There are many innovations on the field of surgery also which means that breast implant is no longer as tricky or difficult as it used to be. With more and more innovations in surgery and drugs breast implants became quite common in hospitals and clinics.

The easiest and simplest way of ensuring a breast implant is by using incisions. Such incisions are always made near the area of the breast and can even be close to the armpits. The doctor is expected to work on this and consult his patient while deciding where specifically the incision can take place. Every patient who undergoes the procedure of breast implant needs to confirm that proper counseling is provided by the doctors and their staff.

Geranium Finding Its Way Into the Lab

By Leslie Hammond

A Brief Overview

Commonly known as geranium, species of Pelargonium are widely cultivated around the world. Of the hundreds of varieties of this perennial shrub, only about a handful are actively cultivated for commercial use. There is an actual botanical genius called Geranium that shares the same family as Pelargonium, known as Geraniaceae. Although they are similar, their uses are quite different. Pelargonium is cultivated and used in perfume and aromatherapy, while Geranium species grow almost anywhere except in water logged soil and sometimes used in the horticulture trade. Physical differences are also apparent with Geranium (commonly known as cranesbill) having symmetrical flowers and Pelargonium having irregular or maculate petals. Gardeners have taken up the practice of distinguishing the two by using their genus names versus their common names.

Indigenous to South Africa, geranium was first introduced into Europe in the 17th century and later hybridized. These hybrid cultivars have a wide variety of scents, including rose, citrus, mint, coconut and nutmeg. The main species cultivated for the aromatherapy and perfume industry is Pelargonium graveolens, or rose geranium. This specific species is indispensable in the aromatherapy industry and highly prized in the perfume industry. Extracted by steam distillation of the leaves and branches, the rose geranium essential oil is used by aromatherapists to assist with a wide array of maladies such as mood swings, skin disorders and feminine menstrual irregularities as well as to balance feminine hormone levels during menopause. Rose geranium has similar chemical constituents as those present in rose oil, namely geraniol, linalool and citronellol, thus making it a favorable alternative for the perfume industry to the more expensive essential oil of rose petals. Such a fragrance is also widely used by the cosmetic industry as a component in soaps, detergents, creams and lotions. The essential oil itself is extracted from the leaves and branches of the plant. After cutting, a common practice is to partially dry the plants in order to increase the yield of oil.

The first geranium plants grown for the French perfume industry were planted in Algeria in 1847 and then in the 1880s extensive plantations were established in Reunion - an island in the Indian Ocean governed by France. Geranium oil is also cultivated in other parts of the world for its commercial value such as China, Egypt, Russia and Central America. The oil from China is thought to be similar to that of Reunion (known as Bourbon), while the Egyptian geranium is quite different. This is due to various soil and climatic conditions. The Bourbon variety, with its rich aroma, is considered to be the most important of the geranium oils.

Geranium as a Strong Antimicrobial

In the last decade there has been a rise in attention given to antibiotic-resistant microbes, especially ones that cause severe infectious diseases and lead to fatality. On the first day of this new year of 2010, researchers from the National University of Ireland in Galway announced to the world that disinfectants can cause bacteria to resist antibiotics. Their study, published in the January 2010 issue of Microbiology, looked at the response of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to increasing levels of disinfectant. (P. aeruginosa is a bacterium that is a known occupant in hospitals, causing a wide range of infections in hospital patients. Standard hospital procedure is to use a surface disinfectant to prevent the spread of bacteria. If bacteria manage to survive and in turn infect patients, then antibiotics are administered.) The researchers found that P. aeruginosa adapted to increasing levels of disinfectant and even developed a resistance to an antibiotic (ciprofloxacin) without being exposed to the drug directly. More specifically, the researchers revealed that the bacteria had created a more efficient means of pumping out the antimicrobial agents (such as disinfectants and antibiotics) through their cell wall and developed a mutation in their DNA to resist ciprofloxacin-type antibiotics specifically. With such findings, the researchers concluded that such bacterial adaptations could be of great harm to hospital patients and advised to reconsider how disinfectants are used in hospital settings.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria are widespread in nature, inhabiting soil, water, plants, and animals. Yet these pathogens usually do not infect healthy human individuals, only those with compromised immune systems. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), P. aeruginosa accounts for 10.1 percent of all hospital-acquired infections and can be a cause of such diseases as pneumonia, urinary tract infections (UTIs), bone and joint infections, gastrointestinal infections and bacteremia. These infections are considered complicated and possibly life threatening.

