macromastia and received both preand postoperative surveys. All patients who attended shared medical appointments during the study period were administered the preoperative BREAST-Q1 as a condition-specific measure of satisfaction and wellbeing. Patients who received surgical treatment were also administered the postoperative BREAST-Q at least 3 months after surgery. BREAST-Q scores range from 0–100 for each tested domain, with 100 corresponding to highest well-being or satisfaction. In addition, we recorded grams of breast tissue removed during surgery and postoperative complications.

Review of studies on Mechanical Performance of Spinal Cord in Traumatic Injuries

Considering the extent of the disability caused by spinal cord injury and the increasing incidence of it, many attempts have been made to understand how this lesion is repaired. Most of the spinal cord injuries are traumatic injuries. The annual incidence of this damage is estimated between 15-40 cases per million people worldwide. Considering the extent of this incident, the need for study of ...

Abstract: Perfusion Assessment of the Deep Inferior Epigastric Artery Perforator Flap: A Blood Gas Analysis

ConClusion: We present a validated risk stratification tool for predicting 30-day SSM following reduction mammoplasty using data that are readily available to the clinician. This may allow targeted screening and intervention in high-risk patients, better counseling, selective resident participation, and ultimately decrease overall health-care costs. This is the first study to date that provides...
