FORWARD In March 2001, the National Institutes of Health issued the following warning: "The number of Web sites offering health-related resources grows every day. Many sites provide valuable information, while others may have information that is unreliable or misleading."1 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 cosmetic surgery 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 know as much as possible about cosmetic surgery, using the most advanced research tools available and spending the least amount of time doing so. In addition to offering a structured and comprehensive bibliography, the pages that follow will tell you where and how to find reliable information covering virtually all topics related to cosmetic surgery, from the essentials to the most advanced areas of research. Public, academic, government, and peer-reviewed research studies are emphasized. Various abstracts are reproduced to give you some of the latest official information available to date on cosmetic surgery. Abundant guidance is given on how to obtain free-of-charge primary research results via the Internet. While this book focuses on the field of medicine, when some sources provide access to non-medical information relating to cosmetic surgery, these are noted in the text. E-book and electronic versions of this book are fully interactive with each of the Internet sites mentioned (clicking on a hyperlink automatically opens your browser to the site indicated). If you are using the hard copy version of this book, you can access a cited Web site by typing the provided Web address directly into your Internet browser. You may find it useful to refer to synonyms or related terms when accessing these Internet databases. NOTE: At the time of publication, the Web addresses were functional. However, some links may fail due to URL address changes, which is a common occurrence on the Internet. For readers unfamiliar with the Internet, detailed instructions are offered on how to access electronic resources. For readers unfamiliar with medical terminology, a comprehensive glossary is provided. For readers without access to Internet resources, a directory of medical libraries, that have or can locate references cited here, is given. We hope these resources will prove useful to the widest possible audience seeking information on cosmetic surgery. The Editors

CHAPTER 1. STUDIES ON COSMETIC SURGERY Overview In this chapter, we will show you how to locate peer-reviewed references and studies on cosmetic surgery.

The Combined Health Information Database The Combined Health Information Database summarizes studies across numerous federal agencies. To limit your investigation to research studies and cosmetic surgery, you will need to use the advanced search options. First, go to http://chid.nih.gov/index.html. From there, select the “Detailed Search” option (or go directly to that page with the following hyperlink: http://chid.nih.gov/detail/detail.html). The trick in extracting studies is found in the drop boxes at the bottom of the search page where “You may refine your search by.” Select the dates and language you prefer, and the format option “Journal Article.” At the top of the search form, select the number of records you would like to see (we recommend 100) and check the box to display “whole records.” We recommend that you type “cosmetic surgery” (or synonyms) into the “For these words:” box. Consider using the option “anywhere in record” to make your search as broad as possible. If you want to limit the search to only a particular field, such as the title of the journal, then select this option in the “Search in these fields” drop box. The following is what you can expect from this type of search: •

Breast Cancer: Mammographic and Sonographic Findings After Augmentation Mammoplasty Source: Radiology. 174(1):195-198, January 1990. Summary: Researchers retrospectively reviewed 11 cases of breast cancer in patients who had undergone augmentation mammoplasty to determine whether the early diagnosis of breast cancer is possible when examinations are supervised by experienced mammographers and when additional mammographic projections and sonograms are used. Investigators examined clinical findings, mammograms, and sonograms of the patients, who ranged in age from 37-57 (mean age 46), seen between March 1980 and October 1987. Patients completed forms on their medical history, prior mammograms, and timing or prior mammography in relation to the cosmetic surgery. All patients were imaged with dedicated screen-film mammography units; standard craniocaudal

and 45 degree mediolateral oblique views were obtained of each breast. Initial palpation of the breasts was performed by the technologist to determine how much breast tissue was present anterior to the prosthesis. The phototimer was moved to a position overlying breast tissue. Images were initially evaluated by one of four experienced radiologists; additional examinations were performed when necessary. Results showed that the mammogram or sonogram was abnormal in 11 patients, including 6 patients with an abnormal mammographic density or ultrasound study, 4 with calcifications, and 1 with an axillary node and an asymmetric density. One patient had dense breasts and no suspicious findings at mammography. In four patients without palpable findings in the breast, the malignancy was initially detected by means of mammography. In five of six patients with a palpable breast mass, special mammographic views and sonography were helpful in evaluating the mass. Lymph nodes were not involved in six (60 percent) of the 10 patients with ductal carcinomas. Findings suggest that the detection of breast cancer in the augmented breast by means of mammography is possible, even in patients without palpable findings. Modifiedposition views and sonography may be helpful in evaluating palpable masses. 4 figures, 1 table, 12 references. •

