Post-Radiation Capsular Contracture in Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction – Management and Outcome.
Background: Implant based breast reconstruction (IBR) is commonly avoided in the setting of radiation therapy, mainly due to risks of capsular contracture (CC). Nevertheless, as breast reconstruction is becoming more available, more patients receive both IBR and radiotherapy. The dilemma is how to manage CC if it does occur? The goal of this study was to examine the outcome of patients with IBR who developed post-radiation CC and treated with capsulotomy or capsulectomy, with or without fat...

Polyamines are known to mediate diverse biological processes, and specifically to bind and stabilize compact conformations of nucleic acids, acting as chemical chaperones that promote folding by offsetting the repulsive negative charges of the phosphodiester backbone. However, whether and how polyamines modulate the structure and function of proteins remains unclear. Further, early proteins are thought to have been highly acidic, like nucleic acids, due to a scarcity of basic amino acids in the prebiotic...
