The association between breast implants and implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) has been confirmed. Implant-related risk difficult to estimate date due incomplete datasets.All cases in Australia New Zealand were identified analyzed. Textured reported this group subjected surface area analysis. Sales data from three leading implant manufacturers (i.e., Mentor, Allergan, Silimed) dating back 1999 secured implant-specific risk.Fifty-five of ALCL diagnosed 2007 2016. mean...
A major challenge in value-based health care is the lack of standardized outcomes measurements, hindering optimal monitoring and comparison quality across different settings globally. The International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) assembled a multidisciplinary international working group, comprised 26 providers patient advocates, to develop standard set patient-centered breast cancer (BC). group convened via 8 teleconferences completed follow-up survey after each...
Background: The epidemiology and implant-specific risk for breast implant–associated (BIA) anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) has been previously reported Australia New Zealand. authors now present updated data assessment since their last report. Methods: cases in Zealand were identified analyzed. Updated sales from three leading implant manufacturers (i.e., Mentor, Allergan, Silimed) secured to estimate risk. Results: A total of 26 new BIA-ALCL diagnosed between January 2017 April 2018,...
Background: The introduction of texture to the outer shell breast implants was aimed at increasing tissue incorporation and reducing capsular contracture. It has also been shown that textured surfaces promote a higher growth bacteria are linked development implant–associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Methods: authors measure surface area roughness 11 available implants. In addition, subject these implant shells an in vitro bacterial attachment assay with four pathogens ( Staphylococcus...
Variability of deformities in hemifacial microsomia has precluded the general acceptance any classification based on one reference organ. We present a review classifications and propose TNM-style multisystem classification. This alphanumeric coding system, SAT, provides cohesion to existing classifications. The acronym SAT is derived as follows: S = skeletal, A auricle, T soft tissue. There are five levels skeletal deformity (S1 through S5), four auricular (A0 A3), three soft-tissue (T1 T3)....
Free-tissue transfer in the elderly has received increasing attention literature. Existing reports are limited by small samples or inadequate definition of term elderly. This study reviewed 5 years' experience with free-tissue a geriatric population (mean age 75 years, range 70 to 83 years). Forty-nine free flaps were performed 42 patients between 1986 and 1991. review focuses on 39 undertaken 33 head neck cancer patients, main indication being reconstruction after tumor resection (80...
Infection following transcranial surgery may be devastating. A review of 170 operations is presented with a focus on postoperative infection and its relationship to patient age, preoperative microbiology, pattern operation, length the use antibiotic prophylaxis. The overall rate was 6.5 percent, but in adults (23.5 percent) much higher than children (2.2 percent). Higher rates were found craniofacial dy-sostoses undergoing lengthy frontofacial advancements which required tracheostomy airway...
Background: Breast implants are high-risk devices that have been at the epicenter of much debate and controversy. In light Poly Implant Prothèse crisis, data registries among 11 national societies around world cooperatively calling for urgent need to establish robust clinical quality based on international best practice within a framework collaboration. Methods: A survey was conducted historic current status breast device registries. Eleven countries participated in study, illustrating...
Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is an emerging cancer that has been linked to the use of textured devices. The recent increase in number and frequency cases led worldwide regulatory action.The authors aimed longitudinally study BIA-ALCL Australia since index case was first reported 2007.Confirmed historical were collected then prospectively analyzed from October 2015 May 2019. Clinical implant exposure data determined compared with company sales for 4...
In a series of 988 autopsied victims road crashes, there were 36 (3.6%) cases gross primary brainstem injury. These fell into three groups. The first comprised eight pontomedullary tearing without other brain injury: in seven these, associated atlanto-occipital dislocations and/or high cervical fracture-dislocations. usual cause appeared to be facial impact inducing acute hyperextension. Second, 17 with lacerations major damage elsewhere the brain: all, fractures skull base, typically...
Abstract Background The Breast-Q Implant Surveillance module (BREAST-Q IS) is a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) that asks 5 questions on satisfaction (shape, feel, and rippling) symptoms (pain tightness) derived from the BREAST-Q. Objectives We aimed to pilot BREAST-Q IS patients within Australian Breast Device Registry (ABDR), an opt-out clinical quality device registry, explored Short Message Service (SMS) communication as follow-up method. Methods Patients with breast surgery in...
Background: The Poly Implant Prothèse incident and breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma have pointed to the need for uniform registries implants as key features monitoring outcomes of implant surgeries internationally. purpose this study was identify harmonize common data elements collected by across International Collaboration Breast Registry Activities (ICOBRA) global consortium. Methods: authors convened an international group surgeons, consumers, nurses, registry...
In Brief BACKGROUND: Bilateral breast augmentation is an increasingly popular day-case procedure. Local infiltration with sedation routinely used for its ease of application compared the more complex and potentially riskier paravertebral blockade (PVB). We hypothesized that ropivacaine injected by experienced anesthesia providers into space as a PVB was effective than operating surgeon (plastic surgeon) directly zone surgical dissection. METHODS: Forty female patients who were ASA physical...
