Sometimes the treatment of diastasis of the rectus abdominis muscle and surgery. Generally, this practice a ‘incision near the’ navel. In other cases, a breach cutaneous circulation instead of 20-25 cm above the pubic area (as in cesarean section), which leaves a scar in the area covered by the slip. Then it restores the muscular wall, reinforced with a biocompatible implant material, which forms a fibrous capsule able to close the diastasis.

The various types of breast cancer have very different characteristics, which affect the ‘aggressiveness, clinical course, and finally the prognosis. The new discovery shows that in fact this heterogeneity is due to the different content in cancer stem cells. In particular cases are more aggressive than those in which the tumor tissue is richer in these cells. Cancer stem cells represent a small fraction of the tumor mass, but they are the real leaders of the birth and development of cancer because they are able to duplicate virtually limitless.
Precisely these cancer stem cells determine tumor growth. Similar to the case for stem cells in normal physiological process of generation of tissues, cancer stem cells are the real cause of the proliferation of tumor tissue. Cancer stem cells, unfortunately, in many cases able to resist chemotherapy and radiotherapy, caused the failure. Hence their dangerousness el ‘importance to shed light on the biology of cancer stem cells in order to grasp the processes tumor.
MEDICAL RESEARCH ON BREAST CANCER: from normal stem cells to the study of cancer stem cells

In their research, scientists in Milan started the study of the characteristics of normal stem cells. The first step was the ‘invention of a method to isolate sufficient quantities of stem cells, a’ difficult task because of their scarcity. This has allowed us to obtain the complete molecular characterization of normal stem cells and then make comparisons with cancer stem cells, resulting in a series of specific markers able to identify the stem cells of breast cancers.
Using these markers, researchers have shown that only cancer stem cells are capable of giving rise to new tumors, and more. Comparing the different types of breast cancers, it is clear that, despite their heterogeneity, all tumors (from more to less aggressive) can be attributed to two main groups based on the amount of cancer stem cells contained in the tumor. More aggressive tumors and worse prognosis are those that contain the highest number of cancer stem cells.

The research is important to improve analysis of the ‘aggressiveness of breast cancers in order to determine the most appropriate therapy. The study of cancer stem cells is also important to develop new drugs that have the potential to cure the disease.

Dr. Francesco Bernardini, surgeon oculoplastico member of the ‘European Society Oculoplastic reconstructive surgery (Esoprs), held a few days ago a basic course of surgery of talmoplastica for the reconstruction of’ eye to ‘Hilton & Hilton Garden in Rome Fiumicino Airport in Rome.
EYE HEALTH: THE RECONSTRUCTION OF ‘eyes after a trauma, glaucoma or tumor THE EYES

The cause of the loss of ‘eye can be a trauma, a tumor or a disease. The consequence is the removal of ‘eye, a highly invasive damage that leads not only to the permanent loss of vision, but also to aesthetic problems and social relationship.
Often those who have had trauma or diseases such as cancer, glaucoma or severe infections’ s eye, endured numerous surgeries aimed at functional recovery of vision. In some cases, however, the ‘eye loses all its function, it creates pain and becomes atrophic, small and colorless. The patient begins to wear dark glasses, loses its security aspect and stuffed with drops and pain medication. At this stage, the view is lost permanently, but you can eliminate pain and restore a look, and with it a social life as normal as possible.
If the view can not be recovered, all ‘appearance there is a remedy: the reconstruction of’ eye. This is a surgical procedure is complex but not impossible.
L ‘OPERATION FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION OF’ EYE

L ’surgery recommended in these cases is the’ evisceration of the eye: the wall ’s eye and the muscles are attached are kept intact, but remove all that all’ internal ’s eye is not working and is causing the pain. The coating is then filled with a scleral endo-prosthesis to keep intact the volume occupied by the ‘eye in order to maintain non-anatomical relationships of the’ orbit and eyelids. The aesthetic prosthesis, so he calls the ‘artificial eye, is now a very thin shell that lies between the eyelids and also enjoys a sufficient movement, is made by hand in special resins, based on the color of the’ other eye. For the reconstruction of ‘eye, now the apple is drawn on the size of the’ good eye, and even the smallest nuances of color are copied. Often in the eye in primary position, i.e directly in the center, do not recognize the ‘operated eye only after a closer look.
Removing the ‘eye is an extreme action, in which patients often are submitted after years of suffering deep pain-related physical and psychological trauma related to continuous and’ altered appearance of ‘eye patient. Who loses an eye must already face a significant deficit from a functional standpoint. Eliminate pain and restore a blind eye to ‘normal appearance is already a milestone: a few weeks after the’ surgery patients feel no more pain and are happy with their image in the mirror.

