Psychosurgery

Psychosurgery

Psychosurgery, the surgical alteration or permanent removal of brain tissue to alleviate severe psychological conditions, stands as one of the most radical and controversial treatments in the history of mental health care. Its development and application have evolved significantly, marked by dramatic shifts in scientific understanding and ethical perspectives.
Historical Development of Psychosurgery
In the 1930s, Portuguese neurologist Antonio Egas Moniz introduced a surgical procedure designed...

Plastic Deformations

Plastic Deformations

Plastic deformation represents a fundamental concept in materials science, which explains the irreversible change in the shape of a material when it experiences stress beyond its elastic capability. This phenomenon is important in structural engineering, especially in designing and analyzing cantilever beams—structures that are securely fixed at one end and bear loads at the opposite end. When these beams are subjected to loads within their elastic range, they will return to their original...

Plastic Deformations

Plastic Deformations

It is essential to understand how structural members behave under plastic deformation when the bending stress exceeds the material's yield strength. This state of deformation permanently alters the shape of the member, in contrast to the linear elastic behavior observed before yielding. The strain at any point in the member is expressed in terms of maximum strain. Notably, the neutral axis, which coincides with the centroid during elastic bending, shifts away from the centroid under plastic...

Plastic Deformations of Members with a Single Plane of Symmetry

Plastic Deformations of Members with a Single Plane of Symmetry

When a structural member undergoes plastic deformation due to bending, it is crucial to understand the position of the neutral axis and the stress distribution. This member, characterized by a single plane of symmetry, exhibits a uniform stress distribution, with negative stress above the neutral axis and positive stress below. Notably, the neutral axis does not align with the centroid of the cross-section. This misalignment is typical in cases where the cross-section is not rectangular or...

Plastic Behavior

Plastic Behavior

A material's elastic behavior is characterized by the disappearance of stress once the load is removed, allowing the material to return to its original state. However, when stress surpasses the yield point, yielding commences, marking the onset of plastic deformation or permanent set. This change from elastic to plastic behavior is influenced by the peak stress value and the duration before the load is removed. An intriguing observation occurs when a specimen is loaded, unloaded, and reloaded.

Plasticity

Plasticity

Plasticity is the property where an object loses its elasticity and undergoes irreversible deformation, even after the deformation forces are eliminated. If a material deforms irreversibly without increasing stress or load, then this is called ideal plasticity. For example, when a force is applied to an aluminum rod, it changes its shape, but it does not return to its original shape once the force is removed. Plastic deformation or ductility is thus a permanent deformation or change in the...

Summary

Most plastic surgeons have undergone minimally invasive cosmetic procedures, with women having more than men. About a third have had cosmetic surgery, most commonly liposuction, with high satisfaction rates.

Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Cosmetic Procedures
Surgical Outcomes

Background:

Plastic surgeons' personal attitudes towards cosmetic surgery are largely unknown.
Understanding these attitudes is crucial for the field.

Purpose of the Study:

To survey American Society of Plastic Surgeons members on their cosmetic procedure experiences.
To assess interest in minimally invasive vs. surgical cosmetic procedures.
To determine facility and surgeon selection criteria and satisfaction levels.

Main Methods:

A survey was sent to 2635 American Society of Plastic Surgeons members.
The survey assessed interest in cosmetic procedures, facility/surgeon choice, and satisfaction.
276 responses were analyzed.

Main Results:

62% of respondents had minimally invasive procedures; 33% had cosmetic surgery.
Botulinum toxin A and liposuction were the most common procedures.
90% reported high satisfaction; 88.2% chose a plastic surgeon.

Conclusions:

This survey offers insight into the cosmetic procedure attitudes of plastic surgeons.
It is the first study of its kind within this professional society.
