Unlabelled: Growing environmental concerns and the need to adopt a circular economy have highlighted the importance of waste valorization for resource recovery. Microbial consortia-enabled biotechnologies have made significant developments in the biomanufacturing of valuable resources from waste biomass that serve as suitable alternatives to petrochemical-derived products. These microbial consortia-based processes are designed following a top-down or bottom-up engineering approach.

Bulge and hernia may occur after abdominally based breast reconstruction. The purpose of this study is to provide an estimate of the effects that the type of flap used for breast reconstruction (ie, transverse rectus abdominis muscle [TRAM] vs muscle-sparing [MS]-2 TRAM vs DIEP) has on the postoperative development of both abdominal bulge and abdominal hernia, taking into consideration the method of donor site closure (ie, with mesh vs without mesh), based on the available literature. Twenty-eight studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the systematic review.
