Supraclavicular artery island flap reconstruction of a contralateral partial laryngopharyngeal defect.
Abstract: Oncologic resection of head and neck cancers often results in complex reconstructive problems that can require local, regional, or free flaps. Herein, we present a case of a 67-year-old female with a history of floor of mouth cancer who had a second primary...
[Hyperbaric oxygenation and penis erectile dysfunction].
Abstract: Relaxation and contraction factors influencing penile erection are produced and released by the central and peripheral nerves as well as intracavernosal sinus gap and vascular endothelial cells. Aging, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and spinal cord injury...
To exenterate or not? An unusual case of pediatric rhinocerebral mucormycosis.
Abstract: Rhinocerebral mucormycosis (RM) is a rare, potentially lethal fungal infection. Traditional teaching encourages aggressive surgical resection until viable bleeding tissue is encountered, often leading to orbital exenteration, skull base resection, and...

Fasting increases human skeletal muscle net phenylalanine release and this is associated with decreased mTOR signaling
Abstract Aim:Â Fasting is characterised by profound changes in energy metabolism including progressive loss of body proteins. The underlying mechanisms are however unknown and we therefore determined the effects of a 72-hour-fast on human skeletal muscle protein...
High plasma glutamate levels are associated with poor functional outcome in acute ischemic stroke.
Abstract: The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between acute ischemic stroke and glutamate levels and to determine the prognosis value of plasma glutamate levels to predict the functional outcome. Two hundred and forty-two patients with...