Neuropathological Findings in a Patient With Epilepsy and the Parry-Romberg Syndrome Source: Epilepsia. 42(9):1198-1203, September 2001. Summary: Researchers examined a patient with Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS) that was associated with medically intractable temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). The patient was a woman who began to develop progressive left facial hemiatrophy at age 18 years. Up to that time she had had normal developmental milestones and she had no family history of neurologic disease. She had cosmetic surgery to reconstruct the affected area. At age 23 years, she began experiencing epileptic seizures that consisted primarily of brief speech-arrest episodes, fixed expression, and automatic activity that lasted for 1 to several minutes (complex partial seizures). At age 28 years she was diagnosed with a left Fuch's heterochromic iridocyclitis. During the following 2 years, her condition continued to deteriorate as her epilepsy progressed to the point that her seizures could not be controlled with antiepileptic drug polytherapy. A magnetic resonance imaging scan demonstrated a large abnormal cortical area that involved the left parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes. A single photon emission computed tomography study of the brain showed an extensive left parietooccipital hypofusion area. The patient underwent a left temporal craniotomy that involved a tailored anterior temporal cortical resection including the amygdala and the anterior portion of the hippocampus and adjacent cortex (leaving intact the superior temporal gyrus). After surgery, the patient remained seizure free (followup period 4 years, 7 months). The resected temporal lobe of the patient showed a variety of significant microanatomic alterations at the light microscopy level in mesial structures: (1) Small groups of ectopic cells, (2) neuronal loss, (3) gliosis, and (4) activated microglial cells. At the electron microscopy level, the number of synapses in the cell-sparse region adjacent to the ectopic mass of neurons in the dentate gyrus was almost twice the number observed in the molecular and polymorph cell layers, indicating the intrusion of neuritic processes and synapse formation. Symmetric axosomatic synapses were not observed. Researchers conclude that the complete seizure relief achieved in the patient after surgery suggests that the pacemaker regions of seizure activity were within the resected tissue. Which of the many neuropathologic findings were the primary cause of the seizures could not be determined. Nonetheless, the changes found in the dentate gyrus circuitry appear to be an important contributor to the patient's epilepsy. 3 figures, 15 references.

Planning To Look Flab-u-less? Know the Facts About Liposuction Source: FDA Consumer Magazine. November-December 2000. Summary: Liposuction is the most popular form of cosmetic surgery today. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), an estimated 287,000 procedures were performed in 1999. Liposuction is used for those who want an improved body shape and can be used in conjunction with facelifts, for chin and tummy tucks, and for reducing the size of abdomens, hips, and thighs. The article reviews how liposuction works, the risks versus the benefits, fatalities, post-surgical outcomes, and patient criteria. Obesity experts generally advise that very obese individuals not have liposuction. Post-surgical complications are higher, and there is a compensatory increase in new fat cells. According to a consensus of experts, the best liposuction candidate is a mature adult between the ages of 30 and 50 who is in good health, has dieted and exercised to lose unwanted pounds, has good skin tone, has a set of realistic expectations, and wants a limited procedure for body contouring. The article closes with a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) address and telephone number to report problems related to equipment or medications used for liposuction.

85 Percent of American Women Don't Like Their Bodies: Are You One of Them? Source: Self. p.134-9. June 1994. Summary: This article discusses the social pressure that women often feel to look perfect. Many women are obsessed with perfection, and will practice compulsive exercise and weight training, chronic dieting, and cosmetic surgery. Experts measure the seriousness of a self-image disorder by determining how disruptive the condition is to one's life. The case histories of women with pathological self-image disorders often reveal an inclination toward obsessive-compulsive or manic-depressive disorders. The

way in which the U.S. as a society views people who are overweight is discussed. The article includes a quiz to help the reader determine her own self-image and offers suggestions for increasing self-acceptance.

Federally Funded Research on Cosmetic Surgery The U.S. Government supports a variety of research studies relating to cosmetic surgery. These studies are tracked by the Office of Extramural Research at the National Institutes of Health.2 CRISP (Computerized Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects) is a searchable database of federally funded biomedical research projects conducted at universities, hospitals, and other institutions. Search the CRISP Web site at http://crisp.cit.nih.gov/crisp/crisp_query.generate_screen. You will have the option to perform targeted searches by various criteria, including geography, date, and topics related to cosmetic surgery. For most of the studies, the agencies reporting into CRISP provide summaries or abstracts. As opposed to clinical trial research using patients, many federally funded studies use animals or simulated models to explore cosmetic surgery. The following is typical of the type of information found when searching the CRISP database for cosmetic surgery: •

