We encountered a case of a chronic expanding hematoma (CEH) that occurred bilaterally in the breast regions of a 42-year-old woman approximately 20 years after SBI removal. There have been no other reports of CEH occurring after implant removal. Furthermore, this is also the first case of a CEH that developed bilaterally in the breasts; most reported cases are of a unilaterally developed CEH. A CEH reportedly develops after a long period of time following trauma or surgery. If surgeons encounter an expanding tumor emerging from regions with such a history, they must consider the presence of a CEH even after implant removal, as in the present case. Hematomas caused by trauma or surgery are usually absorbed or are replaced with fibrous tissue. In rare cases, they can chronically increase as CEHs. Herein, we report a case of a CEH that occurred in both breasts approximately 20 years after silicone breast implant removal.

High-Q Emission from Colloidal Quantum Dots Embedded in Polymer Quasi-BIC Metasurfaces.

Nano Lett

January 2025

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois 60208, United States.

Metasurfaces supporting narrowband resonances are of significant interest in photonics for molecular sensing, quantum light source engineering, and nonlinear photonics. However, many device architectures rely on large refractive index dielectric materials and lengthy fabrication processes. In this work, we demonstrate quasi-bound states in the continuum (quasi-BICs) using a polymer metasurface exhibiting experimental quality factors of 305 at visible wavelengths.

Background: The continuous development in digital prosthodontics allowed the customization of attachments and retentive inserts which offers an easy and cheap solution for regular maintenance of locator overdentures during daily practice. The present study compared the change in retention values of the fully digitally manufactured custom-made locator attachment retentive insert with the ready-made ones after insertion, removal, and masticatory cycles.

Methods: A complete denture was constructed over a mandibular edentulous epoxy model.

To evaluate the feasibility of liver tract embolization after transhepatic biliary drainage using a biodegradable polymer plug (IMPEDE-FX, Shape Memorial Medical, Santa Clara, CA, USA).In a retrospective observational study, 15 plug embolizations were performed in 13 patients at risk for tract-related adverse events (AEs). Risk factors included coagulopathy, cirrhosis, central bile duct puncture, previous drain-related bleeding, malignant obstruction, large tract diameter, or multilevel strictures.

Background: Reoperation is a major adverse event following surgical treatment but has yet to be used as a primary outcome measure in population studies to assess current treatments for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The purpose of the present study was to explore the risk factors associated with reoperations following procedures under anesthesia ("operations") for DDH in patients between the ages of 1 and 3.00 years, with the goal of deriving treatment recommendations.

Cortical windows for implant and cement removal during revision total elbow arthroplasty.

JSES Int

November 2024

Division of Hand and Upper-Extremity Surgery, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine, Geisinger MSKI, Danville, PA, USA.

Background: Revision total elbow arthroplasty (rTEA) remains a technically challenging procedure with potential for substantial morbidity. Cases involving excessively long cement mantles, removal of well-fixed implants or infected revisions requiring complete cement removal introduce additional technical challenges. Our purpose was to describe the outcomes, results, and complications associated with the use of cortical windows in rTEA.
