Background: Breast prosthesis infections are challenging and traditionally managed with prosthesis removal and delayed reconstruction. Single-application negative pressure wound therapy with instillation and dwell (NPWTi-d) has shown promise for salvaging infected implants, though prior studies have been small and heterogeneous. This study analyzes outcomes and compares protocols from four institutions.

Numerous patients who seek emergency care are unaware that they have detectable viremia, yet they fall outside established ED protocols for HCV screening. Often they belong to groups with difficult access to health care who use the ED as their point of entry to the system.

Aims: To locate and retrieve to care all individuals diagnosed with hepatitis B, D or C, and investigate why they were not linked to appropriate medical management.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective-prospective search for patients with hepatitis B, D or C virus (HBV, HDV and HCV) infection in the central laboratory database of the Barcelona northern health area (catchment population, 450,000).
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and survival outcomes of a multidisciplinary extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) program at a university hospital in Spain over a four-year period.
- The research analyzed data from 54 adult patients who received ECPR, noting that 16 patients (29.6%) were alive after 180 days, with 15 showing good neurological outcomes.
- The results suggest that implementing an ECPR program is practical and can result in favorable survival rates and potential organ donation opportunities in a specialized medical center.
Introduction: Protocols surrounding opioid reduction have become commonplace in plastic surgery to improve peri-operative outcomes. Within such protocols, opioid requirement is a frequently analyzed outcome. Though often examined, there is no literature standard conversion for morphine milligram equivalents (MME) at present, leading to questionable external validity.
