The proposed experimental/computational approach could enable prediction of nanotherapeutics performance to treat hypovascularized metastatic cancer in the liver.
Introduction Autologous breast reconstruction (ABR) has increased in recent decades, although concerns for access remain. As such, our goal is to trend national demographics and operative characteristics of ABR the United States. Methods Using National Inpatient Sample, 2016–2019, International Classification Disease , Tenth Edition codes identified adult female encounters undergoing ABR. Demographics procedure-related were recorded. Discharge weights generated estimates. Statistical...
Background/Objectives: The omental fat-augmented free flap (O-FAFF) is a novel technique for autologous breast reconstruction in patients who cannot use or elect not to more traditional donor sites. While the clinical outcomes of O-FAFF have been well studied, associated costs and resource utilization yet investigated. involves an acellular dermal matrix two-team approach laparoscopic harvest omentum, thereby increasing surgical materials costs. This study compares longitudinal...
Introduction: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains an important safety issue in surgery. Although enoxaparin is the most common medication for VTE chemoprophylaxis plastic surgery, several limitations have been discussed that may contribute to breakthrough events. These include: 1) need weight-based dosing, 2) factor Xa monitoring ensure adequate therapeutic levels, and 3) subcutaneous injection. Apixaban represent a potential solution, however, experience with direct inhibitors surgery...
Nanofiber vascular grafts have been shown to create neovessels made of autologous tissue, by in vivo scaffold biodegradation over time. However, many studies on graft materials and conducted vitro or small animal models, instead large which demonstrate different degradation profiles. In this study, we compared the profiles nanofiber a rat model sheep model, while controlling for type material, duration implantation, fabrication method, circulation (arterial/venous), surgery (interposition...
Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a common cause of hospital admissions, readmissions, and mortality worldwide. Digital health interventions (DHIs) that promote self-management, adherence to guideline-directed therapy, cardiovascular risk reduction may improve outcomes in this population. The “Corrie” DHI consists smartphone application, smartwatch, wireless blood pressure monitor support medication tracking, education, vital signs monitoring, care coordination. We aimed...
Traditionally, saline is used for intraoperative/postoperative expansion in two-stage alloplastic breast reconstruction. Recently, intraoperative with air has been proposed, to reduce pressure on the mastectomy skin flap immediate postoperative setting. The authors examined whether tissue medium (i.e., versus saline) affected postmastectomy complications prepectoral reconstruction.This was a retrospective cohort study of 87 patients (144 breasts) undergoing reconstruction at authors'...
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in unpreceded changes to medical education. Medical students interested urology and neurosurgery have reported concerns regarding COVID-19's effects on clinical experience the residency application process; however, impact amongst plastic surgery is unknown. We hypothesized that applying into may much distress as a result of pandemic.An electronic survey was developed by 3 residents 2 academic surgeons later refined 4 fourth-year students. Questions focused...
Abstract Background This study investigated the relative cost utility of three techniques for management symptomatic neuromas after neuroma excision: (1) implantation nerve into muscle, (2) targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR), and (3) regenerative peripheral interface (RPNI). Methods The costs associated with each procedure were determined using Common Procedural Terminology codes in combination data from Centers Medicaid Medicare Services Physician Facility 2020 Fee Schedules. procedures...
Infection after implant-based breast reconstruction adversely affects surgical outcomes and increases healthcare utilization. This study aimed to quantify how postimplant infections impact unplanned reoperations, hospital length of stay, discontinuation initially desired reconstruction.We conducted a retrospective cohort using Optum's de-identifed Clinformatics Data Mart Database analyze women undergoing implant from 2003 2019. Unplanned reoperations were identified via Current Procedural...
There is growing public concern surrounding breast implant safety. In fact, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently proposed changes to labeling, which include a boxed warning. Given such efforts increase transparency on safety, this study assessed laywomen's perceptions of impact labeling decision-making regarding implants.This was cross-sectional investigation women recruited through Amazon Mechanical Turk. Discrete choice modeling used query opinions implants after viewing changes....
Aim: Biosynthetic scaffolds represent cutting-edge therapeutic efforts for secondary lymphedema. In particular, nanofibrillar collagen have shown efficacy in both preclinical and clinical contexts, there has been growing interest these recent years. This study systematically reviewed the current literature on lymphedema treatment to synthesize findings highlight areas further research. Methods: was a systematic scoping review of treatment. Results: Upon literature, 32 relevant articles were...
Management of cancer is often characterized by difficult decisions. The National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship (NCCS) has developed the "Know Yourself" tool, a question prompt list (QPL) to enable patients participate in these We investigated feasibility using NCCS tool oncologists and their with before-and-after pilot study at tertiary medical center. also measured patient reported decision preparedness, anxiety, satisfaction care, trust physician, discussion care primary physician...
