Anatomical Terminology01:20

Anatomical Terminology

Knowledge of anatomy is essential to understand human biology and medicine. Anatomists and health care professionals use standard terminology to describe the human body with more precision and no ambiguity. Anatomical terms have mostly Greek and Latin-derived roots. Because these languages are rarely used in conversation, the meaning of words remains the same. Each term is made up of a root in between the prefixes and suffixes. The root of a term often refers to an organ, tissue, or condition,...
Classification of Epithelial Tissues: Overview01:22

Classification of Epithelial Tissues: Overview

Epithelial tissues are classified according to the shape of the cells and the number of cell layers formed. Cell shapes can be squamous (flattened and thin), cuboidal (square-like, as wide as it is tall), or columnar (rectangular, taller than it is wide). Additionally, the nucleus shape helps identify the type of epithelial cells. Squamous cells have flattened disc-shaped nuclei, cuboidal cells have spherical nuclei, and columnar cells have elongated nuclei.
Based on the number of cell layers,...
Classification of Systems-I01:26

Classification of Systems-I

Linearity is a system property characterized by a direct input-output relationship, combining homogeneity and additivity.
Homogeneity dictates that if an input x(t) is multiplied by a constant c, the output y(t) is multiplied by the same constant. Mathematically, this is expressed as:
Classification of Systems-II01:31

Classification of Systems-II

Continuous-time systems have continuous input and output signals, with time measured continuously. These systems are generally defined by differential or algebraic equations. For instance, in an RC circuit, the relationship between input and output voltage is expressed through a differential equation derived from Ohm's law and the capacitor relation,
Structuralism01:26

Structuralism

Structuralism, an early psychological theory developed by Wilhelm Wundt and his student Edward Bradford Titchener, sought to dissect the human mind into its most fundamental components. Wundt's groundbreaking work in his laboratory set the stage for Titchener to define structuralism's goal as cataloging the "atoms" of the mind—sensations, images, and feelings—akin to how chemists identify elements of matter.
Titchener's approach to structuralism was unique. He employed introspection, a method...
Understanding Self-Concept01:20

Understanding Self-Concept

The self-concept encompasses individuals' beliefs about themselves, structured through cognitive frameworks known as self-schemas. These schemas function as mental representations of specific traits or behaviors, influencing how self-relevant information is perceived, processed, and remembered. For example, individuals who are schematic for body weight are more likely to interpret routine experiences—such as dining out or shopping—through the lens of that trait. Conversely, those aschematic for...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Breast Aesthetics

Background:

  • The term 'internal bra' describes techniques for breast position stabilization and surgical result longevity.
  • Its use is increasing in surgical literature and patient information, including social media.
  • Inconsistent terminology creates confusion and conflicting information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To clarify the meaning of 'internal bra' techniques.
  • To provide an overview of diverse techniques.
  • To suggest standardized terminology for future use.

Main Methods:

  • A narrative review of surgical techniques described as 'internal bra'.
  • Literature search conducted across Medline, Embase, and Google Scholar databases.
  • Identification and categorization of distinct surgical approaches.

Main Results:

  • 'Internal bra' techniques fall into five categories: mesh, acellular dermal matrix, suture, dermal flap, and muscle techniques.
  • Promising results are noted across categories, but research is limited by small studies and short follow-up.
  • Significant inconsistencies in the application of the term 'internal bra' persist.

Conclusions:

  • Adopt the five identified group titles (mesh, acellular dermal matrix, suture, dermal flap, muscle) for 'internal bra' techniques.
  • Standardized terminology will enhance clarity in surgical literature and patient information.
  • Further research is needed to validate efficacy and compare technique superiority for improving surgical result longevity.
