According to Signon SanDiego can one man’s junk be another man’s, well, word of the year? We’ll find out Thursday when members of the American Dialect Society vote for the term that rose to the top of the American lexicon in 2010 during the group’s annual meeting in Pittsburgh.
Junk “is a strong candidate” for the title, said Ben Zimmer, a member of the society’s executive council who writes the “On Language” column for The New York Times Magazine.
The word became a pop-culture favorite in November after Oceanside software engineer John Tyner, 31, used it as part of a warning to Lindbergh Field security agents.
“You touch my junk, and I’m going to have you arrested,” Tyner famously said, during a security pat-down after refusing to undergo a full-body x-ray scan before boarding a flight at the San Diego airport.
The phrase, which was captured on a cell phone video that quickly went viral on the Internet, became a battle cry for people angered by the Transportation Security Administration’s increasingly invasive screening techniques.
New words into the dictionary are constant.” Junk”as a word for 2011 will no doubt find its way to the plastic surgeons office. It is not uncommon for patients to point out to Dr. Stuart Kincaid their unhappiness with what they call “junk “in the trunk. By this, typically they mean the shape of their butt. Dr. Stuart Kincaid explains to his patients that liposuction to shape the upper thigh and crease below the buttocks is very effective in creating a more shapely backside. He cautions patients against buttock implants as they have a high risk of infection and patient dissatisfaction. Dr. Stuart Kincaid consults with each patient individually and creates a plan that would help them to achieve the best results.

According to San Diego channel 8 if your New Year’s resolution involves losing weight, your best chance of success may be to divide your goal into small, manageable parts that you can work on every day, suggests an expert.
“Instead of making the number on the scale the focus, look for other ways to measure success,” Stefanie C. Barthmare, a psychotherapist at the Methodist Weight Management Center at Methodist Hospital in Houston, said in a hospital news release.
When you set your goal, take the time to create for yourself a vision of what it will look like to achieve that goal. For example, your goal might be to participate in a specific activity or to fit into a smaller size of pants. The next step is to break your goal down into segments and gradually begin to stop consuming foods that are bad for you.
“Start by cutting down your intake of soda from three a day to one for the first week, and the next week maybe eliminate cheese from your sandwiches,” Barthmare advised.
“It’s also important to realize that depriving yourself never works. By refraining from one behavior that you know is potentially causing weight gain, you will begin to accumulate small successes. These positive actions and resulting good feelings give you the momentum to keep going and eventually reach the goal you set for yourself.”
Failure at a New Year’s dieting resolution is fairly common. Dr. Stuart Kincaid encourages his patients to be realistic in terms of their dieting expectations. Fat deposits that are localized to one area or another area can be difficult to lose. If the fat deposits are due to hormonal shifts in weight it is even more difficult to lose them. Dr. Stuart Kincaid offers liposuction to patients who have specific areas in which they are dissatisfied. Liposuction removes small areas of fat for a more toned and sculpted look.

According to SignonSanDiego most Americans understand that family history plays a big role in determining their health. A recent survey found that 96 percent realize that knowing their family history is important – yet only one in three Americans has ever bothered to gather and record this information.
Human diseases are usually driven by two main causes: genes inherited through family, and personal lifestyle. Some diseases have a stronger lifestyle factor, while others have a more prominent genetic component. What’s important to know is that these factors can work together to cause disease, and due to recent medical advances, also help prevent disease.
Take diabetes, which is on the rise around the world. Those with a family history of diabetes can have their blood sugar tested to see if they are “prediabetic.” If so, people can help control the advance of diabetes by losing or maintaining body weight through diet and exercise.
The same holds true for so-called vascular diseases such as heart attack or stroke. Patients with a family history of such diseases should inform their doctors, who can then pay closer attention to indications of high bad cholesterol (LDL) or lower good cholesterol (HDL). With a family history of heart attack and stroke, the bad LDL cholesterol should be lower than would otherwise be recommended.
Dr. Stuart Kincaid requires a full family history from all new patients. For breast augmentation patients he notes family breast cancer history. Breast implants do not cause cancer however breast cancer diagnosis is important to note in the chart. Patients should be prepared to provide a complete family history turn the initial consultation.

