BACKGROUND Autologous fat grafting evolved over the twentieth century to become a quick, safe, and reliable method for restoring volume. However, autologous fat grafts have some problems including uncertain viability of the grafted fat and a low rate of graft survival. To overcome the problems associated with autologous fat grafts, we used uncultured adipose tissue-derived stromal cell (stromal...

Introduction: The rejuvenation characteristics of fat tissue grafting has been established for many years. Recently it has been shown that stromal vascular fraction (SVF) of fat tissue contributes to its rejuvenation properties. As the SVF is a minimal processed cell population (based on FDA guidance), therefore it is a suitable cell therapy for skin rejuvenation. This clinical trial was aimed ...

nevus lipomatosus cutaneous superficialis is a rare idiopathic hamartomatous anomaly of the skin characterized by the presence of clusters of mature fat cells among the collagen bundles of the dermis. the classic, or solitary type, presents with asymptomatic soft, skin-colored to yellow papules or nodules. we report the case of a 12-year-old boy with congenital, classical nevus lipomatosus cuta...

In reports of clinical cases of leprosy one can read: ‘presence of papules and nodules or papulo-nodular lesions’. In a leprosy patient there can be present either papules or nodules but not these two elementary lesions together. It is reported in books of dermatology that: “papule is a solid elevated lesion up to 1 cm of diameter”. It is also reported: “papules are usually caused by an infiltr...

Background: The use of bromelain for the removal eschar in deep burns is considered to be effective because it does not affect unaffected skin and leaves a clean dermis after use. main objective this study find out whether good alternative surgical debridement. In order achieve that, we aim evaluate its indications, limitations, safety measures. Methods: current was conducted on group 30 patien...

By applying SVF, overcorrection was not needed in fat graft. Stem cell increases effect of tissue regeneration, which contributes to better outcomes of scar revision, flap surgery or skin graft. Furthermore, SVF harvesting requires liposuction and additional cosmetic effect can be expected. Favorable changes in scar scale indicate scar itself can also be improved when combined with conventional...

Introduction: Vocal fold lipoinjection (VFLI) has been used in glottal insufficiency rehabilitation, although with inconsistent results due to unpredictable fat resorption. Recent studies demonstrate that platelet-rich plasma (PRP), obtained from autologous venous blood, increases graft stability, stimulating the proliferation of adipose stem cells (ASC). Objective: The objective of this work i...

OBJECTIVE Clinical application of autologous fat grafting (AFG) is quickly expanding. Despite the widely acceptance, long-term survival rate (SR) of AFG remains a question not yet solved. Meanwhile, although rare, severe complications related to AFG including vision loss, stroke even death could be seen in the literature. DATA SOURCES A comprehensive research of PubMed database to June 2013 w...

BACKGROUND Animal models suggest that the neurotransmitter inhibitor, botulinum toxin, when injected into the epicardial fat pads can suppress atrial fibrillation inducibility. The aim of this prospective randomized double-blind study was to compare the efficacy and safety of botulinum toxin injection into epicardial fat pads for preventing atrial tachyarrhythmias. METHODS AND RESULTS Patient...
