Article Synopsis
  • The transconjunctival approach in lower lid blepharoplasty avoids muscle damage and scarring but struggles with accessing the lateral fat pad (LFP), leading to the use of upper blepharoplasty for LFP removal in this study.
  • A study reviewed 47 patients who underwent combined upper and lower blepharoplasty using a single access method, focusing on patient outcomes and complications.
  • Results showed improved aesthetic outcomes and patient satisfaction, with minimal risks and complications, highlighting the safety and effectiveness of this combined technique for eyelid surgery.

A data-driven polynomial approach to reproduce the scar tissue outgrowth around neural implants.

J Mater Sci Mater Med

Department of Cell Biology, Physiology and Immunology, Institute of Neurosciences, Universitat Autónoma de Barcellona, and Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red en Enfermedades Neurodegenerativas (CIBERNED), Bellaterra, Spain.

Despite the huge complexity of the foreign body reaction, a quantitative assessment over time of the scar tissue thickness around implanted materials is needed to figure out the evolution of neural implants for long times. A data-driven approach, based on phenomenological polynomial functions, is able to reproduce experimental data. Nevertheless, a misuse of this strategy may lead to unsatisfactory results, even if standard indexes are optimized.
