Future Of Acne Treatment Looks Bright With New Laser Therapies
Science Daily – Science Daily (press release) – Oct 25, 2002
25, 2002) — NEW YORK (October 23, 2002) — While it is estimated that more than 80 percent of the world’s population is affected by acne at some point during their life, there is still no cure. Until recently, a combination of topical preparations and oral medications, including antibiotics, has been used almost exclusively with varying degrees of success to combat acne. Now, several laser and light-based technologies have recently been demonstrated to improve mild to moderate acne in a few treatment sessions, and with no known systemic side effects.

That day, he would be commended for his musical talents, academic achievements, admission to Columbia University and triumphs on the varsity volleyball team. But looking in the mirror, he saw not a bright young man with an even brighter future, but a boy who had acne — severe acne. “I showered all the time, sometimes even four times a day,” Grant, now 26, remembers. “My doctor told me to stay squeaky clean and stop eating chocolate and french fries and greasy food like that because he said that makes acne worse.

Acne treatments: Promising therapies for clearer skin
CNN International – Apr 21, 2006
comSpecial to CNN. comWith the right treatment, you can keep acne under control. But what’s the best acne treatment for you? Many options are available, including prescription creams and antibiotics, which target the various causes of acne. But even with the wide range of acne treatments, chronic breakouts may still be difficult to treat. Promising new acne treatments — such as blue light therapy, diode laser therapy or combination treatments — may be effective options if other traditional treatments fail to work. But more studies are needed to determine who would be good candidates for these emerging therapies, the effectiveness of these acne treatments and what the long-term effects might be.
[...] APOCALYPSE WOW! ‘Children of Men’ charts a grim futureNew York Daily News – Dec 26, 2006I also wish it was a better movie. The script drops a central relationship that is developed early in the novel and which carries the reader all the way through James’ dark and strange future. Instead, Cuarón ("Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban") relies on his ample visual style, and he has indeed created a film you cannot tear your eyes away from. Though it bears the marks of a typical postnuclear apocalypse movie, the world of "Children of Men" has apparently been decimated and sterilized by a flu pandemic. Only England has survived as a country, and it is a dystopian nightmare, run by fascists determined to keep immigrants out and to round up and destroy those who slip in. One such immigrant is Kee (Claire-Hope Ashitey), a member of a rebel group whose leader, Julian (Julianne Moore), was once married to activist-turned-bureaucrat Theo Faron (Clive Owen). Because of Theo’s connections in the government, Julian makes contact with him after 20 years and asks for his help in getting Kee out of the country.Related: Bursting myths about acne [...]
[...] Hope For New Diabetes Treatments: Novel Gut-brain-liver Circuit…Science Daily – Science Daily (press release) – Apr 10, 2008Currently, those with diabetes lower their glucose through diet, exercise, anti-diabetic tablets or insulin injections (usually several times a day) and must regularly monitor blood glucose levels. High glucose levels can result in damage to eyes, nerves and kidneys and increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, blindness, erectile dysfunction, foot problems and amputations. Many laboratories around the world are in a race to find alternative and effective ways in which to lower glucose levels because of the severe complications which can result from high sugar levels. "We already knew that the brain and liver can regulate blood glucose levels, but the question has been, how do you therapeutically target either of these two organs without incurring side effects?" noted Dr. Lam, who is also an Assistant Professor of Physiology and Medicine at the University of Toronto. "We may have found a way around this problem by suggesting that the gut can be the initial target instead. Much like a remote control device, the gut is able to relay a signal to the brain which in turn signals the liver to lower glucose production… Many laboratories around the world are in a race to find alternative and effective ways in which to lower glucose levels because of the severe complications which can result from high sugar levels.

Much like a remote control device, the gut is able to relay a signal to the brain which in turn signals the liver to lower glucose production. If new medicines can be developed that stimulate this sensing mechanism in the gut, we may have an effective way of slowing down the body’s production of sugar, thereby lowering blood sugar levels in diabetes.Related: Acne treatments: Promising therapies for clearer skin [...]
