READING 3 A Work in pairs. Read the title and the first paragraph of the text and answer the questions below. 1 What do you think about the plastic surgeries which are only done for aesthetic purposes? 2 Would you like to change any part of your body? If it was possible to change any part of your body without surgery, which part would you like to change? WORLD’S FIRST TWO PLASTIC SURGERIES One hundred years ago, changing the physical appearance of ourselves may have been a dream or a story that could only happen in fairy tales. Today, however, with the help of plastic surgery, people can change their looks, the shape of their noses, eyes, eyebrows, chins, and other parts of their bodies. Also people who have an accident and get several serious wounds can have a good look again by having a plastic surgery operation. The first step that was taken in the field of plastic surgery happened in 1916, and plastic surgery operations have been developing since then. Walter Yeo, Known as the First Person who had Plastic Surgery. Walter Yeo is a British soldier during World War I, is the first known person to have benefited from plastic surgery. During the Battle of Jutland in 1916, Walter lost his upper and lower eyelids. In 1917, he was treated by a doctor named Sir Harold Gillies, the first man to use skin taken from undamaged areas of the body. Sir Harold Gillies, who is also known as the father of plastic surgery, did the plastic surgery operation on Walter Yeo at Queen Mary’s Hospital in Sidcup, Kent. Walter Yeo is one of the first patients to benefit from his newly-developed technique, a form of skin grafting called “tubed pedicle.” Willie Vicarage was the First Man who got Reconstruction via the “Tubed Pedicle” Technique Willie Vicarage, who was suffering from facial wounds that he got in the Battle of Jutland in 1916, was one of the first men to have facial reconstruction plastic surgery. Antibiotics had not yet been invented at that time, and that meant it was very hard to graft tissue from one part of the body to another because an infection often developed. However, while treating Vicarage, Dr. Gillies invented the “tubed pedicle.” This used a flap of skin from the chest or forehead and placed it over the face. The flap of skin remained attached, but was stitched into a tube. This kept the original blood supply inside and reduced the infection rate.

READING A Work in pairs and answer the following questions. 1) Have you ever seen a 3D printer or watched a video of how it prints three dimensional objects? Do you know how 3D printers work? 2) What do you think about the relation between new technologies and health? How do new technologies affect the health system? Give some examples of new technologies and their reflection on health. 3D TECHNOLOGY IN RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY 7 Microtia is a common congenital deformity seen 1 out of every 4 children, and causes a child’s ears to be deformed and undersized. In addition to the deformed ears, it causes hearing loss because of the missing external structure. Surgeons make replacement operations for the missing parts of the ears. However, in order to use a natural tissue they have to use the child’s own rib tissue. This process is doubtlessly miserable for a 5 year old or a younger kid. Also sadly, ears that are redesigned do not look natural. In order to solve this problem, a team of scientists dedicated themselves to create regenerative tissue structures. Dr. Jason Spector and Dr. Lawrence Bonassar, of Cornell, have been working together to bioengineer human replacement parts since 2007. They mainly work on the replacement of human structures that are primarily made of cartilage like joints, the trachea, the spine, and the nose. In an interview, the scientists summarized their many steps in the development of an almost perfect ear. 1. The first step of redesigning an ear is to get the perfect measurements of the ears by using special photography techniques. Then, the scientists in Cornell combine this image with a 3D printer, which gives a solid form to the prototype of the ear. 2. Then the scientist get the printed ear and inject a gel which contains human cells, specifically taken from the same patient. This process reduces any possibility of rejection.Also , since it is not fully organic, the tissue of the new ear doesn’t die. In short, the Cornell team not only created ears, but also they guided them to grow cartilage to replace the material. Lawrence Bonassar, professor in Cornel University added that “it is a win –win situation for both medicine and science. This development in biomedical technology may conduce new applications in reconstructive surgeries. In the near future, people who had lost a part of their bodies in an accident, may have a fashioned body part that looks very similar to the original. B Mark the sentences as true (T), false (F) or not mentioned (NM). _____Microtia is a deformity which can be seen in 25 out of every 100 kids. _____Microtia is a congenital deformity. _____As well as making a child’s ears deformed and undersized, Microtia also causes sight loss. _____It is easy to do reconstructive surgery on cartilage parts of a human body. _____Scientist also add a gel which contains dead cells. _____After a certain time, the tissue used in the regenerated parts is likely to get worse.

