MANCHESTER, ENGLAND, June 30, 2012 (Press-News.org) An online cosmetic surgery resource has highlighted the benefits of breast augmentation surgery. According to Cosmetic Surgery Guru - which provides information and advice about surgical and non-surgical procedures - boob jobs can give patients a confidence boost and are more than just a cosmetic treatment.
A spokeswoman for the site, Isabella Franklin, said: "Breasts are an important part of the female anatomy and many women feel inadequate if they're flat chested. Surgery offers a safe and reliable alternative to natural beauty and can do wonders for peoples' self-esteem."
She continued: "Recent statistics from The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons has revealed that breast augmentations are the most popular type of cosmetic surgery in the UK. A total of 10,015 women had their busts boosted in 2011 alone and this proves operations of this kind are in high demand."
Interestingly, Manchester-based research appears to back up the view that chesty women feel more confident. In the first study of its kind, scientists found that push-up bras make women 75 per cent more confident in day-to-day life.
A total of 60 video recordings were made of female participants aged between 20 and 55. Footage was compared of them wearing normal lingerie and push-up lingerie and the results were surprising. Smiling (associated with confidence) increased by 73 per cent in women wearing uplifting bras and breaking eye contact (associated with low confidence) decreased by 41 per cent.
Commenting on the study Isabella Franklin said: "Sassy lingerie is a great alternative to those who can't bear the thought of surgery. Nevertheless, breast augmentations last for a long time and can make a lady feel extremely feminine."
Cosmetic Surgery Guru encourages anyone wishing to have cosmetic surgery to consult a reputable surgeon at a respectable clinic.

Success of fertility treatment may approach natural birth rate
2012-06-29
EAST LANSING, Mich. — A groundbreaking study of nearly 250,000 U.S. women reveals live birth rates approaching natural fertility can be achieved using assisted reproductive technology, where eggs are removed from a woman's ovaries, combined with sperm and then returned to the woman's body.
The research, led by Michigan State University's Barbara Luke and published in the New England Journal of Medicine, highlights what factors help or hinder getting pregnant using assisted reproductive technology, or ART. The results indicate that when there are favorable patient and ...

NASA observes the Waldo Canyon Fire, Colorado
2012-06-29
NASA satellites continue to provide coverage of the smoke and heat signatures generated from wildfires raging in the western United States. The Waldo Canyon Fire is threatening populated areas, and is located near Colorado Springs, Colo.
The Waldo Canyon Fire was discovered on June 23, 2012, burning in Pike National Forest near Colorado Springs, Colorado. By June 27, it had burned 15,517 acres (6,280 hectares), was 5 percent contained, and had forced at least 32,000 people to evacuate their homes.
Don Savage, retired from NASA and residing in Colorado, captured photographs ...
New animal model for rheumatoid arthritis
2012-06-29
(CHICAGO) - Researchers at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine have created the first animal model that spontaneously develops rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is predisposed towards atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries.
This model is considered of critical importance because patients with RA are at increased risk for heart attack and other premature cardiovascular events, but scientists don't know why.
"Generally, people with RA die because of cardiovascular disease," said Harris Perlman, associate professor of rheumatology at Feinberg, who ...
Concerns over cost of dengue vaccine lessened with new study
2012-06-29
Research funded by the Dengue Vaccine Initiative (DVI) involving an economic analysis of producing a tetravalent dengue vaccine shows that the cost could be as low as $0.20 per dose with an annual production level of 60 million doses packaged in ten-dose vials. The study used data on a vaccine developed by US NIH and the facilities of the Instituto Butantan in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
These findings, published in the July 6, 2012 edition of Vaccine, should provide confidence to ministries of health that they can aggressively plan for the inclusion of dengue vaccine in their ...
Mayo Clinic uses new approach to reverse multiple sclerosis in mice models
2012-06-29
ROCHESTER, Minn. -- Mayo Clinic researchers have successfully used smaller, folded DNA molecules to stimulate regeneration and repair of nerve coatings in mice that mimic multiple sclerosis (MS). They say the finding, published today in the journal PLoS ONE, suggests new possible therapies for MS patients.
"The problem has been to find a way to encourage the nervous system to regenerate its own myelin (the coating on the nerves) so nerve cells can recover from an MS attack," says L. James Maher III, Ph.D., Mayo Clinic biochemist and senior author on the paper. "We ...
Probing the roots of depression by tracking serotonin regulation at a new level
2012-06-29
In a process akin to belling an infinitesimal cat, scientists have managed to tag a protein that regulates the neurotransmitter serotonin with tiny fluorescent beads, allowing them to track the movements of single molecules for the first time.
The capability, which took nearly a decade to achieve, makes it possible to study the dynamics of serotonin regulation at a new level of detail, which is important because of the key role that serotonin plays in the regulation of mood, appetite and sleep.
The achievement was reported by an interdisciplinary team of Vanderbilt scientists ...
Sensitive test helps improve vaccine safety
2012-06-29
Salmonella Typhi (S. Typhi) is the causative agent of typhoid fever, a serious health threat resulting in some 22 million new cases yearly and approximately 217,000 fatalities. A number of novel vaccine candidates using live attenuated strains of Salmonella are being developed, but care must be taken to ensure the bacteria are not excreted into the environment following vaccination.
Karen Brenneman and her colleagues at Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute have been examining ways to detect the presence of S. Typhi in stool following inoculation with various ...
TB treatment paradox: Mouse studies show body's own response helps TB bacteria survive
2012-06-29
Inhibiting a key immune response in mice during initial multi-drug treatment for tuberculosis could — paradoxically — shorten treatment time for the highly contagious lung infection according to new research from Johns Hopkins Children's Center and the Center for TB Research.
Shorter duration of drug therapy is key, researchers say, to increase treatment compliance for the growing global health threat posed by the disease.
In experiments described in the June 27 issue of PLoS ONE, the Johns Hopkins investigators compared a group of TB-infected mice receiving standard ...
Specialized MRI scans assess value of anti-cancer chemotherapy long before tumors shown to shrink
2012-06-29
Studies on some 55 U.S. men and women with potentially deadly liver or pancreatic cancers show that specialized MRI scans can tell within a month whether highly toxic chemotherapy is working and killing tumor cells long before tumors actually shrink – or fail to shrink.
Using special software and MRI scanners, imaging experts at Johns Hopkins developed their new assay, known as a volumetric functional MRI scan, by exploiting the physiological differences in water movement and absorption inside cancer cells that are dying and those that are not.
The studies are believed ...