Project Title: PSYCHOSOCIAL, GENETIC, BIOLOGIC FACTORS IN WOUND HEALING Principal Investigator & Institution: Marucha, Phillip T.; Associate Professor; Periodontology; Ohio State University 1800 Cannon Dr, Rm 1210 Columbus, OH 43210 Timing: Fiscal Year 2001; Project Start 01-FEB-2000; Project End 31-JAN-2003 Summary: Wound healing is the process of re-establishment of the normal structure and function of a tissue after injury. Abnormal healing can result in increased rates of infection, scarring, altered integrity of the injured tissue, and impaired function. When the wound is a therapeutic intervention, e.g., periodontal surgery or cosmetic surgery, the beneficial effect may not be achievable when healing is impaired. An individual's ability to efficiently heal a wound depends upon the quality and quantity of their inflammatory response which can be modulated by neuroendocrine and genetic factors. The overall purpose of this research proposal is to determine the mechanisms by which psychosocial and genetic factors alter inflammatory responses required for oral wound healing. Academic examination stress has been shown to delay healing of oral wounds by 40%, but there is considerable individual variation as to the relative impact of this stressor. We hypothesize that the magnitude of the effect of stress is a function of psychosocial factors which alter the perception of stress and the perceived consequences of stress, and genetic polymorphisms that control the level of pro-inflammatory cytokine gene expression. Experimental oral wounds will be placed during examinations and nonstressed times to determine the mechanisms by which psychological and genetic factors alter inflammatory responses during healing. The following specific aims will address these hypotheses: To determine l) the mechanisms by which examination stress alters cellular recruitment and inflammatory responses

during wound healing and how they are modulated by an individual's inflammatory genotype; 2) the relationship among psychosocial factors, neuroendocrine mediators, and delayed wound healing. Understanding the mechanisms of delayed healing, will help to determine those at greatest risk and to develop individualized interventions to ameliorate the effects of stress.

The National Library of Medicine: PubMed One of the quickest and most comprehensive ways to find academic studies in both English and other languages is to use PubMed, maintained by the National Library of Medicine.3 The advantage of PubMed over previously mentioned sources is that it covers a greater number of domestic and foreign references. It is also free to use. If the publisher has a Web site that offers full text of its journals, PubMed will provide links to that site, as well as to sites offering other related data. User registration, a subscription fee, or some other type of fee may be required to access the full text of articles in some journals. To generate your own bibliography of studies dealing with cosmetic surgery, simply go to the PubMed Web site at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed. Type “cosmetic surgery” (or synonyms) into the search box, and click “Go.” The following is the type of output you can expect from PubMed for “cosmetic surgery” (hyperlinks lead to article summaries): •

CHAPTER 2. NUTRITION AND COSMETIC SURGERY Overview In this chapter, we will show you how to find studies dedicated specifically to nutrition and cosmetic surgery.

Finding Nutrition Studies on Cosmetic Surgery The National Institutes of Health’s Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) offers a searchable bibliographic database called the IBIDS (International Bibliographic Information on Dietary Supplements; National Institutes of Health, Building 31, Room 1B29, 31 Center Drive, MSC 2086, Bethesda, Maryland 20892-2086, Tel: 301-435-2920, Fax: 301-480-1845, E-mail: [email protected]). The IBIDS contains over 460,000 scientific citations and summaries about dietary supplements and nutrition as well as references to published international, scientific literature on dietary supplements such as vitamins, minerals, and botanicals.4 The IBIDS includes references and citations to both human and animal research studies. As a service of the ODS, access to the IBIDS database is available free of charge at the following Web address: http://ods.od.nih.gov/databases/ibids.html. After entering the search area, you have three choices: (1) IBIDS Consumer Database, (2) Full IBIDS Database, or (3) Peer Reviewed Citations Only. Now that you have selected a database, click on the “Advanced” tab. An advanced search allows you to retrieve up to 100 fully explained references in a comprehensive format. Type “cosmetic surgery” (or synonyms) into the search box, and click “Go.” To narrow the search, you can also select the “Title” field.

Adapted from http://ods.od.nih.gov. IBIDS is produced by the Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) at the National Institutes of Health to assist the public, healthcare providers, educators, and researchers in locating credible, scientific information on dietary supplements. IBIDS was developed and will be maintained through an interagency partnership with the Food and Nutrition Information Center of the National Agricultural Library, U.S. Department of Agriculture.

