Squamous cell carcinoma following breast augmentation.

Controversy over the safety of breast implants has increased significantly over the past several years. Several companies have discontinued their manufacture of silicone implants. Although there have been reports of breast cancer developing in a patient who previously had undergone breast augmentation, a review of the literature has failed to reveal a patient with cancer arising from the breast implant capsule. We present a woman with squamous cell carcinoma apparently arising from an implant capsule 15 years after breast augmentation.

Vascular tumors: 30-year inventory.

The author discusses the problems in treating noninvoluting hemangiomas, especially with embolization with superselective angiography combined with surgery. A long-term evolution of these surgically treated cases revealed many unhappy patients with numerous psychosocial problems including difficulty coping with the outside world.

Quantitation of thermoregulatory impairment in patients with healed burns.

The basis of our study lies in the clear demonstration that rectal temperature in cool and comfortable environments is a function of the metabolic load but that once a critical level of environmental warmth has been exceeded, the rectal temperature increases above the metabolically controlled level. This effect forms the basis of the presently suggested limits for healthy individuals during heat exposure in industry. We show that impairment of thermoregulation due to extensive burns makes such environmental limits unacceptable. Our experiment was aimed at demonstrating certain tolerance limits above which the extensively burned patient (40% deep second- or third-degree burns) cannot realistically be expected to function under the workload employed. Nine subjects with varying degrees of anhidrosis were subjected to standard workloads under carefully controlled environmental conditions. We found a dramatic diminution in heat tolerance in patients with healed burns covering more than 40% of their body surface area.
