Through-and-through Nasal Reconstruction with the Bi-Pedicled Forehead Flap

Archives of Plastic Surgery, 2013
Background Nasal reconstruction is one of the most difficult challenges for the head and neck surgeon, especially in the case of complex full thickness defects following malignant skin tumor resection. Full-thickness defects require demanding multi-step

Columella reconstruction with an inferiorly-based philtral advancement flap in a cocaine abuser

Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2017
Nasal columella defects can significantly impair aesthetic appearance. Columella reconstruction can be very challenging for surgeons, especially if due to cocaine abuse.

A Systematic Study of GelMA‐Carbopol Bioinks for High‐Fidelity Extrusion 3D Bioprinting at Physiological Temperatures

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Gonzalez Martinez and collaborators develop a strategy to formulate high performance GelMA‐based bioinks with low solids contents. The resulting bioinks enable 3D bioprinting at 37 °C of high‐fidelity structures with tunable mechanical properties that support high cell viability and function.

Cavernous hemangioma in the masticatory space [PDF]

Einstein (São Paulo)
Hemangiomas are benign congenital vascular tumors that commonly arise in the head and neck regions. Although they present with indolent growth and involution in most cases, they can cause facial deformities.

Evaluation of accuracy of photogrammetry with 3D scanning and conventional impression method for craniomaxillofacial defects using a software analysis

Trials, 2022
Background Facial mutilation and deformities can be caused by cancer, tumours, injuries, infections, and inherited or acquired deformities and has the potential to degrade one’s quality of life by interfering with fundamental tasks like communication ...

Cellular Responses to Mechanical Cues Across Scales: From Fundamental Insights to Translational Potential

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...

A Lifeboat for Failed Nasal Reconstructions: The Supraclavicular–Submental Sandwich Flap

Archives of Plastic Surgery
Many failures in total or subtotal nasal reconstruction result from an underestimation of the amount of skin required for an adequate result, especially for sufficient lining. Such planning errors usually lead to poor results, with exposure of structural

Redox‐Confined Interfacial Polymerization Enables Mechanically Robust and Self‐Adhesive Nanofilms

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Redox‐confined polymerization of a simple thiol monomer at a water‐organic interface generates robust freestanding films with nanoscale thickness. The resulting disulfide‐crosslinked nanofilms combine high stiffness with intrinsic adhesion to soft substrates, enabling conformal contact with artificial skin without additional functionalization.

Structural and Dynamic Properties of Lipid‐Coated Gold Nanoparticles

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations reveal how lipid chemistry governs the behavior of coatings on the surface of a gold nanoparticle. Variations in headgroup charge and acyl‐chain saturation produce distinct monolayer‐like lipid organization, ranging from compact, ordered coatings to extended, dynamic shells. These findings establish a foundation

3D Printed Photon Shield Assembly for Low‐Noise Visual Stimulation During Two‐Photon Imaging in Mice

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
We present the Photon Shield, an open‐hardware system for low‐noise two‐photon calcium imaging during visual stimulation in mice. Combining a 3D‐printed headplate and rail‐mounted shield substantially reduces stray‐light contamination, as quantitatively verified. Functional validation confirms reliable cortical responses. Open design files enable broad
