Nerve autofluorescence to enhance nerve visualization during axillary lymph node dissection in three breast cancer patients: Case series.

Introduction And Importance: Iatrogenic nerve injury is a possible complication of axillary lymph node dissection (ALND), which remains standard-of-care for some breast cancer patients. Recently, several studies have demonstrated that nerves auto-fluoresce in near-ultraviolet light (NUVL). We describe three women with BC in whom a recently-developed NUVL camera was used to facilitate visualization of and prevent iatrogenic injury to the intercostobrachial, long thoracic, and thoracodorsal nerves during ALND.

The Coupling of Synthesis and Electrochemistry to Enable the Reversible Storage of Hydrogen as Metal Hydrides.

Given its high gravimetric energy density and status as a clean fuel when derived from renewables, hydrogen (H) is considered a premier candidate for energy storage; however, its low volumetric density limits its broader application. Chemical storage through the reversible incorporation of H into chemical bonds offers a promising solution to its low volumetric density, circumventing subpar energy densities and substantial infrastructure investments associated with physical storage methods. Metal hydrides are promising candidates for chemical storage because of their high gravimetric capacity and tunability through nanostructuring and alloying.

The Social Area of the Breast: An Evolution Through Cultures and Centuries.

Breasts have evolved as a functional and aesthetic unit. The perception of society toward social exposure of the breast has been extremely diverse, not only temporally through the same civilization but also among contemporary parallel societies in geographically diverse areas. This article explores the spatial and temporal evolution of the outlook toward social exposure of breast over the past 3000 years among different societies, countries, and religions.

Internal mammary artery perforator-based plug flap.

Introduction: Various oncoplastic techniques have emerged over the years to preserve breast cosmesis and symmetry without compromising the principles of tumor excision. One of the newer techniques for breast volume replacement to achieve symmetry and cosmesis is the use of fascio-cutaneous pedicled chest wall perforator flaps or local perforator flaps (CWPF).

Case Presentation: We present a case of reconstruction with internal mammary artery perforator (IMAP)-based plug flap to fill the infero-medial defect caused by a tumor close to skin, with visible retraction.

Multistate outbreak of Oranienburg infections linked to bulb onions imported from Mexico - United States, 2021.

In 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and state and local health and regulatory partners investigated an outbreak of serovar Oranienburg infections linked to bulb onions from Mexico, resulting in 1040 illnesses and 260 hospitalizations across 39 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
