The NaV1.8-Collapsin Response Mediator Protein 5 Interaction Regulates NaV1.8 Membrane Localization and Nociception
Nociceptor action potential firing is a tightly balanced mechanism whose dysregulation contributes to chronic pain. During the establishment of persistent pain, increased function of the voltage gated sodium channels NaV1.7 and NaV1.8 led to facilitated or spontaneous activity in sensory neurons. While pharmacological inhibition of NaV1.7 is becoming encumbered with unwanted effects including hypotension, the selective drug candidate VX548 targeting NaV1.8 recently yielded positive results in two phase 2 clinical trials for acute pain after abdominoplasty or bunionectomy without important side effects.

Effect of Injectable Acellular Adipose Matrix on Soft Tissue Reconstruction in a Murine Model
ConclusionsIn summary, injectable AAM demonstrates effectiveness comparable to conventional fat grafting concerning volume effects and tissue regeneration in soft tissue reconstruction. This promising allogeneic injectable holds the potential to serve as a safe and effective “Off-the-Shelf” alternative in both aesthetic and reconstructive clinical practices.No Level AssignedThis journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each submission to which Evidence-Based Medicine rankings are applicable.

Meleney's gangrene managed with a single extensive debridement and resultant defect closure with abdominoplasty technique - a case report
CONCLUSION: This case is presented to show how early intervention and radical debridement can improve the outcome in cases of Meleney's gangrene, which is rare and clinically significant. Additionally, this suggests that a cosmetic procedure known as abdominoplasty could be a viable option for wound closure.PMID:38463127 | PMC:PMC10923296 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001727 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

The Role of Density in Achieving Volume and Weight Symmetry in Breast Reconstruction
Conclusion Our results support the suitability of abdominal-based perforator flaps in achieving both volume and weight symmetry in unilateral autologous breast reconstruction. Abdominal flap volume can be derived one-to-one from mastectomy weight. Further, given significant brand-dependent density differences, the potential to impose weight disbalances when performing unilateral implant-based reconstructions of large breasts should be considered.
