Plastic surgery... before and after

Plastic surgery is a medical specialty concerned with the correction or restoration of form and function. While famous for aesthetic surgery, plastic surgery also includes two main fields: cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. 

Reconstructive Plastic Surgery is performed to correct functional impairments caused by:

• burns
• traumatic injuries, such as facial bone fractures
• congenital abnormalities, such as cleft lip, or cleft palate
• developmental abnormalities
• infection or disease
• removal of cancers or tumours, such as a mastectomy for a breast cancer, a head and neck cancer and an abdominal invasion by a colon cancer

Reconstructive plastic surgery is usually performed to improve function, but it may be done to approximate a normal appearance. It is generally covered by insurance coverage but this may change according to the procedure required.

Common reconstructive surgical procedures are: breast reconstruction for women who have had a mastectomy, cleft lip and palate surgery,contracture surgery for burn survivors, creating a new outer ear when one is congenitally absent, and closing skin and mucosa defects after removal of tumors in the head and neck region.

Plastic surgeons developed the use of microsurgery to transfer tissue for coverage of a defect when no local tissue is available. tissue flaps of skin, muscle, bone, fat or a combination, may be removed from the body, moved to another site on the body and reconnected to a blood supply by suturing arteries and veins as small as 1-2 mm in diameter.

The most common reconstructive procedures are tumor removal, laceration repair, scar repair, hand surgery and breast reduction.

Advice...

First of all, he went with a nutriology and the doctor gave him a diet that consist just eating vegetables, natural juices like oranege, lemon, etc. and doing exercise at least 30 minutes by day. Good luck and I hope you can practice these advices.

What is the best way to prevent back injury?

Try these things. They can help people to avoid back pain. Which is very common. Exercising, lose excess weight and maintaining goos posture are important. Practice standing tall, with your head up and your shoulders back, don´t slouching, sit straight. Slouching is bad for the spine. It is also bad for blood circulation. So, keep your back against the back of the chair, keep your feet flat on the floor and keep your knees slightly higher than your hips.

Real de Catorce

Well, in this hw I have to design a place of our country but this place has to be near our state... and this place is Real de Catorce in San Luis Potosi...

The town of Real de Catorce is located in the heart of the Catorce mountain range, in the state of San Luis Potosi, on the north of Mexico. It is 2,750 meters above sea level and the main access route is through a tunnel 2,300 meters long.

Founded in the year of 1779 due to the discovery of rich silver mines, which led a crowd of miners and adventurers to arrive in search of fortune, unleashing a real silver fever amid very unfavorable conditions. The site was inaccessible, there were no roads, there was no water and supplies were difficult to get.

There are two main activities which the tourist can enjoy in Real de Catorce; the first takes place inside the town and the other in the surrounding mountains. Before going any further, it should be noted that this is a very peaceful place and that there is no night-life. It is an ideal place to relax and unwind from the stress of city life. In fact, it could be considered a healing environment. For this reason, walking is without a doubt the most important activity.

The landscapes are marvelous and in about an hour you can walk to a hill known as "El Quemado", a sacred Huichol site of enchanting beauty. From here one can enjoy a marvelous view of the mountains and the desert below, which is an abundant reward for the effort. This is only one of the numerous trips which can be enjoyed. Another interesting one is a visit to the "Ghost Town", high above the Ogarrio Tunnel and past the old "Concepción's Mine". Here you will find the ruins of the old mine works, including mills and warehouses, always enjoying the unforgettable and uplifting panoramas. It is also possible to rent horses, saving yourself some of the effort but still enjoying the mountains of Real.

Definitely, it´s a excellent place for our vacations although we can go one weekend, too and everybody will enjoy this wonderful place.

Doctor Cynthia: So, tell me horlando. What is bothering you lately...

Horlando: When I was younger my mother married another man. So during that time I kept having the same dream over and over again about my stepfather.

Doctor Cynthia: OK and What was this dream about?

Horlando: I used to dream that we were driving around in the car my mom, he and I, and we stopped in a gas station and he told me to go into a store that was there to buy something... and so I got out of the car and into the store, and by the time that I got out of there, they were gone... so I started running after them yelling and they couldn´t listen to me and in the dream I could see my self not that far from the car, but then there was a moment when I looked at the mirror from the car and I could see my stepfather watching me with a face, like sayin haha I got rid of you.

Doctor Cynthia: And, are you having tht dream again?

Horlando: Yes, lately I´ve been.
