Hi! Everyone,

happy & prosperous new year to all of you and continue to strive for the best.

While being attached at the Department of Plastic & Reconstructive surgery, here
at
Hokkaido University I was involved in 2 major projects.

1. To investigate the mechanism of action of sclerosants used to treat vascular
anomalies
as I have explained many times before (Please find our paper uploaded). The
clinical
aspect will be published in the new PNG science & technology journal. The PDF I
attached
covers the laboratory or in vitro aspect to try & investigate the basic
mechanism of action.

2. To create a facial-nerve palsy model, using rats and to investigate the
various
techniques of nerve anastomosis (The PDF is also uploaded). I am planning to
give a talk at
the grand rounds SMHS sometimes towards end of March this year regarding facial
nerve
palsy & the reconstruction & rehabillitation methods. Once the date is decided,
I will
anounce it using this forum.

Please find the papers in the pngdoctors-CME section, 'Files' then go to
'Various articles' &
then check
1. DSU-ScleroModel.pdf
2. FacNvPalsyModel.JPRAS

Please feel free to ask any questions, regarding these papers.
