Liposelection is the latest kind of liposuction procedure. This is an ultrasonic process. In the procedure of liposelection treatment, ultrasonic energy is used as a method to remove fats. The ultrasound vibes breaks up the fats to make it liquidified and then remove the unwanted fats. The liposelection process is much safer as the liposelection experts aims on the fat tissues only leaving the surrounding tissues. As a result the surrounding nerves, blood vessels, and tissue virtually unharmed. Before the treatment, you will have a local anesthesia. If you want you can have general anesthesia as well.

After the sedative is applied on the patient undergoing liposelection treatment, the surgeon will fill the area to be treated with a saline solution. With the effective solutions the tissues of the area to be treated get numb and blood vessels are shrunk. With this you suffer least possible pain. You will not also have to suffer the after surgery bruises and swelling unlike other methods of its kind.
Then A small high frequency sound is passed through the affected area to break up fat on contact causing less or no harm to the surrounding tissues. Fats are now extracted in the liposuction tubes to reshape your body.

No doubt liposelection treatment is a safe process. But the professional has restricted the patients to a certain limit that must be followed to keep a healthy body. You can remove fats from the areas like arms, chin, neck, and inner thighs with complete safety. The other functional areas of the treatment includes abdomen, thighs, buttocks, knees, hips, back, male breasts, and love handles. Be 100% sure that you will get your shape back in place and admirers too. No bruise will harm your beauty. Go ahead. Discover a new self in you without causing you pains.

Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Survival Rate

Filed under: Medical Center — admin at 1:10 am on Saturday, April 26, 2008

Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma is a lethal cancer that starts in the lining of the lungs. The main cause is believed to be unprotected contact with asbestos. Every year about 3000 new cases of this disease are reported in the United States. It is estimated that over the past fifty years nearly eight million people have been exposed to asbestos and that 300,000 new cases would be reported by the year 2030. The peak may be around 2020 and thereafter the incidence is likely to taper down because of the preventive measures that are being taken.

Like in all cases of cancer, early detection and appropriate treatment improve the survival rate. On both counts the pleural mesothelioma patients are at a disadvantage. Symptoms take anywhere between 20 to 50 years to manifest. Because of this, the patients are generally in the fifty plus age group. And the outwardly noticed indications of the sickness are similar to that of several lesser ailments. This makes the diagnosis difficult. Because of all these, by the time the problem is detected, the cancer is likely to have spread. As yet there is no fully effective line of treatment. It is generally accepted that a combination therapy is better than monotherapy. A great deal of research is being done in this area.

A number of studies have been made about the survival rate among pleural mesothelioma patients. They all come to the same conclusion - the disease is almost always fatal. The lifespan of a person diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma is about six months to two years. There have been exceptions and their stories are inspiring. The life expectancy varies according to the stage (pleural mesothelioma has four different phases) and the type. One research based on the histologic (tissue structure)tests shows a median survival of 11 months - 9.4 months for sarcomatous, 12.5 months for epithelial and 11 months for mixed.

Several inspirational books are available for the patient to read and fortify himself. Also helpful are chat rooms with others in the same condition.

The method know as three dimensional ultrasound is used in early pregnancy, it provides 3d images of the fetus. Most of the time these pictures are collected and joined together to created a “4d ultrasound”.

Three dimensional scanning works similarly to the usual ultrasound methods except that the ultrasound scanning pulses can be sent from many directions. The ultrasound pulses are reflected back then captured to provide info to construct a 3d picture in much the same way as 3d pictures. 3d ultasound scanning was started by stephen smith and olaf von ramm at duke university.

It is important to understand that sonologists all over the world always pictured 3d pictures of anatomy or pathology in their minds whilst doing 2d scans. However, until recently it was very difficult to do this kind of reconstruction on on info using ultasound scanning. With the introduction of baby scans for the first time allowed us a view into the thinking of a sonologist and hence letting us see the images on the ultrasound machine.

3d imaging should utilize ultrasound energy following the same limits as conventional 2d ultrasound to create the 3d images. There is no data to suggest any harm due to 3d ultasound scanning, its use in non-medical situations needs to be undertaken with the understanding that a risk may exist.

BMI: Between Meal Intrigue Hits the Highway

Filed under: Medical Center — admin at 10:19 am on Friday, April 18, 2008

If you’ve been pursuing a lighter, healthier version of yourself, it’s likely that you’ve heard of BMI, as in “Body Mass Index.” BMI is a guide by which we can measure where we “are” right now and gauge our improvement over time. Well we’re going to explore a different BMI… “Between Meal Intrigue”. Doesn’t that sound snackilicious?

