Objectives Osseous microvascular free tissue transfer (MFTT) is the gold standard for reconstruction for most segmental mandibulectomy defects.The most common osseous MFTT utilized in reconstruction is the fibular, scapular, and osteocutaneous radial Bus Bin Racks forearm (OCRF) free flap.We evaluated postoperative bone union as well as clinical co
Ion acceleration with an ultra-intense two-frequency laser tweezer
Ultra-intense lasers produce and manipulate plasmas, allowing to locally generate extremely high static and electromagnetic fields.This study presents a concept of an ultra-intense optical tweezer, where two counter-propagating circularly polarized intense lasers of different frequencies collide on a nano-foil.Interfering inside the foil, lasers pr
Does the South African Physiotherapy Journal fulfill the needs of its constituency? A retrospective article review
Professional journals are used to disseminate the knowledge of scholars in the profession and to provide clinicians with guidance for best practice.This article aimed to retrospectively review the role of the South African Journal of Physiotherapy and its contribution to the profession.An archival research design was used to collect information fro
Gut dysbiosis was inevitable, but tolerance was not: temporal responses of the murine microbiota that maintain its capacity for butyrate production correlate with sustained antinociception to chronic morphine
The therapeutic benefits of opioids are compromised by the development of analgesic tolerance, which necessitates higher dosing for pain management thereby increasing the liability for drug dependence and addiction.Rodent models indicate opposing roles of the gut microbiota in tolerance: Straw Hats morphine-induced gut dysbiosis exacerbates toleran
