BACKGROUND surgical excision remains the best tool for management of skin tumors affecting nasal skin, however many surgical techniques have been used for reconstruction of the nasal defects caused by excisional surgery. The aim of this work is the evaluation of the feasibility and outcome of levator anguli oris muscle based flaps. METHODS Ninety patients of malignant nasal skin tumours were ...

IMPORTANCE Noninvasive ventilation delivered as bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) is often used to avoid reintubation and improve outcomes of patients with hypoxemia after cardiothoracic surgery. High-flow nasal oxygen therapy is increasingly used to improve oxygenation because of its ease of implementation, tolerance, and clinical effectiveness. OBJECTIVE To determine whether high-flo...

Most cases of severely contracted nose require revision rhinoplasty and septoplasty, wherein preoperative and/or intraoperative expansion of nasal soft tissue is necessary for tension-free revision surgery. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pre- and postoperative adjuvant therapy using polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) and invasive, pulsed-type, bipolar, alternating cu...

BACKGROUND The reconstruction of fullthickness nasal alla defects is challenging procedure. Use of local flaps is acceptable approach. Flap based on infraorbital artery could be used for primary reconstruction of nasal ala defects. METHODS The prospective study include consecutive series of 15 patients with advanced skin carcinoma of the nasal ala and medial cheek staged T4 by TNM, in whom th...

although response to intranasal steroid therapy has been reported in pa¬tients with allergic rhinitis, efficacy of some nasal steroids is noteworthy. this study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of a two-week course of fluticasone (flixonase) nasal spray vs. beclomethasone (beconase) nasal spray in patients with symptoms of allergic rhinitis referred to our clinic. this study reviewed six...

Superior skin care is a nurse-sensitive outcome measure (Young, T., & Clark, M. (2009). Re-positioning for pressure ulcer prevention (protocol). The Cochrane Database of Systematic Review (2009) 3). This study sought to decrease incidence and risk of skin breakdown in the pediatric cardiac intensive care unit (PCICU). The study was conducted in a large hospital in upstate New York. A practice g...

Perineal protection products were compared for their efficacy in preventing skin breakdown in the hospitalized patient with urinary and/or fecal incontinence. Each product was used for the duration of the hospital stay with daily observations for perineal skin condition. Results indicated the spray product and wipe product were comparable in rate of skin breakdown prevention. Findings suggest t...

A 66-year-old man presented with a large squamous cell carcinoma of the right nasal vestibule. He underwent partial rhinectomy and medial maxillectomy followed by staged reconstruction. Reconstruction of a full-thickness nasal defect requires repair of three distinct layers: the skin-soft tissue envelope, subsurface framework and intranasal lining. We report the first use in the UK of an osteoc...

BACKGROUND Autologous and synthetic nasal and auricular frameworks require skin coverage. The surgeon's decides on the appropriate skin coverage for reconstruction based on colour matching, subcutaneous tissue thickness, expertise and experience. One of the major complications of placing subcutaneous implants is the risk of extrusion (migration through the skin) and infection. However, knowledg...
