Introduction: Nipple and areola reconstruction have recently become in demand because more women are having breast surgery because of breast cancer diagnoses. Many methods for reconstructing the nipple and areola of the breast have been described and several treatment methods have been developed to improve the aesthetic results. The purpose of this paper is to describe one method, dermatography, a refined method of medical tattooing and the results obtained from this method. Materials and Methods: Over 10 years, 112 patients were treated with dermatography for nipple and areola reconstructions. Of these, 89 patients had received a unilateral reconstruction and 23 received a bilateral reconstruction. The first dermatographic treatment was given 8–12 months after the last intervention by the plastic surgeon. The average session lasted 45 minutes. Results were assessed by means of a short questionnaire. Results over time were evaluated by comparing pictures from previous sessions. Dermatography uses a modified tattooing called a dermainjector machine. Keloidectomy is the technique used to reduce keloid in postoperative scars. The needles of the dermainjector are positioned at an angle of 70–90 degrees to the scar surface. Small parts of the keloid are removed. At the same time pigmentation is performed. Results: Patients evaluated their results as satisfactory. Pigmentation over 5 years was judged to be stable with minor loss of pigment in only 6% of the patients, all of whom received radiation therapy for their cancer. Dermatography was well tolerated by the patients. None of the patients required local anesthesia. Discussion: Patients receiving total resection of their breasts are getting younger and perceiving the results as a severe deformation of their bodies. Results of reconstruction are judged very critically. We found that our patients considered the general visual aspect of the nipple and areola shape more important, and most of the patients did not consider reconstruction of the actual nipple mound to be necessary.

Multilayer Materials

A refined method for interpreting the Vickers composite microhardness measurement for multilayer materials having layers of arbitrary plating thickness is first presented. The position of an “effective substrate” is found using the concept of the “plastic boundary,” and the depth-wise deformation of each layer is considered in a double-iterative procedure which converges fast. This computational method is then extended from pyramidal indenters to conical and spherical indenters (e.g., Meyer’s). For its confirmation, experimental investigations are carried out for two configurations of Cu/Ni/Au sandwiches, using different diameter spherical indenters and spherical tipped cones, through and well above the microhardness load range. The general rules for composite action are established.

In order to improve the safety of hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (CL-20), submicron CL-20 particles were prepared by a siphon ultrasonic-assisted spray refining experimental device. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and the impact sensitivity of the samples was tested. The results show that the particle size of siphon-refined CL-20 is about 800 nm~1 μm, which is more smooth, mellow, and dense than that of CL-20 prepared by a traditional pressure-refined method. The peak diffraction angle of pressure- and siphon-refined CL-20 is basically the same as that of raw CL-20, and their crystal forms are ε type. The peak strength of pressure- and siphon-refined CL-20 decreased obviously. The apparent activation energy of pressure-refined CL-20 and siphon-refined CL-20 is 13.3 kJ/mol and 11.95 kJ/mol higher than that of raw CL-20, respectively. The thermal stability of CL-20 is improved. The activation enthalpy (ΔH#) is significantly higher than that of raw CL-20, and the characteristic drop is 70.4% and 82.7% higher than that of raw CL-20. The impact sensitivity of siphon-refined CL-20 is lower than that of pressure-refined CL-20, so the safety performance of an explosive is improved obviously.

Care coordination unfolds through communications about specific patients between clinicians in the context of a specific illness episode. This is a largely informal process that is also ephemeral, in that it leaves little or no permanent documentary record. Recent research has identified care coordination and communication about patients as a potential solution for improving care for chronic illnesses while reducing health care costs and increasing accountability, and as vehicle for reducing medical errors. However, relatively few empirical data exist on the communications about patients that comprise care coordination, possibly due to the methodological difficulty in gathering such data. A theory-based and empirically refined method for representing and collecting data on CAPs is presented.
