PURPOSE To describe various types of anterior capsular tears and an early diagnostic, flap motility, as a sign of posterior capsular rupture following posterior extension of radial tears. DESIGN This was a prospective study carried out in 4,331 eyes that underwent phacoemulsification in a private practice setting from April 2015 to February 2016. Twenty six consecutive cases of anterior capsu...

BACKGROUND Changes in serotype prevalence among pneumococcal populations result from both serotype replacement and serotype (capsular) switching. Temporal changes in serotype distributions are well documented, but the contribution of capsular switching to such changes is unknown. Furthermore, it is unclear to what extent vaccine-induced selective pressures drive capsular switching. METHODS Se...

BACKGROUND Although there are a few broadly agreed on contributory factors, the multifaceted causes of capsular contracture have remained unresolved for decades. This study investigates a variety of potential risk factors that contribute to capsular contracture in primary augmentation patients. METHODS The data used for this analysis include 5109 implants in 2560 primary augmentation patients...

BACKGROUND Subclinical infections, manifest as biofilms, are considered an important cause of capsular contracture. Acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) are frequently used in revision surgery to prevent recurrent capsular contractures. OBJECTIVE We sought to identify an association between capsular contracture and biofilm formation on breast prostheses, capsules, and ADMs in a tissue expander/im...

BACKGROUND Increase in hip intra-capsular pressure has been implicated in various hip pathologies, such as avascular necrosis complicating undisplaced femoral neck fracture. Our study aimed at documenting the relationship between intra-capsular volume and pressure in various hip positions. METHODS Fifty-two cadaveric hips were studied. An electronic pressure-monitoring catheter recorded the i...

Monoclonal antibodies to the capsular polysaccharide of Cryptococcus neoformans produce distinct capsular reactions and have biological activities that are determined by serotype specificity. In the present study, polyclonal rabbit anticapsular antibodies were cross-absorbed to produce serotype specificities similar to those of monoclonal antibodies. The results showed that polyclonal and monoc...

La mamoplastia de aumento consiste en insertar una prótesis dentro del tejido mamario con el fin alterar su tamaño y forma. Actualmente, se utilizan varios tipos implantes según forma, material, así como diferentes variaciones la técnica quirúrgica. Se han descrito complicaciones asociadas por ser considerados cuerpos extraños más común es contractura capsular. presenta caso paciente 41 años a ...

Objective — To investigate the effect of phacoemulsification cataract extraction in patients with moderate or severe lens subluxation scleral fixed capsular tension ring implantation. Methods A total 43 (47 eyes) (scope dislocation exceeds 120 degrees) underwent aspiration our hospital from November 2018 to May 2019. During intraoperative injection/aspiration cortex, was put into capsule, and t...
