The purpose of this study is to review the management and running of the Helsinki Skin Bank between the years 2001 and 2008. Further aims were to assess the microbiological safety of the glycerol-preserved allograft skin and analyse its clinical use. The files of the Helsinki Skin Bank were reviewed for allograft ...

Free groin flap donor skin is unequaled in generous skin supply and inconspicuousness. We reliably utilize this region by taking advantage of the dual blood supply from superficial circumlex iliac (SCIA) and superficial inferior epigastric (SIEA) arteries and name the flap "Free SCIA/SIEA skin flap." The arterial pedicle is selected ...

Naked eye observation has up to recently been the main method of determining skin erythema (vasodilatation) and blanching (vasoconstriction) in skin testing. Since naked eye observation is a highly subjective and investigatordependent method, it is difficult to attain reproducibility and to compare results reported by different researchers performing their ...

Coated microneedles have been shown to deliver proteins and DNA into the skin in a minimally invasive manner. However, detailed studies examining coating methods and their breadth of applicability are lacking. This study's goal was to develop a simple, versatile and controlled microneedle coating process to make uniform coatings on microneedles and ...

We describe a technique modification of the 'many tailed' flaps for multiple digital defects in adjacent digits described in 1980. This is a versatile technique for providing cover to multiple palmar and dorsal defects of the digits, avoiding the need to syndactylize digits, and when it is not desirable or adequate to perform multiple local flaps to cover the losses. The ...

. mannequin) the use of a different color projection offers the highest versatility and most economical option of light reflected by a mannequin under the same experimental conditions. Figure 4 shows the spectra of the mannequin (in dashed lines) and the spectra of the back of the hand of four of our volunteers of different

Access to the article is free, however registration and sign-in are required. In his Perspective, Engel discusses the diverse structural features of collagens, a ubiquitous fibrillar protein that forms the main support of skin and tendons. A unique example is reported in this issue by Coyne et al., who describe the amino acid sequence of the specialized collagen that forms the ...
