Oxidative stress was found to be increased in cases of melasma compared to the control group in this study. This substantiates the role of oxidative stress in etiopathogenesis of melasma; however, further studies are required to reach a definitive conclusion.
were independent predictors of amputation and functional limb at follow-up in our logistic regression model (P < .05). The median length of stay was 11 days, and 25% of patients were discharged to a skilled nursing facility. Follow-up was available for 59% of patients, and for UE injuries, 57% of patients had no or minimal functional deficits, 33% had major functional deficits, and 10% had undergone amputation. For LE injuries, 68% of patients had no or minimal functional deficits, 6% had major functional deficits, and 26% had undergone amputation. Conclusions: Revascularization for traumatic ALI yields high LS in patients with Rutherford classification 1 and 2 ischemia and in patients with UE injuries. However, LS does not necessarily equate to good functional outcomes, likely signifying the complex injuries in these patients requiring multiple operations to attain LS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
