Background: Secondary breast reduction is complex and poses significant challenges to surgeons. Complication rates exceed those of primary reduction, commonly caused by impaired vascular supply of the nipple-areolar complex (NAC). Literature on the topic is scare and provides contradicting recommendations, especially with regard to pedicle choice in cases with unknown primary reduction technique. Aim of this study was to investigate international trends and to compare findings with literature.

Methods: A large-scale web-based questionnaire on international trends in mammaplasty (mastopexy and breast reduction) was designed and distributed to over five thousand surgeons in eight geographic regions. The presented manuscript evaluated information regarding pedicle choice in secondary breast reduction and compared data to literature identified in a systematic review.

Results: The survey was completed by 1431 participants. Overall, secondary procedures were performed in less than 5% or in 5 to 10% of cases. The preferred pedicle for secondary reductions differed significantly between geographic regions (p<0.001). The majority of respondents reported to use a superior or supero-medial pedicle (34.8% and 32.2%, respectively). Residual analysis revealed a strong association between the use of an inferior pedicle and procedures performed in North America.

Conclusions: Secondary breast reduction is challenging and there remains international disparity with regard to pedicle choice for secondary procedures. Studies investigating outcome when the primary pedicle is unknown are scarce and provide incoherent recommendations. High-quality data is needed to provide evidence-based practice guidelines.

Accurate segmentation of breast tumor in ultrasound images through joint training and refined segmentation.

Authors:
Xiaoyan Shen Xinran Wu Ruibo Liu Hong Li Jiandong Yin Liangyu Wang He Ma

Phys Med Biol 2022 Aug 12. Epub 2022 Aug 12.

College of Medicine and Biological Information Engineering, Northeastern University, NORTHEASTERN UNVERSITY, Shenyang, Liaoning, 110016, CHINA.

Objective: This paper proposes an automatic breast tumor segmentation method for two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound images, which is significantly more accurate, robust, and adaptable than common deep learning models on small datasets.

Approach: A generalized joint training and refined segmentation framework (JR) was established, involving a joint training module (Jmodule) and a refined segmentation module (Rmodule). In Jmodule, two segmentation networks are trained simultaneously, under the guidance of the proposed Jocor for Segmentation (JFS) algorithm. Read More

Division of Oncology and Surgery, Department of Surgery, Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital, Kaohsiung, Taiwan.

Introduction: There has been an ongoing debate about the benefits and risks between synchronous surgery and two independent surgery of ovary tumor removal and breast reconstruction. Here we report a synchronous oncological surgery and immediate postmastectomy reconstruction of double primary cancers of the ovary and breast.

Patient Concerns: A 58-year-old woman presented with a right breast lump and ascites. Read More

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of calcium-alginate (CA) containing essential oils (AFEOs) as a potential antioxidant and antimicrobial coating on quality attributes and shelf life of chicken meat throughout keeping period (4°C). Five treatments were produced as follows: T1 (distilled water as control), T2 (2% CA), T3 (2% CA +500 ppm AFEOs), T4 (2% CA +1000 ppm AFEOs), and T5 (2% CA +1500 ppm AFEOs). The chicken meats packaged in polyethylene bags at atmospheric condition and physicochemical, microbiological, and organoleptic properties were assessed at days 1, 4, 8, and 12. Read More

Endothelial dysfunction plays a pivotal role in the development and progression of diabetic vascular complications. Naringenin (Nar) is a flavanone bioactive isolated from citrus fruits known to have and antidiabetic properties. However, whether Nar affects endothelial function remains unclear in diabetes or under high-glucose (HG) condition. Read More
