correction of iatrogenic floating toe following resection of the base of the proximal phalanx. | for many decades, resecting the base of the proximal phalanx was a popular method of correcting hammertoes. the long-term result of the procedure, however, is a flail, proximally retracted, "floating" toe. correction of this challenging surgical problem can be accomplished with a v-y advancement flap and specific releases. | 2010 | 2937523 |
determinants of mortality in pediatric patients with greater than 70% full-thickness total body surface area thermal injury treated by early total excision and grafting. | recent advancements in burn care have improved the survival rates of victims with severe burn injuries. the total mortality rate in a series of 1,057 pediatric patients admitted to shriners burns institute galveston unit between 1982 and 1986 was 2.7%. the burn size resulting in a 50% death rate was 95% of the total body surface area (tbsa). in this study 19 survivors and 13 nonsurvivors with greater than 70% full-thickness tbsa burn injuries were compared. all survivors were adequately resuscit ... | 2012 | 3546714 |
microcomputer basic program to calculate the probability of graft and patient survival in renal transplantation. | a basic program was written for the estimation of the probability of graft and patient survival in renal transplantation on a microcomputer. the program was developed for single-centre statistics in renal transplant units and uses the life table and logrank test method for calculation of survival rates. the program structure is described in detail to make rewriting easy. it is hoped that this report will help transplant centres without access to main-frame computers to develop user-friendly soft ... | 2012 | 3282769 |
