Objectives: APOLLO study, 'efficacy and safety of the deodorAnt Pad against Odour and uLceration for LOcally advanced breast cancer', aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of wearing a deodorant pad in patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) with an ulceration.
Methods: Komagome Pads were previously developed by Juntendo University and Kao Corporation. In test A, a conventional pad consisting of gauze, a commercially available diaper, pad, etc and the Komagome Pad were compared over 3 days to assess their efficacy and possible improvements for short-term use. In test B, the Komagome Pad was used continuously for 1 month to evaluate its safety during long-term use.
Results: This study included 14 patients in test A and nine in test B. In odour evaluation using sensory testing in test A, nine patients reported more significant efficacy in odour suppression with the Komagome Pad. The odour intensity of the Komagome Pad was lower on the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The group with a high level of exudation reported significantly higher satisfaction with the Komagome Pad. In test B, no adverse events were observed.
Conclusions: A new deodorant pad for LABC demonstrated high safety and deodorant efficacy.

Department of Urology, Toranomon Hospital, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: The impact of unilateral and bilateral nerve-sparing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (NS-RARP) procedures on continence and the time to continence recovery have not been established.
Material And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed a total of 2801 patients who underwent RARP in 9 institutions. Procedures were classified as NS or non-NS; NS procedures were further classified as unilateral or bilateral.

Department of Radiology, The Jikei University School of Medicine, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan.
Objective: The objective of this study was to determine correlations between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features including radiologic depth of invasion (r-DOI) and pathologic DOI (p-DOI) of squamous cell carcinoma of the buccal mucosa.
Study Design: In total, 31 lesions were retrospectively evaluated. MRI findings included detectability, buccinator muscle invasion (positive: BMI+, negative: BMI-), buccal fat pad invasion (positive: BFPI+, negative: BFPI-), and r-DOI measured on T2-weighted images (T2-DOI) and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images (CET1-DOI).

Reconstructive surgery following an internal hemipelvectomy for a malignant pelvic tumor is difficult due to the structural complexity of the pelvis and the massive extension of the tumor. While high complication rates have been encountered in various types of reconstructive surgery, resection without reconstruction reportedly involved fewer complications. However, this method often results in limb shortening with resultant instability during walking.

We report a rare case of para-articular osteochondroma of the infrapatellar fat pad. A 56-year-old woman presented with a 2-year history of mild anterior knee pain and a hard mass around the right knee. Plain radiographs and computed tomography revealed trabeculated ossification within the infrapatellar fat pad.
