[howlrs]

first aid treatment & hideout equipment.

if you're severely injured and too far from emergency care to survive (and/or you don't trust anyone, ever), persephone is an excellent person to go to for first aid. being a solo agent for her organization means she has to take care of herself if she's stranded, broken and bleeding, and over the many years she has worked for the unseen, she knows her way around civilian or combat treatment. re: trust or lack thereof, if she wanted to kill you, she'd just let you bleed out. idiot.

unnecessarily detailed exploration under the cut. (injury description/medical tw)

TRAVEL

anywhere you are in the city, if there are other people nearby, there are most likely at least one or two unseen agents among them. persephone's status as second-in-command essentially gives them the authority to dispatch any agent and make them drive you somewhere (like, to a hospital? lol). even the civilian agents are trained to do this if needed; most wouldn't feel terrible about saving a life, anyway.

assuming that isn't a possibility for whatever reason (stranded, alone, etc), they can still get to you fairly quickly by way of motorcycle and/or travel on foot by rooftop. seph is fucking Fast. they are also furious. wild how that works

also worth noting: having stupid money from the unseen allowed her to buy out abandoned apartment buildings + units all over the city that she's repurposed into little rathole hideouts. every one of them is stocked with military-grade first aid supplies, though admittedly they contain little else. as soon as seph takes someone to a hideout, it's considered compromise and she abandons it, but there are so many of them that she is willing to do this occasionally.

TREATMENT (injury/medical tw)

disclaimer: i'm not a doctor or EMS technician, i'm talking out of my ass with surface-level research so take this all with a grain of salt.

catastrophic bleeding. (60% of preventable combat deaths) blood / wound tw

uncontrolled hemorrhage is the #1 cause of death when a civilian adult is injured. when an ally (or someone she owes a favor) calls on her for help, the first thing persephone does is stop the bleeding with celox-a clotting granules. the hand parts of their prosthetics are equipped with sanitizing cycles so they can become sterile in an emergency; this cuts the time it would take to find and put on gloves.

celox is essentially a type of granule that looks like very coarse sand, loaded into a long applicator that seph will insert as deeply into the wound as possible. the granules absorb surrounding liquid extremely fast, which allows them to quickly clot hemorrhaging blood at the source. sometimes an extremely deep wound will take multiple applicators to fill above skin-level. once they've done so, they'll apply consistent pressure for five minutes until the hemorrhaging stops, then flush the granules out of the wound with clean water from one of several bottles she keeps on hand specifically for aid, not for drinking.

stopping major bleeding is the most time-sensitive part of the process. after that, seph can get to work on inspecting the damage and thoroughly sealing & dressing the injury. they have IV bags they can rig up for lost fluids, skin-grafts for burns, and pretty much every other supply/method for field medicine that doesn't require hospital equipment to administer.

worth noting, though: their expertise stops very short of surgery. if it can't be dug out with hand tools or healed with stitches/bandages/time, they're taking you to the hospital or their personal medic. lol

collapsed lung. (33% of preventable combat deaths) needles tw

i'm not going into as much detail on this one because it squicks me out more, but the gist is that a collapsed lung happens when there's a wound in the chest area and air is sucked into the space between the lungs and chest (pleural cavity). treatment essentially requires inserting a bigass needle (14-16 gauge) to release trapped air, letting the lung reinflate, then placing a chest seal over all entry and exit wounds to keep it from happening again.

airway obstruction. (6% of preventable combat deaths)

big ol tube let airway breathe in out. there's not much more to this one.

travel equipment list

several celox-a quick-clot applicators (one layer of the bag is dedicated to these alone)

1 pre-lubricated nasopharyngeal airway

1 needle decompression kit

4 chest seals

2 emergency trauma dressings

2 combat application tourniquets

2 gauze rolls

small bandages of several shapes and sizes

sealed plastic water bottles

tool sanitizer

aspirin

mini liquor bottles

protein bars

glucose tablets

epinephrine shots

portable suture gun

bone splint

body warmers

these are all fitted into a compact square canvas satchel, compressed flat and strapped to the outside of persephone's thigh or hip depending on gearset. you'd be surprised how much of this shit can fit inside of a fairly compact bag.

hideout equipment list

all of the above, plus:

IV drip kits + 1 collapsible rig

fold-out cot if there isn't a shitty couch available

suture kit

tools for removing bullets and debris

more water (jugs and bottles)

hideout equipment list (non-emergency)

one (1) jar of raspberry jam (necessary)

10-20 liquor bottles, mostly vodka and whiskey in several price points

japan hideouts only — floor futon

shitty couch

bad shelves

blankets

portable rolled-canvas armory nailed to the wall, including pistols, ammunition, knives, polish/cleaning kit, sniper setup gear that's too heavy to lug around everywhere

fridge: cold brew concentrate, more jam, 12-pack of protein/vitamin shakes

freezer: cigarettes, batteries, vodka, ice packs

ambien (not for her)

dayquil

non-otc dosages of ibuprofen

rat traps (humane/catch-and-release. she's a murderer not a barbarian)

Caleb Mwangi was beaten so severely at his school in Kenya after he took extra food at breakfast that he was put into an induced coma and spent 11 days in an intensive care unit.

"When I got there, he couldn't leave his bed. He couldn't speak," his father Fred Mwangi told the BBC.

This happened nearly two years ago when Caleb was 13 years old. Sitting now between his mother and father on the sofa in their home in Mombasa, a city on Kenya's coast, he says he tends to zone out from time to time.

The teenager is filled with rage that sometimes makes him punch the wall. The effects, he says, of the trauma caused by the near-death experience.

Mr Mwangi gets his son to stand and pull up his white vest to reveal a thick, angry scar covering almost the width and length of his back.

