Published: September 2021

Background:People with HIV (PWH) have increased frailty risk at younger ages compared with the general population. Multimorbidity is associated with frailty, yet effects of specific comorbidities on transition to frailty in PWH are unknown.Setting:Prospective study of 219 PWH age 45 years or older in the National NeuroAIDS Tissue Consortium.Methods:Frailty status was categorized using Fried frailty phenotype criteria. Comorbidities [bone disease, cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, liver disease, renal disease, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), hypertension, obesity, cancers, neuropsychiatric conditions] were assessed from longitudinal data. Associations between baseline comorbidities and transition to frailty within 30 months were analyzed using Kaplan–Meier and Cox regression models. Grip strength was assessed using mixed-effects models.Results:At baseline, the median age was 61 years, 73% were male 98% were on antiretroviral therapy, 29% had ≥3 comorbidities, 27% were robust, and 73% were pre-frail. Cerebrovascular disease, diabetes, and COPD were independent predictors of transition to frailty within 30 months in models adjusted for age, sex, and multimorbidity (≥3 additional comorbidities) [hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) 2.52 (1.29 to 4.93), 2.31 (1.12 to 4.76), and 1.82 (0.95 to 3.48), respectively]. Furthermore, cerebrovascular disease, diabetes, COPD, or liver disease co-occurring with multimorbidity was associated with substantially increased frailty hazards compared with multimorbidity alone (hazard ratios 4.75–7.46). Cerebrovascular disease was associated with decreased baseline grip strength (P =0.0001), whereas multimorbidity, diabetes, and COPD were associated with declining grip strength (P< 0.10).Conclusions:In older PWH, cerebrovascular disease, diabetes, COPD, or liver disease co-occurring with multimorbidity is associated with substantially increased risk of becoming frail within 30 months. Interventions targeting these comorbidities may ameliorate frailty and age-related functional decline in PWH.

Published: September 2021

Introduction:
Recent studies project thousands of additional AIDS-related deaths because of COVID-19–related disruptions in HIV care. However, the extent to which disruptions in care have materialized since the start of the pandemic is not well understood.

Methods:
We use electronic health records to investigate how the pandemic has affected clinic visits, patients' antiretroviral therapy (ART) supply, and viral suppression for a cohort of 14,632 HIV clients from a large HIV clinic in Kampala, Uganda. We complement this with an analysis of electronically measured longitudinal ART adherence data from a subcohort of 324 clients.

Results:
Clinic visits decreased by more than 50% after a national lockdown started. The risk of patients running out of ART on a given day increased from 5% before the lockdown to 25% 3 months later (Relative Risk Ratio of 5.11, 95% confidence interval: 4.99 to 5.24) and remained higher than prelockdown 6 months later at 13% (Relative Risk Ratio of 2.60; 95% confidence interval: 2.52 to 2.70). There was no statistically significant change in electronically measured adherence or viral suppression.

Conclusion:
We document substantial gaps in HIV care after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in Uganda. This suggests that measures to improve access should be explored as the pandemic persists. However, ART adherence was unaffected for the subcohort for whom we measured electronic adherence. This suggests that some clients may have stockpiles of ART tablets from previous prescriptions that allowed them to keep taking their medication even when they could not visit the clinic for ART refills.
18F-FDG-Detected Brown Tumor Confined to the Maxillary Bone With Parathyroid Adenoma

Published: September 2021

Abstract
Brown tumor is a reactive osteolytic lesion associated with hyperparathyroidism and an extremely rare form of a single lesion in the maxilla. We report the case of a 57-year-old woman with renal dysfunction, nasal obstruction, and hypercalcemia. MRI and CT revealed a huge osteolytic lesion in the maxilla. 18F-FDG PET/CT demonstrated marked FDG uptake within the mass and the lower-left lobe of the thyroid gland. 99mTc-methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile scintigraphy suggested that this accumulation was a parathyroid adenoma. Parathyroid adenoma resection was performed, and the maxillary tumor was diagnosed as brown tumor. FDG PET/CT was helpful in evaluating brown tumor and detecting parathyroid adenoma.

