[Guest guest]

Hello Sweet Lea ~

I am looking all this up on Science direct......they

are a collection of articles you pay for, so I only

have the abstracts from them. There are so many

that dont have abstracts, so I cannot get them.

But the truth needs to be known and out there,

and made public on a regular basis, over and over

til it gets into everyones head how dangerous

they are ! !

I am being a good girl today.......

Yes, Superman is right, please be careful......

on what you say....i am also gagged, but it was

a long time ago....I have been choking since.....

Love you so ~ Me**************New MapQuest Local shows what's happening at your destination. Dining, Movies, Events, News & more. Try it out! (http://local.mapquest.com/?ncid=emlcntnew00000001)

My Darling Dede:

Thank you for all of this great information. Please do not do too much, because you need your rest. I have some deadly documents too; however, they could be watching me. I have been so vocal the last month, that has to ask me to be quiet.

We could win this war, but we need more troops....love you so....Lea

Infection in breast implants

Infection in breast implantsThe Lancet Infectious Diseases, Volume 5, Issue 2, February 2005, Pages 94-106Brigitte Pittet, Denys Montandon, Didier Pittet Preview Purchase PDF (771 K) | Related ArticlesSummaryInfection is the leading cause of morbidity that occurs after breast implantation and complicates 2·0–2·5% of interventions in most case series. Two-thirds of infections develop within the acute post-operative period, whereas some infections may develop years or even decades after surgery. Infection rates are higher after breast reconstruction and subsequent implantation than after breast augmentation. Risk factors for infection associated with breast implantation have not been carefully assessed in prospective studies with long-term follow-up. Surgical technique and the patient's underlying condition are the most important determinants. In particular, breast reconstruction after mastectomy and radiotherapy for cancer is associated with a higher risk for infection. The origin of infection in women with implants remains difficult to determine, but potential sources include a contaminated implant, contaminated saline, the surgery itself or the surgical environment, the patient's skin or mammary ducts, or, as suggested by many reports, seeding of the implant from remote infection sites. Late infection usually results from secondary bacteraemia or an invasive procedure at a location other than breasts. Diagnostic and management strategies are proposed and the value of peri-operative surgical prophylaxis is revisited. The current hypothesis of the possible role of low-grade or subclinical infection in the origin of capsular contracture is also reviewed.Article OutlineHistoric overview of breast augmentation Microbiology of the breast Breast implants Complications of breast augmentation Incidence of infection Risk factors for infection Clinical features Acute infection Late infection Diagnosis and management Capsular contracture and silicone granuloma Prophylactic antibiotics Conclusions Search strategy and selection criteria Acknowledgements ReferencesScienceDirect - Articles Related Silicone breast implants: Immunotoxic and epidemiologic issues Delayed silicone breast implant infection with Mycobacterium avium-intracellulareAesthetic Surgery Journal, Volume 27, Issue 2, March-April 2007, Pages 167-171Garrett A.
