www.PRSJournal.com 379e Capsular contracture remains the most common complication of aesthetic breast augmentation despite advances in the understanding of the biological processes that appear to be involved. The role of biofilms in the pathogenesis of capsular contracture has been reported extensively; they are believed to play an important role.1,2 Recent advances in antibiotic irrigation3,4 ...

Cataract surgery in an eye with absent or weak zonules presents unique challenges for the anterior segment surgeon. With the introduction of the capsular tension ring (CTR), and its several modified versions, the ability to perform safe cataract extraction with the implantation of a stable and well-centered intraocular lens (IOL) within the capsular bag has increased substantially. In order to ...

BACKGROUND A capsular shift procedure has been described for the treatment of hip instability; however, the biomechanical effects of such a shift are unknown. PURPOSE To create a cadaveric model of hip capsule laxity and evaluate the biomechanical effects of a capsular shift used to treat hip instability on this model. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS Eight cadaveric hips...

The stretching capability of the zonules was studied in 40 human eyes obtained postmortem from 27 patients. A continuous circular capsulorhexis (CCC) (2.2-6.8 mm) was performed, and the lenses were removed by either phacoemulsification (26 eyes) or planned extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) (14 eyes). Maximal zonular stretch was calculated as the difference in distance between the ciliary...

ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article history: Received: 2 May 2014 Accepted: 12 August 2014 Available online: 1 December 2014 Pasteurella multocida is known as one of the main organisms causing pneumonia in sheep. As immunity in pasteurellosis is serogroup specific, identification of prevalent capsular group among endemic areas is essential. The aim of this study was to molecular identification and de...
