Rain, snow, water, and wind can cause the skin to cool faster, which may lead to frostbite. Wet skin and clothes can draw heat from the body even faster. Frostbite occurs most often on small, uncovered areas of the body, such as the hands, fingers, feet, toes, ears, nose, lips, and cheeks....

Cleft lip and cleft palate are among the most common birth defects. A cleft lip (Picture 1) is the result of the lip not fusing (joining) together. This happens during the first few months of a baby’s development in the womb. It often includes the separation of the upper gum line. A cleft palate is a separation in the roof of the mouth. This is caused by the sides of the palate not completely fusing together (Picture 2)....

Parents are understandably nervous when they learn their child has been diagnosed with a swelling or growth. Fortunately, many times the growth is not a cancerous life threatening tumor, but is instead a benign collection of abnormal blood vessels or fluid that is swelling and causing pain and disfigurement. Fortunately a treatment exists for many of these problems called, Sclerotherapy. What is sclerotherapy? Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure, over 300 years old, used to treat abnormal blood vessels, fluid collections called cysts, and some benign tumors....

A herniated disc is a condition that affects the spine. A disc has a tough outside shell and jelly-like center. It functions like a cushion and shock absorber between the bones of the spine (vertebrae). A herniated disc occurs when the jelly-like contents of the disc leak out. Sometimes the herniated disc can push on the nearby spinal cord or nerves. This most commonly occurs in the lower back but can sometimes happen in the neck and mid-back....

How much is “enough” breast milk? The answer is not a number, because it is different for each mother. “Enough” is the volume needed to feed your baby. On average, a woman will make 1-1.5 ounces of breast milk every hour, which means 3-4 ounces every three hours is typical. As a physician and breastmilk advocate, I get particularly annoyed when I see pictures of women pumping and there are five or more ounces in each bottle....
