JOLIET, IL, August 06, 2011 (Press-News.org) Dr. Jose Rios, who specializes in plastic surgery in the Naperville area, has taken a unique approach to helping his patients achieve their cosmetic goals while saving time and money: he offers both traditional cosmetic surgery and a state-of-the-art medical spa.
"Although most other Joliet and Naperville area plastic surgeons also offer a wide range of cosmetic surgery procedures, my practice is unusual in offering both medical spa treatments and surgical procedures," says Dr. Rios. "As a result, my patients don't have to spend time trying to find both a cosmetic surgeon and a medical spa. In addition, we can often combine treatments, saving them not just time but money."
Dr. Rios, a board-certified plastic surgeon, or Dr. Paula Lapinski, a board-certified dermatologist, personally performs or supervises every procedure. Their combined expertise has created a highly popular practice that offers the latest dermatologic treatments, a full range of plastic surgery procedures, and an extensive selection of medical spa services.
"Our expanded menu of different ways to achieve a more beautiful appearance attracts patients from many different regions of Illinois, from Chicago to Joliet and Naperville. Cosmetic surgery procedures, such as liposuction or a tummy tuck, increasingly appeal to men as well as women," Dr. Rios notes. "Once the men come into our office and discover our many different options, they often feel more comfortable about achieving other aesthetic goals, such as improving acne scars from their teenage years with Fraxel laser treatments. They don't have to deal with finding another doctor for dermatological or medical spa treatments."
In addition to microdermabrasion, medical spa treatments available at the institute include BOTOX Cosmetic, injectable fillers, chemical peels, laser skin treatments, sclerotherapy, and facials.
At the Rios and Lapinski Plastic Surgery and Dermatologic Institute (www.rios-lapinski.com), Dr. Jose Rios and Dr. Paula Lapinski offer a unique combination of expertise in cosmetic surgery and dermatology. Dr. Rios completed his education at Princeton University and New York University and is double board-certified by the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Plastic Surgery. He has co-authored multiple articles and presented his research at the local, state, and national levels. Dr. Lapinski is board-certified by The American Board of Dermatology and earned her degrees at Notre Dame and Northwestern University. She completed dermatology residency at the University of Texas-Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas and interest in skin cancer encouraged her to stay another year and complete a Mohs Micrographic Surgery Fellowship.

UCLA life scientists' study of abalone yields new insights into sexual reproduction
2011-08-06
In new research that could have implications for improving fertilization in humans and other mammals, life scientists studied interactions between individual sperm and eggs in red abalone, an ocean-dwelling snail, and made precise chemical measurements and physical models of these interactions. They are the first scientists to do so.
By simulating the natural habitat of the abalone in the laboratory, the scientists were able to determine the conditions under which sperm–egg encounters and fertilization were most likely to occur.

Suicide risk high for war veterans in college, study finds
2011-08-06
WASHINGTON -- Nearly half of college students who are U.S. military veterans reported thinking of suicide and 20 percent said they had planned to kill themselves, rates significantly higher than among college students in general, according to a study presented at the American Psychological Association's 119th Annual Convention.
"These alarming numbers underscore the urgent need for universities to be adequately staffed and prepared to assist and treat student veterans," said M. David Rudd, PhD, of the University of Utah and lead author of the study entitled, "Student ...
Small interventions can alleviate underperformance caused by stereotype threat
2011-08-06
WASHINGTON – Picture black and white students at an Ivy League college learning about black students who are a year or so ahead of them in that school. They're told that the older black students were anxious about fitting in and how they would be viewed in college when they first arrived. But as the older black students got more involved in campus life, they began to find the school rewarding, even exciting as their life course took shape.
"For the black kids who were given this narrative, their [grade point] averages in the next semester were a third of a letter grade ...
Researchers shed new light on predicting spinal disc degeneration
2011-08-06
About 80% of the active population suffers from low back pain at some point in their lives. In a paper published on August 4th 2011 in PLoS Computational Biology, researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) show that overloading on already degenerated discs is less damaging than on discs which are still healthy – and that changes in cell density in discs are fundamental to the process of disc degeneration.
Back pain is closely related to ageing of the discs in the spine, a process characterized by a series of changes in their structure and function, ...
The brain grows while the body starves
2011-08-06
When developing babies are growth restricted in the womb, they are typically born with heads that are large relative to their bodies. The growing brain is protected at the expense of other, less critical organs. Now, researchers reporting in the August 5th issue of Cell, a Cell Press publication, unearth new molecular evidence that explains just how the brain is spared.
In studies of rapidly growing fruit fly larvae, they've traced this developmental phenomenon to the activity of a gene called Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK).
"ALK breaks the link between dietary nutrients ...
Bypassing stem cells, scientists make neurons directly from human skin
2011-08-06
Researchers have come up with a recipe for making functional neurons directly from human skin cells, including those taken from patients with Alzheimer's disease. The new method may offer a critical short cut for generating neurons for replacement therapies of the future, according to research published in the August 5th issue of the journal Cell, a Cell Press publication. Already, the converted neurons are beginning to yield insights into what goes wrong in the Alzheimer's brain and how diseased neurons might respond to treatment.
In earlier approaches to generate neurons ...
Making sperm from stem cells in a dish
2011-08-06
Researchers have found a way to turn mouse embryonic stem cells into sperm. This finding, reported in the journal Cell in a special online release on August 4th, opens up new avenues for infertility research and treatment. A Kyoto University team has coaxed mouse embryonic stem cells into sperm precursors, called primordial germ cells (PGCs), and shown that these cells can give rise to healthy sperm. The researchers say that such in vitro reconstitution of germ cell development represents one of the most fundamental challenges in biology.
When transplanted into mice ...
