FIGURE ]., Decision tree for management of lower lip defects. "Alternative is Karapandzic flap if the cross-lip flaps are not available for any reason. "wet" portion of the lip is well supplied with mucous and minor salivary glands. The red color is due to the rich blood supply to the region. A thin pale junctional zone of skin (sometimes known as the "white line") demarcates the junction betwe...

A 38 year old gentleman presented with recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of lower lip. He had earlier undergone previous surgeries and radiotherapy. At the time that he presented in KMCTH his lower lip area was much scarred and the tongue was shrunk and unavailable for vermilion reconstruction. This case report is an account of the various treatment carried out to reconstruct the lip. It was do...

Abstract The vermilion rockfish complex, which consists of the cryptic sister species and sunset rockfish, is one most valuable recreational fisheries on U.S. West Coast. These are currently managed as a single because uncertainty surrounding relative contribution each within existing data sources, stock status not fully known. A reliable cost-effective method needed to disentangle these that w...

We report here the complete genome sequences of three border disease virus (BDV) strains of the same subgenotype isolated in Switzerland from a sheep, a cow, and a pig, respectively. This is the first report of full-length sequences of a tentatively new subgenotype isolated from three different species of cloven-hoofed farm animals.

Delayed reconstruction of large lower lip defects after traumatic avulsion is a challenge in medically compromised patients with concomitant cheek skin burn. Combination of orthograde submental transposition flap and anteriorly based ventral rectangular myomucosal tongue flap is useful. The former reconstructs the body of the defect, and the latter masks the red lip, resembling vermilion. In th...

The cells of the anterior region of the larval fatbody of Drosophila melanogaster accumulate kynurenine at the end of the third larval instar, whereas the cells of the posterior region are involved in pteridine metabolism. Through a series of transplantation experiments it has been demonstrated that the anterior fat cells synthesize kynurenine. The mutant vermilion lacks kynurenine, and the ant...
