Breast Reconstruction-Developing a Volumetric Outcome Algorithm.

The article by Yang et al., titled "Breast Reconstruction-Developing a Volumetric Outcome Algorithm," offers a detailed review of current research on breast volume loss, comparing various reconstruction methods and proposing strategies for optimization. The study examines the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in fat transplantation, highlighting improved fat retention when PRP-enriched grafts are used.

A Novel Technique Combining Human Acellular Dermal Matrix (HADM) and Enriched Platelet Therapy (EPT) for the Treatment of Vaginal Laxity: A Single-Arm, Observational Study.

The article titled "A Novel Technique Combining Human Acellular Dermal Matrix (HADM) and Enriched Platelet Therapy (EPT) for the Treatment of Vaginal Laxity" by Yang et al. explores the clinical efficacy of combining HADM and enriched platelet therapy for addressing vaginal laxity. According to the study, this combination therapy is considered both safe and effective, showing improvements in vaginal tightness and sexual function.

Cellular pattern and orbital fat involvement are possible risk factors for the failure of corticosteroids in patients with pure idiopathic orbital inflammation syndrome: lessons from the French prospective cohort study (part II).

Purpose: To better characterise the effects of corticosteroids on the course of pure idiopathic orbital inflammation syndrome (pIOIS).

Methods: This was a national, multicentre, prospective, non-interventional cohort study (). Among the 35 patients with histologically proven orbital inflammation who had previously been studied for their IgG4 immunostaining status, we selected those with a negative IgG4 status (ie, pIOIS) who received corticosteroids as single first-line treatment.

Needs assessment for creation of a platform trial network in metabolic-dysfunction associated steatohepatitis.

Background: The EU Patient-cEntric clinicAl tRial pLatforms (EU-PEARL) project (IMI2-853966) aimed to develop tools to establish integrated research platforms (IRP) for conducting adaptive-design trials in various diseases, including metabolic-dysfunction associated steatohepatitis (MASH). One essential component of a successful MASH IRP is a robust and reliable Clinical Research Network (CRN). Herein, we outline the required elements and anticipated steps to set-up such a CRN.

Minimum follow-up for closed rhinoseptoplasties.

Background: There is no established consensus on the postoperative follow-up from which the aesthetic and functional outcomes of rhinoseptoplasty are considered as stable.

Objectives: To contribute to defining the postoperative follow-up from which rhinoseptoplasty outcomes cease to evolve.

Methods: Postoperative assessments of Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) and Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation (ROE) scores from 357 closed structural rhinoseptoplasty procedures were prospectively gathered from January 2019 to December 2023.

Fertility preservation before cancer treatment: the dilemma of saying 'no' as the price of glory.

A great deal of work has been carried out by professionals in reproductive medicine in order to raise awareness about fertility preservation (FP) techniques, particularly for women, and to ensure that FP is included in the care of young adults treated for cancer or a pathology requiring gonadotoxic treatment. If the importance of the development of our discipline is obvious, our militancy in favour of FP and our emotional projections must not make us forget that medical thinking must be carried out not only on a case-by-case basis, weighing up the benefit-risk balance, but also without losing sight that conceiving a child with one's own gametes is not a vital issue. The cultural importance given to the genetic link with offspring may bias patients' and physicians' decisions, while other ways of achieving parenthood exist, and are often more effective.

Food web trophic control modulates tropical Atlantic reef ecosystems response to marine heat wave intensity and duration.

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are episodes of anomalous warming in the ocean that can last from a few days to years. MHWs have different characteristics in terms of intensity, duration and frequency and generate thermal stress in marine ecosystems. In reef ecosystems, they are one of the main causes of the decreased presence and abundance of corals, invertebrates and fish.

To drain or not to drain: A propensity score analysis of abdominal drainage after colorectal surgery for endometriosis.

Aim: To assess the benefit of prophylactic abdominal drainage (AD) after colorectal surgery for endometriosis.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 215 patients who underwent colorectal surgery for endometriosis using a mini-invasive approach in our center from February 2019 to July 2023. A propensity score matched (PSM) analysis (1:1 ratio) identified two groups of patients with similar characteristics.

Verifiable Blind Quantum Computing with Trapped Ions and Single Photons.

We report the first hybrid matter-photon implementation of verifiable blind quantum computing. We use a trapped-ion quantum server and a client-side photonic detection system networked via a fiber-optic quantum link. The availability of memory qubits and deterministic entangling gates enables interactive protocols without postselection-key requirements for any scalable blind server, which previous realizations could not provide.

Saliva-based microRNA diagnostic signature for the superficial peritoneal endometriosis phenotype.

Objective: Patients with superficial peritoneal endometriosis (SPE) present with symptoms suggestive of endometriosis but clinical and imaging exams are inconclusive. Consequently, laparoscopy is usually necessary to confirm diagnosis. The present study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of microRNAs (miRNAs) to diagnose patients with SPE from the ENDOmiARN cohort STUDY DESIGN: This prospective study (NCT04728152) included 200 saliva samples obtained between January and June 2021 from women with pelvic pain suggestive of endometriosis.

Advancing Dermatological Diagnostics: Interpretable AI for Enhanced Skin Lesion Classification.

A crucial challenge in critical settings like medical diagnosis is making deep learning models used in decision-making systems interpretable. Efforts in Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) are underway to address this challenge. Yet, many XAI methods are evaluated on broad classifiers and fail to address complex, real-world issues, such as medical diagnosis.

Cell-mediated exon skipping normalizes dystrophin expression and muscle function in a new mouse model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Cell therapy for muscular dystrophy has met with limited success, mainly due to the poor engraftment of donor cells, especially in fibrotic muscle at an advanced stage of the disease. We developed a cell-mediated exon skipping that exploits the multinucleated nature of myofibers to achieve cross-correction of resident, dystrophic nuclei by the U7 small nuclear RNA engineered to skip exon 51 of the dystrophin gene. We observed that co-culture of genetically corrected human DMD myogenic cells (but not of WT cells) with their dystrophic counterparts at a ratio of either 1:10 or 1:30 leads to dystrophin production at a level several folds higher than what predicted by simple dilution.

Risk Profiles and Treatment Patterns in Atrial Fibrillation Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease Receiving or not Receiving Anticoagulation Therapy.

 Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at high risk for both thromboembolism and bleeding events. The latter induces a potential reason for withholding oral anticoagulation (OAC) despite an indication for prophylaxis of thromboembolic events.  AF patients with CKD (estimated glomerular filtration [eGFR] rate between 15 and 49 mL/min per 1.

Outcomes of discoid excision and segmental resection for colorectal endometriosis: robotic versus conventional laparoscopy.

Surgery for deep endometriosis with colorectal involvement is an option after medical treatment failure. Over the past decade, robotic laparoscopy has emerged as an alternative to conventional laparoscopy. We aimed to evaluate surgical outcomes of robotic versus conventional laparoscopy for discoid excision and segmental resection.
