Descripción: Separating the Helix From the Antihelix A New Concept in Prominent Ear Correction. Background: For over a century, various otoplasty techniques for correction of the prominent ear have been attempted. Nevertheless, cartilage memory strength, mainly in the thick cartilage (and consequently the recurrence of the prominence), still remains a problem. An additional difficulty relates to the antihelix irregularities caused by attempts to weaken the cartilage spring, which are timeconsuming and in some cases lead to an innaturallooking result.

Descripción: 3 Cases of Dissecting Cellulitis of the Scalp Treated With Adalimumab. Control of Inflammation Within Residual Structural Disease.
Background: Dissecting cellulitis of the scalp (DCS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of scalp hair follicles manifesting as multiple painful nodules and abscesses that interconnect via sinus tracts. The disease tends to run a progressive course that eventually results in scarring alopecia. The condition is thought to represent a follicular occlusion disorder. Sebaceous and keratinous material within dilated pilosebaceous units accumulates until follicles burst, with subsequent neutrophilic inflammatory reaction and abscess formation. Treatment remains unsatisfactory. While oral antibiotics, intralesional corticosteroids, isotretinoin, or dapsone are insufficient, in this case series the inflammation responsible for scarifying tissue destruction was directly targeted by means of the tumor necrosis factor antagonist adalimumab.

Descripción: A double triangular flap, or hatchet flap, with a partial cutaneous pedicle, has great versatility for facial reconstruction, yet there has been little published discussion regarding the potential applications and/or modifications of the flap. A total of 483 cutaneous malignant neoplasms have been excised and repaired by the senior author (C.C.M.) using a modified bilateral hatchet flap; 366 of the neoplasms were located in the head and neck region. The flap has been used to reconstruct defects in the scalp, eyebrow, lower eyelid, nasal tip, cheek, chin, arms, and torso. The authors report no cases of flap loss. The design of the flap and modification, used by the authors, has been discussed in detail, along with a description of 4 representative cases.

Descripción: La Fibrosis Sistémica Progresiva (NSF) es una condición esclerótica de la piel, que ocurre en pacientes con enfermedad renal severa.

Se trata de una rara enfermedad de origen desconocido, descrita en 2000 por Cowper et al. Afecta algunos pacientes renales en manejo con diálisis después de usar gadolinium como agente de contraste en Resonancia Magnética Nuclear (IRM). Se caracteriza por fibrosis progresiva de la piel de extremidades, incluyendo algunas veces el tronco y los órganos internos.

Se analizó el curso clínico de 10 pacientes, confirmados por biopsia como NSF, con énfasis en la movilidad física.
