SHAPE OPTIMIZATION OF COSTAL CARTILAGE FRAMEWORK FABRICATION BASED ON FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS FOR REDUCING INCIDENCE OF AURICULAR RECONSTRUCTION COMPLICATIONS

Shape Optimization of Costal Cartilage Framework Fabrication Based on Finite Element Analysis for Reducing Incidence of Auricular Reconstruction Complications

Skin necrosis is the most common complication in total auricular reconstruction, which is mainly induced by vascular compromise and local stress concentration of the overlying skin.Previous studies generally emphasized the increase in the skin flap blood supply, while few reports considered the mechanical factors.However, skin injury is inevitable

Are dogs with congenital hearing and/or vision impairments so different from sensory normal dogs? A survey of demographics, morphology, health, behaviour, communication, and activities.

The births of domestic dogs with pigment deletion and associated congenital hearing and/or vision impairments are increasing, as a result of mutations of certain genes expressing popular coat colour patterns (Merle, piebald, Irish spotting).The future of these dogs is often pessimistic Specimen Collection - Specimen Collection Kits (early euthanasi
