Breast reconstruction

The Suckle of Life The first time I saw someone breastfeeding in public I was twelve years old. My family had traveled to Billings to spend the day at the Montana State Fair and meet up with my aunt and her family. My aunt had recently had a baby, so around lunch time we all sat down to eat, and naturally my aunt started feeding her new son. I couldn’t help but stare because she had this innocent person hidden under a blanket. At the time the temperature had risen into the upper nineties, so I…

Limitations of FDG PET and PET/CT and the role of MRI One drawback of PET based imaging is that some tumor types do not demonstrate significant FDG avidity. Schwab JH et al. reported a case of myxoid liposarcoma metastasis to the lumbar spine and paraspinal soft tissues, which was not detected by FDG PET, but easily seen on MRI [19]. In these cases, where FDG PET offers limited sensitivity, other target specific radiotracers or other imaging modalities, such as MRI should be considered. The…

Child-led weaning is loosely defined as allowing a child to continue breastfeeding for an extended amount of time, or until he or she weans naturally. Multiple forms of research have proven breast milk to be the best form of nutrition for babies. Additionally, as the child grows, the composition of the mother’s breast milk changes in order to best fulfill the nutritional needs of the child. It is not uncommon for women to initiate breastfeeding at birth. However, a study performed on over 500…

Since, birth we are exposed to culture and our culture is what enables us to grow and one day become a functional member of our community. However, each culture values their own set of skills and values that they find important for their children as well as their entire community. We will be examining the child rearing of my 50-year-old mother Dolores compared to the Mayan or US family practices. My mother has four children in total: the oldest being my brother age 30, along with my two older…

reading this research article, it made me realize how beneficial breastfeeding is not only beneficial for the baby, but also the mother as well. One key point to start off with is that breast milk is known for being the best complete form of nutrition. Breast milk contains protein, vitamins, and fat for the baby. Breast milk also provides natural antibodies, which help your baby fight off many infections. Overall, breastfed babies are often less constipated and healthier than babies being…

facts? A fact that posed as misconduct is the lack in compassion and commitment from both the physician Dr. Evans and the employees at the medical clinic in the institution. Because of the fact that Dr. Evans failed to identify the lump in Tomcik’s breast as a result of a passively performed examination, he did not follow his obligation, as a physician, to deliver the high-quality care that patients should receive. In regard of the employees at the medical clinic, they did not give Tomcik…

Abstract: In this paper, we have developed a shape feature extraction of MRI brain tumor image retrieval. We used T1 weighted image of MRI brain tumor images. There are two modules: feature extraction process and classification. First, the shape features are extracted using techniques like Scale invariant feature transform (SIFT), Harris corner detection and Zernike moments. Second, the supervised learning algorithms like Deep neural network (DNN) and Extreme learning machine (ELM) are used to…

1. INTRODUCTION Over 90,000 people suffer from nervous system injuries every year (Stabenfeldt, García & Laplaca, 2006) while spinal cord injury alone affects 10,000 people each year (Prang et al., 2006). The new invention, NeuRobot, a kind of nanorobot which is defined as a controllable machine at the nanometer scale that are composed of nano-scale components and algorithmically respond to input forces and information, is believed to bring the nanotechnology to the next level and be the answer…

Cancer is a serious cause of death globally. Cancerous cells cannot be distinguished easily from the normal cells. Rapid development of cancerous cells depends on the process of Angiogenesis. Inhibition of the angiogenesis is a novel strategy in cancer treatment. Currently, herbal medicines are also being used, along with chemotherapy to reduce the side effects. For the present study, Neem was selected as it is a versatile tree in India. From the ancient times it has been considered as a mighty…

Cancer remains the second leading cause of death in the United States and one of three major medical problems internationally (Siegel 7). Constant donations and charity raising events are brought to the public eye in hopes to one day find a cure. In 1993, ESPN developed an award called the Arthur Ashe Courage Award to commemorate someone who demonstrates courage and do things to transcend their sporting careers. In the first year of its existence, ESPN awarded this award to Jim Valvano at the…
