As a contribution to deterministic investigations into extreme fluid surface waves, in this paper wave profiles of prescribed period that have maximal crest height will be investigated. As constraints the values of the momentum and energy integrals are used in a simplified description with the KdV model. The result is that at the boundary of the feasible region in the momentum-energy plane, the...

Using snakes to extract buildings from satellite imagery such as IKONOS and Quickbird is an active activity in remote sensing society. Building extraction from satellite imagery has more than 20 years of history but the automated extractions are still undergoing developmental stages due to increasing image variation, required level of details and higher resolution imagery are acquired. This pap...

T ueday, M arch 8, 2017 Fasciocutaneous flaps were favored for foot wounds (p<0.01), whereas muscle flaps were favored for tibial wounds (p<0.01), Gustilo grade IIIb injuries (p<0.01), and wounds with exposed hardware/bone/tendon (p=0.03). Intraoperatively, fasciocutaneous flaps were associated with lower estimated blood loss (p<0.01). Increasing 17-year trends were noted in the use of fasciocu...

Oroantral communication is a pathological communication between the oral and antral cavities. When oroantral communication is left open, epithelial tissue may develop namely oroantral fistula. The primary purpose is to close the communication and prevent sinusitis. OAF closures can be achieved using different flaps. The most widely employed flaps are vestibular flap, palatal flap and buccal fat...

INTRODUCTION: In reconstruction of upper extremity defects there are many options like local, free, island and perforator flaps. Reconstruction with perforator flaps is new trend in plastic surgery.1 Because of good vascularity, upper extremity is one of the most suitable part of the body for designing well known and also ad hoc perforator flaps. In this study we aimed to compare of reconstruct...

The defects of mucosal surfaces of the face, either congenital, traumatic, or postoperative, have been prominent subjects of plastic surgery. Local skin flaps and free flaps have been used to repair these defects. Because the face is the most vascularized portion of the body, skin flaps in this area have a great chance for viability. Buccal mucosa also shares the same feature of vascularity and...

Extensive defects of the scalp and forehead associated with calvarial bone resections demand complex reconstructions. Free flaps offer vascularized tissue of excellent quality and quantity. We report six patients with extensive scalp and forehead defects associated with calvarial bone resections reconstructed with free flaps. Five patients also required a cranioplasty. The flaps used were two a...

BACKGROUND Post-burn contractures severely deteriorate life quality. We aimed to present our treatment protocols for post-burn sequelae and the contractures that cause functional limitations. METHODS Seventy-seven cases with post-burn contracture were treated in our clinic. Post-burn contractures occurring after a burn injury affected the upper extremity, face and neck in 60, 17 and 6 cases, ...

BACKGROUND Vermilion irregularities are common secondary deformities after cleft lip repair, regressed or resected hemangiomas, trauma and tumor surgeries. Vermilion deficiency attracts considerable attention and detracts from an otherwise excellent lip repair. Minor and moderate vermilion defects can be corrected with upper lip advancement, rotation flaps, tongue flaps or grafts. Major defects...
