Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a potentially disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system). In MS, the immune system attacks the protective sheath (myelin) that covers nerve fibers and causes communication problems between your brain and the rest of your body. Eventually, the disease can cause the nerves themselves to deteriorate or become permanently damaged. Signs and symptoms of MS vary widely and depend on the amount of nerve damage and which nerves are affected. Some people with severe MS may lose the ability to walk independently or at all, while others may experience long periods of remission without any new symptoms. There's no cure for multiple sclerosis. However, treatments can help speed recovery from attacks, modify the course of the disease and manage symptoms

Minimally invasive surgery has been shown to be feasible and safe in pediatric patients since 1975 when laparoscopic surgery was first used to treat a small bowel obstruction. Laparoscopy is an option for surgical repair of inguinal hernias in addition to the traditional open approach.

procedure is usually done in the hospital or outpatient surgical center under general anesthesia (while you are asleep and pain-free). The procedure is performed in the following way: The surgeon makes a small cut (incision) below the belly button (navel). A needle or tube is inserted into the incision. Carbon dioxide gas is passed into the abdomen through the needle or tube. The gas helps expand the area, giving the surgeon more room to work, and helping the surgeon see the organs more clearly. A tube is placed through the cut in your abdomen. A tiny video camera (laparoscope) goes through this tube and is used to see the inside of your pelvis and abdomen. More small cuts may be made if other instruments are needed to get a better view of certain organs. If you are having gynecologic laparoscopy, dye may be injected into your cervix area so the surgeon can view your fallopian tubes. After the exam, the gas, laparoscope, and instruments are removed, and the cuts are closed. You will have bandages over those areas.

Prompted by the hormone prolactin, the alveoli take proteins, sugars, and fat from your blood supply and make breast milk. A network of cells surrounding the alveoli squeeze the glands and push the milk out into the ductules, which lead to a bigger duct.

If you are tired of dealing with glasses or squinting to read signs in the distance, then you should consider LASIK Eye Surgery. In this outpatient refractive procedure, lasers are used to correct vision issues by changing the structure of the cornea. This may entirely eliminate reliance upon glasses or contacts. In this interactive LASIK Eye Surgery, you will assist in numbing the patient’s eye and cleaning the area for the procedure. With a speculum, you will hold the eye open, mark the cornea using a water-soluble ink, then attach a suction ring to it. After that, a specialized blade device is used to cut into the corneal flap and peel it back so that the laser can clear away corneal tissue underneath. This process corrects the shape of the cornea in less than a minute before putting the corneal flap back in place. After the procedure, we will go over LASIK Eye Surgery recovery instructions. Scrub in and let’s get started!

His father, Dr. Joseph Dello Russo, helped turn Lasik eye surgery into the widespread procedure it is today. Now he explains a new technique and how it differs.
