Question 3

is there a drug that is anything like merida? will they bring it back?

Accepted Answer

Subitramine: Meridia (subitramine) was removed from the us market in october 2010 because of an increased risk of heart problems. It is very unlikely that Meridia will be brought back to the us market. There are no other drugs that work the same way that merida does, but other drugs that are sometimes used for weight loss are xenical (reduces fat absorption), and stimulants that suppress appetite.

Question 4

how can you clean an old mesh playpen ?

Accepted Answer

Get a steamer: A hand held steamer is an easy way to clean and sanitize irregular shaped objects or those with sensitive fabrics.The jet of steam cools quickly after contact but provides enough water to aid while wiping down the fabric with a clean towel.The models I use shoot out a stream of steam under pressure and make short work of toys and locations.

Question 5

is umbiblical surgery always done with mesh?

Accepted Answer

No: If the umbilical hernia is small enough then it can be repaired without the placement of mesh in the right low risk patient. However, mess is used more often because the hernias are usually larger and in the right cases the use of mesh reduces the risk of recurrence. Best is to discuss your particular case with your general or plastic surgeon.

Question 6

how does the media affect your mental health?

Accepted Answer

It's Up to You: We are exposed to all manner of emotional stimulation when viewing popular media these days.  It really depends on what you watch, how it affects you and whether you continue to watch based on those effects.

Question 7

how does violence in the media affect us mentally?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately : violence in the media has two significant kinds of impact on our mental health. On one hand, it leads to increased violent behavior for some people. On the other hand, it numbs others to violence which may lead to expecting or accepting the occurrence of violence in our society. It may in part explain onlookers not intervening to stop violence in public.

Question 8

is polypropylene mesh safe. is it the only kind of mesh used?

Accepted Answer

Safety of mesh: For decades, gynecologic surgeons used installation of mesh to elevate bladders and consequently cure or partially cure leakage of urine.  Now, mesh has been found to disintegrate and in some, cause pain.  The answer is unclear, but if you had polypropylene inserted and you are asymptomatic, I would make no change. If possible, ask the doctor who did the surgery what he/she advises.

Question 9

what do you do if someone finds you on all your social media sites, friends your friends, likes what you like but you never met> creepy?

Accepted Answer

Friends or friends: Do not respond to anyone you do not know - there are a lot of wackos out there. Keep your privacy setting very strict and restrict who has access to your information.

Question 10

with continuing concerns re: intravaginal mesh, why is it still used frequently for slings.  new slings to soon to determine long term safety?

Accepted Answer

Acceptable Risk: The "failure rate" of the intravaginal mesh is only about 4%.  The commercials on tv advertising class-action lawsuits makes the failure rate seem much higher.  There are risks to every surgery and surgical device use.  It's best to discuss pros and cons with one's physician on an individual basis.
