Latissimus Dorsi Myocutaneous Flap in Immediate Reconstruction after Salvage Mastectomy Post-Lumpectomy and Radiation Therapy.

Unlabelled: Breast reconstruction after salvage mastectomy (SM) for recurrent cancer represents a challenge in preradiated patients due to the increased complication rate. Latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap (LDMF) represents a good reconstructive option due to its versatility, safety, and adaptability.

Methods: Fifty-nine patients treated in the Breast Surgery Unit at the University Hospital of Parma (Italy) between January 2010 and December 2017 for ipsilateral breast recurrent cancer, previously treated by partial mastectomy plus whole-breast radiation therapy, were analyzed.

Brain Metabolism Correlates of the Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test in Mild Cognitive Impairment.

Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test (FCSRT) measures immediate and delayed episodic memory and cueing sensitivity and is suitable to detect prodromal Alzheimer's disease (AD). The present study aimed at investigating the segregation effect of FCSRT scores on brain metabolism of memory-related structures, usually affected by AD pathology, in the Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) stage. A cohort of forty-eight MCI patients underwent FCSRT and 18F-FDG-PET.
