Promotion of Primary Murine Breast Cancer Growth and Metastasis by Adipose-Derived Stem Cells Is Reduced in the Presence of Autologous Fat Graft.

Background: Cell-assisted lipotransfer involves enrichment of autologous fat with supraphysiologic numbers of adipose-derived stem cells to improve graft take. Adipose-derived stem cells have been shown to promote cancer progression, raising concerns over the safety of adipose-derived stem cells and cell-assisted lipotransfer in postoncologic breast reconstruction. The authors compared the effect of adipose-derived stem cells alone, cell-assisted lipotransfer, and conventional fat grafting on breast cancer growth and metastasis.

Ophthalmologic Outcomes Following Fronto-Orbital Advancement for Unicoronal Craniosynostosis.

Unicoronal craniosynostosis predisposes to ophthalmologic abnormalities such as strabismus, astigmatism, and amblyopia. The authors explored the ophthalmologic outcomes following fronto-orbital advancement (FOA). A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library was conducted.

Wrist ganglion treatment: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: To review the clinical outcomes of treatment for adult wrist ganglions and to conduct a meta-analysis comparing the 2 most common options: open surgical excision and aspiration.

Methods: The review methodology was registered with PROSPERO. We performed a systematic search of MEDLINE and EMBASE for articles published between 1990 and 2013.

Atypical presentation of sinonasal cellular schwannoma: a nonsolitary mass with osseous, orbital, and intracranial invasion.

Objective Sinonasal cellular schwannoma represents < 4% of head and neck schwannomas. These benign tumors are typically confined to the nasal cavity or ethmoid sinus. We describe an atypical case of sinonasal cellular schwannoma with diffuse paranasal sinus involvement and both intraorbital and intracranial extension.
