    Abstract Autologous blood-derived therapies have emerged as a unique and promising treatment option for chronic wounds. From whole blood clots to spun-down clot constituents, these therapies are highly versatile and tend to have a lower cost profile, allow for point-of-service preparation, and inherently carry minimal to no risk of rejection or allergic reaction when compared to many alternative cellular and matrix-like products. Subsequently, a diversity of processing systems, devices, and kits have surfaced on the market for preparing autologous blood-derived products (ABDPs) and many have demonstrated preclinical and clinical efficacy in facilitating chronic wound healing. However, not all ABDPs are created equal, and the lack of standardization among product formulations and cell concentrations as well as varying complexities in preparation protocols has led to unreliable substrate viabilities and overall inconsistent conclusions on efficacy. Additionally, external factors, such as the ease of drawing blood, the health of a patient's blood, and the reimbursement landscape have dissuaded some practitioners from incorporating ABDPs into an algorithm of care for recalcitrant wounds. Here, we attempt to categorize ABDPs into "classes" and examine their efficacy, advantages, and limitations when used as both a primary therapy and an adjunct for treating chronic wounds as well as comment on some potential considerations that may help gear future product development and application.

    Abstract Introduction: Scleroderma (systemic sclerosis [SSc]) is a rare autoimmune, connective tissue disorder. Perioral fibrosis is a local cutaneous complication, negatively impacting functional capabilities and aesthetic satisfaction. Fat grafting has been postulated to aid in the management of SSc fibrosis thanks to stem cell enrichment. This technique's success has been demonstrated using different graft origin sites and different injection targets. We aim to demonstrate our SSc patients' success using abdominal fat and perioral target.
    Methods: We queried our records for patients with preexisting SSc who underwent incisional release and fat grafting for perioral fibrosis from 2018 to 2021. For perioral release, a semisharp cannula was tunneled under the vermilion border into the vermilion and along the skin. For grafting, cannulas were used to infiltrate the fat with a retrograde filling technique in a radial-fanning manner. Their autoimmune diagnosis, anesthetic risk assessment, systemic disease complications, and degree of presenting symptoms were reviewed along with their postoperative outcomes.
    Results: From 2018 to 2021, 16 patients diagnosed with SSc were treated with incisional release and fat grafting for the management of perioral fibrosis. Of the SSc patients, 8 presented with limited SSc, and 8 presented with diffuse SSc. The mean patient age was 54.31 years. All SSc patients presented with functional symptoms with the most common concern (n = 9) being "decreased mouth opening." Other common complaints were "difficulty eating" (n = 3) or "difficulty drinking" (n = 2). Some patients (n = 11) also presented with cosmetic concerns with "perioral rhytids" being the most common (n = 6). The mean number of systemic complications, at the time of presentation, was 3.06. The mean anesthetic risk assessment was 2.44. The average amount of fat grafted intraoperatively was 14.89 mL. Two patients with SSc required regrafting. For one patient, this was part of the original treatment plan and for the other due to fat resorption. Patients who followed up reported improved functionality and were pleased aesthetically.
    Conclusions: Patients with perioral fibrosis due to SSc can benefit from autologous fat grafting. Incisional release in combination with fat grafting can enhance procedure outcomes. This technique provides beneficial functional and aesthetic outcomes. Patients with both diffuse and limited disease are appropriate candidates for this procedure.

    Abstract Background and objectives: Ventricular shunting is one of the most common procedures in neurosurgery. However, complications and revisions are frequent. Patients requiring multiple revisions often suffer secondary issues with scalp healing over hardware. Many common ventricular shunt valves have an obligate thickness that creates a visible protrusion and can potentially cause local tissue ischemia and breakdown in the setting of repeated surgery. The authors present a simple technique for recessing the shunt valve into the underlying bone to alleviate protrusion in high-risk cases. Three example cases utilizing this technique are presented.
    Methods: The skull directly underlying the planned valve site is uniformly recessed with a cutting burr several millimeters as desired while maintaining the inner cortical bone layer. The valve is fixed with standard cranial plating hardware.
    Expected outcomes: Three patients are reported who underwent shunt valve recession as an adjunct to their shunt revision with neuroplastic surgery assistance. All patients had undergone multiple prior surgeries that had resulted in thin and high-risk fragile scalp. In 1 patient, the prior valve was eroding through the scalp before the described revision. All patients had satisfactory cosmetic outcomes, and there were no revisions in the 2-month follow-up period.
    Discussion: Complex and high-risk ventricular shunt patients should be considered for shunt valve recession into the bone to reduce wound-related complications and enhance healing. This is a technically simple, safe, and effective technique to include as a neuroplastic adjunct.

