The subject is a 58-year-old woman who was previously healthy but began experiencing unexplained memory decline and frequent disorientation in the past 7 years, leading to an AD diagnosis. Despite ongoing pharmaceutical therapy, her symptoms progressed to severe dementia accompanied by behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). Her Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores were both 0/30, and 18 F-AV-45 PET/CT revealed abnormal brain amyloid load. For salvage therapy, she underwent LVBs on her neck bilaterally. Postoperatively, she got better MMSE and MoCA scores with dramatic improvement in communication and activity. 18 F-AV-45 PET/CT scans 4 months after surgery indicated a reduction in abnormal brain amyloid deposits. This case report highlights the potential effectiveness of LVB surgery in reducing brain amyloid load and attenuating cognitive impairment and BPSD. Further research with animal experiments and clinical trials is necessary to confirm these findings.","PeriodicalId":47543,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Plastic Surgery-APS","volume":"52 4","pages":"247-252"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12286685/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144709437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current assessment methods, primarily relying on the subjective Baker grading system, lack objectivity and quantitative data, which hinders large-scale studies and the development of treatment guidelines. To solve these problems, we conducted a study using computed tomography (CT) scans to quantitatively evaluate morphological changes in breast implants associated with capsular contracture.Methods: We enrolled 94 patients who underwent breast reconstruction using implants and underwent periodic chest CT scans. We categorized them into two groups: Baker grade I or II ( n = 72) and Baker grade III or IV ( n = 22). We analyzed the CT scans to assess changes in the implant base and projection.Results: In the Baker grade III or IV groups, it was confirmed that the ratio of projection to base increased after capsular contracture compared with before contracture. On the other hand, there was no significant change in the ratio of projection to base in the Baker grade I or II groups.Conclusion: This study highlights the potential of CT scans as a reproducible method for evaluating capsular contracture. The ratio of projection to base could serve as a new quantitative index alongside the Baker grades for clinical assessment, treatment planning, and research on capsular contracture. When comparing the ratio of projection to base before and after capsular contracture, if the ratio of projection to base increases by more than 1.233 times, it can be considered Baker grade III or IV.","PeriodicalId":47543,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Plastic Surgery-APS","volume":"52 4","pages":"217-224"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12286679/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144709433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An international prospective study was undertaken to compare how a keystone perforator island advancement flap can be a reliable solution. Independently, two Transatlantic institutions, from 2019 to 2024, surgically resected axillary HS followed by a keystone perforator flap for defect management. A total of 23 patients were treated, including 4 with bilateral disease, employing 27 total flaps that permitted the comparison of demographic data, Hurley disease stage, flap viability and complications, need for secondary surgeries, duration of treatment, and functional outcome. Demographic data in both countries was similar with regard to mean age, female preponderance, presence of obesity, and prior means of treatment. Surgical treatment was not limited in either country only to Hurley stage III individuals. In Romania, 6/11 (54.5%) compared to 3/12 (25.0%) of U.S. patients were classified as Hurley stage II. No flap necrosis was observed, allowing unrestricted shoulder mobility within 3.5 (2-4) months in Romania, but more slowly by 4.4 (3-9) months in the United States. All complications were minor, occurring in 11 (43.5%) patients, albeit three times more frequently in the United States. Overall, the most common problem was lesser curvature dehiscence (63.6%). No disease recurrences were noted. The keystone perforator island advancement flap is a safe, rapid, and simple local flap option for the closure of the axillary defect after the excision of HS. The learning curve was straightforward, so reconstructive surgeons can readily adapt to utilize this approach.","PeriodicalId":47543,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Plastic Surgery-APS","volume":"52 4","pages":"211-216"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12286678/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144709435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mouth breathing is the process of breathing through the mouth alone or mostly through the mouth for more than 6 months. Mouth breathing can affect facial development. This study aims to look at the effect of mouth breathing on facial anthropometry.Methods: This study used a case-control design conducted during March to September 2024 at Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung, on subjects aged 7 to 23 years who were divided into two groups, namely mouth breathing and nasal breathing. Data were obtained from filling out the MBD-MBS (Mouth Breathing in Daytime and Mouth Breathing during Sleep) questionnaire, taking lateral cephalometric photographs, and cephalometric measurements using the WebCeph application. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS software using the chi-square and Mann-Whitney tests.Results: There were significant differences in angular parameters between the two groups, namely the Sella-Nasion to Gonion-Gnathion (SN.GoGn) angle ( p = 0.029), the Frankfort mandibular angle (FMA; p = 0.023), and the mandibular plane to palatal plane (MP.PP) angle ( p = 0.012); the Articulare-Gonion-Menton (ArGoMe) angle was greater in the oral breathing group ( p = 0.003). The linear parameter values in both groups were not different ( p > 0.05).Conclusion: Mouth breathing affects facial anthropometry, resulting in an increase in retrognathic mandibular and maxillary angles.","PeriodicalId":47543,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Plastic Surgery-APS","volume":"52 5","pages":"287-294"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12445953/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145114470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
