The augmentation-reduction mammaplasty.

The authors have presented a technique of augmentation mammaplasty with simultaneous treatment of glandular ptosis. They recommend this double procedure-one operation surgery for those with small and ptotic breasts, where treatment by a single procedure would not suffice to give an esthetically proportioned breast. This technique is simple, should pose no circulatory problems to the involved flaps, offers a short hospital stay and a fast recovery, and avoids two separate procedures.

Evaluation of ibuprofen (Motrin). A new antirheumatic agent.

Ibuprofen is a new, mild analgesic agent that may be useful in the symptomatic treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Results of clinical studies have shown that its beneficial effects in these conditions are comparable, but not superior, to those of aspirin. However, at recommended doses it has less anti-inflammatory effect than aspirin. Its usefulness as an analgesic in the treatment of other types of pain and as an antipyretic has not yet been established. Ibuprofen causes fewer adverse effects on the gastrointestinal system, including occult bleeding, than aspirin. Serious adverse reactions have not been reported. Thus, ibuprofen may be acceptable for use in patients who cannot tolerate aspirin or other antirheumatic drugs.

Facial scars resulting from vehicular accidents.

The surgeon will be better able to cope with the problem of scars as he understands the nature of wound healing and as advances are made in the knowledge of the physiology and biochemistry of tissues. Still there do remain the all-important careful handling of tissues, adequate wound repair, and adequate postoperative care of the wound and the patient.
