Plastic Surgery and...Leeches?
You've probably heard the old Bible verse, "there is nothing new under the sun." While just a moment's reflection reveals that the phrase is not really accurate, it may seem otherwise when you read about the comeback leeches are making in medical applications.
Several years ago, it, a website that presents news on science, technology and medicine in an accessible format, reported that both maggots and leeches were again being used by doctors to treat wounds that weren't healing properly and during surgical procedures that were likely to cause blood to pool and restrict healthy circulation.
LiveScience noted that in centuries past, leeches took on all kinds of health challenges from headaches to hemorrhoids--the dubious to the logical, you might say. Today they're most often used to "drain blood from swollen faces, limbs and digits after reconstructive surgery."
You're not alone if the thought grosses you out. You might feel slightly better to know that in 2004 the United States Food and Drug Administration approved the marketing of maggots and leeches for medicinal use in the U.S. and regulates them as they do other "medical devices." Also, today's medical grade leeches are raised in a clean environment, not harvested from muddy rivers and stagnant swamps.
In plastic surgery applications, leeches have several advantages. The first is their efficiency in helping blood to drain from small body parts where veins are easily clogged. The many proteins secreted in leech saliva also help numb pain. All this and a potentially modest price tag too: the article posted on the LiveScience website reported that 500-1,000 medical-grade leeches cost about $70 in 2004.
Plastic surgeons are starting to use leeches more often as a way to promote healing after reconstructive surgery. The creatures, technically segmented worms with the scientific name Hirudo medicinalis, are used primarily after surgery on areas where the blood vessels are small, such as fingers, hands and ears. Leech therapy can also be effective in cases involving skin flaps transplanted from one part of the body to another.

10 Symptoms Women Shouldn't Ignore
You work hard taking care of your family, friends and work. But are you taking care of yourself? Too often we ignore symptoms because we're just too busy to bother getting checked out. That can be a big – possibly fatal – mistake. Find out the 10 symptoms you shouldn't ignore…
More often than not, it's the smart, educated women who put off going to the doctor, even when it should be a top priority, says Judy Kinzy, M.D., an internal medicine specialist in Knoxville, Tenn. It's not unusual for a woman to come in long after a symptom has persisted.
"They read about it and try to figure it out on their own," Kinzy says. "They don't think about possible consequences. Bottom line, they don't really want to have to deal with it."
But not addressing a mysterious problem can be dangerous – and can even lead to a chronic or fatal disease. Check out these symptoms you shouldn't ignore:
1. Acute Fatigue
Let's face it: Women are used to being tired. Who doesn't have a book-length "to-do" list? Take car to mechanic, go to bank, pick up cat food, take children to soccer game, finish project at work, get mechanic, check on Mom and Dad… and on and on.
Overload leads to fatigue, but when low energy and exhaustion are chronic and continue for more than two weeks, see a doctor.
Acute fatigue can be a difficult symptom to diagnose, Kinzy says, but that doesn't mean you should ignore it. It can indicate hypothyroidism, which can be treated with a hormone, or anemia, which is treatable with iron or vitamin B12 shots.
More seriously, it can be a sign of depression, sleep apnea, heart disease or even lung cancer.
2. Rectal Bleeding
Pregnant women who've had hemorrhoids while pregnant might dismiss rectal bleeding as a sign of a new hemorrhoid and not take it seriously, says Ruth Stewart, M.D., assistant professor at Meharry Medical College and Vanderbilt University.
Rectal bleeding can indeed indicate a hemorrhoid, but it can also be a sign of colon or rectal cancer, which is curable if caught early, she says.
If you experience rectal bleeding, see a doctor right away. And even if it's just a hemorrhoid, it still needs to be treated.
3. Abdominal Bloating and Pain, Change in Bowel Habits
Like rectal bleeding, abdominal bloating and pain or a change in bowel habits can indicate something serious like colon cancer.
These symptoms also can signal ovarian cancer, inflammatory bowel syndrome or diverticulitis.
Diverticulitis occurs when you have small pouches that bulge outward in your colon (diverticulosis) that get infected. It can be treated with antibiotics but sometimes requires surgery.
If you experience abdominal bloating or a persistent change in bowel habits, such as constipation, make an appointment with your doctor.
4. Pain or Discomfort in Chest
Heart disease may be the No.1 killer of American women, but "most women still don't think about it happening to them," Kinzy says. "Then it ends up being about their heart."
The signs of coronary artery disease, which can lead to a heart attack, are typically much more subtle in women than in men.
"Angina isn't always obvious in women. It's not the classic ‘elephant sitting on my chest' feeling," Stewart says. "Sometimes it's just discomfort or a ‘not well' feeling."
Women might misdiagnose the discomfort as acid reflux or a "burpy" sensation.
One of Stewart's former patients said the feeling was akin to having a balloon inside her chest. She assumed it was acid reflux, took a Maalox and went to work; a few hours later, she came into the hospital having a heart attack.
If you're having trouble exerting yourself, have some discomfort or pain in your chest, or you're just not feeling normal, see a doctor immediately.
And check out our guide to acid reflux.
5. Heart Palpitations
Heart palpitations are often related to stress. But if persistent, they can also be a sign of atrial fibrillation, or an irregular heartbeat.
Without treatment for atrial fibrillation, you increase your risk of having a stroke, especially if you have these other heart disease risk factors: abdominal girth of more than 35 inches in women, high cholesterol, high blood pressure or being a smoker.
6. Shortness of Breath
Shortness of breath is yet another symptom of heart disease. But it can also be a sign of other serious health problems, such as pneumonia, asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, lung cancer or even a blood clot.
If you're having continual or increased problems breathing, make an appointment to be evaluated.

