Mastopexy utilizing a dermoglandular hammock flap.

Authors:
Rafael de la Plaza Luis de la Cruz Carlos Moreno

Aesthet Surg J 2005 Jan-Feb;25(1):31-6

Background: Many procedures have been described in the search for the ideal mastopexy technique, ranging from simple cutaneous reduction, with or without glandular remodelling, to the use of dermal flaps fixed to the pectoral fascia, or even the use of silicone mesh or sheets.

Objective: We describe a technique that uses a dermoglandular hammock flap to achieve optimal position and shape of the breast; well located, good quality scars that are as short as possible; and satisfactory early- and long-term results.

Methods: A superior pedicle dermoglandular flap was raised from the lower pole of the breast and transposed to the upper pole. The flap is fixed like a hammock to the pectoral fascia and the wedge-shaped donor defect is closed by approximation and fixation of the medial and lateral pillars with absorbable sutures, thus releasing the tension in the skin suture line.

Results: Twenty-eight patients aged 19 to 58 years underwent the procedure. Adequate shape and projection were achieved in all cases. Partial dehiscence of the suture line developed in 1 patient. The scar quality was excellent, except in 2 cases in which some degree of temporary hypertrophy occurred.

Conclusions: In our experience with this technique, we obtained satisfactory position and shape; good quality, well-placed scars; long-lasting results; and preservation of the patient's ability to breast feed. The technique is simple to perform and is indicated in cases of moderate ptosis.

Linking Costs and Quality in Healthcare: Towards Sustainable Healthcare Systems Comment on "Hospitals Bending the Cost Curve With Increased Quality: A Scoping Review Into Integrated Hospital Strategies".

Authors:
Roland Bal Iris Wallenburg

Int J Health Policy Manag 2022 Jul 30. Epub 2022 Jul 30.

Erasmus School of Health Policy and Management, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Organisation-wide studies in cost and quality of care are rare, and Wackers et al make a valuable contribution in synthesizing the literature on this issue. Their paper provides a good overview of initiatives and a list of factors that help in furthering organisation-wide change. The eleven factors they distill from the literate however remain rather abstract and more work needs to be done to contextualize the factors and the work that is needed to accomplish them and to see how they are aligned.

Xi Lu Kee Jiar Yeo Fang Guo Zhenqing Zhao Ou Wu

BMC Public Health 2022 Aug 13;22(1):1548. Epub 2022 Aug 13.

Shulan International Medical College, Zhejiang Shuren University, Zhejiang, People's Republic of China.

Background: According to the validation literature on items of Young's Internet Addiction Test (IAT), this study rephrased disputable items to improve the psychometric properties of this Chinese version of IAT and identify the presence of differential item function (DIF) among demographic and Internet use factors; detect the effect of demographic and Internet use factors on IAT after adjusting for DIF.

Methods: An online questionnaire was distributed to college students in Zhe Jiang province in two stage. The 1st phase study collected 384 valid responses to examine the quality of IAT items by using Rasch Model analysis and exploring factor analysis (EFA). Read More

[Is pressure transmission quality during cystometry dependent on the type of effort?]

Sorbonne Université, GRC 01, GREEN Groupe de Recherche Clinique en Neuro-Urologie, AP-HP, Hôpital Tenon, 75020 Paris, France.

Introduction: The International Continence Society (ICS) recommends a control of the good pressure transmission by a coughing effort during cystometry. While poor transmission is sometimes observed in routine practice, other maneuvers can also be proposed. The main objective of this study was to determine if there is a better maneuver to evaluate the pressure transmission ratio between the abdominal cavity and the bladder. Read More

Ultrafiltration (UF) has been widely used in water and advanced sewage treatment. Unfortunately, membrane fouling is still the main obstacle to further improvement in the system. Fe (III) salt, a type of traditional coagulant, is often applied to mitigate UF membrane fouling. Read More

Adolescent sleep and the foundations of prefrontal cortical development and dysfunction.

Modern life poses many threats to good-quality sleep, challenging brain health across the lifespan. Curtailed or fragmented sleep may be particularly damaging during adolescence, when sleep disruption by delayed chronotypes and societal pressures coincides with our brains preparing for adult life via intense refinement of neural connectivity. These vulnerabilities converge on the prefrontal cortex, one of the last brain regions to mature and a central hub of the limbic-cortical circuits underpinning decision-making, reward processing, social interactions and emotion.
