Article Abstract
Background: Burned hands require special attention and prompt treatment because of their vital functional importance. With fluorescein dye, it is possible to visualize vascular dermal layers to assist with the removal of nonviable skin through tangential excision.
Methods: Within 24 to 48 hours after a burn, 5 mg of fluorescein dye was injected intradermally and a Wood light was used to determine burn depth. Under anesthesia, an Air Brown (Zimmer Biomet) or castroviejo dermatome and a free-hand or Humby knife was used to excise the burned skin. Split-thickness layers approximately 0.015 inches thick were removed until strong fluorescence was noted.
Results: Observation indicators were used to assess the quality of the skin graft outcomes. No cases of infection, seromas, hematomas, or contractures were seen. Additionally, patients experienced reasonable cosmetic and functional outcomes within weeks to months following grafting.
Conclusions: Excision and split-thickness skin grafting with fluorescein dye and tangential excision can achieve desirable results and restore both cosmetic and functional outcomes.

Beyond the Algorithm: A Perspective on Tackling Bias and Cultural Sensitivity in AI-Guided Aesthetic Standards for Cosmetic Surgery in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Region.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly reshaping cosmetic surgery by enhancing surgical planning, predicting outcomes, and enabling objective aesthetic assessment. Through narrative synthesis of existing literature and case studies, this perspective paper explores the issue of algorithmic bias in AI-powered aesthetic technologies and presents a framework for culturally sensitive application within cosmetic surgery practices in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Existing AI systems are predominantly trained on datasets that underrepresent MENA phenotypes, resulting in aesthetic recommendations that disproportionately reflect Western beauty ideals.

A 12-year-old neutered male pit bull crossbreed dog was presented because of a right caudal maxillary swelling. Computed tomographic imaging of the skull and revealed a right maxillary mass with lysis of the medial wall of the right orbit and rostral aspect of the zygomatic bone. A biopsy was done, and histopathology results were consistent with a mixed odontogenic tumor.

The transition from traditional animal-based approaches and assessments to New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) marks a scientific revolution in regulatory toxicology, with the potential of enhancing human and environmental protection. However, implementing the effective use of NAMs in regulatory toxicology has proven to be challenging, and so far, efforts to facilitate this change frequently focus on singular technical, psychological or economic inhibitors. This article takes a system-thinking approach to these challenges, a holistic framework for describing interactive relationships between the components of a system of interest.

Introduction: Burn injuries affecting specialised areas such as the face and hands require durable skin coverage and complete graft "take" to prevent scarring and functional impairment. Failure to achieve these outcomes can lead to long-term complications. This presentation aims to describe an approach of delayed autografting in these regions, following a "trial of allograft" to optimise wound bed preparation.
