Patients undergoing plastic surgery of the breasts often communicate their size expectations as a brassiere cup size. However, multiple factors may cause a miscommunication between the surgeon and patient when brassiere cup size is used as a measure of results. The aim of this study was to determine the degree of agreement between disclosed and estimated brassiere cup size and also interrater agreement. Methods: Three-dimensional (3D) scans of 32 subjects were evaluated by 10 plastic surgeons estimating cup size using the American brassiere system. The surgeons were blinded to all parameters, including the 3D surface software-derived volume measures of the Vectra scan. The 3D scans of the anterior torsos were viewed. The plastic surgeons' estimations were compared with the cup sizes stated by the subjects (disclosed cup size), using simple and weighted Kappa statistics. Results: Agreement between the estimated and disclosed brassiere sizes was only slight (0.1479 ± 0.0605) using a simple Kappa analysis. Even when a Fleiss-Cohen-weighted comparison was used, only moderate agreement (0.6231 ± 0.0589) was found. The interrater agreement intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.705. Rater accuracy varied. The percentage of time spent in cosmetic practice and gender were not significantly correlated with accuracy. Conclusions: Agreement between cup size disclosed by subjects and estimates by plastic surgeons was low. A miscommunication between the surgeon and patient may occur when using brassiere sizes to communicate wishes and estimates in procedures that involve changes in breast volume.

Dry eye disease (DED) is a highly prevalent and debilitating condition. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan that has a long history as a safe and effective DED treatment. HA is frequently used as a comparator when assessing other topical DED treatments. This study aims to summarise and critically evaluate the literature describing all isolated active ingredients that have been directly compared with HA in the treatment of DED. A literature search was conducted in Embase using Ovid on the 24th of August 2021 and in PubMed including MEDLINE on the 20th of September 2021. Twenty-three studies met the inclusion criteria, 21 of which were randomised controlled trials. Seventeen different ingredients representing six treatment categories were compared with HA treatment. Most measures showed no significant difference between treatments, suggesting either equivalency of treatments or that studies were underpowered. Only two ingredients were represented in more than two studies; carboxymethyl cellulose treatment appears equivalent to HA treatment, while Diquafosol treatment appears superior to HA treatment. Drop-frequency varied from one to eight drops daily. No single study explained the choice of drop frequency. Nine studies used a HA concentration of 0.1% which may be below therapeutic levels. Nine studies reported using preserved formulations, six of them with differences in preservatives between the compared groups. Thirteen studies were financially linked to industry. No major complications were reported. Studies were not designed to find differences in treatment effects for different types or severities of DED. HA is a good comparator treatment when assessing other DED treatments, although consensus after decades of use is still lacking for best choice of concentration, molecular weight and drop tonicity. Well-designed studies are needed to determine an evidence-based standard for HA treatment to be used as comparator.

Hudtransplantasjon innebærer at et område med manglende hud dekkes med friskt hudvev høstet fra et annet sted på kroppen. Hensikten med denne kliniske oversikten er å gi en kort innføring i dette inngrepet. Brannskader, skåldingsskader, traumer og kreftkirurgi kan resultere i større defekter i huden som må dekkes og rekonstrueres. Rekonstruksjonsstigen er et mye omtalt prinsipp innen rekonstruktiv kirurgi som sorterer, etter stigende kompleksitet, de ulike behandlingsstrategiene for huddefekter (figur 1) (1). Tanken bak dette prinsippet er å velge det mest effektive behandlingsalternativet, det vil si best mulig resultat med enklest mulig tiltak. Eksempler på strategier er sekundær tilheling, vakuumassistert behandling, primær sårlukking, hudtransplantasjon, vevsekspansjon og lappeplastikk. Primær sårlukking (2), vevsekspansjon (3) og lappeplastikk (4, 5) er tidligere omtalt i Tidsskriftet. Denne kliniske oversikten omhandler kun hudtransplantasjon. Artikkelen bygger på lærebøker i plastikkirurgi, utvalgte fagartikler samt klinisk erfaring.

