Breast silicone implants: the issues of post-surgery complications

Abstract

The issue of breast silicone implants reliability is getting widely dis­cussed in the world. The article presents the results of an anonymous survey of more than three hundred women with a of mammoplasty in medical histo­ry. We analyzed whether post-surgery complications depend on age, surgical access, and the manufacturer of the prosthesis. The study showed that age and surgical access are not associated with the occurrence of complications. Com­monly known breast silicone implants are produced by Allergan and Mentor. Among the implant-related complications, capsular contracture was the most frequent, and half of all complications occur in the early post-surgery period.

The role of microbiota in the pathophysiological mechanisms of the formation of allergic rhinitis: a review

Abstract

The review focuses on modern views on the etiopathogenesis of allergic rhinitis and the development of its complications. The microbial communities of the symbiotic population in the human body (microbiota) and their contri­bution to the immunobiological reactivity of the body are considered. The au­thors give a comparative characteristic of microbiota assessment methods. The data analysis suggests that microbiota can participate in the pathophysiologi­cal formation mechanisms of chronic allergic rhinitis and its complications.
