Integration of patient-reported outcome measures with key clinical outcomes after immediate latissimus dorsi breast reconstruction and adjuvant treatment

, 2013
Background: linical evidence on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMS) in breast reconstruction is lacking. The aim of this study was to evaluate PROMs in implant-assisted latissimus dorsi (LDI) or tissue-only autologous latissimus dorsi (ALD) flap ...

New Insights Into the Anconeus Epitrochlearis Muscle and Its Relationship to the Ulnar Nerve: Anatomical Study

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ulnar neuropathy due to compression at the cubital tunnel is common. However, our understanding of the relationships between this type of nerve compression and the variant anconeus epitrochlearis muscle (AEM) is poorly understood. Therefore, the present anatomical study was performed to better elucidate these relationships.

Discovery of Novel Small Molecules that Block Myofibroblast Formation: Implications for Capsular Contracture Treatment

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2019
Background:. Capsular contracture is a devastating complication that occurs in patients undergoing implant-based breast reconstruction. Ionizing radiation drives and exacerbates capsular contracture in part by activating cytokines, including transforming
