    Abstract Animal-based metal threads were largely used between the 10th and the fifteenth century, in European, Middle Eastern and Far Eastern textile productions for the decoration of textiles and cloths. They belong to a larger group of metal threads, used either as flat threads or wrapped around a fiber core, that were backed by an organic support (animal or paper). This study focuses on the medieval production of metal threads backed by an animal membrane (e.g. gut membrane), or skin. A total of 91 samples were collected from a corpus of 66 textile fragments belonging to 54 catalogued objects. The relevance and novelty of the present study is represented by the combination of proteomics, cross-section analysis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDS and SEM-µXRF). The diversity of materials and manufacturing techniques found within each typology of thread, respectively, membrane-based metal threads and skin-based metal threads, hinted at different production technologies. Membrane-based threads were found to be invariably made from cattle gut membrane, coated with gilt-silver leaves. A possible sheep glue adhesive was found in a few samples. Skin-based threads were made from either goat or sheep leather, coated with metal leaves or powder. Within the three different types of coatings identified (silver, gold and gilt-silver), gold coatings were the most represented. Goat leather threads were associated with an egg-white binder, while sturgeon glue was identified as adhesive in all sheep leather threads. Collagen glue from other species (cattle, sheep, horse) was occasionally found in mixed adhesives. In two textiles, the finding of human proteins indicates past contamination due to handling or use. The analytical results show coherence between the fabrication patterns of animal-based metal threads and their probable geographical areas of manufacture, indicating that the study of materials and techniques provide further criteria to classify and group textiles, and trace correlations between manufacturing centers within Eurasian territories.

    Abstract Background: Conservative surgery and radiotherapy (CS + RT) have become the standard of care for early-stage breast cancer as an alternative to mastectomy. With the increasing rate of obesity and incidence of macromastia, surgeons increasingly encounter patients with a history of breast radiation desiring breast reduction. However, elective breast surgery after irradiation remains to be controversial due to known adverse effects of radiation, especially on wound healing, and unknown effects of lumpectomy on traditional pedicle choices. Herein, we present our experiences and outcomes of reduction mammaplasties and mastopexies in patients with breast cancer previously treated with CS + RT.
    Methods: Between 2009 and 2020, 13 patients undergoing reduction mammaplasty or mastopexy, who have previously underwent CS + RT with or without axillary surgery, were included in this study. Surgical techniques and complications, including delayed wound healing, infection, fat necrosis, and nipple-areolar necrosis, were recorded and analyzed based on the irradiated versus nonirradiated sides.
    Results: Of the 13 patients, delayed wound healing occurred in 7% on the irradiated side and 15% on the nonirradiated sides (P > 0.05). No significant correlation was observed between the number of complications and time of elective breast surgery from the last radiation therapy. Complications between irradiated and nonirradiated breasts did not significantly differ in both the reduction mammaplasty and mastopexy groups.
    Conclusions: Reduction mammaplasty and mastopexy in patients with a history of lumpectomy and breast irradiation can be safely performed and should be considered in those experiencing macromastia or asymmetry post-CS + RT.

    Abstract Background: Occult breast carcinoma is occasionally found in breast reduction specimens. Although its incidence varies widely, there is a trend toward an increased incidence for women with a history of breast cancer. The authors performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of occult carcinoma incidence in breast reduction specimens.
    Methods: The MEDLINE and Embase databases were searched for peer-reviewed studies with no language restrictions for studies that recorded the incidence of occult carcinoma in breast reduction specimens. Cancer incidence per specimen was pooled for women with and without a history of breast cancer.
    Results: Forty-two studies were eligible for inclusion, of which 29 were quantitatively analyzed. The pooled incidence of carcinoma was higher within specimens from women with breast cancer (3.4 percent; 95 percent CI, 2.2 to 5.3 percent) than without (0.6 percent; 95 percent CI, 0.4 to 0.8 percent), and this increased likelihood was significant when populations were compared directly (OR, 6.02; 95 percent CI, 3.06 to 11.86; p < 0.0001).
    Conclusions: Women with a history of breast cancer have an increased incidence of occult breast carcinoma within their breast reduction specimens compared with women with no breast cancer history. There is a need for preoperative radiology screening, counseling, and histopathology guidelines to ensure adequate diagnosis and management of these women.

    Abstract The demystification of how 19th-century novelly designed materials became significant elements of modern technological, economic, and cultural life requires a complete understanding of the material dimensions of historical artifacts. The objects frequently described as the earliest manufactured plastic products-the billiard balls made by John Wesley Hyatt and his associates from the late 1860s-are examined closely for the first time and are found to be more complex and functionally more successful than has been described. Modern analytical techniques such as optical microscopy, scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence, micro-Fourier transformed infrared, and handheld/micro-Raman spectroscopies were used to reveal the complex composition of the Smithsonian Institution's "original" 1868 celluloid billiard ball. Comparisons with billiard and pool balls commercialized from the 1880s to the 1960s showed an unexpected consistency in material formulations. All specimens were made of an unprecedented composite material prepared with a mixture of cellulose nitrate, camphor, and ground bone; the source of the bone was identified as cattle by peptide mass fingerprint (ZooMS). Patent specifications and contemporary journal descriptions explained how and when these formulations emerged. Combining the technical analyses of compositions with a careful reading of the historical record and contemporary descriptions reveals the key elements of the first successful efforts to substitute materials to assist the survival of endangered animals.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Numerous observations have indicated an increased risk of developing various types of cancers, as well as cancer-related mortality, among patients with diabetes and obesity. The purpose of this review is to outline multiple-cancer screening among these patients through a team-based approach and to present the findings of a pioneering integrated care program designed for patients with obesity with a specific emphasis on cancer prevention.
    Recent findings: A community-based multi-cancer prevention program, which provides all services in one location and utilizes team-based approaches, is reported to be feasible and has the potential to enhance the uptake rate of multiple cancers screening among patients with diabetes and obesity. The team-based approach is a commonly utilized method for managing patients with diabetes, obesity, and cancer, and has been shown to be efficacious. Nevertheless, research on team-based cancer screening programs for patients with diabetes and obesity remains limited. Providing a comprehensive screening for colorectal, prostate, and breast cancer, as well as metabolic syndrome, during a single clinic visit has been proven effective and well-received by participants.