Dry eye disease (DED) is a highly prevalent and debilitating condition affecting several hundred million people worldwide. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan commonly used in the treatment of DED. This review aims to critically evaluate the literature on the safety and efficacy of artificial tears containing HA used in DED treatment. Literature searches were conducted in PubMed, including MEDLINE, and in Embase via Ovid with the search term: “(hyaluronic acid OR hyaluronan OR hyaluronate) AND (dry eye OR sicca)”. A total of 53 clinical trials are included in this review, including eight placebo-controlled trials. Hyaluronic acid concentrations ranged from 0.1% to 0.4%. Studies lasted up to 3 months. A broad spectrum of DED types and severities was represented in the reviewed literature. No major complications or adverse events were reported. Artificial tears containing 0.1% to 0.4% HA were effective at improving both signs and symptoms of DED. Two major gaps in the literature have been identified: 1. no study investigated the ideal drop frequency for HA-containing eyedrops, and 2. insufficient evidence was presented to recommend any specific HA formulation over another. Future investigations assessing the optimal drop frequency for different concentrations and molecular weights of HA, different drop formulations, including tonicity, and accounting for DED severity and aetiology are essential for an evidence-based, individualized approach to DED treatment.

Background: There is little consensus about the relative determinative value of each individual factor in female breast aesthetics. When performing breast surgery with an aesthetic goal, certain factors will be more important than others. The purpose of this study was to make an aesthetic factor rank list to determine the relative contributions to overall breast aesthetics. Method: Volunteers were scanned using the 3-dimensional Vectra system. Ten Scandinavian plastic surgeons rated 37 subjects, using a validated scoring system with 49 scoring items. The correlation between specific aesthetic factors and overall breast aesthetic scores of the subjects were calculated using Pearson's r, Spearman's ρ, and Kendall's τ. Results: A very strong correlation was found between overall breast aesthetic score and lower pole shape (0.876, P

Transplantation of cultured epidermal cell sheets (CES) can be life-saving for patients with large area burns. CES have also been successfully used to regenerate eye and urethral epithelia in animal models. Short-term storage aims to extend the transplantation window, offers flexibility in timing surgery and allows testing of CES quality, phenotype and sterility. This study investigated extended CES storage and explored the effect of additional re-incubation recovery time following storage. The proliferative quality of stored confluent versus pre-confluent CES was also investigated using functional testing. CES were stored at 12°C and results compared to non-stored control CES. Investigation of timepoints during 15 days storage revealed that viability began to deteriorate by day 11 and was associated with increased lactate in the storage medium. The percentage of apoptotic cells also significantly increased by day 11. Flow cytometry analysis of integrin β1 expression and cell size indicated best retention of stem cells at 7 days of storage. Functional testing of pre-confluent and confluent cells following 7 days storage showed that pre-confluent cells responded well to 1-day re-incubation after storage; they became highly prolific, increasing in number by ~67%. Conversely, proliferation in stored confluent cells declined by ~50% with 1-day re-incubation. Pre-confluent stored CES also had far superior stem cell colony forming efficiency (CFE) performance compared to the confluent group. Re-incubation improved CFE in both groups, but the pre-confluent group again out-performed the confluent group with significantly more colonies. In conclusion, a maximum storage period of 7 days is recommended. Use of pre-confluent cells and one day recovery incubation greatly improves viability, colony-forming ability and proliferation of cells stored for 7 days at 12°C. Thus, these recommendations should be considered under culture and storage of high-quality CES for clinical use.

Bakgrunn. Trykksår (decubitus) er en meget hyppig tilstand som forekommer hos 10 - 20 % av pasienter ved ulike helseinstitusjoner. Helsepersonell må ha god kjennskap til forebygging, vurdering og behandling av trykksår. Materiale og metode. Artikkelen er basert på et ikke-systematisk søk i Medline og Embase med bruk av aktuelle søkeord samt egne kliniske erfaringer. Resultater. Trykksår skyldes mekanisk trykk, strekk og/eller friksjon på hud og underliggende vev. Nevropati, dårlig ernæring, fuktig hud og infeksjon er risikofaktorer for utvikling av og opprettholdelse av sårdanningen. Forebyggende tiltak og behandling må rettes mot årsak og risikofaktorer. Trykksår graderes på en skala 0 - 4 avhengig av hvor dypt skaden strekker seg fra hud ned i det underliggende vevet. Overflatiske trykksår i hud og underhud behandles med konservativ sårbehandling, mens dypere trykksår som når ned til muskel og bein, må vurderes for operativ behandling. Fortolkning. Trykksår er en vanlig tilstand der trykkavlastning og reduksjon av risikofaktorer er viktig ved forebygging og behandling. Avhengig av sårets utbredelse i dypet kan man i tillegg velge konservativ sårbehandling eller kirurgi.