7. Pelvic Pain During Intercourse
It's not normal to have pelvic pain during sex, so pay attention if this symptom occurs.
If pelvic pain happens during deep penetration, it could indicate pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), endometriosis, an ovarian cyst or cervicitis, an infection of the cervix.
Pelvic pain upon entry can mean a vaginal infection or a hormone deficiency. If sex is painful, don't shrug it off – go to the doctor. An untreated infection can lead to infertility.
8. Change in the Appearance of a Mole
Melanoma (skin cancer) is often linked to a change in moles, so check them, along with freckles, regularly for any difference in their appearance.
Follow the ABCD method recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation and the American Academy of Dermatology to help detect possible problems:
If the mole is A, asymmetrical; B, has uneven borders; C, has changed in color; or D, changed in diameter, see a dermatologist immediately.
Any changes in your skin, such as a growth or a sore that won't heal, are also potential indicators of melanoma.
Learn more about the ABCDs of skin cancer.
9. Breast Lumps
Know your breasts intimately. Examine them monthly to detect any new masses or lumps.
Confused about last year's change in mammogram guidelines? Talk to your doctor to determine how often you should be getting mammograms.
Also, check out Which Breast Test Is Best for You?
Potentially cancerous lumps usually feel like small stones or rocks in your breast, Kinzy says. Non-cancerous lumps are typically more tender and change with your menstrual cycle. But this is not always the case, so check with your doctor if a new lump appears.
10. Swelling in Legs or Persistent Pain in Joints
If you notice swelling in one or both legs, particularly after you've been traveling in a car or airplane, see a doctor. Swelling in one leg can mean a blood clot. If it's in both legs, it could be a sign of kidney or liver disease.
Chronic or constant pain in joints could mean something more serious than arthritis, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, which may require steroid treatment.
More often than not, it's the smart, educated women who put off going to the doctor, even when it should be a top priority, says Judy Kinzy, M.D., an internal medicine specialist in Knoxville, Tenn. It's not unusual for a woman to come in long after a symptom has persisted.

Virginia Book Notes
Despite America's increasingly mobile society, a Southerner's move to New York remains a major cultural undertaking, and it's one that Jane Borden describes with hilarity in her first book, "I Totally Meant to Do That" (240 pages, Broadway, $14).
Borden grew up in Greensboro, N.C., went to boarding school in Virginia and college in Chapel Hill, N.C., all stopping posts along the way for the perfect Southern belle.
But consider this episode from her senior year in high school, in which she played Miss Bessom in Shirley Jackson's adaptation of her story "The Lottery."
"Our director said to smile and project. Apparently, I understood that to mean grimace and shout. I'd have been hailed as a star had the stage directions for Miss Bessom read, ‘played as a man with hearing loss and hemorrhoids.' … Bottom line: I couldn't act my way out of a paper bag if it were made of me-sized holes."
There's much more, and just as funny, in Borden's account of her transformation from belle to hipster.
A memoir in essays, "I Totally Meant to Do That" will find a place in the hearts of any Southerner who has lived in the North. Part cautionary tale, part celebration, it establishes Borden as a worthy successor to Fredericksburg's estimable Florence King.
History can be found throughout the Old Dominion, but one of the state's wealthiest regions is the Northern Neck, the birthplace of George Washington, James Madison, James Monroe and Robert E. Lee, among other notables.
In "Historic Sites in Virginia's Northern Neck & Essex County" (290 pages, Preservation Virginia, Northern Neck Branch, $40 hardcover, $24.95 paperback), editor Thomas A. Wolf describes 460 historic sites, including grand plantations, more modest early homes, churches, schools and courthouses in Essex, King George, Lancaster, Northumberland, Richmond and Westmoreland counties.
Complete with 445 photos and 36 maps, it's a valuable guide to day (or longer) trips to the area, a resource for armchair travel and a source of memories and learning for longtime residents and newcomers to the region.
Wolf is a retired official of the International Monetary Fund. He serves on the boards of Preservation Virginia's Northern Neck Branch and the Society of the Lees in Virginia, and he is vice president and editor of the annual journal of the Northumberland County Historical Society.
Also:
John Rozema, who lives in Southside Virginia, has written "The Stories I Never Told You" (320 pages, Pleasant Word, $19.99), his account of finding God and bringing him into his life.
Father and daughter Roger Bruner and Kristi Rae Bruner of Glen Allen have teamed up on "Found in Translation" (369 pages, Barbour Books, $9.99), a work of Christian fiction.
Patricia Keen-Diaz, a former resident of Hampton who now lives in Portsmouth, has completed her memoir, "Odd Road to Kabul" (286 pages, Bucko and Chicky Publishing, $37.33). Told through a survivor's perspective, it has been 40 years in the making.
The second edition of "Profiles of Virginia — History, Statistics, Demographics for 759 Populated Places in Virginia Including Comparative Statistics & Rankings" (500 pages, Universal Reference Publications/Grey House Publishing, $149) has been published.

