Imprinting01:22

Imprinting

11.1K
Behavioral imprinting is observed in some newborn animals and occurs when they develop strong and specific attachments to another animal (usually a parent) following brief, early-life exposures. Offspring imprint onto parents within a brief period after birth or hatching; this time window is called the critical period. Once imprinting occurs, the bond established between the parents and their offspring is usually long-lasting.

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance02:30

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance

36.9K
Diploid organisms inherit genetic material through chromosomes from both parents. Copies of the same gene are known as alleles. In most cases, both alleles are simultaneously expressed and allow various cellular processes to function optimally. If one of the alleles is missing or mutated, the expression of the other allele can compensate; however, this is not true for all genes.
The expression of some genes depends on which parent passed the gene to the offspring, through a phenomenon known as...

Shape and Texture of Coarse Aggregate01:25

Shape and Texture of Coarse Aggregate

673
Aggregate shape is classified based on the relative sharpness or roundness of the edges and corners. This classification includes categories like rounded, angular, elongated, and flaky, each with specific characteristics. Rounded aggregates, fully shaped by attrition, are typical of river or seashore gravel, while angular aggregates, such as crushed rock, have well-defined edges. Aggregates that are elongated and flaky are less desirable, as they can reduce the workability and strength of...

Benefits of Self-Esteem01:25

Benefits of Self-Esteem

193
Self-esteem—an individual's overall evaluation of their worth—plays a complex role in psychological functioning and well-being. It is often associated with many positive traits, such as confidence, optimism, and perseverance. Individuals with high self-esteem typically experience better sleep, manage peer pressure more effectively, and report greater life satisfaction. Conversely, low self-esteem has been consistently linked with increased risks of depression, anxiety, and poor...

Characteristics of Life01:23

Characteristics of Life

257.4K
Biology is a natural science that studies life and living organisms, including their structure, function, development, interactions, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy. The field's scope is extensive and divided into several specialized disciplines, such as anatomy, physiology, ethology, genetics, and many more. All living things share a few key traits, including cellular organization, heritable genetic material and the ability to adapt/evolve, metabolism to regulate energy needs, the...

Finding the Center of Gravity01:03

Finding the Center of Gravity

4.3K
The center of gravity of a body is an imaginary point where the body's total weight is assumed to be concentrated, and the body is perfectly balanced. The center of the mass of a body is a point at which the whole of the mass of the body appears to be concentrated. If the acceleration due to gravity, g, has the same value at all points on a body, its center of gravity is identical to its center of mass. The center of gravity of homogeneous bodies such as a sphere, cube, or rectangular plate...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic surgery and biomedical engineering.
  • Focus on medical device surface characterization and clinical outcomes.

Background:

  • Textured breast implants have varied risk-benefit profiles based on surface topography.
  • Discussion continues regarding the relative safety and efficacy of different implant surfaces.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify device-specific information for Mentor's Siltex Textured breast implants.
  • Evaluate textured surface characteristics, ISO 14607 classification, and BIA-ALCL risk.
  • Assess risk-reduction benefits compared to smooth breast implants.

Main Methods:

  • Surface metrology was performed on Siltex textured implants.
  • Kaplan-Meier analysis of data from the MemoryGel Core Study (smooth vs. Siltex implants).
  • Evaluation focused on postoperative complications leading to reoperation in augmentation and reconstruction.

Main Results:

  • Siltex MemoryGel and MemoryShape implants showed average surface roughness of 29.5 and 36.1 µm.
  • Significantly lower reoperation rates over 10 years for Siltex vs. smooth implants: capsular contracture (4.21% vs 19.84%) and asymmetry (3.88% vs 11.1%).

Conclusions:

  • Siltex implants are classified as 'microtexture' under ISO 14607.
  • The risk of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is rare (0.0012%).
  • Siltex implants offer risk-reduction benefits for capsular contracture and asymmetry compared to smooth implants.