Published: September 2021

Purpose:
Patients with pneumonia often present to the emergency department (ED) and require prompt diagnosis and treatment. Clinical decision support systems for the diagnosis and management of pneumonia are commonly utilized in EDs to improve patient care. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a deep learning model for detecting radiographic pneumonia and pleural effusions can improve functionality of a clinical decision support system (CDSS) for pneumonia management (ePNa) operating in 20 EDs.

Materials and Methods:
In this retrospective cohort study, a dataset of 7434 prior chest radiographic studies from 6551 ED patients was used to develop and validate a deep learning model to identify radiographic pneumonia, pleural effusions, and evidence of multilobar pneumonia. Model performance was evaluated against 3 radiologists’ adjudicated interpretation and compared with performance of the natural language processing of radiology reports used by ePNa.

Results:
The deep learning model achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.833 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.795, 0.868) for detecting radiographic pneumonia, 0.939 (95% CI: 0.911, 0.962) for detecting pleural effusions and 0.847 (95% CI: 0.800, 0.890) for identifying multilobar pneumonia. On all 3 tasks, the model achieved higher agreement with the adjudicated radiologist interpretation compared with ePNa.

Conclusions:
A deep learning model demonstrated higher agreement with radiologists than the ePNa CDSS in detecting radiographic pneumonia and related findings. Incorporating deep learning models into pneumonia CDSS could enhance diagnostic performance and improve pneumonia management.
A Novel Approach to Virtual Surgical Planning for Mandibular and Midfacial Reconstruction With a Fibula Free Flap
Authors: Kalachi Kourosh , Highstein Mallory J. , Shikara Meryam , Hirsch Jeffrey , Vakharia Kalpesh T. 
Published: September 2021

Background:
The fibula free flap is a major workhorse in facial reconstruction. To decrease operative times, virtual surgical planning (VSP) has been implemented. Traditional VSP is costly and may delay operative planning. in this study, the authors present a novel algorithm using readily accessible software packages to perform VSP in a manner that is quick and cost-effective.

Methods:
A 6-part survey was administered to physicians with prior training in facial reconstruction. Fourteen physicians participated regarding outcomes on 10 patients who underwent mandibular or midfacial fibula free flap reconstruction. Participants were asked to match the true postoperative and VSP models and rate the similarity of the models using the Likert scale (0–10). The goal was to determine whether the VSP models accurately depicted the actual reconstruction, and whether they would use VSP in future clinical practice.

Results:
The physicians surveyed were able to match the models correctly 93.6% of the time. The mean score for the similarity between virtual and actual models ranged between 7.60 and 8.80. Most participants (90.9%) who answered stated they would use our VSP algorithm if they were trained in the protocol.

Conclusions and Relevance:
Virtual surgical planning models were created utilizing our novel algorithm. Participants matched the preoperative VSP plan with the postoperative model most of the time and rated the similarity well. Participants in our study are interested in learning more about physician performed VSP. The authors believe this model may be financially and clinically relevant and serve as an excellent educational tool.
Repair Sequence and Management of the Premaxilla in Patients With Bilateral Cleft Lip and Palate: A Systematic Review of the Literature
Authors: Chang Irene A. , Bassiri Gharb Bahar , Papay Francis A. , Rampazzo Antonio 
Published: September 2021

Background:
Bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) remains a difficult surgical problem due to the severely protruding premaxillary segment, with no consensus of optimal treatment sequence in older patients. A systematic review of the literature was performed to assess the current status of BCLP repair based on age.

Methods:
A PRISMA systematic review of the PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases was performed using a series of search terms related to BCLP. Studies were categorized based on the age of presentation, repair sequence, and technique.

