AESTHETIC MEDICINE

2009-06-10T09:03:00.000-07:00

Alongside the need for health, exist in modern society, the need to improve the quality of life.
The World Health Organization modified the definition of "health" by shifting attention from the disease to the "psycho-physical well-being."
So the dermatologist, can no longer afford to treat skin diseases, but should be responsible for the maintenance of wellness and skin to the resolution of small changes of the skin which affects the appearance and then the image, how to present the life of the report.
The prevention and treatment of aging skin is one of the areas most important to the dermatologist and Medical Aesthetic.

To ensure that the patient can correctly target your "wishes" and its "chosen" as part of the aesthetic issues, the advice is to follow this DECALOGO:

1 - Information - Do not settle for a newspaper article or television but more than consult a professional.
2 - DO NOT FOLLOW THE LATEST NEWS '- It is said that the novelty of the last hour is the best or the most secure solutions. It may be just a fad!
3 - TURN TO PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATES - Make sure the doctor is admitted to scientific societies, updated and prepared culturally.
4 - WHAT TO CONSIDER ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF INTERVENTION - In case of doubt, prefer the least invasive.
5 - CAREFUL TO WHOM I promise TROPPO
6 - BE AN ISSUE BY MEDICAL TREATMENT OF DOCUMENTS MADE
7 - DO NOT GIVE THE RESULT for granted - do not go to the doctor as it aesthetics or the hairdresser.
8 - DO NOT HAVE EXPECTATIONS exaggerated - not just want to get a result, I must tell you what you want and understand what the aesthetic medicine is able to give.
9 - PREVENTION AND 'better than cure - Start thinking now about how you will be in ten years.
10 - DO NOT THINK A MODEL Irraggiungibile - Veline and models are not "real" but constructed and adjusted figures:

The techniques are the most effective non-ablative RF, the Peelings, the Fillers, Botox and the bio-skin.

RADIO NOT Ablative

The RF is a new therapy based on the emission of energy can develop a heat inside the skin that spreads deep into the dermis to the adipose tissue. The organic efftto that heat is a change in collagen contraction and resulting reorganization of the fibers. The result is a stimulation of fibroblasts (the cells that produce collagen) and synthesis of new collagen and increase the density of the dermis.
The RF is then a procedure for remodeling simple, fast and very competitive with the plastic surgery. The skin becomes more toned and compact already after the first treatment.

I Peelings CHEMICALS

The applications consist of peelings on the skin of various substances that lead to a revitalization and an exfoliation more or less profound depending on the type of substance and the time of application.
The skin is a dynamic body. Every day, the stratum corneum removes, through a physiological mechanism, an infinite number of cell keratinization. The chemical peeling is an accelerated form of exfoliation that takes place through the use of a chemical.
A very superficial peeling accelerates the natural exfoliation of the stratum corneum, and a peeling acting at the deepest create a controlled nell'epidermide damage in the dermis and stimulating the newly-formed collagen fibers.

The chemical peeling creates obvious changes in the skin through three mechanisms of action:
- Stimulation of cell turnover by removing the dead cells of the stratum corneum.
- Elimination of damaged epidermal cells and degenerate, to be replaced by normal skin cells.
- Induction of an inflammatory reaction and activation of mediators of inflammation that trigger the production of new collagen fibers and glycosaminoglycans (RBM revitalizing the dermis).

The substances most commonly used are:

Glycolic acid
Pyruvic acid,
Acid thioglycollic
Salicylic acid
High Potency Peel
Alfa-Beta complex
Yellow peel
Cromopeel
Peeling for body

FILLERS

The fillers are systems to correct and fill wrinkles, contour and increase in volume of the lips, cheekbones and modeling of tion.
Injecting thin needles with a number of substances that differ in duration of action.

Therefore differ in:
REDUCING: collagen, hyaluronic acid (Restylane Fine Lines, Restylane, Perlane)
Not absorbable: (Dermal, Outline, Dermadeep)

Each group has advantages and disadvantages.
The absorbable are safe, correct skin imperfections, the results are reversible, its duration is fickle and have a little power on large volumetric tissue deficiency.
The non-absorbable have more stable results over time, more power filler, but not a survivor of the outcome and increased rate and severity of side effects.

A product with the advantages of both groups and no side effects would be the ideal filler, but it can not exist. But the evolution of modern biotechnology offers us new formulations based on hyaluronic acid that have a longer duration and result in a greater increase in volume. So now you can use an absorbable hyaluronic acid but of long duration, up to 18 months without risk of granuloma formation or inflammatory reactions in the long ends.