According to 10news if you spend time with a lot of friends, a part of your brain may be unusually large.
That part is called the amygdala (uh-MIG’-duh-luh), and it’s deep in your brain. Researchers found that among volunteers who got brain scans, those with a bigger amygdala tended to report seeing more friends and family regularly.
Lisa Feldman Barrett of Northeastern University reports the work in a paper published online Sunday by the journal Nature Neuroscience. She says the result makes sense because the amygdala is at the center of a brain network that’s important for socializing.
The study couldn’t show whether a bigger amygdala leads to more friends, or vice versa. Barrett says the influence might run in both directions.

Is understandable that were self-confidence a person has the more social they are likely to be. Dr. Stuart Kincaid helps patients improve their self image and self-confidence with plastic surgery solutions for the aesthetic concerns that bother them the most. The most popular procedures being breast augmentation and liposuction. Patients who choose these procedures typically will triple the size of their wardrobe.

According to NBC holiday breakups are so common that in just the past week alone, a bevy of celeb couples including Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens, “Dexter’s” Michael C. Hall and his wife Jennifer Carpenter and “Nip/Tuck” star Dylan Walsh and his wife Joanna Going have all announced they’re splitting.
Now, data researchers David McCandless and Lee Byron have come up with what appears to be the first actual representation of the trend. Using information collected from Facebook, the duo charted the most frequent times of year that relationships end. There are two astonishing peaks, one in March and one right now.
To collect the data, Byron searched for terms like “‘we broke up,” “breaking up,” “broke up,” and “taking a break” and used a combined output to create the dataset shown in the graph. While the data isn’t really scientific, it does lend credence to the idea that if a relationship is going to fail, it’s likely to fail around the holidays.
Why? After all, don’t we want to be with somebody during the holidays to share hot chocolate, that pathetic camo Snuggie left over from last year, Bing Crosby movies? Don’t we want drunken sex on New Year’s Eve even if only to spare us from having to watch Mario Lopez in Times Square?
Byron said he did some subsequent searching via Twitter and came up with a list of reasons ranging from the mundane (“she was way too flirty” and “we were better off friends”) to the soap-opera ready like “because her husband needs oral sex.”
None of these are particularly holiday-specific, but, say experts, the holidays have a way of magnifying everything.
Relationships can have a profound effect on the decision to have plastic surgery. While it may seem ideal to be in a relationship when choosing plastic surgery Dr. Stuart Kincaid advises his patients that the decision must be solely the patient’s decision. Patients who have procedures like breast augmentation to please a boyfriend or spouse are much more likely to be unhappy with their results if the relationship were to break up. Patients must always remember that ultimately they will be the ones who will need to like the plastic surgery results.

According to CBS 8 headaches are truly miserable things. There’s little good to be said about throbbing, crushing, skull-pounding pain that makes you wince and moan.
Yet headaches can tell a lot about a person. They can indicate things you’re doing that aren’t good for you. They also can warn of serious illness.
“A headache can be a symptom of a simple organic disorder, a serious or complicated disorder, or it can be individually characteristic, like a tension headache or a migraine,” said Dr. Seymour Diamond, director of the Diamond Headache Clinic and director of the inpatient headache unit at Saint Joseph Hospital in Chicago. “There are multiple causes or variations of headaches.”
Dr. Ellen Beck, a family physician and clinical professor in family and preventive medicine at the University of California, San Diego, said that people normally have one of two types of headaches: those that result from muscle tension or strain, known as tension headaches; or headaches that result from swelling of the blood vessels in the tissues surrounding the head, called vascular headaches.
Learning the source of headaches is very important for patients health. Dr. Stuart Kincaid treat patients with Botox injections for wrinkles on the forehead and crows feet. Some of these patients tell Dr. Stuart Kincaid that they enjoy a residual benefit of reduced headaches from the injections.

According to CBS 8 as a general rule, men take lousy care of their health.
They shrug off injuries. They hate going to the doctor for anything. They pay little heed to warning signs for major health issues.
And the results of all that manliness are evident in the statistics. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services:
- One in five American men has heart disease.
- One in three adult men in the United States has high blood pressure.
- Three in four American men are overweight.
Men overall are less healthy and have a shorter life span than women, according to the Men’s Health Network, a national nonprofit group that promotes healthy living for men. And more than half of all premature deaths among men are preventable.
“Men are leading in nine out of the top 10 causes of death,” said Scott Williams, vice president of the network. “I feel like we’re starting behind where health is concerned, compared to women.”
The main way men can improve the length and quality of their lives, Williams said, is to start taking a personal interest in their health.
Dr. Stuart Kincaid encourages his male patients to consider their appearance as well as their health. Men can appear angry and tired from a drooping brow, or loose and lax skin on the eyelids, or bags beneath the eyes. Dr. Stuart Kincaid recommends a brow lift and blepharoplasty to help restore a mans most youthful appearance. In most cases these procedures can be performed together.

