Careful interdisciplinary planning and staging are required for suitable patients who desire breast reconstruction after cancer surgery. An early and positive approach helps to ease the emotional ...burden of mastectomy. In most cases, breasts can be reconstructed without additional skin or muscle flaps. When possible, the original nipple-areolar complex should be placed on a healthy de-epithelialized base. The position for nipple banking must be determined with precision. The opposite breast can be reduced and positioned to match the reconstructed breast.
A method of approaching the separated, granular temporal scalp wound in a rhytidectomy patient is presented. The time-honored principles of wound healing are discussed with reference to the first ...skin graft described.
This article describes the treatment of the late effects of oral commissure scarring, especially after electrical cord injuries. The combination of mucosal advancement flaps plus split vermilion ...grafts and full-thickness preauricular skin grafts are used and illustrated in two patients. These methods have yielded satisfactory results in six patients.
The use of a wedge of contralateral alar rim as a composite graft for alar reconstruction after tumor resection is presented. The use of submental full-thickness graft interposition is also discussed.
Five patients who developed calcification of the capsule following augmentation mammaplasty are described. This long-term complication may be encountered with increasing frequency and should be ...considered in evaluating women with solid, firm, constructed capsules.
For the development of high quantum efficiency photocathodes, the bi-alkali (K-Cs-Sb) photocathode growth process was studied through in-situ X-ray scattering measurements, including X-ray ...diffractometry (XRD) and X-ray reflectometry (XRR). Characterization during real-time growth revealed correlations between growth parameters and microscopic structural change of the photocathode. This paper presents preliminary results of an ongoing experiment to understand the growth mechanism. X-ray diffractometry enabled the observation of selective growth of specific crystalline orientation during the deposition and evaporation of an Sb layer. A phase transition of the Sb layer was also measured. X-ray reflectometry revealed surface roughness changes during the growth process and permitted layer thickness measurements while the K layer was evaporated on an ex-situ grown Sb layer, in addition to in-situ Sb layer growth.
