		<description><![CDATA[ Al though the Internet is fairly new (at least to the mainstream) online shopping has grown by leaps and bounds Now you can buy almost anything you need, from food to fishing equipment, right through your computer Of course, this has meant that commerce has been forced to adapt to the changing consumer landscape and some industries have been scrambling to catch up with the crowd It is no different for the pharmaceutical industry as online pharmacies appear to be popping up everywhere you turn The prevalence of online pharmacies is a hot topic, especially when it comes to foreign-based companies selling prescription and non-prescription drugs to Americans for lower, more affordable prices But in addition to foreign-based online pharmacies are a growing number of US based companies offering medication to Americans - making it easier and more convenient to receive much needed prescription drugs What impact does this reality have on the drug industry in general and are the changes positive? The answer depends on what aspect of the industry you are involved in Essentially, pharmaceutical companies who sell their products through traditional brick-and-mortar operations are worried that online pharmacies are only going to keep growing - taking a large bite out of their piece of the pie For the most part, although the FDA and the big drug companies talk about safety issues and the legality of cross-border drug transactions, it really all comes down to money It's no wonder many companies, such as Pfizer, are threatening to restrict supply to Canadian pharmacies that sell discounted drugs to Americans in an effort to scare these pharmacies out of their revenue stream Trends do seem to point in the direction of continual growth unless something happens to dampen the excitement the online pharmaceutical industry is currently experiencing Since the 90's the industry has continued to flourish For example, sales of Canadian drugs to US citizens alone have skyrocketed over the billion dollar mark in the past few years and all signs point to this trend enduring In addition, although these numbers only represent a dollar volume of 035% of the total annual US prescription drug market, if Americans continue to use online pharmacies to fill their prescription drug needs it will have a big impact on the industry as a whole And of course, countries such as Canada are enjoying the benefits of a large consumer base that has a reason to bring their business north Many American online pharmacies even offer customers the option of obtaining Canadian drugs for lower prices through their sites As you can see, people are being given more choices than ever before when it comes to buying prescription medications Much of the power to control drug prices is slowly being taken away from the pharmaceutical companies and put into the hands of the people that matter the most - the consumers Organized pharmacy groups are beginning to voice concern over the practice as they see the economic consequences of such a trend, and the whole idea of drug distribution, as well as how certain goods, services and funds are transferred across the border The main reason many people are flocking to online pharmacies is to save money If the pharmaceutical industry wants to stay on top of things and keep customers buying the drugs they need through US sources, they will need to change with the times by facilitating the introduction of more online pharmacies that cater to the US market from within the US They will also need to be open to more competition within the marketplace, and most importantly, make it more affordable for the average American to purchase the prescriptions they require It is clear that online pharmacies, both foreign and those based in the US, are in a position to benefit from an ever-increasing amount of business Individually, consumers save money on drugs and can afford to put more money into the economy through other industries Online pharmacies usually offer more choices especially in the way of generic drugs, and make it extremely easy for patients to obtain the prescription drugs they seek Some senior citizens find it more convenient to shop online than venture out to the local pharmacy At the same time, most people still choose to go the traditional route and buy their drugs in their own neighborhood, which still takes up the largest part of the market While online pharmacies are growing at an exponential rate, it will still be some time before a major shift from buying locally to buying online occurs that will drastically alter the way the pharmaceutical industry functions In the meantime, consumers will no doubt continue to consider the options that are most economically beneficial to them ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ There is a huge concern in the medical industry that if a biological weapon were released that those sick might come to the hospitals in such large numbers that before you realized an attack had occurred everyone in every nearby hospital would also be infected Then of course the hospital itself would be rendered useless and all those already in the hospital no matter what the reason would literally condemned The biggest issue with this is that those places we have available to help our populations stay well would be immediately and totally useless For some background on the World Think Tank discussion and on-going subject of bio-terrorism control and isolation, please see this page: http://worldthinktanknet/wttbbs/indexphp?showtopic=153 One of our Think Tank Members considering this and having worked in the medical field almost three decades and understanding the very fast moving technologies and innovation in robotics had contemplated the use of robotics in the event of a bio-terrorist act Today modern