Background: Autologous breast reconstruction patients require thorough assessment, with the profunda femoris artery perforator (PAP) flap having become an important autologous reconstruction option alongside the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap. Breast reconstruction impacts patients psychologically, physically and mentally. The BREAST-Q aids in the assessment of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).

The goal is to improve early recovery outcomes, reduce hospitalization time, and enhance patient satisfaction by implementing a standardized approach to postoperative care.
Methods: This study was conducted at the University of Malaya Medical Center.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effects of Zn proteinate (Zn-Prot M) on mitigating intestinal damage caused by heat stress in broilers, using a randomized design to compare outcomes between HS and non-HS groups.
- Results revealed that heat stress reduced crucial protein expressions related to intestinal barrier function while increasing inflammatory markers, but dietary supplementation with Zn-Prot M, particularly at 60 mg/kg, significantly improved these parameters in HS broilers.
- The findings indicate that Zn-Prot M can help restore intestinal barrier integrity during heat stress by enhancing the expression of tight junction proteins and suppressing inflammation pathways.
Background And Hypothesis: Published literature suggests that sleep duration and quality may be affected in adults with chronic kidney disease. However, the relationship between these two entities remains a matter of debate. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to assess the effect of sleep duration and quality on chronic kidney disease.
