Overview of Transposition and Recombination02:13

Overview of Transposition and Recombination

18.8K
Transposons make up a significant part of genomes of various organisms. Therefore, it is believed that transposition played a major evolutionary role in speciation by changing genome sizes and modifying gene expression patterns. For example, in bacteria, transposition can lead to conferring antibiotic resistance. Movement of transposable elements within the genetic pool of pathogenic bacteria can aid in transfer of antibiotic-resistant genetic elements. In eukaryotes, transposons can carry out...

Engineered Vascularized Muscle Flap

8.6K
To date, thick tissue defects are typically reconstructed by applying autologous tissue flaps or engineered tissues. In this protocol, we present a new method for engineering vascularized tissue flap bearing an autologous pedicle, to serve as a substitute to autologous flaps.

Measuring the Contralateral Silent Period Induced by Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

This video demonstrates a technique for measuring the contralateral silent period (cSP) using transcranial magnetic stimulation. Position the patient's hand prone and place an electrode on the first dorsal interosseous (FDI) muscle. Then, place a force-measuring device between the thumb and index finger. Identify the primary motor cortex (M1) region of the brain. Maintain a standardized pressure on the force-measuring device and stimulate the M1 region to record the muscle activity, termed the...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Classic transposition flaps (TF) utilize a single random pattern lobe for defect coverage.
  • Modifications like Limberg and Dufourmentel rhombic flaps, and unilateral multi-lobed flaps are well-documented.
  • The contralateral double TF is a rarely cited variation in surgical literature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and highlight the contralateral double transposition flap as a surgical modification.
  • To expand the repertoire of available transposition flap techniques for reconstructive purposes.
  • To document a rarely mentioned variation in flap design.

Main Methods:

  • Review of surgical literature focusing on transposition flap modifications.
  • Description of the anatomical and surgical principles of the contralateral double TF.
  • Comparison with commonly used transposition flap variations.

Main Results:

  • The contralateral double TF is a rarely mentioned modification.
  • This technique offers an alternative to standard transposition flaps.
  • It provides an additional option for reconstructive surgeons.

Conclusions:

  • The contralateral double TF is a valuable, albeit uncommon, surgical technique.
  • Further research and clinical application are needed to fully establish its utility.
  • This flap modification can enhance reconstructive surgery outcomes.
