SurLym trial: study protocol for a multicentre pragmatic randomised controlled trial on the added value of reconstructive lymphatic surgery to decongestive lymphatic therapy for the treatment of lymphoedema.

Introduction: Lymphoedema is a chronic condition caused by lymphatic insufficiency. It leads to swelling of the limb/midline region and an increased risk of infection. Lymphoedema is often associated with mental and physical problems limiting quality of life.

Tackling upcoming projects: The development and efficacy of event previews an experimental study.

Traditional performance management systems are increasingly seen as ill-conceived for today's dynamic organizational landscape. Researchers and practitioners advocate for agile PM systems that emphasize continuous monitoring, learning, and feedback. We present the 'event preview', a novel approach that is designed to address several shortcomings of traditional performance management practices.

Lipedema: What we don't know.

Background: Lipedema is a loose connective tissue disease characterized by a disproportionate accumulation of adipose tissue in the limbs of women. Despite its incidence of 10-20%, lipedema is often underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed.

Objectives: This review aims to outline current, available evidence regarding this enigmatic syndrome and gives a synopsis of the subjects that are still unknown.

[Treatment of pseudogynecomastia in massive weight loss patients: Liposuction assisted and made-to-measure desepidermization technique].

Background: After massive weight loss (MWL), the chest in men may show significant deformities. The surgical treatment of gynecomastia after MWL remains a difficult and partially misunderstood surgery due to 4 main factors: a complex excess of skin in height and width that sometimes continues in the axilla or dorsal region, a predominantly fatty rather than glandular component, the malposition of the nipple-areola complex (NAC) that is often enlarged and an inframammary fold (IMF) that is often marked. The techniques currently described are either insufficient or lead to frequent and/or significant complications.

Oncologic Safety of Immediate Breast Reconstruction: A Single-Center Retrospective Review of 138 Patients.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the oncologic safety of mastectomies associated with immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) in terms of recurrence and survival.

Methods: A retrospective review was conducted at a single center (CHU UCL Namur, Belgium). We analyzed the oncologic safety of IBR for patients with invasive and in situ breast cancer who underwent mastectomy associated with IBR.

Application of the QUENCHER methodology to the food industry.

The QUENCHER method is a time and cost-saving extraction-free procedure measuring in vitro antioxidant capacity which appears highly relevant from an industrial perspective. However, grinding and exact weighting of material may be considered as critical points and were addressed in the present paper. Increasing sample weight at constant ABTS volume reduced TEAC values up to 50%.

[Profunda artery perforator flap: Reliable secondary option for breast reconstruction?].

Background: In recent years, the DIEP-flap has become the standard for autologous breast reconstruction. However, when abdominal donor site is unavailable, secondary options are numerous. This report documents our experience with PAP-flap breast reconstruction.

[Advantages of the superior areolar approach for tuberous breast II and III correction with implants].

Tuberous breast is a mammary malformation that remains difficult to treat in most cases. It results from an abnormal development of the mammary base, mainly at the lower pole of the breast. The superficialis fascia is adherent to the dermis and deep plane.

Classification and prognosis of psychoses.

This article is a report of the symposium "classification and outcome of psychoses" (Jerusalem, 20 June 1982, 13th CINP-congress). As for scientific as for clinical reasons, there is a large need for a good and operational classification system. Different classification systems are examined.
