Efficacy and patient satisfaction regarding lymphovenous bypass with sleeve-in anastomosis for extremity lymphedema

Archives of Plastic Surgery, 2019
Background When performing lymphovenous anastomosis, it is sometimes difficult to find venules in the proximity of an ideal lymphatic vessel that have a similar diameter to that of the lymphatic vessel. In this situation, larger venules can be used.

Free Flap Salvage in Lower Extremity Reconstruction via Use of Contralateral Lower Extremity Recipient Vessels

Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery Open, 2016
Soft-tissue coverage after complex distal lower extremity trauma is often difficult due to limited local flap options and injury to potential recipient vessels when considering microsurgical reconstruction.

Serum Myonectin Levels Are Positively Associated With Physical Function and Lower Frailty‐Related Limitation in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients frequently suffer from frailty, characterized by reduced physical function and poor prognosis. Myokines, such as myonectin, secreted by muscle, are emerging regulators of systemic health. This study investigated the relationship between serum myonectin, adipokines (adiponectin, omentin), and ...

Lower Extremity Nerve Function in Patients With Lower Extremity Ischemia [PDF]

Archives of Internal Medicine, 2006
We determined whether lower extremity ischemia, as measured by the ankle brachial index (ABI), is associated with impaired lower extremity nerve function.Participants included 478 persons with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) identified from noninvasive vascular laboratories and 292 persons without PAD identified from a general medicine practice and ...

Structural integrity of custom-designed additive manufactured prosthetic sockets compared to traditional sockets

Results in Materials
Over the past decades, the number of patients with lower extremity amputation increased world-wide. The increasing rate of patients, particularly in developing countries, has led to limited access to clinics and services for prosthetic and orthotic care.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

The Impact of Cast Walker Design on Metabolic Costs of Walking and Perceived Exertion

Diabetology
Background/Objectives: Cast walkers (CWs) are often prescribed to offload diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). However, their mass, the degree of ankle immobilization and the limb length discrepancy they induce may increase the energetic demands of walking ...
