Abstract:
The arterialized venous flap, in which arterial blood flowing through a vein returns to the venous system through the pedicle, was devised to solve the problems of increasing flap size and raising the overall success rate. This flap can obtain satisfactory blood inflow and pressure. The flap was clinically applied to reconstruct skin defects in three cases, with two complete successes and one partial superficial necrosis. This technique provides a flap to cover a relatively large defect, with no shunt formation, and a high success rate.

01:15Veins of Lower Limbs
The human body consists of an intricate network of veins responsible for the crucial task of blood drainage from the lower limbs. These veins can be categorized into two main types: deep veins and superficial veins.
Formed by the union of the medial and lateral plantar veins, the posterior tibial vein, rising through the calf muscle, assimilates the fibular vein. The anterior tibial vein, a superior extension of the foot's dorsalis pedis vein, merges with the posterior tibial vein at the knee,...

01:25Hemodialysis I: Introduction
Hemodialysis (HD) is a medical treatment that artificially removes waste products, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood when the kidneys are no longer able to perform these functions effectively. In this process, blood is filtered through a semipermeable membrane, allowing for the selective removal of waste while preserving necessary components like blood cells and proteins. Hemodialysis is typically performed in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or severe kidney...
