LOS ANGELES, CA, April 24, 2011 (Press-News.org) All women have uneven breasts, but the difference can be so pronounced in many women as to create difficulty finding bras and clothes that fit properly. Extreme breast asymmetry can also lead to feelings of insecurity and depression about your appearance.
The difference between breasts can be subtle in some women, dramatic in others; it can also include corresponding conditions such as uneven nipples, varying areolas or differently shaped breasts.
The causes of uneven breasts can also differ. Asymmetrical breasts can be genetic in nature or brought about by hormonal fluctuations, such as one breast beginning to develop before the other during adolescence or fibrocystic changes in breast tissue. Pregnancy and hyperplasia can also cause variations between breasts.
Women with minor breast asymmetry may find bra padding or bras with adjustable sizing a suitable solution. But if you have excessively uneven breasts, you may want to consider cosmetic surgery.
In many cases, the larger breast can be reduced or the smaller breast augmented to give your breasts a more proportionate appearance. Surgery procedures may include breast augmentation, a breast lift, breast reduction or breast implants either singly or in conjunction with another procedure.
The decision to undergo breast augmentation surgery to correct uneven breasts should be based on your individual goals and a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic surgeon experienced in the procedures used to treat uneven breasts. Your surgeon can make recommendations based on your goals and specific condition.
You must be at least 18 for most breast surgery procedures to ensure your body is fully developed and that your breasts have reached maturation. You must be at least 22 to undergo breast augmentation with silicone breast implants.
If you live in the Beverly Hills, Los Angeles or Newport Beach, California, areas and would like more information about the options for correcting uneven breasts, please visit the website of E. Kim Plastic Surgery.

Maryland Court of Appeals Upholds Statutory Damages Cap
Last year brought one significant disappointing legal development for Maryland personal injury victims and wrongful death survivors. While plaintiffs in Illinois and Georgia received news from their state's highest courts that damages should be determined by juries rather than politicians, the Maryland Court of Appeals issued an opinion that upheld the cap on damages passed by the state legislature over two decades ago. Insurance companies and other "tort reform" advocates were understandably pleased with ...
UGA compound offers new hope for treatment of painful adult shingles
2011-04-24
Athens, Ga. – Researchers at the University of Georgia and Yale University have discovered a compound with the potential to be more effective than existing agents in treating the very painful blisters known as shingles—a condition that affects up to 30 percent of Americans, mostly elderly, and for which no specific treatment exists.
Most adults remember the fever, itchy blisters and possibly tiny scars they experienced as children when they had chickenpox, which is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, or VZV.Unfortunately, that memory can come back—with a vengeance—when ...

The plaintiff initially missed about two months of work after receiving medical treatment and occupational therapy and receiving ...
Liver-cell transplants show promise in reversing genetic disease affecting liver and lungs
2011-04-24
April 21, 2011 -- (Bronx, NY) -- Transplanting cells from healthy adult livers may work in treating a genetic liver-lung disorder that affects millions of people worldwide, according to an animal study in the April 18 online edition of the Journal of Clinical Investigation. Jayanta Roy-Chowdhury, M.D. , professor of medicine and of genetics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University, is the study's senior author.
The genetic disorder, alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency, is the most common potentially lethal hereditary disease among Caucasians, affecting ...
Optical microscope without lenses produces high-resolution 3-D images on a chip
2011-04-24
UCLA researchers have redefined the concept of a microscope by removing the lens to create a system that is small enough to fit in the palm of a hand but powerful enough to create three-dimensional tomographic images of miniscule samples.
The advance, featured this week in the early online edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, represents the first demonstration of lens-free optical tomographic imaging on a chip, a technique capable of producing high-resolution 3-D images of large volumes of microscopic objects.
"This research clearly ...

High-Profile California Cases Draw Attention to Employee Misclassification
Recent lawsuits filed in California courts against Franklin American Mortgage Company, Raytheon, Enterprise Rent-A-Car and Ecolab are highlighting the oft-ignored issue of employee misclassification. The intentional -- or even accidental -- misclassification of employees can make them ineligible for payment of overtime benefits, mandatory rest periods, covered meal times, uniform reimbursement and other employee perks.

New approach to defeating flu shows promise
2011-04-24
New research on mice has shown that pulmonary administration of granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) significantly reduces flu symptoms and prevents death after a lethal dose influenza virus. While GM-SCF therapy for humans as a flu prophylaxis or treatment may be years away, the study results were striking: All of the mice treated with GM-SCF survived after being infected with the influenza virus, whereas untreated mice all died from the same infection.
"Such unique and unambiguous results demonstrate the great potential of GM-CSF and may be the ...
Scotland's first marine reserve already producing benefits
2011-04-24
Scotland's first fully protected marine reserve, and only the second in the UK, is already providing commercial and conservation benefits, according to new research.
After only two years in operation, it is already showing positive signs for both fishermen and conservationists, according to a study by the University of York and the Community of Arran Seabed Trust (COAST).
The research, published in the journal Marine Biology, shows that commercially valuable scallops and several species of algae known to promote biodiversity are much more abundant in the marine reserve, ...

TGen findings contribute to understanding of diabetic kidney disease
2011-04-24
PHOENIX, Ariz.-- April 22, 2011-- A gene called PVT1 may help reduce the kidneys ability to filter blood, leading to kidney disease, kidney failure and death, according to a study published today by researchers at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen).
The TGen team found PVT1 expression levels increased up to 5-fold in response to hyperglycemia, or high blood sugar, a condition that often accompanies diabetes.
But by knocking down or reducing the expression of the PVT1gene, TGen researchers lowered the amount of proteins associated with the excessive ...
