Prospects for Use of Botulinum Toxin Type A for Prevention of Hypertrophic and Keloid Scars after Surgeries.

 To evaluate the possibility of improving and preventing the formation of postoperative hypertrophic and keloid scars using botulinum toxin type A (BTA).  Scientific articles published in English have been systematically screened in PubMed/MEDLINE database over the entire period. The following information about the studies was analyzed: first author surname; year of publication; number of patients; average age; scar location; dosage of the drug administered; follow-up duration; scar assessment methods; results, incidence of hypertrophic and keloid scars formation.

Circumlateral Vertical Augmentation Mastopexy for the Correction of Ptosis and Hypoplasia of the Lower Medial Quadrant in Tuberous Breast Deformity.

Background: Type I tuberous breast deformity (according to Grolleau's classification) is characterized by the hypoplasia of the lower medial quadrant of the mammary gland and ptosis of the lower lateral quadrant. This results in an aesthetic imbalance in the breast that has an unnatural and unattractive appearance. The study aims to propose a surgical technique ensuring the successful correction of hypoplasia of the lower medial gland quadrant combined with ptosis.

Tuberous Breast Deformity Correction: 12-year Experience.

Background: This article shows our 12-year experience in application of the technique of breast parenchyma modification with simultaneous augmentation on the tuberous breast. We undertook the study, and with the results of this study we can say that tuberous breast deformation is a common pathology that is caused not only by a thickening of the superficial fascia but also by breast parenchyma fibrosis. When traditional techniques without parenchyma modification are used during the surgery, it is often that patients come back to treat complications.

[Changes in body composition of oncological patients receiving nutritional support].

Unlabelled: The article is devoted to problems of diagnostic and correction of malnutrition at patients with gastric cancer, undergoing the gastroectomy.

Aims: to study losses of body mass and dynamics of boby composition in organism of patients with gastric cancer, undergoing surgery, to estimate the efficiency of nutritional support.

Materials And Methods: open prospective cohort case-control study.

[Effect of melafen on mitochondrial apparatus of apical meristem in growth regulation in potato tubers].

Growth stimulation in potato Solanum tuberosum L. tubers by melafen preparation caused an increase in area ofmitochondrial apparatus (increase in mitochondrial size) in apical meristem cells. Melafen stimulated mitochondrial differentiation (increase in number of condensed mitochondria enriched in cristas).
