Article Synopsis
- * An analysis of over 7,000 breast reduction cases revealed that patients with low albumin levels had significantly more comorbidities, a higher body mass index, and were more likely to be Black or African American.
- * The study found that those with hypoalbuminemia experienced nearly double the rate of postoperative complications and readmissions compared to those with normal albumin levels, highlighting the importance of preoperative nutritional evaluations.
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a significant challenge in the clinical care of diabetic patients, often necessitating limb amputation and compromising the quality of life and life expectancy of this cohort. Minimally invasive therapies, such as modular scaffolds, are at the forefront of current DFU treatment, offering an efficient approach for administering therapeutics that accelerate tissue repair and regeneration. In this study, we report a facile method for fabricating granular nanofibrous microspheres (NMs) with predesigned structures and porosities.

In patients with limited donor sites available for autografting, techniques such as the Meek micrograft procedure or cultured epidermal allografts (CEA) have proven to be viable alternatives. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we analyzed the outcomes of different wound coverage techniques in patients with massive burn injuries ≥ 50 % TBSA in the past 17 years.