WEIRDEST MASSAGES There may be lots of different kind of physical pain, but there is one that people face most and daily: muscle pain. In order to get rid of this pain, people drink herbal teas, take painkillers, and get a good massage. Like different painkillers and different herbal teas, there are various kind of massages if you are in search of a different type. Some of the weirdest massages around the world are: Python Massage If you are courageous enough, you may have four different Burmese pythons on you to give you a relaxing massage! After sightseeing and visiting Cebu City Zoo in the Philippines, you may ask for a treatment involving pythons slithering on you. The pythons named Michelle, Walter, EJ, and Daniel are fed with 10 chickens before the massage to curb their hunger. The massage takes 10 to 15 minutes, and the tourists who had this experience define these moments as therapeutic and calming. Cactus Massage The idea of getting a massage from a cactus seems contradictory. However, The Four Seasons Resort in Punta Mita, Mexico claims that this massage is pain free because the needles are removed from the plant. For $250, you can hydrate your skin with cactuses. Elephant Massage If you are feeling a bit tense around your back, an elephant may help! The three-ton animal has been trained to gently press its foot on its trainer’s back to perform a show at a tourist park in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Moreover, water was used for pain relief , relaxation and treatment of some illnesses, and it is still being used today. The term hydrotherapy refers to the treatment where the physical power of water is used to stimulate blood circulation and to treat the symptoms of certain diseases. There are lots of different types of hydrotherapy such as underwater massage, mineral baths, Roman baths, hot tub, Jacuzzi etc. These can be used for different purposes besides cleaning. Even though water always seems to be a means of cleaning, it’s also used as a balancer of temperature in the human body. Namely, it can heat up the temperature of cold body as well as reduce the temperature of body which has a high fever. Hydrotherapy can also be used for regulation of blood flow where vasodilation and vasoconstriction occur, and for other problems related to blood flow. 16 Other than these, hydrotherapy can be used in physical treatments like the treatment of wounds and burns, and psychological treatments like anger treatment and relaxation. Whether it is used in alternative medicine or modern medicine, water is always one of the most common means of treatment.

His truck hit the barriers and fell into a crack 25 meters down. He was immediately sent to the hospital, but unfortunately he went into coma. His body was paralyzed from the neck down. The doctors gave him little chance to regain his consciousness, but his wife Sandi and his parents did not lose their hope and they put Mr. Wallis in a rehabilitation center. For nineteen years, his family took care of him, and every weekend they drove him to his home and talked with him with the hope that one day he would gain his consciousness in that familiar environment. For years after years, the family kept talking and taking care of him. One day, Mrs. Wallis visited him and heard him saying “Coke”, and then “Milk”. After a while, Terry Wallis started talking, but it occurred that he lost his short term memory in that accident. He was stuck in 1984 and could not remember anything but his daughter’s name.

