GENEVA, SWITZERLAND, April 07, 2011 (Press-News.org) Dr. Kai-Uwe Schlaudraff (www.concept-clinic.ch), a plastic surgeon who performs a wide range of plastic surgery procedures in Geneva, delivered a presentation on the topic of stem cell enriched fat transfer at the Cell Society's 1st Annual Clinical Meeting at the Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa in La Jolla, California. The meeting was held February 18 and 19, 2011.
"The desire to know more about the use of stem and regenerative cells in cosmetic medicine is widespread," says Dr. Schlaudraff. "Practitioners, patients and policy-makers worldwide must take an educated approach to weighing the benefits and risks of utilizing these therapies."
The Cell Society's meeting was designed to do exactly that by bringing global thought leaders like Dr. Schlaudraff together to educate physicians about the numerous "clinical applications of adult stem and regenerative cell therapies" which are being put into practice worldwide.
"More and more, I am integrating stem cell enriched fat transfer techniques when performing liposuction and bodysculpting procedures in Geneva, Switzerland," notes Dr. Schlaudraff. "Using cell enriched fat grafting, volume can be added to areas of the body and face including buttocks, breasts, cheeks, lips and hands. I also use this therapy to improve the appearance of scars and other skin imperfections."
Dr. Schlaudraff's presentation, "Autologous Fat Grafting to the Breast - Use, Safety, Risks," was well received as a key entry in the Breast & Soft Tissue Application portion of the Cell Society meeting. The event was jointly sponsored by the Annenberg Center for Health Sciences at Eisenhower and Medical Education Advocates.
"While any discussion of fat grafting can get quite technical, I've put the information I think would benefit patients the most on my website," adds Dr. Schlaudraff. "Resources there include a diagram of the surgical procedure, a list of areas that can benefit from treatment, and a detailed description of how cell enriched fat grafting improves upon the traditional technique."
Dr. Schlaudraff has been a major contributor in many clinical research projects with a focus on growth factors and fatty tissue, as well as adipose-derived stem and regenerative cells and fat grafting to the breast. He is a key opinion leader whose work has been published in well-respected clinical journals worldwide.
At the Concept Clinic, Dr. Kai-Uwe Schlaudraff (www.concept-clinic.ch) performs reconstructive and cosmetic plastic surgery in Geneva, Switzerland. He is known for procedures including breast augmentation, cell-enriched fat grafting, liposuction, and facelifts. Dr. Schlaudraff graduated from medical school at the University of Freiburg, Germany where he received his MD degree in fundamental and clinical research on angiogenesis and growth factors in cardiovascular surgery. After having trained in London and Paris, he completed his general surgery residency in Basel, Switzerland and received his training in plastic surgery as a resident and registrar at the University Hospital of Geneva, Switzerland.

New fusion gene plays role in some stomach cancers
2011-04-07
DURHAM, N.C. – A newly discovered hybrid gene appears to play a direct role in some stomach cancers, according to an international team of scientists led by researchers at Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School Singapore.
The hybrid gene is a fusion of two separate genes, and is one of the first described in gastric cancer, which is the most lethal malignancy worldwide after lung cancer. The disease kills an estimated 740,000 people a year, including nearly 11,000 annually in the United States.
The gene discovery may one day give doctors a more effective way to use current ...

New study solidifies role of DISC1 in risk for schizophrenia and other mental illness
2011-04-07
Johns Hopkins researchers report the discovery of a molecular switch that regulates the behavior of a protein that, when altered, is already known to increase human susceptibility to schizophrenia and mood disorders.
The findings, published online in the journal Nature, expand the possibility of creating biomarkers that can better diagnose those with mental illnesses and track their treatment.
Building on previous studies at Hopkins, the new research further offers clues to why the Disrupted In Schizophrenia gene (DISC1) and its protein product plays so many distinct ...
Brain development switch could affect schizophrenia, other conditions
2011-04-07
DURHAM, N.C. – An international team of scientists lead by researchers from Duke University and Johns Hopkins University have discovered a key "switch" in the brain that allows neurons to stop dividing so that these cells can migrate toward their final destinations in the brain.
The finding may be relevant to making early identification of people who go on to develop schizophrenia and other brain disorders.
"This work sheds light on what has been a big black box in neuroscience," said Nicholas Katsanis, Ph.D., co-senior author of the work and Jean and George Brumley ...
Human taste cells regenerate in a dish
2011-04-07
PHILADELPHIA (April 6, 2011) – Following years of futile attempts, new research from the Monell Center demonstrates that living human taste cells can be maintained in culture for at least seven months. The findings provide scientists with a valuable tool to learn about the human sense of taste and how it functions in health and disease.
This advance ultimately will assist efforts to prevent and treat taste loss or impairment due to infection, radiation, chemotherapy and chemical exposures.
"People who undergo chemotherapy or radiation therapy for oral cancer often ...
Body mass index in adolescence associated with early occurrence of diabetes and heart disease
2011-04-07
Boston, MA - A new 17 year follow-up study of 37,000 Israeli teenagers found that diabetes risk is mainly associated with increased body mass index (BMI) close to the time of diagnosis at early adulthood, while coronary heart disease risk is associated with elevated BMI both at adolescence and adulthood. The findings are published in the April 7 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
Lead study author, Amir Tirosh, MD PhD, of the Endocrine Division at Brigham and Women's Hospital said, "The study suggests that the obesity problem in children and teens is likely ...
Progesterone reduces rate of early preterm birth in at-risk women
2011-04-07
A National Institutes of Health study has found that progesterone, a naturally occurring hormone, reduced the rate of preterm birth before the 33rd week of pregnancy by 45 percent among one category of at risk women.
The women in the study had a short cervix, which is known to increase the risk for preterm birth. The cervix is the part of the uterus that opens and shortens during labor.
The study also found that infants born to women who had received progesterone were less likely to develop respiratory distress syndrome, a breathing complication occurring in preterm ...
Some diabetes drugs are better than others, according to new study
2011-04-07
New research suggests that several commonly prescribed drugs for type 2 diabetes may not be as effective at preventing death and cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attacks and stroke, as the oral anti-diabetic drug, metformin.
Insulin secretagogues (ISs), such as glimepiride, glibenclamide (known as glyburide in the USA and Canada), gliclazide and tolbutamide, have been used to treat type 2 diabetes since the 1950-1970s, Nevertheless, the long-term risk associated with these drugs has largely been unknown. Metformin is the first drug of choice in type 2 diabetes, ...
