Abstract:
This paper introduces a project involving a thermoregulation performance experiment design to evaluate the different responses of research subjects to a range of mastectomy bras and external breast prostheses. A set of newly designed heat-reduction mastectomy bras and prostheses were mix-matched with a set of conventional mastectomy bras and prostheses for the experiment. Four combinations of mastectomy bras and external breast prostheses were used: (a) Com A: conventional mastectomy bra and conventional prosthesis; (b) Com B: conventional mastectomy bra and heat-reduction prosthesis; (c) Com C: heat-reduction mastectomy bra and conventional prosthesis; and (d) Com D: heat-reduction mastectomy bra and heat-reduction prosthesis. Nine healthy male subjects (mean age: 31.9 ± 5.9 y and mean under-bust circumference: 35.3 ± 2.8 in) participated in this study in lieu of women who had undergone surgery for double mastectomy and were too self-conscious to expose their scars for sensor attachment. Eight sets of temperature and humidity sensors were placed between the surface of the skin and the prostheses and bra to measure the changes in both temperature and humidity data in a microclimate environment while the participants performed physical activity. The results showed that Com D demonstrated better thermal and moisture control, resulting in lower body temperature and lower humidity increment throughout the entire experiment. The study proved that the heat-reduction mastectomy bra and external breast prosthesis were effective in releasing the trapped heat and perspiration underneath the bra, and thus would provide a positive impact on clothing comfort and wearing experience for women who had undergone mastectomies.

Abstract:
As the public discussion of all cancers, and of breast cancer in particular, expanded after World War II, capitalist ventures emerged to meet the demands of those affected by the disease. For women who had mastectomies this meant a greater choice of breast prostheses but also a clearer message that the scars from surgery should be hidden from public view. This work analyzes the breast prosthesis industry as a beauty business. Considering the use of breast prostheses as a contested part of cancer recovery, the article traces the evolution and expansion of the breast prosthesis industry from 1945 to 2000 and examines how the industry has responded to consumer demand, created a niche for itself within the “healing process,“ and capitalized on notions of feminine beauty.

Abstract:
Introduction. Recent papers indicate that one-side mastectomy can produce deleterious effects on the posture and musculoskeletal system. This study was conducted to better understand the underlying mechanisms involved in trunk motion in external prosthesis users.Objective. The aim was to evaluate the changes in surface electromyographic (SEMG) activity of the erector spinae muscles (ES) in postmastectomy women with and without breast prostheses during functional body movement tests.Methods. In 51 one-side postmastectomy women the SEMG muscle activity of bilateral ES was measured during symmetrical and asymmetrical dynamic activities in a counterbalanced manner with different weights of the breast prosthesis. Range-of-motion measurements were taken for forward bending, backward bending, lateral bending, and rotation.Results. The mean level of the ES activity in the lumbar region was not affected by the weight of the external breast prosthesis during most of the functional body tests (P>0.05). The activity of ES during functional body tests with and without different external breast prostheses did not differ between the two sides of the trunk (mastectomy and nonmastectomy) for most of the movement tests (P>0.05).Conclusion. The lumbar ES activity during functional tests is not associated with the weight of the external breast prosthesis in postmastectomy women.

Abstract:
Abstract Synovial metaplasia is a change seen most frequently in the tissues surrounding silicone breast prostheses and in healing tissue adjacent to joint prostheses. It has also been described in skin and soft tissues, most frequently in healing or healed traumatic or surgical wounds. We report a case of synovial metaplasia occurring in a hitherto unreported location, namely, adjacent to a silicone low-pressure voice prosthesis. A review of cases of synovial metaplasia reported in the literature revealed that in most cases, spaces that form adjacent to foreign material (most commonly silicone breast prostheses) and the smooth gliding surfaces of the foreign material that resist penetration by fibroblast processes are frequent associated findings that precede the occurrence of synovial metaplasia. Thus, synovial metaplasia might represent a specialized form of healing in cases that have this combination of physical features.

