Experimental fat embolism: A dynamic assessment of pulmonary fat-handling characteristics
Journal of British Surgery, 1977 Abstract Injection 125I-glyceryl trioleate (0.5 mg/kg) into the right atrium of anaesthetized greyhounds caused the following changes: sequestration of fat in the right side of the heart; 95 per cent removal by the lungs in a single passage through the pulmonary circulation; subsequent release of fat into the systemic circulation; rapid ...

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The low proton density and high signal decay rate of pulmonary tissue have previously hampered the application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the clinical evaluation of lung disorders. With the continuing technical advances in scanners, coils, pulse sequences, and image postprocessing, pulmonary MRI can provide structural and ...

Gas exchange after pulmonary fat embolism in dogs
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1979 Gas exchange following moderately severe experimental pulmonary fat embolism was studied in nine dogs. A new method designed to describe the distribution of ventilation-perfusion ratios in the lung was applied before and after intravenous injection of homologous neutral fat. The dose of fat (0.75 ml/kg) was low enough to produce a small but significant

Liver Disease Predicts 30‐Day Postoperative Complications in Head and Neck Microvascular Surgery
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.While liver disease is known to affect surgical outcomes, its impact on head and neck microvascular free tissue transfer surgeries remains unexamined. This study uses the NSQIP national database to analyze the relationship between liver disease severity, determined by APRI and MELD‐Na scores, and postoperative complications.

Predictive Factors of Free Flap Volume Evolution in Head and Neck Reconstruction
Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.Abstract Objective The aim of our study was to determine the factors influencing the evolution of the total volume and bone volume of free flaps commonly used in head and neck surgery, with a 30‐month prospective study, to establish volume change predictions and thus propose a degree of overcorrection to be expected before reconstruction.
