    Abstract Background: Breast cancer screening and surgical interventions are often underutilized in the Chinese community. For both Chinese American (CA) and native Chinese (NC) patients, screening rates are well below medical recommendations, which places these patients at risk for late diagnoses and larger tumors. There is also a notable reluctance to breast reconstruction after mastectomy. We investigated the role of sociodemographic and cultural barriers in breast treatment trends among Chinese breast cancer survivors.
    Methods: A literature search for full-text articles published between 2011 and 2021 was performed using PubMed, The Web of Science, and Embase. The articles that were selected contained information regarding Chinese individuals in the United States or China who had undergone breast cancer screening or diagnosis of breast cancer and received treatment with or without reconstructive surgery.
    Results: Both patient populations exhibited screening rates that were significantly lower than national recommendations. Of the CA patients, 25% reported never receiving a mammogram, whereas 450 million NCs have been left unscreened despite efforts made by the Chinese government. Misinformation, cultural beliefs, and fear significantly contributed to diminished breast health care among CA and NC women. Fear of recurrence, breast value, community influence, and limited health care resources were found to be the primary drivers of low breast reconstruction uptake.
    Conclusions: In both NC and CA women, there is a critical need for improved breast health information dissemination and overall quality of care. The findings summarized in this review can guide such efforts.

    Abstract While microplastics (MP) have been found in aquatic ecosystems around the world, the understanding of drivers and controls of their occurrence and distribution have yet to be determined. In particular, their fate and transport in river catchments and networks are still poorly understood. We identified MP concentrations in water and streambed sediment at fifteen locations across the Neuse River Basin in North Carolina, USA. Water samples were collected with two different mesh sizes, a trawl net (>335 μm) and a 64 μm sieve used to filter bailing water samples. MPs >335 μm were found in all the water samples with concentrations ranging from 0.02 to 221 particles per m

    Abstract Background: Robust personal protective equipment is essential in preventing the transmission of coronavirus disease 2019 to head and neck surgeons who are routinely involved in aerosol generating procedures.
    Objective: This paper describes the collective experience, across 3 institutes, of using a reusable half-face respirator in 72 head and neck surgery cases.
    Method: Cost analysis was performed to demonstrate the financial implications of using a reusable respirator compared to single-use filtering facepiece code 3 masks.
    Conclusion: The reusable respirator is a cost-effective alternative to disposable filtering facepiece code 3 respirators. Supplying reusable respirators to individual staff members may increase the likelihood of them having appropriate personal protective equipment during their clinical duties.

    Abstract Background: Follow-up surveillance of head and neck cancer patients varies throughout the UK. The heterogeneity of these patients limits the applicability of a standardised protocol. Improvements in our understanding of the natural history of the disease may assist in the tailoring of resources to patients.
    Method: Prospective data collected at the Cumberland Infirmary over a 13-year period were analysed, primarily focusing upon recurrence rates and time to recurrence.
    Results: In keeping with other studies, recurrence of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma was found to be maximal within the first three years of treatment, regardless of subsite.
    Conclusion: Hospital-based surveillance may be safely discontinued after three years for some patients. Laryngeal carcinoma may require further surveillance due to possible delayed recurrence of a second primary formation. Emphasis must be placed on patient education, accessibility to head and neck services, and the existence of a robust system to facilitate urgent referrals.
