Abstract: This case reports a case of transection of common carotid artery (CCA) resulting in cerebral ischemia and stroke in 21-year-old-man. A patient was operated after 12 hours from penetrating trauma of CCA with favorable result. Hemiparesis disappeared on the fifth day, subsequently performing the surgery. Speech recovered within the month since the operation took place.

Abstract: Facial artery is usually the main artery supplying the face. It gives three named branches on the face, the inferior labial, the superior labial and the lateral nasal and continues as the angular artery. Face is also supplied by the transverse facial artery and the arteries accompanying the cutaneous nerves. In our present case report, we observed that the lingual and facial arteries were originating from the front of External Carotid artery (ECA) as a common linguofacial trunk on the left side and coursed upwards towards the mandible for about 1.2 cm and then divided into facial and lingual arteries. We observed that the facial artery terminated as Inferior labial artery as end artery (without anastomoses). The other branches for the face namely Superior labial, lateral nasal and angular arteries are arises from the Transverse facial artery. Conclusion: In this study, we noticed that a variation in the morphological aspect of arterial pattern of face, until then not documented. In this sense, the objective of this study was to report a variation of the facial artery and to analyze it relative to the literature state of the art. The present case may provide useful information in different fields of oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Abstract: Introduction. During a classical dermotension operation usually skin incision is usually performed, a cellulocutaneous flap is mobilized, i.e. a subcutaneous pocket is created wherein an expander is inserted. Then the wound is closed and the process of filling the elastic bulb begins after the stage of stable wound cicatrization being reached. Material and Methods. A new dermotension method is proposed, which is essentially a creation of a subcutaneous cavity by means of subcutaneous dissection without incisions, through punctures, with subsequent gradual stretching of the skin area with the help of the gel component. Results. Since 1995 the gel dermotension method has been applied in 33 cases to the areas of the face, upper/lower limbs and the trunk of the body. The operations were performed effortlessly and quickly occasionally followed by a slight post-operational syndrome noticed. The dermotension process began on the first day. A sound plastic material thus achieved was used for its designated purpose on the second stage. Conclusions. The presented method is cost-effective, the first stage is minimally invasive while the dermotension process is accelerated by 12 to 14 days.

Abstract: The assessment of a trainee doctor’s performance in a clinical setup is not only challenging and important, but is also necessary to assure standards, judge competence to practice, set targets for improvements, and most importantly to protect patients. Multi source feedback (MSF) / Mini-Pat (Mini Peer Assessment Tool) / Team Assessment Behavior (TAB) are formative assessment tools that were developed to assess the professional behaviors and attitudes in health professionals, and to continually improve an individual’s team working skills. This article critically evaluates the use of Team Assessment Behavior (TAB) as an assessment tool for professional behavior in trainee doctors in the U.K, and concludes whether it is an ideal tool for improving professional behavior in trainee doctors.