Abstract:
Hypotrophic breasts associated with ptosis is a frequent condition. The simple insertion of a prosthesis generally does not give very satisfactory results. The breast swings on the prosthesis, aggravating the ptosis in the long term. Furthermore, hypotrophy is often associated with malposition of the areola: either excessively short areolo-infra-mammary distance, less than 5 cm, or areola projected too medially or too laterally. The absence of correction of this malformation is a factor responsible for a poor aesthetic result.

Abstract:
Women diagnosed with breast cancer and who have the disease surgically treated by mastectomy experience a health crisis. This thesis focused on the behaviours, feelings and attitudes of women during their breast cancer and mastectomy experiences. The overall purpose was to identify therapeutic factors that can be used by health professionals to improve the psychological and physiological well-being of women with this disease. The conceptual scaffolding for the thesis was drawn from the fields of perceptual psychology and decision-making. The thesis was supported by a study that examined specific areas concerning the breast cancer and mastectomy experience. These areas were self-perceptions, the psychological milieu resulting from a breast cancer diagnosis, and post-mastectomy breast restoration decision-making. The population included: a prosthesis group of 64 women who had mastectomies and wore external breast prostheses, a reconstruction group of 31 women who had mastectomies and underwent breast reconstructions, a control A group of 75 women who had not experienced mastectomy, and a control B group of 65 women who also had not experienced mastectomy. Self-perceptions: The perceptions of the prosthesis, reconstruction and control A groups regarding their body-image, self-concept, total self-image, and self-esteem were compared by using Polivy's (1977) Body-Image Scale and Rosenberg's (1965) Self-Esteem Scale. The body-image, total self-image, and self-esteem mean scores indicated that the prosthesis and reconstruction groups had more positive feelings regarding their bodies than did the control group. There were no significant differences in self-concept among the three groups. These findings challenge a common assumption that mastectomy automatically results in psychiatric morbidity caused by an altered body-image and suggest that health professionals should not make assumptions about how a woman will psychologically respond to mastectomy. Quality of life perceptions were compared among the prosthesis, reconstruction and control B groups using the Ferrans and Powers (1985) Quality of Life Index. The mean scores of the prosthesis and reconstruction groups were higher than the control group's scores, with higher scores indicating more positive quality of life perceptions. The findings suggest that the women in the mastectomy samples had found ways to cope with their health crises. Over time, they learned not to define all existence in terms of a cancer diagnosis and had gained or maintained a positive perspective on life. Post-mastectomy attitudes in the prosthesis and the reconstruction groups were compared. Using the Mastectomy Attitude Scale the results indicated that both groups were satisfied with their bodies, had a positive outlook towards their lives, implied that sexuality entailed more than having breasts, and felt that mastectomy treatment was necessary to save their lives. Neither group concealed that they had a mastectomy, nor were the women prone to discuss their mastectomy experiences. The findings from the study indicate that the women post-mastectomy already had or developed positive attitudes towards themselves and life in general and the method chosen for breast restoration had no apparent impact on these attitudes. The self-perception data indicated that women do adjust and cope with breast cancer surgically treated by mastectomy. These women should be encouraged by health professionals to develop a helping relationship with other women who are newly diagnosed with the disease. This alliance could engender hope in those women who are beginning their journey along a similar road to survival. More hope for these women and less fatalism would decrease their sense of crisis and facilitate their abilities to take an active part in the decision-making processes relating to their treatment. Psychological Milieu: The women in the prosthesis and the reconstruction groups were interviewed about their breast cancer and mastectomy experiences. The findings supported the premise that receiving a diagnosis of breast cancer plunged the women into a health crisis and caused an instant disruption to their lives. The women found that they had to suddenly deal with several complex issues all at the same time, such as what must be done in the immediate future to treat the cancer, as well as the more frightening issues of the meaning of the illness on their ultimate life expectancy. All of this turmoil played havoc with their ability to make informed decisions regarding their breast cancer treatment alternatives. This finding suggests the need for more individualised interventions and support for women when they are making decisions during this stressful period. Health professionals need to keep in mind that simply hearing the word "cancer" often prevents a person from assimilating the complete diagnosis, indicated treatments, and possible prognosis. Therefore, care-givers must be prepared to repeat and elaborate upon information previously given to the affected individual and the family. Breast Restoration Decision-Making: To evaluate the prosthesis and the reconstruction groups' abilities to undertake competent breast restoration decision-making, a 5 Stage process was devised, modelled after Janis and Mann's (1977) seven criteria for competent decision-making. Analysis of the data revealed that both groups displayed passive information seeking behaviour in relation to breast restoration alternatives. They had either no knowledge or limited knowledge regarding the alternatives. Their lack of knowledge was due either to (1) anxiety about their disease, or (2) deficiencies in the interpersonal skills of individuals presenting information to them, or (3) the perceptions that they had insufficient time to gather information, or (4) a combination of these factors. Because the prosthesis and the reconstruction groups were under stress they used coping styles to accomplish decision-making. To measure their coping styles five categories were defined, based on Janis and Mann's (1977) conflict model of emergency decisionmaking and Simon's (1957) notion of "bounded rationality". Two styles emerged. The prosthesis group used the "Sideliner" style that allowed the women to make a quick, conflict-free decision. They were not aware of alternative choices resulting in their decision-making experience being uncomplicated and effortless. The reconstruction group used the "Contented" style that also allowed them an uncomplicated and effortless decision-making experience. The women decided that breast reconstruction was their only viable option. Many of them did not even think that they had made a decision about an alternative because of the strong salience towards breast reconstruction. A breast restoration decision-making model has been developed and proposed for women to use when considering their alternatives. This model offers to health professionals and women a realistic and useable decision-making process that can be implemented when individuals are experiencing a health crisis. The model can be modified and used for numerous situations that require decisions regarding treatment alternatives. This inquiry has demonstrated that there is a need for a specific health professional to assist women newly diagnosed with breast cancer. This individual would assume several roles that include one of advocacy for the women, and the important role of ensuring that these individuals have the information and knowledge to make competent decisions regarding their breast cancer treatments.

