There are many advantages of storing cord blood – both for the donors and to transplant recipients. Here are a few of these advantages:

• The collection of cord blood is simple and poses no medical risk to the baby or the mother. After birth, a medical staff member simply collects the blood from the delivered placenta and does not in any way interfere with care of the newborn of the mother.
• Because cord blood is collected in advance, it has already been frozen, tested and ready to use if a recipient needs it. Once the blood is collected, it is tested, frozen and stored, and its information is entered into a central database. If a match is ever found, the cord blood is ready to go and further testing usually only takes a few days prior to transplant. This process eliminates the need to locate a donor, such as in bone marrow transplants.

Cord blood transplants do not require a precise match like in the case of bone marrow transplants. Donor cord blood and recipients generally only require partial matches, whereas with bone marrow transplants, the grafts require an 8/8 match in most cases.

Dental implants were invented in 1952 by a Swedish orthopedic surgeon.

Dental implants today are the standard for teeth replacement. They are essentially a framing metal post that are surgically positioned in the jawbone, right beneath your gum line. These posts of sorts, allow your dentist to mount new replacement teeth. Most dental implants are made of titanium, this allows them to integrate with bone and be compatible with the body.

Technology and science have advanced so much in the last decade that dental implants are the norm. Today, the success rate for dental implants is close to 98%. They are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth and are designed to blend in with your other teeth. They are an excellent long-term option for restoring your smile

Dental implants are the most stable of artificial teeth.  Unlike dentures and bridges, that tend to slip or shift in your month, with implants they provide the necessary support. They look and feel more natural than your granddads false teeth plate

Bridges and dentures are a less expensive route, but are not as comfortable and sometimes it is not possible to have them, usually because of sore spots in your mouth, or bone structure, gums issues. Ordinary bridges must be attached to teeth on either side of the space left by the missing tooth. The advantage of implants is that no adjacent teeth need to be prepared or ground down to hold your new replacement tooth/teeth.

You will need to have healthy gums and bone to support the implant. You must keep these posts healthy. Oral hygiene and dental visits are critical to the success of implants.

Implants are usually more expensive than other methods of tooth replacement, and most insurance carriers typically cover less than 10 percent of the fees

There are two types of implants to be safe.

·       Endosteal implants — these are surgically implanted directly into the jawbone. Once the surrounding gum tissue has healed, a second surgery is needed to connect a post to the original implant. Finally, an artificial tooth (or teeth) is attached to the post-individually, or grouped on a bridge or denture.

·        

·       Subperiosteal implants — these consist of a metal frame that is fitted onto the jawbone just below the gum tissue. As the gums heal, the frame becomes fixed to the jawbone. Posts, which are attached to the frame, protrude through the gums. As with endosteal implants, artificial teeth are then mounted to the posts.

If dental implants is an option that you are considering, its time to discuss with your dentist. Generally, dental implant candidates should be in good general health. Health is more of a factor than one’s age. Your physician can medically evaluate you before any implant surgery. The biggest concern is the healing time after surgery, if you suffer from other illnesses this may interfere with the healing process, and of course tobacco will also slow the healing.

The Process of Coolsculpting, was created at the Massachusetts General Hospital. Coolsculpting is non-surgical process that uses a handheld device, that removes stubborn fat safely and effectively. There are no  needles, or surgery. This fat reduction treatment is the only FDA-cleared procedure. Cool Sculpting technology safely delivers controlled cooling to gently and effectively target the fat cells underneath the skin. The treated fat cells are crystallized essentially frozen and they die. Your body processes the fat naturally and eliminates these dead cells, leaving you with a new sculpted you. This treatment does not hurt muscle tissue or skin. The treatment is not a significant weight loss technique, but works wonders on the stubborn body areas that are impervious to exercise and diet.  The most common being inner thighs, stomach, abs, love handles, back, arms, neck and chin.

Coolsculpting is NON INVASIVE; Other procedures such as gastric bypass or liposuction, require a form of surgery. Cool Sculpting procedure can be done on your lunch break. During the procedure, you can read a magazine, have a nap, or even make calls. Because it’s noninvasive, there’s no recovery time, you can return to your normal activities.

The number one thing to look at when determining what clinic to use, is to ensure that the clinic is staffed with trained medical and nursing professionals. That SAFETY AND COMFORT is there top priorities.

LOOKING RESULTS, cool sculpting should be used as an aid in reducing fat and not a replacement for diet and exercise. With cool sculpting results are very gradual and natural looking. Usually about 20% of fat reduction with each visit.

