改善失眠




避免在睡覺前6小時內喝咖啡或茶,避免在睡覺前兩小時飲酒或吸煙。

保持經常運動但切勿在睡前做劇烈運動。

盡量不要午睡。

習慣睡前,先鬆弛一下,例如閱讀、聽柔和音樂等。

有睡意時才上床,避免在床上工作或看電視。

無論何時入睡,每朝也應該在相若的時間起床。

如果習慣在睡前仍有太多事情要想的話,可轉移在晚飯後,寫下您的問題及解決辦法。

如果躺在床上超過15分鐘仍無法入睡的話,不要再逗留在床上,可以起床坐一陣子,或閱讀一會,直至感到眼睏才回到床上。

若需服用藥物幫助睡眠,切記依照醫生的指示在睡前服用,不可自己增加藥量。

面癱


面神經主司面部表情、淚腺與唾液腺之分泌及舌部之味覺。面神經其實就是第七對腦神經(腦神經共十二對),它的走向為離開大腦後,即進入顳骨之內聽道,並經中耳腔及乳突(以上均包埋在硬骨的管腔內),再由耳下方穿出顏面;因為顏面神經有一大段包埋在硬骨的管腔內,所以一旦受傷或感染所形成的腫脹,在壓力無法紓解下,將直接壓迫神經纖維之內軸。造成神經功能的障礙。

原因
面神經核上癱或面神經核下癱
約有八成是因為病毒感染所引起,最常見的急性單側面神經麻痺,我們可將它稱為特發性面神經麻痺或貝耳氏面神經麻痺(此症狀於1931年英國貝耳(Bell)醫師最早提出)。目前研究證實貝耳氏面神經麻痺與單純性庖疹病毒第一型有關,另外一種常見的病毒感染為帶狀庖疹病毒。

其他原因包括:

  • 創傷性:車禍外傷
  • 發炎性:急性中耳炎、慢性中耳炎合併膽脂瘤
  • 腫瘤:腦部或顱底腫瘤壓迫所引起。
  • 先天性:Moebius綜合症


病徵
有些病人一覺醒來發現自己流涎無控制,半邊臉部麻木,無知覺,照鏡之下發現眼歪嘴斜,好像中風一樣。舌頭有時亦會麻痺,眼乾,口乾等。
其他:耳部附近也會有小水泡,並且異常疼痛。

治療
病症治療

一般而言貝耳氏面神經麻痺的預後尚佳,約八成的病患在三到四週之內會恢復原來的功能,但帶狀庖疹病毒所引起之面神經麻痺,其預後較差,約五到六成的病人會痊癒。根據研究顯示,在發病三天內若合併使用抗病毒藥物與類固醇來治療,在復原的比率及病程上,皆優於傳統療法。

Face Lift surgery



Face Lift surgery has changed dramatically over the past two decades. Stigmata of early, subcutaneous face lift techniques included an operated, overly lifted and unnatural appearance. These suboptimal results have effectively been replaced by the naturally appearing, predictable and long lasting results of sub-SMAS and deep plane face lift operations. Modern face lift techniques no longer apply significant tension to the lifted skin. 

Liposuction of the neck is frequently performed with a modern face lift. Thus an imbalanced appearance between an overly stretched face and an undertreated neck can effectively be avoided. Placement of the incisions has also been improved. The incision line runs inside the ear canal (retrotragal line), thus rendering the incision lines nearly invisible, even when the hair style is such that the ears are not covered.

Face Lift: General information on the procedure


With time, the skin and deeper tissues of the face and neck loosen, lines and furrows form. The fat pads of the cheek descend towards the mouth, creating marionette lines. Moreover, the transition from the face to the neck becomes blunt, the contour of the mandible less visible. Jowls form and fullness under the chin is noted.

Although a person typically still feels young and energetic, their face and neck portends a tired and sometimes sad appearance. Various rejuvenation procedures are available to correct different areas of the face. The choice of the right procedure or combination of procedures depends on a variety of factors, most importantly the patient's wishes and expectations as well as the individual anatomy.

The deep plane face lift is among the most definite procedures available for the treatment of age-related facial changes, especially when changes of the neck are present as well.