Abstract:
Os implantes mamários de silicone têm sido empregados, tanto nas cirurgias de aumento das mamas, quanto na reconstrução do tecido mamário após mastectomia. A segurança biológica dos implantes de silicone merece estudo relacionado aos processos de esterilização empregados, pois podem constituir-se em fator de comprometimento da estrutura química do polímero e, conseqüentemente, da biocompatibilidade. Este estudo consistiu na avaliação da biocompatibilidade de implantes mamários de silicone após terem sido submetidos aos processos de esterilização por calor seco, radiação gama e óxido de etileno. O parâmetro avaliado foi a viabilidade celular, empregando o método de difusão em agar e de captura do vermelho neutro. As amostras compreenderam implantes de silicone gel lisos, texturizados e revestidos com poliuretano e implantes texturizados pré-cheios com solução salina. Também foi realizado o teste de endotoxinas bacterianas pelo método do LAL e determinação da taxa de migração do gel de silicone (teste de bleed). Os três métodos de esterilização mostraram-se igualmente eficientes pela comprovação da condição de esterilidade dos implantes através de metodologia descrita na Farmacopéia Americana 27 edição. Os níveis de endotoxinas bacterianas dos implantes, também atenderam aos requisitos dos compêndios oficiais. Na avaliação da biocompatibilidade todos os implantes, independente dos processos de esterilização utilizados, apresentaram ausência de citotoxicidade. Os resultados do teste de bleed mostraram uma maior taxa de migração de gel para os implantes de superfície lisa em comparação com os implantes de superfície texturizada e revestida com poliuretano, quando esterilizados por calor seco. Ao comparar a taxa de migração do gel para os implantes de superfície lisa esterilizados por calor seco e óxido de etileno, obteve-se uma maior taxa de migração para aqueles implantes esterilizados por óxido de etileno. As diferentes avaliações realizadas neste estudo abrangeram aspectos biológicos, químicos e físicos relevantes para garantir um produto de boa qualidade e que, por assegurar a manutenção da característica de biocompatibilidade, resulta na segurança biológica deste tipo de implante.
Silicone breast implants have been widely used for mammary augmentation and reconstruction surgery. Biological safety of these implants can be damaged by sterilization methods. This study consisted of the biocompatibility assessment of breast implants through cell viability, employing the agar diffusion test and neutral red uptake. Four silicone breast implants were tested: smooth, textured, polyurethane covered silicone gel breast implant and textured saline-filled breast implant. Sterilization methods comprised dry-heat, ethylene oxide and γ-radiation. Detection of bacterial endotoxins employing LAL test and gel bleed was also performed. The three methods of sterilization revealed equally efficacious, through the sterility confirmation of implants employing methodology described in 27th edition of United States Pharmacopeia. At the same way the leveis of bacterial endotoxins of implants accorded with the pharmacopeial requirements. In theevaluation of biocompatibility ali the implants, independently of the sterilization process used, showed no cytotoxicity signals. The results of gel bleed revealed a higher migration rate from the smooth implants in comparison with the textured and polyurethane-covered implants sterilized by dry-heat. When was compared the gel migration of smooth implants sterilized by dry-heat and ethylene oxide, was obtained a higher rate of gel bleed of those implants sterilized by ethylene oxide. The different evaluations performed in this study comprised biological, chemical and physical aspects, that are relevant to assure a good quality product and by having maintained the characteristics of biocompatibility, resulted in the biological safety on this kind of implant.

