Plasticizers01:31

Plasticizers

352
Water-reducers, or plasticizers, are chemical admixtures used in concrete to improve strength and workability. These additives reduce the water-cement ratio without compromising workability, lower the cement content while maintaining the same workability, or increase workability to assist concrete placement in inaccessible areas.
Plasticizers function by using surface-active agents to create repulsive electrostatic forces between cement particles. This dispersion enhances the concrete's...

Plasticity00:58

Plasticity

3.0K
Plasticity is the property where an object loses its elasticity and undergoes irreversible deformation, even after the deformation forces are eliminated. If a material deforms irreversibly without increasing stress or load, then this is called ideal plasticity. For example, when a force is applied to an aluminum rod, it changes its shape, but it does not return to its original shape once the force is removed. Plastic deformation or ductility is thus a permanent deformation or change in the...

Plastic Behavior

531
A material's elastic behavior is characterized by the disappearance of stress once the load is removed, allowing the material to return to its original state. However, when stress surpasses the yield point, yielding commences, marking the onset of plastic deformation or permanent set. This change from elastic to plastic behavior is influenced by the peak stress value and the duration before the load is removed. An intriguing observation occurs when a specimen is loaded, unloaded, and...

Plastic Deformations

412
It is essential to understand how structural members behave under plastic deformation when the bending stress exceeds the material's yield strength. This state of deformation permanently alters the shape of the member, in contrast to the linear elastic behavior observed before yielding. The strain at any point in the member is expressed in terms of maximum strain. Notably, the neutral axis, which coincides with the centroid during elastic bending, shifts away from the centroid under plastic...

Plastic Deformations

439
Plastic deformation represents a fundamental concept in materials science, which explains the irreversible change in the shape of a material when it experiences stress beyond its elastic capability. This phenomenon is important in structural engineering, especially in designing and analyzing cantilever beams—structures that are securely fixed at one end and bear loads at the opposite end. When these beams are subjected to loads within their elastic range, they will return to their...

Summary

Combining abdominoplasty with childbirth leads to high complication rates and poor aesthetic outcomes. Surgeons surveyed strongly advise against this practice until at least six months postpartum to ensure patient safety and results.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Obstetrics & Gynecology
  • Evidence-Based Medicine

Background:

  • Previous reports indicate significant complications and suboptimal aesthetic results from combined abdominoplasty and delivery procedures.
  • The safety and efficacy of performing plastic surgery concurrently with Cesarean section or vaginal delivery remain a concern.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the incidence of complications and aesthetic outcomes associated with combined abdominoplasty and delivery procedures.
  • To gather insights from plastic surgeons regarding their experiences and recommendations on this combined surgical approach.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was conducted among 61 plastic surgeons who had performed a total of 808 combined abdominoplasty and delivery procedures.
  • Data collected included the type of delivery, specific plastic surgery techniques used, and reported complications and aesthetic defects.

Main Results:

  • High complication rates were observed, including seroma (31.57%), thrombosis (26.23%), and infection (21.03%).
  • Aesthetic issues such as redundant skin (41.66%) and unaesthetic scars (36.11%) were frequently reported.
  • Three deaths (0.4%) occurred due to thrombosis, and 90.16% of surgeons decided to discontinue the practice.

Conclusions:

  • The combination of abdominoplasty with Cesarean section or vaginal delivery is associated with a high incidence of serious complications and poor aesthetic results.
  • It is strongly recommended to avoid performing abdominoplasty concurrently with delivery, advising patients to wait until at least six months postpartum.
