The correlation of other tumor characteristics, such as size, ulceration, duration and previous excisions or irradiation to the skull, with calvarial invasion was also studied. Of the

These conditions occur in chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia, oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy, mitochondrial myopathy, myotonic dystrophy, and ocular myasthenia, among others. Although they differ in their systemic clinical manifestations and in genetic inheritance, ocular involvement is common to all of them. Manifestations include bilateral progressive blepharoptosis with or without extraocular muscle malfunction. During surgical repair of the ptotic eyelid, consideration must be given to eyeball movements, in addition to maximal eyelid elevation, and to avoiding overcorrection and consequent corneal overexposure, leading to dryness and visual impairment. With these muscular dystrophic disorders, resection of the levator muscle or blepharoplasty alone does not suffice. Follow-up shows that most patients need a secondary repair after a short while. Operative co...

The aim of our study was to review the epidemiology, establish the mechanism of breast burn occurrence, and review the treatment plan. We evaluated 138 female burn patients, 38 (9%) of whom had non-isolated breast burns. In this group 25 burns (66%) were caused by scalds and 13 (34%) by fire. Scalds were responsible for first- to second-degree burns (50%), and cooking oil and fire for second- to third-degree burns (50%). A statistically significant difference was noted in the incidence of breast burns, which occurred mainly in late summer and fall (P = 0.03). There was a direct correlation between burn depth and duration of hospitalization, with average hospitalization time of 1.45 days for each percent of burn. Most breast burns were domestic, with children constituting the majority of the victims. Most breast burn patients were treated conservati...

Of 1728 patients admitted 342 (19.8%) received intravenous resuscitation with plasma. The formula appeared to be a good empirical guide to transfusion needs in the 36 h after burning. Patients with burns in excess of 45% body surface area (BSA), and particularly children, were likely to require more fluid than that indicated by the formula estimate. However, as burns in excess of 50% BSA are uncommon (50/1728 admissions) it seems reasonable to use a formula which is a guide to the probable needs of most patients while accepting the clinical response as the best means of assessing the actual fluid need of each patient, especially those with extensive injury.

At the present time, although we have a better understanding of the mechanism of skin flap delay, there are still controversies regarding the details. The purpose of our research was to study the vascular response of the delay phenomenon and compare the results with those obtained by others. This was accomplished by raising and delaying flaps in rats and histologically counting, at regular intervals, the number of arterioles, at a point of 2 cm distally to the base of the flap. Our data shows a decline in the number of arterio-venous shunts, from one week toward the third week post-operatively, thus sustaining those who advocate that the optimum time for transfer after delay procedure, is towards the third week. It is of empiric knowledge that a delay of a flap apparently enhances its chances for survival during later elevation, rotation, and transfer. Hynes (1) suggested that the reason for necrosis in the dist...

The results indicate abnormal characteristics of several of the constituents, whereas some others remain within normal values. This is attributed to preparation procedures with the addition of a CPD solution. Fresh frozen plasma being hyperosmolal, hypernatremic, hyperglycemic, hyperphosphatemic, normokalemic and containing normal values of protein, calcium, magnesium, and water carries a clinical implication for the physician as a guide for the treatment of the critically ill patient when large amounts of plasma are needed.

The tumor is often conical, consisting of marked retention of stratum corneum. This lesion can be caused by many primary underlying processes that may be benign, premalignant or malignant, thus the importance of accurate determination of the nature of the conditions at the base of the lesion. Surgery is the treatment of choice. We describe an illustrative case with cutaneous horn of the forearm. We also review various known causes of cutaneous horn and the pertinent literature.

The temporal muscle functions as an axial carrier of the periosteum that induces osteogenesis in young children, whereas the bone segments may serve as a nucleus for further bone formation from the periosteum. Correction of the eyelid coloboma was obtained by the rotation and advancement of a temporopalpebral flap.

Although this condition may be an alarming sign of compromised blood supply to the flap, the flap's other features were normal. The edema subsided spontaneously within a week, and the flap demonstrated full survival. Possible mechanisms of this phenomenon are discussed.

Only 4 patients with myotonic dystrophy (MD) who underwent pharyngeal flap elevation for VPI have been reported in the literature. In 3 patients, surgery preceded the diagnosis of MD. Cardiorespiratory complications characterized the postoperative period of 3 patients. The authors present 3 patients with VPI and an established diagnosis of MD (by molecular genetics) who underwent pharyngeal flap elevation. The operation resulted in a major improvement in speech in all patients, although some relapse was noted later in 1 patient. Contrary to previous reports, none had peri- or postoperative cardiorespiratory complications. MD, although an uncommon etiology, should be considered in cases of late-onset VPI. Owing to differences between the authors' findings and previous reports, additional studies are needed before final conclusions can be reached regarding the benefit and safety of pharyngeal flap ...

Burn injury in the pediatric age group has multiple-aspect sequelae. To characterize the profile of the injured pediatric burn patient, thus targeting the most vulnerable pediatric group. Between 1 January and 31 December 1996, a total of 9,235 pediatric patients were admitted for various traumatic injuries (burns, lacerations, fractures, etc.) to the Emergency Medicine Department of Schneider Children's Medical Center. We conducted a retrospective study of the patients' charts, including demographic data, which were stored in a computerized database, for statistical evaluation. The characteristics of pediatric burn patients were examined and compared with other pediatric trauma patients. Of the total patient population, 282 (3.1%) suffered from burns (37% females, 63% males). The most frequent burn injury was scald burn (58%). The pediatric group that was most exposed to burns was 13-18 month old males. Having identified the high...
