No dinner for Max? Depends on what he?s had to eat.
The night Max wore his wolf suit and made mischief of one kind and another, his mother called him ?WILD THING!? and Max said, ?I?LL EAT YOU UP!,? and was sent to bed without eating anything.
I have read Maurice Sendak?s book ?Where the Wild Things Are? to my kids dozens of times. But I never stopped to think about what it means to send a kid to bed without eating, especially as a punishment for making mischief.

Limited Reduction Cranioplasty for the Treatment of Hydrocephalic Macrocephaly
Background: Hydrocephalic macrocephaly, occurring despite adequate cerebrospinal fluid shunting, is rare, and most publications advocate near-total cranial vault reduction procedures. The authors reviewed our series of limited reductions (designed to minimize complications while still providing functional benefits) to evaluate outcomes.
Methods: All patients undergoing posterior reduction cranioplasties were retrospectively reviewed for outcomes, including operative data, length of stay, preoperative and postoperative anthropometrics, and complications. In addition, preoperative and postoperative motor function was assessed using a novel scale. These data were then compared with published series.
Results: Ten patients (five male, five female) underwent reduction cranioplasties for macrocephaly at an average age of 17.9 months (range, 6 to 53 months) and were followed for an average of 41.5 months. The mean operative time was 4.9 hours (range, 4.3 to 6.5 hours), estimated blood loss was 530 ml (range, 200 to 1500 ml), and 78 percent received blood transfusions. The average length of hospitalization was 2.6 days. Three patients experienced complications, including one shunt revision. The mean functional assessment scores increased from 2.3 to 3.9 (p = 0.022), with all patients able to support their heads postoperatively.
Conclusions: Use of a limited cranioplasty technique was associated with a hospitalization that was over 7 days shorter than has been reported in the literature for total cranial vault reductions and with a much lower shunt revision rate. Measurable improvements in motor function and subjective benefits in appearance were noted, despite a more limited reduction. Surgeons faced with this unusual condition may wish to consider performing this smaller procedure.
CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, IV.

A Retrospective Photometric Study of 82 Published Reports of Mastopexy and Breast Reduction
Background: Numerous publications claim to improve breast projection and upper pole fullness after mastopexy or breast reduction. Fascial sutures and ?autoaugmentation? with local flaps are advocated. However, there is no objective evidence that these efforts are effective. The author has proposed a measuring system to quantitate results. Not only is this system useful for assessing one's own results, but it may also be used to assess and compare results in published studies.
Methods: Eighty-two international publications on mastopexies and breast reductions were analyzed. The studies were grouped by technique: inverted-T (superior/medial, central, and inferior pedicles), vertical, periareolar, inframammary, lateral, and ?other.? Measurements were made using the definitions and terminology reported separately and included breast projection, upper pole projection, lower pole level, nipple level, breast convexity, breast parenchymal ratio, and lower pole ratio. Areola shape was assessed.
Results: Breast projection and upper pole projection were not increased significantly by any of the mastopexy/reduction procedures or by the use of fascial sutures or autoaugmentation techniques. Nipple overelevation was common (41.9 percent). The incidence of the teardrop areola deformity (53.8 percent) was significantly higher (p < 0.001) in patients treated with the open technique of nipple placement. There was no significant difference in results when compared by follow-up times, resection weights, year of publication, or geographic region. Conclusions: Existing mastopexy/reduction techniques do not significantly increase breast projection or upper pole projection. Fascial sutures and autoaugmentation techniques are ineffective. Nipple overelevation and the teardrop areola deformity are common problems and should be avoided.

Nonhuman Primate Model of Fibula Vascularized Composite Tissue Allotransplantation Demonstrates Donor-Recipient Bony Union
Background: Vascularized composite tissue allotransplantation has demonstrated clinical success with standard immunosuppression in hand and upper extremity transplantation. The authors developed a fibular vascularized composite tissue allotransplantation model in nonhuman primates to investigate healing and rejection patterns of bone and associated tissues.
Methods: Five fibular vascularized composite tissue allotransplantations were performed between mismatched cynomolgus macaques (Macaca fascicularis). Vascularized fibular segments with associated muscle and skin were transplanted to recipient forearm radius defects. Recipients were treated with either tacrolimus monotherapy or tacrolimus plus co-stimulatory blockade with a novel anti-CD28 antibody. Animals were followed for 6 months with serial radiographs, blood sample collection, and biopsies. At the study endpoint, angiographic, biomechanical, histologic, and immunologic assays were performed.
Results: All animals survived to the experimental endpoint of 180 days. Rapid or immediate skin loss was evident secondary to vascular compromise (n = 3) or rejection (n = 1) in four animals. Despite loss of nonbony segments and the development of transplant arteriopathy consistent with chronic rejection in two animals, serial radiologic imaging and histology demonstrated bone healing and donor-recipient bony union by 10 weeks in all animals. Histology confirmed the presence of viable cortical and marrow elements. Biomechanical analysis supported donor-recipient bony union. Short-tandem repeated genotypic analysis revealed that donor marrow had been completely replaced by recipient marrow.
Conclusions: In contrast to successes in extremity vascularized composite tissue allotransplantation, the authors' nonhuman primate fibular vascularized composite tissue allotransplantation model showed early skin loss, replacement of donor bone marrow, and chronic rejection. Donor-recipient bone union did occur and supports the potential for reconstruction of bony continuity defects using isolated vascularized bone allotransplants.
