Whiter-Skin Ad Spurs Debate in Thailand

Avoiding tanning beds can also prevent skin cancer and premature aging; the negative effects of the two can show in the present and future. Sunscreen inevitably prevents some of the damaging effects of sun rays and tanning beds, but avoiding sun exposure and tanning beds is the best defense. It significantly reduces the risk of skin cancer and premature aging. The effects of smoke and pollution also have a negative on skin health. Avoiding tobacco usage and smoke significantly reduces the likelihood of developing skin cancer and premature aging.

Healthy Skin: The Ins and Outs of Maintaining Proper Skin Health

Vitex Agnus Castus

[I will] ban this product from now on,” said a Pantip user who goes by “Middle Child. Youngest Sister.” Another wrote, “the discrimination against dark people is unacceptable. It is just a skin tone. It has nothing to do with who people really are. Citra is sick.” But another Pantip member defended Unilever, saying, “the company wants to sell a whitening product, so the ad features a light-skin girl. It totally makes sense.

Study: Cloning cells could stop hair loss

Researchers found that they can take the cells that create hair follicles and clone them. They discovered that those cloned cells sprouted new hair, unlike other methods that move hair from one part of the head to another. This treatment actually adds new hair to the mix. Experts say research is still in the early stages and more studies are needed. However, they are hopeful this method will work for women, who are often not candidates for hair transplants.

Dr. George Cotsarelis, chair of Dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine, said that the study’s findings regarding hair follicle generation were in some ways not surprising, because they confirm what has been suggested by earlier reserach. But the genetic analsyis of dermal papilla cells is novel, and may help researchers better understand “the molecular underpinnings for why cells are able to make a follicies,” Cotsarelis said. However, future research should show that the new method works on adult skin, not just infant foreskin, Cotsarelis said.

Should Mental Health Be A Primary-care Doctor’s Job?

Mental health calls on rise for Oneonta police

is now provided by primary-care doctors , nurse practitioners, pediatricians, and family practitioners. One reason is that there arent enough psychiatrists. I recall discussions, fifteen years ago, among members of my internal-medicine group about whether it was ethical for us to prescribe antidepressants when we practiced in a hospital with dozens of mental-health professionals on staff. We no longer have those discussions. Demand by patients for mental-health care has increased such that if primary-care doctors didnt offer it, many people would go without it. Its estimated that seventy per cent of a primary-care doctors practice now involves management of psychosocial issues ranging from marriage counselling to treatment of anxiety and depression.

14 legislative meeting on the proposed standards, the states mental health advocates voiced their complaints to Paul Dupre, commissioner of the Department of Mental Health. The meeting will come more than two months after the Legislative Committee on Administrative Rules told the department, the hospitals and mental health advocates to iron out their differences . A.J. Ruben, attorney for Disability Rights Vermont, says that the rules would make it easier to involuntarily treat psychiatric patients, and this is against state policy. Title 18 of the Vermont statutes states: It is the policy of the general assembly to work towards a mental health system that does not require coercion or the use of involuntary medication. He told Dupre that the states new rules should align with this policy goal.
