Laser Liposuction or Laser Lipolysis

Laser assisted liposuction or laser lipolysis, is one of the fast growing and exciting liposuction developments since tumescent liposuction. Laser liposuction, otherwise known as laser lipolysis, incorporates a small surgical laser to target and melt away fat, before it is suctioned from the body. The use of surgical lasers allows for greater precision and more refined outcomes. Advances using laser technology make it possible to target and melt fat cells, while leaving muscle and nerve tissue unharmed. Laser liposuction creates new efficiencies in fat elimination and reduces pain, swelling and bruising after the laser liposuction procedure. Laser liposuction patients experience a quicker recovery. In addition, there is little chance of scarring. Laser liposuction may be more expensive than traditional or tumescent liposuction. The use of a laser technology system adds to the overall cost of the surgery. However, many people find that the improved results made it worth the extra cost

iPod Touch Used For Joint Replacement Surgery, Arrives In India

iPod Touch Used For Joint Replacement Surgery, Arrives In India Categories:  Apple ,  Apps ,  Tech Industry News ,  Videos ,  Wow Gadgets We have been hearing about iOS handhelds being used in education / healthcare for sometime now and here is a pro usage of the same. The last time I looked up a professional app on the   App Store , it was a DICOM viewer to simply show some MRI scans. But how about using the   iPod touch   to perform a super complex surgery? Apparently doctors at Breach Candy hospital in Mumbai have implemented a new system that uses an   iPod   touch with a software called DASH to perform knee replacement surgeries. We would spare you the deep technical workings of this setup (though the demo video below does enough),   but simply put in numbers, there is a 601% rise projected (from 2005-2030, according to reports cited) in corrective knee replacement surgery in US. And as many as 50% of these happen due to reasons like misalignment and loosening. Using preci

Exercise is a good way for people with arthritis to control pain... Dr.B.K.Murali

FRIDAY, April 1 - Exercise is a good way for people with arthritis to control pain and improve physical function, says an expert. "People who have arthritis are often scared to exercise because they think they will hurt themselves, but the condition will only get worse if people don't get moving," Dr.B.K.Murali, medical director at Hope Hospital in Nagpur, said in a news release. "The best way to start is to talk to your doctor about exercising and then work with a therapist or personal trainer to establish guidelines. Be proactive, and take it one step at a time," he advised. Exercise offers a number of benefits for people with arthritis, including: increasing muscle strength and endurance to improve joint stability; preserving and restoring joint motion and flexibility; and boosting aerobic conditioning to improve mental health and decrease the risk of other diseases. About 50 million adults in the United States have arthritis, according

SA Woman Dies During Liposuction ... Get liposuction done in reputed hospitals in Nagpur!

SAN ANTONIO -- Lisa Marie Martinez, a 32-year-old mother of three young boys, went in to have liposuction April 14 and didn't survive. Martinez went to Dr. Robert Young, with Aesthetic Enhancement of San Antonio. According to the medical examiner's report, Martinez died as a result of the procedure. The medical examiner listed the cause of death as, "Intra-abdominal hemorrhaging due to a perforated aorta, due to a liposuction procedure." KSAT-12's attempts to reach Young for comment were unsuccessful. According to Dr. Michael Decherd, president of the San Antonio International Society of Plastic Surgeons, liposuction is generally considered a very safe procedure, but those considering it should do their homework. "Ask was the doctor a reputable doctor? Were normal safety protocols employed? If somebody went to a good doctor and something bad happened, well, sometimes bad things happen," Decherd said. Young has been a practicing plast

Yellow Fever Vaccination is given only between 10 am and 4 pm everyday. Appointment necessary!

Vaccination Appointment for International Travelers (VAIT) Yellow Fever Vaccination is given only between 10 am and 4 pm everyday. Mail a copy of your passport to info@hopehospital.com before your appointment date. Yellow fever : ·        Mandatory vaccination against yellow fever is carried out to prevent the importation of yellow fever virus into vulnerable countries. These are countries where yellow fever does not occur but where the mosquito vector and non-human primate hosts are present. Importation of the virus by an infected traveller could potentially lead to the establishment of infection in mosquitoes and primates, with a consequent risk of infection for the local population. In such cases, vaccination is an entry requirement for all travellers arriving from countries, including airport transit, where there is a risk of yellow fever transmission. If yellow fever vaccination is contraindicated for medical reasons, a medical certificate is required for

UK immigrant screening misses most latent TB | Reuters

UK immigrant screening misses most latent TB  British tuberculosis screening for new immigrants fails to detect most imported cases of latent disease and screening should be widened to include more people from the Indian subcontinent, scientists said on Thursday. Britain has recently been dubbed "the tuberculosis (TB) capital of Europe" and is the only country in Western Europe with rising rates of disease. Current British border policies require immigrants from countries with a TB incidence higher than 40 per 100,000 people to have a chest X-ray on arrival to check for active TB. This generally covers African countries but excludes places in Asia such as India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. TB is caused by a bacterial infection which is normally asymptomatic, but about one in 10 cases lead to active disease which attacks the lungs and kills around half of those affected. While very few immigrants have active TB on arrival, many of them are carriers of the latent disease