Introduction The primary role of breast cancer treatment with radiation is to deliver a sufficient radiation dose to the cancer cells without unduly causing biological damage to the healthy tissues. For over 50 years, electron beam therapy has been an important modality for providing an accurate dose of radiation to superficial cancers and disease and for limiting the dose to underlying normal tissues and structures in particular to boost the dose to the tumour bed and surgical scars after mastectomy. The Monte Carlo code MCNP5 was used to determine the effect of silicone gel breast prosthesis on the electron beam dose distribution. Materials and Method Percentage depth dose curves (PDD) for 6, 9, 12, and 15 MeV electron energies along the electron central axis depth dose distributions in a water phantom and with silicone prosthesis immersed in a water phantom were simulated using MCNP5. In order to establish the accuracy of the MCNP5 code, the depth dose curves obtained using MCNP5 were compared against the measured depth dose curves obtained from the Varian 2100C linear accelerator. The simulated depth dose curves with silicone prosthesis immersed in water were compared to the measured depth dose curves with the vi silicone prosthesis in water. The dose at the interface of the prosthesis with water was measured using thermoluminiscent dosimeters. Results The simulated and measured depth dose curve and the investigated dosimetric parameters are within 2%. Simulations in the presence of silicone showed a decrease in dose as the at the interface as the beam passes from the prosthesis to water for most energies however, for 15 MeV beam there is an increase in dose at the interface between the prosthesis and water and this was verified by physical measurements. Conclusion There were good correlations between the measured and MCNP simulated depth dose curve. Differences were in order of 2%. Small deviations occurred due to the fact that the simulations assumed a monoenergetic beam that exits the accelerator head, while in the measured results the beam exiting from the accelerator head includes scatted radiation from the collimators and the applicator. The presence of the prosthesis does not perturb the electron beam central axis depth dose curve however, the 15 MeV beam enhanced the dose in front of the interface between the prosthesis and water. Despite the limitations mentioned above MCNP5 results agree reasonably with the measured results. Hence, MCNP5 can be very useful in simulating electron percentage depth dose data.

