BACKGROUND Polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAAG) injection for breast augmentation can result in a variety of complications, including implant migration. The migrated PAAG can become colonized by pathogens, resulting in secondary infections which can be extremely difficult to treat. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 43-year-old female patient who underwent PAAG injection for breast augmentation. I...

The purpose of this report was to study the role of T lymphocytes following injection of Porphyromonas gingivalis in a mouse abscess model. Three invasive P. gingivalis isolates (ATCC 53977, W83, and AJW4) were injected into athymic BALB/c mice and their heterozygous (nu/+) littermates. The athymic BALB/c (nu/nu) mice were able to localize the invasive P. gingivalis isolates at the injection si...

The generation and development of muscle cells in the IVth hindlimb lumbrical muscle of the rat was studied following total or partial denervation. Denervation was carried out by injection of beta-bungarotoxin (beta-BTX), a neurotoxin which binds to and destroys peripheral nerves. Primary myotubes were generated in denervated muscles and reached their normal stable number on embryonic day 17 (E...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of aflibercept (as second line therapy) on the clinical outcome in patients with chronic macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) insufficiently responding to prior treatment with bevacizumab and/or ranibizumab. METHODS Ten eyes of ten patients (n = 10) with chronic macular edema secondary to BRVO were included in a retrospective analysis....

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Stroke following the intravenous injection of drugs may be secondary to the direct effect of the substance itself or from embolization by the inert vehicle used in the manufacturing process of the drug. CASE DESCRIPTION We describe a 39-year-old man who developed a left homonymous hemianopia after intravenous injection of a melted suppository. CONCLUSIONS Paradoxical ...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effects and safety of intravitreal injections of autologous plasmin enzyme (APE), without vitrectomy, as a treatment for macular edema secondary to branch retinal vein occlusion. DESIGN Prospective, comparative, interventional case series. METHODS Patients were recruited and enrolled consecutively from February 1 through October 31, 2008, at the Retina Unit of the...
