PROCEDURE INFORMATION MINOR SKIN SURGERY MOLES, WARTS & SKIN TAG REMOVAL Moles, cysts and skin tags are extremely common on the face and other parts of the body. Most of the time they are harmless but any changing skin lesion must be assessed

clinics.

Most moles appear in early childhood and during the first 20 years of a person's life. Some may not appear until later in life. It is normal to have between 10-­‐40 moles by adulthood. As the years pass, moles usually change slowly. They can become raised or change colour. Often, hairs develop on the mole. Some moles may not change at all, while others may slowly disappear over time. We generally only remove unsightly / embarrassing moles on face & body or those that catch when shaving or on clothes for cosmetic purposes only.

It is important that you make a habit of regularly checking your own skin for any changes. This is especially important if you are at a high risk of getting melanoma or have had treatment for a previous melanoma. If you find any changes on your skin that happen over a few weeks or months, you should get your GP to look at them. If you spot anything suspicious, see a doctor.

HOW DO YOU REMOVE MOLES/SLIN TAGS/WARTS? Diathermy or scalpel sculpting is used to remove moles, warts, skin tags and other skin lesions. Scalpel Sculpting is a simple way to remove moles (often called "beauty marks," or "birth marks.") without the need for cutting deeply into the skin or placing any stitches. This technique is used in over 95% of our procedures. Diathermy involves the passage of radio waves into the skin to perform the removal or reshaping of a lesion. Different types of needles are used depending on the type of lesion. Sometimes, we also use an elliptical excision and sutures for moles that are suspicious or where the cosmetic result is likely to be better. It is a deep excision that removes the mole completely.

The cost of this starts from £800.00.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING TREATMENT? Initial consultation with our practitioner is required to assess your suitability for treatment based on your medical history and assessment of the lesion.

The treatment area is cleansed and a local or topical anesthetic is applied to ensure the procedure is painless.

Once the surrounding tissue is numb your practitioner will then proceed to remove the lesion(s).

Scalpel excision -­‐ A scalpel is used to shave the mole off flush or slightly below the level of skin. Then an electrical instrument will cauterize or burn the area to stop any bleeding.

Diathermy – A fine tip needle will deliver radio energy into the lesion to destroy skin lesions, warts, and infected tissues, and to cauterize blood vessels to prevent excessive bleeding. The wound is then covered with a small plaster (usually no bigger than the lesion itself).

Your practitioner will then run through instructions on how to take care of your wound and when to remove the plaster. You are usually able to leave the clinic shortly after.

What happens to the mole after it has been removed? Some moles/skin tags are sent for histology analysis after the removal. Although most skin lesions can look normal to the naked eye, occasionally early abnormal cells can be lower in the skin, which could cause skin cancer -­‐ hence the need to send for analysis. The cost of this is from £200 with results in less than 72 hours.

HOW LONG DOES TREATMENT TAKE? The entire procedure takes approximately 15-­‐60 minutes depending on the number of lesions being removed.

HOW LONG DOES THE TREATMENT LAST? There is no guarantee that the removal of any lesion will be effective in every case or a permanent solution.

ARE THERE ANY SPECIAL PRE-­‐TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS?

We only remove skin lesions with verbal/written consent from your G.P/dermatologist that must be obtained prior to your consultation with VGmedispa.

WHAT ARE THE RISKS/SIDE EFFECTS?

Though safe, any medical procedure is not entirely without risk. The risks of removing moles vary from infection, pigmentation, discoloration, anesthetic allergy or nerve damage.

One of the most common issues after mole removal is the scar/indentation. A lot of people choose to remove moles for cosmetic reasons, not realising they may be left with a small scar.

The Information provided is for reference only; please consult with your practitioner if you require medical advice regarding treatment.

POST TREATMENT AFTERCARE We don't normally need to see you again after the procedure as the wound heals within a few weeks.

We do advise the following after treatment; Allow yourself some time to rest & recover.

Avoid touching the area for at least 72 hours, you may gently wash the area with water.

Do not expose the area to intense heat (sauna) or extreme cold until the initial swelling has gone.

If you are taking aspirin or other similar medication, please be aware that this may increase the bruising/ swelling/bleeding at injection point.

Take paracetamol if required for pain

...THERMOCHEMISTRY OF NaOH AND HCl LAB Overview Teacher’s Instruction: Find the Molar Heat of Reaction for the NaOH reaction. Then, predict and calculate the change in enthalpy (ΔE) and change in heat (ΔH) when 5.00g NaOH reacts completely with HCl. Reaction Equation: NaOH(s) + HCl(aq) -> NaCl(aq) + H2O(liq) Net Ionic Equation: Na(OH)(s) + H+(aq) -> H2O(liq) + Na+(aq) The Big Question: If we combine solid NaOH and aqueous HCl, how will the temperature change? What will the change be with, specifically, 5.00g of NaOH? Scientific Background and Principle: WELL, I’ll have you know that we got our hands on a fancy-schmancy Lab Quest 2 with a temperature probe. Now this device allows us to accurately record the temperature of a given entity over a period of time; as such, by having the Lab Quest record the temperature of the system, we were able to gather the total temperature change for the reaction. In theory, the temperature should increase by 53.10o Variables * Independent Variable: Amount of NaOH * We had a theoretical value for temperature that was dependent on the amount of NaOH used; as such, we set our amount at a certain point to achieve that temperature. * Dependent Variable: Heat of Reaction (Temperature) * We measured the temperature of the reaction throughout its duration, which would have varied in intensity and duration based on the amount of NaOH we used * Controlled Variables * Light-- by enclosing the reaction in darkness...

