Barriers to Accessing Medical Care for Hispanic Individuals With Craniofacial Conditions
In the United States, having limited access to health care has been an ongoing concern that could cause detrimental effects for minority populations, specifically the Hispanic population. Numerous barriers to accessing health care were identified for both pediatric and adult Hispanic patients who were born with craniofacial conditions. Barriers that were determined to impact Hispanic patients with craniofacial conditions from receiving medical and health services included language and communication, patient–health care provider relationships, socioeconomic status and finances, insurance status, timely access to appointme...

Review of the Use of Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Treatment of Alopecia
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a new approach in dermatology and there is evidence to suggest that it provides excellent adjuvant treatment for nonscarring alopecia cases. There is evidence supporting the hypothesis that PRP therapy increases hair growth and thickness in patients with nonscarring alopecia. Studies including participants with scarring alopecia are limited and larger scale studies with tighter controls in PRP preparation, administration, and follow-up are needed to determine whether this is a clinically sound approach. Further symptom control analysis is also warranted as in both single and combinatio...

Embryonic Stem Cell Research: A Policy Analysis
Many health care issues generate minimal passion, promoting benign commentary and support from the various stakeholders involved. Stem cell research does not fall into this category, and on the contrary, embryonic stem cell (ESC) research has continued to foster controversy and emotion. Since 1998, which marked the first successful laboratory isolation of ESCs, this research continues to ignite moral, ethical, and legal debate over its efficacy. The focus of this policy analysis is to introduce the issues, examine and address the various perspectives that surround ESC research, and present policy options and/or solutions t...

AbobotulinumtoxinA for Facial Rejuvenation: What Affects the Duration of Efficacy?
AbobotulinumtoxinA (Dysport) has a long history as a safe and effective treatment option for aesthetic rejuvenation. One of the key measures of botulinum toxin efficacy is the persistence of clinically meaningful results. The duration of efficacy depends on different factors, many of which can be controlled by the clinician to better achieve their desired results. In this review, we discuss how dose, individual patient variation, and injection technique affect the duration of botulinum toxins. Increased duration may result from increased dose or more precise placement of the toxin in the muscle. The varying anatomy and beh...

The Effect of Reduction Mammaplasty on Body Posture: A Preliminary Study
The objective of this study was to evaluate whether reduction mammaplasty can influence the posture of women. The postures of women with breast hypertrophy were evaluated using postural assessment software and photographic recording performed on the day of surgery and 3 months after the procedure. After surgical breast reduction, the patients had statistically significant changes in their postural patterns related to the horizontal alignment of the anterosuperior iliac spines and the angle of the acromion and anterior superior iliac spines. The analysis of the results showed statistically significant data on postural chang...

Reconstruction of Middle-Third Helical Traumatic Defects With a Two-Stage Approach: Retroauricular Flap and Costal Graft
In this article, we describe the case of a patient suffering from middle-third helical rim avulsion after a bicycle accident, which was reconstructed with a two-stage procedure: (1) performing a postauricular pedicled flap and (2) reconstruction using a costal graft. The article also includes a brief summary of recommendations in the scientific literature about the reconstruction of middle-third auricular defects. (Source: Plastic Surgical Nursing)

Ageism in Nursing
Stereotypes of older adults and assumptions of old age as a time of dependency and vulnerability affect not only how older adults are perceived and treated by society, but how they are treated by members of the nursing profession as well. When nurses display ageist attitudes, it can be harmful to older patients both physically and emotionally. In this review article the author describes some of the literature related to ageism in nursing, discusses how ageism can affect the quality of the care that is provided to older adult patients, and explains theories that may help explain ageism in nursing.