Results:
The database search identified 381 articles. Of these, 72 manuscripts were ultimately included. The lip was repaired first in 1077 patients (86.0%), palate first in 161 patients (12.9%), and simultaneous lip and palate in 14 patients (1.1%). Patients less than 6 months old received lip repair first (n = 959, 98.6%), with complications of unaesthetic appearance (n = 86, 62.3%) and midface retrusion (n = 41, 34.1%) in younger patients and wound dehiscence (n = 8, 40%) in older patients. Primary lip repair was preceded by presurgical orthopedics (n = 760) or lip adhesion (n = 272) to reduce lip tension with nasoalveolar molding (n = 452, 62.9%) or the Latham device (n = 282, 37.1%). In older patients, the palate was repaired first or premaxillary setback (n = 222) was indicated in protruded premaxillae greater than 10 mm, but carried the risk of premaxilla mobility (n = 20, 37.7%) and midface retrusion (n = 10, 18.9%).

Conclusion:
In younger patients, lip repair is performed first with preoperative orthopedics or lip adhesion. In older patients, the palate is more commonly repaired first compared with the lip; however, there is no difference in complication rate.
Stepwise Reconstruction of a Large, Self-Inflicted Calvarial Defect
Authors: Junn Alexandra , Dinis Jacob , Kahle Kristopher T. , Alperovich Michael 
Published: September 2021

Background and Importance:
Scalp expansion ensures that tissue similar in color, texture, thickness, and most importantly, hairbearing quality, is available to resurface the scalp. It is a critical option for reconstruction of large calvarial defects.

Clinical Presentation:
Over 6months, a 55-year-old male patient excoriated his scalp into a full-thickness scalp and calvarial wound resulting in dural violation and meningitis. The patient presented with altered mental status and methicillin-susceptible staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) bacteremia, cranial osteomyelitis, and an intracranial abscess secondary to the large scalp defect. The patient underwent immediate debridement and dural coverage with a scalp rotational flap. Several months later he began delayed stepwise cranioplasty with multiple scalp tissue expanders given the deficiency of soft tissue.

Conclusions:
This case is presented to highlight the unusual mechanism of injury and the complex reconstructive approach in surgical management.
A Rare Case of Craniocervical Penetrating Injury by a Steel Bar
Authors: Liu Yuan-qin , Zhang Qing-lu , Fan Xiao-yong , Zhang Ming-kun , Liu Guang-cun 
Published: September 2021

Rationale:
Non-missile penetrating injuries caused by foreign bodies, such as knives or sharp wood, are infrequent. We report a 49-year-old male suffering from severe craniocervical penetrating injury by a steel bar was successfully treated by surgery.

Chief Complaint:
The male patient was a 49-year-old builder. Although working on the construction site, an approximately 60 cm steel bar penetrated the patient's brain vertically through the left top of the head presenting with unconsciousness and intermittent irritability.

Diagnosis:
Computed tomography of the head showed the entrance and exit of the skull damaged by the steel bar. Three-dimensional reconstruction showed that the steel bar entered the skull from the posterior left coronal suture and penetrated the ipsilateral occipital bone, about 5 cm into the neck soft tissue.

Intervention:
We successfully performed the operation and removed the steel bar.

Outcomes:
The patient was followed up for 5 years; muscle strength returned to normal.

Lessons:
Penetrating injuries caused by steel bars are rare, which always cause severe intracranial injury combined with peripheral tissue injury, by sharing our experience in the treatment of this rare case, we hope to provide a reference for similar injuries in the future.

Authors: Li Zhu , Chen Kunjian , Yang Jiayu , Pan Lei , Wang Zhen , Yang Panfeng , Wu Sufan , Li Jingyu 
Published: September 2021

Objective:
This paper puts forward a new method for automatic segmentation of bony orbit as well as automatic extraction and classification of aging features of segmented orbit contour based on depth learning, with which the aging mode of bony orbit contour is preliminarily validated.

