THIS IS DEDICATED TO THE ONES I LOVE.
To all the people in my life that has helped me to get to where I am today. To the ones that helped me made this book possible, the ones that created the hell this book is about. To the ones that have been or are in my life that have held my hand through the darkest of times and wrapped the tears from my eyes when I cried. You have also helped me to stand on my own two feet. But there are three special people I want to dedicate this book to.
Without you in my life I would have never wrote this book or the ones to follow. With out these 3 people and
God, I would not be the person I am today. These three special people among the many others, have showed me
I deserve to be loved. I deserve to be a whole person. I deserve to be happy.
To Addy Aarts, you have given me encouragement beyond belief. You have showed me I do deserve to be loved and treated like a princess. You have given me the support, freedom, and faith that I can do anything.
You taught me to trust in men again. You gave me a special gift that no other ever has. I will love you

    Summary: Successful Keloid Scar Treatment

    Successful keloid treatment has still been an obstacle because the current treatments are far away from guarantying cure of the disease and preventing recurrence. This probably due to the lack of an extensive research to study and evaluate those treatments (Gauglitz et al., 2011). There are a wide range of therapies that have been used in treating keloid and hypertrophic scars. Although most of the therapeutic options that we will cover work for both scars, we have to be very careful to differentiate hypertrophic scar from keloid especially before starting the surgical treatment (Gauglitz et al., 2011). Keloid treatment can be divided in to three main categories: Noninvasive medical therapies, surgical and other invasive…

    Chronic Wound Healing

    Often times the management of chronic wounds can become challenging for clinicians. In the article by Sibbald et al (1) they emphasize that wound healing should be achieved through an interprofessional team approach where the focus is holistic, focusing not only on the patient’s wound but on the patient as a whole. Once the cause of the wound is identified, the wound can be classified into three categories: healable, maintenance and non healable (1). Referring to the wound bed preparation paradigm discussed in Sibbald et al (2) I will discuss a management approach for each wound category.…

People may cut themselves on their wrists, arms, legs, or bellies. Some people self-injure by burning their skin with the ends of cigarettes or a lighted match. People who injure themselves usually hide the cuts and marks and sometimes no one else knows. The urge to cut might be triggered by feelings the person can't express, such as anger, hurt, shame, frustration, or depression.

    Should Plastic Surgery Be Encouraged?

    What is Plastic Surgery? Longman Dictionary (1987) defines Plastic Surgery as the repairing or improving of damaged, diseased, or unsatisfactorily shaped parts of the body with pieces of skin or bone taken from other parts of the body. The word "plastic" derives from the Greek, plastikos meaning to mould or to shape and its use here is not connected with the synthetic polymer material known as plastic. There are two types of plastic surgery which are Reconstructive surgery which is made to improve irregular functions of the body, and Cosmetic surgery which is made to improve appearance. Although plastic surgery can enhance the physical beauty, give a real confidence boost and give a better perspective of life, there are negative effects in other ways.…
