Superiority of the deep circumflex iliac vessels as the supply for free groin flaps. Clinical work.

In this paper we present 16 cases of free transfer of compound flaps from the groin, 11 using the deep circumflex iliac vessels as a stem and 5 using the superficial circumflex iliac vessels as a stem. We found the deep vessels superior in many ways to the superficial vessels for this purpose; they are larger, permitting greater ease in anastomoses and providing more reliable blood flow. We believe that larger osteocutaneous or myocutaneous flaps can be transferred on the deep vessels than on the superficial ones-and that the deep circumflex iliac flap may supplant the conventional free going flap in most situations. The method evolved in response to patient need, not for surgical éclat.

Components underlying the relation between field dependence and extraversion.

Components of Eysenck's Extraversion scale were examined to account for previous findings indicating that field independence, as measured by individual and group forms of the embedded-figures test, is associated with Introversion. In two of the three samples of female unversity students, field independence, as measured by the Group Embedded Figures Test, was associated with low impulsivity and slow decision time, as measured by items on Eysenck's Extraversion scale.
