Reduction mammoplasty is one of the most common procedures performed by plastic surgeons in Canada. The Wise and vertical scar techniques are two of the most commonly published and performed. Although the horizontal breast reduction is a less commonly used technique, it offers added benefits over other procedures. These include elimination of the vertical scar and a consistently round nipple. However, one of the criticisms of the horizontal technique is the loss of projection of the breast mound. The present article outlines several important points that can aid in achieving an optimal aesthetic result when performing a horizontal breast reduction.

Breast cancer (BC) is a prevalent malignancy in women, often necessitating tumor resection and breast reconstruction surgeries. However, the post-operation scars can be of concern, as hypertrophic scars (HS) can profoundly impact patients' quality of life. Our study used the bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) method to explore the potential relationship between BC and HS.

Background: Over the past 2 decades, vertical scar reduction mammaplasty techniques have been gaining more acceptance. However, many surgeons are still hesitant to use it routinely because of the uncertainty of the effectiveness of vertical scar techniques in managing lower pole skin excess. We aimed to test its efficacy by using objective anthropometric measurements to evaluate long-term breast shape and lower pole stability.

(1) Background: Chagas disease is a public health problem affecting nearly 2 million women of reproductive age in Latin America. From these, 4-8% can transmit the infection to the foetus through the vertical route, whereas horizontal transmission through milk during breastfeeding remains controversial. Therefore, the presence of () DNA in the milk of women seropositive for Chagas disease was analysed to determine whether a relationship with the infection of their children can exist.

Objective: Previous studies have established a causal relationship between metabolites and breast cancer (BC), but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Thus, we aimed to investigate the genetic relationship between metabolites and BC, including its subtypes, using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.
Methods: Utilizing the latest and most comprehensive summary statistics from genome-wide association studies we conducted an Mendelian randomization study.

Background: Breast milk is a natural treasure for infants, and its microbiota contains a rich array of bacterial species. When breastfeeding is not possible, infant formula with probiotics can be used as a sole source or as a breast milk supplement. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the growth outcomes and tolerance of infants consuming an infant formula containing Bifidobacterium animalis ssp.