hospitals have all kinds of robotic type technologies and are very leading edge with their devices These state of the art devices make hospital robotics even more possible Swift in Montana writes in this solution during our online discussion of robotic advances: “One of the best places for them to work would be in hospitals that have infectious disease floors where communicable diseases are treated They would be able to administer medications, check on the vitals of the patients, IV flow rates etc without anyone risking their own health Should there be a flu pandemic this would really help to keep the numbers down as would having robots to keep the area sterilized and as germ free as possible Sensors could be built into them to determine when there was a certain level of particulates in the air for those with contagious lung issues and a robot could move around and clean the viruses from the air” When further discussion of tele-robotics came up as one of the incredible advances of robotics in medicine and what that technology has meant for NASA applications in repairs of Hubble Telescope, Satellites, ISS or pre-flighting the Shuttle for safe return it was determined that such technology could also be used in hospitals for outbreaks when operations and surgery were to be done Since no person would risk infection, while we learned what the problem was and how to cope with it For instance a bio-situation or bio-terrorist attack in the middle east somewhere could be diagnosed, isolated and prevented from spreading while our CDC here and other scientists around the world tuned into the procedure, thus using the brains of many to solve the now isolated bio threat from afar Swift from Montana further discusses other possible issues with bio-terrorism, namely that if the bio-terrorist see that their attack is not working they might seek to do further acts of International Terror and has these comments to offer: “Perhaps the issue of doing surgery in another country would not mean that the physician would actually have to travel there He could operate the controls, while a staff from that country assisted in the procedure thus eliminating the possibility of being kidnapped or tortured for humanitarian efforts Maybe the residents of the country would look at what they were doing if the only entities that would come anywhere near them were machines If a machine was captured, it could blow everyone up and eliminate several problems at one time Robots would certain be effective in teaching people many skills that they might not have the opportunity to learn The most successful programs in Third World Countries have always been those that teach the citizens how to do something that will take care of their own—‘the teach a person to fish principle’ The most basic surgeries could easily be handled in sterile, relatively primitive situations Medications to control infection and pain would be all that was needed afterwards Lasers could be built in so that scalpels would not always need to be used Thus keltoid scars that often don't heal well on darker skins could be minimized” Computer modeling shows that if you can quickly diagnose and then isolate a situation such as an outbreak in those first crucial hours, then what could have turned into a pandemic turns into a controllable and conquerable problem "Lance Winslow" - Online Think Tank forum board If you have innovative thoughts and unique perspectives, come think with Lance; wwwWorldThinkTanknet/wttbbs/ ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Charleston, SC 3/24/05- After 13 years of marriage, a Florida man divorces his wife and sues her, claiming his wife’s 2 to 3 pack-a-day smoking habit caused him to contract life-threatening lung cancer in Palm Beach (case id 501997CA01158XXONAN) When the effects of secondhand smoke becomes so bad that a husband is willing to sue his ex-wife, a woman he once loved, people must begin to open their eyes to the dangers and liabilities caused by secondhand tobacco smoke exposure Heather Crowe is from Ottawa and has worked in the restaurant business for over 40 years as a waitress In 2002, the Ottawa Citizen reported that she was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer that she claims was caused by her constant exposure to secondhand smoke as a result of her working at the restaurant Heather filed for workers compensation due to her illness hoping that this would urge lawmakers to enforce stricter codes to protect workers in the hospitality industry from exposure to secondhand cigarette smoke Currently, most state and provincial laws limit smoking areas to a small percentage of the usable floor space of the hospitality establishment; however, this does not guarantee workers, or patrons, are protected from the harmful byproducts of the secondhand smoke Everyday, people in the hospitality industry go to work and are exposed to significant amounts of secondhand smoke Restaurant servers, bartenders, and even hotel employees are forced to stifle their concerns about having to work while being exposed to a patron’s secondhand smoke for fear of losing their jobs Secondhand cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 potential poisons and most are chemicals not even studied by the FDA Of those 4,000 toxic chemicals, 69 are KNOWN cancer causing agents A nonsmoker who works in a smoking environment has a 26% increased risk of developing lung cancer Additionally, secondhand smoke exposure has been linked to esophageal, throat, and mouth cancer and in the United States alone, over 65,000 deaths a year are linked to secondhand smoke related illnesses Due to this dramatic rise in secondhand smoke related deaths (3,000 deaths just ten years ago) more and more hospitality industry employers are being held liable for these sicknesses, losing millions of