Harms of Pediatric Thyroid Cancer Overdiagnosis
To the Editor We read with interest the article by Qian et al, who reported thyroid cancer incidence among children in the United States. On the basis of similar trends between tumor sizes (0.1-2.0 and >2 cm) and between extent of diseases (localized and regional), they suggested 2 causes of the increase: overdiagnosis, associated with a 2006 recommendation for a similar diagnostic and therapeutic approach in children as in adults by the American Thyroid Association; and environmental risk factors, such as
Harms of Pediatric Thyroid Cancer Overdiagnosis—Reply
In Reply In our study, we reported that the incidence rate of pediatric thyroid cancer increased more rapidly during 2006 to 2013 than during 1973 to 2006. We proposed that this is likely owing to a combination of enhanced detection and a concurrent true increase in pediatric thyroid cancer incidence based on increased incidences of large tumors and regionally advanced disease. We have read the comments of Murakami et al and wish to address their concerns regarding the interpretation of the later finding.
Using Confidence Intervals to Quantify Statistical and Clinical Evidence for the Treatment Effect
This Viewpoint provides additional points that may further enhance proper use and interpretation of the confidence interval for making inference about the treatment effect.
Determining Operative Candidacy and Avoiding Regret
Every surgical oncologist bristles when considering whether to offer an operation of questionable benefit. Patient, oncologic, and clinician factors all influence whether a surgery is indicated and how to effectively navigate the necessary preoperative counseling and preparation. The inherent risks and rewards of cancer surgery are magnified when the underlying physical fitness of the patient is in question. Even when dealing with technically feasible operations for potentially curable malignant tumors, a p

Breast Implants and Radiation
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2019; 33: 240-246DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1696963One of the most influential factors in the success of breast reconstruction is whether or not radiation therapy has or will be performed. While traditional teaching is that all breasts treated with radiation therapy must be reconstructed with an autologous component, many reconstructive surgeons perform implant-based breast reconstruction without an autologous component and have success doing so. The purpose of this article is to explor

This article discusses the history of breast implants since their invention in 1962. Particular emphasis is given to the ev
Prepectoral Breast Reconstruction
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2019; 33: 236-239DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1696966Prepectoral breast reconstruction was first done in the early 1960s; however, while initial results were promising, high complication rates led surgeons to move toward submuscular implant placement. We soon came to find that submuscular implant placement was not without its own set of drawbacks. Surgeons have since revisited the efficacy of prepectoral breast reconstruction in light of new surgical and technological advances. Following
Latest Trends in Subpectoral Breast Reconstruction
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2019; 33: 224-228DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1696964There has been a shift in recent years toward a growing popularity of implant-based breast reconstruction, especially in the setting of increased frequency of concurrent contralateral prophylactic mastectomy.

Evidence for the Use of Acellular Dermal Matrix in Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction
Seminars in Plastic Surgery 2019; 33: 229-235DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1696986Acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) are tissue grafts that have been specially processed to remove all cellular components. These machined biological scaffolds have become popular in a variety of surgical settings due to their rapid incorporation into living tissue. As ADMs are highly malleable and cause minimal inflammation, they have come to serve as a useful tool in implant-based breast reconstruction procedures. The major benefits of u

IBR can be approached as either a one-stage reconstruction or a two-stage reconstruction. Facilitated by improvements in surgical technology and advanced techniques, one-stage reconstruction, also known as direct-to-implant (DTI) reconstruction, involves the insertion of an implant at the time of mastectomy.

The epithelial cadherin –160C/A polymorphism is associated with decreased risk of colorectal cancer: a case–control study
Abstract The epithelial cadherin (CDH1) is an important determinant of tumor progression. Previous studies have indicated that the CDH1 –160C/A polymorphism was associated with the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, they yielded conflicting results. Thus, we conducted this case–control study to evaluate the association between the CDH1 –160C/A polymorphism and susceptibility to CRC in a Chinese population. We recruited 351 cases and 411 controls in this case–control study. The geno

Publication date: Available online 13 October 2019Source: Data in BriefAuthor(s): S.O. Oyedepo, J.A. Omoleye, O. Kilanko, C.S. Ejike, B.F. Bolarinwa – Odunayo, U. Idemili, G. OdewoleAbstractMuch of the post-harvest loss of agricultural produce in developing countries is due to lack of proper storage facilities. Agricultural produce such as peppers, tomatoes and fruits are highly perishable in nature; thus, maintaining the optimal air conditions inside the storage cabinet helps extending their shelf lives. T
Data for “Social-evaluative threat: Stress response stages and influences of biological sex and neuroticism”
Publication date: Available online 13 October 2019Source: Data in BriefAuthor(s): Eefje S. Poppelaars, Johannes Klackl, Belinda Pletzer, Frank H. Wilhelm, Eva JonasAbstractThis Data In Brief article contains supplementary materials to the article “Social-evaluative threat: stress response stages and influences of biological sex and neuroticism” [1], and describes analysis results of an open dataset [2]. Additional information is provided regarding the methods, particularly: the analysis of individual stress
Green alder improves chemical properties of forest floor and topsoil in formerly air-polluted mountains
Abstract Although air pollution at the Central European “Black Triangle” sites has decreased since the 1990s, its legacy has persisted. Unlike the dominating Norway spruce that was planted again in order to restore forest cover, deciduous broadleaves were expected to improve soil. The objective of the study was to compare effect of N-fixing green alder on forest floor and soil properties compared to Norway spruce of comparable age. Forest floor layers [diagnostic horizons: litter (OL), fe
Wood density, deposits and mineral inclusions of successional tropical dry forest species
Abstract Wood water content, wood dry mass fraction, wood deposits and mineral inclusions separately affect wood mechanical properties, as well as plant survival and growth rates. Tree species occurring in recovering vegetation from deforestation face water stress, which is a particularly strong environmental filter in tropical dry forest regions. In this study, we analyze wood density and its associated variables of tree species present in early and late successional communities. We asse
Cilostazol Promotes Angiogenesis and Increases Cell Proliferation After Myocardial Ischemia–Reperfusion Injury Through a cAMP-Dependent Mechanism
Abstract Purpose Previous study indicated the protective role of cilostazol in ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury. Here, we aimed to explore the function of cilostazol in myocardial I/R injury and the underlying mechanism. Methods The myocardial I/R injury rat model was constructed, and the expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), hepatocyte gr
Three-Dimensional Contractile Mechanics of Artery Accounting for Curl of Axial Strip Sectioned from Vessel Wall
Abstract Purpose It is well known that a sliced ring of arterial wall opens by a radial cut. An axial strip sectioned from arterial wall also curls into an arc. These phenomena imply that there exist residual strains in the circumferential and axial directions. How much do the axial residual strains affect the stress distributions of arterial wall? The aim of the present study is to know stress distributions of arterial wall with the resi
