Histologic Analysis of Zafirlukast's Effect on Capsule Formation Around Silicone Implants: Some Considerations
No full textWe have read with profound interest the article by Bastos
and colleagues entitled Histologic Analysis of Zafirlukast’s
Effect on Capsule Formation Around Silicone Implants.
We have truly enjoyed this study because it focuses on the
very important issue of ongoing research toward pharmacologic
therapy for the treatment of periprosthetic capsule
contracture. The latter has an incidence in the range of
0.5% to 50% [3]. Despite persistent clinical and laboratory
investigation, to date, no solution has been developed to
solve or prevent this problem

Abdominoplasty: Thromboembolic Risks for Both Sexes
No full textDuring surgical procedures, coagulation complications may occur. Discriminating factors are multiple and may vary because of the anatomical regions involved and because of preexisting diseases. The aim of this study was to analyze changes in such hematological parameters of patients undergoing conventional abdominoplasty with standard surgical procedures under general anaesthesia. For the study, 40 patients (20 men and 20 women) 30 to 60 years with normal coagulation assessments, no previous or current history of hemorrhagic or thrombotic disease, and no primary family history of such problems were selected. All the patients underwent conventional abdominoplasty surgical procedures. Analysis of the results suggests that immediately after surgery, in the absence of any preexisting hypo- or hypercoagulability state, there was no circumstantial modification in coagulation factors considered predictive for thromboembolic risk. However, an interesting difference between male and female patients was noted. In the male group, there was an insignificant uniform downward trend of all values immediately after surgery. In conclusion, women are less hypercoagulative than men in the postoperative period, suggesting that women have limited protection from the development of thromboembolic complications immediately after surgical procedures.During surgical procedures, coagulation complications may occur.
