Assessment of the Grisotti oncoplastic procedure for the management of central breast tumors.

Introduction: The Grisotti technique consists to excise central breast tumor with nipple areolar and mobilize a dermo-glandular flap which is de-epithelized in order to reshape the breast and recreate an areola. The objective was to assess oncological results, postoperative side-effects, and patient and surgeon satisfaction rates resulting from this technique.

Materials And Methods: From September 2016 to December 2019, 38 patients have been treated with a central breast tumor using the Grisotti technique.

Identification of a group with high risk of postoperative complications after deep bowel endometriosis surgery: a retrospective study on 164 patients.

Purpose: Identify a group with a high risk of postoperative complications after deep bowel endometriosis surgery.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study on patients treated from 2012 to 2018 in two departments of gynecological surgery at the Toulouse University Hospital, France. The postoperative complications were evaluated in relation to the surgical management, associated with or without non-digestive surgical procedures, initial disease and patient's characteristics.

Discovery of a neuroendocrine tumor of the caecum by mammary metastasis using 18F-DOPA-PET.

Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) develop from the diffuse endocrine system. These are rare tumors that can affect diverse organs. We present here the case of a 42-year-old female patient in whom a NET of the breast was discovered that was likely not of mammary origin.

HPLC-UV Method for the Identification and Screening of Hydroquinone, Ethers of Hydroquinone and Corticosteroids Possibly Used as Skin-Whitening Agents in Illicit Cosmetic Products.

Corticosteroids, hydroquinone and its ethers are regulated in cosmetics by the Regulation 1223/2009. As corticosteroids are forbidden to be used in cosmetics and cannot be present as contaminants or impurities, an identification of one of these illicit compounds deliberately introduced in these types of cosmetics is enough for market survey control. In order to quickly identify skin-whitening agents present in illegal cosmetics, this article proposes an HPLC-UV method for the identification and screening of hydroquinone, 3 ethers of hydroquinone and 39 corticosteroids that may be found in skin-whitening products.