He says the wounds were so deep the surgeon had to remove large pieces of skin from his thighs to use as skin grafts.

"This is him in hospital," says his mother Agnes Mutiri, showing pictures of Caleb on her phone, too graphic to publish. Lying face down on the bed, lacerations cover his legs, back and arms, and even his face. There were almost a hundred in total.

"His whole body was like this."

Corporal punishment in schools has a long history in Kenya, dating back to the era when missionaries and colonisers relied on it to assert their authority.

In 2001, the Kenyan government banned the practice in schools, but it has been harder to change people's attitudes.

Figures from the latest Violence Against Children report, a national household survey in 2019, revealed that more than half of 18 to 24-year-olds in Kenya agreed it was necessary for teachers to use corporal punishment.

BBC Africa Eye has uncovered a worrying increase in the number of severe cases being reported.

Caleb says in his case it was Nancy Gachewa, the director of Gremon Education Centre - a school in the town of Bamburi near Mombasa - who first beat him and then ordered other students to continue the punishment. Ms Gachewa denies this, and says she was not at the school when it happened.

"I was so hungry, I took five chapatis and ate them with tea," Caleb says.

Ms Gachewa and an older student, Idd Salim, were arrested and charged with assault and causing grievous bodily harm. Salim was sentenced to four years in prison last year and, in a plea bargain, he has testified against Ms Gachewa in court. The case against her continues.

While Caleb's case is horrific, it is far from unique. An employee at the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), an independent organisation that manages all aspects of the teaching profession in Kenya, spoke to BBC Africa Eye on condition of anonymity.

They said that in the last three years, reports of the most severe school beatings have more than quadrupled from seven to 29. Most incidents are never reported.

"It is becoming a crisis and… we feel it is going out of hand now. Cases of children being injured and maimed. Some of these cases have resulted into very severe consequences, even death," they said.

The source said that cases of school beatings reported to the TSC at county level often never go any further, adding that incidents were "killed" and "never see the light of day".

"So many times, by the time the case reaches us, so much evidence has been corrupted. Sometimes we cannot even get a hold of the witnesses."

BBC Africa Eye contacted the TSC to respond to these allegations, but it did not reply.

The thought that a student could die at the hands of education professionals who are supposed to protect them is unimaginable for most people, but in the last five years, more than 20 deaths linked to school beatings have been reported in the media.

Fifteen-year-old Ebbie Noelle Samuels is believed to be one of them.

Ebbie was a boarder at Gatanga CCM Secondary school in Murang'a county, around 60km (37 miles) north-east of the capital, Nairobi.

On 9 March 2019 her mother, Martha Wanjiro Samuels, was called by the school to say her daughter was unwell in hospital.

When she arrived there, Ebbie was already dead.

The school said that she had died in her sleep, but witnesses say she was beaten by the deputy principal because of the way she wore her hair.

"The autopsy report revealed that she had severe head injury, blunt force trauma. So, somebody hit her to cause that kind of an injury to her, leading to her death," said Mrs Samuels.

She campaigned for four years to have her daughter's death investigated.

Last January, Elizabeth Wairimu Gatimu, the former deputy principal of Ebbie's school, was arrested for murder. She denies the charges against her.

"I will do everything that I have to do as long as I'm alive to ensure justice is served for my child," said Mrs Samuels, who is still waiting to hear the outcome of the case.

"I told myself: 'I will not be silenced. I will not keep quiet. I will not give up fighting.' Maybe the day I give up is the day that I sleep like my daughter. But as long as I breathe, I will not give up."

BBC Africa Eye requested an interview with the Kenyan Ministry of Education, but nobody was willing to speak.

One organisation which is pushing for change is Beacon Teachers Africa. Launched in Kenya four years ago by the non-governmental group Plan International, together with the TSC, its aim is to give teachers the opportunity to protect children in schools and their communities.

It now has a network of 50,000 teachers across 47 countries in Africa.

Robert Omwa is one of 3,000 Beacon teachers in Kenya. As well as educating children about their rights, he also holds workshops to train teachers how to deliver discipline without using corporal punishment.

"Initially I was sceptical about it. I thought this is Western ideology, an African child has to be beaten. But when I tried it, I felt relieved as a teacher. I felt lighter. I felt the children gravitating more towards me," he said.

Back in Mombasa, Caleb and his family are waiting to hear the fate of his school director. Ms Gachewa has pleaded not guilty.

The 15-year-old still finds it hard to process what happened to him.

"For me to get justice, I want this woman to be jailed."

Published: Jun 12, 2024

In the United States, we don’t often hear about the young male refugees from genderism who have an artificial “neo-vagina” in their pubic area instead of a penis.

Newspaper articles regularly profile young women such as Chloe Cole, Prisha Mosley, and Camille Kiefel who lost their breasts to medical malpractice and have since brought suit, but you don’t often hear about the castrated men. Photos of Michelle Alleva’s scarred chest regularly show up on my X timeline, but for obvious reasons, regretful men don’t usually share pictures of their intimate body parts post-surgery.

On June 4, 2024, Prisha announced via X that she’d given birth to a son. While the world empathizes with her grief that she’ll never be able to enjoy breastfeeding her baby, we share her relief that “gender-affirming care” didn’t destroy her fertility. Prisha’s story mingles feelings of regret and triumph, of loss and joy—an ultimately uplifting tale of healthy motherhood and a new life.

In short, Prisha may have taken a detour into genderism and suffered a poignant loss, but now she’s back on track and able to enjoy a loving relationship with her baby.

For the men in my practice who faced up, too late, to being gay, there’s no going back. Going forward (what’s deceptively referred to as “transition”) turned out to be an illusion, but how do they “go back”—that is, take up the life of a gay man when they no longer have a penis?

