Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a hybrid technique combining tumescent liposuction and surgical excision for treating advanced lipolymphedema of the thigh after applying compression therapy.
- Conducted between 2016 and 2020, the study involved 19 patients (18 females, 1 male) who underwent complete decongestive therapy followed by surgery to reshape the thigh without leaving visible scars.
- The results indicated that this approach effectively transformed massive lipolymphedema into a more manageable condition, providing safe, effective, and aesthetically pleasing outcomes with minimal complications.
Background: The study aims to examine the possible effect of melatonin against cisplatin-induced submandibular degeneration in experimental rats exploring its ameliorative mechanisms.
Methods: Rats were classified into four experimental groups; control group; melatonin group; cisplatin group; and cisplatin+melatonin group. Submandibular tissues were collected.
Article Synopsis
- Embryo transfer (ET) is being tested in horses to enhance genetic improvement and the study focuses on improving ET success by re-flushing and re-transferring embryos from contaminated to healthy recipient mares.
- The research involved 25 recipient mares, examining the effectiveness of embryo transfer, with 7 serving as a control group and 18 undergoing treatment to check for infections before transferring embryos.
- Results showed high rates of endometritis in control mares, leading to embryonic death, while treated mares had a better pregnancy rate, especially in embryos with well-developed capsules, highlighting the importance of monitoring and addressing uterine health.
