Although there are several reports about the use of dermal or dermofat grafts, there are only a few reports about augmentation rhinoplasty performed using a ‘‘pure’’ dermal graft. Authors introduce the refined techniques, clinical experience, and report an aesthetically pleasing result of augmentation rhinoplasty performed using a folded pure dermal graft
Even though Augmentation rhinoplasty is very popular surgical procedure, it is not easy to obtain ideal materials for augmentation. Many different synthetic materials are used but frequent complications are seen such as infection, extrusion, deform, and dislocation. Autologous tissues were used for augmentation rhinoplasty.
In this study, a triple quadrupole LC-MS/MS electrospray ionization method was developed and validated for quantitative determination of adenosine, guanosine, xanthine and uric acid in fifteen widely consumed Thai vegetables. The method was successively developed by using caffeine as internal standard. The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) was 0.2 μg/g for adenosine and guanosine, and 1.0 μ…
Low back pain is one of the most common complaints in the general population which represents a significant public health problem. Epidural Steroid Injection is being considered as a simple, effective and minimally invasive treatment modality for lumbar disc herniation. However, most studies only find a short-term benefit. In Bhutan, till date, no study has been done in Bhutan on this subject
The term necrotising fasciitis (NF) refers to severe inflammation of the muscle sheath that leads to necrosis ofrnthe subcutaneous tissue and adjacent fascia. It is associated with a significant risk of mortality and long-termr disability from limb and tissue loss. It occurs frequently enough that physicians outside critical care are likely torn be involved in the management of at least one pat…
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common hereditary kidney disease and one of the most common causes of end-stage kidney disease. Multiple clinical manifestations, such as enlarged kidneys filled with growing cysts, hypertension, and multiple extrarenal complications, including liver cysts, intracranial aneurysms, and cardiac valvular disease, show that ADPKD i…
Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) experience substantial survival benefit compared with dialysis patients. However, their mortality and graft failure risk remain high. KTRs are often low in micronutrient status, including vitamins D and K. We investigated the association of both vitamins D and K status, and vitamin D treatment with all-cause mortality and death-censored graft failure.
The adoption of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis guideline of using mupirocin ointment has been limited by fear of developing mupirocin-resistant organisms. We performed a surveillance program of a large peritoneal dialysis (PD) unit
