Z plasty made simple
This document describes the technique of a Z-plasty, which is used in scar revision and correction of free margin distortion. A Z-plasty involves making triangular flaps to lengthen or change the direction of a scar. The key steps are carefully planning and drawing the Z-plasty, making precise incisions, widely undermining the tissue, and transposing the flaps. The degree of scar lengthening and directional change depends on the angle of the flaps, with larger angles resulting in greater effects. Z-plasties must be carefully designed to align with skin tension lines for optimal results. Case examples demonstrate how Z-plasties can correct problems like scar contractures and alar retraction.
Park Z-Epicanthoplasty
This document describes the Park Z-epicanthoplasty technique for modifying the epicanthal fold in Asian patients undergoing double eyelid surgery. Key points:
- The epicanthal fold is a skin flap covering part or all of the lacrimal lake. It is a distinguishing feature in many East Asian populations.
- The Park Z-epicanthoplasty involves making incisions within the eyelid skin to elevate and transpose the epicanthal flap, avoiding tension and visible scarring compared to other techniques.
- It is most useful for type II and III epicanthal folds in patients seeking a higher or outer-type double eyelid. Careful preoperative marking and precision inc

Given the popularity of facial fillers as a nonsurgical alternative to rejuvenation, the authors describe techniques to maximize safety when injecting in facial danger zones. Reported complications can include blindness, stroke or death from inadvertent damage or cannulation of vasculature. The authors outline preferred injection methods in areas like the glabella/brow, temporal region, lips and nasolabial folds with respect to pertinent anatomy. The goal is to minimize risk by using reversible fillers, small needles and cannulas, and avoiding direct injections near vulnerable arteries. Practitioners must recognize complications and address them immediately.

The study identifies a safe zone for dissection during midface augmentation to avoid injury to the infraorbital nerve. Measurements were taken on 44 CT scans of adult faces to determine the average distance between the infraorbital foramen and nearby bony landmarks. For men, the average distances were 8.61 mm from the infraorbital rim, 17.43 mm from the piriform aperture, 41.81 mm from the second premolar tip, and 25.93 mm from the lateral orbital rim. For women, the averages were 8.25 mm, 15.69 mm, 37.33 mm, and 24.21 mm, respectively. Defining this safe zone can help clinicians locate the infraorbital for

The document summarizes the results of a cadaver study investigating the anatomical compartments of subcutaneous fat in the face. The study found that the fat is partitioned into multiple, independent compartments rather than existing as a single confluent mass. Key findings include:
- The nasolabial fold, cheeks, forehead, and periorbital region each contain three distinct fat compartments.
- Compartments are separated by septal barriers that can fuse, forming ligament-like structures.
- Understanding the compartmentalization provides insights into how aging affects the face and considerations for cosmetic surgery.
Update in alar base reduction in rhinoplasty
This document summarizes techniques for alar base reduction in rhinoplasty. It discusses three main techniques: 1) cinching sutures to pull the alae together, 2) alar base excisions to remove tissue and decrease flare/width, and 3) flap advancement without tissue removal. It notes surgical modification of the nasal base should be conservative to prevent complications like stenosis. The techniques aim to achieve a triangular nasal base with defined anatomy. Factors like nasal tip changes, septal deviations, and preexisting asymmetries can influence outcomes.

Preventing elevated radix deformity in asian
The Chimeric technique for Asian rhinoplasty aims to control final radix position and preserve the nasal profile. It involves using a composite silicone-PTFE implant with a glabellar component made of cartilage or PTFE. 49 patients underwent rhinoplasty with or without the Chimeric technique. Those who received the Chimeric technique had a more favorable horizontal vector of radix position change compared to the traditional technique, which resulted in a more vertical vector and potential for an elevated radix deformity. The Chimeric technique helps maintain a natural nasal profile during augmentation rhinoplasty.

