Scar Revision: Analysis of Post-Scar Revision Satisfaction and Parameters Decisive for Patients’ Satisfaction

A Review of Scar Scales and Scar Measuring Devices

OBJECTIVE Pathologic scarring affects millions of people worldwide. Quantitative and qualitative measurement modalities are needed to effectively evaluate and monitor treatments. METHODS This article reviews the literature on available tools and existent assessment scales used to subjectively and objectively characterize scar. RESULTS We describe the attributes and deficiencies of each tool...

Transmural "Scar-to-Scar" Reentrant Ventricular Tachycardia

We describe a scar-related reentrant ventricular tachycardia circuit with a proximal segment in an endocardial basal septal scar and an exit in a region of slow conduction in a non-overlapping region of epicardial basal lateral scar. The 12-lead EKG demonstrates criteria for a basal lateral epicardial VT, however the same morphology could be produced with a longer stim-latency with pace mapping...

Scar revision and camouflage.

The successful revision and camouflage of facial scars is as much an art as a science, and the best teacher is continued experience; however, common sense, a broad knowledge of available options, technical ability, and patience are all necessary if one chooses to practice in this challenging field. Patients with facial scars are vulnerable in a way that few others are, and it is the responsibil...

Scar/wave

The SCAR/WAVE complex drives the actin polymerisation that underlies protrusion of the front of the cell and thus drives migration. However, it is not understood how the activity of SCAR/WAVE is regulated to generate the infinite range of cellular shape changes observed during cell motility. What are the relative roles of the subunits of the SCAR/WAVE complex? What signaling molecules do they i...
