Experience in the use of circular incision bi-pedicled vertical flap based mastectomy for grade III gynecomastia: A case series.

Introduction And Importance: Surgical management of grade III gynecomastia with excess redundant skin is challenging. The choice of the surgical technique is mainly decided upon the size of the gynecomastia, the skin redundancy and correction of nipple position.

Case Presentation: We report our experience in the use of the circular incision bi-pedicled vertical flap based mastectomy for grade III gynecomastia according to Simon classification.

New Scalable Sulfur Cathode Containing Specifically Designed Polysulfide Adsorbing Materials.

Because of its considerable theoretical specific capacity and energy density, lithium-sulfur battery technology holds great potential to replace lithium-ion battery technology. However, a versatile, low-cost, and easily scalable bulk synthesis method is essential for translating bench-level development to large-scale production. This paper reports the design and synthesis of a new scalable sulfur cathode, S@CNT/PANI/PPyNT/TiO (BTX).

Strong green upconversion emission from submicron spindle-shaped SrMoO:Yb,Er.

Upconversion luminescence (UCL) is a fluorescence process where two or more lower-energy photons convert into a higher-energy photon. Lanthanide (Ln)-doped UCL materials often suffer from weak luminescence, especially when directly synthesized by a hydrothermal (HT) process due to the existing hydroxyl group and undesirable arrangement of dopants within host lattices which quench luminescence and limit energy transfer. Therefore, additional heat treatment processes are required to enhance their UCL emission, even though direct hydrothermal synthesis without further heat treatment has the advantages of low energy consumption, fast synthesis, and wide applicability to generate UCL materials.

Oncoplastic breast conserving surgery versus standard breast conserving surgery for early and locally advanced breast cancer: a retrospective analysis from Sri Lanka.

Background: Breast aesthetics is becoming increasingly important in breast cancer surgery due to changes in patient expectations and greater emphasis been placed on the psychosocial outcomes. Studies have shown no difference in local recurrence risk between mastectomy and breast conserving surgery (BCS) and also a higher overall survival rate after BCS. Breast preservation improves the quality of life substantially compared to mastectomy.

Characterization and Virtual Screening of GntR/HutC Family Transcriptional Regulator MoyR: A Potential Monooxygenase Regulator in .

is a well-known pathogen due to the emergence of drug resistance associated with it, where transcriptional regulators play a key role in infection, colonization and persistence. The genome of encodes many transcriptional regulators, and here we report an in-depth characterization of a GntR regulator: MoyR, a possible monooxygenase regulator. Homology modelling provided a reliable structure for MoyR, showing homology with a HutC regulator DasR from .

Colloidal Synthesis of Bulk-Bandgap Lead Selenide Nanocrystals.

Lead selenide quantum dots (QDs) are low-bandgap IV-VI semiconducting nanomaterials that have been studied for a variety of applications. Their preparation using colloidal methods can create small spherical to larger cubic nanocrystals, with an upper limit of ~17 nm reported to date. Here we describe methods for preparing cubic PbSe nanocrystals over a 20-40 nm size range using a twostep procedure.

Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus contamination of phlebotomy tourniquets and faucets.

Introduction: Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is transmitted through direct contact or fomites. The most important means of nosocomial spread is by hospital personnel. However, fomites are being increasingly recognized as sources of nosocomial infection.