dollars as a result of these lawsuits Many states have implemented non-smoking laws in most or all public buildings Other states have enforced stricter building codes requiring effective air purification or ventilation systems in order to reduce secondhand smoke exposure Dr Craig Donnelly, a smoke eater industry expert and founder of BPA Air Quality Solutions states, "According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the 3 best methods for reducing indoor air pollution are: 1 Source Control: Eliminate or control the sources of pollution; 2 Ventilation: Dilute and exhaust pollutants through outdoor air ventilation, and 3 Air Cleaning: Remove pollutants through proven air cleaning methods Source control and ventilation are usually not viable options because most hospitality establishments do not restrict smoking 100% and ventilation’ can be extremely expensive due the energy cost associated with ventilating warm or air conditioned air to the outdoors" “Air cleaning”, Dr Donnelly continues, “is the method of choice for a large percentage of hospitality businesses using 'smoke eaters', a class of air purifications products designed to remove smoke particles, odors and toxic gasses from the indoor air” Using the correct smoke air purification equipment in the hospitality industry will significantly improve the indoor air quality potentially reducing cancer causing pollutants produced by secondhand smoke “We have noticed that employers who install an effective smoke eater air cleaning system in their place of business have employees and patrons who frequently acknowledge the marked improvement with the indoor air quality and they (employees and patrons) also acknowledge that symptoms associated with breathing in second hand tobacco smoke such as coughing and irritated eyes are dramatically reduced” - Dr Craig Donnely For Information: http://wwwbreathepureaircom or info@breathepureaircom phone: 1-877-688-2703 About the Author Dr Craig Donnelly founded BPA Air Quality Solutions / BreathePureAircom as a result of his experience with his patients, many of whom suffered from allergies, asthma and airborne environmental sensitivities Having been diagnosed with asthma himself, Dr Craig understood about the origin of the health consequences many of his patients experienced on a daily basis from breathing contaminated indoor air BreathePureAircom specializes in home air purifiers, commercial air cleaner systems and industrial air purifiers solutions Dr Donnelly and his staff test, rate and review a complete selection of air purifiers and air cleaners, commercial smoke eaters, industrial mist eliminators, dust collectors and collection systems, fume extractors extraction, UV sterilizers and laser particle counters from around the world ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ The virus that causes bird flu appears to be versatile and resilient Scientists are working on a new vaccine that would be effective against the new strain of the virus that causes Bird flu There are different subtypes and strains of the virus that causes bird flu, and some cause more severe disease than others Results of the examinations for the H5N1 virus that causes bird flu are be announced later on Sunday, officials said Certainly the virus that causes bird flu could mutate so that it could be transmitted from human to human A new type of a virus that causes bird flu appeared in Japan, Reuters announced Do not assume that any form of bird flu killed the ducks or geese, because these birds can die from many other causes poultry industry tests continuously to make sure the virus that causes Asian bird flu doesn't get a foothold in commercial poultry flocks At present, the virus that causes Asian bird flu does not easily infect humans The H5N1 virus which causes bird flu struck a human being for the first time in 1997 It appears that the H5N1 bird-flu virus causes a massive immunological response against the virus in those with the strongest immune systems An influenza outbreak among birds occurs when the virus causes serious illness or death and is spread from bird to bird Migratory water fowl, and ducks in particular, carry the virus that causes bird flu This bird flu strain mutates rapidly, easily mixes with viruses from other species and causes severe disease in humans The Bird Flu virus causes severe flu-like symptoms in people and may result in death Proper cooking kills the virus that causes bird flu An 18-year-old man became the ninth person in Vietnam to die after contracting the H5N1 virus, which causes bird flu Turkish health ministry officials confirmed that in seven cases of ill individuals, the virus identified was the one that causes bird flu For three reasons: 1They don't change because unlike humans birds don't have immunity towards influenza which causes them no reason to mutate Infection with bird flu viruses in domestic poultry causes two main forms of disease that are distinguished by low and high extremes of virulence ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Penis Size There are few men out there who have not at least once in their lifetime ever taken out a ruler and measured their male member A quick peek through history will tell you, poets, philosophers, writers and artists alike have all tried to define the average and above average penis size measure for manhood Erotic art is full of examples of exaggerated manhood, because it is generally believed that the penis mirrors a guy's sexual power and vigor It's not difficult to see why bigger is still thought to be better even in this so-called new millennium So going back to the age-old question; "does penis size really matter?" Both men and women alike are desperate to know what really gives Men are equally obsessed, if not more so, with their penis size as women are with their