"There arrives a point in time when the procedure should simply be done. We submit that that time is now," the researchers wrote in an article scheduled for publication Friday in The American Journal of Bioethics. The procedure attaches the face of a dead donor to someone with a severely disfigured face, such as a burn or accident victim.

The doctors said they don't have a prime candidate for the procedure, and they are not actively screening for candidates.

They have submitted an application to an institutional review board in the Netherlands and are nearly ready to submit one to an independent board in the United States.

The Louisville doctors said they would not perform the transplant without approval from one of the boards, which are designed to protect medical research subjects' rights.

"The people we're considering are people who have no other options," Dr. John H. Barker, director of plastic surgery research at the University of Louisville, told The Courier-Journal newspaper.

Nichola Rumsey of the University of the West of England, 과천출장마사지 - https://www.popanma.com/%ea%b3%bc%ec%b2%9c%ec%b6%9c%ec%9e%a5%ec%83%b5%cf... an expert in psychosocial issues in medicine, said the ethical issues of the procedure have yet to be fully explored - http://www.trainingzone.co.uk/search/explored . She wrote one of 14 essays written in reaction to the article and published in the bioethics journal.

"Previous research and current understanding indicate that the psychological risks are more complex and extensive than the Louisville team suggest," she wrote. "I have no wish to minimize the distress experienced by many people with severe disfigurements, but to my mind, the current risk/benefit ratio ... is dubious at best."

Besides Louisville, such transplants are being considered by teams in Cleveland, England and France.

LOS ANGELES Los Angeles County Sheriff's detectives are investigating Justin Bieber for reckless driving after witnesses — including former NFL star Keyshawn Johnson — complained about the pop-star's alleged freeway speeds in their gated community in north Los Angeles County.

At about 8 p.m. Monday, Bieber allegedly drove his white Ferrari at freeway speeds in what is a 25 mph zone, Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said.

Johnson was outside with his 3-year-old daughter who was preparing to get into a small electric - http://blogs.realtown.com/search/?q=electric car when Bieber zoomed by. Johnson was upset and got into his Prius, following Bieber to his nearby home. As the garage door was closing, Johnson put out his arm and stopped - http://www.msnbc.com/search/stopped it, telling Bieber he wanted to talk about his reckless driving.

Whitmore said Bieber scurried into his home without speaking.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department received two calls and responded to the location. When they tried to talk to Bieber, 김제출장안마 - https://www.opmassage.com/21-gimjee however, they were also turned away.

"His security detail said he declined to talk to us based on the advice of counsel," Whitmore said.

Deputies interviewed two witnesses, including Johnson, and wrote up their report. They handed that off to detectives who are continuing to investigate the incident.

"Their eyewitness testimony to our deputies was definitive — not only the speed, not only the vehicle, but Mr. Bieber was sitting and driving in the driver's side seat," Whitmore said.

Deputies plan to send a reckless driving report to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office to consider filing misdemeanor charges in the next week or two.

Bieber's publicist did not immediately return a call for comment. Johnson declined to comment via ESPN, where he now works as a TV commentator.

Prosecutors are also looking at whether to charge Bieber for battery in a separate incident involving a neighbor, who complained the pop-star attacked and threatened him.

"We take this very seriously and if this actually did occur, which it appears that it did, it is unacceptable behavior from anybody, anywhere, anytime," Whitmore said.

Thinking of having a destination wedding? Planning one involves a lot of the same things as a traditional wedding -- choosing a guest list, selecting a venue, finding a florist, photographer and so on -- but doing so from another country - https://www.herfeed.com/?s=country adds another layer of difficulty into the mix.

Sarah Pease, owner and creative director of Brilliant Event Planning in New York City (which specializes in destination weddings in Ireland and Spanish-speaking locales) spoke to CBSNews.com and detailed some of the most important to-dos when it comes to saying "I do" abroad.

The first thing couples should do when planning a destination wedding is figure out the guest list, according to Pease.

"Before you can start hunting for locations, you need to know how many people you're accommodating," she explained.

Keeping in mind where guests will be traveling from is also important when choosing a wedding location, Pease added. For example, if the bride's family is based in a big city, they'll have more destinations and flight times easily available to them than a groom's family based in a small town elsewhere.

Which brings us to location, location, location. Couples should be sure to research the legality of getting married in their destination of choice -- and consider making a stop at their local courthouse before hopping an international flight.

"By and large, most of my couples are getting their civil ceremony done in the U.S. beforehand, because so many -- like Mexico, for example -- have crazy requirements when it comes to having a legal marriage," said Pease.

Another thing to consider when choosing a wedding locale: your religious affiliation - http://www.estateguideblog.com/?s=religious%20affiliation . If a couple is getting married in a country where Catholicism is the main religion, for example, they may have a hard time finding a rabbi.