Warning: the following descriptions might make some readers deeply uncomfortable. I advise them to keep reading and I promise to keep disturbing details to a minimum.

In the surgical procedure known as a “penile inversion vaginoplasty” (PIV), a man’s penis is sliced open and used (sometimes along with scrotal tissue) to line an artificial cavity created in the pubic area. Typically referred to as a neo-vagina, it’s a surgically-created wound which must be regularly dilated to prevent the body from trying to heal it—that is, to close it up because the body senses that it doesn’t belong there. In addition to penile skin grafts, intestinal tissue may sometimes be used to line the neo-vagina. During the operation, surgeons relocate the prostate away from its normal position below the bladder and in front of the rectum.

The operation is irreversible, obviously, just as a double mastectomy can’t be undone. Prisha can’t recover her healthy breasts, and my male clients will never again have a functioning penis.

Administration of cross-sex hormones is part of the usual protocol for men undergoing PIV, both pre- and post-op; among the side-effects are brain fog, and sometimes a complete loss of or profound diminishment in sexual desire. In some cases, the surgically created neo-vagina is too small for penetrative sex; for others, such sex is painful or unsatisfying.

In short, for many gay men, so-called “gender affirming care” has deprived them of a satisfying sex life. I acknowledge that not all men with a neo-vagina report the same dissatisfaction, but I haven’t seen them in my practice.

To combat the brain fog associated with estrogen, some male clients try adding a small dose of testosterone to their hormone regime. The effects can be troubling. One client felt simultaneously aroused and perturbed: while the nerves from his former penis had been preserved during surgery, they were no longer “where they were supposed to be,” as he put it. Another suffered from “phantom penis syndrome,” a condition akin to phantom limb syndrome where the person experiences hallucinatory sensations of a lost body part. A third felt intense desire to take part in receptive anal intercourse, only to find it painful (due to a post-op fistula) and unstimulating because his prostate had been relocated away from the rectal area. For these men, achieving orgasm is quite difficult and often leads to painful after-sensations in the genital area.

The idea of anal intercourse between two men makes some readers uncomfortable, and I believe that’s an additional reason why we hear so little about the male victims of genderism. Members of the public with conservative religious views who regard homosexuality as a sin will naturally find it hard to empathize. Straight females such as Laura Becker who lost their breasts to medical malpractice earn public sympathy and acclaim, but the plight of post-operative gay men is largely met with silence.

In the United Kingdom, gay man Ritchie Herron has spoken with feeling about his loss of sexual function post PIV. In a poignant X thread from 2022, he says:

I have no sensation in my crotch region at all. No one told me that the base of your penis is left, it can’t be removed – meaning you’re left with a literal stump inside that twitches. When you take Testosterone and your libido returns, you wake up with morning wood, without the tree. And if you do take testosterone after being post op, you run the risk of internal hair in the neo-vagina. Imagine dealing with internal hair growth after everything? What a choice … be healthy on Testosterone and a freak, or remain a sexless eunuch. And thats something that will never come back …

For the full horror of what it means to be caught in this nightmarish limbo, read the complete and powerful thread.

Realizing post-surgery that you’re actually a gay man means you’re caught in an impossible space. You learned, too late, that so-called “transition” is a lie, but the full-spectrum life of a gay man is foreclosed to you. You’re unlikely to have a satisfying relationship with another gay man because, to be frank, gay men are attracted to male bodies that have penises, full stop, despite what the genderists will tell you. If you do try to date, your options have narrowed. As one of my clients puts it, your dating pool usually shrinks down to “chasers”—that is, men who will seek out and fetishize you, often reducing you to your anatomy rather than seeing you as whole person. 

Psychotherapy with these men means sitting with them in a complex and deeply painful place, what I’ve called an impossible space, sharing the grief of immense loss without succumbing to despair. As with anyone who has ever experienced a profound and irremediable loss, my clients must nonetheless pursue a meaningful existence and find creative ways to feel good about themselves. It’s my job is to help them as best I can. I often find that sitting with them in their pain without minimizing it is what helps the most.

In a way, Prisha’s story is a classic tale of triumph over adversity, of new life beyond a death cult. This is the kind of story the public enjoys, and it’s one of the main reasons she and other young women in her position receive so much attention. The gay men in my practice have a far less satisfying and more complex story to tell, and one I fear the public has limited interest in hearing.

Hair Transplant Surgery In Delhi

Hair Transplant Surgery In Delhi

A hair transplant is a surgery to transplant hair to a bald or thinning area, and yes, it is a cosmetic surgery. A hair transplant is a significant decision. You must do all you can to learn more so that you will be prepared for the procedure.

A hair transplant is technically considered a plastic surgery technique. It counts as surgery, even though it is a minimally invasive technique and typically carried out as an outpatient treatment without general anesthesia.

However, we frequently associate “going under the knife” with surgery. Scalpels, hospitals, and scars come to mind. Modern hair transplantation techniques are very different from that stereotype. You will be closer to the truth if you picture yourself spending a lot of time in an extremely luxurious hair salon with recliners and a TV in front of you.

What are the causes of hair loss?

An average person loses 50–100 hairs per day, but this frequently goes unnoticed as new hair is growing in at the same time. When the hair that has fallen out is not replaced by new hair, hair loss results.

Hair loss is usually associated with one or more of the following reasons:

1. Hormonal changes and medical conditions: A variety of conditions like pregnancy, childbirth, thyroid problems, and menopause can cause permanent or temporary hair loss, due to hormonal changes.

