Can a Boob Job Really Increase Self Esteem? Published: 23.10.2008 | Author: icampbell | Category: Health And Fitness Wholesale Willie Green Jersey , Womens Issues
Since the 1960s and the development of silicone breast prosthesis, breast augmentation surgery has become one of the most undertaken cosmetic surgeries in the world, with 329,000 procedures carried out in the US alone in 2006 – 80% of which were for cosmetic reasons.


Despite the thousands of women going under the knife Wholesale Zaza Pachulia Jersey , the safety and ethical aspects of the operation have long been questioned, with many critics suggesting that the motives behind such an operation are based on vanity more than anything else. With celebrities like Pamela Anderson and Carmen Electra gaining worldwide notoriety largely due to their breast implants in previous years, it would be easy to come to the same conclusion, with very few people recognising the psychological benefits cosmetic breast surgery can offer. However Wholesale Omri Casspi Jersey , a recent study, carried out by Cynthia Figueroa-Haas, a clinical assistant professor at the University of Florida’s College of Nursing, set out to prove that there is a direct link between breast surgery and the improvement of self esteem among women who undergo the procedure.


Ms. Figueroa-Haas – insisting that health care practitioners must understand the psychological benefits that breast surgery can offer – studied 84 women between the ages of 21 to 57. The participants in the study had been already scheduled for surgery Wholesale Damian Jones Jersey , all undergoing the procedure for cosmetic reasons. Demographic questionnaires and pre-tests asking the eligible candidates to rate their self esteem were mailed out before their breast augmentation, with similar post-tests being sent to the participants two to three months after the procedure. Ms. Figueroa-Haas found upon reviewing the data that there was a direct correlation between the surgery and an improvement in many of the women’s self esteem.


Using the widely accepted scientific scale – The Rosenburg Self Esteem Scale – it was found that the average self esteem score of the study participants rose from 20.7 on the 30 point Rosenburg scale before surgery, to 24.9 after the operation, clearly showing that Wholesale Andre Iguodala Jersey , among many women, breast augmentation is considered a great way to not only combat certain signs of ageing, but to increase their self esteem.


Despite the results of the study showing genuine psychological improvements following plastic surgery for many of the woman involved in the study, Cynthia Figueroa-Haas’ herself has warned that Wholesale Kevon Looney Jersey , while the self esteem of her study participants rose post surgery, breast surgery should not be seen as the cure to an individual’s self esteem woes; encouraging cosmetic surgeons to screen for patients who may have deep rooted psychological issues that prevent them from ever being satisfied of their body.

Industrial Pressure Blower Co. makes a PT Power Tube Make-Up Air System a sone of the most economical options for larger industrial plants ventilation air make up.

When exhaust fans are used to provide ventilation, both for industrial and process exhaust and personnel comfort Wholesale Jordan Bell Jersey , a negative air pressure is created within the building. This negative pressure causes several problems:

- Process exhaust systems are less efficient and may not work properly.
- Down flow can occur through gravity vents and result in the back venting of products of combustionfrom flues and stacks of heaters and process equipment.
- Drafts are created that are a dsicomfort to employees. Safe operating of outside doors may even be impaired.

Our Power Tube Fan Make-Up Air System solves all of these problems economically, even on the coldest winter day.

In the winter, conventional make-up air systems have to heat the cold outside air prior to introduction into the building. This is an expensive process in both equipment and continuing energy cost. The Power Tube Fan Make-Up Air System is a simplier system that utilizes wasted building heat and basic aerodynamic principles for supplying, tempering and distributing make-up air. And that makes it less expensive than conventional make-up air systems to purchase Wholesale JaVale McGee Jersey , to install and to operate.

PT Power Tube Fan Make-Up Air System uses a special propeller fan with straightening vanes and fan housing mounted to an opening in a building sidewall near the ceiling (an optional roof mounting model is available). A motor operated wall shutter is attached to the outside wall opening under a protective weather hood. A long specially constructed reinforced polyethylene tube is connected to the fan discharge orifice to carry fresh outside air throughout the building and temper it by mixing cold outside air with warm inside air near the plant ceiling before it reaches floor level.

Specially sized and spaced discharge holes in the polyethylene tube produce relatively high velocity turbulent jets of air. This turbulent jet flow swirls and mixes surrounding air particles resulting in the entrinment of the warm ceiling air and the complete tempering of very cold outside air within a relatively short distance. The result is heated make-up air at the price of unheated make-up air.

Power Tube Make-Up Air Fans are available in Sizes 18 to 48 for for air flows up to 40,000 CFM.

PT Power Tube Make-Up Air System tube is constructed of thick woven. Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale Cheap Jerseys China Shop Cheap Jerseys China Online Cheap Hats Cheap New Jerseys Wholesale Hats Wholesale Adidas NHL Hoodie Wholesale Collge Hats Wholesale Basketball Hoodie Wholesale Baseball Hoodie
