Dr. Bashioum’s Garden Homemade Pickles
September 26th, 2014
As the gardening season comes to a close in Wayzata, I’m experimenting with pickles again this year. This jar marks the first successful recipe that I’ve tried which proved to be edible and have also remained crunchy. I’ve learned that adding a small piece of horseradish leaf in the brine helps to keep that crunch. The cucumbers I grew this year are a yellow variety that have tender skin, making them especially great for salads, too without having to peel them. While it’s always disappointing to have an early frost, the bonus of having a few warm days ahead in the forecast make the task of winding up my gardening chores a more pleasant task.
Fat Grafting After Lumpectomy
September 8th, 2014
Fat grafting is the newest treatment to repair breast asymmetry following a lumpectomy surgery. Autologous or patient’s own liposuctioned fat is used to sculpt a more natural looking breast. Fat is rich in stromal cells, which have regenerative properties that are especially effective in healing tissues damaged by radiation therapy often prescribed for lumpectomies. Lipo-fat grafting is a successful and natural technique for women wanting to avoid extensive surgery to correct the uneven breast shape or divot created by lost tissue from a lumpectomy. Tune in next month to Twin Cities Live to see an amazing story of one women and her breast cancer survival journey.
