La mamoplastia de aumento consiste en insertar una prótesis dentro del tejido mamario con el fin alterar su tamaño y forma. Actualmente, se utilizan varios tipos implantes según forma, material, así como diferentes variaciones la técnica quirúrgica. Se han descrito complicaciones asociadas por ser considerados cuerpos extraños más común es contractura capsular. presenta caso paciente 41 años a ...

purpose: to compare the effect of implantation of a single-piece hydrophilic foldable acrylic intraocular lens (iol) with rectangular optic edge and a single-piece polymethyl methacrylate (pmma) iol with rounded optic edges on posterior capsular opacification )pco(. methods: this randomized clinical trial study comprised 74 eyes with senile cataract in an otherwise normal eye in patients older ...

To evaluate the influence of posterior capsular opacification (PCO) on macular optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging quality and measurements of macular retinal thickness. METHODS. In this prospective interventional case series, 32 eyes of 23 patients with PCO were recruited. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), a complete ophthalmo...

Symptomatic anterior instability of the hip is typically iatrogenic in nature and poses a challenging problem for the orthopaedist. With early recognition, capsular repair and plication are often effective in restoring stability. Cases involving multiple instability episodes or those with delayed presentation, however, may have patulous and deficient capsular tissue precluding successful capsul...

Two immunologically reactive polysaccharides have been isolated from the cell walls and from culture filtrates of a filamentous alpha-hemolytic streptococcus provisionally designated capsular type 83. Both polysaccharides were purified by diethylaminoethyl-cellulose chromatography. Analysis indicates that the capsular polysaccharide consists of galactose and phosphorus, whereas the cell wall po...

Hepatic capsular retraction refers to the loss of the normal convex hepatic contour, with the formation of an area of flattening or concavity. This can result from myriad causes, including intrinsic hepatic conditions such as cirrhosis, biliary obstruction, benign tumours, malignancy and infections, as well as extrahepatic causes such as trauma. This article aims to provide familiarity with thi...

Antibodies to a capsular polysaccharide (PS) provide protection against Streptococcus pneumoniae which express the homologous capsular serotype, and pneumococcal vaccines are designed to induce antibodies in the capsular PS. Levels and opsonophagocytic capacity of antibodies to the capsular PS of S. pneumoniae serotype 19F were determined by sera from adults immunized with 23-valent S. pneumoni...
