Extracorporeal Removal of Drugs: Peritoneal Dialysis and Hemodialysis

Extracorporeal Removal of Drugs: Peritoneal Dialysis and Hemodialysis

Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or those experiencing drug overdose often require extracorporeal methods to eliminate accumulated drugs and metabolites. Hemoperfusion, hemofiltration, and dialysis are the primary techniques to rapidly remove harmful substances without disrupting the patient's fluid and electrolyte balance. For those with compromised renal function, dosage adjustments of concurrent medications may be necessary during extracorporeal drug removal.Dialysis is a process...

Psychosurgery

Psychosurgery

Psychosurgery, the surgical alteration or permanent removal of brain tissue to alleviate severe psychological conditions, stands as one of the most radical and controversial treatments in the history of mental health care. Its development and application have evolved significantly, marked by dramatic shifts in scientific understanding and ethical perspectives.
Historical Development of Psychosurgery
In the 1930s, Portuguese neurologist Antonio Egas Moniz introduced a surgical procedure designed...

Electron Orbital Model

Electron Orbital Model

Orbitals are the areas outside of the atomic nucleus where electrons are most likely to reside. They are characterized by different energy levels, shapes, and three-dimensional orientations. The location of electrons is described most generally by a shell or principal energy level, then by a subshell within each shell, and finally, by individual orbitals found within the subshells.The first shell is closest to the nucleus, and it has only one subshell with a single spherical orbital called the...

Accessory Structures of the Eye

Accessory Structures of the Eye

Optical perception, or vision, is an extraordinary sense dependent on converting light signals received via the ocular organs. These organs, known as eyes, are securely positioned within the bony cavities of the skull, called orbits. The orbits serve a dual purpose: a protective shield for the ocular globes and a stable attachment point for the soft ocular tissues. The eye's external protective mechanisms include the eyelids, which are edged with lashes that act as a barrier against foreign...

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Surgical Oncology
Plastic Surgery

Context:

Orbital exenteration is a radical surgical procedure for advanced eyelid neoplasms.
Reconstruction presents significant challenges, particularly in elderly patients with comorbidities.

Purpose:

To evaluate reconstructive techniques following orbital exenteration for eyelid tumors.
To assess functional and aesthetic outcomes of various flap reconstructions.

Summary:

Fifteen patients with palpebral and orbital tumors underwent orbital exenteration and reconstruction using temporal muscle, Mustardé, latissimus dorsi, or jugal V-Y flaps.
Basal cell carcinoma was the most frequent diagnosis (80%).
Mean follow-up was 23 months, with good healing and no radiotherapy complications. Four recurrences and one metastasis were observed.

Impact:

Regional and microsurgical flaps provide effective cutaneous coverage and closure of orbital communications.
Flap reconstructions facilitate functional restoration and are resilient to radiotherapy.
This approach aims to improve outcomes for patients undergoing extensive orbital surgery.
