Capsular Contracture after Calf Augmentation with Silicone Implant Insertion [PDF]

Archives of Plastic Surgery, 2015
The legs are an aesthetically important part of the body, and an increasing number of patients desire calf-contouring procedures to improve the overall appearance of their legs. At one end of the spectrum, botulinum toxin injections are used to reduce the volume of hypertrophic calf muscles, and at the other end, silicone implants or autologous fat may

Conductive Additives for Next‐Generation Batteries: Emphasizing the Potential of Bio‐Derived 3D Carbon Architectures at Electrode–Electrolyte Interfaces

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
3D conductive frameworks can maintain continuous electron transport, mechanical stability, and interfacial integrity, helping next‐generation batteries operate more efficiently. This Review examines their relevance to Si anodes, all‐solid‐state batteries, and dry‐processed electrodes, and highlights bio‐derived carbons as sustainable, structurally ...

Pilot Study of Association of Bacteria on Breast Implants with Capsular Contracture [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2009
ABSTRACT Capsular contracture is the most common and frustrating complication in women who have undergone breast implantation. Its cause and, accordingly, treatment and prevention remain to be elucidated fully. The aim of this prospective observational pilot study was to test the hypothesis that the presence of bacteria on breast

Models for Implant-Induced Capsular Contracture Post Breast Cancer Surgery

Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2023
AbstractCapsular contracture is a painful deformation of scar-tissue that may form around an implant in post-breast cancer reconstruction or cosmetic surgery. Inflammation due to surgical trauma or contamination in the tissue around the implant could account for recruitment of immune cells, and transdifferentiation of resident fibroblasts into cells ...

Direct Measurement of the Singlet Lifetime and Photoexcitation Behavior of the Boron Vacancy Center in Hexagonal Boron Nitride

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Negatively charged boron vacancy defects in hexagonal boron nitride promise near‐surface quantum sensing, but their internal spin transition rates are only partly understood. This work directly measures the defect's singlet‐state lifetime, 15(3) ns, using a nanosecond rise‐time dual‐pulse photoluminescence‐recovery method, and shows that high laser ...

Assessment of human adipose‐derived stem cell on surface‐modified silicone implant to reduce capsular contracture formation

Bioengineering & Translational Medicine, 2022
Medical devices made from poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)‐based silicone implants have been broadly used owing to their inert properties, biocompatibility, and low toxicity.
