Q: 

What do you think is the best quality of a human being?

A: The best quality is to have a good internal character. To be peaceful and stable internally. To send good wishes to everybody. To be truthful and happy in little and big things. To be humble and co-operative in day to day life.. Love! Everything emanates from it, yet there is nothing close to it!. Desire.. Desire leads to so much... and can inspire and incorporate many other qualities!. Understanding. If we take the time to understand, we tend to relate better to people and situations..

Q: 

How can i determine the best quality bariatric mobility scooter?

A: Ideally, your physical therapist should decide which one is best for you so that insurance will cover it. That is if the scooter is of medical necessity. If it is something that you feel you need for comfort, contact the scooter store. They are affordable and have a number of customizing options because the models they sell are for light-moderate use, and are not designed for assisting to increase physical independence or therapeutic goals with mobility. The ones the PTs get scripts for are to assist people who are physically unable to move to due injury or limited movement capabilities and are more expensive and require maintenance and adjustments to further goals. My grandmother and great aunt were very satisfied with everything from the scooter store. It was...
Q: 

Which US American Cities have the best quality healthcare in the country?

A: Patient care is not dependent upon physician care alone. The complete healthcare team is responsible for wholistic care. The healthcare team should be proficient and experienced in their individual scope of practice, thereby implementing quality care to the clients they serve. I''m not aware of any cities that provide health care. quality care would depend on having a doctor qualified to treat your specific medical problem....


Q: 

My mother is 86 and has been diagnosed with primary liver cancer, lesions within the left lobe. This was diagnosed by the oncologist based on an ultrasound, CT scan and elevated liver enzymes. No biopsy has been performed yet, as we were not sure the treatment option warranted it. The oncologist recommeded nexavar or sutent. At her age, level of health and mindset, she does not want to consider major surgery. I have been reading about the radioactive spheres and was wondering if this would be an option. We are most concerned with maintaining the best quality of life with minimal pain for her. We have not gotten a second opinion on her cancer, but think it is in order.

A: Regarding your mother''s conidition, if her lesions are confined to the left lobe, the ideal (and potentially curative) treatment would be a partial hepatectomy. However, I will assume that given her age she has been told this is not an option or she simply is unwilling to proceed with surgery as you have indicated. She does not necessarily need a biopsy to confirm that it is primary liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) if the serum AFP (alpha fetoprotein) is markedly elevated. Sorafenib has been recently demonstrated to improve median survival for patients with unresected HCC (and otherwise relatively good liver function) from a baseline 7.9 months with no treatment to 10.7 months with sorafenib treatment (the recently reported SHARP trial demonstrated this advantage). So she would...

Q: 

BackgroundI am a 44 year old BRCA1 positive woman diagnosed with breast cancer on 14th March 2006.The cancer is grade 3, invasive and multi-focal - 6 tumours varying from tiny to 1.5 cm in upper middle part of the left breast - the nearest to the skin being about a cm away and the nearest to the muscle on the breast wall being a little under a cm away . Tumour is not oestrogen receptive.Following a sentinel node biopsy, lymph nodes were judged to be clear. I had a prophylactic oophorectomy in July 2005 at which time I also had a ?clear? mammogram.Conflicting recommendationsMr Gui is planning to do a bilateral mastectomy (i.e. one side to treat the cancer and the other prophylactic) with immediate LD flap (including implant) reconstructions Professor Audretsch in Germany believes that such an operation is completely crazy ? ?Heroic; too difficult even for me?. He believes that the treatment for the breast cancer should be separated from the reconstruction work, which is not life-saving - the mastectomy has to be done very carefully to make sure all the breast tissue is removed given the BRCA1, and should not be mixed up with any other surgery. He thinks the likely complications from such a large and traumatic operation might seriously compromise the cancer treatment. In particular, he is concerned that the possible complications like skin necrosis, infections, seromas, failure of blood supply to LD flaps, thrombosis, rejection of the implant, etc might risk delaying chemotherapy. He also thinks that skin-sparing mastectomy is a mistake in this multi-focal case since some of the tumours are too close to the skin for comfort. He also notes the seroma which followed the sentinel node biopsy might be a possible complicating factor for the LD flap operation on the left side. Specific questions1. How are we supposed to interpret two such conflicting recommendations? Is there an ideological divide between Germany and UK/US on the issue of immediate reconstruction or is one of these surgeons just wrong? Is Audretsch just being fussy or is Gui being over ambitious and too keen to establish a reputation as a daring surgeon?2. Is there any reason to suppose that combining the cancer-treating mastectomy with other surgery might (even as a small probability) compromise the quality of the cancer-treating surgery? I am concerned not only that all the margins are good around the tumours but that absolutely all the breast tissue is removed so that there is no chance of recurrence.3. Do the extra wound sites and increased trauma to the overall area involved in reconstruction mean that there is an increased risk of recurrence of the cancer? 4. Do the extra complications that arise or might arise from reconstruction and from the contralateral surgery mean that there is any risk of the chemotherapy being delayed and by how much?5. Does the multi-focal nature of the cancer with some nodes near the breast wall and some near the skin mean that (i) skin-sparing surgery may be a mistake, (ii) radiotherapy might be required after all, (iii) the whole thing is just too complicated and dangerous to contemplate combining the mastectomy with reconstruction.6. Is there anything to be said in favour of any middle options between the full bilateral mastectomies with immediate reconstruction and the single left-side mastectomy with no immediate reconstruction ? e.g. just do left-side mastectomy with immediate reconstruction?7. Does the presence of a seroma under left armpit following the sentinel node biopsy indicate against an LD flap operation with the mastectomy?8. Should we be reconsidering whether the Royal Marsden Hospital is the best place for the surgery and Mr Gui assisted by Fiona O?Neill the best surgeons? 9. Is it preferable for the purposes of best quality reconstruction to have the reconstruction done by dedicated plastic surgeons rather than by cancer surgeons (even if they call themselves onco-plastic surgeons)?10. Is the quality of reconstruction significantly worse if delayed?11. Should I stop using the 75 micrograms a day oestrogen patch even though the tumour appears to be oestrogen receptor negative?

A: it is common to do bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction (one for treatment and one for prophylactic measures) and it doesn''t interfere with additional cancer treatment needed afterwards. we do it all the time....
Q: 

What is the best quality bed for 2,000-4,000? What do you prefer a sleep number type bed or tempurpedic bed?

A: I have a temperpedic Acedoh said: 1 mamasu, regarding your answer ''I have a temperpedic'': I bought a generic tempurpedic at Walmart for a temporary solution. I do have the same problem with the mold. After several months it seems to have formed in a certain form. So I do hope the Sleep number can be the ultimate solution.