Ski slopes and sun lamps expose eyes to UV rays. For those who love to spend a healthy weekend in the mountains, even of ‘winter hats, sunglasses and skin care are necessary precautions to be taken to prevent eyelid tumors, especially if you have hair and fair complexion. And now that ‘tan’ s summer is passing and the ski slopes are preparing for the new winter season, you must be careful to protect the eyes because of prolonged exposure to the sun or a tanning session with sun lamps without proper care is among the main causes of eyelid tumors. Should be careful when one is exposed to the sun or are subjected to ultraviolet radiation: l ‘tan has its charm, but health must come first.
SKIN CANCER – EYE CANCER OF THE EYELIDS: epithelioma basal O

Also known as basal or basal cell epithelioma, tumors of the eye fissures of skin cancer are among the most common. It can be difficult to recognize this type of cancer of the eyes, but a late diagnosis of cancer may involve surgical incision complex. For the treatment of cancer will require fundamental eyelid surgery requiring also the reconstruction of the eyelid to prevent the tumor can reform.
SYMPTOMS OF CANCER OF THE EYELIDS EYE: a malignant tumor that jeopardizes eye health

L ‘Excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays of the eyes, especially in people with blond hair, blue eyes and fair complexion, is the main cause of’ occurrence of cancer of the eyelids which are formed mainly in the area between the eye and nose or on the lower lid. The basalioma (cancer of the eyelids) should appear as a red lesion that grows slowly and painlessly, so we often turn to doctors when the cancer is already advanced.
Cancer of the eyelids is a malignant tumor that does not endanger the life of the subject, but it is dangerous to the health of your eyes. The basalioma it tends to “eat” healthy tissue on which to grow and expand gradually.
The danger of cancer of the eyelids is due to the fact that, if they are infiltrated or ocular orbital tissues, the tumor can not be defined by simple, but very radical surgery becomes necessary.
DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF CANCER OF THE EYELIDS EYE

After confirming the clinical suspicion of cancer of the eyelids with a biopsy, the tumor must be removed completely, making sure, with a histological control, that the margins of tissue around the eyelid basalioma are not infiltrated by tumor cells: a problem can cause reform of the tumor into a more virulent form. All ‘inside of the same surgical procedure, after removing the tumor is passed to the reconstruction of the parts removed, particularly delicate operation that may also include skin grafts.
With this technique of intervention, recurrence of the tumor is less than 3 percent of cases.
The surgeon oculoplastico are professionals dedicated to this type of intervention for his knowledge of eyelid function and capacity in the reconstruction of the eyelid in order to maintain a good final appearance.

The aim of the initiative is to sensitize all women about the importance of preventing breast cancer and to achieve an early diagnosis of this by regularly to appropriate diagnostic tests, currently considered the most effective means to defeat this insidious enemy.

In Italy, 1 in 10 women is sick with breast cancer (last year there were over 40 thousand cases), but with increasing incidence over the last twenty years in industrialized countries, has identified a steady decline in mortality of less than 10 thousand deaths each year.

This, say the Lilt, buoyed by the possibility of reaching an early diagnosis given by medical research techniques more refined instrument that can identify evil still at an early stage, greatly increasing the chances of recovery. Why it is important to undergo regular breast and visits, as your doctor recommends, ultrasound breast examination and mammography. The latter in particular is the best way to diagnose breast cancer when they still have not become palpable.

Usually before starting treatment (often associated with chemotherapy, surgery) are several types of surveys to find out if the disease has spread to other parts of the body. For example, it requires a chest radiograph, a bone scan, an ultrasound of the abdomen complete, CT scans, PET … These tests that are unfortunately forced women suffering but are needed for diagnosis.

