Cosmetic Surgery Techniques Can Enhance Thyroid Surgery Results
Cosmetic surgery techniques, such as having a patient sit or stand while incision sites are marked so they blend into natural lines of the body, can improve the aesthetic result of thyroid surgery as well, researchers say. Computer Models Suggest Planetary And Extrasolar Planet Atmospheres

Guyer described Climate Energy's micro-combined heat and power unit (micro-CHP) to the standing-room-only crowd gathered in the Tang Center as "hopefully, the next big thing in energy."
