JPRAS Open
March 2025
Department of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, Hospital Universitario Son Espases, Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain.
Introduction: Extensive scalp defects present a significant reconstructive challenge due to the complex needs of patients that are often beyond the scope of conventional therapies, which makes free flaps the most reliable solution. Despite the variety of free flaps available for such cases, there is a lack of clear criteria for selecting the most suitable option. The primary objective of this study was to provide a simplified guide for the selection of donor sites for free flaps for achieving optimal reconstruction outcomes.

Cancer Immunol Immunother
January 2025
Division of Oncology, Department of Clinical Sciences Lund, and Lund University Cancer Center, Lund University, Lund, Sweden.
Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) in the tumor microenvironment are prognostically beneficial in many solid cancer types. Reports on TLS in high-grade serous tubo-ovarian carcinoma (HGSC) are few, and the prognostic impact is unclear. We investigated mature TLS (mTLS), immature TLS (iTLS) and lymphoid aggregates (LA) in primary adnexal tumors (PTs) and synchronous omental/peritoneal metastases (pMets) of HGSC.
