Ischemia–Reperfusion Injury in Free Flaps: Molecular Mechanisms and Protective Effects of Remote Ischemic Preconditioning

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 29, Issue 15, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Ischemia–reperfusion injury remains a major challenge in free flap surgery, contributing to oxidative stress, inflammation, and cell death that impair tissue viability and outcomes. Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) has emerged as a potential protective strategy by modulating cellular stress responses, but its molecular mechanisms in free

Disparities in Breast Reconstruction After Mastectomy in Southeast Asia: A Systematic Review

Journal of Surgical Oncology, Volume 131, Issue 8, Page 1601-1619, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in Southeast Asia. However, significant disparities in access to postmastectomy breast reconstruction persist due to cultural, economic, and healthcare‐related factors. These disparities result in unequal access to care, impacting patient outcomes, and overall quality of life.
