Plastic surgery can cover up birth defects
New Delhi, July 28 Known as congenital birth defects, these problems develop when something goes wrong as the embryo develops in the mother's womb. The development of human body is very fast and completes in the first eight weeks after conception. All organs are completed in this process and it is so complex that anything can happen and subsequently result in a birth defect ranging from a minor blemish to complex and life threatening defects involving the brain or heart. According to medical experts, each one of us has a defect some where in the body. It is a matter of chance where you have yours. There are defects found in every organ system of body. Skin being the largest has maximum defects. These range from mild brown coloured blemishes to frank black moles large enough to attract attention. Or some red patches over the skin which look like port wine spilled over skin, or as if a small strawberry is stuck on the skin. Similarly, the defects involving the lips are one of the commonest that require plastic surgery in early infancy. Children born with cleft lip if left untreated become a target of bullies. Unable to speak properly, partly deaf these children live their life with a grotesque deformity sitting right on their face. The defects involving the hands are the commonest and presence of an extra digit or joined digits are common and one out of 300 children born will have a defective hand. The male genitalia and female genitalia form another prominent group of birth defects. All these visible defects can be treated today by the help of plastic surgery. Untreated, these lead to silent sufferings by the child and the family as none of these are life threatening. All the attention goes to treat more dramatic internal defects that are some times life threatening. "While many of these visible defects can be easily treated there are some that may require several surgeries and a lifetime of commitment to combat the effects," says Dr Devansh, senior consultant, plastic and cosmetic surgeon, Max Healthcare here. The most common and sought after treatment of some of these defects is through laser. "Laser treatment is an office procedure and once a patient is through, he can walk back home too," says Dr Devansh.

Principal's remark on
autonomy decried
New Delhi, July 28 Tempers in the academic community are a little frayed about the principal talking about 'autonomy' to the press, without discussing the matter with the teachers of the college and feel that "this reflects on what would be the shape of things in case such fantasies are actually realized." The DTF would like to remind the principal and the powers that similar efforts had been made both inside and outside the college by the teachers, the DTF and the DUTA in the past, and summarily rejected after repeated failure. Sanjay Kumar Bohidar, president, DTF is of the opinion that, "although the UGC has decided on marking out SVC as an 'autonomous college' since its 418th meeting held on August 13, 2004, its silence on the subject is primarily based on the realization that this 'Mountbatten plan' would be firmly resisted. The DTF would do all that is within its powers to stall any such move." |