CHAPTER 6. PATENTS ON COSMETIC SURGERY Overview Patents can be physical innovations (e.g. chemicals, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment) or processes (e.g. treatments or diagnostic procedures). The United States Patent and Trademark Office defines a patent as a grant of a property right to the inventor, issued by the Patent and Trademark Office.5 Patents, therefore, are intellectual property. For the United States, the term of a new patent is 20 years from the date when the patent application was filed. If the inventor wishes to receive economic benefits, it is likely that the invention will become commercially available within 20 years of the initial filing. It is important to understand, therefore, that an inventor’s patent does not indicate that a product or service is or will be commercially available. The patent implies only that the inventor has “the right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling” the invention in the United States. While this relates to U.S. patents, similar rules govern foreign patents. In this chapter, we show you how to locate information on patents and their inventors. If you find a patent that is particularly interesting to you, contact the inventor or the assignee for further information. IMPORTANT NOTE: When following the search strategy described below, you may discover non-medical patents that use the generic term “cosmetic surgery” (or a synonym) in their titles. To accurately reflect the results that you might find while conducting research on cosmetic surgery, we have not necessarily excluded nonmedical patents in this bibliography.

Patents on Cosmetic Surgery By performing a patent search focusing on cosmetic surgery, you can obtain information such as the title of the invention, the names of the inventor(s), the assignee(s) or the company that owns or controls the patent, a short abstract that summarizes the patent, and a few excerpts from the description of the patent. The abstract of a patent tends to be more technical in nature, while the description is often written for the public. Full patent descriptions contain much more information than is presented here (e.g. claims, references, figures, diagrams, etc.). We will tell you how to obtain this information later in the chapter. 5Adapted

52 Cosmetic surgery

The following is an example of the type of information that you can expect to obtain from a patent search on cosmetic surgery: •

Method of laser cosmetic surgery Inventor(s): Keller; Gregory S. (2323 De La Vina, #104, Santa Barbara, CA 93105) Assignee(s): Keller; Gregory S. (Santa Barbara, CA) Patent Number: RE36,903 Date filed: July 26, 1999 Abstract: Laser surgery is utilized to perform cosmetic surgery. A quartz fiber is used to direct the laser energy to the target area for the incision, division or resection of tissue. An endoscope may be utilized in conjunction with the quartz fiber to perform the cosmetic surgical techniques. One application utilizes laser energy to eliminate glabellar frown lines and/or forehead wrinkles. Another application employs laser energy to rectify brow descent. A further application uses laser energy to perform a neck lift. In yet another application, laser energy is utilized to reduce nasolabial folds. The use of laser energy in cosmetic surgical procedures greatly reduces the size of the incision required in the skin to perform cosmetic surgical procedures, and as a result greatly reduces the risks of potential complications. Excerpt(s): The field of the present invention is cosmetic surgery.... In recent years, laser technology has been utilized in a variety of applications in industry, surveying, communications and the medical field. In the field of cosmetic surgery, however, standard procedures typically involve extensive use of scalpels for incising, dividing and resecting tissue. Depending upon the particular procedure, disadvantageous complications may result including scarring, nerve damage and reduced blood flow to the affected area which can result in skin slough.... For example, to remove glabellar frown lines (between the eyebrows) and forehead wrinkles, standard cosmetic surgical technique involves an extensive procedure called a forehead lift which entails a large incision that extends from ear to ear over the top of the forehead. The forehead lift is particularly disadvantageous because it opens the patient up widely requiring the physician to stop bleeders and risk cauterizing nerves. Since this procedure creates a large thin skin flap and reduces the blood supply to the skin, there is also an increased risk of skin slough and alopecia (balding). An alternate procedure for removing glabellar frown lines and forehead wrinkles is collagen treatment. However, this treatment is temporary at best and also involves a risk of allergic reaction. Moreover, collagen has been reported to cause autoimmune disease and blindness. Web site: http://www.delphion.com/details?pn=US0RE36903__

(10633 Le Conte Ave, late of Los Angeles, CA 90024) Assignee(s): none reported Patent Number: 4,863,733 Date filed: August 28, 1985 Abstract: There are disclosed methods for use in plastic or cosmetic surgery in which a predetermined volume of blood is withdrawn from a donor-patient; and the blood is separated to yield a fraction containing 38% globulins and 54% albumin. This fraction is heated and then reintroduced in conjunction with the respective cosmetic surgery procedures, such as the treatment of scars, breast augmentation, lines near the mouth, in the forehead, and the like. There are also disclosed the corresponding compositions for use in plastic surgery, and these compositions may additionally contain compositions with anesthetic properties and/or coagulants. Excerpt(s): This invention is concerned with treatment methods for plastic or cosmetic surgery, to methods of preparing treatment compositions for use in such surgery, and to compositions for use in plastic or cosmetic surgery.... Recently, considerable interest has been shown in the application of autotransfusion techniques in surgical management for a variety of surgical purposes. Autotransfusion is generally comprised of the steps of removal or salvage of the patient's blood during or prior to the surgical procedure, and re-introduction or administration of the patient's blood, or specific components thereof, to the donor-patient.... Although progress has been made in this field, there has remained the need for specific treatment methods and techniques for use in cosmetic or plastic surgery, to methods of preparing treatment compositions for the use in such surgery, and to specific compositions for use in plastic or cosmetic surgery.

