      Background: Tobacco use is associated with a high incidence of skin necrosis after surgery. the ideal timing for the cessation of tobacco use before plastic surgery has not, however, been precisely determined. the aim of ...

    • Electroporation of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Gene in a Unipedicle Transverse Rectus Abdominis Myocutaneous Flap Reduces Necrosis 

      Rezende, Fernando C. [UNIFESP]; Gomes, Heitor C.; Lisboa, Bianca; Lucca, Aldrein F. [UNIFESP]; Han, Sang W.; Ferreira, Lydia M. (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2010-02-01)
      Necrosis in TRAM (transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous) still occurs in flap breast reconstruction. Blood flow may be improved by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), an endogenous protein that stimulates ...

    • Ultrastructural identification of dentate granule cell death from pilocarpine-induced seizures
