| | Doctor-Patient Talks Affect Use of Breast Reconstruction Surgery | | 2008-04-12 01:38:00 | | (HealthDay News) -- A lack of patient-doctor discussion may contribute to socioeconomic, age and race-related disparities in the use of breast reconstruction after mastectomy, says a study by researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.The study also found that breast reconstruction was more likely to occur after a surgeon discussed options with a patient, which suggests the need to increase and improve these conversations, the researchers said.They analyzed data on 626 patients who underwent mastectomy for breast cancer. Of those patients, 253 (40.4 percent) received breast reconstruction, and 249 (39.8 percent) had a documented discussion about the option with a doctor.About 70 percent of those who had a discussion about breast reconstruction had the procedure. But the researchers found that increasing age and lower levels of education were associated with lower rates of a documented discussion.

| | Breast Reconstruction Surgery Via DIEP Flap Method: | | 2008-03-27 06:44:00 | | Sufficient abdominal fat is the main requirement for a patient to have a reconstructive breast surgery using the DIEP flap method. The deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) is the main blood vessel instrumental in this type of breast surgery.Due to the procedures involved, DIEP flap breast reconstruction surgery also involves a tummy tuck surgery. Skin, blood vessels and fat from the lower abdominal area is harvested and transplanted in the breast tissue, resulting in a reduction in the tummy size.The perforators occurring in the muscles in the abdomen are removed and connected with those in the breast area. The muscles are left undisturbed and intact, and are allowed to preserve their strength. Classified as a microsurgery (due to the use of microscopes), DIEP flap breast reconstruction surgery takes plastic surgeons a longer time to perform than a TRAM flap surgery. A minimum of 8 hours is the normal time if reconstruction of both the breasts is involved.Plastic surgeons at | | By: Breast Surgery Orange County | | |

| | Nipple Reconstruction – An Overview: | | 2008-02-29 02:05:00 | | Most women feel completely restored from a breast reconstruction only after a nipple reconstruction. Doctors perform this procedure as a final step in reconstructive breast surgery mainly because the reconstructed nipple cannot be shifted later. Surgeons make use of an assortment of techniques to reconstruct nipples. Intra-dermal tattooing, flaps using local tissue and skin or cartilage grafting are some of these techniques. Plastic surgeons suggest delaying nipple reconstruction till the body has adjusted to the reconstructed breast. A common complaint of nipple reconstruction is the decrease in projection and flattening of the nipple over time. This causes some people to go in for secondary procedures at times. There are non-surgical nipple options available for patients as well with nipple prostheses that can be custom-made. Such nipple prostheses are created in a mould to match the nipple of the other breast and can be stuck on the reconstructed breast. The prostheses are made o | | By: Breast Surgery Orange County | | |
| | Techniques Of Breast Reconstruction: | | 2008-02-29 02:04:00 | | A breast reconstruction surgery is performed using one of three main techniques: m Breast implants m Tissue expansion m Tissue reconstruction Due to the complexity of the procedure neither of the breast reconstruction techniques related above can be completed in one operation. The main influencing factors for breast reconstruction involve the amount of breast tissue that has been removed during the mastectomy, the body size and the personal preferences of the patient. Women who are heavy smokers, diabetics, obese and/or have had radiotherapy are completely unsuitable for a plastic surgery procedure like breast reconstruction. After a screening procedure, the plastic surgeon determines the breast reconstruction technique that is suitable for the patient. While breast implants are preferred by most women due to the comparatively short procedure, tissue expansion is recommended by most plastic surgeons. It involves inserting an implant in the pectoral muscle which has | | By: Breast Surgery Orange County | | |

| | The Cleft Lip Reconstruction Surgery: | | 2008-01-27 23:42:00 | | According to Dr. Subodh Singh the best time for a cleft lip surgery that will result in no scars is three to six months from the birth of the infant. This Indian surgeon should know, after all he has been honored with the ‘Smile Train Hero Award’ for performing the highest number of free cleft surgeries in the world on Indian children. The cleft lip or harelip is a deformity that stems from unusual facial development during the period when the fetus is developing in the womb (usually the first six to eight weeks of pregnancy). A cleft palate is known to accompany this condition at most times. There are plastic surgeons who can correct these two conditions in infants and adults (subject to severity of the condition), but they are usually part of a team of several surgeons who are collectively referred to as a cleft palate team or craniofacial team. The cleft palate team typically is made up of a plastic surgeon, a pediatrician, a dentist, a speech and language speciali | | By: Plastic Surgery Institute Of California | | |
| | Washington Street Bridge Reconstruction | | 2007-11-08 12:13:00 | | (Picture Courtesy of the Post-Journal)Think about the Washington Street Bridge in Jamestown. Can you see it in your mind? It's that aging structure that connects the downtown area to the south side of town. Not the prettiest looking thing, but it's one of the few ways tractor-trailers can get to that side of town.The good news is that the New York State Department of Transportation is going to replace the bridge.The bad news is that after reading the proposed plan and getting some additional information about the proposed design of the bridge, the end result is that it's not pretty. The state apparently went with the cheapest design and not with what aesthetically would fit the area.Think about where the columns are on the bridge now and imagine that as a solid wall from the top of the bridge to the ground. This wall would be about 3 stories high in spots and have openings for Harrison Street, the Chadakoin River, the rail road, and a set-back for the River Walk that's being | | By: In Java, Literally... | | |

Balykshi director Paul Roberts said the EBRD loan and equity pact puts right three years of planning, design and project financing work aimed at providing “an unparalleled range of services to the oil industry exploring the massive reserves of the Kazakhstan sector of the North Caspian Sea”. “The base is an environmental milestone in the region, designed to provide a clean, efficient ship to shore transfer of fuel, sewage, waste, goods, inter alia mitigating the handling exposure,” Roberts said.Via: OiLGas24 Advertise on The ENERGY DATA WAREHOUSEwww.BajaeNergyBLOG | | By: energy BLOG | | |
| | Help For One With A Fabric Knowledge Deficit Or Restyling & Reconstruction, Part 2 | | 2006-12-14 14:13:00 | | Whew, now that's an awkward post title if I ever wrote one! I'm actually showcasing a new addition to my suit category - a wonderful 1960s/70s vintage, 2 piece skirt ensemble. It's constructed totally from an antique paisley shawl, wool I believe and an extraordinary find. This is one of those garments you can't stop looking at. The lush, exotic pattern and the rich colors of the fabric just grab your eye.I've had it tucked away for a bit of time. I couldn't exactly identify the fabric. I knew it was wool (via the burn test, if it smells like singed hair then you've got an organic material) and I knew certainly that it wasn't made in the U.S. I was guessing India, Turkey, Middle East. etc. I even took it to a local fabric retailer, to no avail. It didn't occur to me that it might have been a shawl, though it should have. But thanks to the folks at the Needle Arts & Textiles Board at eBay and their propensity to generously disperse their wisdom to anybody who shows up with a question, I believe it's correctly identified. I'm not a regular poster (I'm a true novice when it comes to fabric identification) but I've popped in a couple of times with a query and always got a prompt & kind response. It seems to be a genial, civilized board with tons of good info. Not something that can be said of all public boards or forums.This set also ties in with my previous post about vintage restyling - to my eye if your going to hack up an antique textile you may as well make it into something classy, eternally stylish and immensely attractive. | | By: Mystique Vintage Clothing Blog | | |
