Preoperative Long-term Therapeutic Subcutaneous Heparin Administration into Abdomen: Possible Cause for Nonobstructive Microvascular Flap Failure
Summary:.The anterioabdominal wall is the most common site for low molecular weight heparin administration for anticoagulation, either for prophylactic or for therapeutic indications.Occasionally, this could be associated with damage of the abdominal pannus microvasculature, which could possibly jeopardize the reliability of free abdominal flaps as
Targeting Aedes aegypti Metabolism with Next-Generation Insecticides
Aedes aegypti is the primary vector of dengue virus (DENV), zika virus (ZIKV), and other slider emerging infectious diseases of concern.A key disease mitigation strategy is vector control, which relies heavily on the use of insecticides.The development of insecticide resistance poses a major threat to public health worldwide.Unfortunately, there is
Absolute Quantification of Hepatitis B Core Antigen (HBcAg) Virus-like Particles and Bound Nucleic Acids
Effective process development towards intensified processing for gene delivery applications using Hepatitis B core Antigen (HBcAg) virus-like particles (VLPs) relies on analytical methods for the absolute quantification of HBcAg VLP proteins and bound nucleic acids.We investigated a silica spin column (SC)-based extraction procedure, including prot
