Lateral intercostal artery perforator (LICAP) flap for breast volume augmentation provides the benefits of addressing axillary tissue excess and avoiding intramuscular dissection. Previous experience with the LICAP flap in patients with prior breast conservation therapy (BCT) has led to the development of an extended version for massive weight loss (MWL) patients as well. A retrospective review of all cases of LICAP flaps was performed by a single surgeon. Data were subsequently extracted and analyzed including patient demographics, indication and timing of volume augmentation, complications, and follow-up length. From 2016 to 2020, 12 patients underwent 16 LICAP flaps for volume augmentation. Indications for volume augmentation included deficits from prior oncologic surgery (ten patients) and loss of volume due to MWL (two patients). The average BMI was 29.9 kg/m . Among the oncologic group, eight patients had delayed reconstruction, while two were immediate. Nine patients underwent radiation prior to volume augmentation. Eight of the 14 patients simultaneously received fat grafting. There were 4 cases of delayed wound healing that improved with local wound care. There were no statistically significant differences in complication rates between the oncologic and MWL groups. The average length of follow-up was 11.4 months. This study supports that the application of the LICAP flap can be effectively broadened from the oncologic population to the MWL population. If needed, extending the flap provides an option to simultaneously address excess axillary and back tissue.

We hypothesise that this is due to the effect of H2O2 on fibrin clot architecture via fibrinolysis. We investigate the mechanisms and discuss the clinical implications using an in vitro model. Coagulation assays with normal saline (NaCl), 1% and 3% concentrations of H2O2 were performed to determine the effect on fibrin clot formation. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/bx-795.html These effects were confirmed by spectrophotometry. The effects of 1%, 3% and 10% H2O2 on the macroscopic and microscopic features of fibrin clots were assessed at set time intervals and compared to a NaCl control. Quantitative analysis of fibrin networks was undertaken to determine the fibre length, diameter, branch point density and pore size. Fibrin clots immersed in 1%, 3% and 10% H2O2 demonstrated volume losses of 0.09-0.25mm3/min, whereas those immersed in the normal saline gained in volume by 0.02±0.13 mm3/min. Quantitative analysis showed that H2O2 affects the structure of the fibrin clot in a concentration-dependent manner, with the increase in fibre length, diameter and consequently pore sizes. Our results support our hypothesis that the efficacy of H2O2 in cleaning blood from wounds is enhanced by its effects on fibrin clot architecture in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The observed changes in fibre size and branch point density suggest that H2O2 is acting on the quaternary structure of the fibrin clot, most likely via its effect on cross-linking of the fibrin monomers and may therefore be of benefit for the removal of other fibrin-dependent structures such as wound slough.•Extrapulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis is rare and can be associated with tuberous sclerosis.•Recognition of lymphangioleiomyomatosis is important for early disease screening and genetic testing.•Lymphangioleiomyomatosis in lower uterine segment is very rare and can be overlooked.Our objective was to assess the health facility related factors that cause delays in cervical cancer diagnosis at a primary healthcare level in Rwanda. Healthcare providers in outpatient clinics at 10 health centers in Kigali city and the Eastern province of Rwanda were surveyed. Eighty-five healthcare providers participated; 83.5% were nurses and the remainder were midwives. Only 15 (17.6%) reported prior training on visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) cervical cancer screening, and they were distributed among 6 of the 10 health centers surveyed. However, 76.5% of respondents reported that at least one person was trained in VIA at their health center. The basic equipment necessary for cervical cancer evaluation was reported to be generally available. Overall, only 31.8% of participants had good basic knowledge level on cervical cancer screening. No association was found between respondents' knowledge about cervical cancer screening and profession, education level, work experience or reported prior training on VIA. There is a gap in the number of primary healthcare providers with the skills to perform pelvic exam and VIA cervical cancer screening at health centers in Rwanda. As health centers are the first point of contact for patients with the healthcare system, there is a need to improve their knowledge and skills in performing cervical cancer screening and detection.Epithelioid trophoblastic tumor (ETT) is a rare variant of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) that develops from chorionic-type intermediate trophoblast, is more resistant to chemotherapy than choriocarcinoma, and presents with metastatic disease in 25-35% of cases. We report a case of a 32-year-old who presented one week postpartum with severe abdominal pain and was found to have profound anemia and an elevated hCG level. CT scans and MRI revealed bleeding from hepatic masses, multiple hemorrhagic pulmonary nodules, a 7 cm uterine mass, and brain metastases. She underwent emergent hepatic embolization, was started on induction chemotherapy with weekly low-dose etoposide and cisplatin followed by a transition to etoposide, high-dose methotrexate, actinomycin D, etoposide, and cisplatin (HD EMA-EP), received stereotactic brain radiotherapy, and subsequently underwent minimally-invasive hysterectomy. She remains disease free over one year after the completion of treatment. An aggressive multimodal treatment approach employing etoposide/cisplatin-based chemotherapy as well as surgical procedures to control hemorrhage or excise resistant disease, and radiotherapy for brain metastases can result in successful treatment of stage IV ETT.
