UPDATES ON CARDIOPULMONARY REANIMATION

Facial reanimation procedures depicted on radiologic imaging.

Various facial reanimation procedures can be performed for treating patients with chronic facial nerve paralysis. The radiologic imaging features of static and dynamic techniques are reviewed in this article with clinical correlation, including brow lift, eyelid weights and springs, gracilis free flaps, fascia lata grafts, temporalis flaps, and Gore-Tex suspension slings. Although the anatomic ...

Facial Reanimation Surgery

Facial nerve disorders encompass a broad spectrum of dysfunction, ranging from subtle dynamic facial asymmetry to complete, dense paralysis. Facial nerve regeneration following injury can vary greatly and may result in hypofunction (persistent weakness or poor excursion of facial muscles), hyperfunction (hypertonicity, spasm), or aberrant regeneration (synkinesis). The impact of a facial nerve ...

Updates on Antibiotic Therapy

ANTIBIOTICS Fluoroquinolones The fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics work via inhibition of DNA gyrase (topoisomerase II). Resistance is mediated through chromosomal mutations in DNA gyrase which confers cross-resistance to other FQs. FQs distribute well to tissues and intracellularly. Elimination is via the kidney, and these drugs are often highly effective for treating resistant UTIs. The sp...