BOOST OF CONFIDENCE, The entire cool sculpting experience can make you feel and look better. Feeling and looking better gives you a more positive outlook on life.

LONG LASTING RESULTS, With diet and exercise, fat cells reduce in size but remain in the body, and they come back. With this technique the fat cells are removed forever. So when you gain weight it is more evenly distributed thought your body, than in just your trouble areas.

Very FEW SIDE EFFECTS., 99% of all patients have had no pain. Some have, at the beginning of the procedure have experience some minor discomfort and some have experienced minor numbness, bruising and redness, up to 2 to 3 weeks after the procedure. More serious but more rare potential complications with cool sculpting include skin damage, leading to ulceration or scarring; prolonged or severe pain; abrupt fat layer changes, including “step-off” changes; and paradoxical adipose hyperplasia. This is where the patient will actually get a reverse reaction. Instead of fat reduction, they actually end up with more fat cells in the treated area. This is more common in men than women, and there’s really nothing you can do to prevent it or even know if somebody is at risk for it.

The cost for Coolsculpting will vary. What body areas, the number of required treatments and your individual goals. Most clients usually opt to receive treatments in multiple body areas.  The costs range between $2000 -$4500 for their individual plan. Most clinics will offer some form of flexible payment plans.

As with any procedures, you must research clinics, read the reviews, interview the staff, before making any choices.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurological disorders, so there are many different ADHD treatment options available. People with ADHD often have trouble concentrating, have difficulty following instructions, constantly feel restless, and are easily distracted. While many children are diagnosed with ADHD at a young age, it will continue to affect them throughout adulthood. Though there is no definitive cure for ADHD, there are many ways to successfully treat the symptoms.

ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It is a mental health disorder that can be seen in both children and adults, though the symptoms differ somewhat. The condition is primarily marked by hyperactivity or by difficulty paying attention. ADHD symptoms significantly affect the lives of those who are diagnosed. It can cause relationship issues and difficulty keeping a job, along with a host of other struggles.

A sign is something that can be observed and recognized by a doctor or healthcare professional (for example, a rash). A symptom is something that only the person experiencing it can feel and know (for example, pain or tiredness). The signs and symptoms of breast cancer can also be caused by other health conditions. It is important to have any unusual symptoms checked by a doctor.

Signs and symptoms of breast cancer include:

• a lump in the breast – the most common first sign
  • The woman usually finds the lump.
    • Sometimes the lump is seen on a screening mammogram before it can be felt.
  • The lump is present all the time and does not get smaller or go away with the menstrual cycle.
  • The lump may feel like it is attached to the skin or chest wall and cannot be moved.
  • The lump may feel hard, irregular in shape and very different from the rest of the breast tissue.
  • The lump may be tender, but it is usually not painful.
    • Pain is more often a symptom of a non-cancerous (benign) condition, but should be checked by a doctor.
• A lump in the armpit (axilla)
  • Sometimes small, hard lumps in the armpit may be a sign that breast cancer has spread to the lymph nodes. Although these lumps are often painless, they may be tender.
• Changes in breast shape or size
• Skin changes
  • The skin of the breast may become dimpled or puckered. A thickening and dimpling of the skin is sometimes called orange peel skin, or peau d’orange.
  • Redness, swelling and increased warmth (signs that look like an infection) may be a sign of inflammatory breast cancer.
  • Itching of the breast or nipple may be a sign of inflammatory breast cancer.
    • Itchiness is often not relieved by ointments, creams or other medications.
• Nipple changes
  • Some people’s nipples are always pointed inward (inverted). Normal nipples that suddenly become inverted should be checked by a doctor.
  • Discharge from the nipples can be caused by many conditions, most of which are non-cancerous (benign).
    • Discharge from one nipple may be a sign of breast cancer, especially if it appears without squeezing the nipple (is spontaneous) and is blood-stained.
  • Crusting, ulcers or scaling on the nipple may be a sign of some rare types of breast cancer, such as Paget disease of the nipple.

Late signs and symptoms

Late signs and symptoms occur as the cancer grows larger or spreads to other parts of the body, including other organs.

• Bone pain
• Nausea
• Loss of appetite
• Weight loss
• Jaundice is condition in which the skin and whites of the eyes become yellow and urine is dark yellow.
• Buildup of fluid around the lungs (pleura effusion)
  • shortness of breath
  • cough
• Headache
• Double vision
• Muscle weakness