Incision of rhinoplasty
This document discusses different incision techniques for rhinoplasty surgery. There are three main incision types: 1) Transcartilaginous incisions are made within the nasal cartilage. 2) Intercartilaginous incisions are made between the upper and lower nasal cartilages. 3) Marginal incisions are made along the outer edge of the nasal cartilage. The document also describes four surgical approaches - delivery, cartilage splitting, retrograde, and open - and provides details on transfixion, intercartilaginous, intracartilaginous, and transcolumellar incision techniques.
Current update in_asian_rhinoplasty
There has been tremendous growth in cosmetic surgery among Asians worldwide, with rhinoplasty being one of the most common procedures to refine Asian facial features while maintaining ethnic identity. Successful rhinoplasty in Asians requires consideration of underlying anatomic differences compared to whites, such as thinner nasal bones and thicker skin. Due to ethnic variations and cultural norms, careful preoperative counseling is important to ensure patient expectations align with the limitations and goals of the procedure.
Surgical technique for optimal outcomes2
This document discusses techniques for suturing tissue after cutting procedures in cutaneous surgery. It focuses on the buried vertical mattress suture technique. Key points covered include:
1) Proper suture material and needle size depends on the location and thickness of skin. A dissolving suture is ideal for buried sutures.
2) Suture sequence matters - high tension areas should be sutured first to allow for tissue creep.
3) Positioning oneself so the dominant hand is on the side of looser skin allows for easier suturing in tight spaces.
4) Countertraction is needed to evert the skin edge for accurate suturing, and can be done with
Synthetic fillers for facial rejuvenation
This document discusses synthetic fillers used for facial rejuvenation. It begins by providing statistics on the popularity and growth of soft tissue filler procedures. It then discusses several synthetic fillers - calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA), poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), and silicone. Specifically, it outlines the composition, FDA approval history, injection techniques, and benefits of CaHA and PLLA, which provide long-lasting volume replacement through biostimulation of collagen production. Complications are rare but can include nodules, which can be treated through massage or injection of other substances.
Surgical technique for optimal outcomes1
This document provides a summary of key principles for optimal surgical technique when performing cutaneous surgery. It discusses important considerations for each step of the procedure, including incising, excising, and undermining tissue.
The summary focuses on achieving uniform incisions to the desired depth without beveled edges in order to allow for precise wound edge apposition during suturing. It also emphasizes removing lesions or excess skin during excision with minimal damage and in the intended anatomical plane corresponding to the incision depth. Quality control checkpoints are proposed to objectively assess technique and identify areas for improvement.
Gene Expression System-viral gene delivery Mpharm(Pharamaceutics)
Gene therapy can be broadly defined as the transfer of genetic material to cure a disease or at least to improve the clinical status of a patient.
One of the basic concepts of gene therapy is to transform viruses into genetic shuttles, which will deliver the gene of interest into the target cells.
Safe methods have been devised to do this, using several viral and non-viral vectors.
In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient's cells instead of using drugs or surgery.
The biggest hurdle faced by medical research in gene therapy is the availability of effective gene-carrying vectors that meet all of the following criteria:
Protection of transgene or genetic cargo from degradative action of systemic and endonucleases,
Delivery of genetic material to the target site, i.e., either cell cytoplasm or nucleus,
Low potential of triggering unwanted immune responses or genotoxicity,
Economical and feasible availability for patients .
Viruses are naturally evolved vehicles that efficiently transfer their genes into host cells.
Choice of viral vector is dependent on gene transfer efficiency, capacity to carry foreign genes, toxicity, stability, immune responses towards viral antigens and potential viral recombination.
There are a wide variety of vectors used to deliver DNA or oligo nucleotides into mammalian cells, either in vitro or in vivo.
The most common vector system based on retroviruses, adenoviruses, herpes simplex viruses, adeno associated viruses.
Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s Perspective
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

This presentation gives information on the pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes i.e. Eicosanoids. Eicosanoids are signaling molecules derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids like arachidonic acid. They are involved in complex control over inflammation, immunity, and the central nervous system. Eicosanoids are synthesized through the enzymatic oxidation of fatty acids by cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. They have short half-lives and act locally through autocrine and paracrine signaling.
