Summary
Patients undergoing bariatric or cosmetic surgery desire improved buttock contour. This study presents a novel flap technique to address both volume loss and sagging, enhancing the mid-buttock projection.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Reconstructive Surgery
- Cosmetic Surgery
Background:
- Patients seeking body contouring after weight loss or for cosmetic reasons often experience flattened buttock contours.
- Existing options like gluteal implants and lipografting have limitations in addressing both volume and ptosis.
- Current adipocutaneous flaps often fail to provide adequate volume or projection to the mid-buttock region.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a novel surgical technique for buttock augmentation that addresses both volume deficit and ptosis.
- To achieve a superior gluteal concavity and maximal projection at the midlevel of the buttocks.
Main Methods:
- A new adipocutaneous flap technique is detailed, designed to overcome the limitations of traditional flaps.
- The described flap originates to provide volume and projection to the mid-buttock area, addressing both deficit and ptosis.
Main Results:
- The presented technique aims to provide a versatile solution for buttock contouring.
- It is designed to correct volume deficits and address gluteal ptosis effectively.
- The flap facilitates superior gluteal concavity and optimal mid-level buttock projection.
Conclusions:
- This novel flap technique offers a promising approach to enhance buttock contour in postbariatric and cosmetic surgery patients.
- It effectively addresses both volume augmentation and ptosis correction.
- The method aims to achieve superior aesthetic outcomes with improved mid-buttock projection.

01:13¹H NMR: Complex Splitting
1.9K
A proton M that is coupled to a proton X results in doublet signals for M. However, NMR-active nuclei can be simultaneously coupled to more than one nonequivalent nucleus. When M is coupled to a second proton A, such as in styrene oxide, each peak in the doublet is split into another doublet.
Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied...

01:13¹H NMR Signal Multiplicity: Splitting Patterns
6.9K
When protons A and X are coupled, their nuclear spin energy levels are slightly modified. This is because the energy required to excite proton A to a spin state parallel to proton X is slightly different from the energy required for it to become anti-parallel to spin X. Consequently, there are two possible excitation frequencies for A (A1 and A2), depending on the spin state of X, and vice versa. The mutual nature of coupling implies that the difference between frequencies A1 and A2, indicated...

01:08IR Spectrum Peak Splitting: Symmetric vs Asymmetric Vibrations
1.9K
Identical bonds within a polyatomic group can stretch symmetrically (in-phase) or asymmetrically (out-of-phase). Similar to hydrogen bonding, these vibrations also influence the shape of the IR peak. Generally, asymmetric stretching frequencies are higher than symmetric stretching frequencies. For example, primary amines exhibit two distinct IR peaks between 3300–3500 cm−1 corresponding to the symmetric and asymmetric N-H stretching, while secondary amines exhibit a single...

01:10Interpreting ¹H NMR Signal Splitting: The (n + 1) Rule
2.7K
In the AX proton spin system, proton A can sense the two spin states of a coupled proton X, resulting in a doublet NMR signal with two peaks of equal (1:1) intensity. When proton A is coupled to two equivalent protons (AX2 spin system), the spin states of each X can be aligned with or against the external field, creating three possible scenarios. This results in a 1:2:1 triplet signal, where the central peak corresponds to the chemical shift of A and is twice as large or intense as the...

Since the discovery of the two BER pathways, there has been a debate about how a cell chooses one pathway over the other and the factors determining this selection. Numerous in vitro experiments have pointed out multiple determinants for the sub-pathway selection. These are:

The early pioneers of microscopy opened a window into the invisible world of microorganisms. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes that leveraged nonvisible light, such as fluorescence microscopy that uses an ultraviolet light source and electron microscopy that uses short-wavelength electron beams. These advances significantly improved magnification, image resolution, and contrast. By comparison, the...
