Breast Reconstruction Autologous Procedure
Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure usually designed to reconstruct the breast of patients who have had a mastectomy due to breast cancer. Depending upon the patient, there may be several different options for breast reconstruction involving breast implants as well as using the patient's own tissues. Not every patient will be a candidate for every reconstructive technique.
Autologous tissue is tissue taken from another part of your body. This animation shows a breast reconstruction that is performed at a later date than the mastectomy. Sometimes a breast reconstruction may take place during the mastectomy.
An incision is made along the previous scar and dissection is carried down through the tissues to the chest wall.
Tissue from the abdomen or the back is dissected from its normal location and rotated into the mastectomy site to re-create the new breast. Important blood vessels are left attached and intact to provide blood to the tissue. Other tissues such as muscles and fat from the buttocks or even the legs can be used to recreate a breast in select patients, although these procedures are far less common.
The nipple and areola are reconstructed with either local tissue and tattooing or a skin graft from the inner thigh.
Autologous reconstruction may be a good option in certain candidates; however, this can only be determined after consultation with your surgeon. Depending on the reconstructive technique utilized, the healing time can be from four to eight weeks or longer. If the abdominal tissue is utilized, the healing process will be longer. If the muscle from the back is used, the healing time is usually shorter. Breast reconstruction is a complex procedure and results vary.
The patient is placed in a compression garment or bra. Compression garments are an important part of the recovery process. The garment provides support, comfort and helps to minimize swelling. The patient is usually wearing a bra or some type of supportive garment at all times, except when showering. Healing time is approximately three months. Scarring is variable and often depends on the patient's ability to heal.

Ottawa Public transit
The city's public transit is run by OC Transpo and includes the bus service as well as the O-Train light rail system. The network includes the Transitway, a bus rapid transit system running through and out of downtown, with frequent service (on the order of 1-2 minutes at rush hour).
Standard bus fare is $3.00 CAD cash or 2 tickets. Tickets cost 95¢ CAD each and are available from local stores in sheets of 10. Children 6-11 require only one ticket. Upon boarding you will be given a transfer which allows you to ride any number of buses or trains until its expiry (in roughly 2 hours). A day pass can be purchased on any bus for $7.25 (or $6 if pre-purchased at a vendor) and is good for both buses and the train. On Sundays, families (up to 2 adults and 4 children, age 11 and under) can share a day pass.

Ottawa Budget
Ottawa probably has more shawarma (kebab and fixings in pita bread) restaurants than any other place on Earth and most of them will serve up a great shawarma for around $5. Their busy times are typically weekdays at lunch-hour, and on weekends after the bars close. The Market and Elgin St. both have several restaurants to choose from. The usual range of diners, bagel shops and fast food restaurants can be found in shopping areas throughout the city.
You will also find "chip wagons" or "chip trucks" parked in various locations around the city at lunch time. They serve hamburgers, hot dogs, sausages, pogos (deep fried, breaded hot dogs on a stick), chips (french fries) and poutine (french fries covered with cheddar cheese curd and gravy - very popular in Quebec and eastern Ontario).

- China's Ministry of Health on Friday released new regulations that aim to strengthen the supervision and management of blood collection centers in the country, China Daily reports.
- Abstract Anatomically, the platysma muscle is composed of two parts: a facial part and a cervical part. This observation allows a better
understanding of the modifications due to aging. The correction of platysma bands needs nearly vertical directional vectors
at the facial level. The periosteum of the malar bone and the anterior border of the parotid fascia are two solid structures
that are not modified during aging. They allow the anchoring of the ptotic tissues including premalar fat pads, jowls, and
platysma bands. The connections between the skin and the platysma muscle are not affected, although most of the described
techniques need a detachment of the platysma muscle from the skin and a suture of the anterior border via a submental approach.
Furthermore, the posterior border of the platysma muscle is not modified by aging. This explains why it is useless to detach
this structure. The principles of the proposed technique are fundamentally different. Lore’s fascia is used as a guide for
approaching the trunk of the facial nerve. Labbé and colleagues have done an anatomic study of this procedure. It allows a
solid anchoring of the platysma muscle, which is not detached from the skin. This is the key to the operation because the
skin and the muscle are elevated en bloc. The author demonstrates that the absence of separation between skin and muscle,
particularly at the cervical level, is a very efficient means for correcting platysma bands and for obtaining good definition
of the cervicomental angle.
