Usefulness of a Lateral Thoracodorsal Flap after Breast Conserving Surgery in Laterally Located Breast Cancer [PDF]
Archives of Plastic Surgery, 2013 BackgroundBreast-conserving surgery is widely accepted as an appropriate method in breast cancer, and the lateral thoracodorsal flap provides a simple, reliable technique, especially when a mass is located in the lateral breast.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Volumetric muscle loss (VML) due to trauma or surgery, often leads to physical impairments. Traditional treatments rely on autologous flaps, limited by muscle availability often leading to donor site morbidity. This study presents multimodal bioprinting as an innovative approach for fabricating vascularized muscle flaps with 3D‐printed macrovessels ...

Flag flutter in inviscid channel flow [PDF]
, 2014 Using nonlinear vortex-sheet simulations, we determine the region in parameter space in which a straight flag in a channel-bounded inviscid flow is unstable to flapping motions. We find that for heavier flags, greater confinement increases the size of the region of instability. For lighter flags, confinement has little influence.

SAMSNeRF: Segment Anything Model (SAM) Guides Dynamic Surgical Scene Reconstruction by Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The accurate reconstruction of surgical scenes from surgical videos is critical for various applications, including intraoperative navigation and image-guided robotic surgery automation. However, previous approaches, mainly relying on depth estimation, have limited effectiveness in reconstructing surgical scenes with moving surgical tools.