Once a destination is determined, when should couples begin planning? "That depends on your guest list and how important it is for certain guests to be there," Pease said. "Rule of thumb is six months or more, but plenty of couples if they're just doing more of an elopement destination -- where it's maybe just the bride and groom and immediate family -- that can be done in as little as six weeks before."

If couples decide to hire a planner, that person can help with everything from organizing flight information and ground transportation to traditional wedding tasks like finding the right florist and making sure everything is delivered correctly and promptly.

It might not be easy to find those perfect vendors (florist, photographer, makeup artist, etc) when planning from afar, but Pease noted, "If you have a wedding planner who has strong contacts and has done their homework, they should be able to find you people." In bigger countries there will be a wide variety of people ready and eager to help, 구리출장마사지 - https://www.popanma.com/%ea%b5%ac%eb%a6%ac%ec%b6%9c%ec%9e%a5%ec%83%b5%cf... but those may be harder to come by on smaller islands -- and while it could sometimes be easier to bring your own vendors along for the trip, some countries, like Bermuda, require you to use local ones.

Planning a wedding in another country also means being aware of that country's customs and culture, and anticipating that things may move slower in around-the-world locales than they do in the U.S. Getting a response to a request that might seem simple -- like whether or not the salad can be done without tomato, or making sure the officiant has a microphone for the ceremony -- could take longer than couples may expect.

And when it comes to planning out the details of the big day, Pease added, couples should be "overly specific" to ensure nothing gets lost in translation.

"Vendors in foreign countries might not 'know' what you mean when you're talking about your bouquet, or dance floor layout or how you want the chairs arranged. When possible, send photos or sketches or whatever it may be," she advised. "What we may consider standard might not be the case in other places. So these are all things that you'll have to keep in mind as you're planning -- be very specific about what your expectations are, because otherwise you may be disappointed."

The date is set, the venue is booked. Now, what to wear down the aisle?

Shopping for a bridal gown can be exciting for any bride-to-be, but with so many choices out there -- silhouettes, necklines, fabrics, colors -- it's easy to see how it could also become overwhelming.

So, how (and where?) to find that perfect one? Jennie Ma, fashion editor at TheKnot.com, gave us a few tips to help guarantee - http://sportsrants.com/?s=guarantee you'll say "yes" to the right dress.

When to start shopping:

Brides should start looking for gowns eight months before they say "I do," Ma advised. That allows for time to find the right dress, as well as the fittings and alterations you'll need to ensure it looks perfect on the big day.

"It takes time to find the right dress. Some girls are lucky and they find it right away, but it does take longer for a lot of other brides. Definitely give yourself time -- you don't want to feel rushed," she added.

Where to look:

There are a number of different places where brides can look for 계룡출장마사지 - https://www.anmapop.com/%ea%b3%84%eb%a3%a1%ec%b6%9c%ec%9e%a5%ec%83%b5%cf... a bridal gown, all offering different kinds of dresses and experiences.

High-end salons will carry all the top designers and give brides an intimate shopping experience, but it's not the place for a bride-to-be on a budget, Ma said.

Brides can also look for their dress at department stories, which can be a one-stop shop for the entire bridal party -- bridesmaids' dresses can also be found there, and the groom can find everything he needs as well. Some department stores also have partnerships with high-end designers (like Roses by Reem Acra at Nordstrom), offering dresses at more affordable prices.

Brides can also go the retail route, looking at lines offered by companies like J. Crew and Ann Taylor. "They're really great because they have amazing price points and it's another place where you can fully service your entire bridal party and get all the outfits in one place," said Ma.

How to figure out what you want:

Brides can find inspiration on websites like TheKnot.com, with galleries showing all the latest gowns from top designers. Magazines and Pinterest are other places where brides can look through pictures and see what they like -- and, perhaps more importantly, what they don't like.

But other factors from your wedding will also play into the decision-making process.

"I would say the first thing is to figure out your venue and what style you're going for, and that naturally will really help you narrow down what dress you're looking for," Ma said. "If you're getting married in this gorgeous ballroom, you know you need a really dramatic gown. You're not going to want something really simple. So that will inform the decision."

When you go -- be open-minded:

Personal style preferences, budget and the type of wedding a bride is having will all influence what kind of dress she wants. But, brides should still go into the shopping process with an open mind, Ma said.

"It's good to go in knowing what you want. It's good to be prepared and have an idea -- it will help your search process. But at the same time, be open minded," she advised.

So if a friend, family member or bridal consultant suggests you try on a dress, go for it! The worst thing that could happen is you reaffirm that ball gowns aren't your thing. But maybe, just maybe, that mermaid-style gown you didn't think would work will wow you.