In the age group between 30 and 44 years of breast cancer – underlined the Breast Surgeon, Sarah Pettinato – is the leading cause of death for women. And often, unfortunately, despite the efforts and initiatives of agencies, many women are unaware of the dangers.

Is precisely the statistics behind the project “March in Rose presented these days at the site of Catania’s Office for the Region? The initiative is promoted by “Agata women for women non-profit organization, represented by the same Pettinato: in March to organize an information program on the importance of early detection of breast cancer, making operational visits with free breast examination and informative meetings.

Visits and consultations will be held next month exclusively at the new headquarters of “Agata women for women non-profit organization” in Via Asiago 12 in Catania. The facilities will be inaugurated on 6 March at 10.30 am in the presence of prof. Paolo Veronesi Director of Breast Surgeon integrated European Institute of Oncology in Milan.

And if the tumour actually derived, as the dr. Simoncini, fungal infection and were cured with antifungal par excellence (the dear bicarbonate)….?

Prostate cancer may have a short life.
E ‘was discovered, in fact, it takes only a few doses of nitro-glycerine to block the development of prostate cancer.

The discovery was made in the Queen’s University of Belfast, Northern Ireland by a group of researchers led by Dr. Robert Siemens. Nitro-glycerine through the release of nitric oxide acts as coronodilatatore role, increasing blood flow and producing a hypertensive effect, giving relief from chest pain.
Irish researchers who tested the power of nitro-glycerine on a group of 24 men suffering from prostate cancer, already treated by radiotherapy or surgery. For two years volunteers have worn on the abdomen or arm a plaster made of nitro-glycerine divided into six parts, because the laboratory had established that lower doses were needed compared to heart disease. Every 12 hours, the patches were replaced with new patches.

During the two years, researchers have carried out checks every 2-3 months to see what was the state of the PSA marker associated with the development of cancer. Well, after a year, the levels of the majority of patients had stabilized or even fallen.

Dr. Siemens said he was pleased with the results obtained; Cancer Research, however, still calls for caution, noting that the data refer to levels of PSA and not the actual texture of the tumour. It has not been clarified, inter alia, the link (which there must be) between nitro-glycerine and the development of cancer and the real effects that this type of therapy would have on prostate cancer.
The aim now is therefore to establish, through in-depth features, if the bedding or decrease in the PSA level is genuinely resulting in a stabilization or even regression of the tumour, which, according to researchers in Ireland, is an as desirable.

A clinical trial has used the nitro-glycerine patch on 29 men with high levels dips, the key indicator of the progression of cancer. Patients who had used the”patch”, 24 hours a day, after 6 months had, in most cases, stable PSA values.

“We were very pleased to see a significant slowdown in the progression of the disease” said Robert Siemens, professor of urology at Queen’s University and an urologist at Kingston General Hospital, who led the study. However, researchers have made clear that further tests should be done to confirm the results of the experiment.

Nitro-glycerine in medicine is used at higher doses than those used in this study, to treat angina.

The study results appeared in a recent issue of the journal Urology,

Prostate cancer is diagnosed in about 235.000 people per year in the United States, 20,700 in Canada. In Italy there are 42,804 cancer deaths a year by 9070: Prostate cancer is the first cancer that affects humans.

The study shows that there are high hopes of being able to treat this cancer with a therapy that uses low doses of nitric oxide to patients by offering a new possibility for non-invasive treatment.

The researchers plan to initiate in 2010 a larger clinical trial to confirm and extend the results of testing already done.

The top frame blends the two showing a sort of examination of the prostate performed in the street by two policemen on a young … all right to fight against these diseases, but this is a bit ‘too much!

Active surveillance, when undertaken within a structured and controlled protocol is able to ensure first the safety of the patient (the controls are very frequent over time) and at the same time offer them the opportunity to perform a radical treatment (surgery or radiotherapy or Brach therapy) only if and when he needs: the objective fact is not to avoid but still the treatment to decide if and when made, at the most opportune time. For many patients, carriers of so-called indolent cancers, this moment can be moved very far back in time, even years, as shown by the studies already published on the subject, often indefinitely postponing the inevitable side effects of local treatment with radical intent.
