Article Abstract

Background: Subfascial placement of breast implants has the advantages of subglandular and submuscular placement without the adverse outcomes. This study examined the differences in outcomes between textured and smooth implants.

Methods: A total of 385 patients underwent subfascial breast augmentation in 2 cohorts. The initial series ( n = 209) used textured implants and the second ( n = 176) used smooth implants. In all other respects, patient management was identical. Adverse outcomes, changes in breast morphometry, and patient satisfaction were compared between the 2 groups.

Results: The follow-up period ranged from to 74 to 272 weeks for smooth implants (mean ± SD, 164 ± 50.6 weeks) and from 78 to 279 weeks for textured implants (mean ± SD, 186 ± 54 weeks). The incidence of capsular contracture was the same for smooth and textured implants (4.7% and 6.2%; P = 0.64). Changes in breast shape at the lower pole, patient satisfaction, and the incidence of other adverse outcomes were the same in both groups.

Conclusion: Subfascial placement of smooth and textured breast implants yielded similar outcomes.

Clinical Question/level Of Evidence: Therapeutic, III.

Background: Lower extremity arterial disease is a prevalent vascular condition leading to ischemic symptoms and increased risk of cardiovascular events. Drug-eluting stents have improved outcomes by reducing restenosis, with sirolimus emerging as a promising alternative to paclitaxel due to its safer profile. This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of novel polymer-free Amphilimus formulation (Sirolimus + fatty acid) eluting self-expanding stent in the treatment of femoropopliteal disease in a real-world population.

Importance: Patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRDs) frequently experience psychological distress; however, access to psychological support remains limited.

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of a digital psychological intervention for individuals with IRDs.

Design, Setting, And Participants: Participants aged 18 years or older were recruited across Germany between February 22 and June 4, 2024, if they had been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or systemic lupus erythematosus and reported psychological distress and reduced quality of life.

Importance: As obesity rates rise in the US, managing associated metabolic comorbidities presents a growing burden to the health care system. While bariatric surgery has shown promise in mitigating established metabolic conditions, no large studies have quantified the risk of developing major obesity-related comorbidities after bariatric surgery.

Objective: To identify common metabolic phenotypes for patients eligible for bariatric surgery and to estimate crude and adjusted incidence rates of additional metabolic comorbidities associated with bariatric surgery compared with weight management program (WMP) alone.

Importance: Exposure to inflammation from chorioamnionitis places the fetus at higher risk of premature birth and may increase the risk of neurodevelopmental impairments, though the evidence for the latter is mixed.

Objective: To evaluate whether moderate to severe histologic chorioamnionitis (HCA) is directly associated with adverse motor performance, independent of the indirect mediating effects of premature birth.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This prospective, population-based cohort study recruited participants between September 16, 2016, and November 19, 2019, from referral and nonreferral neonatal intensive care units of 5 southwestern Ohio hospitals.
