Chest Wall Reconstruction and Advanced Disease [PDF]

open access: yesSeminars in Plastic Surgery, 2004
Clinical experience supports a role for palliative procedures in patients with locally advanced or recurrent breast cancer, yet numerous challenges are entailed in both the extirpation and reconstruction of the chest wall in these cases. The defects may be profound and complicated by prior surgery, radiation therapy, or patient-related variables.

Intrinsic PPG–ECG Coupling for Accurate and Low‐Power Blood Pressure Monitoring

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A PPG–ECG coupling strategy for continuous blood pressure monitoring that intrinsically synchronizes signals within a single waveform is demonstrated, minimizing synchronization errors and hardware complexity. This approach halves power consumption while maintaining high accuracy, enabling compact, energy‐efficient wearable devices for personalized ...

Properties of novel composite meshes in chest wall reconstruction: A comparative animal study

open access: yesAnnals of Thoracic Medicine, 2014
Purpose: Novel composite meshes routinely used in laparoscopic hernia repair reportedly lead to fewer and less dense visceral adhesions and may provide a viable alternative in thoracic surgery as well.

Three-Dimensional Printed Models for Preoperative Planning and Surgical Treatment of Chest Wall Disease: A Systematic Review

open access: yesTechnologies, 2021
Introduction: In chest wall reconstruction, the main objectives are the restoration of the chest wall integrity, function, and aesthetic, which is often achieved with the placement of implants. We aimed to evaluate whether 3D printed models can be useful

Repeated successful surgical rescues of early and delayed multiple ruptures of ventricular septum, right ventricle and aneurysmal left ventricle following massive biventricular infarction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
A 58 year old man underwent 6 surgical interventions for various complications of massive biventricular myocardial infarction over a period of 2 years following acute occlusion of a possibly "hyperdominant" left anterior descending coronary artery. These

Deformation Driven Suction Cups: A Mechanics‐Based Approach to Wearable Electronics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Deformation‐driven suction cups enable robust, reversible adhesion of wearable electronics to human skin spanning wide mechanical compliance, without adhesives or tight straps. By integrating mechanics modeling, experiments, and contact mechanics theory, this work reveals how cup geometry, substrate compliance, and interfacial adhesion govern suction ...

Uncommon Flaps for Chest Wall Reconstruction [PDF]

open access: yesSeminars in Plastic Surgery, 2011
The omentum, external oblique musculocutaneous, and thoracoepigastric flaps are uncommonly used for chest wall reconstruction. Nevertheless, awareness and knowledge of these flaps is essential for reconstructive surgeons because they fill specific niche indications or serve as lifeboats when workhorse flaps are unavailable. The current report describes
