Complications of severe breast deformities after a silicone injection over 20-year and a successful surgical treatment.

Breast deformities caused by silicone injections affect aesthetic results and cause irreversible complications in patients. In the treatment, it is necessary to entirely remove silicone particles and infiltrated and fibrous breast tissues. The maximal preservation of healthy breast tissues is also critical.

Complicated Surgical Site Infection with Mycobacterium Abscessus After Liposuction and Affections of Corticosteroids in the Treatment Regimen: Three Cases Report and a Systematic Review.

Introduction: Mycobacterium abscessus infection after liposuction/fat grafting is a rare complication that is hard to diagnose and treat. Misdiagnosis could result in treatment failure and prolonged hospital stays. The paradoxical reaction is another complication that rarely occurs in non-HIV patients infected with nontuberculosis mycobacteria.

Modeling cue-exposure therapy for alcohol use disorder in rhesus monkeys: Effects of putative cognitive enhancers.

Background: Cue-exposure therapy (CET) is an effective approach for anxiety-related disorders, but its effectiveness for substance use disorders is less clear. One potential means of improving CET outcomes is to include a cognitive-enhancing pharmacotherapy. This study evaluated d-cycloserine (DCS) and RY-023, putative cognitive enhancers targeting glutamate and GABA systems, respectively, in a monkey model of CET for alcohol use disorder.

Prelacteal and early formula feeding increase risk of infant hospitalisation: a prospective cohort study.

Objective: To ascertain the relationship between prelacteal feeding, early formula feeding and adverse health outcomes, especially hospitalisation during the first year of life.

Design: Multicentre prospective cohort study.

Setting: Six hospitals across three cities in Vietnam.

A survey of irritable bowel syndrome in Vietnam using the Rome criteria.

Prevalence estimates for irritable bowel syndrome from surveys in Western countries are 4.4% to 22%, generally higher in women than men, and only a minority seek health care. There are few studies of bowel patterns in Asian countries.

Cell membrane array fabrication and assay technology.

Background: Microarray technology has been used extensively over the past 10 years for assessing gene expression, and has facilitated precise genetic profiling of everything from tumors to small molecule drugs. By contrast, arraying cell membranes in a manner which preserves their ability to mediate biochemical processes has been considerably more difficult.

Results: In this article, we describe a novel technology for generating cell membrane microarrays for performing high throughput biology.