According to channel 8 adding to reports that breast-feeding boosts brain health, a new study finds that infants breast-fed for six months or longer, especially boys, do considerably better in school at age 10 compared to bottle-fed tots, according to a new study.
”Breast-feeding should be promoted for both boys and girls for its positive benefits,” said study leader Wendy Oddy, a researcher at the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research in Perth, Australia.
For the study, published online Dec. 20 in Pediatrics, she and her colleagues looked at the academic scores at age 10 of more than a thousand children whose mothers had enrolled in an ongoing study in western Australia.
After adjusting for such factors as gender, family income, maternal factors and early stimulation at home, such as reading to children, they estimated the links between breast-feeding and educational outcomes.
Babies who were mainly breast-fed for six months or longer had higher academic scores on standardized tests than those breast-fed fewer than six months, she found.
More and more evidence supports the benefits of breast-feeding. Breast-feeding takes a toll on woman’s breast aesthetically speaking. After going through pregnancy, then breast-feeding, the breast skin envelope is stretched and when the volume is lost, is less likely to snap back. When a woman has this concern Dr. Stuart Kincaid recommends breast augmentation with a breast lift. Often these procedures can be performed together. Most women are extremely happy to regain their prepregnancy shape.

According to SignonSanDiego whether it’s a stiff neck, a sore lower back — or anywhere in between — back pain affects about eight out of 10 adults during their lifetimes. It helps to know how the spine functions, as well as common causes of back pain and effective treatments.
The spine is a column of specialized bones (or vertebrae), formed in three main sections. The cervical spine includes the top seven vertebrae in the neck leading up to the brain. The thoracic spine consists of the 12 vertebrae in the middle of the back. And the lumbar spine comprises the lower five vertebrae leading down to the sacrum, which connects the spine to the pelvis.
Ligaments connect theses bones to the muscles in the neck, shoulders, back and pelvis. Most back pain results from tension in the muscles and ligaments.
Along the cervical spine, neck pain and stiffness are the most common complaints. Prolonged sitting without moving the head or neck (common with computer work or reading) can increase muscular tension in the area. Some people hunch their shoulders or extend their necks forward while doing computer work, which further increases tightness. It helps to take breaks every 15 to 30 minutes to roll the shoulders, turn the head from side to side and stretch gently.
Back pain can be a debilitating and serious issue. Women with extremely large breast may have back pain due to the weight of their breast. Dr. Stuart Kincaid explains to patients that extremely large breast can also contribute to grooves in the shoulders from bra straps as well as numbness in the fingers. These symptoms are usually improved with breast reduction surgery. Many patients tell Dr. Stuart Kincaid that after surgery they are able to exercise and maintain healthy weight.

According to Sign on San Diego the operator of three residential care facilities in Chula Vista and El Cajon has been arraigned on 26 felony counts after allegedly embezzling almost $665,000 from the bank accounts of two residents shortly before and after their deaths.
Maria Corazon Park, 54, is accused of financial elder abuse, forgery, money laundering and other charges. She was arraigned Dec. 9 in San Diego Superior Court and is being held on $500,000 bond at Las Colinas Detention Facility. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.
Deputy Attorney General Carlos Chavarria, who is prosecuting the case, said Park endeared herself to Fred Figueroa, 91, and George Vickey, 89, to obtain access to their finances. The alleged frauds were uncovered by a suspicious Wells Fargo Bank employee, according to a state investigator’s report.
Park’s attorney, Elliott Kanter, did not return a call for comment Wednesday.
This alleged crime is horrific but does bring to light the trust necessary for a caretaker. Dr. Stuart Kincaid stresses the importance of choosing adult qualified caretakers following plastic surgery procedures. If at all possible it is a good idea for the caretaker to attend the preoperative visit with the patient. More invasive procedures like abdominoplasty, or facelift often cause patients to initially have less mobility. It is important that the caretaker knows to help the patient walk around ,as well as taking medications as prescribed. It is important that the caretaker is responsible and can be trusted to dispense proper medications at the prescribed times and in the prescribed doses.
