Usually a sebaceous cyst grows very slowly and doesn't cause pain. However, they can become inflamed or infected, with the overlying skin becoming red, tender, and sore. Sometimes, they occur on a site that is constantly irritated, such as a cyst on your neck that rubs against your collar.
The human brain is the command center for the human nervous system. It receives input from the sensory organs and sends output to the muscles. The human brain has the same basic structure as other mammal brains, but is larger in relation to body size than any other brains.
An educational narration introduces internal birth control methods. The recording explains the diaphragm, the vaginal ring, and the implant, how each prevents pregnancy, and their advantages and requirements. It is presented as general information about contraceptive options.
Dilation and curettage (D&C) is a procedure to remove tissue from inside your uterus. Doctors perform dilation and curettage to diagnose and treat certain uterine conditions — such as heavy bleeding — or to clear the uterine lining after a miscarriage or abortion.
Silent operating-room footage shows the removal of a large brain tumor. The recording follows the surgical team's work without spoken narration, presenting the operation as it proceeds. It is shared for education in neurosurgery and the operative management of intracranial tumors.
Silent footage shows Toby, a baby born prematurely at 24 weeks, receiving care after delivery. The recording follows the infant in a clinical setting without spoken narration. It is shared as a family-recorded account of a birth at 24 weeks and the neonatal care that follows it.
A below knee amputation operation is shown in this surgical video. The procedure demonstrates the operative removal of the lower leg below the knee joint in an operating room setting. The recording is presented for surgical education on amputation technique and limb surgery procedures.
This is an Abdominal Liposuction surgery performed by Dr. Art Foley. Liposuction is a procedure that can help sculpt the body by removing unwanted fat from specific areas including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms and neck. Although no type of liposuction is a substitute for dieting and exercise, liposuction can remove stubborn areas of fat that don't respond to traditional weight loss methods.
Step by step, this demonstration covers male Foley catheter insertion, from sterile preparation and draping to advancing the catheter and securing it once urine flows. It is a practical skills resource for nursing and medical students. Procedure education only — not personal medical advice.
Female urinary catheter insertion is demonstrated in this clinical skills video. The recording shows the sterile technique used to place a catheter into the bladder through the urethra. It is a training resource for nursing and medical students learning urinary catheterization procedures.
Breast abscesses are often linked to mastitis – a condition that causes breast pain and swelling (inflammation), and usually affects women who are breastfeeding. Infections can occur during breastfeeding if bacteria enter your breast tissue, or if the milk ducts (tiny tubes) become blocked. This can cause mastitis which, if not treated, can result in an abscess forming. Women who aren't breastfeeding can also develop mastitis if bacteria enter the milk ducts through a sore or cracked nipple, or a nipple piercing. White blood cells are sent to attack the infection, which causes tissue at the site of the infection to die. This creates a small, hollow area that fills with pus (an abscess).
TAA is performed either under general anesthetic or nerve block. A tourniquet is used at the time of surgery to control bleeding and improve visualization during the surgery. The ankle is approached from the front or the side depending on the type of implant being used. Bone is then cut, allowing for placement of the metal and plastic components that re-create the ankle joint. Sometimes the patient will have a tight calf muscle or tight Achilles tendon that needs to be lengthened to improve range of motion of the ankle. The wounds are then closed using stitches or staples, and a splint is applied. A period of non-weightbearing in either a cast or cast boot is necessary to allow the implants to heal in place.
A natural, unmedicated approach to labor and birth will suit you best if you want to remain in control of your body as much as possible, be an active participant throughout labor, and have minimal routine interventions such as continuous electronic monitoring. If you choose to go this route, you accept the potential for pain and discomfort as part of giving birth. But with the right preparation and support, women often feel empowered and deeply satisfied by natural childbirth.