54 Cosmetic surgery

Abstract: A method for providing a preview via a network of the potential effects of cosmetic surgery includes selecting a cosmetic surgery procedure, asking at least one question regarding the body of a prospective patient via the network, viewing and/or selecting images related to the body of the patient and/or the selected cosmetic surgery procedure, answering the question(s) via the network and using the answers to form preview image of the prospective patient showing the potential effects of the selected cosmetic surgery procedure. Excerpt(s): The present invention relates generally to cosmetic surgery. The present invention relates more particularly to a method for providing a preview via a network (such as the Internet) of the potential effects of cosmetic surgery.... Cosmetic surgery previews for allowing patients to see the potential effects of a cosmetic surgery procedure, either in a doctor's office or via the Internet, are known. However, contemporary cosmetic surgery preview systems require that prospective patients provide pictures of themselves.... Many patients are reluctant to provide pictures of themselves. This is particularly true when the cosmetic surgery procedure involves an intimate part of the perspective patient's body. For example, according to contemporary practice providing a preview of a breast augmentation procedure requires that a picture of the perspective patient's breast be provided.

Virtual cosmetic surgery system Inventor(s): Arima, Ryoji; (Tokyo, JP), Fujimoto, Hitoshi; (Tokyo, JP), Kameyama, Masatoshi; (Tokyo, JP) Correspondence: BIRCH STEWART KOLASCH & BIRCH; PO BOX 747; FALLS CHURCH; VA; 22040-0747; US Patent Application Number: 20020009214 Date filed: May 17, 2001 Abstract: Conventional systems mainly include technical aspects and it is not a main purpose to display a changed result accurately. Therefore, its processing time is significantly long.Thus, there are provided an image input device for inputting face data as digital data, an image output device for inputting change information on the face data and a terminal for storing a virtual cosmetic surgery program, extracting from the face data based on the change information a changing part including a feature part to be changed in predetermined manner and an absorbing part surrounding the feature part and absorbing a gap with respect to the periphery caused by a change and performing predetermined changing processing within the extracted changing part.Accordingly, a changing person can obtain an image of his/her face changed partially in naturallooking manner. Excerpt(s): This application is based on Application No. 2000-221864, filed in Japan on Jul. 24, 2000, and Application No. 2000-363032, filed in Japan on Nov. 29, 2000, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.... The present invention relates to a virtual cosmetic surgery system for providing virtual cosmetic surgery services by using face images.... Surgery on a face is performed in plastic or cosmetic surgeries. In such surgeries, it is almost common to show a virtual image after surgery by using some image processing. In that case, it is critical to create in the virtual image a customer's face after the surgery accurately. Thus, size, processing time and user interface of a processing program have been not so important in particular.

In addition to LOCATORPlus, in collaboration with authors and publishers, the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is currently adapting biomedical books for the Web. The books may be accessed in two ways: (1) by searching directly using any search term or phrase (in the same way as the bibliographic database PubMed), or (2) by following the links to PubMed abstracts. Each PubMed abstract has a "Books" button that displays a facsimile of the abstract in which some phrases are hypertext links. These phrases are also found in the books available at NCBI. Click on hyperlinked results in the list of books in which the phrase is found. Currently, the majority of the links are between the books and PubMed. In the future, more links will be created between the books and other types of information, such as gene and protein sequences and macromolecular structures.

Summary: Plastic surgery refers to procedures that repair or reconstruct tissues. Cosmetic surgery encompasses any plastic surgical procedure or set of procedures used to enhance appearance. This chapter, from a book on the clinical care of the professional voice, discusses facial plastic surgery in professional voice users. Many singers also play musical instruments, so the authors include a few additional comments to highlight selected effects of facial plastic surgery on instrumental performance. Topics include general considerations, such as the choice of surgeon, procedures, limitations, and financial concerns; and special considerations, including anesthesia and effects on voice and instrumental performance. A final section discusses the role of the rehabilitative team. The authors conclude that if all questions and concerns are dealt with preoperatively, safe and effective cosmetic surgery can be accomplished in the professional voice user population. 2 tables. 3 references.

Cosmetic Surgery: Laser Resurfacing Slows the Hands of Time Source: Harvard Health Letter. 21(10):4-5; August 1996. Contact: Available from Harvard Health Letter, P.O. Box 380, Boston, MA 02117. Summary: This newsletter article for the general public describes the use of lasers to resurface skin to remove wrinkles, roughness, and discoloration that accompany aging. Although dermabrasion and chemical peels have been used for many years by dermatologists and other specialists to improve photoaged skin or remove acne or chicken pox scars, short-pulse and rapid-scanning carbon dioxide lasers are now being used in cosmetic surgery. Reasons for the increasing use of laser resurfacing are identified. The process of laser resurfacing is described, and postoperative care is explained. In addition, complications are highlighted. 1 figure.

