Prevalence of Machine Learning in Craniofacial Surgery
Machine learning (ML) revolves around the concept of using experience to teach computer-based programs to reliably perform specific tasks. Healthcare setting is an ideal environment for adaptation of ML applications given the multiple specific tasks that could be allocated to computer programs to perform. There have been several scoping reviews published in literature looking at the general acceptance and adaptability of surgical specialities to ML applications, but very few focusing on the application...

Nasolabial Perforator Flap: A Multi-Tool for Reconstruction of Facial Units
Background: Nasolabial flap is a work-horse flap for coverage of many facial units. However, these flaps have limited mobility and these limit their use in many instances. Facial artery with its numerous small cutaneous perforators can be a source for free-style skin flaps that can be islanded and have greater reach, one of which is nasolabial perforatory flap. Methods: The authors present a case series of 35 patients with central facial unit defects reconstructed by a single flap harvested...

Nasal Alar Surface Area Differences After Unilateral Cleft Lip Repair: Long-Term Effects of the Perialar Incision
Background: The Millard rotation-advancement cleft lip repair is the most commonly performed cleft lip repair. An extended perialar incision allows for further advancement of the lateral lip element and improved positioning of the alar base. There is a lack of data evaluating differences in nasal alar growth when the perialar incision is utilized. This study compares the long-term effects of a perialar incision on the alar surface area of unilateral cleft lip patients who underwent a Millard...

Variability in Current Procedural Terminology Codes for Craniomaxillofacial Trauma Reconstruction: A National Survey
Background: Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes are an important part of surgical documentation and billing for services provided within the United States. This limited coding language presents a challenge in the heterogenous and rapidly evolving field of craniofacial surgery. The authors aimed to survey members of the American Society of Maxillofacial Surgery (ASMS) to characterize the variability in coding practices in the surgical management of craniofacial trauma. Methods: ...

Chemical Identification and Confirmation of Contact Allergens
Identification of the etiological chemical agent(s) associated with a case(s) of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is important for both patient management and public health surveillance. Traditional patch testing can identify chemical allergens to which the patient is allergic. Confirmation of allergen presence in the causative ACD-associated material is presently dependent on labeling information, which may not list the allergenic chemical on the product label or safety data sheet. Dermatologists...

Background Allergic contact dermatitis to rubber accelerators in gloves has been well described in the literature. In response to this, glove manufacturers have recently marketed “accelerator-free” gloves. Little research has been done, to confirm whether these gloves are truly free from the accelerators known to cause contact dermatitis. Objective The aim of the study was to verify use of accelerators in reportedly accelerator-free/low-dermatitis-potential gloves. Methods A total of...

Oat-Derived β-Glucans Induced Trained Immunity Through Metabolic Reprogramming
Abstract Trained immunity has been recently identified in innate immune cells, which undergo long-term epigenetic and metabolic reprogramming after exposure to pathogens for protection from secondary infections. (1, 3)/(1, 6)-β-glucan derived from fungi can induce potent trained immunity; however, the effect of (1, 3)/(1, 4)-β-glucan (rich in dietary fiber oat) on trained immunity has not been reported. In the present study, two cell...

Abstract Background Smoking, whether active or passive, has proven deleterious effects on the nasal mucosa. There is also a link between smoking and development and/or maintenance of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Reversal of smoking-induced mucosal changes after quitting smoking is still unconfirmed and controversial. The present study investigated the possibility of reversal of smoking-related nasal mucosal changes back to normal after...

An Enteropathy-like Indolent NK-Cell Proliferation Presenting in the Female Genital Tract
Natural killer (NK) cell enteropathy is a lymphoproliferative disorder, initially described by Mansoor and colleagues, that presents in the gastrointestinal tract, and is often mistaken for extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma on first assessment. This population of cells in this process have an NK-cell phenotype (CD3, CD56, CD2, CD7), lacks evidence of Epstein-Barr virus infection, has germline rearrangement of the T-cell receptor, and a very indolent clinical course. Indeed, many of such patients had...
