Autologous breast augmentation combining the harvesting of the Anterior Intercostal Artery Perforator (AICAP) and Lateral Intercostal Artery Perforator (LICAP) flaps in massive weight loss patient: A case report.

Patients undergoing bariatric surgical procedures usually exhibit breast ptosis due to the quick weight loss. In this type of patients, the mastopexy represents a challenge for plastic surgeons considering the abundance of dystrophic cutaneous tissue, the loss of subcutaneous tissue and the impossibility to employ heterologous devices in the setting of Italian public healthcare. In addition, it is necessary to consider that patients undergoing post-bariatric surgery have increasingly high expectations.

Efficacy of injecting hybrid cooperative complexes of hyaluronic acid for the treatment of vulvar lichen sclerosus: A preliminary study.

Background: Lichen sclerosus is a chronic relapsing inflammatory skin disease, which involves most commonly the anogenital region. The gold standard in treatment is ultra-potent topical steroids (clobetasol propionate): it aims at controlling the symptoms, stopping further scarring and distortion, and reducing the risk of cancer.

Objectives: The aim of this preliminary study is to evaluate the efficacy of injecting Hybrid Cooperative Complexes of Hyaluronic Acid (HCC) for the treatment of vulvar lichen sclerosus (VLS).

COVID-19 in Pediatric Long-Term Care: How Infection Control and Prevention Practices Minimized the Impact of the Pandemic on Healthcare Providers and Residents.

Children in pediatric long-term care (LTC) facilities are commonly infected with respiratory tract viruses as they have many high-risk co-morbidities and require significant interactions with the healthcare team. From previous studies, we know that infected staff can often be the source of transmission of infection to the children. If instituted quickly, infection control practices can help mitigate the spread of infection.
