HOUSTON, TX, April 23, 2012 (Press-News.org) The removal of skin cancer is a necessary and often life-saving procedure. There are several types of skin cancer, many of which can turn lymphatic before spreading to other areas of your body if not taken care of promptly. Because skin cancer is caused by exposure to UV rays, the face and neck are frequently impacted by these growths.
Great care is taken by your surgeon when removing skin cancer. This is in an attempt to minimize any damage to surrounding, healthy tissue, and to help ensure your cancer removal does not disfigure your features more than necessary. However, even with the greatest care, scars left by cancer removal will still be obvious, and may cause you to feel self-conscious, or unbecoming. This is where skin cancer reconstruction can play a pivotal role.
Skin Cancer Reconstruction
Following skin cancer removal, an experienced plastic surgeon can offer you several options for reconstructing the area, and eliminating any evidence of cancer removal. It is a good idea to contact a plastic surgeon prior to having your skin cancer removed to allow them a chance to determine what may be necessary in your case.
Your plastic surgeon and doctor should work together to determine when the best time for your reconstruction will be. It is important to select an experienced, board-certified reconstructive surgeon who will work with your doctor to ensure your safety and comfort during all parts of your procedure.
The most common methods used to reconstruct facial imperfections brought about by cancer removal are:
- Flap techniques
- Graft techniques
The method your plastic surgeon chooses will depend on factors including the condition of your underlying skin, your doctor's input, and the amount of skin that was impacted by skin cancer removal. Your plastic surgeon will take these things into consideration, and suggest the method he feels will most benefit you.
Skin cancer removal is necessary, the impact it has to your appearance is not. With techniques that can be customized for each patient, your plastic surgeon will be able to provide you with a smooth, blemish-free appearance after your surgery without increasing your risks for a reoccurrence of skin cancer.
If you have, or need to have skin cancer removed from any part of your body, and live in or around Houston, Katy, Sugar Land, or The Woodlands, Texas, please visit the website of double board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Haresh Yalamanchili at the Belage Center for Facial Plastic Surgery for more information about our reconstructive services at www.houstonfacialsurgeon.com.

Controlling heat flow with atomic-level precision
2012-04-23
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Through a combination of atomic-scale materials design and ultrafast measurements, researchers at the University of Illinois have revealed new insights about how heat flows across an interface between two materials.
The researchers demonstrated that a single layer of atoms can disrupt or enhance heat flow across an interface. Their results are published this week in Nature Materials.
Improved control of heat exchange is a key element to enhancing the performance of current technologies such as integrated circuits and combustion engines as well ...

Changes in brain's blood flow could cause 'brain freeze'
2012-04-23
SAN DIEGO— 'Brain freeze' is a nearly universal experience—almost everyone has felt the near-instantaneous headache brought on by a bite of ice cream or slurp of ice-cold soda on the upper palate. However, scientists are still at a loss to explain this phenomenon. Since migraine sufferers are more likely to experience brain freeze than people who don't have this often-debilitating condition, brain freeze may share a common mechanism with other types of headaches, including those brought on by the trauma of blast-related combat injuries in soldiers. One possible link between ...
Climate change may create price volatility in the corn market, say Stanford and Purdue researchers
2012-04-23
By the time today's elementary schoolers graduate from college, the U.S. corn belt could be forced to move to the Canadian border to escape devastating heat waves brought on by rising global temperatures. If farmers don't move their corn north, the more frequent heat waves could lead to bigger swings in corn prices – "price volatility" – which cause spikes in food prices, farmers' incomes and the price livestock farmers and ethanol producers pay for corn.
A study published April 22 in the journal Nature Climate Change shows for the first time climate change's outsized ...

Treatment to benefit African infants at risk of endemic fever
2012-04-23
Thousands of pre-school children in Africa could benefit from access to treatment for an endemic disease, after tests showed infants to be at high risk of infection.
Researchers tested hundreds of children aged between one and five in countries in sub-Saharan Africa where snail fever – also known as bilharzia or schistosomiasis – is endemic. Currently, infants are not regularly tested for infection as they are perceived to be at low risk of exposure to the water-borne disease and not to suffer severely from its ill-effects.
Scientists showed that in fact, infection ...