Method:
Three-dimensional reconstruction was carried out by using the craniofacial Computed Tomography scanning data of 595 adult Mongolians at different ages (119 young males, 78 young females, 109 middle-aged males, 89 middle-aged females, 95 elderly males, and 105 elderly females), the craniofacial images were exported, orbit contour images were obtained with U-Net segmentation network, and then the orbit contour features of young group, the middle-aged group and the elderly group were classified with the classification network. Next, contour area, height, and other features put forward in existing research were automatically calculated by using the connected component shape description method; and it was validated whether the aging features of the bony orbit only occur to partial or the whole orbit.

Results:
With the method put forward in this paper, high-precision identification (97.94% and 99.18%) of 3 categories in the male and female group experiments. In the meanwhile, it was found in the comparison experiment with other features that bony orbit contour definitely has features relating to aging, but these features only occur to partial areas of the orbit, which enables the convolutional neural network to achieve good identification effects. And, bone resorption of the superior orbital rim of males is more obvious than that of the inferior orbital rim, but the overall shape features like the bony orbit area and height do not change significantly along with the increase of the age.

Conclusions:
U-Net can realize high-precision segmentation of the orbit contour, and with the Convolutional Neural Network-based orbit contour sorting algorithm, the aging degree of the bony orbit can be identified precisely. It is preliminarily validated that the aging mode of Mongolian bony orbit contour is that the bone resorption of the superior orbital rim is more obvious than that of the inferior orbital rim, and the change of the orbit area, perimeter, height and circularity is not obvious in the aging process.

Authors: Garg Ravi K. , O’Connor Michaela K. , Sterling David A. , Jacob Laya , Hammoudeh Jeffrey A. , Andrews Brian T. 
Published: September 2021

Background:
Although pathology in the maxillary and mandibular bones is rare in young patients, the differential diagnosis is broad. The World Health Organization (WHO) updated its classification of maxillofacial bone pathology in 2017. Using these updated guidelines, a systematic review of common maxillofacial bone lesions in the pediatric population was performed.

Methods:
A PubMed search was conducted capturing English language articles from inception to July 2020. Thirty-one articles were identified that described the frequency of maxillofacial bone pathology. Data were extracted and organized using the WHO 2017 classification of odontogenic and maxillofacial bone tumors. Prevalence data were analyzed among diagnostic categories and geographical regions. The SAS version 9.4 was used to complete statistical analyses.

Results:
The articles included patients from birth to a maximum age of 14 to 19 years. The most common odontogenic cysts included radicular cyst (42.7%) and dentigerous cyst (39.0%) followed by odontogenic keratocyst (15.0%). Among odontogenic bone tumors, odontoma (49.3%) was most common followed by ameloblastoma (29.1%). The most common nonodontogenic bone tumor was fibrous dysplasia (42.4%), and the most common malignant bone tumor was osteosarcoma (75.0%). Significant variations were found by geographic region, with dentigerous cyst more common than radicular cyst, and ameloblastoma more common than odontoma in African and Asian countries (P < 0.0001).

Conclusions:
This systematic review uses the WHO 2017 guidelines to classify common odontogenic and nonodontogenic maxillofacial bone lesions around the world. Pathogenesis, presentation, and available treatment options for the most common maxillofacial bone lesions are reviewed.

Objective:
To evaluate the feasibility and clinical effect of facial-submental artery island flap (FSAIF) in the repair of palatal defects, and to provide reference for the clinical application of submental artery island flap.

Methods:
Nine patients with palatal defects, the range of nasal palatal perforation defects were 3 cm × 4cm to 3 cm × 6 cm (median 3 cm × 5.4 cm), were repaired by FSAIF, and the sizes of FSAIF were 4 cm × 9cm to 4 cm × 12 cm (median 4 cm × 10.4 cm,). Postoperative clinical efficacy was evaluated, including infection and necrosis of mucosal flap and postoperative palatal fistula perforation. Patients were followed up to evaluate their chewing, swallowing, speech function, and satisfaction of appearance.

