Women sports wearer's comfort and health are greatly impacted by the breast movements and resultant sports bra compression to prevent excessive movement. However, as sports bras are only made in universal sizes, they do not offer the right kind of support that is required for a certain activity. To prevent this issue, textile-based strain sensors may be utilized to track compression throughout various activities to create activity-specific designed sports bras.

Introduction: In breast cancer patients undergoing mastectomy without reconstruction, an external breast prosthesis could aid patients' recovery, improve body image and confidence by helping to regain a symmetrical chest appearance when dressed. However, external breast prosthesis preferences among Asian breast cancer patients were not widely studied. We aimed to compare patients' experience with the conventional commercially manufactured standard-sized (small, medium, large, extra-large) bra and prosthesis versus customized hand-knitted external breast prosthesis with patient's bra after unilateral mastectomy at a tertiary hospital.

Article Synopsis
- * A retrospective review compared outcomes between 12 patients using Vicryl mesh and 34 patients using traditional acellular dermal matrices, focusing on complications, operative time, and costs.
- * The Vicryl group showed low complication rates and required significantly less surgical time (35.7 min vs. 68.0 min), resulting in a cost savings of $8,273 per breast compared to the acellular dermal matrix method.
Facile fabrication of hypercrosslinked microporous polymer nanospheres for effective inhibition of triple negative breast cancer cells proliferation.

Electronic address:
Treatment failure is one of the main lethal causes of human triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients due to inefficient drug administration. The present study demonstrated the development of functional microporous organic polymers (MOPs) as a potential drug carrier and its controlled release. Due to the existence of abundant pores and high surface area, MOPs have promoted the high drug payloads, facilitating prolonged retention time and improved drug release.

Laboratory of Medical Materials, Tomsk State University, Tomsk, Russia.
A case of the successful reconstruction of an extensive chest wall defect combined with a ventral hernia in a patient after multimodality treatment of breast cancer complicated by sternal and costal osteomyelitis is presented. To recover the chest mechanics, with emphasis on the supporting function, and to repair the hernial defect, customized reinforced "sandwich" TiNi rib endografts and knitted TiNi surgical mesh were used. A five-year follow-up indicated no recurrence of osteomyelitis or ventral hernia, and no failure/migration of the implants or instability of the thorax.
