Augmentation-mastopexy is a frequent procedure with high rates of early recurrence of breast ptosis, mainly after subglandular approach. The dual-plane techniques, based on the cranial dissection of the pectoralis, is the most used, but this plane does not cover the inferior pole of the breast. Then, the possibility of a downward dissection of the muscle seems to be more reasonable to retain the implant and improve postoperative results. This study aimed to review the anatomy of the pectoralis in cadavers and the use of its downward dissection to create a pocket for breast implant as a "shirt pocket." This maneuver was associated with a superior-based dermoglandular flap to overprotect the inferior pole. No complications were related in the postoperative period. The anatomic review showed that the "shirt pocket" is a safe option if done carefully. The technique demonstrated to be feasible and seemed to be effective, being another alternative to prevent early recurrence of breast ptosis in these procedures.

Article Synopsis
- Many factors can affect sperm quality, including telomere length, which is linked to aging, cancer, and lifestyle choices.
- The study analyzed how lifestyle habits (like diet, smoking, and physical activity) influence sperm telomere length and subsequently pregnancy outcomes in IVF patients.
- Results showed that a healthy diet and more physical activity were associated with longer telomeres, while smoking negatively impacted sperm motility, emphasizing the importance of a healthy lifestyle for fertility.

Little was known about the relationship between carrying mobile phone handsets by men and their risk perception of radiofrequency-electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) exposure due to carrying handsets close to the body. This study aimed to determine where men usually carried their handsets and to assess the relationship to risk perception of RF-EMF. Participants completed a self-administered questionnaire about mobile phone use, handset carrying locations, and levels of risk perception to RF-EMF.

Ecological evaluation of gait using mobile technologies provides crucial information regarding the evolution of symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the reliability and validity of such information may be influenced by the smartphone's location on the body. This study analyzed how the smartphone location affects the assessment of PD patients' gait in a free-living environment.