There are an increasing number of studies being published in peer-reviewed journals on the potent antimicrobial properties of essential oils, including geranium. A 2004 study (Burns 2004 Dec; 30(8): 772-7) found that geranium in combination with Citracidal (grapefruit seed extract) had great effectiveness against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and in combination with tea tree was highly effective against methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus. These researchers concluded that essential oils serve as highly useful antimicrobial agents and in treatment of MSRA infection. A more recent study (BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine 2006 Nov 30; 6:39) found that essential oils, including geranium were effective against Staphylococcus aureus, including the ubiquitous bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Conclusion

Geranium essential oil has been praised for centuries for its medicinal qualities and beginning in the late 1800s for its aromatic fragrance in perfumes and cosmetics. Species of Pelargonium are found in flower gardens throughout the world. In recent times, with the rise of drug resistant pathogens, essential oils such as geranium have evoked interest as an alternative remedy in treating and preventing many infectious diseases. It is clear that the spread of drug resistant pathogens, such as P. aeruginosa, is one of the most serious threats to hospital patients. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a majority of the world's population depends on traditional medicine for primary healthcare. There may come at time in the near future where the entire world will once again turn to the medicinal qualities of plants and their constituents as a main source of illness recovery and wellness. - 31372

Changing Your Lifestyle Can Reduce Your Risks - Breast Cancer and Women

By Veronica Carrillo

Epidemiology Even though numerous epidemiological risk factors have been fully documented, it is still evident that the formation of many specific breast cancers has not been determined. Accordingly, epidemiological research derives the manner in which it manifests itself within a particular population, but it is unable to identify the characteristics relevant to an individual. In terms of specifics, the dominant risk factors are known to be the following: Sex, Age, Childbearing, Hormones, High Fat Diet, Alcohol Consumption, Obesity, Smoking, Radiation, and Shiftwork.

Obesity after menopause increases the risk: With the growing number of protective measures being taken to cut down on the risks of breast cancer before menopause starts, studies show that obesity clearly increases the chance of cancer after the full phase of menopause is completed. Some doctors have even stated that finding the tumors while preforming an exam or a mammogram are harder to sense because of the tumors feeling or looking like fatty tissue rather than the tumor itself because of the obesity.

While it is a correlation between obesity and cancer, estimates show that being overweight counts for about one in seven men and astoundingly one in five women contributing to some form of cancer related deaths in the US alone.

Putting this death rate into perspective, it represents only 7% of all deaths due to cancer and a mere 1% of deaths attributable to all causes. However, it must be noted that the number of cases of breast cancer identified worldwide has shown a marked increase since the 1970's. A number of reasons for this have been put forward, but the most likely candidate is the change in lifestyle experienced in Western societies.

Some of these cancer symptoms are definitely not painful in the initial stages. Nevertheless, there are some cells, which are growing in an unusual manner and are showing up in symptoms form. This sort of growth, whether benign or malign, needs to be checked up by your physician as soon as possible.

In this respect, a US study in 2005 by the SWHR identified the widespread belief that breast cancer was by far the most feared disease amongst women notwithstanding the fact that the rate of mortality in women from heart disease is so much greater. It is noteworthy that evidence from doctors has suggested that many women greatly exaggerate their vulnerability to contracting this particular cancer. - 31372

Our Breast Cancer Story Part One

By Tony Ulrich

My wife was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in March 2009. Back then we didn't know that I was going to receive my own cancer diagnosis only seven months later. But in this mini series of six parts called "Our Breast Cancer", I intend to talk about how our lives have changed when we learned about my wife's cancer. It's important that you understand, that the following text is from my point of view only, not my wife's .

I was travelling for business from Jersey to North Carolina. I believe it was the afternoon of March 3rd (2009), when my wife Ann called me up in my hotel room. I knew that she just went for her annual mammogram. They had her coming back in because they saw something on the slides and wanted a biopsy done. But we weren't concerned at all because that happened to us before and also to Ann's sisters. I think they call it having lumpy breasts, if a woman has little masses in her breast tissue. Anyway, there was absolutely not even the remotest thought of Breast Cancer.

So I was completely in shock when she told me, that her doctor had just called her to tell her, that she had Breast Cancer. It was brutal. I cannot even describe what and how I felt. I felt empty and overwhelmed at the same time. This couldn't be true. Not my wife. I started crying and maybe that's what made me feel so guilty. Because I knew I had to be strong now for Ann, yet, there I was, crying my heart out.