The new story of an old bug - Views - livemint.com

The new story of an old bug The bug has now surfaced in New Delhi’s general water supply should have worried the government instead of pitching it into a blame game>The Indian medical establishment has been well and truly pricked. The Lancet , a medical journal, reported last week that antibiotic-resistant bacteria had been found in samples of drinking and seepage water in New Delhi. Since then, the study has been described as unscientific, a waste of time, and driven by questionable motives. The more innocuous Delhi Jal Board has quaintly proclaimed its water safe. The link between drug-resistant bacteria and India’s capital dates back a few years. In 2008, a Swedish patient who had been convalescing at a Delhi hospital was found to carry a peculiarly resistant and transmittable strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae . The gene that gave the bacterium its dangerous characteristics was named New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM-1), because it was thought to originate in the city’s ho

Weight A Minute: Top Five Weight-loss Myths Busted - Yahoo! Lifestyle India

Among the numerous myths floating around us all the times, myths about weight loss keep on surfacing every now and them. They are all around us: on the Web, friends keep delivering sermons on them or they can be found in the latest issue of a celebrity magazine. On this World Health Day, MensXP tries to rip apart five grave misconceptions related to weight loss. Myth 1: Giving Up the Breakfast Skipping breakfast would only undo your efforts of losing weight. A high-nutrient breakfast gives our body the much-needed calorie burning start. Just make sure that your breakfast is composed of healthy stuff like sprouts, juices, etc and it's not equivalent to the heavy meals you enjoy at weddings. Myth2: Carbs are My Worst Enemy All carbs aren't bad. Soda, a carbohydrate, is bad but broccoli, another carbohydrate, is good. All you need to figure out is which carbs are good for you instead of worrying about the overall carb intake. Rely

Govt plans to curb overuse of antibiotics - Times Of India

The government is getting serious about curbing irrational use of antibiotics. The Union health ministry has formalised a National Policy for Containment of Antibiotic Resistance which is awaiting minister Ghulam Nabi Azad's approval. Under the policy, junior doctors in hospitals will not be able to recommend third and fourth generation antibiotics to patients until the head of department (HoD) sanctions it. A study will soon be rolled out in three central government hospitals – RML, Safdarjung and Lady Hardinge -- to see the extent of resistance to antibiotics. All patients attending OPDs and admitted in ICUs and CCUs will be continuously monitored to gauge the exact bacteria specific and drug specific resistance. Uniformity in lab testing mechanism, equipments and reagents is also part of the policy. According to the director-general of Indian Council of Medical Research ( ICMR), Dr V M Kotach, a high level committee is presently studying the trends of antibiotic use in th

British woman sets plastic surgery world record - Fashion, Life & Style - The Independent

Seems as if Heidi Montag has found her mistress: 55-year-old Cindy Jackson is the Guinness World Record holder for plastic surgery performed on one person as of this month, having had 52 cosmetic procedures worth a staggering $100,000. "I didn't set out to break, to set a world record, it was never my ambition, it's just that I had so much done," she said in a portrait by ABC News, released this week. "So much" translates into 14 full-scale operations as well as pulls, peels and jabs, several Botox injections, five face-lifts and liposuction. Still, Jackson insists that she looks natural: "I wouldn't ever want anyone to stop and stare at me and say 'that woman's had a lot of surgery.' I would never want to look like I'd had anything done," she said. As with most plastic surgery 'addicts,' Jackson's drastic transformation seems to be due to lacking self-esteem. "One guy, when I was 14, said, you kn

Cardiology Team at MRI Use New Innovation to Save Man

Cardiology Team at MRI Use New Innovation to Save Man A quick thinking cardiology team at MRI helped save the life of a man who had a cardiac arrest during a routine procedure. A 65 year old man being prepared to undergo a routine tongue biopsy on Wednesday 6th February 2008 at MRI had a severe allergic reaction to the general anaesthetic, resulting in a cardiac arrest. The Cardiology Specialist Registrar on call Dr Petra Jenkins was called to see the man who was in a critical clinical condition. Ultrasound scan of the heart at this point showed that the heart was hardly contracting. This meant that blood supply was not reaching the vital organs. The patient was transferred immediately to the cardiac catheterisation theatre where Dr Fath-Ordoubadi, Consultant Cardiologist placed artificial pump into the heart called an Impella device. It became clear that the patient was suffering from apical ballooning syndrome. This condition, also known as Tsubo-T S