Physician Resources 81

Coffee Break: Tutorials for Biologists16 Coffee Break is a general healthcare site that takes a scientific view of the news and covers recent breakthroughs in biology that may one day assist physicians in developing treatments. Here you will find a collection of short reports on recent biological discoveries. Each report incorporates interactive tutorials that demonstrate how bioinformatics tools are used as a part of the research process. Currently, all Coffee Breaks are written by NCBI staff.17 Each report is about 400 words and is usually based on a discovery reported in one or more articles from recently published, peer-reviewed literature.18 This site has new articles every few weeks, so it can be considered an online magazine of sorts. It is intended for general background information. You can access the Coffee Break Web site at the following hyperlink: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Coffeebreak/.

Other Commercial Databases In addition to resources maintained by official agencies, other databases exist that are commercial ventures addressing medical professionals. Here are some examples that may interest you: •

CliniWeb International: Index and table of contents to selected clinical information on the Internet; see http://www.ohsu.edu/cliniweb/.

•

Medical World Search: Searches full text from thousands of selected medical sites on the Internet; see http://www.mwsearch.com/.

16 Adapted 17

from http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Coffeebreak/Archive/FAQ.html.

The figure that accompanies each article is frequently supplied by an expert external to NCBI, in which case the source of the figure is cited. The result is an interactive tutorial that tells a biological story. 18 After a brief introduction that sets the work described into a broader context, the report focuses on how a molecular understanding can provide explanations of observed biology and lead to therapies for diseases. Each vignette is accompanied by a figure and hypertext links that lead to a series of pages that interactively show how NCBI tools and resources are used in the research process.

83

APPENDIX B. PATIENT RESOURCES Overview Official agencies, as well as federally funded institutions supported by national grants, frequently publish a variety of guidelines written with the patient in mind. These are typically called “Fact Sheets” or “Guidelines.” They can take the form of a brochure, information kit, pamphlet, or flyer. Often they are only a few pages in length. Since new guidelines on cosmetic surgery can appear at any moment and be published by a number of sources, the best approach to finding guidelines is to systematically scan the Internet-based services that post them.

Patient Guideline Sources The remainder of this chapter directs you to sources which either publish or can help you find additional guidelines on topics related to cosmetic surgery. Due to space limitations, these sources are listed in a concise manner. Do not hesitate to consult the following sources by either using the Internet hyperlink provided, or, in cases where the contact information is provided, contacting the publisher or author directly. The National Institutes of Health The NIH gateway to patients is located at http://health.nih.gov/. From this site, you can search across various sources and institutes, a number of which are summarized below. Topic Pages: MEDLINEplus The National Library of Medicine has created a vast and patient-oriented healthcare information portal called MEDLINEplus. Within this Internet-based system are “health topic pages” which list links to available materials relevant to cosmetic surgery. To access this system, log on to http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/healthtopics.html. From there you can either search using the alphabetical index or browse by broad topic areas. Recently, MEDLINEplus listed the following when searched for “cosmetic surgery”:

You may also choose to use the search utility provided by MEDLINEplus at the following Web address: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/. Simply type a keyword into the search box and click “Search.” This utility is similar to the NIH search utility, with the exception that it only includes materials that are linked within the MEDLINEplus system (mostly patient-oriented information). It also has the disadvantage of generating unstructured results. We recommend, therefore, that you use this method only if you have a very targeted search.

Plastic Surgery Considered Source: Sharon, MA: PXE International. 2001. 4 p. Contact: Available from PXE International. 23 Mountain Street, Sharon, MA 02067. (781) 784-3817. Fax (781) 784-6672. E-mail: [email protected]. Website: www.pxe.org. PRICE: Single copy free. Summary: This fact sheet, which is based on a presentation given at the International Centennial Meeting on Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum (PXE), provides people who have PXE with information on plastic surgery. Wrinkles, folds, and looseness of the skin may result from PXE, and these can be removed with plastic surgery. However, the cobblestone appearance of the skin cannot be changed by surgery. One surgical technique that can be used in people affected by PXE is a procedure called direct excision. The folds and loose skin are smoothed out by pulling the skin in one direction, and the excess skin is cut away. However, this procedure may leave an obvious scar. Other procedures that can be used to improve the appearance of folds and loose skin include a face lift, a neck lift, or tightening of the skin of the breasts or abdomen. Anyone considering one of these procedures should find out where the incisions will be and understand that permanent scarring could occur. A person who is considering surgery should have a thorough preoperative cardiac workup and an evaluation of all other systems. Postoperative complications include scarring, calcium extrusion, infections, reaction to anesthesia, and risk of hematoma. One difficulty PXE patients deal with in deciding whether to undergo plastic surgery is that insurance coverage may be initially denied for some patients. The key to the decision is usually based on the definition of plastic surgery as either reconstructive surgery or cosmetic surgery. PXE is a congenital condition, so corrective procedures should be defined as reconstructive surgery and, thus, covered by insurance. The National Guideline Clearinghouse™

The National Guideline Clearinghouse™ offers hundreds of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines published in the United States and other countries.

