Article Synopsis
- The breast-sharing procedure uses a disposable flap for post-mastectomy reconstruction, allowing simultaneous reconstruction and symmetry without extra donor site issues.
- A study on 10 patients showed this technique can effectively achieve aesthetic results, but complications like venous congestion and the need for fat grafting were noted.
- Despite initial complications, with no recurrent disease over an average of 5.6 years follow-up, patient satisfaction was high, suggesting the technique is viable, especially if modifications are made to reduce risks.
Evaluation of effectiveness of non-mucosa-sparing (eg, reboot) surgery in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), poorly responders to mAb therapy, who failed repeated comprehensive endoscopic surgeries. Retrospective observational study. Patients who were under mAb for a comorbid condition but still had no control over their CRSwNP were included.

Methods: Single-center observational retrospective analysis on EE-DCR via posterior trans-ethmoidal approach. Consecutive patients were enrolled in 2021-2024 and evaluated with proper questionnaires; resolution of epiphora and dacryocystitis were analyzed after 1 (T1) and 6-months (T2) from surgery.
In the last two decades, several working groups in the international psychoanalytic community have been interested in the development of systematic tools for psychodynamic diagnosis, case formulation and treatment planning. Such psychodynamic diagnostic manuals are efforts to systematically integrate an enormous and rich amount of historically partialized and dispersed information, but which constitute the substantial contribution of psychoanalysis to the field of mental health. The aim of the present article is to provide an updated review on this kind of systematic tools for diagnosis, case formulation and therapeutic planning, designed for the field of psychodynamic approaches.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAcute promyelocytic leukemia is a rare form of acute myeloid leukemia in which immature promyelocytes abnormally proliferate in the bone marrow. In most cases, the disease is characterised by the translocation t(15;17) (q24;q21), which causes the formation of PML::RARA, an oncogenic fusion protein responsible for blocking myeloid differentiation and survival advantage. Here, we present a case of acute promyelocytic leukemia with two unusual features: basophilic differentiation and a three-way translocation involving chromosomes 12, 15 and 17.