breast size In fact a lot of them are keen on finding out ways to make their member larger That explains why the penis enlargement industry is booming by leaps and bounds, offering everything from cream, pills, traction devices, and even surgery The media and the fanatical stories of 'well-endowed' men have probably contributed to the already bizarre subject of penis size Studies show that the average penis size is not the 12" poles being bandied about in porn Actually average is between 55 to 64 inches in erect length and 47 to 52 inches in girth Now there's one myth that needs to be put to rest: penis size is completely unrelated to height or hand, feet, and nose size simply because there is no bone in the penis You probably heard it from countless women that "it's not the size that matters but how you use it" Though the length of the penis has not much to do with sexual pleasure, girth on the other hand may indeed matter in the long run As what some reproductive therapists explain countless times, it has something to do with stimulating our G-spot which is supposed to be located about two inches inside the upper wall of the vagina Anyway, personal preference is still based on the individual woman, some may like big while others small When we ask a woman what does she prefer over penis length and penis girth, Courtney (not her real name), said that she likes her partner to have "meatier" penis, meaning fuller penis She said that the nerves in her vaginal walls (located near the entrance of the vagina and the anus) are better stimulated during intercourse Thus, girth might be significant here given that a meatier penis can stretch out the vaginal or anal walls that stimulate the nerves This creates friction and sensation that most women crave during intercourse She further added that even though the penis is the vital equipment in love making, it's also the combination of skill, passion and romance that heightens the sensation regardless of penis size To say that men who have a small penis size are no good in the sack is a hasty generalization and just short of discriminating In general, women are more concern about the man's entire package, rather than just the one between their thighs Women also seek passion, intimacy and emotional connection Try to show her your love by giving her flowers, a sensual massage, or a bath with rose petals ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This April the Government is forcing a new service contract on dentists that includes a new pay scale, changes to their working hours and surgery arrangements Now dentists are not a cantankerous profession, but there's widespread irritation and disillusionment amongst them at the Governments seemingly heavy-handed action And they're determined not to be pushed around As a result thousands of dentists are registering their refusal to accept the new contract and have given their notice to quit the NHS at the end of March This will create mayhem for clients Many seeking treatment on the NHS will be simply turned away Those dentists who do accept the new NHS contract will then face a flood of new clients seeking treatment The vast majority will again be turned away as even before this bust up, there was a dire shortage of dentists Waiting lists are bound to be a mile long No, sorry, two miles long! As a result, if you are desperate for treatment to a broken tooth or an abscess, you'll be forced to search out a community based dental surgery operated by the NHS itself Ask your Doctor for directions to the closest to you The odds are they'll be miles away This means a long journey plus a hospital style queue on arrival Getting dental treatment will simply take all day! For many, private dentistry is the only alternative Going private means you'll get an appointment when you want one rather than waiting for ages with the NHS, and you can pick and choose your dentist But it can be expensive The only good news is that there are solutions to keep costs under control You essentially have three key options: dental insurance, capitalisation schemes or cash plans Dental Insurance The insurance industry has responded with a whole host of varying dental insurance policies The following are just some typical examples: Western Provident has been in the dental insurance market for many years Its Providential policy provides a basic level of dentistry cover with fixed monthly premiums For those aged 18 to 49 the premium is £1248 and £1590 per month for those between 50 and 69 Policyholders have to pay the first 25% of each treatment but can claim up to £250 per year towards routine treatment including check-ups, visits to the hygienist and fillings Emergency dental treatment can be claimed up to £1,000 per year but cover for accidental dental injury is limited to £250 per treatment £6 per month gets you basic dental insurance with Universal Provident Their policy insures you for up to £1,000 per year for routine work but it won't pay for check-ups Accidental damage up to £1,000 per year and dental emergencies are insured up to £5,000 per year Many policies also limit the number of dental treatments they'll pay each year For example, the policy from Boot's limits your claims to two check-ups, one crown and four fillings a year up to £500 Boot's policies start at £9 per month Capitalisation Schemes This is the most expensive option Prior to taking up the policy, your dentist has to make an assessment of your dental health and places you in one of five treatment groups This will determine how much your scheme costs The better your dental condition, the less you pay For example, Denplan's dental care scheme costs between £9 and £30 per month We are told that their average fee is £16 Cash Plans The last alternative is a composite health cash plan These pay out for dentistry but also