2. Family history (heredity): This is the most common cause of hair loss that happens with aging.

3. Radiation therapy to the head: After the radiation therapy, the hair might not grow back the same as it did earlier.

4. A very stressful event: Many people notice general hair thinning several months following a traumatic event, whether it be physical or emotional, but this is a temporary hair loss.

5. Medications and supplements: Certain drugs, like those used for cancer, depression, arthritis, heart problems, gout, and high blood pressure, have hair loss as a side effect.

6. Hairstyles and treatments: Excessive styling and tight-pulling hairstyles can result in traction alopecia, a type of hair loss.

In general, baldness will become more severe the earlier it starts.

Who are eligible for a hair transplant?

People who are typically eligible for this treatment are:

1. with hereditary permanent baldness

2. with other types of hair loss, such as the kind that results in bald patches

What a hair transplant does

Men and women who have bald spots on their heads, thinning hair, or hair loss can have a hair transplant. It makes use of your natural hair by removing it from a “donor site” and implanting it on the bald spots on your head or places where the hair is receding or becoming thinner.

Reversing hair loss with hair transplants is a successful method that gives both men and women:

1. A younger look

2. Healthier appearance

3. Increases their self-confidence

How does hair transplant works

A local anesthesia and sedative are usually used during a hair transplant, so you’ll be awake during the procedure but won’t experience any pain.

There are two types of hair transplant procedures are:

1. Follicular unit transplantation (FUT, or strip method): It involves removing a thin strip of skin covered in hair from the back of your head, cutting it into pieces, and inserting the hair grafts into tiny wounds made in the scalp. Stitches are used to seal the area from where the hairs are collected. Only the area from which the skin is removed must be shaved, not the entire head.

2. Follicular unit extraction (FUE): This procedure involves shaving the back of the head and extracting each hair graft one at a time. The grafts are inserted into minute wounds made in the scalp, leaving numerous little scars that are barely detectable.

Although most hair transplants take a day, you shouldn’t have to stay overnight. You might need to schedule two or more sessions a few months apart if a large area needs to be treated.

Your surgeon will explain how to take care of your graft. You should be given a spray to aid in healing and hair growth.

Hair transplantation is more of an art than a surgery

Your main concern when deciding to have a hair transplant is probably the outcome. Make sure you choose a reliable hair transplant provider by doing your homework. Finding a doctor with experience and an art to his work is very crucial for reshaping your hairline. With little experience, one can become proficient in the technical aspects of hair transplantation, but it’s not at all simple to decide where and at what angle to insert each graft for a generally pleasant outcome. It is a skill that requires years of practice to master.

An experienced hair transplant provider is worth enough.

You should choose a hair transplant provider who has carried out numerous hair transplants before yours, just as you might prefer a hairdresser who has cut the hair of many others. And while getting a terrible haircut is not the end of the world, you don’t want the same thing to happen with your hair transplant. If you’re unhappy with your initial hair transplant, you can have a second one if that’s possible.

Scheduling a consultation is the best method to see if hair transplantation is right for you and whether you feel comfortable with a certain specialist.

What To Expect From Hair Transplant Surgery? Treatment, Costs, and Results

Hair transplants are now in significant global demand for treating baldness and hair loss problems. For anyone planning to undergo this procedure, getting to know the process involved, the costs, and the expected outcome is essential. This guide will be helpful for those who are searching for a hair transplant in India or a hair transplant clinic in Delhi.

Hair Transplant Surgery: Getting to know better

Hair transplant surgery is a liposuction method where small portions of the hair follicles are relocated from one section of the head to another where baldness appears prevalent. Here’s a closer look:

Common Hair Transplant Techniques

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

Hair roots are acquired one by one in a process known as follicular unit extraction. Hair roots are removed individually and then implanted. The symptoms are mild, and the procedure is relatively painless as it also causes little scarring.

Advanced Hair Transplant (AHT)

AHT combines advanced extraction and implantation techniques with minimal scarring and faster recovery, often incorporating PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for enhanced results.

Direct Hair Implantation (DHI)

DHI uses a Choi Implanter Pen to place follicles directly into the scalp, ensuring precise angling, depth, and direction for natural-looking results

What is the Procedure of the Surgery?

The procedure typically involves the following steps:

Consultation:

The pube’s surgeon involves an evaluation of your scalp health and other health-related aspects.

A program is designed for you depending on the pattern and type of hair loss and the goal to be achieved.

Preparation:

The thirty-five-year-old patient signed a written informed consent, and the donor area is shaved, and the skin is anesthetized locally.

They target hair follicles for removal with a lot of detail.

Transplantation:

The recipient area is readied, and the follicles are transplanted.

The whole exercise can take about 4 to 8 hours, depending on the level of extremity or number of angles involved.

Post-Surgery Care:

A bandage is put on the wound, and the doctor explains how the wound should be handled.

It also ensures proper healing and results/outcomes in case of follow-up appointments.

Advantages of Hair Transplant Surgery

Permanent Solution: When transplanted, hair grows like normal hair and lasts for the entire lifespan of the human being.

Boost in Confidence: Helps patients regain a youthful look and feel; gives them confidence again.

Low Maintenance: Generally, no specific care needs to be taken for the hair that has been transplanted.

Costs of Hair Transplant Surgery in India

The cost of hair transplant surgery varies depending on several factors, including:

Technique Used: Some methods, like FUE, are more affordable than other techniques.

Number of Grafts: The more grafts required, the higher the cost.

Clinic Location: Premium clinics in metropolitan cities may charge more.

In India, the cost typically ranges between ₹30,000 to ₹1,50,000. You can expect transparent pricing and world-class care at Delhi's best hair transplant clinic.

