reaction (SCAR) is considered to be a multifactorial drug side effect. This study was designed to investigate the epidemiology and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A and -B gene polymorphisms in pediatric patients with SCAR admitted in tertiary referral center, southwestern of Iran from 2013 to 2017. Demographic data, past allergy and autoimmune history, clinical pres...

Despite the advancement in technology, historic cut-offs of <0.5mV for dense scar and 0.5-1.5mV borderzone continue to be used contemporary electrophysiology. Modern multipolar mapping catheters employ smaller electrodes interelectrode spacing that theoretically allows with increased resolution reduced far-field electrogram (EGM) component. We aimed assess optimal voltage ventricular substrate ...

BACKGROUND There have been numerous studies on reduction mammaplasty and its modifications in the literature. The multitude of modifications of reduction mammaplasty indicates that the ideal technique has yet to be found. There are four reasons for seeking the ideal technique. One reason is to preserve functional features of the breast: breastfeeding and arousal. Other reasons are to achieve th...

Burn care has an important role in the history of Plastic Surgery; requirements of burn and scar treatment have formed the basis of the development of most of the techniques that constitute Plastic Surgery core knowledge. While deeper understanding of burns physiology helped greatly to reduce mortality and improve outcomes in the acute burn phase, scar revision and postoperative management are ...

Purpose. To evaluate the effect of en bloc lateral wall decompression with additional orbital fat resection in terms of exophthalmos reduction and complications. Methods. A retrospective, noncomparative case series study from 1999 to 2011 (chart review) in Graves' orbitopathy (GO) patients. The standardized surgical technique involved removal of the lateral orbital wall including the orbital ri...

Background. Since it was described by Nassif et al. in 1982, the parascapular flap has been used as a pedicled or island flap for axillary contractures and as a free flap for neck reconstruction. To the best of our knowledge, there are no reports in English describing its use as an island flap for neck reconstruction. Methods. Nine patients with severe post-burn neck contracture scars were reco...

OBJECTIVE To assess the feasibility and outcome of free cartilage grafts left to heal by secondary intention in the reconstruction of nasal alar skin defects. DESIGN We describe the retrospective analysis of 13 patients who were treated in a single department with the use of free cartilage grafts in combination with secondary intention healing for reconstruction of the alar subunit and latera...

Background Complete dislocation of the distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) is a rare injury. Dislocation can present as uni- or multidirectional, acute or chronic, reducible or irreducible. It can occur due to isolated loss of ligamentous restraints or more frequent in Galeazzi - or Essex-Lopresti-type fractures. Case Description A 28-year-old man sustained a distal radius fracture and presented aft...
