Disease relevance of Breast Implants

 

High impact information on Breast Implants

  • Are they real? IOM report on breast implant problems. Institute of Medicine [6].
  • In contrast, only one (0.3%) of 286 new patients with rheumatoid arthritis who were seen during the same interval had had a breast implant [7].
  • PARTICIPANTS: 307 of the 875 women in the Postmenopausal Estrogen/Progestin Interventions Trial. Participants had a baseline mammogram and at least one follow-up mammogram available, adhered to treatment, had not taken estrogen for at least 5 years before baseline, and did not have breast implants [8].
  • Human immune response to polydimethylsiloxane (silicone): screening studies in a breast implant population [9].
  • Among women with silicone breast implants, 13 subsequently developed a neurologic disorder compared with 7.7 expected; whereas in the comparison group, 63 observed versus 39.1 expected disorders were recorded [10].