Enhanced treatment protocols for burn injuries lead to increased survival rates

Advancements in medical care have significantly increased the survival rates of individuals with burn injuries, even for those with extensive burns covering up to 70% of their bodies. Doctors emphasize that a combination of factors contributes to these improved survival rates, including advancements in intensive care unit (ICU) facilities, skin graft techniques, and cosmetic procedures. Specialized treatments such as allografts, which involve using skin from donors to temporarily cover burnt areas, play a crucial role in fast wound healing, improving outcomes for patients in the acute phase of burn injuries. Dr. P Nellaiappar, from the burns and plastic surgery department at Government Kilpauk Medical College Hospital in Chennai, highlights the significance of such procedures.

Innovative Healing: Artificial Human Skin Revolutionizes Major Burn Recovery in Spain

The Virgen del Rocío Hospital in Seville has become the first in Spain to utilize artificial human skin for advanced wound recovery in severe burn cases. This pioneering treatment, approved by the Spanish Medicines Agency in June, represents a significant breakthrough in burn care, offering faster and more effective healing for patients with extensive injuries. 

Fran Fernández, a patient who suffered burns over 75% of his body following an explosion in Algeciras in 2017, is a testament to the success of this innovative therapy. Initially given just 48 hours to live, Fernández has since made a remarkable recovery thanks to more than a dozen surgeries and multiple grafts using both his own skin and the newly developed artificial skin. 

The therapy, officially termed “human skin obtained by tissue engineering,” is now being applied at the Major Burn Unit of Virgen del Rocío Hospital. According to Dr. David Rodríguez, a surgeon at the hospital, the use of artificial skin significantly reduces the risk of infections in burn patients, as it allows for quicker and more efficient wound coverage.

✿ After the events over at the village of the wild ones, Raymona has extended the offer for Rayman to move in with her so they could both take care of Tily without having to drop her off at each other's house. He has his own room whenever he needs some time to himself, but Raymona's not opposed to sharing her room with him as long as he doesn't mind sharing it with a number of lums as well.

✿ She knows Rayman's not the best cook, so she's been teaching him really easy recipes that don't require cooking. She also has times where she needs to leave home for diplomacy duties, so Rayman may have to stay behind to watch over Tily. She wanted to make sure Rayman could provide a healthy balanced meal for her and himself for those days when she's away.

Guide to FUE Hair Transplant: Benefits, Process & Recovery

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplant has emerged as a popular and effective solution for hair loss. This minimally invasive procedure involves extracting individual hair follicles from a donor area (typically the back of the head) and transplanting them to the balding or thinning areas. If you're considering FUE hair transplant, it's crucial to understand the procedure thoroughly. This blog post will delve into five essential things you need to know before making a decision: 1. The FUE Process: A Step-by-Step Breakdown FUE hair transplant is a meticulous procedure that involves several steps: a) Consultation and Planning

 The process begins with a detailed consultation with a qualified hair transplant surgeon. They will assess your hair loss pattern, donor area suitability, and desired results. A personalized treatment plan will be developed, including the number of grafts needed and the areas to be treated. b) Donor Area Preparation

The donor area, usually the back or sides of the head, is shaved and cleaned. Local anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort during the procedure.

c) Follicular Unit Extraction

 Using a specialized punch tool, individual hair follicles (follicular units) are carefully extracted from the donor area. Each unit typically contains 1-4 hairs. Graft Preparation and Storage The extracted grafts are then meticulously cleaned and prepared for transplantation. They are stored in a nutrient-rich solution to maintain their viability. Recipient Area Preparation: The recipient area, where hair loss is present, is also prepared with local anesthesia. Tiny incisions are made to create recipient sites for the grafts. Graft Implantation: The prepared grafts are carefully placed into the recipient sites, ensuring proper angle and direction for natural-looking results. Post-Procedure Care: After the procedure, the recipient area is covered with a bandage. The surgeon will provide detailed instructions for post-operative care, including medication, wound cleaning, and follow-up appointments. 2. Advantages of FUE Hair Transplant FUE hair transplant offers several advantages over traditional strip harvesting techniques: Minimally Invasive: FUE is a minimally invasive procedure with minimal scarring. The small punch marks in the donor area heal quickly, leaving behind tiny, barely noticeable scars.

Faster Recovery: Compared to strip harvesting, FUE involves a shorter recovery period. Most patients can return to their daily activities within a few days.

Natural-Looking Results:FUE allows for precise graft placement, resulting in natural-looking hair growth. The transplanted hair grows in a similar pattern to the surrounding hair.

No Linear Scar: Unlike strip harvesting, which leaves a linear scar in the donor area, FUE avoids this issue. The small punch marks are dispersed throughout the donor area, making them less noticeable. Versatile Treatment: FUE is suitable for treating various hair loss patterns, including male pattern baldness, female pattern hair loss, and alopecia areata. 3. Potential Risks and Side Effects While FUE is generally considered safe, it's important to be aware of potential risks and side effects: Infection: As with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of infection. However, this risk is minimized with proper hygiene and post-operative care. Bleeding: Some bleeding is expected after the procedure, but excessive bleeding may require medical attention. Scarring: While FUE minimizes scarring, some scarring may occur, especially in individuals with sensitive skin. Grafts Not Taking: Not all transplanted grafts may survive. The survival rate typically ranges from 80-90%, but factors like donor area quality and patient health can influence the outcome. Numbness: Temporary numbness in the donor area is common but usually resolves within a few weeks. 4. Choosing the Right Clinic and Surgeon Choosing the right Plastic surgery clinic in Bangaloreand plastic surgeon is crucial for a successful FUE hair transplant. Here are some factors to consider: Experience and Expertise: Look for a clinic with a team of experienced and qualified hair transplant surgeons. Check their credentials, certifications, and track record of successful procedures. Technology and Equipment: Advanced technology and equipment are essential for achieving optimal results. Inquire about the clinic's facilities and the types of instruments used. Patient Testimonials: Read patient testimonials and reviews to get an idea of the clinic's reputation and patient satisfaction. Consultation Process: A thorough consultation is essential. The surgeon should listen to your concerns, answer your questions, and provide realistic expectations. Cost and Payment Options: Discuss the cost of the procedure and available payment options. Be wary of clinics offering unusually low prices, as this may indicate compromised quality.