Age also counts as a factor to consider. It may be a good idea to simply prevent wrinkles instead of treating them immediately. People in their early twenties may do well to avoid too much sun exposure. Sun block should be used when sun exposure is absolutely necessary.

Natural Creams

2008-04-11T08:08:00.000-07:00

Today everyone wants to hide their age using antiaging skin care procedures , However antiaging skin care is not achieved by any magic potion. Antiaging skin care is about discipline. It is about being proactive. Antiaging skin care is retarding the ageing process. Here are a 9 ways for proactive antiaging skin care:

Avoid oily and fatty food; not only do they lack in essential nutrients but also cause obesity and other diseases which aid the aging process

Stem cell breakthrough as scientists find skin could replace embryos in research

2008-04-10T05:44:00.000-07:00

Scientists have made ordinary skin cells take on the chameleon-like powers of embryonic stem cells in a breakthrough that could quash the ethical storm surrounding regenerative medicine.

The ability to make the sought-after cells from human skin could cut the need to use embryos in stem cell research - and eventually even make them redundant.

The landmark research, hailed by scientists and ethicists alike, also provides a fast-track route to creating stem cells matched to individual patients.

Stem cell expert Dr Robert Lanza said: "This work represents a tremendous scientific milestone - the biological equivalent of the Wright Brothers' first airplane.

"It's a bit like learning how to turn lead into gold."

Two teams of scientists have shown it is possible to reprogramme human skin cells so that they are virtually indistinguishable from embryonic stem cells.

Found in the adult body as well as in embryos, stem cells are master cells capable of turning into every sort of tissue.

They offer great hope as a 'repair kit' for the body, replacing dead, defective and worn out cells in and tissue in conditions from Alzheimer's disease to diabetes.

Embryonic stem cells offer the most promise but their use is mired in controversy, as harvesting them from embryos in the first days of life lead to the death of the embryo.

Opponents of the research say it reduces the miracle of life to nothing more than a spare parts culture. Now, the work by Japanese and US researchers suggests ordinary skin cells could offer an alternative - and ethically acceptable - source of stem cells.

How to Keep Wrinkles off Your Lips

2008-04-10T05:04:00.000-07:00

Whether the wrinkles appear on the upper lip or the lips themselves, it isn't a pretty sight. Having wrinkles or other deep-set lines on the lips can be very difficult to get rid of. Even applying your favorite shade of lipstick can be ruined by the appearance of these annoying lines. But by practicing good lip care, you can say goodbye to wrinkles on your lips and hello to a perfectly pleasant pout.

First thing's first: you have to moisturize your lips. Wrinkles can't form when the surface of your lips is soft, plump and fully hydrated. For those with chapped lips, you may need to take extra care, as dry and chapped skin is a welcoming party for the development of fine lines and wrinkles. If you can manage to keep your lips fully moisturized throughout the day, your chances of getting wrinkles will decrease. Sometimes this may require more than just applying your favorite lip balm.

Just like the skin on the rest of the body, exfoliating is also great for the lips. One way to prep the lips and keep them healthy is by gently rubbing your lips with a clean toothbrush. Use circular motions but keep the pressure light. Unlike the rest of the body, the skin on the lips is thin and delicate. Afterwards, rinse your lips with lukewarm water and apply a non-petroleum lip balm.

Super dry and chapped lips can take this home remedy up a notch by mixing your favorite lip-gloss with sugar, baking soda or cornmeal and applying it to your lips with a toothbrush or your fingertip and rubbing the mixture in circular motions. Rinse with lukewarm water afterwards for a pout that is moisturized and free of icky, peeling skin.

In addition to those tips and tricks, it is also important to be mindful of the things you eat. When lips are chapped and dry, contact with certain foods can irritate and upset the skin on the lips, making them worse and ready for wrinkles. When your lips are chapped or peeling, avoid foods that contain pepper, barbeque sauce or mustard. Also stay away from drinking alcohol and beverages like orange juice, since these can aggravate the lips, causing a stinging sensation. Apply a good lip balm or other special moisturizer to speed up the healing process. Once the lips are back in shape, you can go back to eating and drinking whatever you want.

