Breast Lift Procedure
A mastopexy or breast lift is a surgical procedure performed to reshape the breast and return it to a more youthful position. Drooping of the breast may occur after pregnancy as well as aging. Frequently a breast implant may be used in conjunction with a breast lift in order to achieve better results. Depending on the amount of breast lifting that needs to be accomplished, different techniques may be used that involve different incisions. Generally, the more lifting that is required, the larger the incision (and therefore the scar).

- Alvine Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company focused on the treatment of autoimmune and gastrointestinal diseases, announced that the first study subject was dosed in a Phase 1 clinical trial of its lead clinical candidate ALV003 which is in development for the treatment of patients with celiac disease.
- The Archives of Internal Medicine has featured a study to determine if an anticholinergic risk scale (ARS) could be used to predict the risk of anticholinergic adverse effects in a geriatric evaluation and management (GEM) cohort and in a primary care cohort.
Researchers evaluated the medical records of 132 GEM patients retrospectively for medications included on the ARS and their resultant possible anticholinergic adverse effects. Additionally, 117 patients in primary care were prospectively enrolled, and the relationship between the ARS score and the risk of anticholinergic adverse effects was assessed using Poisson regression analysis.
According to the researchers, higher ARS scores were associated with increased risk of anticholinergic adverse effects in the GEM cohort (crude relative risk [RR], 1.5; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.3-1.8) and in the primary care cohort (crude RR, 1.9; 95% CI, 1.5-2.4).
Additionally, after adjustment for age and the number of medications, higher ARS scores increased the risk of anticholinergic adverse effects in the GEM cohort (adjusted RR, 1.3; 95% CI, 1.1-1.6; c statistic, 0.74) and in the primary care cohort (adjusted RR, 1.9; 95% CI, 1.5-2.5; c statistic, 0.77).
This paper provides a table of the anticholinergic risk scale (ARS) which provides scores (ranging from 1 to 3, with 1 being low risk of aticholinergic effects e.g. with paroxetine, and 3 implying high risk, such as those observed with amitriptyline) for various drugs and their likelihood to cause an anticholinergic adverse effect. (Anticholinergic adverse effects included falls, dry mouth, dry eyes, dizziness, confusion, and constipation.)
