Histologic Analysis of Zafirlukast's Effect on Capsule Formation Around Silicone Implants: Some Considerations

We have read with profound interest the article by Bastos and colleagues entitled Histologic Analysis of Zafirlukast’s Effect on Capsule Formation Around Silicone Implants.

Developing a Strategic Tourism Plan for the City of Beacon

The City of Beacon is a small post-industrial city along the Hudson River. The local economy is reliant on tourism, as Beacon has become one of the most popular weekend trips for New York City residents and is one of the most frequented destinations along the Metro North Hudson Line.
