Questions and answers
Is there a better sleep aide i can get other than what I have been using over the counter
Is there a better sleep aide i can get other than what I have been using over the counter. I know getting Ambian is a big hassle but is here something in between? I've been using Ambian for about 10 years almost daily, if it matters.
Ambian is a one the brand names of Zolpidem. It's available in Russia. You can schedule appointment with neurologist (Dr. Maslak, for example) and doctor will do prescription for you ( for Zolpidem or maybe another sleeping pill).
Rhinoplasty after 40
I would like to do a rhinoplasty, but it is said in some sources that “rhino” is not indicated after 40.
Good afternoon, Lydia. Rhinoplasty is allowable in your age. Dr. Levine, for example, performs rejuvenation in conjunction with rhinoplasty. The human nose grows throughout life. It becomes longer and more unattractive in adulthood. The rhinoplasty in conjunction with a facelift helps to achieve more pronounced
results of rejuvenation.

What to do first
What should I do first: Laser Fraxel and then the fillers, or Vice versa?
Good afternoon, Larisa. It is usually recommended to start with laser rejuvenation techniques, and then "polish" the result with hyaluronic acid injections. We invite you for a consultation. You can make an appointment by tel.: + 7 (495) 933 -66-54

Malignant kidney tumor
CT scan revealed a malignant kidney tumor in my brother. The tumor size is 3x7, which corresponds to stage 2. Tell me, please, how long does it take for such a tumor to be developed? And is it possible to remove the tumor surgically (total kidney removal)?
For a more precise answer we need to assess patient’s CT scans ourselves. At the EMC’s Urology clinic, both total and partial kidney removal with tumor is performed using the da Vinci robot. These surgeries are very gentle with fast postoperative recovery.
Prostate cancer
I am 74 years old. Prostate cancer was diagnosed. Total PSA was 25.8 ng/ml. Outpatient check-up was carried out. Are "Zoladex" injections enough? Biopsy revealed moderately poorly-differentiated small-acinar prostate adenocarcinoma. Where to start?
You should start with an extended examination, namely: skeleton scintigraphy, pelvic MRI, oncological examination. If the results of these tests will be the normal: surgery or radiotherapy may be offered (both with/without “Zoladex” therapy). If the results are abnormal: radiation therapy with/without “Zoladex”
therapy or “Zoladex” therapy may be offered.
