Background: Breast augmentation is the most common -cosmetic surgical procedure in the USA, with nearly 300,000 women undergoing surgery annually. National incidence rates predict that among women undergoing breast augmentation each year, approximately 35,000 will eventually be diagnosed with breast cancer, in particular individual / germline mutant carriers.
Case Report: Our case introduces a novel method of implant coverage after immediate post-mastectomy reconstruction in augmented patients. A novel "capsular flap" (flap of the pre-existing old capsule) is isolated and refolded to cover the outer lower portion of the implant.
Conclusion: Tailored surgical approaches can be offered to those patients previously augmented and requiring mastectomy after breast cancer diagnosis.

Investigating the frequency of neural autoantibodies in refractory focal epilepsy.
Seizure
January 2025
Neurology department, Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, Brisbane, Australia.
Objectives: There have been conflicting reports about the frequency of neural autoantibodies in epilepsy cohorts, which is confounded by the lack of clear distinction of epilepsy from acute symptomatic seizures due to encephalitis. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of neural autoantibodies in a well characterised population of refractory focal epilepsy of known and unknown cause.
Methods: Cases were recruited from epilepsy outpatient clinics at the Princess Alexandra, Mater, Royal Brisbane and Women's and Cairns Base Hospitals from 2021 - 2023.
A Novel Preoperative Scoring System to Accurately Predict Cord-Level Intraoperative Neuromonitoring Data Loss During Spinal Deformity Surgery: A Machine-Learning Approach.
J Bone Joint Surg Am
November 2024
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, New York, NY.
Background: An accurate knowledge of a patient's risk of cord-level intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) data loss is important for an informed decision-making process prior to deformity correction, but no prediction tool currently exists.
Methods: A total of 1,106 patients with spinal deformity and 205 perioperative variables were included. A stepwise machine-learning (ML) approach using random forest (RF) analysis and multivariable logistic regression was performed.
Spine-Abductor Syndrome: Novel Associations Between Lumbar Spine Disease and Hip Gluteal Muscle Pathology.
J Bone Joint Surg Am
November 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, Ohio.
Background: Risk factors for gluteal tears include age-related deterioration, female sex, and increased body mass index. As the literature that supports the sagittal relationship between the lumbar spine and the hip is increasing, there may be a parallel relationship between the perturbations in spinopelvic alignment caused by lumbar spine disease and gluteal muscle tears. Because no prior studies other than single-institution series have reported on this phenomenon, we investigated spine-abductor syndrome at the population level.

Environ Technol

Department of Sanitary and Environmental Engineering, Federal University of Santa Catarina, Florianópolis, Brazil.
Precise estimates of vehicular emissions at fine spatial scales are essential for effective emission reduction strategies. Achieving high-resolution vehicular emission inventories necessitates detailed data on traffic flow, driving patterns, and vehicle speeds for each road network segment. However, in developing countries, the lack of comprehensive traffic data, limited infrastructure, and insufficient monitoring systems constrains the development of high-resolution inventories.
