Evaluation of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy dressing in the management of mommy makeover surgery wounds.

Background: This investigation explores the potential impact of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) dressing on mommy makeover surgical wounds. The focus is on optimizing the healing process and post-surgical care to mitigate complications like wound dehiscence, seroma, and hematoma.

Patients And Methods: A prospective study spanned from October 2015 to April 2022, involving 40 patients undergoing mommy makeover surgery for aesthetic purposes.

Safe and Effective Augmentation Mastopexy with Tumescent Local Anesthesia: A Decade of Experience.

: Tumescent local anesthesia (TLA) is widely used in esthetic surgery due to its ability to reduce complications, eliminate the need for general anesthesia, provide effective pain control, and shorten hospitalization times. : This study evaluates the use of TLA in 80 patients who underwent augmentation mastopexy between 2010 and 2022. A tumescent solution containing 500 mg lidocaine, 672 mg sodium bicarbonate, and 1 mg epinephrine in 1000 mL of saline was infiltrated, with an average of 300 mL per breast.

Advancing Reduction Mammaplasty Surgery: Advancements and Outcomes with Tumescent Local Anaesthesia.

Background: Tumescent local anaesthesia (TLA) is a method of anaesthesia used for surgical procedures that involves the infusion of a saline solution containing lidocaine, sodium bicarbonate, and epinephrine. This anaesthetic technique is designed to achieve both vasoconstriction and anaesthesia. In this article, we present a modified TLA protocol specifically adapted for reduction mammaplasty, based on an analysis of clinical case histories collected over the past few years.

Xerostomia: From Pharmacological Treatments to Traditional Medicine-An Overview on the Possible Clinical Management and Prevention Using Systemic Approaches.

Despite high incidence rates and severe complications, the management of xerostomia lacks clinical guidelines. The aim of this overview was to summarize the clinical experience derived from the last 10 years of treatments and prevention using systemic compounds. Results showed that the cytoprotective drug amifostine, and its antioxidant agents, are the most discussed as preventive agents of xerostomia in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients.

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS): guideline for differential diagnosis and management.

Aim: Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a painful and common ulcerative form that can pose a diagnostic challenge. In fact, similar oral ulcers can appear secondary to a variety of well-defined pathological conditions. Thus, the purpose of this work was to update the current knowledge about RAS METHODS: A narrative review is presented aiming to clarify the extensive differential diagnosis of RAS and its management.

Invasive aspergillosis in solid organ transplantation: Diagnostic challenges and differences in outcome in a Spanish national cohort (Diaspersot study).

Background: The diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis (IA) can be problematic in solid organ transplantation (SOT). The prognosis greatly varies according to the type of transplant, and the impact of prophylaxis is not well defined.

Patients And Methods: The Diaspersot cohort analyses the impact of IA in SOT in Spain during the last 10 years.

Antimicrobial Effect of and var. as Raw Extracts and Nanovesicles.

In view of the increasing interest in natural antimicrobial molecules, this study screened the ability of (TC) essential oil and var. (CLP) extract as raw extracts or incorporated in vesicular nanocarriers against and . After fingerprint, TC or CLP were mixed with lecithin and water to produce liposomes, or different ratios of water/glycerol or water/propylene glycol (PG) to produce glycerosomes and penetration enhancer vesicles (PEVs), respectively.

Aerosolized Lipid Amphotericin B for Complementary Therapy and/or Secondary Prophylaxis in Patients with Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis: A Single-Center Experience.

Background: Experience with aerosolized lipid amphotericin B (aeLAB) as therapy or secondary prophylaxis in patients with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is anecdotal.

Methods: We performed a single-center retrospective cohort study to evaluate the efficacy of systemic antifungal therapy with and without aeLAB in patients with proven or probable IPA. Complete or partial response at 3 months was the primary end-point.

The role of adhesive materials and oral biofilm in the failure of adhesive resin restorations.

Purpose: To critically discuss adhesive materials and oral cariogenic biofilm in terms of their potential relevance to the failures of adhesive restorations in the oral environment.

Methods: The literature regarding adhesive restoration failures was reviewed with particular emphasis on the chemistry of adhesive resins, weakness in dentin bonding, water fluids, cariogenic oral biofilm and the relations that influence failures. Particular attention was paid to evidence derived from clinical studies.
