Breast Lift T Incision Procedure
A mastopexy or breast lift is a surgical procedure performed to reshape the breast and return it to a more youthful position. Drooping of the breast may occur after pregnancy as well as aging. Frequently a breast implant may be used in conjunction with a breast lift in order to achieve better results. Depending on the amount of breast lifting that needs to be accomplished, different techniques may be used that involve different incisions. Generally, the more lifting that is required, the larger the incision (and therefore the scar).
The T-incision usually achieves the greatest amount of breast lifting. However, it also requires the largest incisions that go around the aereola, down the breast and under the breast.
The appropriate amount of skin is removed.
The breast tissue is tightened with internal sutures. External suture is used to close the skin around the areola, down the breast, and under the breast.
Healing time may take several weeks. A special bra is usually worn to support the breast for up to three months. The compression bra is an important part of the recovery process. The bra provides support, comfort and helps to minimize swelling.

- According to PharmaLive, the FDA has approved abatacept (Orencia®) for reducing signs and symptoms of moderately to severely active polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) in paediatric patients aged six years and above. It may be used as monotherapy or concomitantly with methotrexate (MTX), but should not be used concomitantly with tumour necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists or other biological therapy (e.g. anakinra).
This approval is based on the AWAKEN trial, which included 190 patients aged 6-17 years with moderately to severely active polyarticular JIA who had an inadequate response to one or more disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). The first part was a 4-month, open-label lead-in phase in which patients received IV abatacept (10 mg/kg; maximum 1,000 mg) on Days 1, 15, 29 and every month thereafter. Those who achieved an ACR Pedi 30 response entered Period B - a six-month, double-blind phase involving randomisation to remain on abatacept (n=60) or to receive placebo (n=62) for six months. The primary endpoint of the study was time to occurrence of disease flare.
The main findings were as follows:
• In the lead-in phase, abatacept treatment resulted in a consistent improvement in ACR Pedi 30 across all JIA subtypes (oligoarticular extended - 59.3%; polyarticular-RF positive - 68.4%; polyarticular-RF negative - 64.3%; and systemic JIA with polyarticular course - 64.9%)
• The time to occurrence of disease flare was statistically significantly longer in patients treated with abatacept compared to patients treated with placebo compared with abatacept (p=0.0002) [no specific details given on magnitude of this difference]
• Patients treated with abatacept experienced fewer disease flares compared to placebo-treated patients (20% versus 53%, respectively, p<0.001)
• The risk of disease flare among patients continuing on abatacept was less than that for patients who withdrew from abatacept treatment (HR 0.31, 95% CI 0.16 to 0.59)

- Legislation authored by Sen. Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ) to prevent increases to enrollment fees, premiums, and pharmacy co-payments for TRICARE, the military community's health plan, was signed into law recently by President Bush.