For lip care, men and women alike have to be diligent. By taking care of the lips early on, wrinkles won't stand a chance. Men should carry a small tube of lip balm and apply it often throughout the day or as needed to maintain soft and smooth lips. Medicated lip balms are also ideal for treating lips that are prone to being chapped and dry. Lip balm with SPF is best since the lips can also be prone to sun damage from UV rays. Women have an array of lip care products to choose from when it comes to lip care. When it comes to lipstick, be sure to choose formulas that also moisturize and keep the lips hydrated. Make sure your lips are properly moisturized before applying lipstick so the color goes on smooth. Adding a layer of lip-gloss or petroleum jelly on top of your lip color will also keep your lips in tip-top shape.

By incorporating these steps into your lip care routine, your lips will be prepped and healthy enough to keep away any and all wrinkles and fine lines

I was at a dinner party recently where four of the guests had just taken a longevity test on the Internet and were arguing over their scores. One chic 50ish Frenchwoman claimed victory with her estimated checkout age as 102. The reset of us sheepishly acknowledged defeat.

These tests are tapping in to a new competitive urge to reach 100 and still have your marbles. How-to books, Web sites and geriatric clinics are proliferating as life expectancy grows.

The number of American 100-year-olds has been doubling about every 10 years since the 1950s, according to researchers at the New England Centenarian Study at Boston University. There are 80,000 American centenarians alive today, and the U.S. Census Bureau predicts near 500,000 by the year 2040.

In Britain, Queen Elizabeth sends letters to each new British centenarian. She totaled 255 letters when she became queen in 1952; last year her staff wrote 4,623 for her to sign.

What is really pushing up the numbers in the developed world is the drop in mortality from infectious diseases, improved geriatric medical care, and higher income levels that mean better food. Now 100 is starting to look like an attainable goal for more people.

To establish your likely longevity, the Web-based questionnaires ask obvious questions like, "How much processed (junk) food to you eat?" "How much alcohol and tobacco do you consume?" "How much exercise do you take?" On the subject of general outlook, one question finally gets to the heart of the matter, "Are you dreading your older years?"

Which leads to a troubling question: Do you really want to live to be 100? Welcome to 100 years of aches and pains. Personally, I can barely stand looking in the mirror and I'm more than 30 years away from 100. God only knows what I would look like at 100.

Doctors have a long list of tips for getting to 100, most of them involving effort and abstention - stop being a couch potato, keep busy, eat oaty things and do slow-motion exercises like tai chi.

Dr. Thomas Perls, a director of the New England study, says the human body should be sufficiently robust to last about 85 years but baby boomers, now reaching their 60s, have done "a terrible job preparing for old age." As a group, they tend to go for high-fat diets, excessive drinking and smoking, and a sedentary lifestyle.

His study has produced a long list of characteristics that members of the 100 Club share: good longevity genes, emotional resilience, good coping skills, intellectual activity, a sense of humor and a zest for life. Optimists live longer, he adds. Oh yes, it also helps to be female, 80 percent of centenarians are women.

A quarter of his centenarians were found to be free of cognitive disorders and scored higher on mental agility tests than the researchers did.

The medical world rejects the use of growth hormones as an anti-aging aid but thousands are not listening. A study in the Journal of the American Medical Association estimated that about 30,000 "older individuals" were treated with growth hormones to try to slow the aging process, many of them paying as much as $500 a month for the injections.

Much serious biological research is under way to stretch life expectancy, however. In clinical terms, the aim is to circumvent the "Hayflick limit," named for biologist Leonard Hayflick. As cells approach their Hayflick limit of about 50 divisions, they begin to show signs of aging, ultimately causing death. If researchers can learn to get around the barrier, they say, life expectancy may be extended dramatically.

While the trends are similar in the G-8 industrialized countries, Russia has emerged as a disturbing exception. Russian men die, on average, at age 58, compared to 73 in the United States and 74 in France and Germany. The relatively poor Russian diet plus a weakness for vodka are the culprits, says a World Bank report. If present trends continue, Russian men will have an average 53-year lifespan by mid-century.

Russia aside, I asked a doctor what he thought about this obsession with staying alive. His reply: "Simple. Because we don't know what's on the other side."

I took one of those Internet tests and ended up with a "score" of 84. I'll be ready for the other side by then.

The Science of Beauty

Just because your admired bark affliction and adorableness articles accommodate accustomed ingredients, doesn't beggarly that they were aloof alloyed together. Back the aboriginal adorableness articles were created, chemists and added scientists accept spent years crafting and formulating the appropriate action to creating the actual articles you adore today.