a wide range of other health treatments such as optical treatment, hospital treatment, physiotherapy, chiropody even allergy testing Each policy spells out exactly what is covered and the maximum value you can claim to for each kind of health treatment You have plenty of choice as most cash plans offer three or four grades of benefit level The more you pay, the more you can claim Some plans allow you to reclaim 100% of the cost up to the annual maximum set for each health category, some will only pay a proportion of the cost With cash plans, the maximum cover for dentistry tends to be in the range of £70 to £200 per year depending on the company you choose and the option you go for For examples of cash plans, visit wwwsecurehealthcouk and wwwhsacouk Click on “cash plans” when you get there How to get top value in Dental cover As with most types of insurance, you'll get it cheapest on the Internet Search for “dental insurance” but use the couk variant of your search engine – otherwise you'll come up with masses of American sites! The best UK sites to visit are those that either enable you to compare plans or those operated by a specialist dental insurance broker With brokers, you submit your details and they'll come back to you with the options and best dental policies available for you If you do want to go direct to an insurance company, you can still do it on the Internet - but it's unlikely that you'll stumble on exactly the best policy for you amongst the many hundreds available And the broker may well be cheaper It will come as no surprise that we recommend the broker route! ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Many people are switching to the freedom and convenience of contact lenses If you're thinking of switching from glasses to contact lenses, here are often several questions to ask: Question: Why would I want to switch from glasses to contact lenses? Contact lenses can be a lot more work than glasses because they require to be cleaned and disinfected periodically However, contact lenses allow you to wear sunglasses, if you want They are also ideal for people who want to play sports but whose glasses could potentially be damaged during play Question: What kind of contact lenses are there? There are different kinds of contact lenses You can choose soft contact lenses or hard contact lenses Hard contact lenses need to be worn regularly in order to keep your eyes used to the shape and feel of the lens But you can't wear hard lenses for too long at one time because some hard lenses are non-permeable and do not allow oxygen to get to your eyes Check with your optometrist if you have hard lenses to see how long they recommend you wear them for Soft lenses vary greatly Some are for daily use Others can be worn for a few days before they need to be removed Talk to your optometrist about the different options available since you may find that one kind is better for you than another Question: How much work are contact lenses]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Copyright 2006 Anne Wolski The epidemic of smoking-related diseases is one that only the potential victims can abolish Smoking is among the most common habits in the Western world and this dangerous habit will kill a large number of those who engage in it It is amazing to think that people would continue to smoke after their first experimental cigarette which causes coughing and nausea However, the majority of smokers enjoy the taste and smell of tobacco smoke and so they continue on with this potentially lethal habit Sometimes the ritual of smoking creates pleasure and relaxation itself For some people, it is a social habit and makes them feel part of the crowd This is particularly so of people who are shy Having something to do with their hands when in company helps them to appear more in control and self-confident Smokers say that smoking settles their nerves when they are stressed Some say it also stimulates them and, in both cases, there is some truth This is due to the nicotine or more precisely, the dose of nicotine as well as other factors There is also a genuine physical addiction to nicotine so that when the person concerned is not able to get the drug, he or she suffers from withdrawal symptoms which are relieved only by having another cigarette A person can have a psychological addiction to smoking as well as the physical addiction Although the person does not really need that cigarette, he or she misses the perceived enjoyment it used to bring It has often become such an ingrained habit that the smoker lights up automatically without any thought about it In recent years, public opinion against smoking has resulted in policies to restrict the areas where smokers can engage in their habit Many hotels, restaurants, shopping centres and workplaces have become no-smoking zones In many places, governments are claiming damages from the billion-dollar tobacco industry to finance the ever growing costs of healthcare for smoking-related diseases There is definitely a strong correlation between children's smoking and the smoking habits of parents and older siblings The family bond and the desire to be like their parents is the likely cause of this As young children, many are very disapproving of their parents smoking habits but by the early teens, their thinking begins to change Often, these young people identify drinking and smoking with the ideal of being an adult Early studies just after World War II, concluded that the main cause of lung cancer was definitely cigarette smoking After comparing a number of variables, it was concluded that only one in two hundred male lung cancer patients were nonsmokers with a similar level of statistics found among women Other conclusions were that the chances of dying from lung cancer increased with heavier smoking