Effects of post-hypnotic suggestions on muscular endurance.

This study examined the effects of post-hypnotic suggestions upon maximal endurance capacity, Borg ratings of perceived exertion, and heart rate. Experimental subjects were administered post-hypnotic suggestions to improve or decrease performance, and control subjects were given similar instructions during the awake state. Endurance time could be decreased significantly when the fatigue suggestion was given to experimental subjects, but performance could not be enhanced with the facilitating suggestion. Control subjects showed no significant changes across conditions. The Borg ratings indicated that experimental subjects experienced subjective changes as suggested by the hypnotist. In addition, analysis failed to find any significant differences for the heart-rate data.

Evolution of the vertical scar in Lejour's mastoplasty technique.

This paper presents a series of 54 consecutive cases of vertical mastoplasty carried out over the period February 1994 to April 1995. In 30 cases breast reduction was performed, in 19 pure mastopexy, and in the remaining 5, a mastopexy-breast augmentation with a silicon gel prosthesis was carried out. The parameters used for analyzing the persistence of vertical scarring were: inframammary cutaneous folds, wrinkling of the skin, and puckering at 1, 3, and 6 months during the postoperative period. An attempt has been made to establish how the vertical scar has evolved over this period. The study done by age groups as well as the study of the breast's cutaneo-glandular characteristics provides data as to with which morphotype and worst results were obtained.