5. Post-Procedure Care and Recovery Proper post-operative care is crucial for optimal healing and hair growth. Follow your surgeon's instructions carefully: Medication: Take prescribed medications as directed to manage pain, swelling, and infection. Wound Care: Clean the recipient area gently with saline solution as instructed. Avoid touching or scratching the area.

Avoid Activities: Avoid strenuous activities, smoking, and alcohol consumption for a few weeks after the procedure.

Sun Protection: Protect the recipient area from direct sunlight with a hat or sunscreen. Follow-up Appointments: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor healing and hair growth. FUE hair transplant can be an effective solution for hair loss, offering natural-looking results and minimal scarring. However, it's important to understand the procedure, potential risks, and post-operative care requirements before making a decision. Choosing a reputable clinic and experienced surgeon is crucial for achieving optimal outcomes. By following the guidelines outlined in this blog post, you can make an informed decision and embark on your journey towards restoring your hair confidence.

Interested to learn more about FUE Hair Transplant? Let us understand the history of this procedure.

From Punch to Precision: A Journey Through the History of FUE Hair Transplant Hair loss, a universal human experience, has spurred innovation for centuries. While ancient remedies ranged from concoctions to scalp massages, the quest for a permanent solution led to the development of hair transplantation. The evolution of this procedure, particularly the rise of the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique, is a fascinating tale of medical ingenuity and a testament to the human desire for a full head of hair. The Early Days of Transplantation: The earliest documented hair transplant attempts date back to the early 20th century. Dr. Okuda, a Japanese dermatologist, experimented with transplanting hair grafts in 1939. However, these early techniques were rudimentary and often resulted in poor outcomes. The grafts were large, leaving noticeable scarring, and the survival rate was low. The Birth of Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): The 1950s saw the emergence of a more refined technique, known as Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT). Developed by Dr. Norman Orentreich, this method involved removing a strip of skin from the donor area, typically the back of the head. This strip was then dissected under a microscope to separate individual follicular units, which were then transplanted to the recipient area. While FUT significantly improved results compared to earlier methods, it still left a linear scar on the donor area. The Dawn of FUE: A Minimally Invasive Revolution: The late 1990s and early 2000s witnessed a revolutionary shift in hair transplant technology with the introduction of FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction). This minimally invasive technique, pioneered by Dr. William Rassman, offered a scarless solution. Instead of removing a strip of skin, FUE involves extracting individual follicular units directly from the donor area using a specialized punch tool. The Advantages of FUE: Scarless: FUE leaves behind tiny, almost invisible dots, eliminating the noticeable linear scar associated with FUT. Minimal Downtime: FUE procedures typically involve less downtime and discomfort compared to FUT. Versatile: FUE can be used to address various hair loss patterns and is suitable for both men and women. Natural Results: The individual follicular units extracted and transplanted in FUE result in a natural-looking hair growth pattern. The Evolution of FUE Techniques: The FUE technique has continued to evolve over the years, with advancements in tools and techniques. Some key developments include: Automated FUE: Automated tools have been introduced to assist with the extraction process, increasing efficiency and minimizing human error. Micro-FUE: This refinement involves using smaller punch sizes for extraction, further reducing scarring and improving aesthetic outcomes. Sapphire FUE: Sapphire blades are used in this technique, resulting in smaller incisions and faster healing. FUE Hair Transplant Cost: The cost of an FUE hair transplant can vary depending on factors such as the number of grafts required, the surgeon's experience, and the location of the clinic. However, it is generally considered a significant investment, with prices ranging from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. The journey of FUE hair transplant from its humble beginnings to its current state of sophistication is a testament to the relentless pursuit of a natural, permanent solution to hair loss. As technology continues to advance, FUE is poised to become even more refined and accessible, offering hope and a renewed sense of confidence to individuals seeking a full head of hair. With its minimally invasive nature, natural results, and minimal downtime, FUE has become a game-changer in the world of hair restoration, empowering individuals to reclaim their lost hair and embrace a brighter future.

A Guide to Hair Transplant Procedures in Milwaukee

The goal of a hair transplant is to restore a more natural and fuller head of hair. A hair transplant is a surgical procedure used to address hair loss and balding. It involves the removal of hair follicles from one part of the body, typically the back or sides of the scalp (the donor area), and their transplantation to areas with thinning or no hair (the recipient area).

The procedure for a hair transplant in Milwaukee is similar to the process followed in most locations and typically involves the following steps:

Consultation: The process begins with a consultation with a qualified hair transplant surgeon. During this consultation:

The surgeon assesses your hair loss and examines the donor area (typically the back or sides of the scalp) to evaluate the availability of healthy hair follicles for transplantation.

You discuss your goals and expectations for the procedure.

The surgeon recommends the most suitable hair transplant method (Follicular Unit Transplant - FUT or Follicular Unit Extraction - FUE) based on your specific needs.

Designing the Hairline: The surgeon works with you to design a natural-looking hairline that complements your facial features and desired aesthetic outcome.

Anesthesia: On the day of the procedure, local anesthesia is administered to numb both the donor area and the recipient area (where hair will be transplanted). This ensures that you are comfortable and pain-free during the surgery.

