In an effort to prevent post-operative eyelid complications, lower blepharoplasty requires taut approximation of the lower lid to the globe. This is routinely accomplished with lid tightening procedures and/or canthal fixation. Multiple techniques can be utilized in combination to appropriately and aesthetically reposition the lower eyelid during cosmetic blepharoplasty.

Objectives: To examine the efficacy of OviTex PRS Reinforced Tissue Matrix (Resorbable) (TELA Bio, Malvern, PA), a hybrid ovine-reinforced mesh, in comparison with STRATTICE Reconstructive Tissue Matrix (Allergan, Irvine, CA), in patients with advanced capsular contracture.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how ocean acidification (OA) combined with river inputs affects water quality and acidification in estuarine environments, particularly in Tillamook Bay, Oregon.
- Researchers collected data on carbonate chemistry and river conditions over a year to understand the influences of human development and natural processes on acidification.
- Findings reveal that while riverine acidification significantly impacts areas with more human development, emissions-driven OA is the main contributor to acidification, making local management strategies less effective in addressing these issues.
Attribution of the ocean acidification (OA) signal in estuarine carbonate system observations is necessary for quantifying the impacts of global anthropogenic emissions on water quality, and informing managers of the efficacy of potential mitigation options. We present an analysis of observational data to characterize dynamics and drivers of seasonal carbonate system variability in two seagrass habitats of Puget Sound, WA, USA, and estimate how carbon accumulations due to anthropogenic emissions interact with these drivers of carbonate chemistry to determine seasonally resolved rates of acidification in these habitats. Three independent simulations of accumulation from 1765 to 2100 were run using two previously published methods and one novel method for estimation.

Background: Knowledge of Medicare is essential because of its significant contribution in physician reimbursements. Previous studies across surgical specialties have demonstrated that Medicare, despite keeping up with inflation in some areas, has remained flat when accounting for physician reimbursement.
