Midface reconstruction with various flaps based on the angular artery.

30 May 2009 PURPOSE: Although several methods can be used to perform midface reconstruction, difficulties exist in selecting the appropriate method because of anatomic and functional complexities, donor site morbidities, and poor esthetic results. The purpose ... Read more...

Real-time analysis of the kinetics of angiogenesis and vascular permeability in an animal model of wound healing.

4 May 2009 The use of engineered tissue for the treatment of a variety of acute to chronic wounds has become a clinical standard, and a better understanding of the cellular mechanisms of re-vascularization and barrier integrity could enhance clinical outcomes. ... Read more...

The effect of botulinum toxin A on skin flap survival in rats.

29 Apr 2009 This study examines the role of botulinum toxin type A (BoTA) in preventing the collapse of the peripheral vessels in the cutaneous flap and in increasing the survival of the flap. Because BoTA cleaves the SNAP-25 protein, the release of ... Read more...