Results:
All patients were successfully repaired with FSAIF. Followed up 13∼35 months, there was no palatal fistula perforation in all patients. The speech, agitation, and swallowing function were not affected and the patients were satisfied with the appearance.

Conclusion:
FSAIF is a safe and reliable method for palatal defect repair.
Retrospective Study of the Epidemiological Profile of Facial Trauma Related to Violence
Authors: Caldeira Leticía , Borges Hully , Simonetti Taíse , Freddo Angelo Luiz , Corsetti Adriana 
Published: September 2021

AbstractFacial trauma is now considered an epidemic due to its high incidence. This type of injury represents an impact on the social, psychological and professional life of the victim. It may be associated with poor protection and exposure of this region of the body, as well as with the attempt to disfigure the face of victims of aggression, to affect their identity and self-image. This study aims to carry out an epidemiological survey on the profile of facial trauma related to violence at the First Aid Hospital of Porto Alegre from November 2015 to July 2016. In this retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study, data such as age and sex of the patient, type of trauma, anatomical region, etiology, and reasons for the aggression of patients’ records were analyzed using the Chi-Square test in Paws Statistics 18 software, evaluatingP < 0.05. During the period evaluated, 1224 cases were recorded. The most prevalent sex was male. The age group with the most injuries varied from 21 to 40. The most affected type of lesion was soft tissue injury. Scalp regions (parietal, occipital, temporal) and multiple regions were the most affected in males, differing from females, where the frontal and nasal regions were the most predominant. Violence is a major risk factor for facial trauma in adult patients and it is from epidemiological studies like this that we have the possibility to know the magnitude and severity of the results of violence, allowing the definition of public policies for coping.
Clinical T4b Squamous Cell Carcinoma Resection With Hemimandibulectomy and Temporomandibular Joint Reconstruction With Bridging Plate and Modified Dautrey Procedure
Authors: Shih Hao , Lee Jian-Jr , Lin Yu-Ting 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
Clinical T4b oral squamous cell carcinoma is traditionally considered nonoperable. We present a case of right mandibular squamous cell carcinoma (PT4bN0M0, stage IVB). The tumor had extended to the right mandibular condylar head and masticatory space. The patient received right modified radical neck dissection and radical operation with hemimandibulectomy to remove the right mandibular condyle. Then, we reconstructed the resected portion with an anterior lateral thigh free flap and bridging plate, which was bent to form an artificial condyle and fixed using the modified Dautrey procedure. The patient had stable postoperative occlusion and normal hinge movement of the temporomandibular joint. After postoperative concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the patient is under regular out patient department follow-up with satisfactory jaw function and oral intake.

Published: September 2021

Abstract
Infantile hemangiomas are the most common benign childhood tumors and can occur on any part of the human body. Sclerosing agents are used in the early stage of treatment of infantile hemangioma. Sometimes a lip defect remains after sclerosing agent treatment. We developed a simple technique to repair lip defects. The authors performed transposition mucosal flap and autologous fat transplantation surgery on patients who had lip defects caused by sclerosing agents. The flap was transposed 90° from the intraoral labial mucosa to the vermilion defect. Autologous fat was transplanted to the white lip defect. If necessary, a secondary fat transplantation may be performed every half year. All patients were followed up to evaluate the effect of the operation. Patients were asked to rate their satisfaction with the surgery between 1 and 10. Digital three-dimensional evaluation was performed. Sixteen patients underwent the surgery successfully, and the flaps were all viable. No complications occurred after surgery (5 males, 11 females; age range, 5–27 years; 12 upper lip, 3 lower lip, and 1 median lip). The patients were satisfied with the aesthetic outcome of surgery (mean score, 9). Seven patients wanted to undergo a second fat transplantation, whereas 9 patients felt it was unnecessary to transplant fat again. Transposition mucosal flap combined with autologous fat transplantation is reliable and minimally invasive. It is an effective method for repairing moderate lip defects mainly involving vermilion caused by a sclerosing agent.