Donor Area Harvesting:

Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT): In this method, a strip of skin containing healthy hair follicles is surgically removed from the donor area. The wound is then sutured or stapled closed.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): In FUE, individual hair follicles are directly extracted from the donor area using a specialized tool, often resembling a small punch or needle. This method does not leave a linear scar but results in small, circular scars that are less noticeable.

Graft Preparation: The harvested hair follicles are carefully dissected and prepared for transplantation. Grafts are sorted based on the number of hairs they contain.

Recipient Site Creation: Tiny incisions are made in the recipient area where the grafts will be transplanted. These incisions are made following the natural hair growth pattern to ensure a natural appearance.

Graft Transplantation: The prepared grafts are placed into the recipient sites with precision. The surgeon pays close attention to the angle, direction, and density of the transplanted hair to achieve a natural look.

Post-Operative Care: After the procedure, you will receive instructions on how to care for the transplanted grafts and the donor area. Proper aftercare is essential for a successful outcome.

Recovery and Regrowth: Over the following months, the transplanted hair will initially shed, but the hair follicles remain active beneath the skin. New hair growth will gradually emerge, and it can take several months to a year to see the full results.

Hair transplantation can be an effective and permanent solution for many individuals experiencing hair loss, but it's essential to consult with a qualified hair transplant specialist in Milwaukee to determine the most appropriate approach and to receive personalized guidance throughout the process.

Best Hair Transplant Treatment in Mumbai - India

Hair Transplant: What is it and how is it done?

Hair loss is a problem that affects people due to different reasons including hormonal imbalance, aging and balding. Regardless of the trigger, it is a condition that leaves the patient feeling less confident about their appearance and beauty in general. Hair transplant is therefore the process of transferring hair from one part of the head to the bald area in attempt to spark regrowth. The procedure has to be done by a professional dermatologist like Dr. Rinky kapoor who has vast training and experience in the field. Schedule an appointment with any of The Esthetic Clinics near you today to get a diagnosis and treatment plan on how the procedure will be executed and hair transplant cost in general. These are the special details to keep in mind on what the procedure entails in general.

Consultation and diagnosis

Once you have set an appointment with the clinic of your choice, the consultation stage kicks off. Here a professional Hair transplant doctor in India will assess the balding area while looking at the different solutions viable for the same. Medical histories, lifestyle evaluation among other factors are evaluated before a conclusion is reached on the best possible way forward. Upon ascertaining that a patient is indeed a candidate for hair transplant, the pattern, donor area and quality of hair is assessed before the date for the procedure is set.

Anesthesia

Your dermatology surgeon will give you tips on how to successfully prepare for the upcoming transplant procedure. To help with pain management, local anesthesia will be administered to numb both the donor and recipient areas. This ensures you remain comfortable throughout the surgery. You might also want to be prepared for the after surgery procedure where patients need assistance with basic household activities for a fruitful recovery window. The doctor will suggest a number of antibiotics and medication to help with recovery and pain management during the window.

Donor Hair Extraction

There are several methods used in the extraction of hair that will be used during the transplant. The surgeon will proceed with either Follicular Unite Transplantation (FUT) or Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) techniques, depending on the agreed-upon plan. In FUT, a strip of hair-bearing skin is removed from the donor area, and the wound is sutured or stapled closed. In FUE, individual hair follicles are extracted directly from the donor area using a micro-punch or similar tool.

Graft Preparation and placement

In both FUT and FUE, the extracted donor hair is carefully dissected into individual follicular units under a microscope. Each unit may contain one, two, three, or more hair follicles. Tiny incisions or slits are made in the recipient area where the hair will be transplanted. The surgeon takes care to design the hairline and placement to achieve a natural look. The surgeon or a team of technicians carefully places the prepared grafts into the recipient sites one by one. The positioning and angling of the hair are critical to create a natural appearance.

Post-Procedure Care

After the hair transplant, the surgeon will provide instructions on how to care for the transplanted area and the donor site to promote healing. Antibiotics and/or anti-inflammatory medications may be prescribed to prevent infections and reduce swelling. Over the next few weeks, the transplanted hair will shed, which is normal. New hair growth typically begins within a few months.

Conclusion

It's essential to follow post-operative care instructions to ensure proper healing and minimize the risk of complications. You will have follow-up appointments with the surgeon to monitor your progress and discuss any concerns or questions you may have. Be keen to report any anomalies that may surface during the recovery for faster care from your doctor.

Documents detailing a supernatural incident involving Pollux Weismann, child of agent Rebecca Weismann, and another notwithstanding party, name unknown. (Referred to as Jane Doe in the following report for ease of readership).

On the 12th of October, 2010, an unknown supernatural incident occurred within the Mount Rainier National Park, involving Pollux Weismann and Jane Doe.

Later investigations and notes suggest both Weismann and Jane Doe intended to go hiking late at night within the forests in the park looking for supernaturals. The pair of them traveled out to the park, reservations suggesting the pair intended to make a weekend out of the trip.

Further details of what happened that evening, remain unclear and witness testimony also remains unclear. Jane Doe was missing from the scene when discovered and Weismann was found unconscious and wounded.

[This report is split into several sections covering several pages. Additional pages include images referenced within the report]

—

Injuries:

--The injuries sustained by Weismann appear to be from blunt force trauma, these including: severe bruising and contusions along with a broken right arm, three ribs, a broken pelvis, and a concussion. Such injuries infer a fall from a great height or, as suggested by the environmental factors of the forest and area he was found, he rolled a great ways down several hills and several small cliffs before coming to rest at the edge of a stream.

—Other injuries suggest Weismann having been involved in a struggle with someone wielding a knife, or perhaps claws.

