Serological Evaluation for Measles among Italian and Foreign Medical Students in a University Hospital in Rome.

Background: Measles infection in the hospital setting is a major issue. Despite the availability of an effective vaccine, measles outbreaks continue to occur in some European countries. We aimed to evaluate the immunological status of medical students attending the Tor Vergata Polyclinic (PTV).

Conversion of Breast Implants into Natural Breast Reconstruction: Evaluating Lipofilled Mini Dorsi Flap.

Background: Autologous reconstruction techniques can provide a long-lasting natural breast reconstruction for patients. This study aimed to further investigate outcomes in the conversion of breast implant reconstruction into a lipofilled mini dorsi flap, focusing on reviewing its techniques, efficiency, and final results.

Methods: Over 3 years, we performed a number of breast implant replacements via the lipofilled mini dorsi flap technique.

Lipofilled Mini Dorsi Flap: An Efficient Less Invasive Concept for Immediate Breast Reconstruction.

Introduction: The traditional extended latissimus dorsi flap technique, in addition to lipofilling, has been one of the main procedures used for breast reconstruction after mastectomy. However, to obtain excellent results, this technique requires a large muscle harvest and further lipofilling sessions. The lipofilled mini dorsi flap technique, performed in a single operation, appealed to us as a way to improve the traditional technique.

Oncological Safety of Lipofilling in Healthy BRCA Carriers After Bilateral Prophylactic Mastectomy: A Case Series.

Objective: The germline breast cancer gene (BRCA) mutation confers a lifetime high risk for breast cancer (BC) and bilateral prophylactic mastectomy is the procedure which allows the highest risk reduction rate. Among other techniques, lipofilling (LF) can be used for breast reconstruction of these patients. However, there are some oncological safety concerns on the subject.

AN ELDERLY PATIENT WITH ACUTE TRANSIENT OUTER RETINAL DISRUPTION RESEMBLING BILATERAL MULTIPLE EVANESCENT WHITE DOT SYNDROME.

Purpose: To report an unusual case of an elderly patient with transient outer retinal disruption resembling bilateral multiple evanescent white dot syndrome.

Methods: Observational case report. Fundus photographs, fluorescein angiography, standard and ultra-widefield fundus autofluorescence, and cross-sectional and en face optical coherence tomography were used to characterize and describe the clinical findings.
