Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis in Plastic Surgery.

Background: In 2011, the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) formed the Venous Thromboembolism Task Force Report, which encouraged the use of the 2005 Caprini score and was amended in 2013. Still, there have been several studies that have questioned the validity of the Caprini score. As a result, the goal of this study is to present our experience with chemoprophylaxis in cosmetic patients compared with the current recommendations for venous thromboembolism VTE) chemoprophylaxis endorsed by the ASPS.

The Inactivation of the Putative Two-Component System Sensor PA14_27940 Increases the Susceptibility to Several Antibiotics and Reduces the Motility of .

The identification of targets whose inactivation increases the activity of antibiotics helps to fight antibiotic resistance. Previous work showed that a transposon-insertion mutant in the gene increases susceptibility to aminoglycosides. Since polar effects may affect the phenotype, in the present work, we generated an in-frame deletion mutant.
