ReLife Joins PlacidWay to Expand Gene Therapy Availability with Medical Tourism

PlacidWay medical tourism company and ReLife International Medical Center, located in Beijing, China, recently made a strategic alliance for patients worldwide to be able to access revolutionary gene therapy for chronic diseases.

Denver, CO, USA 1/31/2014: PlacidWay, a US-based global medical tourism company and ReLife International Medical Center, located in Beijing, China, recently made a strategic alliance that will help patients worldwide access revolutionary treatment for chronic diseases.

By combining  Stem Cell therapy, Gene therapy and traditional Chinese treatments, ReLife has managed to create the most effective treatment for complex and rare disorders such as Alzheimer's, Diabetes, Parkinson's, Premature Ovarian Failure, Perimenopause, Infertility and Cancer.

ReLife International Medical Center offers revolutionary Gene Therapy and Stem Cell Therapy as solutions to treat life-threatening diseases, giving a new chance to patients that have tried all the traditional treatments with no success. The clinic's aim is to use elements from the patient's body, combining stem cells and genetics with leading edge technology for an effective and safe treatment. Hundreds of patients accessing medical tourism from the Middle East, Europe and Asia have been already choosing ReLife's Stem Cell therapy and Gene therapy  to treat their chronic diseases.

"ReLife International Medical Center is an international standard medical facility. We are dedicated to providing advanced, professional, safe and effective treatment for domestic and overseas patients," says Professor Zhang, the famed and respected physician who founded the clinic and is now entering the medical tourism industry.

China is known as the leader in Stem Cell Therapy and its achievements in this field are appreciated and acclaimed by specialists all over the world. ReLife is one of China's stem cell therapy pioneers, using adipose-derived stem cells and allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells that have the purpose of locating the damaged tissue and repairing it.

"As the name states, gene therapy uses the DNA as an agent to treat the disease. The method uses autologous cells to carry the targeted gene to the affected tissue and begin the repair process. This therapy not only repairs the damaged tissue, but also eliminates the internal factors which led to the diseases, in the end, curing it completely", explains Professor Zhang.

2000 years old traditional Chinese medicine has been adopted by many other countries thanks to its amazing results. ReLife combines the traditional Chinese medicine methods, such as massage, acupuncture, cupping, , exercise, herbal medicine and dietary therapy, with modern medical techniques for effective, eco-friendly and safe treatments for rare diseases.

"The results from applying this revolutionary method have already brought international recognition to ReLife founder, Dr. Zhang, and two awards for her excellent work. We are proud to have ReLife as our partner in helping global patients have a better life," states Pramod Goel, CEO of PlacidWay.

Breast Augmentation - A Trend in Latin America: Credits to PlacidWay

A tight waist, large breasts, thin legs, lifted buttock, perfect skin, a flat abdomen is what all women want. Do all these make us feel better?

Yes, they do. Because we know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder , we struggle to achieve the ideal ‘us’ we have created in our minds. What do we do when nature does not help us very much, and diets and exercising are a failure? We turn to cosmetic surgery.

Technology is on our side, helping us achieve our goal, no matter what the effort and consequences are. One of the most common and sought for cosmetic procedure is Breast Augmentation. There are dozens of reasons why a woman would choose breast augmentation.

On one hand she was not blessed with large breasts. On the other hand, she is satisfied with her breasts’ appearance, but some changes come along, such as weight loss, pregnancy, breast feeding, aging , deformities, asymmetry, mastectomy, and, therefore, she turns to plastic surgery.

Understanding Breast Augmentation

These days women have a multitude of choices when it comes to breast augmentation: various sizes and shapes, various procedures and various implant types. The two most popular implants are the silicone and saline ones. The costs for Breast Augmentation vary depending on the procedure chosen, the type of implants, the clinic where the procedure is performed and the surgeon who performs it.

Prices vary between $2,900 in Bolivia and $8,000 in the US and Singapore. Fortunately, there are many  cosmetic clinics and hospitals which offer affordable Breast Augmentation packages, so that each woman could have the change to get the breasts she has always dreamed of.