The NIH search utility allows you to search for documents on over 100 selected Web sites that comprise the NIH-WEB-SPACE. Each of these servers is “crawled” and indexed on an ongoing basis. Your search will produce a list of various documents, all of which will relate in some way to cosmetic surgery. The drawbacks of this approach are that the information is not organized by theme and that the references are often a mix of information for professionals and patients. Nevertheless, a large number of the listed Web sites provide useful background information. We can only recommend this route, therefore, for relatively rare or specific disorders, or when using highly targeted searches. To use the NIH search utility, visit the following Web page: http://search.nih.gov/index.html. Additional Web Sources

A number of Web sites are available to the public that often link to government sites. These can also point you in the direction of essential information. The following is a representative sample: •

APPENDIX C. FINDING MEDICAL LIBRARIES Overview In this Appendix, we show you how to quickly find a medical library in your area.

Preparation Your local public library and medical libraries have interlibrary loan programs with the National Library of Medicine (NLM), one of the largest medical collections in the world. According to the NLM, most of the literature in the general and historical collections of the National Library of Medicine is available on interlibrary loan to any library. If you would like to access NLM medical literature, then visit a library in your area that can request the publications for you.19

Finding a Local Medical Library The quickest method to locate medical libraries is to use the Internet-based directory published by the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM). This network includes 4626 members and affiliates that provide many services to librarians, health professionals, and the public. To find a library in your area, simply visit http://nnlm.gov/members/adv.html or call 1-800-338-7657.

Medical Libraries in the U.S. and Canada In addition to the NN/LM, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) lists a number of libraries with reference facilities that are open to the public. The following is the NLM’s list and includes hyperlinks to each library’s Web site. These Web pages can provide information on hours of operation and other restrictions. The list below is a small sample of

COSMETIC SURGERY DICTIONARY The definitions below are derived from official public sources, including the National Institutes of Health [NIH] and the European Union [EU]. Abdomen: That portion of the body that lies between the thorax and the pelvis. [NIH] ACE: Angiotensin-coverting enzyme. A drug used to decrease pressure inside blood vessels. [NIH] Acne: A disorder of the skin marked by inflammation of oil glands and hair glands. [NIH] Acupuncture Anesthesia: Insertion of acupuncture needles at specific points in the body to block the afferent nerve impulses from reaching the brain, thus producing the loss of sensation of pain. The technique is used in performing surgery. [NIH] Adjuvant: A substance which aids another, such as an auxiliary remedy; in immunology, nonspecific stimulator (e.g., BCG vaccine) of the immune response. [EU] Adolescence: The period of life beginning with the appearance of secondary sex characteristics and terminating with the cessation of somatic growth. The years usually referred to as adolescence lie between 13 and 18 years of age. [NIH] Afferent: Concerned with the transmission of neural impulse toward the central part of the nervous system. [NIH] Ageing: A physiological or morphological change in the life of an organism or its parts, generally irreversible and typically associated with a decline in growth and reproductive vigor. [NIH] Albumin: 1. Any protein that is soluble in water and moderately concentrated salt solutions and is coagulable by heat. 2. Serum albumin; the major plasma protein (approximately 60 per cent of the total), which is responsible for much of the plasma colloidal osmotic pressure and serves as a transport protein carrying large organic anions, such as fatty acids, bilirubin, and many drugs, and also carrying certain hormones, such as cortisol and thyroxine, when their specific binding globulins are saturated. Albumin is synthesized in the liver. Low serum levels occur in protein malnutrition, active inflammation and serious hepatic and renal disease. [EU] Algorithms: A procedure consisting of a sequence of algebraic formulas and/or logical steps to calculate or determine a given task. [NIH] Alkaline: Having the reactions of an alkali. [EU] Alopecia: Absence of hair from areas where it is normally present. [NIH] Alpha Particles: Positively charged particles composed of two protons and two neutrons, i.e., helium nuclei, emitted during disintegration of very heavy isotopes; a beam of alpha particles or an alpha ray has very strong ionizing power, but weak penetrability. [NIH] Alternative medicine: Practices not generally recognized by the medical community as standard or conventional medical approaches and used instead of standard treatments. Alternative medicine includes the taking of dietary supplements, megadose vitamins, and herbal preparations; the drinking of special teas; and practices such as massage therapy, magnet therapy, spiritual healing, and meditation. [NIH] Amnestic: Nominal aphasia; a difficulty in finding the right name for an object. [NIH] Amygdala: Almond-shaped group of basal nuclei anterior to the inferior horn of the lateral ventricle of the brain, within the temporal lobe. The amygdala is part of the limbic system.