This article was inspired by a suggestion from Marie Libby from somewhere in the great state of New Jersey. Marie shared her secret weapon in her own battle of the bulge.

Marie, like many of us, is always on the go. When we’re out and about, we are vulnerable. Surrounded by temptation and apart from our regular routine, an active person could find his or herself in the Wendy’s drive thru line without even remembering how we got there!

Most of us know that starvation is a poor diet choice. Just as when we don’t drink enough water and our body hoards H2O, our body hoards fat when we don’t eat. Ironically, it is
“eating” that fires up our metabolic furnace first thing in the morning.

So, we’ve established that skipping meals is not a smart idea. Given that, what do we do when we are away from home and unable to keep to our strict eating habits?

Marie provided a few suggestions and I must say that I completely concur. Here’s what she had to say:

“Whenever I’m on the go and I know I won’t be able to stop and eat a healthy meal, I prepare a cooler with the following items and pack it away in my car:

- an apple

- a baggie filled with a cup of Kashi (Good Friends) cereal with dietary fiber

- blueberries

- strawberries

- cantaloupe

- celery

- carrots

- and, of course, a couple bottles of water…

The Kashi makes a nice snack, I eat it dry right out of the bag. This helps me to avoid the fast-food drive thru or the junk food counter at the mini-mart.”

Marie may not have used those EXACT words, but they were pretty darn close.

Keeping to Marie’s plan will help you in two very important ways. First, and most obviously, by avoiding high fat, high calorie meals, you avoid gaining weight due to poor meal selection.

Secondly, by snacking on carefully chosen foods now, you will tend to eat less food and choose the right food at the next meal.

Notice the fact that Marie finished with the most important ingredient in her road warrior plot… bringing along water. When you are away from home or work, it is most difficult to drink plenty of water. Bringing along bottles of the life-giving liquid will help your body to continue to metabolize fat and keep you from gaining unnecessary water weight.

Being one who is often on the go doesn’t mean that you have to take several steps backward in your steady march toward your final goal. With just a little planning and a bit of will power, you can hit the road without missing a beat!

The method know as three dimensional ultrasound is used during early pregnancy, it provides 3d pictures of the unborn baby. Most of the time these pictures are collated and combined and animated to produce a 4d ultrasound scan.

Three dimensional scanning works in the same way to the usual ultrasound methods except that the ultrasound pulses can be sent from many directions. The ultrasound waves are reflected back and captured and provide information to construct a 3 d image in much the same way as 3d pictures. 3 dimesional ultasound scanning was started by stephen smith and olaf von ramm at duke university.

It is important to understand that sonologists all over the world have always conjured 3d pictures of the body in their minds while doing 2d scans. However, until recently it was impossible to do this type of reconstruction on on info using ultrasound. With the introduction of ultrasound baby scans for the first time allowed us a view into the thinking of a sonologist and hence letting us view the images on the ultrasound machine.

The 3d/4d ultrasound image should utilize ultrasound energy following the same limits as conventional 2d ultrasound to create the 3d images. While there is no information of harm due to 3d ultrasound, its use in none essential situations should be undertaken with an understanding of the risks involved.

The method know as 3d ultrasound scanning is used when a woman is in early pregnancy, providing 3 d pictures of the fetus. Most times the ultrasound pictures are rapidly captured and combined and animated to produce a 4d ultrasound scan.

Three dimensional scanning works in a similar way to the normal ultrasound methods except that the ultrasound pulses can be directed from multiple directions. The waves are reflected back and captured and provide information to construct a 3d image in in the same way as 3d movies. 3d ultrasound was devised in the usa.

It’s important to understand that sonologists around the world always pictured 3d images of the body in their minds whilst doing 2d scans. However, until recently it was very difficult to do this type of reconstruction on on patient information using ultrasound. The advent of 4d baby scans for the first time allowed us a peek into the mechanics of thinking of a sonologist and so allowing us see the images on the ultrasound machine.

The 3d/4d ultrasound image should utilize ultrasound energy following the same limits as conventional 2d ultrasound to create the 3d images. While there is no information of harm due to 3d ultasound scanning, its use in none medical situations should be undertaken with the understanding that a risk may exist.
