Treatment Gap

The treatment gap is massive among those who need treatment for a substance use disorder and do not receive it. In 2007, 23.2 million people aged 12 or older required treatment for an illicit drug or alcohol use problem, but only 3.9 million received treatment at a specialty substance abuse facility. Reducing this gap requires a multipronged approach. Strategies include increasing access to effective treatment, achieving insurance parity, and reducing stigmas and raising awareness among both patients and health care professionals.

Follicle

A hair follicle is part of the skin that grows hair by packing old cells together. Attached to the follicle is a sebaceous gland, a tiny sebum-producing gland found everywhere except on the palms, lips and soles of the feet. The more sebaceous glands present, the thicker the density of the hair. Also attached to the follicle is a tiny bundle of muscle fiber called the arrector pili that is responsible for causing the follicle lissis to become more perpendicular to the surface of the skin, and causing the follicle to protrude slightly above the surrounding skin (piloerection). This process results in goose bumps (or goose flesh). Stem cells are located at the junction of the arrector and the follicle, and are principally responsible for the ongoing hair production during a process known as the Anagen stage. The average growth rate of healthy hair follicles on the scalp is .04 centimeters per day.

Fat Loss Surgeon

A fat loss surgeon performs bariatric surgery, bypass surgery, gastric banding and obesity surgery. Surgical weight control is an option for very overweight who cannot lose pounds with only a healthy diet and exercise. Weight loss surgery limits the amount of food a person can intake. Some operations also restrict the amount of food the stomach can digest. Many people who have fat loss surgery lose weight quickly. If patients follow all diet and exercise recommendations, most can keep the weight off. Like all surgeries, fat loss surgery has risks and complications, including infections, hernias and blood clots. Men who are at least 100 pounds overweight and women who are at least 80 pounds overweight are eligible for this surgery. If candidates somewhat less overweight, surgery still might be an option if they also have diabetes, heart disease or sleep apnea. Bariatric surgery, or weight loss surgery, is a type of procedure that doctors perform on people who are dangerously obese. This procedure achieves weight loss by surgical reduction of the size of the stomach by means of an implanted gastric banding device, through removal of a portion of the stomach or by re-sectioning and re-routing the small intestines to a small stomach pouch as gastric bypass surgery. Long-term studies show that fat loss surgery procedures result in significant long-term loss of weight, recovery from diabetes, improvement in cardiovascular risk factors, and a reduction in mortality of 23 percent to 40 percent. The U.S. National Institutes of Health recommends bariatric surgery for obese people with a body mass index (BMI) of at least 40. When a patient ingests just a small amount of food, the first response is a stretching of the wall of the stomach pouch, stimulating nerves, which tell the brain that the stomach is full. The patient feels a sensation of fullness, as if they had just eaten a large meal—but with just a thumb-full of food.
