Background Nasal reconstruction presents a challenge for plastic surgeons due to the prominent location and complex structure of the nose. When reconstructing full-thickness nasal defects, options to replace the inner lining, cartilaginous framework and outer skin must be considered. The aesthetic units of the nose must also be replaced in full rather than simply filling holes. This report pres...

OBJECTIVE To examine the possible role of Doppler ultrasound assessment of ductus venosus blood flow in screening for major cardiac defects in chromosomally normal fetuses with increased nuchal translucency (NT) thickness at 11 + 0 to 13 + 6 weeks' gestation. METHODS Ductus venosus blood flow velocity waveforms were obtained immediately before chorionic villus sampling for fetal karyotyping i...

Various morphologies of the vertically-aligned graphene flakes were fabricated on the nanoporous templates treated with metal ions in solutions, as well as coated with a thin gold layer and activated in the low-temperature Ar plasma. The thickness and level of structural defects in the graphene flakes could be effectively controlled by a proper selection of the pre-treatment method. We have als...

Sixteen clinically healthy New Zealand white rabbits of either sex were divided into 2 equal groups (I and II) of 8 animals each. Under thiopental sodium (2.5%) anaesthesia a 2 x 3 cm full-thickness abdominal wall defect in the mid-ventral abdominal wall was created and repaired with an acellular dermal graft (ADG) in all the animals of group I (test group). In animals of group II (control grou...
