ABSTRACT Background: The transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous (TRAM) flap remains the gold standard for postmastectomy reconstruction either immediate or delayed. However, transfer of TRAM flap can be associated with donor site morbidities and complications in flap. A successful reconstruction consists of careful patient selection, surgical technique and meticulous preoperative plannin...

A minimal variance reconstruction scheme is derived using derivatives of the Gaussian as filters. A closed form mixed correlation matrix for reconstructions from multiscale points and their local derivatives up to the second order is presented. With the inverse of this mixed correlation matrix, a reconstruction of the image can be easily calculated. Some interesting results of reconstructions f...

experiences indicate that after earthquakes a little attention is paid to the role of collective memory (cm) in the reconstruction process. this is due to time constraints, because all organizations try to speed up the physical reconstruction process, after the disasters. thus, quality is sacrificed for quantity. herein one of the most challenging issues is the reconstruction of bazaar neighbor...

background: the standard methods for reconstruction of soft tissue defects in the leg include gastrocnemius flap for proximal third defects, soleus flap for middle third and free flap in the distal third. however, there are problems with the use of free flap, like increased operative time, damage of major vessels and the need for experienced microsurgeon. mathods: this prospective study was und...

abstract   background: traumatic or congenital events can result in injury and functional deficiency in the hand and we need to reconstruct the fingers at times. studies are available in the pediatric and adult age groups to assess the length of the thumb. but to the best our knowledge no measurement of the relative clinical length of all fingers has been reported in the literature. we performe...

Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is a technology that creates three dimensional (3D) images of breast tissue. Tomosynthesis mammography detects lesions that are not detectable with other imaging systems. If image reconstruction time is in the order of seconds, we can use Tomosynthesis systems to perform Tomosynthesis-guided Interventional procedures. This research has been designed to study u...

purpose: reconstruction programs have two approaches: in-situ reconstructions and relocation. different experiences around the world show little acceptance of relocation programs by people which new sites were left or did not return to their pre-boom. meanwhile, estalkhkooh village relocation program shows vice versa. villagers not only accept their new relocated village but also are trying to ...

Background: Reconstructions of acute acromioclavicular (AC) dislocations have been thought to result in superioroutcomes than chronic dislocations. The use of tendon graft in reconstructions has demonstrated favorablebiomechanical properties. To determine whether utilizing tendon graft during repair of acute AC dislocations results insuperior outcomes and lower complication ra...
