Over the last few years, the landscape of plastic surgery has seen remarkable changes. Dr. Robert Kratschmer, a board-certified plastic surgeon based in Houston, sheds light on how the popularization of the drug Semaglutide is affecting patient choices in cosmetic procedures.

"Two years ago, liposuction and fat transfer were the procedures that dominated patient interest," says Dr. Kratschmer. "While they remain popular, the rise of Semaglutide for weight management has led to a notable increase in other procedures, like panniculectomy, thigh lift, arm lift, and neck lift surgeries."

Semaglutide, originally developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, has been growing in prominence for its off-label use in weight management. This has had ripple effects in the plastic surgery community.

Dr. Kratschmer explains, "Semaglutide has offered a non-surgical option for weight loss, which is changing the kinds of procedures people are seeking. Many of my patients have successfully used it for weight loss, but are then left with excess skin that they want to address. As a result, we're seeing a considerable uptick in surgeries designed to remove excess skin and contour the body."

This shift is significant, not only for prospective patients but also for the medical community at large. The rising interest in these procedures suggests that people are becoming increasingly conscious of comprehensive body transformations that focus on both weight loss and body contouring.

"Every medical advancement impacts patient choices," Dr. Kratschmer says. "As physicians, we must adapt and continue to offer the best care based on emerging trends and technologies. It's an exciting time in the field of plastic surgery, and I'm eager to see how this evolves in the years to come."

For those considering plastic surgery, Dr. Kratschmer advises consultations to discuss individual needs and options. "Patient care is always our utmost priority. Our consultations aim to guide patients through the variety of choices now available, so they can make informed decisions that align with their goals," he concludes.

Christoph Waltz’s Most Dangerous Game and more shows being removed by Roku

Christoph Waltz’s Most Dangerous Game and more shows being removed by Roku

Roku will be removing Most Dangerous Game starring Christoph Waltz from its service as well as a handful of other shows.

We’ve seen multiple streaming companies remove titles from their service over the last year in a bid to save money, and Deadline has reported that Roku has joined them. The outlet reports that Roku has begun removing a handful of titles from their service, including Most Dangerous Game starring Christoph Waltz.

Most Dangerous Game began life as a Quibi Original (remember that mess?) before it was salvaged by Roku, who renewed the series for a second season. After learning that he will soon die from a terminal illness and desperate to provide for his pregnant wife, Dodge Maynard (Liam Hemsworth) accepts an invitation from a mysterious man (Christoph Waltz) to participate in a deadly game of survival. Each hour Dodge survives will earn him more money, for a total of $24.5 million if he survives the full 24 hours.

Christoph Waltz returned for the second season of the series, which turned the focus to Victor Suero (David Castañeda), a down-on-his-luck fighter who will do anything to protect his sister when he learns she’s in trouble. To protect her, he agrees to participate in a deadly game. If he survives, he’ll make a fortune.

In addition to Most Dangerous Game, Roku is also removing Slip, a comedy series created by and starring Zoe Lister-Jones. The series follows Mae Cannon, a 30-something who goes on a fantastical journey through parallel universes as she attempts to find her way back to her partner and herself.

Ivan Schneeberg & David Fortier, Co-Executive Chairmen, Boat Rocker Media & Co-Chairmen, Boat Rocker Studios, told Deadline that they plan on shopping Slip to another platform, “Critically acclaimed, heartfelt, hilarious, and completely unique, Slip has only begun to spark the imaginations and bend the minds of audiences around the world.  We’re incredibly proud of this series and are in awe of Zoe Lister-Jones’ talent. We and our partners at TeaTime Pictures are confident that we’ll find a great new domestic home for this ground-breaking series.” Roku will also remove Reno 911, The Newreader, Dishmantled, Moving the Needle with Dr. Woo, Surprise We’re Pregnant, Eye Candy, and Murder House Flip.

Unveiling the Potential Breakthrough - Activating Stem Cells to Delay and Reduce Dementia and Depression Risk


Dr. Lee & Dr. Lin

Dr. Jia-Fu Lee from Tzu Chi Hospital & Dr. Chai-Ching Lin from Power-Stem Biomedical

Alzheimer's disease and dementia severity in the United States is escalating, posing a growing public health crisis. With an aging population, millions are affected by these devastating conditions. The ratio of Alzheimer's patients in the 65+ demographic has reached 1 in 9 based on the study by the American CDC (Center of Disease Control and Prevention), highlighting the urgent need for research, care improvements, and increased awareness to address their profound social, economic, and emotional impact.

In response to World Alzheimer's Month, Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital and Power-Stem Biomedical Group (Parent Company of Beauty-Stem Biomedical) jointly held a symposium. Dr. Jia-Fu Lee from Tzu Chi Hospital and Dr. Chai-Ching Lin, the President of Power-Stem Biomedical, discussed the testing data from a human trial program. 

