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).

United Arab Emirates Talk The official language is Arabic, but it is safe to say that the majority of the population doesn't speak it (Iranian, Indian, Asian and Western expatriates are more numerous than Arabs in Dubai, and usually have very limited knowledge of Arabic). English is the lingua franca.
Other languages widely spoken in the UAE include: English, Farsi (Persian), Hindi/Urdu (Hindustani), Malayalam, Tagalog (Filipino). Most people possess at least a basic command of English, though it is not uncommon to meet people whose English is limited.
In Dubai, most shops, hotels, and commercial businesses conduct business in English. Generally speaking, Arabic is spoken by government departments and the police, however in the Northern Emirates Arabic is much more widely spoken.
United Arab Emirates Buy The currency is the United Arab Emirates dirham (AED, local abbreviation dhs). Conversion rates are 3.68 AED for 1 USD, 4.5 AED for 1 EUR and 6.8 AED for 1 GBP. The Dirham is pegged on the USD, so rate variations with this currency are unlikely. Notes are in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 dirhams. There is a one dirham coin with sub-units of 25 and 50 fils coins (100 fils = 1 dirham). There are 5 fils and 10 fils coins but these are rarely seen (and provide an excuse for traders to 'short change').
Cash and travellers cheques can be changed at exchanges located at the airports or in all the major shopping malls. ATMs are numerous and generously distributed. They accept all the major chain cards: Visa, Cirrus, Maestro etc. Credit cards are widely accepted.

- The NICE guidelines on follow-up for breast cancer patients need urgent revision, warn experts in this week's BMJ.More than 1.2 million women and men worldwide are diagnosed with breast cancer each year and it is now recognised as a chronic disease that can recur even after 20 -30 years.
- The National Prescribing Centre (NPC) has produced a “blog” discussing a recently published trial which concluded that that glucosamine sulphate, 1500mg daily for 2 years, was no better than placebo in reducing symptoms and progression of hip osteoarthritis (Ann Intern Med 2008; 148: 268–77).
The blog discusses the study and concludes that “In the absence of evidence to support its use, glucosamine (sulphate or hydrochloride) should not routinely be prescribed for the treatment of hip osteoarthritis. While glucosamine hydrochloride is licensed in the UK, the largest study of this preparation found no benefit. There is currently no licensed preparation of glucosamine sulphate. Prescribers should be aware of recent NICE guidance (issued February 27th 2008) that does not recommend glucosamine for treating osteoarthritis.” – Please see links above for full NICE guidance recommendations, and previous NeLM report of study.