Donohue: Mineral oil not the safest way to stay regular
Dear Dr. Donohue: Please let me know what you think about my way of staying regular.
Every day I take a shot of mineral oil. It keeps my bowels loose. I also have
hemorrhoids, and the mineral oil keeps them from acting up. It seems to coat them.
What do you think of this? -- K.R.
Dr. Donohue: Mineral oil softens the stool. That is helpful for hemorrhoid control.
Straining to eliminate enlarges hemorrhoids. However, mineral oil isn't the safest
stool softener. Mineral oil poses a danger: It can drip into your airways and lungs.
That produces what's called lipid pneumonia, a serious problem. It also binds vitamins
A, D, E and K, and prevents their absorption.
You can keep your stools soft in safer ways. Fiber works well. Many cereals have a
high fiber content. You also can purchase psyllium-containing products like Metamucil,
Fiberall and Perdiem to keep stool hydrated and soft. Stop the mineral-oil treatments.
Dear Dr. Donohue: I smoked my last cigarette two days ago. I think about lighting up
constantly. Smoking gave me a lot of pleasure. I liked smoking after eating and with
coffee or beer.
How long do these urges last? I'm not sure I can resist them if they stay this strong.
-- L.F.
Dr. Donohue: Nicotine withdrawal symptoms vary from one person to the next. You might
have trouble concentrating, and you might be irritable and unable to fall asleep for
two or three weeks.
The desire for a cigarette lasts longer. The brain doesn't forget pleasurable
sensations, but even these ingrained longings do disappear in time.
If you're having a problem resisting the urge to light up, try one of the many ways of
withdrawing from nicotine more slowly. Nicotine gum, nicotine skin patches or oral
nicotine pave the way to total nicotine abandonment. Chantix, a prescription item, can
help you through the period of denicotinization.

First Device to Prevent Hemorrhoids During Vaginal Birth Given FDA Approval
Natural child birth is famous for the vaginal pain women experience, but it ain't no
joke that the anus is also subject to a good deal of force in the process. That is why
around a quarter of vaginal births result in hemorrhoids, something you really don't
want to be dealing with when you just had a baby. Nurses will often use their hand to
counteract the pressure on the anus, but this can be extremely tiring as labor can take
hours. David Blurton, a medical device industry veteran, became acutely aware of the
problem when his wife gave birth. Confounded by the fact that there was no available
solution to the issue, he developed the Hem-Avert device that effectively reproduces
the actions of the nurse's hand in preventing hemorrhoids.
Plexus Biomedical out of Oakland, TN, the company started by Blurton, has received FDA
clearance for the Hem-Avert. This followed a clinical study that showed that the new
device prevented hemorrhoids in all of the women that wore it during labor compared
with a 25% hemorrhoid rate in the control group.
Because of the novel nature of the device, incomparable with anything else that has
come before the FDA, it went through a rather rare de novo 510(k) clearance process.
More about the Hem-Avert from the product insert:
The Hem-Avert Perianal Stabilizer is a non-invasive instrument used to help provide
continuous pressure to the anus and perianal region as a means to provide support
during the labor process. Hem-Avert Perianal Stabilizer is a single-use disposable
instrument used only during vaginal deliveries. The instrument consists of three
components. The rigid polymer base is manufactured from medical grade polycarbonate.
The centrally located cushioning pad is made of a laminate of medical grade polyester
non-woven tape and medical grade polyethylene foam tape.
The instrument is kept in place by two lateral hook and loop fasteners (loop strips
that attach to the mating hook) that are attached to adhesive tape. The adhesive tape
is made from medical grade resin acetate woven fabric. The cushioning pad and adhesive
strips are manufactured from materials commonly used in medical procedures.
