Immediate lymphatic reconstruction with targeted lymphatic axillary repair
(Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery, 2025)Current surgical treatment for established lymphedema can be challenging and not always successful. To reduce the incidence of post-operative lymphedema, we began trialing targeted lymphatic axillary ... -
Barcelona consensus paper on reconstructive lymphedema surgery: a delphi study
(Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery: Journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 2025)Background: Lymphedema, a chronic condition characterized by accumulation of lymph fluid due to malfunction of the lymphatic system, remains a significant clinical challenge despite advances in diagnosis ... -
Intersegmental kinematics of the upper cervical spine: normal range of motion and its alteration after alar ligament transection
(Spine, 2021)Study Design: Biomechanical study using cadaveric cervical spines. Objective: To evaluate joint mobility and stiffness at the craniovertebral junction.Summary of Background Data: Data on the intersegmental ... -
Safety of dry needling of the pronator teres muscle in cadavers: a potential treatment for pronator syndrome
(Pain Medicine, 2022)Background: Entrapment of the median nerve at the pronator teres muscle can contribute to symptoms in the forearm and wrist. The pronator teres is also involved in patterns of spasticity observed in ... -
Dorsal dry needling to the pronator quadratus muscle is a safe and valid technique: a cadaveric study
(Physiotherapy Theory and Practice, 2023)Background: The pronator quadratus (PQ) muscle is an important stabilizer of the distal radio-ulnar joint and its pain referral pattern can mimic median or ulnar neuropathy. Research on treatment safety ... -
Effects of plantar fascia release and the use of foot orthoses affect biomechanics of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot: a cadaveric study
(American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, 2024)Objective: The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of minimally invasive ultrasound-guided fascial release and a foot orthoses with first metatarsal head cutout on the biomechanics of the medial ... -
Bioluminescent and micro-computed tomography imaging of bone repair induced by fibrin-binding growth factors
(Acta Biomaterialia, 2014)In this work we have evaluated the capacity of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and fibrin-binding platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) to support cell growth and induce bone regeneration ... -
Hyperbaric oxygen treatment of tissue-engineered mucosa enhances secretion of angiogenic factors in vitro
(Tissue Engineering Part A, 2014)The survival of tissue-engineered mucosa (TEM) after implantation is mostly dependent on the presence of blood vessels for continuous oxygen supply. Therefore the stimulation of vascularization of TEM ... -
Tissue-engineered mucosa is a suitable model to quantify the acute biological effects of ionizing radiation
(International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2025)The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of tissue-engineered mucosa (TEM) as a model for studying the acute effects of ionizing radiation (IR) on the oral mucosa. TEM and native non-keratinizing ... -
Characterization of a three-dimensional mucosal equivalent: similarities and differences with native oral mucosa
(Cells Tissues Organs, 2012)The aim of this study was to create and characterize a tissue-engineered mucosal equivalent (TEM) that closely resembles native mucosa. TEM consists of human primary keratinocytes and fibroblasts isolated ... -
Phosphorylation of Hsl1 by Hog1 leads to a G2 arrest essential for cell survival at high osmolarity
(The EMBO Journal, 2006)Control of cell cycle progression by stress‐activated protein kinases (SAPKs) is essential for cell adaptation to extracellular stimuli. Exposure of yeast to osmostress leads to activation of the Hog1 ... -
Reduced structural connectivity between left auditory thalamus and the motion-sensitive planum temporale in developmental dyslexia
(Journal of Neuroscience, 2019)Developmental dyslexia is characterized by the inability to acquire typical reading and writing skills. Dyslexia has been frequently linked to cerebral cortex alterations; however, recent evidence also ... -
Voice processing ability predicts second-language phoneme learning in early bilingual adults
(Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2025)Individuals differ greatly in their ability to learn the sounds of second languages, even when learning starts early in life. Recent research has suggested that the ability to identify the idiosyncratic ... -
Perceiving speech from a familiar speaker engages the person identity network
(PLoS One, 2025)Numerous studies show that speaker familiarity influences speech perception. Here, we investigated the brain regions and their changes in functional connectivity involved in the use of person-specific ... -
Anatomical study of ultrasound vs landmark guidance for needle placement in the obliquus capitis inferior
(Scientific Reports, 2025)Needling of obliquus capitis inferior (OCI) muscle could be an important intervention for individuals with upper cervical pain; however, precision is important due to its sensitive location. The aim was ... -