Breast Augmentation in Latin America

Latin America has hundreds of modern cosmetic clinics, fitted with state-of-the-art equipment and taking pride in their highly experienced surgeons, that flawlessly perform cosmetic procedures, including Breast Augmentation. We love to look like a million dollars and the good part is that we can do that without having to pay this excruciating amount. Choose our clinics and Beauty will be your name.

Perfection, Medical Spa & Plastic Surgery, located in Cancun, Mexico, offers an affordable package for Breast Augmentation at only $4,500, including the procedure, anesthesia, transportation airport-clinic, clinic-airport and consultation.

Family Hospital, located in Mexicali, Mexico, offers an affordable breast implant package at $3,920, including the procedures,  pre-surgery consultation, anesthesia and transportation airport-clinic and clinic-airport.

Hispano Americano Medical Group, located in Mexicali, Mexico, offers several plastic surgery packages, including one for Breast Augmentation at $3,920 and one for Breast Lift + Implants at $5,500. Both packages include meals and medications during the stay in hospital, surgical costs (anesthesia, surgeons, hospital stay, equipment and nursing care), one night hospital accommodation, one night hotel accommodation, transportation and case manager assistance in Mexicali.

From early to modern times, breasts  have been considered a symbol of beauty and admiration. Studies show that women who are unhappy with their breasts, might suffer from a lack of confidence,  depression or anxiety. Fortunately, cosmetic surgery can change the way a woman looks at herself and improve her feelings she has towards her body. Seize the moment and make the change you have always wanted.

What is the Difference between Dental Implants vs Dental Veneers

by PlacidWay

Overview

Having healthy teeth is just as important as other aspects of general health. As we age, bone health and strength become more important overall, but should not be limited to arms, legs and spines. The teeth age, chip, and may be lost if proper care and treatment are not performed regularly.

Disease often affects the teeth and they become weak, loose or unsightly.  In the past, when teeth broke, or were removed, dentures became the only option. Today, pleasing tooth alternatives are available to maintain our health, looks and offer viable options for damage due to disease.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are becoming one of the most common dental procedures’ performed all over the world today. Artificial teeth, also known as Endoseal implants are attached directly to the jaw bone or by using a metal framework that is placed over the jaw in cases of disease or inadequate bone structure.

Implants may be made up of different materials, titanium being the most popular due to its strength. Many options are available to secure teeth to the jawbone but the most common type is a root-form titanium dental implant. This is a structure that is placed over the jawbone to which the artificial teeth are attached.

Dental Veneers

Veneers are covers for the teeth. Fitting like a sleeve over existing teeth becomes an option to whitening. Dental veneers may also be used to fill spaces between the teeth, and create the appearance of a straight row of teeth, instead of the laborious process of bracing being used.

Placement is performed in the dental office, and may take several hours to prepare the teeth. Examination and shaving of the teeth to prepare them for fitting may be necessary. A mold is taken of existing teeth and sent to a laboratory for the veneers to be created. Upon return, the patient is fitted with the veneers. Many different processes to bond veneers are used and will be decided between the patient and the dentist.

Most veneers are made of porcelain or a composite material that are strong, resist staining and stay in place for long periods of time.

Which Procedure is best for me?

Dental implants are beneficial to those individuals suffering from dental disease, loss of teeth due to gum disease, aging or trauma causing major tooth loss. Implants are permanent and may need to be adjusted as a person’s age and bone structure changes. Smoking is to be avoided to prevent further bone weakening due to circulatory deficiencies.

Dental veneers are appropriate for anyone with healthy gums and good dental habits. This procedure offers reduced cost for cleaning the teeth, offers a protective cover for teeth, and maintains a healthy smile.

How Much Does it Cost?

Dental implants may cost from $1,000 to $5,000 per tooth in the United States. Whole mouth procedures may cost anywhere from $20,000 to $100,000 in country. South America, Mexico may offer this same procedure for as much as 75% less! The cost of dental veneers depends on the type of veneer chosen, number of teeth being covered and location of the procedure. Typically, porcelain veneers in the United States cost between $1,000 and $2,500 per tooth. The cost found in Mexico and South America is typically at least 50% less expensive.

Who Performs this Procedure?

A dentist who is certified for cosmetic dentistry may perform either of the above procedures. Make sure the dentist is certified, licensed domestically or internationally to perform these procedures. Ensure the facility where treatment is to be obtained is Joint Commission International certified to make your procedure safe and as meets your goals.

