is gluteal autoaugmentation. Most articles focusing on the buttock region in a massive weight loss patient propose some form of auto-augmentation by using the surplus tissue. However, in a certain type of patient, this form of augmentation may not be possible due to the pronounced weight loss with lacking tissue volume. Additionally, creating flaps and burying them subcutaneously can also lead ...

BACKGROUND Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) has been established as the gold standard for treatment of complete ruptures of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in active, symptomatic individuals. In contrast, treatment of partial tears of the ACL remains controversial. Biologically augmented ACL-repair techniques are expanding in an attempt to regenerate and improve healing and...

BACKGROUND The development of capsular contracture following breast augmentation presents a challenge to the plastic surgeon. Treatment of capsular contracture with the leukotriene antagonist zafirlukast (Accolate, AstraZeneca, Wayne, PA) has received much attention in the media; however, there is limited proof of its effectiveness. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to prospectively exa...

Acute ischemic stroke therapy emphasizes early arterial clot lysis or removal. Partial aortic occlusion has recently emerged as an alternative hemodynamic approach to augment cerebral perfusion in acute ischemic stroke. The exact mechanism of cerebral flow augmentation with partial aortic occlusion remains unclear and may involve more than simple diversion of arterial blood flow from the lower ...

Blood leukocytes from cattle with bovine ocular squamous cell carcinoma (BOSCC) react with extracts of BOSCC, and blood leukocytes from cattle with cutaneous papillomas react with extracts of papillomas in the erythrocyte rosette (E-rosette) augmentation test. Sera from cattle with BOSCC, with cutaneous papillomas, and with ocular papillomas and sera from lesion-free cattle were tested for thei...

Augmentation mammaplasty is frequently used to fill out the soft tissue envelope of the breast. This is most successful with minimal skin laxity or when there is no need for significant nipple movement. The addition of a periareolar mastopexy can reduce the skin envelope; however, its value is limited to those with no more than mild second-degree ptosis. Although this is a valuable technique, t...