Part 1: Risk of infection is associated more with drain duration than daily drainage volume in prosthesis-based breast reconstruction: a cohort study Background: In prosthesis-based breast reconstruction, drains are used to prevent seroma formation and to reduce the risk of infection. However, prolonged drainage increases the risk of ascending infection. Although the volume often accepted for drain removal is <30 ml per day, the optimal timing to remove the drain for best clinical outcome remains controversial. Methods: We did a retrospective cohort study of 569 patients of prosthesis-based breast reconstruction with infection rate as the outcome variable; drain duration and last daily drainage volume as the main independent variables. Data on age, smoking history, diabetes mellitus history, body mass index, breast weight, tissue expander size, drain size, number of retrieved lymph nodes, tumor size, number of metastatic lymph nodes, tumor stage, mastectomy type, reconstruction type, submuscular implantation, skin defect, operative time, duration of antibiotics use, chemotherapy ,and radiotherapy were collected as covariates. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to control for confounding. Results: The total infection rate was 5.1% (29/569). The daily drainage volume ≥30ml/day at the time of drain removal was not found associated with increased infection rate (p=.32). Of the various cutoff values of last daily drainage volume, none was found to be a determinant for drain removal where the risk of infection was concerned. By contrast, drain duration over 21 days significantly increased infection rate (p=.001). The multivariable logistic regression analysis showed an increase of 76.2% in the infection rate with each additional week of drain retention (p=.001). Breast weight also had a significant influence on risk of infection. Chemotherapy and drain size showed borderline effect on risk of infection whereas the last daily drainage volume was not associated with risk of infection Conclusions: In summary, our study revealed that drain duration, rather than the last daily drainage volume, significantly affects the infection rate in prosthesis-based breast reconstruction. We recommend that the drain is better removed no longer than 3 weeks postoperatively and can be removed as early as postoperative day 7, even when the drainage is over 30 ml in a 24 hour period. Part II: Does prosthesis-based breast reconstruction affect postmastectomy radiotherapy? A clinical outcome-based study. Abstract: Background: In the last five decades, there has been significant advancement of breast reconstruction and postmastectomy radiotherapy for breast cancer care. There has been concern that breast reconstruction may affect the efficacy of postmastectomy radiotherapy. This however, has not been proven by clear clinical evidence. Methods: By comparing the locoregional recurrence rates between those with and without prosthesis-based breast reconstruction after postmastectomy radiotherapy, a retrospective cohort study of the breast cancer patients was done. Multivariate survival analysis was used to control the confounding factors. Results: Between 1998 and 2011, 1015 patients receiving postmastectomy radiotherapy were identified. Among them, 111 patients (study group) had prosthesis-based breast reconstruction and the other 904 did not have breast reconstruction (control group). Thirty four out of 904 (3.8%) patients in the control group and four out of 111 (3.6%) patients in the study group developed locoregional recurrence. Multivariate survival analysis found no significant difference both in locoregional recurrence free survival (Hazard ratio = 0.852, P-value = 0.771) and in overall survival (Hazard ratio = 1.317, P-value = 0.246) between control group and study group. Conclusions: There is no statistically significant difference in the locoregional recurrence free survival or overall survival between breast cancer patients receiving postmastectomy radiotherapy with and without prosthesis-based breast reconstruction. Although postmastectomy radiotherapy adversely impacts the surgical and cosmetic outcome of breast reconstruction, the oncologic outcome of postmastectomy radiotherapy is not significantly influenced by prosthesis-based breast reconstruction.

Abstract:
Hemolysis is the break up of red blood cells, and is a condition that is of concern during the design process of blood contacting prostheses. In turbulent flows, hemolysis has been most often correlated to Reynolds shear stress. Mini-scale turbulent jets have been used for hemolysis experiments because they allow for explicit control of shear. Quantitative predictions of hemolysis from shear stress are unreliable, with experimentally determined threshold Reynolds stresses for turbulent shear flow range from 400Pa to 5000Pa, with recent experiments at 800Pa. Reynolds stresses are a statistic of large scale turbulence, and act at spatial scales much larger than that of a red blood cell. It has been suggested in literature that hemolysis may be related to stresses induced by turbulent energy dissipation, which acts as a spatial scale closer to that of a red blood cell. The dissipation of turbulence kinetic energy occurs at the Kolmogorov scales, which is generally similar in scale to that of a red blood cell.
