Calf Augmentation Procedure
This procedure offers a solution for those people that have underdeveloped calves or wish to augment them. The idea is to shape and size the calves by surgical insertion of implants. The implants are made of soft silicon and they come in different shapes and sizes. Before the operation your legs will be measured to select a proper implant for your needs. There is an alternative to implants. Calf augmentation can also be performed by liposuction of fat from other body parts and injecting it into the calves. This method is not suitable for people with no extra fat to be removed. Another problem is fat absorption that eventually occurs, sometimes creating not symmetric calves. Men and women can benefit from this procedure. Men usually want to increase the muscle bulk, giving them more masculine look and women wish to get more symmetrical appearance of their legs. This procedure also may help to correct some congenital defects, those include polio, spina bifida and clubfoot, all this conditions may be associated with undeveloped calves.
This procedure can be done with local or general anesthesia, and it usually lasts for an hour. During the operation the patient is laying on their back. A cut is made in the concavity behind the knee, then the skin is gently separated and a space is created. The implant is inserted above the muscles. After one leg is done the doctor performs the same on the other one. After the symmetry is confirmed the surgeon closes the cuts with stitches.
Every operation has its ricks. This one includes bleeding, infection and sometimes implants shrinkage and asymmetry.
After the surgery you may feel some degree of pain. Your doctor'll subscribe you for painkillers. At the first two days you'll be asked to raise your legs whenever you are sitting, this to reduce swelling. Afterwards, the bandages are removed and you are encouraged to walk more intensively to train your calve muscles. For about two weeks you'll fell like you're calves is been through excessive workout. Swelling and bruising also may appear, they are only temporary and will improve with time. You'll be able to go back to work after 7-10 days. You'll get detailed instructions from you're surgeon regarding the activities you should avoid, for example long walking, weight lifting and running. Usually, most of the patients are able to return to their daily activities after 4-6 weeks.

Malaysia Holidays Ramadan dates

2008 (1429): Sep 1 - Sep 29
2009 (1430): Aug 21 - Sep 19 Exact dates depend on astronomical observations and may vary from country to country.
Multicultural Malaysia celebrates a vast range of festivals, but the ones to look out for nationwide are Islamic holidays, most notably the fasting month of Ramadhan. During its 30 days, devout Muslims refrain from passing anything through their lips (food, drink, smoke) between sunrise and sunset. People get up early to stuff themselves before sunrise (sahur), and take off early to get back home in time to break fast (buka puasa) at sunset. At the end of the month is the festival of Hari Raya Puasa, also known as Aidilfitri, when pretty much the entire country takes a week or two off to head back home to visit family; this is the one time of year when Kuala Lumpur has no traffic jams, but the rest of the country does, and traveling around Malaysia is best avoided if at all possible.
Malaysia By plane Most international flights land at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) (IATA: KUL | ICAO: WMKK); AirAsia flights now use the new LCC terminal, a 20km road transfer away from the main KLIA terminal. KLIA's predecessor, the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (IATA: SZB | ICAO: WMSA) in Subang near Kuala Lumpur handles chartered and turboprop aircraft.

- Can-Fite BioPharma (TASE:CFBI), a biotechnology company traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, reports that a confirmatory Phase IIb trial is now enrolling patients as part of the ongoing development of CF101. The regulatory process in which the Company was involved during the past few months resulted in approvals for the trial in several countries, including Israel.
- A meta-analysis published in the Annals of Internal Medicine has concluded that N-acetylcysteine is the most effective agent for preventing contrast-induced nephropathy in patients with chronic renal insufficiency. However, whether this risk reduction translates into a benefit in clinical outcomes remains to be proven.
Researchers conducted a meta-analysis to quantify the effects of individual strategies on the prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy and to facilitate the comparison of preventative effects across strategies.
The meta-analysis included 41 trials in which treatment groups received either N-acetylcysteine, theophylline and other agents such as dopamine, fenoldopam, iloprost, statin, furosemide, trimetazidine, bicarbonate, ascorbic acid or mannitol. The primary outcome was the development of contrast-induced nephropathy, defined as an absolute increase in baseline creatinine greater than 44.2 micromol/L or a relative increase greater than 25% at 48 hours after contrast injection.
The researchers reported the following results:
• N-acetylcysteine decreased the risk for contrast-induced nephropathy compared with saline alone (relative risk 0.62, 95% CI 0.44 to 0.88)
• The effects of theophylline on nephropathy were not statistically significant (0.49, 0.23 to 1.06)
• Ascorbic acid reduced contrast-induced nephropathy (0.46, 0.23 to 0.90)
• Bicarbonate reduced contrast-induced nephropathy (0.12, 0.02 to 0.95)
• Furosemide increased the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy (3.27, 1.48 to 7.26)
The researchers concluded that pre-procedural treatment with N-acetylcysteine and theophylline reduce the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy, but although theophylline reduces the risk, the reduction is not statistically significant. Additionally, the researchers state that fenoldopam, furosemide and mannitol did not produce beneficial effects. They recommend that the results of this meta-analysis should be evaluated in a head-to-head study to identify the most efficacious regimen for preventing contrast-induced nephropathy.
The researchers also mention the following limitations of the meta-analysis:
• All trials evaluated surrogate end-points of contrast-induced nephropathy i.e. increase in serum creatinine
• Only data from published trials were incorporated