THREE DAYS IN THE MORGUE An old lady was brought back to life twice! Hardy Lyudmila Steblitskaya, a 61-year-old Russian woman, was declared dead by doctors, however, she came back to life just before the autopsy. She was minutes away from being cut, but she came back to life after staying in the morgue for three days. In November, Lyudmila was taken to Tomsk Regional Clini- cal Hospital where she spent days because she felt unwell. When her 29-year-old daughter Anastasia was called from the hospital, she was informed by the doctors that her mother had died. The sad woman began planning her mother’s funeral and breaking the bad news to friends and family. She spent 60,000 rubles (£1,223) buying flowers, a casket, and arranging a grave to be dug. She then went to the hospital to get her mother’s body. She was told to wait for a while because the doctors had not performed an autopsy. While she was waiting, a doctor approached her and shockingly said that her mother was not dead, but was in her bed, breathing and alive. In a hurry, Anastasia went into the room and found her mother calling her name. Her mother couldn’t remember what happened, but she remembered waking up in a cold place where she was freezing. Mostly, she was just grateful to be alive and able to see her friends and family. In October 2012, Lyudmila - who has a history of heart problems - had another “apparent death” during a hospital stay, but this time doctors brought her back to life 24 after several hours.

Share your guess with a partner. 5000 YEAR- OLD ARTIFICIAL EYEBALL FOUND Iranian and Italian archeologists have 29 discovered an old golden artificial eyeball in an excavation site on the border between Iran and Afghanistan. This eyeball is believed to belong to a very tall, dark skinned female from Arabian Peninsula. She was examined, and the archeologists found out that she might be between 25-30 years old and had an important role in ancient Persia. She could have been a female oracle, who foresees the future. In her grave, a mirror was also found, and it is believed that they put the mirror into the grave so that the woman could check her amazing eye. On the eyeball, there are small drills and the golden lines indicating the iris and pupil. These gold lines give the effect of light that is reflected on the eye. “At that time, this technology and craftsmanship must have amazed the people around that eccentric a woman”, added Lorenzo Costantini, leader of the Italian group. The archeologists first thought that this artificial eye was placed on woman’s face after she was dead. However, microscopic examination found an imprint left on her eye socket which showed a contact with the golden eye, and due to this they assumed that the woman wore it when she was alive. After more research was done on the skeleton of the woman, archeologists concluded that it dated to between 2900 and 2800 BC, when Shahr-i-Sokhta, the name of the old city that woman lived, was a wealthy, trade city. Shahr-i-Sokhta means “Burnt City” because it was demolished three times and rebuilt again, only to be totally demolished around 2000 BC. The archeologists couldn’t say the exact reason for the death of the woman. However, they could reveal that the woman suffered from an abscess on her eyelid because of long-term contact with the golden eyeball.

AN ARTIFICIAL EYE THAT CAN SEE The scientists announced a big biotechnological development in making an artificial eye 33 that can see like an organic eye. Research done on blind mice revealed that they can crack the neural “code” in the eye. They also did experiments on blind monkeys and successfully deciphered neural system in monkeys’ retina’s offering the hope that one day they will be able to create an artificial human eye that can see. Sheila Nirenberg, a professor at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York, said that they could make a blind mouse’s retina see, and they hoped to do the same to a human retina. Current prosthetic eyes for humans have electrodes that stimulate the retina’s cells. However, these electrodes can destroy the neurons and cause diseases which can lead to blindness. Also these stimulators only allow the blind person to see rough visuals. To restore normal sight, the researchers say artificial eyes must incorporate the code that allows the retina to translate signals from photoreceptors into meaningful images. However, stimulating the retina cells is not enough, they should also be stimulated with the right code in order to create a proper image. This code should be the same code that the retina uses to communicate with the brain. The scientists explained that they had discovered the mathematical formula of this code of the retina and applied it to the prosthetic eye that they created. This gave mice near-normal vision. Nirenberg says the mathematical formula of the code can be put on a “chip” and combined with a mini-projector. The chip will convert images into electrical impulses, and the mini- projector will convert the electrical impulses into light impulses. These light impulses would then trigger light-sensitive proteins and send the code to the brain. After lots of more work and several clinical trials, it should be possible for a blind human to see with these bionic eyes.