Although they called their risk of contracting Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease "remote," officials are notifying 98 brain or spinal surgery patients who may have had contact with the surgical instruments that were used on the infected patient. They also are informing 418 non-neurosurgical patients who had operations Sept. 10-27, although they are at lower risk.

Officials said Thursday that the infected patient's Sept. 15 diagnosis still awaits definitive test results and that could take weeks. The patient entered the hospital Aug. 24 with memory problems and other neurological symptoms, and officials would not say if the patient was still alive.

"Although we believe the chances of an exposure are extremely small, we cannot guarantee they are zero," said Dr. Allan Levey, Emory's chairman of neurology. "That is why Emory is taking every possible step to deal with this matter."

Affected patients began receiving phone calls Thursday. Emory said there was nothing they could or should do in response to the notification, but said it would provide counseling for those who need it.

The concern involves the naturally occurring, or sporadic, form of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease — not the variant form caused by eating mad cow-infected meat. Sporadic CJD, which has no known cause, causes dementia, loss of muscle coordination and eventually death.

There have been four known cases worldwide of sporadic CJD spread by neurosurgical instruments — all occurring in Europe before 1976, when most hospitals began implementing new sterilization procedures, said Dr. Ermias Belay, an epidemiologist with the Centers for 산청출장안마 - https://www.opanma.com/36-sancheong Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.

However, Belay added that more cases may have occurred, but it's often difficult - http://de.pons.com/übersetzung?q=difficult&l=deen&in=&lf=en to trace the source of the disease, which can take more than seven years to show symptoms.

Emory officials said they routinely sterilize all surgical - http://data.gov.uk/data/search?q=surgical equipment and have implemented an even more thorough sterilization procedure since Sept. 15.

Four years after getting the vaccine, 94 percent of women were protected from infection with the virus that causes most cervical cancers - http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=cervical%20cancers and none had developed worrisome precancerous conditions, a study showed.

"We're thrilled about these results. The immune responses seem to be really long-lasting," said Dr. Eliav Barr, who leads development of the vaccine for Merck and Co. The company plans to seek U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval next year for an expanded version of the vaccine that also could be used to prevent genital warts in both women and men.

The new study was funded by Merck and led by University of Washington researchers who presented results Monday at a meeting of the American Society for Microbiology.

"They showed clear effectiveness," said Dr. Scott Hammer, a Columbia University infectious disease expert who reviewed the work but has no ties to Merck or the study. "This is a very important issue for women's health around the world."

If the vaccine makes it to market, it would be the second developed to prevent cancer. The hepatitis - http://www.medcheck-up.com/?s=hepatitis B vaccine has dramatically reduced the number of infections that progress to liver cancer.

Cervical cancer strikes nearly half a million women worldwide each year and kills about half. In the United States, about 15,000 women get it and about 5,000 die.

Virtually all cases are caused by infection with human papilloma virus, or HPV, which is spread through sex. One strain, HPV-16, accounts for about half of all cervical cancers.

A previous study showed that HPV-16 infections were completely prevented in 768 women who had received the Merck vaccine 18 months earlier. None developed precancerous conditions either.

The new study followed 755 of these women for four years after vaccination. HPV-16 infections had taken hold in seven; none developed precancers. In a comparison group of 750 women who received dummy shots, infections took hold in 111 and precancers formed in 12.

Even though protection had waned for a small number of women in the study, the vaccine's effectiveness was still very high, said Dr. Douglas Lowy, a National Cancer Institute scientist who invented the vaccine. The government gave rights to develop it to two companies — Merck and GlaxoSmithKline — and Merck's work is a little farther along, Lowy said

"Revaccination might be advisable at some point," but it will take more study to know whether that is necessary or would improve effectiveness, he said

Women in the study were ages 16 to 23 when they received the vaccine, given in three doses over six months

r>

"Most people think it would be recommended for young adolescents. The idea would be you would immunize people relatively soon before they become sexually active," because the germ is spread through sex, Lowy said

r>

r>
Meanwhile, Merck is in the final stages of testing an expanded vaccine. Besides HPV-16, it contains strain 18, which causes another 10 percent to 20 percent of cervical cancers, as well as strains that cause genital warts in men and women, and penile and anal cancers in men

About 25,000 women and men have been enrolled in that study in 34 countries, and results are expected next year, Barr said

Giving the vaccine to men would not only prevent disease in them but also would prevent infections in their partners, said Steven Projan, a drug development expert with Wyeth who helped review research for the microbiology meeting. The vaccine also might prevent women already infected with HPV from developing cancer, 양산출장안마 - https://www.opanma.com/7-sunshade he said.
