The “Jacobsen Flap” for the Treatment of Stage III–IV Dupuytren’s Disease at Little Finger: Our Review of 123 Cases

2011

For selective fasciectomy in patients with Dupuytren’s disease at Tubiana Stage I–II, midline longitudinal incisions with serial Z-plasties, Bruner zigzag incisions, and V-Y plasties over the palm and most severely affected fingers are accepted methods. Advantages of these approaches are good intraoperative visualization of the fibrous tissue, rapid dissection, minor tissue trauma, and usually the possibility of a tension-free wound closure (Brenner and Rayan 2003). In cases of Dupuytren’s disease at Stage III and IV, with severe digital flexion, inelastic overlying skin, and expected skin shortage after contracture release, these incisions may sometimes be useful, but in our experience, qu…

Limberg fasciocutaneous transposition flap for the coverage of an exposed hip implant in a patient affected by ewing sarcoma

2017

Highlights • Hemipelvectomy with immediate reconstruction with prosthetic devices for the surgical treatment of malignant tumors is an invasive procedure. • The treatment of an exposed hip implant in these cluster of patient is extremely challenging and the literature shows how negative pressure wound therapy and myocutaneous, both pedicled and free, flaps are workhorses in these situations. • The literature shows that the gold standard in the coverage of exposed prosthetic devices and in the treatment of infected non healing wounds is represented by muscular or myocutaneous flap. • In this paper we report a successful coverage of exposed prosthetic hip implant with a local fasciocutaneous …

Time-gated Raman and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy in mapping of eudialyte and catapleiite

2020

Raman analysis of rock samples containing rare earth elements (REEs) is challenging due to the strong fluorescence, which may mask the weaker Raman signal. In this research, time‐gated (TG) Raman has been applied to the construction of the mineral distribution map from REE‐bearing rock. With TG Raman, material is excited with a short subnanosecond laser pulse, and the Raman signal is collected within a picosecond‐scale time window prior to the formation of a strong fluorescent signal by means of single‐photon avalanche diode array. This allows signal readout with a significantly reduced fluorescence background. TG Raman maps are used to reveal the location of valuable minerals and are compa…

Uzależnienie od hazardu jako przyczyna rozwodu

2017

Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu zaprezentowane wpływu jaki może mieć uzależnienie od hazardu na życie rodzinne osoby cierpiącej na to zaburzenie. Podstawowym problemem badawczym jest ustalenie, czy uzależnienie od hazardu może być przyczyną rozwodu a w dalszej części odpowiedzi na pytanie czy hazard może być przyczyną rozpadu pożycia małżeńskiego stron. Omówienie tego zagadnienia wymaga ustalenia tego, co to jest uzależnienie od hazardu i jaki ma wpływ na rozpad więzi łączących małżonków przez pryzmat ich wzajemnych obowiązków oraz odpowiedzi na zasadnicze pytanie dotyczące orzeczenia rozwodu z winy małżonka z tego powodu

Utterance fluency in Finnish Sign Language L1 and L2 signing

2021

This paper explores the fluency of first language (L1) and second language (L2) signers of Finnish Sign Language. The phenomenon was approached by measuring utterance fluency using speed and breakdown parameters. The findings revealed clear differences between L1 and L2 signers regarding the measured fluency parameters. On average, L1 signers produced more signs and had fewer breakdowns per minute than L2 signers. However, the slowest L1 signer and the fastest L2 signer were more similar to each other than the averages of the L1 group’s (129.3) and the L2 group’s (71.4) signs per minute might suggest. The number of breakdowns per minute differed between the groups, with L2 signers breaking …
