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:
Abstract Breast prostheses are implanted for augmentation or during reconstructive surgery. One of the more commonly used prostheses is the polyurethane-sponge-covered silicone gel implant. Some clinicians are concerned about the safety of this product because the polyurethane foam disintegrates in vivo, and its subsequent fate is not known. Polyurethane is a polymer formed by reacting diisocyanates and polyols. This study indicates that the polymer sponge breaks down into its reactive monomers, 2,4- and 2,6-toluenediisocyanate, which are converted into their corresponding diamines. We present evidence of the excretion of the diamine metabolites in the urine of a patient implanted with polyurethane-covered prostheses.

Abstract:
Resection of sternal tumors can leave large defects, which exposes major mediastinal structures, and can affect respiratory mechanics. If feasible, resection is potentially a complex reconstructive challenge to restore normal and functional anatomy using conventional techniques. We report the first Australian use of a three-dimensional–printed titanium and PoreStar prosthesis in a 39-year-old woman for reconstruction after major surgical resection of the sternum for metastatic breast cancer. The patient successfully underwent excision of the sternum and costal cartilages as well as implantation of the prosthesis. We conclude that three-dimensional–printed prostheses are technically feasible to deliver excellent cosmetic result.

Abstract:
Background Most women who undergo mastectomy for breast cancer use external breast prostheses. Yet, little is known about patterns of use, satisfaction levels, and quality of life associated with their use as compared to other options. Patients and Methods We report longitudinal, self-report questionnaire data regarding prosthetic use from 592 Italian mastectomy patients. Women who report satisfaction with their prostheses are compared on medical, demographic, and quality of life variables to a matched sample of women who report dissatisfaction. We also compare matched samples of women who do not use prostheses and women who had reconstruction to prosthetic users. Results Most women used and were satisfied with their prostheses. However, there was a small group of women who were dissatisfied. These women reported greater disruption to their sense of feminility and worse quality of life in some areas. We found few differences between prosthetic users and women who used either of the other two options available following mastectomy - taking no action to restore the appearance of the amputated breast or having reconstructive surgery. Conclusions No one technique for restoring the appearance of the mastectomized breast is necessary to optimize quality of life for all women. Physicians should describe the options to women, along with the average satisfaction rates for women choosing those options, and help women to make the best personal decisions.

ABSTRACTWe report a case involving a 45-year-old woman, who presented with an axillary mass 10 years after bilateral cosmetic augmentation mammaplasty. A lump was detected in the left axilla, and subsequent mammography and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated intracapsular rupture of the left breast prosthesis. An excisional biopsy of the left axillary lesion and replacement of the ruptured implant was performed. Histological analysis showed that the axillary lump was lymph nodes containing large amounts of silicone. Silicone lymphadenopathy is an obscure complication of procedures involving the use of silicone. It is thought to occur following the transit of silicone droplets from breast implants to lymph nodes by macrophages and should always be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients in whom silicone prostheses are present.

Abstract:
Introduction Metal detectors have been present in airports and points of departure for some time. With the introduction of heightened security measures in response to fears of an increased threat of terrorism, they may become more prevalent in other public locations. The aim of this study was to ascertain which prosthetic devices activated metal detector devices used for security purposes. Methods A range of prosthetic devices used commonly in orthopaedic and plastic surgery procedures were passed through an arch metal detector at Birmingham Airport in the UK. Additionally, each item was passed under a wand detector. Items tested included expandable breast prostheses, plates used in wrist and hand surgery, screws, K-wires, Autosuture™ ligation clips and staples. Results No prostheses were detected by the arch detector. The expandable implants and wrist plates were the only devices detected by passing the wand directly over them. No device was detected by the wand when it was under cover of the axillary soft tissue. Screws, K-wires, Autosuture™ clips and staples were not detected under any of the study conditions. Conclusions Although unlikely to trigger a detector, it is possible that an expandable breast prosthesis or larger plate may do so. It is therefore best to warn patients of this so they can anticipate detection and further examination.

