Tubular breasts, otherwise known as constricted breasts, are associated with some breast tissue deficiency especially medially (around the cleavage area). The appearance of the breasts can vary greatly from a very severe deficiency of breast tissue to mild deficiency. Often times, the patient will have different size and shape between the right and left breast. This is a correctable condition. Of ten, implants can be used to improve the size, shape and symmetry of the breasts.

Chiari Malformation Type I (CM) is a neurological disorder where part of the brain, the cerebellum (or more specifically the cerebellar tonsils), descends out of the skull into the spinal area. This results in compression of parts of the brain and spinal cord, and disrupts the normal flow of cerebrospinal fluid (a clear fluid which bathes the brain and spinal cord). Return To Top.

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging - a non-invasive test which uses a large magnet to create a picture of internal organs) can clearly show if the cerebellar tonsils are out of position. However, since the definition of Chiari is changing, most doctors will use a combination of reported symptoms, a neurological exam, MRI results, and their experience and judgment to determine if a person has Chiari.

TAs are an abnormal collection of microscopic tubes, like bundles of pipes, which form in skeletal muscle. The aggregates are large enough to be seen by a light microscope but the individual tubes require an electron microscope. See similar questions...

The cause is unknown. Tubular aggregates have been reported in many myopathies and other diseases. TAs may also be induced by a range of insults from toxic exposure to alcoholism to over exercise. A theory gaining acceptance is that TAs represent the muscle cell's defensive or adaptive response to excessive Ca++ ion concentrations. See similar questions...

TAM is a rare disease of the skeletal muscle. The most common form arises in middle-aged males. TAs are the sole or main pathological feature of TAM. See similar questions...

If you are re-roofing your home, the tubular skylight should be installed when the new roof is finished. They are designed as a retrofit into existing roofs. If you are building a new home, the roof must be on and the interior ceilings must be plastered. Do not install during construction. This will also increase the probability of incorrectly lining up the skylight. In addition, the job cannot be finished until the plaster is done as the tube attaches to the ceiling to hold it up.

Tubular skylights are an inexpensive option when you are seeking to highlight an area with natural light. They are quick and economical to install because they do not require the construction fo a skylight shaft from the roof to the ceiling below. Although they lack the drama of traditional skylights, they may be the right solution for you if you are interested in adding natural light to a small area such as a closet or hallway, or a small bathroom.

Deformation is the process of disfiguring a part of the body that already exists, while malformation is the process of disrupting a normally formed organ or body part during the original stages of development. See similar questions...

Tubular and clincher are the types of rims that use different kinds of tires / tubes combination. Tubular rims are lighter and require the tire (a sew-up with the tube inside) to be glued to the rim. Clincher rims have a "lip" onto which the tires are attached (no glue required) to the rim. Tubular tires have the tube already inside, while clincher tires use a tube and tire that can be easily separated. See similar questions...

This is sometimes referred to as an incidental finding. Someone has an MRI for an unrelated reason, but it shows a Chiari malformation - meaning the cerebellar tonsils are descended - yet the person has no Chiari type symptoms. As MRI's become more common, this is happening more frequently and is one reason that diagnosing Chiari can be difficult and can not be based on an MRI alone. Return To Top. See similar questions...

Yes, just don't let them twist your head or neck. It's okay to visit them for lower or mid back pains, but if they say or imply they can "fix" your Chiari by Chiropractic manipulation, they do not know much about Chiari. Feedback from thousands of patients shows that it's much more likely to increase your symptoms than fix them. Neck manipulation almost always results in increased symptoms. See similar questions...

Breast cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow out of control in one or both breasts. They can invade nearby tissues and form a mass, called a malignant tumor. The cancer cells can spread (metastasize) to the lymph nodes and other parts of the body. Breast cancer is many women’s worst fear. But experts have made great progress in treating cancer. If it is found early, breast cancer can often be cured, and it is not always necessary to remove the breast. See similar questions...

Breast augmentation is enhancement of the size of the breasts using inflatable implants filled most often with saline (saline implants). Other substances are also used. The next most common substance used in the implants is silicone (silicone breast implants). Breast augmentation can sometimes be called breast implant surgery, breast enlargement surgery, breast aug, and breast augmentation mammoplasty See similar questions...

A clamshell heat exchanger is constructed of two pieces of flat steel (could be aluminized, could be bare, could be stainless steel, etc...). The two pieces of sheet metal are stamped with a concave shape. The two concave sides are pressed together, and are either welded or folded over each other to create a cavity inside. It's inside this cavity that the gas is burned. A tubular heat exchanger is constructed of a single or more tubes. It's inside the tube that the gas is burned. See similar questions...

ANSWER: The main objective is to remove all of the rust and paint and stabilize the metal to prevent further deterioration. You should have some basic knowledge of working with chemicals before attempting the following procedures. These are only basic guidelines, but they will give you a starting point to develop your own system. See similar questions...

Cost is the major difference. A tubular skylight doesn't involve major construction - no beams to cut, no drywall to install, and no painting. A 10" tubular skylight will light up about a 150 sq. ft area or give you the equivalent light as a 2'x2' traditional skylight. A 14" tubular skylight will light up about a 250 sq. ft. area or about the same as a 2'x4' traditional skylight. A 10" tubular skylight can go up to 10 feet in length, and a 14" can go up to 15 feet in length. See similar questions...