Several other injuries remain unknown in origin, possibly connected to the supernatural incident. Most notable of these include:

—A larger acidic third degree burn covering a fourth of his body from the cap of his left shoulder and down to his corresponding hip. Skin grafts and significant therapies will be required for full functionality to return. [see figures 1.0-1.5]

—Other wounds sustained suggest he was bound or grabbed by the wrists, lacerations around both wrists and ankles and the dislocation of both of his thumbs. The multiplied nature of such lacerations would imply having been bound several times. [see figures 1.6-1.7]

—Contusions around the face along with several lacerations on his face suggest having been subjected to violence unlike the binding or the possible fall. However, such wounds would appear older, as if sustained before the incident occurred.

[Added: November 14, 2010] All of the injuries appear to be healing well after surgery. Many will leave lasting scars or will require skin grafts. The large burn suffered continues to fester, suggesting a possible magical cause to such an injury. Treatment plans are being discussed. [see figures 1.8-2.0]

The details of such incident remain a mystery, partially due to Weismann’s deteriorating mental awareness and ability to communicate

He awoke a day and a half after being brought in, to which he was highly aggressive and reactive to various stimuli. This mostly included touch, bright lights, and high pitched sounds. He spoke only in a state of gibberish or in a faltering manner, often growing frustrated with his lack of ability for his communication to be understood.

His speech eventually deteriorated over the next few hours until all clarity was lost, at which point he was provided with written tools to communicate. This lasted for a week and a half and he was able to communicate his wants and needs effectively to provide treatment. 

Bright lights, touch, and high pitched sounds remained distressing.

This manner of communication proved to fail when asked about the incident—his writing turning to unclear scribbles and his demeanor dramatically shifting from calm to aggressive and severely agitated. [examples of writing included in sections below].

His ability to communicate effectively through writing was lost, all of his writing turning to scribbles seemingly clear to him, but unclear to the staff.

After, he more often than not grew agitated and aggressive towards staff and visitors alike. This including several violent incidents involving doctors and nurses. Other incidents involved escape attempts and the destruction of medical equipment, his own bandaging and further aggravating his wounds.

After such incidents, he was kept in a state of heavy sedation for both his own safety and that of staff.

[Added 13 November 2010] Agent Rebecca Weismann was allowed to visit for Weismann’s birthday.

---

A possible magical cause to such deterioration was put forward and options explored by staff:

After suitable magical study from what little could be gathered from Weismann’s deteriorating mind, it was declared for the better of his health that memories surrounding Jane Doe and the supernatural be removed or otherwise barred from his mind.

The removal of such memories would not correct the physical harm done to him, nor will it be able to remove or dampen the “mark” he has been given.

As such, the removal of memories will constitute the events of that night, the supernatural involved in such incidents, and any lingering memories of Jane Doe, since she is considered to “be neither dead nor alive—existing or not existing.” Speculation of her status remains as such until evidence is provided.

More over, memories of the supernatural encountered will only cause further deterioration of Weismann’s mind, and memories of Jane Doe jeopardize possible magical effects surrounding states of existence when such a person no longer exists in the state in which they were remembered.

Rather than the barring of memories, the removal of them will not jeopardize Weismann in the possible event of him learning about such incident. Learning of such things will, in theory, be bereft of context and will truly be unable to be grasped or understood in any strong way by Weismann.

However, the removal of memories still remains an imperfect process with risks still attached. It is impossible to track down all of how a memory has been categorized by the brain and contingency plans should be put in place in the event of a large or full lapse in memory.

The risks of such removal are known to Agent Rebecca Weismann, the caretaker of Pollux Weismann in the event in which he is incapable of making medical choices for himself. The removal was performed on 28 November 2010.

Tests for complications and possible lapses—albeit rare—must continue in the following weeks and months.

With hope, Weismann should regain full usage of his faculties in time and with proper care.

[Added 30 November 2010]: the procedure took well, confirmation rendered from several sources of the removal of such memories and their relocation to ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ for study on the ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ and ⬛️⬛️⬛️.

Further information on the ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ gained from the memories will be placed within the ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️’s agency file.

--

This report includes relevant information on the supernatural(s) Weismann encountered for the ease of readership and later references:

The ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️. Risk level: extremely high. do not approach.

The ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ is defined as a highly aggressive and highly intelligent supernatural. Attempts to contact or to maintain treaties with such supernatural have been attempted with mixed success over the hundreds of years since its discovery. The agency has taken on a “no contact” approach. Little is known of them due to their reclusive and aggressive nature towards most life.

Often accompanying them are the ⬛️⬛️⬛️. they college in pack like groups within the same territory with a singular ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️. They are tolerant of the ⬛️⬛️⬛️, but either appear to serve as food or to be controlled by the ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️.

The ⬛️⬛️⬛️ are well defined as having once been humans and contact with ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ marking their change from human to supernatural. Such contact, even mild, results in having been tainted or “marked” by the ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️. Whether this is by magical or perhaps physical means is unknown. However, many humans that come into contact eventually end up as ⬛️⬛️⬛️ with currently no known way to reverse this transformation—the change is permanent and irreversible.

The triggers of the transformation are unknown, whether they be the constitution of the person involved, the passage of time, or triggered by the supernatural itself.

Notes: Careful observation and check ups with Weismann are required until such a transformation takes place at which point Weismann will be placed into Agency care. He is to not be made aware, per Agent Rebecca Weismann’s request as her child’s sole caretaker in the event Pollux is unable to care for himself.

Notes:

on April 18th 2019, Unit Bravo have been given access to this file per their assignment to the town of Wayhaven and their continued work with Agent Pollux E. Weismann.

Pollux E. Weismann is still not to be made aware of his status or the contents of this file by Unit Bravo per Agent Rebecca Weismann’s request.