102 Cosmetic surgery

[NIH]

Anaesthesia: Loss of feeling or sensation. Although the term is used for loss of tactile sensibility, or of any of the other senses, it is applied especially to loss of the sensation of pain, as it is induced to permit performance of surgery or other painful procedures. [EU] Analgesic: An agent that alleviates pain without causing loss of consciousness. [EU] Anatomical: Pertaining to anatomy, or to the structure of the organism. [EU] Anesthesia: A state characterized by loss of feeling or sensation. This depression of nerve function is usually the result of pharmacologic action and is induced to allow performance of surgery or other painful procedures. [NIH] Anions: Negatively charged atoms, radicals or groups of atoms which travel to the anode or positive pole during electrolysis. [NIH] Antecedent: Existing or occurring before in time or order often with consequential effects. [EU]

Anterior chamber: The space in front of the iris and behind the cornea. [NIH] Antibacterial: A substance that destroys bacteria or suppresses their growth or reproduction. [EU] Antibiotic: A drug used to treat infections caused by bacteria and other microorganisms. [NIH]

Antibiotic Prophylaxis: Use of antibiotics before, during, or after a diagnostic, therapeutic, or surgical procedure to prevent infectious complications. [NIH] Antibody: A type of protein made by certain white blood cells in response to a foreign substance (antigen). Each antibody can bind to only a specific antigen. The purpose of this binding is to help destroy the antigen. Antibodies can work in several ways, depending on the nature of the antigen. Some antibodies destroy antigens directly. Others make it easier for white blood cells to destroy the antigen. [NIH] Antiepileptic: An agent that combats epilepsy. [EU] Antigen: Any substance which is capable, under appropriate conditions, of inducing a specific immune response and of reacting with the products of that response, that is, with specific antibody or specifically sensitized T-lymphocytes, or both. Antigens may be soluble substances, such as toxins and foreign proteins, or particulate, such as bacteria and tissue cells; however, only the portion of the protein or polysaccharide molecule known as the antigenic determinant (q.v.) combines with antibody or a specific receptor on a lymphocyte. Abbreviated Ag. [EU] Anxiety: Persistent feeling of dread, apprehension, and impending disaster. [NIH] Anxiolytic: An anxiolytic or antianxiety agent. [EU] Arterial: Pertaining to an artery or to the arteries. [EU] Arteries: The vessels carrying blood away from the heart. [NIH] Artery: Vessel-carrying blood from the heart to various parts of the body. [NIH] Astrocytes: The largest and most numerous neuroglial cells in the brain and spinal cord. Astrocytes (from "star" cells) are irregularly shaped with many long processes, including those with "end feet" which form the glial (limiting) membrane and directly and indirectly contribute to the blood brain barrier. They regulate the extracellular ionic and chemical environment, and "reactive astrocytes" (along with microglia) respond to injury. Astrocytes have high- affinity transmitter uptake systems, voltage-dependent and transmitter-gated ion channels, and can release transmitter, but their role in signaling (as in many other functions) is not well understood.

system) and complement regulatory proteins are known by semisystematic or trivial names. Fragments resulting from proteolytic cleavage of complement proteins are designated with lower-case letter suffixes, e.g., C3a. Inactivated fragments may be designated with the suffix 'i', e.g. C3bi. Activated components or complexes with biological activity are designated by a bar over the symbol e.g. C1 or C4b,2a. The classic pathway is activated by the binding of C1 to classic pathway activators, primarily antigen-antibody complexes containing IgM, IgG1, IgG3; C1q binds to a single IgM molecule or two adjacent IgG molecules. The alternative pathway can be activated by IgA immune complexes and also by nonimmunologic materials including bacterial endotoxins, microbial polysaccharides, and cell walls. Activation of the classic pathway triggers an enzymatic cascade involving C1, C4, C2 and C3; activation of the alternative pathway triggers a cascade involving C3 and factors B, D and P. Both result in the cleavage of C5 and the formation of the membrane attack complex. Complement activation also results in the formation of many biologically active complement fragments that act as anaphylatoxins, opsonins, or chemotactic factors.
