“…The first time we've described the Total Pedicle Mammaplasty was in 1979 [9][10][11][12]. This technique has the advantage of creating a complete separation between the skin and the underlying gland, thus allowing a shaping of the skin independently from the glandular tissue.…”

The author, who has already described the "Total Posterior Pedicle Mammaplasty", presents a simple and rational way for immediate breast reconstruction using the same cutaneous resection principles as in the "Total Posterior Pedicle Mammaplasty". The surgeon will first draw and execute the incisions by following the rule of cutaneous resection taking care of the ptosis degree as in the "Moufarrege Total Posterior Pedicle Mammaplasty". So, the importance of resection will be directly proportionate to the angle of the arms surrounding the skin to be respected, spreading from 90 degrees in the non-ptotic breasts to 180 degrees in very ptotic breasts. The large exposition of the gland allowed by the cutaneous undermining and the total mastectomy will ensure an easy access to the axilla to perform the node surgery stage, as well as to create the retro-pectoral pocket for the installation of the prosthesis. The skin closure performed with an inverted T is similar to that of the cosmetic mammaplasty lifting. The difference with the Wise incision is that our horizontal section of the incision will be much shorter, that is to stay three to seven centimeters. Furthermore, this reconstruction, when well indicated, leads to very nice results at very low costs in terms of pain, morbidity and financial charges.

“…Starting at this spot, the two arms of the skin excision will form an angle which will depend on the breast ptosis, exactly as described in the Total Posterior Pedicle Mammaplasty technique ( Figure 5,6) [11,12].…”

“…The golden ratio, denoted by , is an irrational number given by = (1 + √ 5)/2 [1]. The paper by Ackermann [2] may likely be the earliest literature on the golden ratio in a mathematics journal in English in 1895, but it attracted and has attracted the interest of scientists and engineers in various fields of sciences and engineering, ranging from chemistry to computer science; see, for example, [1], Benassi [3], Putz [4], Orita et al [5], Perez [6], Hassaballah et al [7], Kellerhals [8], Henein et al [9], Hurtley [10], Coldea et al [11], Affleck [12], Jones et al [13], Kaygn et al [14], Cervantes et al [15], Chebotarev [16], Benavoli et al [17], Manikantan et al [18], Assimakis et al [19], Good [20], Davis and Jahnke [21], Totland [22], Moufarrège [23], Boeyens [24], Iñiguez et al [25], Andrews and Zhang [26], Hofri and Rosberg [27], Itai and Rosberg [28], Cassandras and Julka [29], and Tanackov et al [30], just to mention a few.…”

Golden Ratio Phenomenon of Random Data Obeying von Karman Spectrum

von Karman originally deduced his spectrum of wind speed fluctuation based on the Stokes-Navier equation. Taking into account, the practical issues of measurement and/or computation errors, we suggest that the spectrum can be described from the point of view of the golden ratio. We call it the golden ratio phenomenon of the von Karman spectrum. To depict that phenomenon, we derive the von Karman spectrum based on fractional differential equations, which bridges the golden ratio to the von Karman spectrum and consequently provides a new outlook of random data following the von Karman spectrum in turbulence. In addition, we express the fractal dimension, which is a measure of local self-similarity, using the golden ratio, of random data governed by the von Karman spectrum.
