Calf Augmentation Procedure
This procedure offers a solution for those people that have underdeveloped calves or wish to augment them. The idea is to shape and size the calves by surgical insertion of implants. The implants are made of soft silicon and they come in different shapes and sizes. Before the operation your legs will be measured to select a proper implant for your needs. There is an alternative to implants. Calf augmentation can also be performed by liposuction of fat from other body parts and injecting it into the calves. This method is not suitable for people with no extra fat to be removed. Another problem is fat absorption that eventually occurs, sometimes creating not symmetric calves. Men and women can benefit from this procedure. Men usually want to increase the muscle bulk, giving them more masculine look and women wish to get more symmetrical appearance of their legs. This procedure also may help to correct some congenital defects, those include polio, spina bifida and clubfoot, all this conditions may be associated with undeveloped calves.
This procedure can be done with local or general anesthesia, and it usually lasts for an hour. During the operation the patient is laying on their back. A cut is made in the concavity behind the knee, then the skin is gently separated and a space is created. The implant is inserted above the muscles. After one leg is done the doctor performs the same on the other one. After the symmetry is confirmed the surgeon closes the cuts with stitches.
Every operation has its ricks. This one includes bleeding, infection and sometimes implants shrinkage and asymmetry.
After the surgery you may feel some degree of pain. Your doctor'll subscribe you for painkillers. At the first two days you'll be asked to raise your legs whenever you are sitting, this to reduce swelling. Afterwards, the bandages are removed and you are encouraged to walk more intensively to train your calve muscles. For about two weeks you'll fell like you're calves is been through excessive workout. Swelling and bruising also may appear, they are only temporary and will improve with time. You'll be able to go back to work after 7-10 days. You'll get detailed instructions from you're surgeon regarding the activities you should avoid, for example long walking, weight lifting and running. Usually, most of the patients are able to return to their daily activities after 4-6 weeks.

- The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) reminded companies to ensure that they pay attention to trainees' health and safety needs and that they are supervised properly.
- This British qualitative study examined the causes of preventable drug-related admissions (PDRAs) to hospital using semi-structured interviews and medical record review. It involved 62 participants (18 patients, 8 informal carers, 17 GPs, 12 community pharmacists, 3 practice nurses and 4 other members of healthcare staff) who had been involved in events leading up to the patients’ hospital admissions in Nottingham. The following findings were reported:
• PDRAs are associated with problems at multiple stages in the medication use process, including prescribing, dispensing, administration, monitoring and help seeking.
• The main causes of these problems are communication failures (between patients and healthcare professionals and different groups of healthcare professionals) and knowledge gaps (about drugs and patients’ medical and medication histories).
• The causes of PDRAs are similar irrespective of whether the hospital admission is associated with a prescribing, monitoring or patient adherence problem.
The researchers conclude “causes of PDRAs are multifaceted and complex. Technical solutions to PDRAs will need to take account of this complexity and are unlikely to be sufficient on their own. Interventions targeting the human causes of PDRAs are also necessary.”
They suggest that if the NHS patient care record currently under development is implemented effectively, it could help to alleviate some of the communication problems seen in this study, by allowing prescribers rapid access to medication and medical histories when patients are transferred between primary and secondary care, as well as the results of monitoring. In addition, pharmacists in secondary care are recognised as an important patient safety resource, aided by easy access to medical records; something that community pharmacists do not have access to, which makes their role in patient safety more limited. Again, the NHS patient care record could provide them with access to medical and medication histories, which would act as a defence against PDRM. However it is recognised that community pharmacists are likely to need additional training to ensure they can use it effectively, and more work is needed to address the relationships between pharmacists and prescribers, to make it easier for pharmacists to question potential problems they find on prescriptions. In addition, patients need to be provided with adequate information to maximise their ability to manage their own medication safely and appropriately.