"Our momentous achievement has arrived!" declared Dr. Chai-Ching Lin, President, Power-Stem Biomedical. "We proudly introduce the world's first stem cell supplement, underwent by rigorous clinical trials and scientific validation. This marks an exciting breakthrough in regenerative supplements, a new chapter in our commitment to advancing science and improving lives."

They assessed brain degeneration by measuring Alzheimer's Disease Risk Index (ADRI) and CD34+ hematopoietic stem cell levels through scientific and quantitative blood tests after the usage of CD34 NU-Signals. It has been observed that when individuals start to notice memory and cognitive decline, the number of stem cells in their bodies also decreases significantly. Clinically, early detection and prevention are possible through a healthy diet, quality sleep, and regular exercise. And refer to the study, activating autologous stem cells through stem cell nutrients can significantly reduce value of ADRI risk index and increase stem cell count.

Dr. Lee from Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital's Dementia Care Center stated that by analyzing brain waves with ADRI technology, and evaluating the risk of dementia through blood tests, it is possible to objectively detect the levels of depression and dementia risk. Through personalized regenerative supplement, mental well-being, exercise, and quality sleep, one can regain cardiovascular and brain health vitality.

Dr. Lin has been researching the field of stem cells for many years, and she has contributed significantly to stem cell nutrition. She has published multiple patents, scientific journals, and books. Dr. Lin emphasizes the importance of paying attention to one's "Health Deposit" after the age of 40. Therefore, tracking CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells, NK natural killer cells, and ADRI annually are crucial life indicators to better understand one's hematopoietic capacity, immune system, and self-healing ability.

Dr. Lee added that, especially in the case of ADRI values, they should be improved to reach a score of 0. Maintaining a happy and contented mind is essential for effectively staying away from depression and dementia.

One Piece season 2 scripts are already finished

One Piece season 2 scripts are already finished

One Piece producers say that scripts for season 2 are already finished and the show could return as early as next year.

Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s long-running manga series One Piece launched last week and seems to have been a big success. Fans are eager for more, and producers told Variety that scripts for One Piece season 2 are already complete.

We’ve got scripts ready,” said Marty Adelstein, CEO of Tomorrow Studios, which produces the series. Production on One Piece season 2 obviously can’t get underway until the SAG-AFTRA strike is resolved, but once they’re able to start, Tomorrow Studios president Beck Clements said the new season could debut as early as next year. “Realistically, hopefully, a year away, if we move very quickly, and that is a possibility,” Clements said. “Somewhere between a year and 18 months, we could be ready for air.

Netflix hasn’t yet announced a season 2 renewal for One Piece, but Clements seems confident it’s coming. “They keep it, as you know, close to the vest until post-launch,” Clements said. “But with Netflix’s support of the title, we expected it to be number one and we sensed their research and algorithms probably saw the possibility for that. But in our subsequent calls post-launch, we have been told that we have exceeded expectations, which is also fantastic.

Based on Japan’s highest-selling manga series in history by Eiichiro Oda, One Piece is a legendary high-seas adventure unlike any other,” reads the official synopsis. “Monkey D. Luffy is a young adventurer who has longed for a life of freedom since he can remember. Luffy sets off from his small village on a perilous journey to find the legendary fabled treasure, ONE PIECE, to become King of the Pirates! But in order to find the ultimate prize, Luffy will need to assemble the crew he’s always wanted before finding a ship to sail, searching every inch of the vast blue seas, outpacing the Marines, and outwitting dangerous rivals at every turn.

One Piece stars Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy, Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro, Emily Rudd as Nami, Jacob Romero as Usopp, and Taz Skylar as Sanji. Additional cast includes Vincent Regan, Ilia Isorelýs Paulino, Morgan Davies, Aidan Scott, Langley Kirkwood, Jeff Ward, Celeste Loots, Alexander Maniatis, McKinley Belcher III, Craig Fairbrass, Steven Ward, Chioma Umeala and Michael Dorman.

Upon the release of the first One Piece trailer, creator Eiichiro Oda expressed his excitement for the series. “I’ll say this. There were no compromises on this show!” Oda wrote. “There was so much that went into it–all of the efforts by the actors, the building of the world and the costumes, presenting things in a way that can only be done in live action, the dialogue–and the entire process of so many people putting their heads together was a festivity in and of itself. The producers and the crew are pros at live action, and frankly, they’re ONE PIECE superfans too. By now I just love the production team and cast so much that I can’t wait for them to get the acclaim they deserve from everyone around the world.“ The first season of One Piece is now streaming on Netflix, so be sure to check out a review from our own Alex Maidy.

What are you hoping to see in One Piece season 2?

Saw and Saw II returning to theaters for double feature ahead of Saw X premiere

Saw and Saw II returning to theaters for double feature ahead of Saw X premiere

Saw and Saw II will be returning to theaters for a blood-soaked double feature ahead of the premiere of Saw X.