The most devastating part in that moment was the fact, that I couldn't be with my wife to comfort her. I got angry because I was so far away with no chance to get back home. If I was lucky, maybe I could get on a flight the next day.

When we hung up the phone, I completely fell apart. I pray for you that you will never have to go through anything like that.

And something else happened. All the things in life I had worried about, e. g. our mortgage, the bills, the future, everything became instantaneously unimportant. There was only one thing that really mattered, and that was Ann's health. The rest was irrelevant. Period. I prayed my heart out and begged the Lord for help. He was probably surprised to hear from me after such a long time - but I felt that he heard me and that gave me some comfort.

There was nothing more on earth I wanted to do but get back to Ann as soon as possible. I had nothing to lose, so I went on the internet and checked my airline's flight schedule for the night. I was happy when I realized that there were a few available empty seats, so I immediately changed my original booking. But only five minutes later I received a call from the airline. That flight was getting cancelled, because of the bad weather that was expected later that night. But they offered me to get me on the 7:30pm flight instead. That was very nice of them, however, that meant that I had only 40 minutes to pack my luggage, check out at the hotel and get a cab over to the Raleigh airport.

My hotel was very kind and offered me a lift to the airport. But I was unlucky with the driver. He meant well but coming from the Kentucky area and since he just started his new job, he missed the one and only highway exit off to the airport. And the next chance to turn around was about 15 miles away. I didn't show it, but inside of me I was falling apart.

But sometimes in my life and especially when everything seems to break down, something strange happens. Even though we were way late when I arrived at the airport, the plane was still waiting. It was actually waiting for me and three other passengers who were desperately trying to make it on time. And miraculously, just a few hours later I was back at my house in Jersey and holding my wife Ann in my arms. - 31372

What Does Breast Cancer Look Like?

By Alison Ayer

Would you like to find out what those-in-the-know have to say about breast cancer? The information in the article below comes straight from well-informed experts with special knowledge to answer the question, "what does breast cancer look like?"

Breast cancer is the most lethal form of cancer for women in the world. An estimated 1 million cases will be identified this year, and about 500,000 new and existing patients will die from the disease. Breast cancer incidence among women of European descent in the Western world is several times higher than that among Chinese or Japanese women in Asia. The gradual elimination of this difference over several generations among Asian migrants in Western countries implies that genetic factors are not responsible for the ecological contrasts [2]. Breast cancer is 100 times more common in women than in men. Most cases of male breast cancer are detected in men between the ages of 60 and 70, although the condition can develop in men of any age.

Breast cancer is caused by cells in the breast growing abnormally and quickly, forming a tumor. The two main forms of breast cancer are ductal carcinoma, which begins in the mild ducts of the breast, and lobular carcinoma, which originates in the milk-producing glands.

So far, we've uncovered some interesting facts about breast cancer. You may decide that the following information is even more interesting.

Women who drink alcohol have a modestly increased risk. The more you drink, the greater your risk. Women, in general, are concerned with their appearance, their weight, and their body, with recent studies suggesting 89% of women reported concerns with weight. Such premorbid concerns are often deeply ingrained and can contribute to psychological distress in women treated for breast cancer. Women frequently chave their underarms, which causes small abrasions. When applying an antiperspirant, the aluminum inside the antiperspirant, goes into the bloodstream and can cause cancerous tumors.

Breast cancer can reoccur 10, 15, 20 years after the first diagnosis, and then it can be deadly. I would never want to trivialize domestic violence, but please, do not try to trivialize this disease that can strike anyone, from very young to the elderly. Breast cancer is a malignancy of the breast, usually involving the ductal or lobular tissues (the tissues involved in milk production). A small percentage of breast cancers tend to cluster in families. Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer diagnosed in women today. Around the world breast cancer statistics shows that after lung cancer breast cancer is the second most death-causing factor in people who develops cancer.

Women with higher breast density are at increased risk of developing breast cancer. Breast density can be assessed by mammography. Women in their 40s are 60% more likely to experience false positives from mammograms, leading to unnecessary follow-up tests and anxiety. While these risks may seem relatively minor, early screening also increases the odds that a woman will be treated for cancer that never would have sickened her - and unnecessary cancer treatment is a much more serious proposition than a biopsy. Women who unfortunately have cancer before age 40 have been and would continue to receive mammograms due to other findings or history. The disease itself comes in so many forms that certainly there is not one perfect way to treat it or cure it.
