The review analysed 58 studies comprising 1,249 patients who underwent cosmetic procedures abroad and later received treatment for a complication within their local healthcare system. Findings indicated that infection, implant-related complications and wound dehiscence are the most common problems reported following cosmetic surgery treatments both inside and outside of Europe.

“Complications after undergoing cosmetic surgery abroad represent a substantial treatment burden for healthcare systems,” the researchers wrote. “The available evidence supports recurring patterns in reported procedures, complications, microbiology and destinations.”

Orcas are hunting great White Sharks around the world, scientists confirm - Geo News

Orcas are hunting great White Sharks around the world, scientists confirmThe killing of great whites by orcas has been reported in the waters of South Africa, California, and Australia, and the implications that the hunting behaviour would have on the marine ecosystem have been considered. In fact, it all started back on May 3, 2017, when the body of a female great white, weighing 1,100 kilograms, washed ashore in Gansbaai, close to Cape Town, with a deep gash through which its 90-kilogram liver had been extracted. Five more corpses of great whites appeared with similar wounds in the coming months, as claimed by shark biologist Alison Towner of Rhodes University. Two adult males, called Port and Starboard, who are supposed to be brothers judging by their dorsal fins that fold differently, were identified as the most probable perpetrators. The connection was officially established in 2022 based on video footage of a drone that caught three orcas chasing and biting a 3-meter great white off Mossel Bay. The sharks quickly disappeared from Dyer Island, one of the best places in the world to witness a great white.
