Non-Cicatricial Alopecia and Its Association with Anthropometric Measurements and Nutritional Laboratory Markers.

Alopecia constitutes one of the most common dermatological disorders, and its steadily increasing prevalence is a cause for concern. Alopecia can be divided into two main categories, cicatricial/scarring and non-cicatricial/non-scarring, depending on the causes of hair loss and its patterns. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between anthropometric and nutritional laboratory parameters in Caucasian adult women and men with non-cicatricial alopecia.

BIA-ALCL Epidemiology in an Aesthetic Breast Surgery Cohort of 1501 Patients.

Background: Epidemiologic studies on breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) currently estimate the risk between 1:300 and 1:30,000, assessed mainly in large breast reconstruction populations.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess BIA-ALCL epidemiology in a cohort of patients who have received textured implants for cosmetic indications.

Methods: In a prospective cohort observational study, 1501 patients who received a cosmetic breast augmentation between 2006 and 2016 were monitored, recording any implant-related complications, including BIA-ALCL.

Amniotic Band Syndrome in Adult Combined with Persistent Depressive Disorder.

Congenital amniotic band syndrome (ABS) is an anomaly with no proven etiology occurring in 0.7 per 10,000 live births. This defect mostly concerns the extremities and is often accompanied by other developmental anomalies.

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) in Poland: analysis of patient series and practical guidelines for breast surgeons.

Introduction: Although breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is infrequent, with less than 1000 noted cases worldwide, patients consenting for breast implant surgery should be aware of its risk. We describe the first Polish multicenter case-series data on BIA-ALCL patients and present diagnostic and treatment recommendation for breast surgeons.

Material And Methods: In cooperation with the Polish Society of Surgical Oncology and Polish Lymphoma Research Group, we collected BIA-ALCL cases in Poland.

Algorithm of hair restoration surgery in children.

Hair is an inseparable element of external appearance of every human being. Although various fashion trends come and go, the lack of hair is for many a major aesthetic and psychological problem. Even if men's balding can be accepted as a natural phenomenon, hair loss in children is considered to be a condition demanding correction.
