Although, at present, it is generally assumed that lowering the metabolism of grafts by reducing their temperature may be of some utility for enhancing their survival rate, our data indicate of that there are no effects when performing hair transplantation surgery.

In our opinion, a "metabolic preconditioning" of micrografts by means of storing them for 5 hours in the described medium may be of some utility in augmenting the survival rate of hair grafts when performing hair transplantation surgery.

A technique for the correction of excessively thick lips caused by injections of allogeneic substances is presented in this article. In most cases, surgical removal is the best possible solution to this problem because the materials mentioned above completely blend with the surrounding tissues. Twenty-four patients underwent surgical lip-volume reduction. The results were satisfactory in all of the patients.

SUMMARYA space-time finite element procedure is presented that integrates on time the equations of nonlinear dynamics. When a shock occurs and subsequently propagates, the space-time procedure gives accurate and stable numerical results, without after-shock wiggling, at relatively low costs of computation.The procedure is implicit. The good performance is to be attributed to the capability of the space-time elements to cope with discontinuities in the velocity by the simple use of reduced numerical integration.The numerical solution of the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam problem is discussed.
