Abstract The neural basis for epilepsy and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is currently incompletely known. We reported a young girl with both epilepsy and ADHD, who had a calcified lesion in the right basolateral amygdalo-hippocampal region extending to the ventral striatum. The child underwent disconnecting surgery and biopsy of the lesion. Fascinatingly, the child’s behavior changed immediately after the surgery from inattentive and impulsive to nearly normal...

Abstrct Consecutive or simultaneous contralateral breast reduction is a frequent request from patients undergoing unilateral breast reconstruction. Both procedures can be combined using otherwise discarded tissue as a split breast graft for reconstruction of the contralateral side. There have been few reports on the use of pedicled split breast grafts. We present a 75‐year‐old female with multicentric mammary carcinoma following chemotherapy, mastectomy, axillary lymph node dissection and radiotherapy....

Abstract Introduction In the last years, limb salvage has become the gold standard treatment over amputation. Today, 90% of extremity osteogenic sarcomas can be treated with limb salvage surgery. However, these reconstructions are not exempt from complications. Massive allografts have been associated to high risk of nonunion (12–57%), fracture (7–30%) and infection (5–21%). Association of vascularized periosteum flap to a massive bone allograft (MBA) has shown to halve the average time of allograft...

In this paper, we develop and validate an osteometry‐based mechanistic approach to calculation of available range of motion (aROM) in presacral intervertebral joints in sagittal bending (SB), lateral bending (LB), and axial rotation (AR). Our basic assumption was the existence of a mechanistic interrelation between the geometry of zygapophysial articular facets and aROM. Trigonometric formulae are developed for aROM calculation, of which the general principle is that the angle of rotation is given...
