To evaluate the use of epinephrine in arthroscopic infusion serum as a measure to improve the quality of surgical viewing during procedures for treating rotator cuff tears. This was a prospective randomized double-blind comparative study in which 49 arthroscopic repair procedures on rotator cuff tears were evaluated. Patients presenting ASA I and II surgical risk were included.

- The study aimed to explore how different biomaterials affect the healing of abdominal wounds in incisional hernias using rabbits.
- During the experiment, researchers used various mesh types (PREMILENE®, ULTRAPRO®, PROCEED®) and compared them to repairs without mesh, analyzing the outcomes after 30 days.
- Results indicated that while all mesh types led to adhesion formation, UP and PCD had less adhesion area and vascularization, while PPL and PCD experienced more mesh shrinkage and a stronger acute inflammatory response.
Purpose: To compare the wound healing of the abdominal wall of rabbits exposed to nicotine and submitted to abdominoplasty using 2-octyl cyanoacrylate or nylon thread for the surgery suture.
Methods: Thirty two rabbits were used. They were divided in subgroups: A1, A2, B1 e B2.
