Clinical TrialHypothermia and complications in postbariatric body contouring.
Postbariatric body contouring represents a rapidly growing field. With long operative times and high rates of minor complications, evidence-based guidelines for operative management are needed. Data analyzing the impact of perioperative factors on patient outcomes are currently limited. ⋯ Risk, II.

The auriculotemporal nerve in etiology of migraine headaches: compression points and anatomical variations.
The auriculotemporal nerve has been identified as one of the peripheral trigger sites for migraine headaches. However, its distal course is poorly mapped following emergence from the parotid gland. In addition, a reliable anatomical landmark for locating the potential compression points along the course of the nerve during surgery has not been sufficiently described. ⋯ Findings from this cadaver study provide information relevant to the operative localization of potential compression points along the auriculotemporal nerve.
