Intense pulsed light (IPL), also known as pulsed light and broad band light, is a nonlaser light source used to treat a variety of vascular and pigmented lesions, photo damage, active acne, and unwanted hair. Current IPL systems are much improved from older-generation devices with better calibration, integrated cooling, and improved tuning. These devices are extremely popular because of their versatility and are often the first devices recommended and purchased in many offices.
Techniques for the administration of injectable fillers and neuromodulators for facial aesthetic rejuvenation and enhancement continue to evolve. As the number of physicians with limited experience in providing aesthetic treatments expands, the need for guidance and training from more experienced injectors has become apparent. The use of a slow, careful, and methodical injection technique is imperative in all treatment settings and for all facial areas. Constant attention to local anatomy, particularly arteries, veins, and nerve bundles, is critical for minimizing complications. This first article of a three-part series addresses techniques and recommendations for aesthetic treatment of the upper face.
The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the clinical effectiveness of nanocrystalline silver compared to alternative silver delivery systems (silver sulphadiazine [SSD] and silver nitrate) in adults and children with superficial and deep partial thickness burns.
La pérdida de peso es frecuente en el paciente quemado y puede entorpecer el proceso de cicatrización y curación. En este trabajo, se registró el peso corporal de 28 pacientes durante 5 semanas de estancia en la Unidad de Quemados, Hospital Clínico Quirúrgico “Hermanos Ameijeiras” (La Habana, Cuba), entre Agosto del 2009 y Enero del 2013. La variación ocurrida en el peso corporal al final de cada semana de internamiento, se correlacionó con la edad del paciente y la SCQ, el Conteo Total de Linfocitos (CTL), la albúmina sérica y la ocurrencia de complicaciones (muerte incluida). Los datos fueron tratados según el principio de la “intención-de-tratar”, anticipando diferencias en los días de estancia en la Unidad.
Implant infections in the setting of breast reconstruction present a significant setback for patients with breast cancer. Traditional management of implant infections is predicated on the operative removal of the implant and delayed replacement. Another option for implant infection management has emerged in which the soft tissue infection is neutralized, the implant is removed, the surgical site is washed out, and a new implant replaced immediately. In this study, we present our findings with the implementation of this technique and an algorithm for choosing which patients are the most appropriate candidates on the basis of a retrospective review.