Putting calm the best beauty, skincare, and anti-aging articles doesn't appear by magic. Anniversary above architect of your admired cast names and artefact curve employs a appropriate agents of scientists, chemists and added individuals who conduct months - alike years - of analysis afore a jar of moisturizer or eye chrism is alike developed. The key for anniversary new account that is created is to accomplish it bigger than the aftermost and - best chiefly - it is has to top the competition. Some companies alike appoint focus groups to acquisition out what benefits, capacity and added factors consumers appetite in the items they purchase. This alike includes apparent things such as the colors and images acclimated on the packages. What affairs best is what the customer wants and affair those needs in adjustment to actualize a appeal for the artefact already it is accessible for administration and sale.

The science that goes into adorableness articles can ambit from simple to artlessly complex. Every lipstick, eye shadow, foundation, eye cream, anti-aging serum and added types of items all abide all-encompassing testing in laboratories about the country and alike in analysis accessories overseas. The bigger the manufacturer, the added manpower and money is invested to accomplish abiding that anniversary artefact that appears on the shelf is top quality, safe, and effective. The key to anniversary adorableness artefact is its formula. This is area alive allure comes into play. Scientists accept to apperceive what capacity assignment calm and how to dispense it for assorted purposes. Some avant-garde analysis laboratories accept alike managed to actualize their own molecules and compounds application added accustomed elements and ingredients. This affectionate of advance can be actual benign to the company, back their new blueprint is one-of-a-kind that the competitors don't have. Anti-aging articles are the best accepted items to accept manmade compounds in its formulas, which allows the aggregation to dispense the blueprint and baby to a specific consumer's needs, such as bark firming or abridgement of accomplished curve and wrinkles.

Once a blueprint has been put calm successfully, the scientists actualize a ancestor that acts as a analysis version. These prototypes serve assorted purposes. Sometimes a competitor's artefact is acclimated as a prototype, with chemists alive to accomplish their adaptation of it bigger and added marketable. Oftentimes a aggregation will booty its acknowledged artefact and actualize altered prototypes to see if a bigger and added avant-garde adaptation of it can be made. A accomplished artefact will not be put calm until it has undergone the abounding bulk of testing appropriate and has anesthetized anniversary one successfully.

After it is all said and done, the ancestor can assuredly accomplish its alteration to the accomplished artefact that is accessible to be purchased.

Mobile Buzz Radiation & Health

2008-04-10T04:39:00.000-07:00

The sped up affection of circadian activity and accretion appeal for accomplishment in best accessible spheres of activity forth with the ultimate admiration of abundance and affluence has advance us to the heights of development in abreast times. All these factors are not alone the active armament of bread-and-butter development annular the apple but additionally the speedometers of accepted of active in a accurate region, country or area. The alone affair that deploys the aspect of this development is the dearth of acceptable growth. On one duke area we're affecting the skies of mega and cellular technology, we're accident account of essentials, i.e. health.

Setting cellular technology the affair of altercation let's accept an overview of it. One of the aloft examples of cellular technology, i.e. the adaptable buzz arrangement is in catechism for a continued time. Both the technology apropos and the amusing scientists had agreed to differ. And it's still a affronted question. Cellular buzz casework actuality the easiest and fastest modes of advice accept billions accept billions of subscribers annular the world. Even in developing countries area a aloft allotment of citizenry is appetite adamantine to amuse basal needs, i.e. aliment and clothing, use of adaptable buzz accept become a call for them.

Mobile phones use cellular technology whereby the regions are covered by radio after-effects application a abject abject antenna as a transmitter and the handset as receiver. Cellular technology is the bigger advantage in a faculty that it provides bigger coverage, added accommodation and bargain ability usage. Both the agenda GSM and the CDMA systems allotment this base. The point that's been aloft added by the amusing scientists and bloom apropos is the aftereffect of radio after-effects on health. These radio after-effects are emitted by both handsets and abject stations.

With advertence to the handsets, the aftereffect of radio after-effects emitted by the corpuscle buzz communication, abnormally with specific advertence to animal health, can be categorized as, thermal, non thermal and genotoxical. Thermal aftereffect is one whereby the electromagnetic acreage of radio after-effects induces arctic molecules that generates dielectric calefaction absolution the alive tissues die. For instance some allotment of head, while accepting the bulletin through radio after-effects if happens to acquaintance added temperature can accept damaged assumption fibers.

