In vivo neutralization of coral snake venoms with an oligoclonal nanobody mixture in a murine challenge model.

Oligoclonal mixtures of broadly-neutralizing antibodies can neutralize complex compositions of similar and dissimilar antigens, making them versatile tools for the treatment of e.g., infectious diseases and animal envenomations.

Cross-reactivity trends when selecting scFv antibodies against snake toxins using a phage display-based cross-panning strategy.

Antibodies with cross-reactive binding and broad toxin-neutralizing capabilities are advantageous for treating indications such as infectious diseases and animal envenomings. Such antibodies have been successfully selected against closely related antigens using phage display technology. However, the mechanisms driving antibody cross-reactivity typically remain to be elucidated.

Immediate Postmastectomy Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction: An Outpatient Procedure?

Background: Coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) poses unique challenges for breast reconstruction. At the authors' institution, COVID-19 postoperative protocols mandated patients undergoing immediate prosthetic breast reconstruction transition from 23-hour postoperative observation to same-day discharge. The authors sought to compare complications and hospital costs between these groups.

Assessing Clinical Outcomes in Autologous Fat Grafting: A Current Literature Review.

Autologous fat grafting, first described in the 1890s, has since undergone many modifications to optimize safety and efficacy. These changes have resulted in the technique that we now consider standard of care, one that is applied to reconstruction and cosmetic enhancement of the breast and the face both independently and in conjunction with surgical treatment. There is a growing body of evidence that this application has positive outcomes for patient satisfaction, surgeon satisfaction, and overall aesthetic appearance.
