Beauty Doesn’t Mean Sacrificing Cultural Heritage, Says Dr. J

J’s ethnic rhinoplasty procedures; most often, Dr. J isn’t making a patient’s nose “more Caucasian,” he is simply enhancing a patient’s existing structure, often creating features that are found in other family members of the patient. Dr. J encourages patients to bring up their feelings about plastic surgery and culture during his consultations. He explains his own point of view on the subject and shows examples of his past results, thusly navigating the tricky field of ethnic rhinoplasty with success.

A.S. Watson Health & Beauty Benelux Selects eGain for Omnichannel Customer Service

Now, teaming up with Marc Jacobs to launch an ambitious new colour cosmetics collection called Marc Jacobs Beauty, the retailer is venturing into a new waters and creating new synergies within the LVMH group, which owns both companies. Marc Jacobs Beauty | Source: Sephora NEW YORK, United States In the year leading up to the August 9th launch of Marc Jacobs Beauty, developed in collaboration with beauty retailer Sephora, the lauded American designer was generous with the press. Lengthy profiles appeared in outlets from New York magazine to Womens Wear Daily, in which Jacobs praised the line, declaring that he was surprised by how delighted I am with the results. The collection of shiny lip vinyls, gel eyeliners and high-gloss nail polishes comprising 122 skus (stock-keeping units) in total was an instant hit with beauty magazine editors, offering the just right mix of compelling back story and appealing product to fill the pages of their September issues. In contrast, Sephora was only briefly mentioned in these write-ups and the beauty retailer has declined to comment on the collaboration. That may be because Sephora Originals the moniker under which Marc Jacobs Beauty sits is part of a wider strategy for the company, which now operates stores in more than 30 countries and is seen as one of the LVMH groups biggest drivers of growth. Founded in 1969 by Dominique Mandonnaud and acquired by LVMH in 1997, Sephoras rise is well-documented.

Fighting Forty – How Nutrition And Exercise Can Help You Stay Healthy While Ageing

That means that if you are now 40, by the time you get to 44, you may look and feel 46, and by 60, you could have a 70-year-old body. After age 35, most people lose enough muscle each year that would have helped prevent them gaining four pounds of body fat. That means, you not only lose muscle, the tissue that gives your body shape, tone and strength, but you also gain more fat, the thing that contributes to many diseases. These negative changes are reversible. There are specific ways to eat, exercise and think that can slow and even reverse this rapid ageing process. You can look younger at fifty than you did at forty. Nutrition and exercise may be regarded as the king and queen that rule the kingdom of wellness.

Hormone Replacement Therapy May Reduce Pancreatic Cancer Risk

Hormone therapy risks may vary by weight, other factors

More research into how estrogen and progestin effect pancreatic cancer risk is needed, the researchers said. The new study involved more than 118,000 female public school professionals in California who were surveyed in 1995 to 1996 about their use of hormone replacement therapy and current or past use of oral contraceptives, and were followed until 2009. At the start of the study, 60 percent of the women were postmenopausal, 25 percent of whom were current users of estrogen-only HRT, and 33 percent of whom were current users of estrogen-plus-progestin HRT. During the study period, 323 women (0.27 percent) were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. There was no link between the use of estrogen-plus-progestin HRT and pancreatic cancer risk. The age of participants at menopause, and whether they’d ever had children or breast-fed, were also not associated with pancreatic cancer risk.

Prostate cancer study looks at hormone therapy, androgen suppression

Also, a new study finds cutting back on androgen suppression treatment also reduces difficult side effects. Researchers studied more than 14,000 intermediate risk prostate cancer patients for an average of nine years. The men were divided into two groups. One group received eight weeks of hormone therapy before beginning radiation and the second group received 28 weeks of the treatment. Researchers at the Mayo Clinic say overall both groups had a similar survival rate after they received eight weeks of radiation. But those patients who received the longer course of hormone therapy had more side effects including hot flashes and erectile dysfunction. The study is being presented today at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) 55th Annual Meeting which is being held in Atlanta.

In a large new study of women on HRT, slim and normal-weight women with dense breast tissue saw a nearly 50 percent increase in breast cancer risk, while women who were black or overweight with less-dense breast tissue showed no risk increase at all. “With many medications, the effects aren’t the same for everybody, either for prevention or treatment,” Dr. Dezheng Huo of the University of Chicago, one of the new study’s authors, told Reuters Health. For decades, menopausal women routinely took estrogen alone or estrogen with progestin to cope with hot flashes and night sweats.

Study: Weight Loss Surgery Keeps Diabetes At Bay Long Term, Reverses Complications

Researchers at the Cleveland Clinic looked at a group of people with diabetes who underwent weight loss, or bariatric, surgery to treat their obesity. After tracking patients for up to nine years after getting the procedure, the researchers found obesity-related health conditions like diabetes vanished for several of them. Specifically, 80 percent of patients who had the surgeries met target blood sugar levels of 7 percent HbA1c, a level recommended by the American Diabetes Association . Nearly 30 percent of those who underwent a gastric bypass procedure experienced complete remission of diabetes that allowed them to stay off medication for at least five years, effectively curing them.

New York Bariatric Group Conducts National Survey to Reveal America’s Views On Commercial Dieting vs. Surgical Weight Loss

That said, insurance companies should be doing more to make their members aware of the coverage available for bariatric surgery,” said Garber. “I also find it interesting that 41.5% of people perceive weight-loss surgery as the best solution for those who have a serious weight-related issue, while 35.5% of people believe that people should be able to diet and exercise long-term, and not resort to surgery. This proves that there is a common belief that diets work long-term, when in fact, 95% of the time, they do not work for those who suffer from obesity.” As a result, the New York Bariatric Group has compiled these results and will be executing a tailored and more focused marketing initiative to address some of the concerns and findings reported in the survey.

