Neuro Medicine, also known as Neurology, is a branch of medicine dealing with disorders of the nervous system. It encompasses the study, diagnosis, treatment, and management of conditions affecting the central and peripheral nervous systems, including their coverings, blood vessels, and all effector tissue, such as muscle. Neurological practice relies heavily on the field of neuroscience, the scientific study of the nervous system. A neurologist, a doctor specialized in neurology, treats disorders that affect brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles. These conditions include epilepsy, stroke, multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and headaches, among others. Neuro Medicine involves various diagnostic tests like MRI and CT scans, electroencephalography (EEG), and lumbar punctures to accurately diagnose neurological conditions and devise appropriate treatment plans, which may include medications, rehabilitation, or referral to neurosurgery.

Neuro Medicine F&Q's
Cosmetic plastic surgery is performed to enhance or improve a person’s appearance towards what they perceive as more desirable. Reconstructive plastic surgery aims to restore the function and normal appearance of body parts that are affected by congenital defects, trauma, infections, tumors, or diseases.
Not everyone is a suitable candidate for plastic surgery. Candidates must be in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and, for certain procedures, be at a stable weight. A thorough evaluation by a plastic surgeon is necessary to determine an individual’s suitability for a specific procedure.
Common procedures include breast augmentation, liposuction, rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), eyelid surgery, facelifts, and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). Reconstructive surgeries often include breast reconstruction, cleft lip and palate surgery, and skin grafting for burn survivors.
Preparation may involve getting lab tests, taking certain medications or adjusting current medications, stopping smoking well in advance of surgery, and avoiding aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal supplements that can increase bleeding.
The recovery process varies widely depending on the procedure and individual patient factors. It can range from a few days for minor procedures to several weeks or months for more complex surgeries. Following the surgeon’s post-operative instructions, including care of the surgical site, medications to take, and when to follow up, is crucial.
While many plastic surgery procedures produce long-lasting results, no surgery can stop the aging process. Some procedures may require revisions over time, and the longevity of results can also be influenced by factors such as lifestyle, genetics, and overall health. Cosmetic enhancements may also need maintenance procedures to preserve the desired outcome.