    Abstract Coverage of burn wounds is crucial to prevent sequalae including dehydration, wound infection, sepsis, shock, scarring, and contracture. To this end, numerous temporary and permanent options for coverage of burn wounds have been described. Temporary options for burn coverage include synthetic dressings, allografts, and xenografts. Permanent burn coverage can be achieved through skin substitutes, cultured epithelial autograft, ReCell, amnion, and autografting. Here, we aim to summarize the available options for burn coverage, as well as important considerations that must be made when choosing the best reconstructive option for a particular patient.

    Abstract Background: This study aims to establish the significance of social determinants of health and prevalent co-morbidities on multiple indicators for quality of care in patients admitted to the Burn and Surgical Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
    Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of population group data for patients admitted at the Burn and Surgical ICU from January 1, 2016, to November 18, 2019. The primary outcomes were length of hospital stay (LOS), mortality, 30-day readmission, and hospital charges. Pearson's chi-square test for categorical variables and t-test for continuous variables were used to compare population health groups.
    Results: We analyzed a total of 487 burn and 510 surgical patients. When comparing ICU patients, we observed significantly higher mean hospital charges and length of stay (LOS) in BICU v. SICU patients with a history of mental health ($93,259.40 v. $50,503.36, p = 0.013 and 16.28 v. 9.16 days, p = 0.0085), end-stage-renal-disease (ESRD) ($653,871.05 v. $75,746.35, p = 0.0047 and 96.15 v. 17.53 days, p = 0.0104), sepsis ($267,979.60 v. $99,154.41, p = <0.001 and 39.1 v. 18.42 days, p = 0.0043), and venous thromboembolism (VTE) ($757,740.50 v. $117,816.40, p = <0.001 and 93.11 v. 20.21 days, p = 0.002). Also, higher mortality was observed in burn patients with ESRD, ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI), sepsis, VTE, and diabetes mellitus. 30-day-readmissions were greater among burn patients with a history of mental health, drug dependence, heart failure, and diabetes mellitus.
    Conclusions: Our study provides new insights into the variability of outcomes between burn patients treated in different critical care settings, underlining the influence of comorbidities on these outcomes. By comparing burn patients in the BICU with those in the SICU, we aim to highlight how differences in patient backgrounds, including the quality of care received, contribute to these outcomes. This comparison underscores the need for tailored healthcare strategies that consider the unique challenges faced by each patient group, aiming to mitigate disparities in health outcomes and healthcare spending. Further research to develop relevant and timely interventions that can improve these outcomes.

    Abstract Hospitalized patients with a high suspicion of pulmonary tuberculosis (HS-PTB) are isolated until a definite diagnosis can be determined. If doubt remains after negative sputum samples, bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is often sought. Still, evidence of the added value of BAL in this patient population is scarce. To address this issue, we included consecutive HS-PTB patients with negative sputum samples who underwent BAL between 2017 and 2018. Chest X-rays (CXR) and CT scans were evaluated by a chest radiologist blind to the final diagnosis. Independent predictors for PTB were assessed by multivariate regression, using all positive PTB patients between 2017 and 2019 (by sputum or BAL) as a control group (

    Abstract Dorsal hand rejuvenation is gaining popularity as a solitary procedure and adjunct to face and neck rejuvenation treatments. As the hands age, the skin loses elasticity and becomes more translucent, the veins, joints, and tendons appear more prominent, and the bones become more noticeable. These changes are due to intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Current treatment methods include the injection of dermal fillers and autologous fat grafting. Anatomic studies to ensure the successful implementation of rejuvenation procedures identified three separate fascial layers in the dorsum, from superficial to deep. More recent re-evaluations revealed a less distinct, inseparable, sponge-like fascial layer. All authors agree that the superficial dermal layer is probably the optimal location for the injection of volumizing materials because it is free of anatomical structures. Many methods for harvesting, preparing, and injecting fat grafts to the dorsum of the hand have been described in the past three decades. Both filler and fat-graft procedures are performed on an ambulatory basis under local anesthesia. Good results with low postoperative and long-term complication rates and high patient satisfaction have been reported.