Abstract Abstract 5103 An increased risk of alk-negative T-cell derived anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (T-ALCL) in patients with breast prostheses has been suggested, although unequivocal evidence of an association has not yet been provided. Several reports have also suggested that silicone, one of the major components of breast prostheses, activates the immune system, and induction of myeloma has been shown in a murine model. While association to breast prostheses has been described in as many as 48 patients with T-cell derived ALCL1, only one case of breast implant-associated B-cell derived lymphoma, displaying a follicular histology2, has been reported so far. We here present a case of DLBCL diagnosed in 2006 in a 66 year-old woman, who had undergone cosmetic implantation of bilateral breast prostheses 20 years previously. The disease initially involved right cervical and mediastinal nodes. She was treated with chemo-immunotherapy (rituximab + CHOP q 3 weeks for a total of 8 series) achieving a complete remission (CR) by summer 2006. Almost 1 year later, a nodal DLBCL relapse occurred at cervical level. The patient was again treated with chemoimmunotherapy (rituximab+ dexamethasone, high-dose cytosine arabinoside and cis-platin q 3 weeks for a total of 3 series). A new CR was obtained and consolidated with an autologous transplant with BEAM conditioning in March 2008. More than a year later, a new cervical node relapse occurred along with a small focus in the lung (not bioptically verified). From then on, the patient received multiple therapies, every time with initial chemosensitivity, but quickly followed by new progression as soon as therapy was discontinued. According to PET assessment, there has never been any tumour manifestation below the diaphragm, and no lymphoma infiltration was detected at any time in the bone marrow. As of June 2010, the patient developed multiple cutaneous and subcutaneous tumours corresponding to the anterior thoracic wall in close proximity to the upper quadrants of both breasts. These tumors were preceeded by an erythematous lesion clearly demarcating the cutaneous area of the anterior thoracic wall and breasts corresponding to the underlying implants. Cutaneous biopsies taken at this erythematous stage already revealed diffuse DLBCL infiltration of the skin and subcutis. Cutaneous and subcutaneous biopsies showed alk-negative, CD30-negative CD20-positive DLBCL. All previous lymph node biopsies are CD20 positive, bcl-2 and bcl-6 positive and negative for CD10. A fraction of tumour cells expressed MUM-1. By and large, no major changes in the immunohistochemical profile of the tumor have been observed since the original diagnosis in 2006. The striking anatomical localization of the latest relapse, but also the fact that the patient's disease over the years persistently manifested itself in lymph node drainage regions adjacent to or in the near proximity of the patient's breast implants, may be suggestive of a chronic antigenic stimulation eventually resulting in a malignant B-cell lymphoproliferation of DLBCL type. DLBCL histology has not previously been reported in possible association with breast implants. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

The quality of breast prostheses dependant on homogeneous mixing of materials during the manufacturing process. This research endeavoured to investigate the mixing of two silicones that are widely used in the production of breast prostheses. The effect of impeller design on obtaining a homogeneous mixture was investigated. Four different types of impellers were used to investigate the effect of stirrer type, diameter, speed, position and time to obtain a homogeneous mixture. Stirring speeds of 500 rpm, 800 rpm and 1100 rpm were investigated together with stirring height and stirring diameter. Percentage of homogeneity of the mixture was investigated ranging from 10 to 60 minutes with a 10 minutes interval. The effect of stirring time and speed on viscosity was also examined. It was found that a four blade radial impeller gives the best result for mixing in all cases.

Introduction: There are many methods of analyzing the appearance of the breasts, but most of them are based on the patient’s subjective assessment or on the opinion of a specialist panel. Anthropometric measurements enable objective breast evaluation. The aim of the study was to compare the objective and subjective evaluation of aesthetic results of breast symmetrization in patients with Poland syndrome. Material and methods: The analysis of the results of the treatment was performed in 7 patients treated surgically due to unilateral breast underdevelopment in Poland syndrome. In the postoperative assessment, the following features were considered: 1 - breast volume, symmetry of: 2 – nipple areola-complexes (NAC), 3 - inframammary folds (IMF), 4 – upper poles (UP). The subjective assessment performed by the patient included each of the listed features and the overall satisfaction with the results of symmetrization on the 10-point Likert scale. Then, objective metric breast analysis was performed. Results: Overall assessment of postoperative breast asymmetry (mean 8.1) indicates a high level of patients’ satisfaction with breasts symmetrization. An objective analysis showed that the average breasts’ difference in volume was about 36 cc and the difference in NAC location was about 1.2 cm. Conclusion: 3D imaging is helpful in planning breast symmetrization procedures, especially in breast prostheses’ selection. Combination of this method with clinical experience results in good postoperative effects.