habits More recent studies have shown that smoking is also a contributory factor in diseases such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and coronary heart disease It has also been shown that smokers generally live a shorter lifespan than nonsmokers Many people are unaware that it is the toxic substances in the vaporized tar that causes the damage to smokers rather than the nicotine These tars contain thousands of toxic chemicals, some of which are known carcinogenics Other interesting factors include the fact that smokers are twice as likely to die before retirement age as nonsmokers There is also some evidence that filter-tipped cigarettes reduce the risk of disease minimally but not enough to consider them a safe option Another area of great concern is that of passive smoking Studies have shown that the cigarette smoke drifting from the burning end of a cigarette contains twice as much carcinogenic tar as that inhaled by the smoker The risks to an unborn baby of a smoking mother are also something of which people need to be aware These mothers have a higher rate of miscarriages and stillbirths than do nonsmoking mothers Giving up the cigarettes is easier said than done There are many products available which may help but, ultimately, it is a battle that the smoker needs to fight for him or her self Resisting the temptation to have a cigarette, particularly in times of stress, is crucial Many people give up over and over again but end up back on the smokes For this reason, it is important to have a plan and to decide, once and for all, that it is the time to give it up No one is saying it will be easy but millions give up every year so it can be done ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Breast implant surgery has been embraced by millions of women around the globe, despite the medical and social controversies surrounding the procedure Women's' breasts since time immemorial have been eye candy for men and a source of pride for women No wonder, it has also been the inspiration for much beauty in literature Breast enhancement is the buzzword of the cosmetic plastic surgery industry and breast implants have been heralded and desired by women of every shape, size, and financial background Also called mammoplasty, a breast implant procedure increases the volume of the breast(s) by the placement of an implant within the chest, behind each breast Changes as a result of weight loss, childbirth, and aging can lead a woman to the decision to undergo a breast implant procedure And although the safety of the breast implants has been questioned in the past, recent research has concluded that saline breast implants are safe to use and to receive What is Breast Implant Surgery? Breast implants surgery is the planting of prosthesis to enhance the size and shape of a woman's breasts or to reconstruct the breast Of the four types of breast implants, saline (salt water) filled implants are now the most popular, and regarded as the safest, in cosmetic surgery circles Breast Implants Surgery - Before the Implants In the initial consultation, the physician will be looking to determine whether a patient is the best candidate for the breast implant procedure An extensive medical history will be taken, as well as medical tests to determine the patient's current health status Before the breast implant surgery, the surgeon must have a comprehensive overview of the patient's health - so it is necessary that any problems, or medications, or recreational drug use be disclosed at this appointment Some patients' history may preclude them from undergoing the breast implants procedure, or at least need to be scheduled at a later date when health issues and habits have been resolved Breast Implants Surgery - Who are they for? The best candidate for breast implants is a woman that has completed the growth process--usually the age of 18 is determined to be the cutoff age And women who are not pregnant or breastfeeding are also good candidates for breast implants Patients should also be in good health and not planning significant weight loss Any of these factors can change the intended results of the breast implants Breast Implants Surgery - The Procedure The breast implants procedure is usually done under general anesthesia, or when the patient is 'asleep' The implant is inserted through a small incision, with hardly any scar that can be noticed Sometimes the incision for the breast implants is underneath the breast, or it may be within the lower edge of the areola, or it may be in the armpit area so as to avoid any scars in the breast region After the incision is made, the surgeon opens a pocket under the natural breast where the breast implant will be placed Once the implant is in place, then the incision is closed and the next breast is done, if necessary Breast Implants Surgery - Risks and Complications Breast implants have always been frowned upon by medical professionals and moral police But there are real risks associated with breast implants The most recent controversy is that of implants filled with a silicone gel, so many physicians are using implants that are filled with a saline solution instead In the rare occurrence the implant is punctured and the contents are released, the saline solution is reabsorbed by the body without adverse effects With silicone implants, some patients have reported disastrous effects from the breakage of the silicone filled breast implants It seems that the silicone can induce the body's immune system to respond and it can cause a type of chronic autoimmune disease in some Other possible complications include the same as with any surgery: reactions from the anesthesia during the receiving of the breast implants, infection, slippage of the implant, and patient dissatisfaction with the results ]]></description>
