Post Infection Nose Rhinoplasty, when not performed appropriately under the guidance of a well-trained surgeon may lead to complications, such as infection post-surgery. Moreover, the infection rates are much higher when using alloplastic implants, such as silicone and Gore-Tex. This is the reason why autologous (from your own body) materials are considered as a better and safer option. An infection is often accompanies by symptoms such as, redness, pain or swelling in nose, persistent nose…

nonsurgical option there was to try and make this problem go away but nothing would work. Eight days before my eighth grade graduation I had double knee surgery. It turns out that there were bands wrapped around my knee caps that never went away after I was born. He told me that when he took out the bands they were as thick as ropes. After surgery I felt brand new and it was as if I could feel a difference in my knees already. A year has passed and I’m starting varsity swimming at my high…

of things that have happened in my life that I don’t remember, or can vaguely recall, but I remember every detail from that surgery. I was born with Arnold Chiari Malformation, a congenital defect in the back of the head where the brain and spinal cord connect. It affects one in a thousand people. The doctors diagnosed my condition when I was two, and I’ve had seven surgeries attempting to fix the problem. Unfortunately, none of them have worked, but I’m lucky enough to continue on with daily…

(VTE) [i.e., pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT)] is a common complication during and after a hospital admission. Further, VTE is a leading cause of major complications and death after major orthopedic surgery.

It leads to early diagnosis to find a risk factor of DVT from medical history of the patient. Total knee arthroplasty…

interested in the surgery aspect of the medical field, so when I found out we would be observing surgical operations I could not have been more excited. Michelle, who sets everything up, saw that I was on 5 North and thought it would be perfect to put me with the neurology team for the day. This added to my excitement because she did not have a lot of surgeries scheduled that entailed really open incisions and both of the operations I was able to watch did. The two surgeries scheduled for the…

therapy. Starting off slow, my first couple sessions were spent doing slight movements to get mobility and flexibility back. I would go three times a week to get treatments but that was the only physical activity I was allowed to partake in. Up until surgery, I was active every day. I was either working out, practicing, or playing in game. As a result of being inactive for so long and keeping the same eating habits, I gained weight, and lost muscle mass. The four month period I was inactive, was…
