Article Abstract

Large lateral facial defects as a result of trauma or head and neck oncologic surgery can present a challenging reconstructive dilemma for the operating surgeon. A number of options currently exist for reconstructing such defects, including skin grafts, myocutaneous flaps, and free vascularized flaps. The decision to utilize one approach versus another depends largely on the nature of the defect, anatomical location, and the experience of the surgeon. This article describes our experience utilizing cervicopectoral rotation flaps with and without myocutaneous flaps to reconstruct large lateral facial defects after head and neck oncologic surgery.

Background And Aim: Bovine babesiosis, caused by , poses significant economic challenges to Kazakhstan's cattle industry. Early and accurate detection is crucial for interrupting transmission cycles, particularly in regions lacking advanced diagnostic infrastructure. This study aimed to develop a rapid lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) using a recombinant C-terminal fragment of the recombinant rhoptry-associated protein 1 (rRap1) antigen for the serodiagnosis of bovine babesiosis.

Introduction And Clinical Importance: To present a case of traumatic third cranial nerve palsy and discuss the management challenges associated with this condition.

Case Presentation: A 27-year-old male patient was referred to our hospital following a road traffic accident that resulted in multiple injuries, including traumatic brain injury, orbital injury. The patient presented with left complete upper lid ptosis, a fixed dilated pupil, and restricted extraocular muscle movements in the left eye except abduction with large exotropia >90 PD and hypotropia 25 PD diagnosed as left oculomotor nerve palsy.

For lumbar spinal canal stenosis, endoscopic spine surgery typically employs a unilateral approach. While this approach has the advantage of early access to the lamina, it risks damage to the facet joint on the entry side. Additionally, decompression of the ipsilateral lateral recess can be challenging, sometimes resulting in inadequate decompression laterally, leading to incomplete symptom relief.

Background: Frequent premature atrial complexes (PACs) can increase the risk of atrial fibrillation or atrial tachycardia, and pharmacological therapy can be challenging.

Objective: To report the use of three-dimensional electro-anatomical mapping of PAC originating from the right atrial free wall and treatment by radiofrequency ablation in three horses.

Study Design: Retrospective case report.
