Chest Tightness but no Trouble Breathing: Should You Worry?

Have you been experiencing tightness in your chest, but no problem breathing, no shortness of breath–and as a result, you’ve been trying to reassure yourself that there can’t be a problem with your heart? As long as you can breathe just fine, you figure, your heart is okay?

Does Back Pain with Chest Pain Mean Heart Problem?

Perhaps you’ve read that back pain can signal an oncoming heart attack, or occur with the actual heart attack. Maybe you’ve heard that both back and chest pain can occur with a heart attack. However, does pain in the back, plus chest, automatically mean that there is something wrong with your heart?
“Not necessarily, but possibly,” says Robert M. Davidson, MD, a cardiologist with  SignatureMD, www.signaturemd.com.  “If it is associated with exertion or stress, it might be heart related. If it is affected by movement or position, it is more likely to be muscular-skeletal.”

Miami Butt Doctor goes for the ‘A’ in bottoms

In the world of bottoms, there are apparently four key shapes, and according to Dr Constantino Mendieta, one of the preeminent board certified plastic surgeons for butt augmentation and liposculpting, the “A” shape is the winner.

Dr. Constantino Mendieta wrote the book on butts, called The Art of Gluteal Sculpting. He tells Monsters and Critics there are four main shapes in buttocks: The preferred A, the V, the Square, and the round shapes.

“There’s science behind that statement,” says Dr. Mendieta, who will soon star in his own reality TV series taking viewers behind the scenes into his practice. “A shape bottoms simply mean that a woman’s waist is smaller than her hips, with a ratio of at least 0.7. A noted psychologist – Devendra Singh-  did a study where she found that men all over the world desire women who have that waist to hip magic ratio”

Entrepreneurs disrupt health care model


Upstart entrepreneurs are upending the business model for health care, and this morning’s Supreme Court ruling upholding the heart of the reform law won’t change that.

Innovative business leaders are exploring the edges of how health care is delivered, records are kept, and doctors are vetted. The ruling is just one factor in the overall health care changes they’re seeing and pioneering.

Before the surprise ruling came down, one such company announced it had raised $34 million.Practice Fusion, which helps providers keep electronic medical records, had the VC haul.

Lauren Fifield of that San Francisco startupwrote in a blog post.

Other entrepreneurs told me they were watching the court closely, but the justices’ call–as important as it is–wasn’t a make-or-break one for them.

Matt Jacobson, the chief executive of SignatureMD in Santa Monica, California, said the biggest driver for his company is demographic. Signature is one of a new wave of providers of so-called concierge medicine, in which patients pay a flat fee up front to take care of their primary medical needs.
