Drain-free abdominoplasty using progressive tension sutures (PTS) was initially described in 2000 in a small retrospective series. However, the authors' experience with this technique spans well over 3 decades, and their technique has evolved to simplify the procedure to make it easier and more reproducible by the surgeon and improve the patient's recovery and overall experience. This article provides in-depth technical details on the authors' no-drain abdominoplasty technique. The authors also address through recent literature some of the commonly stated barriers to surgeons instituting this technique into their abdominoplasty procedure, including excessive time of placement, dimpling, and effectiveness.Lipoabdominoplasty is one of the most frequent abdominal body contouring procedures performed today. It guarantees a safe combination of abdominoplasty and liposuction while minimizing the risk of ischemic flap complications. This is because of the limited undermining performed and the liposuction adjunct, both of which minimize perforator injury. In the last several years, the integration of anatomic definition through the use of liposuction has further refined the procedure, led to improved results, and increased patient satisfaction. The more natural results of the anatomic abdominal definition is a next step in abdominal contour refinement.Meeting growing energy demands sustainably is one of the greatest challenges facing the world. The sun strikes the Earth with sufficient energy in 1.5 h to meet annual world energy demands, likely making solar energy conversion part of future sustainable energy production plans. Photosynthetic organisms have been evolving solar energy utilization strategies for nearly 3.5 billion years, making reaction centers including the remarkably stable Photosystem I (PSI) especially interesting for biophotovoltaic device integration. Although these biohybrid devices have steadily improved, their output remains low compared with traditional photovoltaics. We discuss strategies and methods to improve PSI-based biophotovoltaics, focusing on PSI-surface interaction enhancement, electrolytes, and light-harvesting enhancement capabilities. Desirable features and current drawbacks to PSI-based devices are also discussed.Dysfunction of the facial nerve is frequently attributed to inflammation, followed by traumatic injury. Knowledge of the complex anatomical course of the facial nerve is critical to localize the site of pathology and for successful management. The multiplicity of etiologies and its complex anatomy often make facial paralysis a diagnostic challenge. Neoplasms are a fairly rare cause of peripheral facial palsy, and are frequently overlooked in search of the more frequent traumatic or inflammatory etiologies of facial paralysis. Isolated metastatic lesions to the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) and internal auditory canal (IAC) are extremely rare. Their accurate diagnosis is difficult, since they share common clinical and radiological characteristics with vestibular schwannomas. We report a case of a 63-year-old female with a rapidly progressive left-sided hearing loss and complete facial palsy. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a left intrameatal lesion. A provisional diagnosis of intracanalicular schwannoma or meningioma was made, although the possibility of metastasis due to her rapid neurological deterioration was considered. The patient underwent a translabyrinthine complete removal of the tumor followed by facial nerve reconstruction. The final histopathological findings revealed a metastatic breast adenocarcinoma. To our knowledge only seven prior cases of an isolated metastatic CPA lesion have been reported. In patients without a known malignancy, a rapid progression of hearing loss, disequilibrium, and facial palsy might be the first sign of a metastatic CPA lesion.Fractures in the elderly population are increasing in incidence and represent a rising burden of disease. It is difficult for the elderly population to adhere to restricted weight bearing, and immobility poses significant risks and increased morbidity. Therefore, a primary goal of fracture management in the elderly population is early post-operative weight bearing. This review examines published literature regarding lower extremity fracture management in the elderly, with a focus on post-operative rehabilitation. JNJ-64619178 While extensive literature supports early weight bearing after hip fractures in the elderly, further research is warranted to provide guidelines for management of other lower extremity fractures in this population.Injury of the brachial plexus and peripheral nerve often result in significant upper extremity dysfunction and disability. Nerve transfers are replacing other techniques as the gold standard for brachial plexus and other proximal peripheral nerve injuries. These transfers require an intimate knowledge of nerve topography, a technically demanding Intraneural dissection and require extensive physical therapy for retraining. In this review, we present a summary of the most widely accepted nerve transfers in the upper extremity described in the current literature.Calvarial critical-size defects in rats are used to study regeneration of both craniofacial bone and long-bones. For decades, the trephine technique has been used with no notable refinements in the procedure. The use of piezoelectric surgical equipment has increased in human clinical oral and maxillofacial surgery, neurosurgery, traumatology, and orthopedics, because the devices are easy to handle, and can cut bone without damaging sensitive soft tissues such as blood vessels, nerves, and membranes. This study evaluated and compared the surgical technique and bone regeneration process between a traditional hand-drill trephine and piezoelectric equipment in a critical-size calvaria defect in a rat model. Thirty SD male rats were randomly divided into two groups and had either a 7.9mm diameter circular defect created with trephine or a 7.0mm square defect using the piezoelectric device, both creating 49 mm2 defect areas. MicroCT and histology were performed at 45 and 75d after surgery. While trephine surgeries were performed faster than piezoelectric (25.
