Reduce Flap Necrosis After Autologous Breast Reconstruction: A Systematic Review.
J Craniofac Surg

Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, P. R. China.
Background: Autologous breast reconstruction provides substantial benefits in terms of aesthetics and longevity. However, the risk of flap necrosis poses potential challenges to patients' appearance and psychological well-being, while also escalating health care costs. Consequently, examining the risk factors, assessment techniques, and therapeutic approaches for flap necrosis is critically important.

This study examines the global evolution of sow productivity, with a particular focus on Spain. The analysis is based on key performance metrics such as piglets weaned per sow per year (PWSY), prolificacy, and pre-weaning mortality, utilizing data from literature reviews, the InterPIG, and BDporc databases. Globally, significant advancements in genetic selection and management practices have led to productivity increases across major pig-producing countries, with notable improvements in prolificacy.

In Burkina Faso and many West African countries, Spermophagus niger (L.) is the main insect pest of Hibiscus sabdariffa seeds stored with considerable damage. Variations in bioclimatic conditions can lead to significant changes in the morphology and biology of populations of the same insect species, leading to strains that are morphologically and biologically different and that would react differently to a given control method.

Department of Critical Care Medicine and Neurosurgery of Huashan Hospital, State Key Laboratory of Medical Neurobiology and MOE Frontiers Center for Brain Science, Institutes of Brain Science, Fudan University, Shanghai 200032, China. Electronic address:
Lipid droplets (LDs) are dynamic organelles essential for lipid storage and organismal survival. Studies have highlighted the importance of glial function in brain LD formation during aging; however, the genes and mechanisms involved remain elusive. Here, we found that Ugt35b, a member of the uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glycosyltransferases that catalyze the transfer of glycosyl groups to acceptors, is highly expressed in glia and crucial for Drosophila lifespan.

Understanding effects of extreme heat across diverse settings is critical as social determinants play an important role in modifying heat-related risks. We apply a multi-scale analysis to understand spatial variation in the effects of heat across Mexico and explore factors that are explaining heterogeneity. Daily all-cause mortality was collected from the Mexican Secretary of Health and municipality-specific extreme heat events were estimated using population-weighted temperatures from 1998 to 2019 using Daymet and WorldPop datasets.
