Introduction: Breast augmentation is a prevalent procedure in plastic surgery. In this article we present the Aqua Breast Technique (ABA), an approach aimed at enhancing patient satisfaction and reducing downtime. This technique leverages tumescent anesthesia and a small incision in the inframammary fold, avoiding electrocautery and surgical drains, to fulfill the growing demand for painless procedures with minimal recovery periods.

Background The consumption of recreational and medicinal cannabis in the United States continues to increase. Understanding the effects of cannabis in patients undergoing elective primary breast augmentation (EPBA) is of paramount importance with the expanding rates of reported cannabis consumption.

Positive correlations between mates can increase trait variation and prevalence, as well as bias estimates from genetically informed study designs. While past studies of similarity between human mating partners have largely found evidence of positive correlations, to our knowledge, no formal meta-analysis has examined human partner correlations across multiple categories of traits. Thus, we conducted systematic reviews and random-effects meta-analyses of human male-female partner correlations across 22 traits commonly studied by psychologists, economists, sociologists, anthropologists, epidemiologists and geneticists.

Background: Multiple reviews have been conducted on the associations between residential mold and dampness and respiratory outcomes in children, with few specifically investigating respiratory tract infections (RTIs).
Objective: We aimed to review and synthesize the available epidemiological literature on mold and dampness and risk of RTIs and respiratory symptoms compatible with RTIs in children living in high-income countries.
Method: We performed a systematic search of literature available from MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science for observational studies.

Dr Swanson is a plastic surgeon in private practice in Leawood, KS.
Background: The Keller funnel (Allergan; AbbVie Inc, North Chicago, IL) is commonly used to insert breast implants as part of a "no touch" protocol. Many plastic surgeons believe that this device reduces the risk of capsular contracture. This review was undertaken to evaluate the evidence regarding any reduction in capsular contracture rate, other possible benefits, safety and to investigate financial conflict of interest.
