portada - JPRAS - Vol. 73; No. 2 (2020)Dunedin is a small city located in the southeastern part of the South Island of New Zealand, an enclave found in the Southern Hemisphere halfway around the World. How possibly would anyone consider such a remote place to be the birthplace of modern plastic surgery? Yet here was born both Sir Harold Delf Gillies, the “father of modern plastic surgery.”

JPRAS -Vol. 71, No. 7 (2018)El 200 aniversario de la «Rinoplastia» de KF Graefe, el nombramiento de E. Zeis de la especialidad de cirugía plástica en 1838  y la discusión continua sobre qué es la cirugía plástica, han llevado a esta revisión histórico-conceptual con una visión semántica del significado de la palabra «Plástico». Una búsqueda en la literatura ha revelado que este término contiene aspectos duales: artístico y filosófico. Ampliar…

portada - Burns - Vol. 40 (2014)Skin grafting is the current standard care in the treatment of full thickness burns. It was first described around 1500 BC but the vast majority of advancements have been achieved over the past 200 years.
An extensive literature review was conducted on Pubmed, Medline and Google Scholar researching the evolution of skin grafting techniques. The authors concentrated on the major landmarks of skin grafting and also provide an overview of ongoing research efforts in this field.

portada - Burns - Vol. 40 (2014)The Medical Research Council Burns and Industrial Injuries Unit at the Birmingham Accident Hospital pioneered civilian burn care and research in the United Kingdom during the post-war years. A photographic archive has been discovered that documents this period from 1945 to 1975. The aim of this project was to sort, digitize and archive the images in a secure format for future reference.

portada - JPRAS - Vol. 70; No. 7 (2017)To determine the frequency of recognised morphologic facial phenotypes among the UK and US election candidates and to assess whether there is a relationship between facial morphology and success in general elections.
Facial morphology analysis of prime ministerial and presidential candidates in the UK and US elections was performed. Direct facial measurements were made from frontal images and facial morphological indices calculated for all candidates. Anthropometric facial phenotype was determined and comparisons made between the elected leaders and unelected runner-up candidates. Paired candidates who had different facial types were analysed as a subgroup, with the probabilities of electoral success calculated.

portada - Clinics in Plastic Surgery - Vol. 44; No. 2 (2017)The Department of Orthopedics and Replantation Research Laboratory of the Sixth People’s Hospital of Shanghai was at the forefront of technical innovation and development of limb and digital replantation and early microsurgery in the mid-1960s, half a century ago. This was a period when the entirety of China was isolated from the rest of the world, with revolutionary movements spreading over the entire country. Almost unbelievably, the early development of microsurgery took place during this period, unknown to the rest of the world. As a member of the earliest research team in the replantation laboratory and a member of the surgical team in the department, the author recollects some little-known facts dating back half a century that led to now-familiar techniques in microsurgery.

portada - PRS - Vol. 132; No. 2 (2013)Today, social media have become an integral part of the fabric of our lives, our society, and, of course, medicine, including plastic surgery—academically, personally, and professionally. Social media have impacted the doctor-patient relationship, the marketing of practices and academic journal articles, and the perception of physicians by society. Much has changed in the social media sphere over the past 13 years.

portada - Burns - Vol. 40; No 6 (2014)For burn patients, the daily dressing process causes pain and anxiety. Although drugs can relieve them, the degree of pain during dressing changes is often moderate to severe. Therefore, relevant supporting interventions, like music as an ideal intervention, could alleviate the patient’s pain. This study investigated the impact of music intervention at dressing change time on burn patients’ pain and anxiety.

All scientific data should be presented with sufficient accuracy and precision so that they can be both analyzed properly and reproduced. Visual data are the foundation upon which plastic surgeons advance knowledge. We use visual data to achieve reproducible results by discerning details of procedures and differences between pre- and post-surgery images.
This review highlights how the presentation of visual data evolved from 1816, when Joseph Carpue published his book on nasal reconstruction to 1916, when Captain Harold Gillies began to treat over 2000 casualties from the Battle of the Somme. It shows the frailties of human nature that led some authors such as Carl von Graefe, Joseph Pancoast and Thomas Mutter to record inaccurate methods or results that could not be reproduced, and what measures other authors such as Eduard Zeis, Johann Dieffenbach, and Gurdon Buck took to affirm the accuracy of their results.
