which glands of the eye prevent evaporation of tears?

what is G' (in regard to fillers)? 

represents elasticity 

higher G' = better resistance to spreading out which makes it better for deep structural injection (i.e. deep placement)

4. flexor hallicis longus & tibialis posterior -> free fibula (peroneal artery)

300

what are the stages of SLAC wrist and treatment? 

Stage 1: arthritis of the radial styloid. Tx: radial styloidectomy or PIN/AIN denervation

Stage 2: arthritis of the scaphoid and entire scaphoid fossa of distal radius. Tx: proximal row carpectomy or four corner fusion

Stage 3: arthritis of the lunate and capitate and eventually scapholunate dissociation. Tx: proximal row carpectomy (if no arthritis at the capitolunate surface), wrist fusion, silicone wrist arthoplasty


300

In ear reconstruction: what are mustarde sutures? what are furnas sutures? 

Mustarde: recreates the antithetical fold with mattress sutures

Furnas: fixes the conchal bowl to the mastoid periosteum

- salicylic -> superficial (epidermis) 

- Jessner's -> medium (papillary dermis) 

- TCA 10% -> superficial (epidermis) 


300

what side effects are associated with

- silver nitrate

- silver sulfadiazine

- mafenide acetate

- silver nitrate -> electrolyte disturbance (hyponatremia, hypochloremia) 

- silver sulfadiazine -> leukopenia

- mafenide acetate -> metabolic acidosis

400

what are the uses for the following rhinoplasty grafts:

lateral crural strut graft

spreader graft

subdomal graft

alar batten graft

lateral crural strut graft -> reconstruct the lower lateral cartilage/prevent external valve collapse, alar retraction

spreader graft -> widens middle vault, correct internal valve collapse, correct inverted V deformity, correct dorsal aesthetic lines

subdomal graft -> corrects "pinched nose", tip support when dome sutures alone don't work, softens harsh tip definition

alar batten graft -> splints external valve, corrects overresection, corrects pinched tip

Mechanism of action for types of lymphedema: 

- lymphedema tarda?

- filiarisis? 

- podoconiosis?

- lymphedema tarda -> congenital underdevelopment or dysfunction of the lymphatic system. The mechanism involves genetic mutations (e.g., FOXC2 or GATA2) Onset is after 35 yrs

- filiarisis? -> worm Wucheria bancrafti. Mosquito larvae mechanically block lymphatic ducts

- podoconiosis? barefoot walkers walk on silica in the soil -> particles collect in skin then collect in lymphatics and causes sub endothelial lymphedema
