Additional Information General Description New Jersey Resources Recommended Web Sites Patient Education ... PubMED Search What Is Raynaud's Phenomenon? Raynaud's phenomenon is a disorder that affects the blood vessels in the fingers, toes, ears, and nose. This disorder is characterized by episodic attacks, called vasospastic attacks, that cause the blood vessels in the digits (fingers and toes) to constrict (narrow). Raynaud's phenomenon can occur on its own, or it can be secondary to another condition such as scleroderma or lupus. Although estimates vary, recent surveys show that Raynaud's phenomenon may affect 5 to 10 percent of the general population in the United States. Women are more likely than men to have the disorder. Raynaud's phenomenon appears to be more common in people who live in colder climates. However, people with the disorder who live in milder climates may have more attacks during periods of colder weather. What Happens During an Attack?

It's a procedure that more than 130,000 women underwent last year, but how safe are implants? On NBC's "Today" show, Dr. Judith Reichman discusses the health implications of breast augmentation. Read some of her thoughts below. SINCE 1992, there has been a 300 percent increase in the number of breast augmentations each year, yet, as Dr. Reichman says, few cosmetic surgeries have come under such recent medical, commercial, and legal scrutiny.

Many sites provide valuable information, while others may have information that is unreliable or misleading." Furthermore, because of the rapid increase in Internet-based information, many hours can be wasted searching, selecting, and printing. Since only the smallest fraction of information dealing with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is indexed in search engines, such as www.google.com or others, a non-systematic approach to Internet research can be not only time consuming, but also incomplete. This book was created for medical professionals, students, and members of the general public who want to conduct medical research using the most advanced tools available and spending the least amount of time doing so.

search this site: home decision making living with take charge ... site map Suggests Silicone Implants Are OK March 16, 2000 A study reported today has found no relationship between silicone breast implants and either connective-tissue disorders or autoimmune diseases. The report adds to the increasing evidence that the implants do not increase the risk of rheumatoid arthritis or related conditions, despite legal judgements against implant manufacturers. In 1991 the FDA banned the general use of the devices, although they are still available to women undergoing breast reconstruction who agree to enroll in clinical trials. Although this analysis provides another indication that silicone breast implants may not trigger connective tissue disease, it is still not the last word. As with any information based on observational data, it leaves open the possibility that an unknown factor may have influenced the results. The ongoing controlled trials will provide a more definitive answer. Still, the study has a couple of messages to breast-cancer survivors who are considering reconstruction with silicone implants. The first is that the likelihood that the prosthesis will trigger a connective-tissue disease appears to be low. The second is that if you decide to have silicone implants you'll be enrolled in a clinical trial and thus will be helping to put the question to rest.

Lehman MD Chief, Division of Pediatric Rheumatology Hospital for Special Surgery 535 E. 70 St New York NY Delivering the best care - with great care BMT for arthritis sounds awfully extreme, but it is one of the new alternatives being actively considered for severe cases which persist despite intensive and aggressive therapy. The idea is not to transplant children who are wheel chair bound with multiple destroyed joints, but to prevent children from ever getting that bad. Does it make sense Here’s what we know. About ten percent of children with severe systemic onset JRA (this group is only 20% of JRA cases – so now we’re talking 2% of patients) have severe disease despite NSAIDs , high doses of steroids, methotrexate, and azathioprine or other immunosuppressives. Many develop major steroid induced complications with short stature, avascular necrosis of bone, and recurrent infections. These children suffer from severe medical complications and severe psychological complications.

November 2003 Health Complications from Breast Implant Surgery: A Canadian Study with Implications for the U.S. By Aleina Tweed, British Columbia Centre of Excellence for Women's Health For decades, women who have undergone breast implant surgery have reported high implant failure rates and unidentifiable illnesses. In 1992, silicone gel-filled implants were subject to government moratoriums in the United States and in Canada, until such time as their safety could be assured. In the years that have followed, researchers have tried to find answers. In the meantime, breast implantation continues to become more and more popular, with saline-filled implants taking the place of their silicone predecessors. In Canada and the United States, approximately 20% of implant surgeries are for reconstruction, primarily after cancer or prophylactic mastectomy, and 80% are cosmetic augmentation. Such surgery is not considered medically necessary and is therefore paid for privately. However, when there are health consequences of this surgery - whether local complications or controversial systemic complications - Canadian women enter the public health care system for their care. High complication rates have been well-documented. A Mayo Clinic study in the United States, for example, found that 25% of women with breast implants suffered local complications requiring additional surgery within five years. Studies by implant manufacturers in the U.S. have reported that most reconstruction patients and a large proportion of augmentation patients report at least one serious complication within three years. In addition, there were 103,343 adverse reaction reports regarding silicone breast implants and 23,454 reports for saline implants received by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration between 1985 and 1996.
