NT-proBNP is a reliable predictor of death risk independently of the effect of dialysis modality on fluid volume control, and the presence of other clinical and biochemical markers recognized as risk factors for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. NT-pro-BNP is a good predictor of mortality independently of fluid volume overload and dialysis modality.
A case in which a growing and painful mass developed in the breast 10 months after fat injection following trochanteric and abdominal liposuction is described. Treatment included lumpectomy and breast reconstruction in a second stage by bilateral subpectoral augmentation mammaplasty with textured gel-filled prostheses. Histologic examination revealed a liponecrotic pseudocyst. The development of pseudocysts and microcalcifications after breast autologous fat injection is a complication that warns against using this technique for breast augmentation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