Presbyopia vs Hyperopia: Is There a Difference Between the Two?

Presbyopia is a medical term for a vision problem that occurs as you age. By the time you reach your 40s or 50s, or sometimes later, changes in the lens of the eye make it more difficult for your eyes to differentiate between distant or near objects. That's because the muscles that accommodate this adjustment of the lens changes due to natural aging processes. When the muscles around the lens weaken or thin, you'll notice a difference in your ability to focus on objects closer to you.

Hyperopia, also known as farsightedness, is also a term that defines presbyopia. Essentially, they're the same thing. An individual with hyperopia or farsightedness has no trouble seeing a distant object clearly and in focus, but closer objects may be blurry.

If you have trouble reading the writing on a pill bottle, a recipe, or even a newspaper or magazine, you may be experiencing presbyopia. In many cases, small print may appear blurred. This is caused because the eyeball has actually shortened, caused by aging lenses that grows stiffer and less flexible as you age. The process makes it increasingly difficult for the lens of the eye to properly bend light rays, and the light rays end up landing on an area in front of the retina rather than behind it, which is required for clear vision.

The best treatment: Presbyopia vs Hyperopia

One of the most common treatment approaches to changes in vision such as presbyopia or hyperopia is optical correction, meaning that you can be fitted with prescription glasses or contact lenses. Many people simply visit their local pharmacy and buy a pair of reading glasses, but these don't provide for changes in individual eye or vision capabilities.

Newer technologies have been developed in recent years. One of those is known as Kamra inlay. This procedure involves the implantation of a very small (smaller than a contact lens) device into the cornea of the eye. This inlay reduces the need of an individual to wear reading glasses.

Presbyopia or hyperopia can grow worse over time, and while not everyone experiences it as they age, by the time you reach your mid-60s, the condition usually stabilizes and your vision remains the same. It is recommended that any individual experiencing vision problems visit your ophthalmologist, optometrist, or eye doctor to determine an adequate treatment plan

How much do common treatments cost?

In the United States, treatments for presbyopia or hyperopia depend on which option is chosen. Prescription glasses and contact lenses may cost between $50 and several hundred dollars, depending on individualized circumstances and needs. The Kamra inlay procedure costs approximately $10,000, performed in less than 30 minutes. Results are immediate.

Who performs these treatments?

Optometrists or ophthalmologist who specialize in the treatment of vision disorders treat individuals diagnosed with presbyopia or hyperopia. Such individuals should be trained, licensed, as will a certified to perform a variety of eye treatments and procedures, including the latest inlay procedure. Ensure that the optometrist or ophthalmologist you choose is board certified by a local, state, or national medical organizations or groups.

How to Spot Cancerous Moles

Throughout the years, moles have been regarded as either ugly and disgraceful or extremely hot and beautiful. However, the important thing is that the moles can become cancerous and thus hazardous to your health.

Fact: Those of us who sunbathe without any sunscreen or rip their moles can get skin cancer. 90 percent of the skin cancer cases are caused by sun exposure.

A mole that poses no threat is flat and its surface is tender.

Those who have many moles on their skin should avoid prolonged sun exposure. The most threatened areas are the chest in men and the legs in women.

Be advised when choosing the sunscreen: it should protect you from the B type rays but also from the A type rays, because the last penetrate the skin deeper.

How does one see the cancerous moles?

Regular moles are symmetric and the cancerous moles are not, they are rather atypical.

  When you examine a mole, draw an imaginary line across its middle and compare the two halves. If they are not the same, ask for a dermatology consult.

  A mole that poses no threat is flat and tender. Usually, the mole is round or oval and has no more than 6 mm diameter.

  Most moles occur in children and young people. It is unusual for moles to appear after the individual has reached 40.

  Equally dangerous are the mole lesions.  If you have scratched it by accident or you have accidentally torn a mole, see a dermatologist within 2 or 3 days.

The ABCD of the melanoma and spotting the cancer moles

A – Asymmetry

B – Borders: irregular mole borders

C – Color change or different shades in the same atypical mole.

D – Diameter: any mole that exceeds 6 mm in diameter

“An imaginary ailment is worse than a disease.”  ~Yiddish Proverb
