Vascular complications with injection implants: treatment with hyperbaric chamber.

Introduction: The use of facial fillers has increased over the years because they are less invasive and present lower risks and faster results, along with shorter recovery time.

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a possible treatment for vascular complications resulting from facial fillers.

Methodology: This is a retrospective study of a series of patients treated at with hyperbaric oxygen therapy at the Brazilian Institute for Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (Instituto de Oxigenoterapia Hiperbárica do Brasil), after vascular complications from facial fillers.

Aesthetic correction of lesion by post-liposuction corticoid infiltration using subcision, PMMA filling, and CO laser.

Introduction: Post-liposuction fibrosis is a relatively common complication which can be repaired.

Case Report: We report a case of cutaneous atrophy and diffuse irregularity of the abdominal region with achromia post-liposuction. She was treated with subcision, PMMA filler and fractioned CO laser.

Replacement of gluteal implants by polymethyl methacrylate filler: case report.

Silicone prostheses are an alternative to shape the buttock but further studies are still needed to support the effectiveness of its use. A patient sought medical attention for being dissatisfied with the glutaeal silicone prostheses inserted using subcutaneous technique four years before. The treatment adopted was prosthesis removal surgery, and subsequent filling with PMMA.

Gluteal Augmentation with Polymethyl Methacrylate: A 10-year Cohort Study.

Background: Many techniques for buttocks augmentation have been developed and published, for a more natural, satisfactory, and safe result for the patient. It has been a challenge to find a technique that presented not only volume gain but also gluteal remodeling.

Methods: A total of 1,681 patients who underwent gluteal augmentation with Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) between 2009 and 2018 were selected for this retrospective cohort study.

Association between cervical lesion grade and micronucleus frequency in the Papanicolaou test.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between the frequency of micronuclei (MN) and the cellular changes detected in the conventional Papanicolaou test. One hundred and seventy-four Papanicolaou test smears with cellular changes were examined. MN screening was done in cytopathological smears by counting 1,000 cervical cells in a light microscope.

The effect of maternal hypercholesterolemia on the placenta and fetal arteries in rabbits.

Purpose: To investigate the degree of placental permeability in dyslipidemic rabbits and the consequent vascular dysfunction in fetuses of female rabbits with high lipoprotein levels.

Methods: Fifteen adult females New Zealand White rabbits were divided into two groups. Group 1(n=5) - hypercholesterolemic diet with 0.

Comparison of rimonabant and sibutramine treatment effects on food compulsion in rats.

Purpose: To compare the therapeutic effect of rimonabant, a new drug which is a selective antagonist of CB1 receptors, with the sibutramine.

Methods: It is an experimental clinical trial, prospective, placebo controlled. Our test was performed in 38 rats, adults females with a hyper caloric diet.

Regression of gestational diabetes induced cardiomegaly in offspring of diabetic rat.

Purpose: To compare body weight and length, heart weight and length, heart-to-body weight ratio, glycemia, and morphometric cellular data of offspring of diabetic rats (ODR) and of normal rats (control).

Methods: Diabetes was induced in 3 pregnant Wistar rats, bearing 30 rats, on the 11th day after conception by intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg/kg of streptozotocin. Six normal pregnant Wistar rats, bearing 50 rats, made up the control group.

Antidepressant behavioral effects of duloxetine and amitriptyline in the rat forced swimming test.

Purpose: To compare the effects of the antidepressant drugs duloxetine and amitriptyline on depressive behaviors in rats.

Methods: Fifteen male Wistar rats were given systemic injections of duloxetine, amitriptyline or saline prior to a Forced Swimming Test (FST). Immobility and number of stops were measured.

[Pattern of drug consumption without medical prescription in the city of Porto Alegre, RS].

Self-medication is a very common practice not only in Brazil but also in other countries. It is defined as medication of oneself without medical advice, the patient himself deciding which drug to use. The overall objective of this study is to describe the pattern of drug consumption without medical prescription in the city of Porto Alegre between January and February 2007.

The evaluation of maté (Ilex paraguariensis) genetic toxicity in human lymphocytes by the cytokinesis-block in the micronucleus assay.

The present study evaluates the clastogenic and/or aneugenic potential of maté (Ilex paraguariensis) - previously tested for the presence of 48 organophosphorous pesticides - in the culture of human lymphocytes in the absence of exogenous metabolic activation. Peripheral blood was obtained once from three healthy female donors for lymphocyte cell cultures. The cultures were treated with maté infusion (filtered in sterilized sartorius filter with a 0.

Antidepressant behavioral effects of duloxetine and fluoxetine in the rat forced swimming test.

Purpose: To compare the effects of the antidepressant drugs duloxetine and fluoxetine on depressive behaviors in rodents.

Methods: Eighteen male Wistar rats were given systemic injections of duloxetine, fluoxetine, or saline prior to a Forced Swimming Test (FST). Immobility and number of stops were measured.
