Does extracellular matrix regenerative graft attenuate the negative impact of polypropylene prolapse mesh on vagina in rhesus macaque?
Mesh augmentation with a regenerative extracellular matrix graft attenuated the negative impact of polypropylene mesh on the vagina. Application of the extracellular matrix graft alone had no measurable negative effects suggesting that the benefits of this extracellular matrix graft occur when used without a permanent material. Future studies will focus on understanding mechanisms.
Obese children without comorbidities have significantly impaired microvascular endothelial function. The children who had been obese for a longer time seemed less affected.