James Wan’s Saw launched one of the biggest horror franchises of all time, and almost twenty years since it first began, the premiere of the tenth installment of the franchise is just weeks away. As Saw X takes place between the events of the first two movies, it’s only fitting that the Alamo Drafthouse is bringing Saw and Saw II back to theaters for a killer double feature.

This will give fans a very welcome opportunity to see Saw and Saw II on the big screen before the release of Saw X. You can check out a list of locations screening the Saw double feature below:

  • Arlington, VA (Alamo Drafthouse Crystal City) – Sept 20
  • Ashburn, VA (Alamo Drafthouse Loudoun) – Sept 20
  • Austin, TX (Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar) – Sept 16
  • Charlottesville , VA (Alamo Drafthouse Charlottesville) – Sept 20
  • Chicago, IL (Alamo Drafthouse Wrigleyville) – Sept 16
  • Corpus Christi, TX (Alamo Drafthouse Corpus Christi) – TBC Date
  • El Paso, TX (Alamo Drafthouse East El Paso) – Sept 19
  • Katy, TX (Alamo Drafthouse LaCenterra) – Sept 16
  • Laredo, TX (Alamo Drafthouse Laredo) – TBC Date
  • Los Angeles, CA (Alamo Drafthouse DTLA) – Sept 16

  • Westminster, CO (Alamo Drafthouse Westminster) – TBC Date
  • Winchester, VA (Alamo Drafthouse Winchester) – Sept 16
  • Woodbridge, VA (Alamo Drafthouse Woodbridge) – Sept 20

The last few films in the franchise were seriously light on John Kramer/Jigsaw, but Saw X director Kevin Greutert has said that the new sequel will feature more of Tobin Bell’s Jigsaw than in any other film in the franchise. “Kramer is the centre of the story,” Greutert said. “They tried to make the last Saw without Tobin, and to me, that was a pretty gutsy move.

John Kramer (Tobin Bell) is back. The most chilling installment of the SAW franchise yet explores the untold chapter of Jigsaw’s most personal game,” reads the official Saw X synopsis. “Set between the events of SAW I and II, a sick and desperate John travels to Mexico for a risky and experimental medical procedure in hopes of a miracle cure for his cancer – only to discover the entire operation is a scam to defraud the most vulnerable. Armed with a newfound purpose, John returns to his work, turning the tables on the con artists in his signature visceral way through a series of ingenious and terrifying traps.

Saw X will hit theaters on September 29th.

The Rev. Carrie K. Schofield-Broadbent

Elected as XV Bishop of Maryland

The Episcopal Diocese of Maryland is pleased to announce the ordination and consecration of the Rev. Carrie Schofield-Broadbent as Bishop Coadjutor of Maryland. The consecration will take place on Saturday, September 16, 2023, 11:00 AM at the iconic Washington National Cathedral, 3101 Wisconsin Ave NW, Washington, DC 20016. All are welcome. Tickets not required. The service will be livestreamed. Details on the event and livestream are found here: https://episcopalmaryland.org/event/consecration-of-the-bishop-coadjutor-of-maryland/. Bishop-elect Schofield-Broadbent was elected March 25, 2023.

A press conference with the Right Rev. Mary Gray-Reeves, chief consecrator, and Bishop-elect Carrie Schofield-Broadbent to discuss the future of the Church will be held at 10:15 AM on Friday, September 15 at American University Conference Facility - East Campus Commons, 3319-3395 New Mexico Ave NW, Washington, DC 20016. 

All press are invited to both events.

Deeply committed to honoring the dignity of every human being, the Rev. Schofield-Broadbent consistently attends to her own work around race, climate change, economic justice, and full-inclusion of LGBTQAI+ persons and is committed to helping the Church grow in these areas. Her consecration represents a significant step in furthering the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland's commitment to inclusive leadership and fostering a vibrant, diverse, and welcoming faith community.

The service on Saturday will be a grand celebration of the call of a bishop in The Episcopal Church, which is, in part, to "guard the faith, unity, and discipline of the Church..." (from the Book of Common Prayer, p. 516). The Right Rev. Mary Gray-Reeves, Vice President of the House of Bishops and Managing Director of the College for Bishops, will serve as chief consecrator, joined by a gathering of bishops, clergy, and lay leaders from across The Episcopal Church.

Bishop-elect Carrie Schofield-Broadbent identifies her own core values of ministry as: trust and relationships, truth and transparency, and compassion and faithfulness. These qualities reveal themselves in who God has created her to be: a bridge-builder, someone who is not afraid of tough conversations, and an encourager - grounded in integrity, creativity, and the love of Jesus. Open to the movement of the Holy Spirit, her collaborative leadership style combines strength, graciousness, authenticity, strategy and a generous sense of humor. Her leadership will help guide the work of the people of the Diocese of Maryland into its next phases of building beloved community by doing wonderful reckoning and research around their ties to racism and reparations, and applying those skills to enter deeper conversation with Indigenous people, to look at environmental issues and to seek justice, even when it's hard.
