Suchitra Sen died of Super Bug infection?

Posted: Published on January 17th, 2014

There is intense speculation about the real cause of her death that seems to have something to do with the hospital systems around the country and globe. The ICUs and ITUs of big and expensive super-specialty hospitals that provide expensive life-saving Medicare to their patients, using high-end exorbitantly expensive antibiotics, are fast turning into killing zones. Ms. Suchitra Sen's was not the first death of its kind in this hospital. There was yet another case of death just 20 days ago. A leading and highly respected Income Tax lawyer of Kolkata also breathed his last in the same hospital in exactly similar circumstances as Ms. Sen with minor variations here and there. He was admitted to the ITU in the beginning of December 2013 and he passed away 24 days later in the early morning hours after the same see-saw battle for life Ms. Suchitra Sen went through. The team of doctors in both the cases was also the same. According to the hospital sources, who may not come on record now, the cause of his death was the dreaded Super Bug about which the WHO has been issuing constant warnings to Indian hospitals and doctors. His family also confirms … Continue reading →

St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) January 17, 2014 Also called individualized or customized medicine, personalized medicine is an innovative subcategory of medicine that the FDA has recognized as topic of focus for treating diseases such as mesothelioma cancer. According to Harvard Medical Schools Partners Healthcare Center for Personalized Genetic Medicine (PCPGM), personalized medicine is the ability to determine an individual's unique molecular characteristics and to use those genetic distinctions to: Individualized diagnosis, treatment, and prevention are crucial to the fight against mesothelioma and other types of cancers, said Neil Maune, partner at MRHFM. With the FDAs support, we hope that more funding and wide-spread information about personalized medicine for patients will be accessible in the United States. In a 61-page report titled "Paving the Way for Personalized Medicine: FDA's Role" that was published on the FDAs website in October 2013, the organization states that it plans to help further personalized medicine by focusing on advanced regulatory science. Thanks to this commitment, a number of breakthroughs in genetic research have made it possible for researchers to target specific genetic mutations, which will help lead them to new and more effective mesothelioma treatments. While a traditional approach to mesothelioma treatment may very well … Continue reading →

Via surgery, mimicking celebrity looks

Posted: Published on January 17th, 2014

Deborah Davenport, with a picture of the woman she aspires to look like, actress Kate Winslet, in McKinney, Texas, Aug. 30, 2013. So far, Davenport has had procedures ranging from a nose job to Botox injections, but says she still has more to do. (Rex C. This is not a lucky roll of the genetic dice. Dean, a freelance fashion stylist in Manhattan, had surgery 13 years ago to have his visage molded to resemble, at the very least, Paradis' second cousin, if not her identical twin. "I wanted her baby face," said Dean, who is 37 but said most people guess he is in his mid-20s. "I still find her my favorite beauty of all." Magazines and websites routinely publish photographs of people who have altered their faces to look like a movie star, pop singer, Mattel product, Egyptian queen or, in the notorious and perhaps unintentional case of the socialite Jocelyn Wildenstein, a wild animal. While requests for these sorts of utter transformations do not take place every day, doctors say they do happen regularly. "About once a month, someone comes in who wants to look like a family member, friend or celebrity," said Dr. Sam Lam, a … Continue reading →