At the core of ET792 are a so-called gas generator and a free-running power turbine. The gas generator consists of a radial compressor, a combustion chamber and a radial turbine. The compressor and turbine are mounted on a shaft. The gas turbine works as an open cyclic process, with the ambient air being drawn out and fed back in. Intake and exhaust silencers reduce the noise in operation of the power turbine. The use of propane as the combustion gas ensures clean, odorless operation. A start-up fan is used to start the gas turbine. The air is compressed and fed to the combustion chamber. Before it enters the combustion chamber the air is slowed by means of a diffuser. The air is then split into primary and secondary. The primary air mixes and burns with the fuel and the secondary air cool the exhaust gases. Relevant measuring values are recorded by sensors and indicated on the display and control panel. The energy of the exhaust gas stream is either converted into mechanical...

Poem Response Paper

...“Yet Do I Marvel,” Countee Cullen expresses an ambivalence that many of us are familiar with. It is not too difficult to sympathize with the poet’s opening lines: “I doubt that God is good, well-meaning, kind,/And Did he stoop to quibble could tell why/The little buried mole continues blind.” Here, it is made plain to us that his beliefs dictate that God is ultimately good and righteous, yet, nonetheless, life has apparently given him reasons to question his. As the title indicates, Cullen is marveling at life and human beings as God’s creations and the relationship we have with Him. Although he says he is free of doubt, skepticism appears to be present in this remark. Here perhaps the rather rhetorical question of why life is the way it is is being posed. It seems, at least up until this point, that Cullen is supposing that a truly good God would not subject His creatures to such paradoxical, even cruel, situations. Upon closer analysis of the mole and its scenario (“The little buried mole continues blind”), which may function as a metaphor for the poet himself, the possibility is not ruled out that the poet is hinting to us what seems to be an inescapably bad situation may in fact be a fixable one. A mole, like all creatures, has adapted in ways that allows it to survive, and it may be that Cullen is suggesting to us that thing are not as random and as terrible as they may seem and that there is a way out of challenging situations. The following line, though, counters this...

Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to determine the molecular weight of two unknown substances by measuring the freezing point depression of an aqueous solution of the unknown substances. II. Experiment Method Equipment: Test tube Constant temperature bath Thermometer Chemicals: H2O Unknown substance #1 Unknown substance #2 To begin this experiment, I started by placing an empty test tube on the solid surface workstation and poured 10mL of H2O into the test tube. I then attached a thermometer to the test tube, documenting that the liquid is clear in color. I then placed a constant temperature bath onto the solid surface workstation. I set the temperature of the constant temperature bath to the freezing point of ethylene glycol ,-15 degrees Celsius. When the desired temperature is reached, I gently place the test tube into in the constant temperature bath. Carefully observing the test tube, I noticed an ice formation, and then documented the temperature at which the freezing point of the solution became a solid. I then carefully clear the workstation and set up for the next experiment. A second empty test tube is placed on the solid surface workstation. I then pour 2 grams of the first unknown sample substance into the empty test tube and attach a thermometer. I notice a silver substance in the bottom of the test tube. I add 10mL of...

...My sister and I were the first ones to arrive at El Pueblito Patio located on 1423 Richmond Avenue Saturday morning around 11 a.m. Since we were so early we were lucky enough to be seated in one of the many white linen cabanas. This restaurant is known in Houston as a cultural, Latin American-Caribbean fusion. As we glanced over the menu, several delicious items popped up, such as redfish, salmon, trout and chicken often paired with a fruit relish, yellow rice and vegetables. The waiter brought us free appetizers, two bowls, one red salsa and the other a yellowish color salsa with some green specks. My sister took a bite out of the yellow salsa, I bit into the corn chips and red salsa. We were both surprised to find out that we enjoyed the tastes of the salsas which were uniquely different. However, we could not figure out what special ingredients were in the salsa but as soon as our waiter arrived we immediately determined the secret as to what the yellow in the salsa was and that was pineapple and a jalapeño blend which was the green specks in the salsa. Both were delicious and exotic. Being on a student budget, we decided the free appetizers were more than adequate for flavor and our budget. Next up was the entrées, we came across many options including both Tex-Mex and Caribbean dishes but ended up with two great choices; the Caribbean snapper which is a fresh bay snapper which is infused with El Pueblito Patio house sauce which came with beans, rice, fried plantains...

Avogadro Number Of A Mole

...A mole is a unit of measurement, and must be based on something reproducible. In order to find the mole, one would need to use Avogadro Number, which is 6.02x1023. This allows one to understand the number of atoms and/or molecules in a mole of any specific substance. For example, a mole of hydrogen atoms is 6.02x1023 hydrogen atoms. Yet, it's more universally understood to write ‘Mole’ rather than 6.02x1023 . It’s commonly asked as to why the term ‘Mole’ was created when terms like grams and kilograms etc already exist. This is because Moles make it easier to convert between atoms, molecules and grams. The empirical formula is defined as a formula which tells the reader the ratio of elements that’s shown in the compound. However, it doesn’t...
