BROOKLINE, MA, August 06, 2011 (Press-News.org) A new alternative to traditional liposuction in the Boston area is now available at Longwood Plastic Surgery (www.cosmeticsurgeonboston.com). Body-Jet uses a spray of fluid to help loosen fat for easier removal. In addition to reducing trauma to surrounding tissue and discomfort, Body-Jet achieves attractive body contouring results.

"The benefits of Body-Jet liposuction for Boston area residents are two-fold: first, it helps remove unwanted fat gently and thoroughly with less force than standard tumescent liposuction," says Dr. Michael Tantillo, board-certified plastic surgeon at Longwood Plastic Surgery. "And secondly, it allows us to harvest the fat cells from areas of the body such as the abdomen or thighs, and then moves those fat cells to another area for procedures such as natural breast augmentation in Boston."

Body-Jet is similar to liposuction in that it uses a sterile saline solution to gently dislodge fat cells so that they can be removed easily. However, Body-Jet delivers this solution using a special pulsating action, which eliminates the need for forced manual movement. This method results in less bruising, bleeding, and trauma to the surrounding tissues. The Body-Jet system is also more efficient than standard liposuction because it is able to simultaneously spray fat cells with fluid while also suctioning them out. By shortening the procedure time, the patient's recovery time is accelerated as well.

"Our patients can expect minimal downtime and discomfort after their Body-Jet procedure," Dr. Tantillo states. "The need for pain medication is typically reduced because of Body-Jet's gentle suctioning device, and the treatment can usually be performed under local anesthesia - thereby eliminating the risks associated with general anesthesia."

Body-Jet is best-suited for men and women who want to eliminate isolated areas of fat on the body, or who want to balance their body proportions. Body-Jet can also be used during a tummy tuck for Boston patients who want to remove excess fat and tighten the abdominal muscles.

"Generally, Body-Jet works best for the individual who is active and healthy, but who may be bothered by certain trouble zones that persist regardless of diet or exercise," Dr. Tantillo explains. "Body-Jet is not recommended for individuals who are overweight or who have a significant amount of excess skin."

Dr. Michael Tantillo (www.cosmeticsurgeonboston.com) is a Boston plastic surgeon who is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He received his medical degree from the University of Alabama School of Medicine and went on to receive extensive training including a plastic surgery residency through Harvard University. As a faculty member of Harvard Medical School, Dr. Tantillo continues to expand and contribute his knowledge by staying up to date on the latest cosmetic and plastic surgery techniques.

Breakthrough in photonic chip research paves way for ultrafast information sharing
2011-08-06
Researchers at the California Institute of Technology and the University of California, San Diego have discovered a way to prevent light signals on a silicon chip from reflecting backwards and interfering with its operation. Otherwise, the light beams would interfere with lasers and other photonic components on the chip and make the chip unstable. The breakthrough marks a significant achievement in the development of integrated photonic chips that could replace electronic chips as the backbone of information technology. Their findings are published Aug. 5 in the journal ...

LSUHSC research finds species share perceptual capabilities that affect how communication evolves

2011-08-06
New Orleans, LA – A research team that included Hamilton E. Farris, PhD, Research Assistant Professor of Neuroscience and Otorhinolaryngology at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans, reveals that two entirely different species show similar perception of auditory cues that drive basic biological functions; that these perceptions may be universally shared among animals; and that such perception may also limit the evolution of communication signals. The work is published in the August 5, 2011 issue of Science. Using the labs at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute ...

NYU neuroscientists identify how the brain remembers what happens and when

2011-08-06
New York University neuroscientists have identified the parts of the brain we use to remember the timing of events within an episode. The study, which appears in the latest issue of the journal Science, enhances our understanding of how memories are processed and provides a potential roadmap for addressing memory-related afflictions. Previous research has shown the brain's medial temporal lobe (MTL) has a significant role in declarative memory—that is, memory of facts and events or episodes. Past studies have shown that damage to the MTL causes impairment in memory for ...

Interest rate changes will affect you less with a bond ladder. Here's why: - If interest rates go down over the next few years, you will already have locked in higher rates--and the current market value of your fixed income portfolio will be rising. - If interest rates stay the same, you will be earning longer term yields, so your return should exceed what you would be earning if you left your investment short term. - If interest rates go up, the current market value of your fixed income portfolio will be falling. However, as each rung on the ladder matures, ...

Out of body experience for stem cells may lead to more successful transplants

2011-08-06
New research finds that growing blood stem cells in the laboratory for about a week may help to overcome one of the most difficult roadblocks to successful transplantation, immune rejection. The study, published by Cell Press in the August issue of the journal Cell Stem Cell, may lead to more promising therapeutic strategies for transplanting blood stem cells. Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are cells that can give rise to all of the different types of blood cells. Transplantation of HSCs has been used to treat leukemia, lymphoma, and other types of cancer, as well as ...

Hormone reduces risk of heart failure from chemotherapy

2011-08-06
Recent studies have shown that the heart contains cardiac stem cells that can contribute to regeneration and healing during disease and aging. However, little is known about the molecules and pathways that regulate these cells. Now, a new study utilizing a heart failure model is providing insight into one way to coax the cardiac stem cells into repairing the damaged heart. The research, published by Cell Press in the August 2011 issue of the journal Cell Stem Cell, finds that low doses of erythropoietin (EPO), a hormone best known for controlling the production of red blood ...

Mutation linked with the absence of fingerprints

2011-08-06
Scientists have identified a mutation that might underlie an extremely rare condition, called "adermatoglyphia," which causes people to be born without any fingerprints. The research, published by Cell Press online August 4th in The American Journal of Human Genetics, not only provides valuable insight into the genetic basis of adermatoglyphia and of typical fingerprint formation but also underscores the usefulness of rare genetic mutations as a tool for investigating unknown aspects of our biology. Human skin has ridges called dermatoglyphs that are present on the fingers, ...

Novel DNA-sensing pathway in immune response to malaria

2011-08-06
Until very recently, it was unclear why infection with malaria causes fever and, under severe circumstances, an infectious death. Although the parasite has an abundance of potentially toxic molecules, no one knew which ones were responsible for the inflammatory syndrome associated with disease. Now, a new study identifies a novel DNA-sensing mechanism that plays a role in the innate immune response to the parasite that causes malaria. The findings, published online August 4th by Cell Press in the journal Immunity, provide new insight into how the immune system detects ...
