Clinical applications of the chimeric anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap in head and neck reconstruction.
[BACKGROUND] Surgical site infection (SSI) is a common complication following head and neck surgery. Dead space at the excision site can increase the risk of infection, abscess formation, and mortality. Herein, we evaluated the performance …

Self-rehabilitation combined with botulinum toxin to improve arm function in people with chronic stroke. A randomized controlled trial.
[BACKGROUND] Botulinum toxin injection (BTI) reduces muscle hyperactivity, but its effect on active upper-limb function is limited. Intensive rehabilitation could optimize the effects; however, outpatient post-stroke rehabilitation is usual…

Does botulinum toxin treatment improve upper limb active function?
[BACKGROUND] Spasticity following lesions of the central nervous system such as stroke is a major cause of impairment and disability, especially when it affects the upper limb, and can be focally relieved by intramuscular injections of botu…

Effect of botulinum toxin injection on length and force of the rectus femoris and triceps surae muscles during locomotion in patients with chronic hemiparesis (FOLOTOX).
[BACKGROUND] After stroke, spasticity of the rectus femoris (RF) and triceps surae (TS) muscles frequently alters the gait pattern. Knee flexion and ankle dorsiflexion in swing are often reduced, respectively called Stiff Knee Gait (SKG) an…

Effects of a 6-month self-rehabilitation programme in addition to botulinum toxin injections and conventional physiotherapy on limitations of patients with spastic hemiparesis following stroke (ADJU-TOX): protocol study for a randomised controlled, investigator blinded study.
[INTRODUCTION] Home-based self-rehabilitation programmes combined with botulinum toxin injections (BTIs) appear to be a relevant approach to increase the recommended intensive rehabilitation of patients with spasticity following a stroke. T…

Exploratory analysis of the human breast DNA methylation profile upon soymilk exposure.
Upon soy consumption, isoflavone metabolites attain bioactive concentrations in breast tissue possibly affecting health. Though in vitro epigenetic activity of soy metabolites has been described, the in vivo impact on the epigenome is large…

Bilateral mammoplasty for cancer: Surgical, oncological and patient-reported outcomes.
[INTRODUCTION] Bilateral mammoplasty (BM) can optimise oncological safety and aesthetic outcomes in women with large or ptotic breasts whose tumour to breast volume ratio or tumour location pose a challenge to standard breast-conserving the…

Standard wide local excision or bilateral reduction mammoplasty in large-breasted women with small tumours: Surgical and patient-reported outcomes.
[INTRODUCTION] Oncoplastic breast surgery is used to extend the role of breast-conserving surgery (BCS) to women with an unfavourable tumour to breast volume ratio. However, large-breasted women with a relatively small breast cancer may be …
- Poster 370 An International, Observational Study of Botulinum Toxin Type A in Spasticity - SPAsticity in PractiCE (SPACE).

Disposition of soy isoflavones in normal human breast tissue.
[BACKGROUND] Despite decades of research on the relation between soy and breast cancer, questions regarding the absorption, metabolism, and distribution of isoflavones in breast tissue largely remain unanswered. [OBJECTIVE] We evaluated th…

Disposition of hop prenylflavonoids in human breast tissue.
Hop-derived products may contain xanthohumol (XN), isoxanthohumol (IX), and the potent phytoestrogen 8-prenylnaringenin (8-PN). To evaluate the potential health effects of these prenylflavonoids on breast tissue, their concentration, nature…

Autologous breast augmentation with the lateral intercostal artery perforator flap in massive weight loss patients.
The body contour deformities that develop in morbidly obese patients following bariatric surgery often involve the breasts. Mastopexy is virtually always required in the female massive weight loss patient, and breast augmentation is often a…

Shaping the breast in aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery: an easy three-step principle. Part III--reconstruction following breast conservative treatment.
Of the relatively few studies that exist regarding the cosmetic satisfaction of patients following breast conservation therapy, several indicate significant dissatisfaction in many patients. Breast conservation often results in some of the …

Shaping the breast in aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery: an easy three-step principle. Part IV--aesthetic breast surgery.
This is part IV of four articles describing the three-step principle for easy shaping of the breast in reconstructive and aesthetic breast surgery. This article may seem overdue because aesthetic corrections are routinely performed, frequen…

The versatility of the inter-costal artery perforator (ICAP) flaps.
[INTRODUCTION] Anatomy and classification of intercostal perforator flaps in addition to our experience with will be demonstrated for different indications. [MATERIAL AND METHODS] The intercostal vessels form an arcade between the aorta an…

The effect of ultrasound-assisted liposuction and conventional liposuction on the perforator vessels in the lower abdominal wall.
Scientific reports of clinical in vivo research into the effects and side-effects of ultrasonic-assisted liposuction (UAL) are scarce. Advocates of UAL claim that the damage to vascular and nervous structures is limited and even less than w…
