It's Not Your Fault - Blame Biology!
Tue, 07 Sep 2010 18:17:44 +0100 | Psychology Today Personality Center
I turn on the TV and find a commercial informing me that I should Blame Biology rather than french fries for an outbreak of acne. It is true that biologic factors involved in acne include excess sebum production caused by increased hormones, outlet obstruction of sebaceous follicles and inflammation.  Further, research has shown that greasy foods and chocolates won't worsen acne. However, excessive manipulation and rubbing, hair gels, medications, stress and certain foods such as refined sugars and starches will increase oil production and probably the pimple population. In other words, you do have some control over your complexion.This Blame Biology message is not new, nor is it limited to dermatology. We are always looking for something or someone to blame; allowing us to shift resp...

Safe and Effective One-Session Fractional Skin Resurfacing Using a Carbon Dioxide Laser Device in Super-Pulse Mode: A Clinical and Histologic Study
Fri, 03 Sep 2010 15:10:36 +0100 | Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
Abstract  Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser ablative fractional resurfacing produces skin damage, with removal of the epidermis and variable portions of the dermis as well as associated residual heating, resulting in new collagen formation and skin tightening. The nonresurfaced epidermis helps tissue to heal rapidly, with short-term postoperative erythema. The results for 40 patients (8 men and 32 women) after a single session of a fractional CO2 resurfacing mode were studied. The treatments included resurfacing of the full face, periocular upper lip, and residual acne scars. The patients had skin prototypes 2 to 4 and wrinkle degrees 1 to 3. The histologic effects, efficacy, and treatment safety in various clinical conditions and for different phototypes are discussed. The CO2 las...

Ancient 'Paleo' diet key to healthy living and weight loss, some say
Fri, 03 Sep 2010 07:00:00 +0100 | NaturalNews.com
(NaturalNews) Eat like a cave man to lose weight, build muscle and feel great. This is what advocates of the "Paleo" diet say is the key to healthy living, a diet that consists only of meat, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and mushrooms -- also known as the "Paleolithic", or Paleo diet.A recent Chicago Tribune article tells the story of Rick Larson, co-owner of a West Sacramento, Calif., gym called CrossFit. Larson, a Paleo diet supporter, explains in the story that many of his gym members were getting great workouts, but that few were following healthy diets. After experiencing incredible success himself on the Paleo diet, he decided to offer the program to his members as well."For the first time in my life, I started to feel quite healthy. I didn't get any respiratory problems, my arthri...