On health-care fraud, US is pennywise, poundfoolish

Asked how much better mental health services would help the problem, 46% said “a lot,” while 35% said “some,” and 9% said “not much,” according to a CBS News poll from February 2013at the height of this year’s gun control debate. Asked in the same survey how much stricter gun laws could help 21% said “a lot,” 33% said “some,” 19% said “not much” and 26% said “not at all.” When President Barack Obama announced a series of 23 executive actions in his gun control push this year, four of them focused on mental health components. White House spokesman Jay Carney was asked after the Navy Yard shooting whether Obama would push for renewed conversation about mental health and gun controlor, the reporter asked, does the president accept “this is the normal?” “Well, he doesn’t accept that it’s the new normal. He believes that Americans don’t and can’t accept that,” Carney said.

While the GSK case is a high-water mark, it is not unusual for health-care fraud cases to recoup millions of dollars. Earlier this year, for example, a judge slapped a $17.3 million fine on corrupt Detroit-area pharmacist Babubhai Patel as he sentenced Patel to 17 years in prison for fraud involving Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance. With the roll-out of Obamacare, which will expand Medicaid enrollment rolls, as well increase the number of people with private medical insurance, Cantrell and others expect there to be even more opportunities for fraud. It’s only going to increase with the continued expansion of the Medicaid program because of the Affordable Care Act,” Cantrell said. “Last year, we closed over 1,200 complaints because of lack of resources,” Cantrell said.

But, he added, time is running out. Less than one-quarter of Americans approve of the job Congress is doing, about the same as approve of Republicans in Congress, according to recent national polls. Democrats poll slightly higher, and large majorities disapprove of the work of both. Yet, only about a third of Americans say they approve of the health care act. Christie has accepted for his state key provisions of the law, yet campaigned on behalf of candidates who support dismantling it. He has taken no public position on whether to fight the law to the point of government shutdown.

Those exchanges will help people find and buy insurance coverage. Clinton outlined why he says the law will help health care costs go down and give more people greater access to insurance coverage. He took a step-by-step approach, going through everything in the law from who gets covered to how exchanges work and what needs to be improved. “This does give us the best chance we have to achieve nearly universal coverage, provide higher quality health care and lower the rate of cost increases, which we have got to do in a competitive global economy,” he said.

U.S. moves to ease employers’ Obama health-law burden

“One thing retailers and other employers hate more than anything else is sending the same information to different agencies,” said Neil Trautwein with the National Retail Federation, which represents Wal-Mart, Macy’s Inc. and others. The group wants the Internal Revenue Service to work with the Health and Human Services Administration to simplify the rules further.

Sleep Problems In Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder (asd)

Although temporary sleep difficulties are an expected phase of child development, ongoing and persistent sleep disturbances can have an adverse effect on the child, parents and other family members. Indeed, a childs sleeping problems can quickly become a daily parenting challenge. Consequently, we should also expect that sleep problems in children and adolescents with ASD will represent an additional burden on both children and their families, as they attempt to deal with the challenges associated with the symptoms of ASD. Moreover, there is evidence to suggest that insomnia in itself can aggravate autistic symptoms and further impair adaptability. Children with ASD appear to experience sleep disturbances more frequently and intensely than typically developing children.

What Makes Someone A Light Sleeper?

“Without treatment, it tends to get worse over time,” she told Everyday Health. However, there are medications a person can take to help people relax their muscles when they sleep so that they don’t have any muscle activity when they are in REM sleep, Everyday Health reported. REM Sleep Behavior Disorder has also been linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s disease and multisystem atrophy, and seems to occur several years before these diseases, WebMD reported. Sleep Walking And Talking Similarly to sleep paralysis, sleep-walking and sleep-talking occur when part of the brain is awake but the rest of it is asleep, Gehrman said. “With sleep-walking, people are mostly asleep but you’re engaging in what are usually kind of basic routine behaviors,” Gehrman said. “So typically, people sleep walk and go to the bathroom, or go down to the kitchen and get something to eat, but it’s all usually very routine.” Because sleep-walking and sleep-talking occur in non-REM sleep, since non-REM sleep only produces bland, boring dreams, whatever the person is saying or acting out is not related to what they may actually be dreaming about, he said.

Several studies have shown a reduction in hyperactivity and impulsivity with zinc supplementation. The same studies, though, report no change in inattentiveness, which is another key symptom of ADHD. A 2005 study in the Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology, though, did show a correlation between zinc levels and teacher- and parent-rated inattention in children. Foods high in zinc include oysters and other seafood, red meat, poultry, dairy products, beans, nuts, whole grains, and fortified cereals.

Sleep Disorders In Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

When they performed sleep studies of 343 people meeting the Fukuda definition of ME/CFS, they found that 104 – nearly a third – had a primary sleep disorder that explained their symptoms, and thus didn’t have ME/CFS at all. A 1/3 misdiagnosis rate is enough of a reason to look more closely for sleep disorders. In those who didn’t have primary sleep disorders, just under 90% met the criteria for at least one measurable sleep problem. Researchers identified four different groups based on sleep abnormalities. They were: Group 1: Slower to get to sleep, delayed Rapid Eye Movement (REM), lower percentages of stage 2 and REM sleep; Group 2: More frequent awakenings; Group 3: Longer total sleep time, less delayed REM sleep, higher percentage of REM sleep, lower percentage of wake time; Group 4: Shortest total sleep time, highest percentage of wake time after sleep onset. Researchers concluded that doctors need to routinely screen for sleep disorders when considering an ME/CFS diagnosis, and that they should use sleep studies to identify sleep problems and tailor treatments to the specific groups.
