Posted by Dr. Michael Bogdan in health care

Dr. Michael Bogdan
 

Dallas Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Michael Bogdan, created this video to help patients understand  tummy tuck surgery . The video morphs actual patient before and after photographs and highlights the regions addressed during the surgical procedure.

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) addresses several aspects of the abdomen, and is best suited for women after childbearing, or for patients who have undergone massive weight loss.  A tummy tuck:
  • Removes excess abdominal skin (and can remove stretch marks)
  • Tightens lax abdominal skin
  • Tightens lax stomach musculature
  • Flattens the stomach
  • Pulls in the waist line

While Dave Carroll of Nova Scotia Canada was flying on a United Airlines flight, he looked out the window and saw United baggage handlers literally throwing his guitar into the luggage compartment beneath the plane. Upon landing, his worst fears were realized when he found his guitar badly broken. After repeated attempts to resolve the problem with United - requesting compensation for the  broken guitar - United said they were not responsible for the damage and cited "luggage handling policy" as their "final word" on the matter.

Last weekend I was watching a great college football game between Oklahoma and BYU. At some point in the telecast, Todd Blackledge - who was calling the game - said essentially, "I think you put the ball in the hands of your Heisman trophy winning quarterback and let him take your team down the field."

Ultrasound and Prostate Cancer Treatment

Posted by Colleen Connolly in health care

Colleen Connolly

Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in men and the second leading cause of death for men in the United States. The American Cancer Society estimates that approximately 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime, but only 1 in 35 will die from it. Advances in the detection and treatment of prostate cancer have led to increased rates of survival for patients. Although clinical evidence strongly indicates that treatment practices for prostate cancer are effective, a serious challenge remains in treating patients with radiation therapy—the issue of prostate movement. Studies show that the prostate can move from day-to-day within the patient’s body, depending on how full the bladder is and whether or not there is stool in rectum. Even deep breathing, coughing or laughing can change the location of the prostate.
