Revisiting Triple Antibiotic Irrigation of Breast Implant Pockets: A Placebo-controlled Single Practice Cohort Study

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2013
Background: Capsular contracture is the most common complication following primary augmentation mammoplasty. It remains poorly understood but is attributed to subclinical infection, immunologic response to breast implants, and chronic inflammatory ...

BellaGel breast implant: 6-Year results of a prospective cohort study

Archives of Plastic Surgery, 2020
Background This is the first clinical study conducted among Asian women using breast implants manufactured by an Asian company. Four-year data regarding the safety and efficacy of BellaGel breast implants have already been published, and we now report 6-

Dual‐Functional Ingestible Passive Capsules for High‐Throughput Intestinal Sampling with Sealed Containment and Targeted Drug Delivery

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
To address challenges in high‐throughput intestinal sampling with sealed containment and target drug delivery, we developed a dual‐functional ingestible passive capsule with a dual‐triggered control system based on pH‐response and mechanical actuation.

Tumbling Magnetic Microrobots for Targeted In Vivo Drug Delivery in the GI Tract

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
We introduce a microrobot design and integrated system for on‐demand targeted drug release in the gastrointestinal tract. The microrobot has an embedded magnet for actuation with external magnetic fields and is visualized in real time using ultrasound. It has two drug release ports sealed with a thermally sensitive wax. Local heating of the wax using a

Strategic Design of Soft Actuators in Translational Medical Robotics for Human‐Centered Healthcare

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Soft robotics enables biocompatible, compliant medical devices, but clinical translation requires design‐driven engineering beyond materials. This perspective reviews implantable, surgical, and wearable systems by actuation mechanism, highlighting how optimized architectures and integration improve mechanical interfacing, adaptability, and durability ...

A new treatment for capsular contracture [PDF]

Aesthetic Surgery Journal, 2002
To the Editor: In the past, the only treatment for breast implant capsular contractures was surgery. Although open capsulectomies and capsulotomies are very effective, unfortunately the capsule often recurs. In addition to surgery, Vitamin E, 2000 IU daily, and breast massage have been used to reduce capsular contracture rates.

The Trichinella Super‐Pangenome Reveals the Evolution of Encapsulation and Predicted Host–Parasite Protein Interactions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The muscle capsule of Trichinella is a critical structure that impedes immune attacks and drug penetration, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying its formation remain poorly understood. Using a high‐quality super‐pangenome comprising 12 Trichinella species, we compared extensive genomic variations between encapsulating and non‐encapsulating ...

Efficacy of posterior capsular release for flexion contracture in posterior‐stabilized total knee arthroplasty

Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics, 2021
Purpose Posterior capsular contracture causes stiffness during knee extension in knee osteoarthritis. Furthermore, in posterior‐stabilized total knee arthroplasty (PS‐TKA), a unique design such as the cam mechanism could conflict with the posterior ...

New High‐Tc Charge‐Transfer Multiferroicity in the Quasi‐2D Antiferromagnet CrSbS3

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Low‐dimensional magnets, particularly 2D systems, offer a rich platform for realizing unconventional multiferroic mechanisms, especially when multiple polarization channels coexist. In the quasi‐2D antiferromagnet CrSbS3, which crystallizes in the centrosymmetric orthorhombic space group Pnma and orders magnetically at TN ≈ 90 K, two ...

Animal Model of Implant Capsular Contracture: Effects of Chitosan [PDF]

Aesthetic Surgery Journal, 2011
The mechanism(s) responsible for breast capsular contracture (CC) remain unknown, but inflammatory pathways play a role. Various molecules have been attached to implant shells in the hope of modifying or preventing CC. The intrinsic antibacterial and antifungal activities of chitosan and related oligochitosan molecules lend themselves well to the study
