Breast augmentation with anatomical implants offers several potential advantages. Tissue-based planning is patient specific and essential in choosing the correct dimensions of an implant, thereby providing greater control in breast shape following augmentation. This video vignette demonstrates tissue-based planning in a patient with a constricted breast, allowing the surgeon to accurately choose the proper implant dimensions, which correct the constriction while providing aesthetic control of breast shape. Operative techniques of precise pocket formation, prospective hemostasis, and judging the aesthetic contour following implant insertion are demonstrated.

Efficacy of Combined Encorafenib and Binimetinib Treatment for Erdheim-Chester Disease Harboring Concurrent BRAF and KRAS Mutations: A Case Report.

Article Synopsis
- Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare histiocytic condition often linked to mutations in the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway, with this case revealing concurrent BRAF and KRAS mutations.
- A 70-year-old male presented with symptoms indicative of ECD, and upon genetic testing, both BRAF and KRAS mutations were identified, allowing for targeted treatment with BRAF and MEK inhibitors.
- The combination therapy using encorafenib and binimetinib led to significant symptom relief and imaging improvements, marking the first reported use of this treatment in ECD patients.
Implants versus autologous tissue flaps for breast reconstruction following mastectomy.
Cochrane Database Syst Rev
October 2024
G.Re.T.A. Group for Reconstructive and Therapeutic Advancements, Milan, Italy.
Background: Women who have a mastectomy for breast cancer treatment or risk reduction may be offered different options for breast reconstruction, including use of implants or the woman's own tissue (autologous tissue flaps). The choice of technique depends on factors such as the woman's preferences, breast characteristics, preoperative imaging, comorbidities, smoking habits, prior chest or breast irradiation, and planned adjuvant therapies.
Objectives: To assess the effects of implants versus autologous tissue flaps for postmastectomy breast reconstruction on women's quality of life, satisfaction, and short- and long-term surgical complications.
Astrocytomas of the spinal cord.

Tumors of astrocytic origin represent one of the most frequent entities among the overall rare group of spinal cord gliomas. Initial clinical symptoms are often unspecific, and sensorimotor signs localizing to the spinal cord occur with progressing tumor growth. On MRI, a hyperintense intrinsic spinal cord signal on T-weighted sequences with varying degrees of contrast enhancement raises suspicion for an infiltrative neoplasm.

For diseases with high morbidity rates such as Glioblastoma Multiforme, the prognostic and treatment planning pipeline requires a comprehensive analysis of imaging, clinical, and molecular data. Many mutations have been shown to correlate strongly with the median survival rate and response to therapy of patients. Studies have demonstrated that these mutations manifest as specific visual biomarkers in tumor imaging modalities such as MRI.

Diagnosing and classifying central nervous system tumors such as gliomas or glioblastomas pose a significant challenge due to their aggressive and infiltrative nature. However, recent advancements in metabolomics and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) offer promising avenues for differentiating tumor grades both in vivo and ex vivo. This study aimed to explore tissue-based metabolic signatures to classify/distinguish between low- and high-grade gliomas.
