This study aims to compare complication rates across different body mass index (BMI) groups in patients undergoing PP or RP IBBR.
Methods: A monocentric retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent mastectomy and IBBR from January 2018 to December 2023.
Article Synopsis
- Physical cues, such as piezoelectric stimulation, can effectively promote the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), mimicking the natural electroactive properties of bone.
- The study involved creating poly(vinylidene) fluoride (PVDF) films, with and without cobalt ferrite oxide (CFO), using a specific ionic liquid to enhance their electroactive properties, which can stimulate MSCs when subjected to a magnetic field.
- Initial results showed that these PVDF films are biocompatible, and the stimulated MSCs exhibited signs of early differentiation, such as increased focal adhesions and changes in cytoskeletal structure and energy metabolism after 3 to 7 days of stimulation.
Alcohol consumption is an established cause of female breast cancer. This systematic review examines in detail the association between alcohol and female breast cancer overall and among the described subgroups, using all of the evidence to date. A systematic review of PubMed and Embase was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.
