Kaufman HL, Swartout BG, Horig H, Lubensky I. Combination interleukin-2
Interleukin 2 (IL-2) and interleukin 12 (IL-12) have potent anti-tumour activity as single agent therapy against several different murine and human tumours. Combining these cytokines may result in improved therapeutic effectiveness, however, the toxicity associated with simultaneous administration is prohibitive. This study was designed to determine the specific histopathologic changes associated with combination therapy. Mice… [Read More]

Typical reductive rhinoplasty techniques are not effective in managing the characteristic anatomy of the Asian patient. Asian patients also tend to have weak lower lateral cartilages with thick sebaceous skin over the nasal tip, leading to a blunting of the… [Read More]
Swartout BG, Toriumi DM. Rhinoplasty. Current Opinion in Otolaryngology
Rhinoplasty is the most challenging procedure in all of facial plastic surgery and it has undergone significant changes in the past 25 years.
