Breast Lift 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).

Latvia Understand Cesis castle in Vidzeme regionLatvia is a famous ancient trading point. The famous ‘route from the Vikings to the Greeks’ mentioned in ancient chronicles stretched from Scandinavia through Latvian territory along the river Daugava to the Ancient Russia and Byzantine Empire.
Across the European continent, Latvia’s coast was known as a place for obtaining amber. In the Middle Ages amber was more valuable than gold in many places. Latvian amber was known in places as far away as Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire.
At the 12th century, German traders arrived, bringing with them missionaries who attempted to convert the pagan Baltic and Finno-Ugrian tribes to the Christian faith.

- Seattle Children's Hospital Research Institute has announced that it has received a $1 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to study ways to prevent global prematurity and stillbirth. Prematurity claims the lives of over 1 million newborn babies worldwide each year. It is the leading cause of infant mortality in the United States with over 10,000 babies dying each year.
- A study published early online in the Lancet has examined whether enteral administration of probiotic prophylaxis in patients with predicted severe acute pancreatitis can reduce infectious complications and associated mortality.
The study involved 298 patients (APACHE II score = 8, Imrie score = 3, or CRP >150 mg/L) who were randomised to within 72 hours of onset of symptoms to receive a multispecies probiotic (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus salivarius, Lactococcus lactis, Bifidobacterium bifidum, and Bifidobacterium lactis) preparation (n=153) or placebo (n=145), administered enterally twice daily for 28 days. The primary endpoint was the composite of infectious complications (infected pancreatic necrosis, bacteraemia, pneumonia, urosepsis, or infected ascites) during admission and 90-day follow-up. According to the intention to treat analyses:
• Infectious complications occurred in 46 (30%) patients in the probiotics group and 41 (28%) of those in the placebo group (relative risk 1.06, 95% CI 0.75 to 1.51).
• 24 (16%) patients in the probiotics group died, vs. 9 (6%) in the placebo group (2.53, 1.22 to 5.25).
• 9 patients in the probiotics group developed bowel ischaemia (8 with fatal outcome), vs none in the placebo group (p = 0.004).
The researchers conclude from these findings that prophylaxis with this combination of probiotic strains should not be administered in this category of patients as it did not reduce the risk of infectious complications and was associated with an increased risk of mortality.
