1st Near-Total Face Transplant on Woman

Health Industry is growing to advanced levels and particularly in womans area, it has a big market share. We have heard earlier of partial face transplantation news from France in 2006. After that 2 more cases also came in.

Now this year it is for the first time that a near-total face transplant has been done on a woman in US . Around 80% of face was replaced and all this was done at cleveland clinic by reconstructive surgeon Dr. Maria Siemionow. This is a major move and hope that in coming year more people will be able to take the advantage of this.

Woman Faces More Heart Attacks

Over the past years, researchers have found that a major percentage of death rate in woman is more as compared to man. After carrying out analysis they also come to know that a group of women who have a type of heart attack called STEMI i.e. ST elevation myocardial infarction is usually caused by a complete blockage of a coronary artery.

A number of times doctors treating heart the attack patients takes differently if its a woman or men. In case of women they take some time to give aspirin, beta blockers, angioplasty etc. Sometimes these differentiation of treatment can lead to severe circumstances. Moreover the problem is actually with real diagnosis. When women says that she has pain in chest or something else many doctors just see it as normal pain or something else. Also in women there can be a possibility of unvisualized symptoms. So its always good not to take such things in light way.

Although we have gone quite high in understanding these heart attacks in woman but still a thorough diagnosis and timely treatment can help in keeping womans health to the top.