Next to the thermal aftereffect is non-thermal effect, in which befitting the temperature generated by radio after-effects connected we altercate alone the electric accepted that passes through the corpuscle membrane, while transceiving messages, and assuredly the genotoxical effect, which has been included in the altercation in 2006. Researches by Greek scientists, Panagopoulos DJ, Chavdoula ED, Nezis IP, and Margaritis LH (2007 Jan) claimed that there's a accidental accord amid corpuscle buzz radiation and DNA damage. Later a European abstraction REFLEX had appear up with some evidences proving the claim, but all the cases were begin to accept an acknowledgment to adaptable buzz absolutely added than normal.

Besides thermal, non-thermal, and genotoxial effects, there had been a continued agitation on 'mobile buzz radiations and cancer'. A account of studies acknowledging the affirmation and blow opposing has additionally been empiric in this context.

The added face of account shows the aftereffect of radio after-effects emitted by abject stations. This is addition acute affair as these after-effects are emitted continuously, and the accretion cardinal of building to aggrandize the advantage with a almost beyond bandwidth. The contempo letters affirmation adverse furnishings of radio after-effects on peoples' bloom active abreast by the abject stations (WHO database). Besides such affectionate of aftereffect there may be some casual hazards that may be acquired by the benightedness or due to the appeal of acute perfection. For instance during maintenance, the abject stations are not angry of, as it may present the arrangement as an inefficient one. This array of mismanagements would absolutely accept chancy furnishings on the bloom of bodies appear beneath the ambit of waves.

Categorizing hazards may array out the akin of adverse furnishings about but actuality specific to the use of adaptable phones it may analyze added avenues. The added use of adaptable phones due to abstruse advance and decreased prices as a aftereffect of low amount of production, accord to the GDPs, but an alarming situation, abandoned best of the time is children's vulnerability to adaptable buzz radiations. Actuality an age group, which is in the action of concrete and brainy growth, they charge added care, but acrimonious assignment schedules of ancestor and the availability of adaptable phones for their use may affect their brainy and concrete advance in any of the above-mentioned way.

Over and aloft the facts apparent earlier, there's no adjustment of casework in the cellular networks. The botheration may abide in a actual low admeasurement in developed countries but the developing countries admitting actuality the bigger markets for cellular networks, are not provided the bloom assurance measures, i.e. the use of corpuscle buzz in best accessible way. Addition anxiety may abide in the anatomy availability of low affection handsets in these countries, which are either not anesthetized by any authoritative ascendancy or if so, the actuality of ascendancy ability accept been questionable.

The agitation is all about the chancy furnishings of corpuscle phones on animal health, but adage that corpuscle phones are chancy in accumulation won't be fair enough. There's annihilation 100% in the world, and there's consistently a allowance for improvement, and betterment, so is the case for cellular buzz technology. We can't leave it as well, but a fair bigger advantage is to accumulate a adjustment and analysis on usage. Corpuscle buzz advice does accommodate the discharge of radio waves, which are captivated by the bodies in one way or other, but it's a hazard alone for bodies with aerial acknowledgment to the radio waves, i.e. all-encompassing use.

In adjustment to accept advantageous masses it's acute to accept adjustment of all cellular activities, forth with affirmation on acceptable advance in the sector. The basic assumption as recommended by WHO can additionally be a acceptable measure, but as the sped up activity can't exclude cellular technology from its sphere, added analysis on hand-off and dejected tooth can be avant-garde and added acceptable measures.

UW-Madison scientists guide human skin cells to embryonic state

2008-04-10T04:36:00.000-07:00

by Terry Devitt

In a paper to be published Nov. 22 in the online edition of the journal Science, a team of University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers reports the genetic reprogramming of human skin cells to create cells indistinguishable from embryonic stem cells.

The finding is not only a critical scientific accomplishment, but potentially remakes the tumultuous political and ethical landscape of stem cell biology as human embryos may no longer be needed to obtain the blank slate stem cells capable of becoming any of the 220 types of cells in the human body. Perfected, the new technique would bring stem cells within easy reach of many more scientists as they could be easily made in labs of moderate sophistication, and without the ethical and legal constraints that now hamper their use by scientists.

The new study was conducted in the laboratory of UW-Madison biologist James Thomson, the scientist who first coaxed stem cells from human embryos in 1998. It was led by Junying Yu of the Genome Center of Wisconsin and the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center
