Development and Reliability Testing of the Sinonasal Assessment of Reepithelialization, a Novel Wound Healing Scale to Assess Postoperative Healing

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sinus and skull base surgery create areas of demucosalized bone and cartilage in the sinonasal cavity, yet no standardized system exists to describe the progressive healing of these wounds. The goal of this study was to develop the novel Sinonasal Assessment of Reepithelialization (SNARE) and perform parametric testing including ...

A self‐retaining mouth prop for intraoral access during periodontal surgery in rat models: A technical note

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
A mouth prop designed to mimic the oral cavity of rats was made that provided stable, self‐retaining retraction, thereby facilitating oral surgery on rodents. Compared to conventional methods, it decreased surgical time, operator fatigue, and slippage. Its use led to higher efficiency and fewer complications and it was cost effective to produce.

Ultrasound-based assessment of muscle mass is associated with early recovery after kidney transplant: a prospective single-center study

open access: yesBMC Anesthesiology
Background Low muscle mass and frailty are associated with worse perioperative outcomes. However, traditional modalities for quantifying muscle mass are limited, costly, may require radiation exposure, and can be unreliable with kidney failure.

Animal models for investigating post‐stroke cognitive impairment: A neurovascular trafficking perspective

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Animal models enable mechanistic testing of how ischemic injury disrupts neurovascular trafficking and drives cognitive vulnerability after stroke. Complementary models capture distinct vascular, cellular, white matter, and cognitive features of PSCI.

Performance of routine surveillance diagnostics of external ventricular drain-associated infections in a critical care setting: a retrospective cohort study

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases
Introduction External ventricular drains (EVDs) are crucial for treating neurocritically ill patients but are complicated by feared EVD-associated infections (EVDIs) in up to 35% of all inserted drains, contributing significantly to morbidity, mortality ...
