SERI Surgical Scaffold in 2-Stage Breast Reconstruction: 2-Year Data from a Prospective, Multicenter Trial.

Background: Soft-tissue support devices are used during breast reconstruction. This study investigated long-term clinical data following SERI Surgical Scaffold (SERI) implantation, a bioresorbable, silk-derived scaffold for soft-tissue support.

Methods: This was a prospective, multicenter study in 103 subjects who received SERI during stage 1 of 2-stage breast reconstruction with subpectoral tissue expander placement (Natrelle Style 133V; Allergan plc, Dublin, Ireland) followed by subpectoral breast implant placement.

SERI surgical scaffold, prospective clinical trial of a silk-derived biological scaffold in two-stage breast reconstruction: 1-year data.

Background: SERI Surgical Scaffold is a long-term bioresorbable silk-derived biological scaffold developed to provide soft-tissue support and repair.

Methods: SURE-001 (ClinicalTrials.gov identification no.

Blood velocity measurement in human conjunctival vessels.

The bulbar conjunctiva is one of the few areas in which blood flow in the peripheral vasculature can be directly and noninvasively observed in the human. Although extensive literature exists describing morphological changes which correlate with a variety of systemic diseases in this vasculature, little quantitative data is available on hemodynamics in either normal or abnormal states. The hemodynamic data available are primarily subjective assessments of "low flow.
