Successful fat-only whole breast reconstruction using cultured mature adipocytes and conditioned medium containing MCP-1
A mastectomy is a curative treatment for breast cancer. It causes breast and soft tissue deficits, resulting in a chest with poor vascularity....
-
Cost analysis of pre-pectoral implant-based breast reconstruction
With improvement in mastectomy skin flap viability and increasing recognition of animation deformity following sub-pectoral implant placement, there...

Neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy is safe and feasible for breast conserving surgery or immediate reconstruction
This study aimed to evaluate the survival outcomes of neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy (NARCT) for early breast cancer. Female patients ≤ 80 years old...

The effect of immediate postoperative intravenous administration of ferric carboxymaltose after autologous free-flap breast reconstruction
Intravenous ferric carboxymaltose (IV-FCM) can effectively correct perioperative anemia in patients undergoing major surgeries. However, its efficacy...
-
The role of psychosocial factors in patients’ recollections of breast reconstruction options discussed with their surgeons
A patient’s comprehension and memory of conversations with their providers plays an important role in their healthcare. Adult breast cancer patients...
-
Longitudinal analysis of long-term outcomes of abdominal flap-based microsurgical reconstruction and two-stage prosthetic reconstruction
Two-stage tissue expander/implant (TE/I) and deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flaps are the two main pillars of breast reconstruction. This...
-
Optical breast atlas as a testbed for image reconstruction in optical mammography
We present two optical breast atlases for optical mammography, aiming to advance the image reconstruction research by providing a common platform to...
-
Cost-effective, portable, patient-dedicated three-dimensional automated breast ultrasound for point-of-care breast cancer screening
Breast cancer screening has substantially reduced mortality across screening populations. However, a clinical need persists for more accessible,...
-
Big data analysis of the risk factors and rates of perioperative transfusion in immediate autologous breast reconstruction
Patients undergoing autologous breast reconstruction (ABR) are more likely to require perioperative transfusions due to the increased intraoperative...
-
3D reconstruction based novel methods are more effective than traditional clinical assessment in breast cancer axillary lymph node metastasis prediction
The status of axillary lymph node metastases determines the treatment and overall survival of breast cancer (BC) patients. Three-dimensional (3D)...
-
An attenuation field network for dedicated cone beam breast CT with short scan and offset detector geometry
The feasibility of full-scan, offset-detector geometry cone-beam CT has been demonstrated for several clinical applications. For full-scan...

Microcirculatory changes in the skin after postmastectomy radiotherapy in women with breast cancer
Postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) increases the risk for complications after breast reconstruction. The pathophysiological mechanism underlying this...
-
Modular intercalary prosthetic reconstruction for malignant and metastatic tumours of the proximal femur
To illustrate the surgical technique and explore clinical outcomes of the reconstruction for the malignant and metastatic bone tumour of proximal...
-
Frequency-hop** along with resolution-turning for fast and enhanced reconstruction in ultrasound tomography
The distorted Born iterative (DBI) method is considered to obtain images with high-contrast and resolution. Besides satisfying the Born approximation...
-
Validating machine learning approaches for prediction of donor related complication in microsurgical breast reconstruction: a retrospective cohort study
Autologous reconstruction using abdominal flaps remains the most popular method for breast reconstruction worldwide. We aimed to evaluate a...

High-resolution, large field-of-view label-free imaging via aberration-corrected, closed-form complex field reconstruction
Computational imaging methods empower modern microscopes to produce high-resolution, large field-of-view, aberration-free images. Fourier...
-
A residual dense network assisted sparse view reconstruction for breast computed tomography
To develop and investigate a deep learning approach that uses sparse-view acquisition in dedicated breast computed tomography for radiation dose...
-
Disparities in quality of life among patients with breast cancer based on surgical methods: a cross-sectional prospective study
To determine the impact of breast conservation on quality of life and identify treatment-related and other demographic factors associated with...
