More women than ever before are undergoing mastectomies secondary to increased awareness and screening. This increase has also caused a corresponding in the number of breast reconstructions requested each year. The demand for reconstruction fueled recent advances new techniques. Aside from foreign-body such as implants, methods now being used related autogenous donations reconstruction. Transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flaps perforator currently study will compare these two...
Management of rectal cancer is increasingly complex. Leading societies describe metrics high-quality perioperative care with the goal reducing variation in practice and improving outcomes. This study was designed to impact targeted feedback at institutional level on achievement quality metrics. Adult elective resections performed institutions that continuously participated SCOAP between 2011 2022 were included for analysis. Quality evaluated preoperative MRI (MRI), determination tumor...
Acute superior mesenteric vein (SMV) and portal (PV) thrombosis can be a complication of hypercoagulable, inflammatory, or infectious states. It also occur as medical surgical intervention. Management includes both operative nonoperative approaches. Operative interventions include thrombectomy with thrombolysis; this is often employed for patients who present signs peritoneal irritation. Nonoperative approaches either noninvasive invasive. Treatment anticoagulation has been shown to...
The goal of this study was to assess the effects training primary care providers (PCPs) use Motivational Interviewing (MI) when treating depressed patients on providers' MI performance and patients' expressions interest in depression treatment ("change talk") short-term adherence.This a cluster randomized trial urban clinics (3 intervention, 4 control). We recruited 21 PCPs (10 11 control) 171 English-speaking with newly diagnosed (85 86 included baseline up 2 refresher classroom trainings,...
Post-angioplasty restenosis (PARS) in atherosclerotic lesions of medium and small arteries occurs about one-third cases the first year following percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) (early PARS). PARS includes acute spasm, dissection with reclosure, elastic recoil, fibrocellular proliferative response, progressive atheromatous disease. Fibrocellular proliferation (possibly initiated by platelet derived growth factor) is felt to be culpable many early (months). Pharmacologic regimens,...
A 37-year-old woman who underwent a parotidectomy for acinic cell carcinoma was referred correction of the resulting defect. As an assistant principal, patient often in public and, because she somewhat self-conscious about her facial deformity, sought reconstruction. Physical examination revealed pre-auricular soft-tissue defect that measured approximately 5 x cm. After consultation with patient, microsurgical transfer fat from lower abdomen based on branches deep inferior epigastric...
Plastic surgeons are sometimes hesitant to provide their pricing information online, due several concerns. However, if implemented right, price transparency can be used as a lead generation tool that provides consumers with the they want and gives physician consumer's contact for follow-up. This study took place during author's first year in private practice new city. An interactive platform (ie, cost estimator) was integrated into his website, allowing submit “wishlist” of procedures check...
Breast reduction is a very common procedure within the field of plastic surgery, with many techniques. These techniques include differences in location pedicles and scars. Another variation on technique for breast relates to preoperative infiltration an epinephrine solution reduce blood loss operative time.

Background The value of ultrasound enhancing agents ( UEA ) in patients undergoing transesophageal echocardiography TEE for the exclusion left atrial appendage LAA thrombi prior to direct current cardioversion DCCV is evolving. Methods We retrospectively identified 88 consecutive s, where a commercial was used during interrogation. De‐identified non‐enhanced (pre‐ and enhanced cine loop images (post‐ from same subjects were randomly reviewed by four expert readers blinded fashion. Results In...
Previous studies have established the feasibility of combining tissue heat generated by radio-frequency (RF) current and mechanical pressure to manage problems percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) that are thought cause postangioplasty restenosis (PARS). In in vitro study normal atherosclerotic human aortic layers (intima-media media-adventitia) separated artificially, purposes were identify a dose-response relationship between total RF energy delivered resultant weld strength...