What do you think about the pain level while giving birth? Share your ideas with a partner. 2. Do you think that there are some ways in alternative medicine to relieve the child labouring pain? Discuss the ways to relieve the pain. 3. How well do you tolerate pain? What was the most painful experience that you ever had to endure? WATER BIRTH Water birth is a childbirth that happens in water. Some people believe water birth leads to a more relaxed, less painful experience. Critics argue that the safety of water birth has not been scientifically proven yet and also, water birth can increase the risk of infection for the mother or child. Additionally, there is always a possibility of infant drowning. There has been some researches done about the advantages and disadvantages of water birth, but there is no formal statement indicating that it is helpful or not. Parent, child, and birthing organizations have produced statements both supporting and criticizing water birthing. However, it has been widely reported that immersion during the first stage of childbirth reduces the pain of labour. Various theories for the reduction of pain include the suggestions that the mother feels better in water because of the comfortable position and that the warmth of the water. These can create a sedative effect on the mother, they claim. Immersion decreases the release of stress and anxiety related hormones. A 2014 review comparing immersion to regional analgesia found that “immersion during the labour is comfortable and has no side effects. No anesthesiologist is needed, and there is no risk of trauma or the complications of anesthesia. Therefore, water immersion during the labour is an ideal method for relieving the pain during labour.” This review also reported that it has been found that water immersion during the first stage of labour can reduce the length of the first stage, reduce labour pain, and the use of epidural analgesia. It is also associated with a lower rate of cesarean delivery. Even though the facts are not yet proven,water birth is widely believed to have a sedative effect for the mother. B Scan the text again and mark the statements as true or false. 1. _________ Water birth is claimed to reduce the pain in child labour. 2. _________ Most of the mothers choose water birth according to the researches. 3. _________ Water birth may lead infant drowning. 4. _________ Mothers want to have cesarean delivery most of the time. 5. _________ Water birth can reduce the use of epidural analgesia. 6. _________ Immersion has side effects.

Give examples about the similarities and differences between you. 3. If you had an identical twin, would it bother you to have another person looking just like you? A COUPLE WHO HAD BLACK AND WHITE TWINS Do you take after your mother or your father or no one in the family? If so, it is not an unfamiliar situation. Almost everyone takes after their parents or a close relative, but what are the odds of having a sibling who looks just like you? And what are the odds of having two sets of black and white twins? A mixed-race British couple has defied the odds twice by producing two sets of twins. In this weird situation, one sibling appears to be black and the other one is white. Miya, Dean Durrant’s newborn daughter has dark skin, dark hair and dark eyes like him. On the other hand, twin sister Leah has fair skin, blue eyes and red hair like her mother, Alison Spooner. Their older siblings Lauren and Hayleigh, born in 2001, also have strikingly different skin tones and eye colours. Both sets of twins are fraternal rather than identical, meaning that they are the product of two separately fertilized eggs, so it is not unusual that they don’t look alike. Miya’s skin colour was more influenced by her father’s genes, while Leah takes after her mother. However, scientists say it’s rare for a couple to have two sets of twins, and even rarer for them to have such different appearances. The situation is so uncommon that there are no statistics to show its probability, although it is thought likely to become more common because of the growing number of mixed-race couples. B Scan the text and mark the statements as True or False 43 1. ________ The British couple has two sets of mixed raced twins. 2. ________ The twins are identical. 3. ________ This situation is very common in England. 4. ________ Fraternal twins means two babies who are the product of two separately fertilized eggs. 5. ________ Miya takes after her father and Leah takes after her mother. Take after (phrasal verb): To resemble in appearance or in character. Mixed-race (phrase): Consisting of two different races. Fraternal (twins) (adj): Being the product of two separate fertilized eggs. Identical (adj): Being very, similar. Fertilized (egg) ( adj): early stage of an embryo. Odds (n): the probability of something. Defy (v): To resist. C Match the definitions below with the bold words from the text. 1. defy 2. fertilized (egg) 3. fraternal (twins) 4. identical 5. odds 6. take after a. to resemble in appearance or in character b. consisting of two different races c. being the product of two separate fertilized eggs d. being very similar e. early stage of an embryo f. the probability of something g. to resist
