DOWNERS GROVE, IL, April 25, 2012 (Press-News.org) Dr. Sandeep Jejurikar says a newly approved silicone-gel-filled breast implant increases the variety of implants available to patients, and he explains the breast augmentation options available at his plastic surgery practice near Chicago.
The new implant is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for female breast augmentation patients age 22 and older and for female breast reconstruction patients of any age.
"It's great to see how safe choices for plastic surgery procedures are expanding," Dr. Jejurikar says. "Safety is the most important factor I consider when I'm helping patients find the most effective treatments for their needs.
Dr. Jejurikar, who is a board-certified plastic surgeon near Chicago, says that although this development is an example of innovation in the plastic surgery industry, the method in which breast augmentation surgery is performed will not be affected.
"Thanks to previous breast implant options that continue to be safe and effective, such as those made by Allergan, patients have enjoyed beautiful results for many years," Dr. Jejurikar says. "While patients will now have more options for their implants, there are still many other ways that I can individualize my patients' procedures."
Dr. Jejurikar offers patients having breast augmentation near Chicago a range of options for customizing their procedures, including implant type, size and placement.
"Implant type is just one of the choices patients have when it comes to breast enhancement," Dr. Jejurikar says. "In addition, during each consultation, I explain how implant size should be determined based on a balance of cosmetic goals and body type. I also work with each patient to determine the ideal placement method and incision location to meet her particular needs."
Dr. Jejurikar works with his staff to provide optimal care for patients who undergo breast augmentation as well as any of the wide range of other surgical and non-surgical procedures he offers.
"Plastic surgery evolves to meet the needs of patients, but safety should be the top priority of any surgeon," Dr. Jejurikar says. "Before choosing an implant, I recommend that patients seek the advice of a qualified, experienced board certified plastic surgeon."
Dr. Sandeep Jejurikar is a board-certified plastic surgeon who performs cosmetic and reconstructive surgery in suburban Chicago. He received his undergraduate and medical degrees from the University of Michigan. After completing a 6-year residency at the University of Chicago Hospitals, he went on to complete 2 years of clinical fellowship training. He performs cosmetic procedures such as liposuction, tummy tuck, facelift and breast augmentation. He also performs reconstructive procedures such as breast reconstruction, scar revision, skin cancer treatment, burn reconstruction and hand surgery. He has served as president of the Illinois Society of Plastic Surgeons and is active in several other professional societies, including The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Did bone ease acid for early land crawlers?
2012-04-25
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Here's an anatomical packing list for making that historic trip from water to land circa 370 million years ago: Lungs? Check. Legs? Check. Patches of highly vascular bone in the skin? In a new paper, scientists propose why many of the earliest four-legged creatures that dared breathe on land carried bony skin features.
The "dermal bones" within the skin, especially the bones covering the skull roof and forming part of the shoulder girdle, had a highly complex surface of ridges and furrows called "dermal sculpture." The authors suggest ...

Stanford study points to potential treatment for stroke
2012-04-25
STANFORD, Calif. — Stanford University School of Medicine neuroscientists have demonstrated, in a study to be published online April 24 in Stroke, that a compound mimicking a key activity of a hefty, brain-based protein is capable of increasing the generation of new nerve cells, or neurons, in the brains of mice that have had strokes. The mice also exhibited a speedier recovery of their athletic ability.
These results are promising, because the compound wasn't administered to the animals until a full three days after they had suffered strokes, said the study's senior ...

Locked down, RNA editing yields odd fly behavior
2012-04-25
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Because a function of RNA is to be translated as the genetic instructions for the protein-making machinery of cells, RNA editing is the body's way of fine-tuning the proteins it produces, allowing us to adapt. The enzyme ADAR, which does this editing job in the nervous system of creatures ranging from mice to men, even edits itself. In a new study that examined the self-editing process and locked it down at two extremes in fruit flies, Brown University scientists found some surprising insights into how this "fine-tuning of the fine-tuner" ...
