SAN JOSE, CA, April 08, 2011 (Press-News.org) In an effort to help his patients look better, feel better and save money on some of their favorite treatments, Dr. Vincent Lepore (www.vincentleporemd.com) is now offering specials on several plastic surgery procedures in San Jose.
"Cosmetic surgery is a big decision, and I want to make it a little easier for my patients who want to invest in themselves by offering special rates on some of the most popular procedures at my practice," notes Dr. Lepore, a board-certified plastic surgeon in private practice for almost 25 years. "I think people interested in body contouring and women considering breast augmentation in San Jose will find that now is an ideal time to come see me for a consultation to learn more about cosmetic enhancement."
Dr. Lepore's practice is currently offering savings on VASER Lipo, ultrasonic liposuction and breast augmentation. People interested in the special pricing are encouraged to call the practice at 408-356-4241 for more information.
"Every day, my practice delivers exceptional value along with highly professional and personalized service," adds Dr. Lepore. "We offer advanced body contouring techniques including VASER Lipo and have the latest selection of saline and silicone gel breast implants in San Jose. Behind all this technology, I'm committed to the skill and artistry necessary to make every procedure a complete success."
Both saline and silicone gel implants from top implant manufacturers are available at the practice. Since their introduction in late 2006, silicone gel implants have become increasingly popular at Dr. Lepore's practice due to their natural look and feel.
VASER Lipo treatment offers an advantage over traditional liposuction through the use of a surgical wand (cannula) that emits ultrasonic energy. These ultrasound waves help to break up the targeted fat cells, making them easier to suction away. With less trauma to surrounding tissue, patients can minimize downtime and discomfort while still achieving smoother and slimmer results.
"I decided to offer savings on breast and body contouring procedures in part because the spring months are a perfect time to have a procedure and be well on the road to recovery before the vacations and outdoor activities of summer begin," explains Dr. Lepore. "It is possible to look better, feel better and save money this spring. I look forward to helping more people achieve their cosmetic goals over the coming months."
Dr. Vincent Lepore (www.vincentleporemd.com) is a board-certified plastic surgeon in San Jose whose most popular procedures include breast augmentation, breast lift, and body-contouring surgery such as abdominoplasty. Dr. Lepore earned his medical doctorate from the University of Cincinnati Medical School before going on to complete surgical training through Dartmouth University as well as Stanford University's prestigious plastic surgery department, where he has also served as a surgical instructor. Dr. Lepore is a member of surgical societies including the American Board of Plastic Surgeons, and is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He has been in private practice since 1987.

Blood pressure's internally driven daily rhythm unlikely to be linked to morning heart attacks
2011-04-08
The internally-driven daily cycle of blood pressure changes doesn't appear to be linked to the known increase in morning heart attacks, according to a study in Circulation Research: Journal of the American Heart Association.
Researchers sought to identify the role of the internal human body clock in the daily rise and fall in blood pressure. In the study, three groups of volunteers showed an internal daily blood pressure variation with a peak at around 9 p.m. — independent of changes in activity and other behavioral influences that can affect blood pressure.

Virtual reality may lead to real-world improvement for stroke patients
2011-04-08
Virtual reality (VR) and other video games led to significant improvement in arm strength following stroke and could provide an affordable, enjoyable and effective way to intensify treatment, according research reported in Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association.
Researchers analyzed seven observational and five randomized trials, representing a total of 195 patients, ages 26 to 88, who had suffered mild to moderate strokes.
Each study had investigated the effects of electronic games on upper arm strength and function.
In the observational studies, there ...
David Blair of QuadCap Wealth Management and Estimated Payments
2011-04-08
David Blair of QuadCap Wealth Management, LLC, recently spoke to a group of Dallas business owners regarding the necessity of withholding and/or estimated payments.
An excerpt of this talk follows: "The United States tax system is a pay-as-you-go system that requires taxpayers to pay as the income they are taxed on is earned. If you are paying your taxes throughout the year through withholding, you can increase this towards the end of the year to make up any shortfall. If you are self-employed however, you must make estimate payments throughout the year."

In trial, video helps people weigh bariatric surgery pros, cons
2011-04-08
SEATTLE—A video-based decision aid helped severely obese people to make more informed choices about bariatric surgery and reach more certainty about them, according to a trial involving 152 Group Health patients, e-published in Obesity in advance of print. This randomized controlled trial is the first to test shared decision making for weight-loss surgery.
Researchers randomly assigned half the patients to receive an educational booklet on bariatric surgery and half to watch the video-based decision aid. After three months, those who watched the video felt less conflicted ...

New approach to IVF embryo donations lets people weigh decision
2011-04-08
STANFORD, Calif. — People who use in vitro fertilization to conceive children often have leftover embryos and must decide whether to store them, dispose of them or possibly donate them for research. A new process developed by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine allows these people to make this decision in the privacy of their own homes — without any interaction with clinic personnel or scientists who might benefit from the research.
"There is concern that conflicts of interest and influence by researchers and clinicians may play a role in donor choice," ...
Rethinking reprogramming: A new way to make stem cells
2011-04-08
A paper published by Cell Press in the April 8th issue of the journal Cell Stem Cell reveals a new and more efficient method for reprogramming adult mouse and human cells into an embryonic stem cell-like state and could lead to better strategies for developing stem cells for therapeutic use.
The ability to reprogram adult cells into cells that resemble embryonic stem cells has tremendous potential for both stem cell research and regenerative medicine. "Previous studies have demonstrated the usefulness of iPSCs not only in the study of basic stem biology, but also in ...
A new way to make reprogrammed stem cells
2011-04-08
PHILADELPHIA - Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have devised a totally new and far more efficient way of generating induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), immature cells that are able to develop into several different types of cells or tissues in the body. The researchers used fibroblast cells, which are easily obtained from skin biopsies, and could be used to generate patient-specific iPSCs for drug screening and tissue regeneration.
iPSCs are typically generated from adult non-reproductive cells by expressing four different genes called ...

Political views are reflected in brain structure
2011-04-08
We all know that people at opposite ends of the political spectrum often really can't see eye to eye. Now, a new report published online on April 7th in Current Biology, a Cell Press publication, reveals that those differences in political orientation are tied to differences in the very structures of our brains.
Individuals who call themselves liberal tend to have larger anterior cingulate cortexes, while those who call themselves conservative have larger amygdalas. Based on what is known about the functions of those two brain regions, the structural differences are consistent ...
