The recent article (full reference below) in the Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery journal introduces a new pressure device which looks like it will work better than what has been available (photo credit) and as can be seen in this photo, the upper ear can be treated with pressure which has not been possible with the clip earrings: (more…) *This blog post was originally published at Suture for a Living* (Source: Better Health) Better Health blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5181797 Fri, 02 Sep 2011 12:00:47 +0100 5181797 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5028544&cid=t_147445_113_f&fid=34634&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FEmrAndHipaa%2F%7E3%2FwKz9SlXCSVs%2F Tonight I happened to eavesdrop (the beauty of Twitter) on a Twitter conversation between Bobby Ghaheri, MD (@DrGhaheri) and Chad Peterson (@hosewater2). Dr. Ghaheri is an ENT/Facial Plastic Surgeon and Dr. Peterson is a hockey loving urologist. I loved their twitter exchange about email and Twitter follow up with patients, so I’m posting it here for others to comment on.

Oily skin appears shiny and rougher from other skin types. This happens because the oil producing glands are overactive and produce excessive oil.

People suffering from extreme forms of anterograde amnesia, an inability to consciously recall new information, often display implicit memories without being able to display them consciously.  As an example, they may show a negative emotional reaction when interacting with a doctor who has  been rude to them, even though they can’t recall meeting the doctor.

Like a ripple in the water, a parent’s illness can’t help but affect her offspring. Different studies have documented how depression in a new mother clearly affects her interactions with her baby or toddler. Depressed mothers are more withdrawn, less responsive to their infant’s signals. “Their facial expressions and displays of emotion [are] more muted or flat, and their voices [are] monotone,” explains Ruta Nonacs in “A Deeper Shade of Blue.” “They [remain] disengaged and [do] little to support their child’s activities or exploration of the environment.” A mother’s depression also affects grade-schoolers and adolescents. When parents fail to meet the needs of the people under their care, some kids begin to act out, have ...

I use a product called Cerave as a cleanser and I’m wondering if it’s okay to use that as a moisturizer? I’m worried that using a cleanser/detergent on my face might irritate it or cause redness. The Left Brain responds: I totally agree with you Jen – it doesn’t make sense to leave ANY detergent-containing product on the skin as a moisturizer. Especially one like Aquanil that contains Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. The Cerave product looks like it would be a pretty mild cleanser because it doesn’t contain any of the standard harsh detergents, but some of those ingredients could be irritating too if left in contact with your skin.

The EWG has been attempting to expand awareness for many years.  I myself have been attempting to let individuals know by way of my blog and articles published on eZinearticles.com   It is great to see that other people are working to help as well.

What makes the most difference is selecting a natural skin care product that can generate healthful skin holistically instead of deciding on purely superficial solutions. It is hard to believe that a lot of the most popular elements provide no real benefit.   They are preferred because of misinformation spun by the cosmetic industry.

During the first trimester, the brain and the central nervous system develops from 6 to 10 weeks, a time period commonly known as organogenesis. To minimize the risk of developing birth defects, medications and invasive procedures are usually postponed until the arrival of the second trimester. A recent article in the October 2010 issue of Ob.Gyn. News reported some disturbing findings: Dental fillings in the first trimester were linked to the development of a cleft palate. A cleft palate is a birth defect that has a slit in the roof of the mouth because it failed to close during the first trimester.

Any razor good enough for Tiger Woods and Derek Jeeter should be good enough for me, right?  Advanced technology doesn’t always make a product better. Think of your universal remote control — it has half a dozen buttons you’ve probably never pushed and, if it’s like mine, changing the channel is a complicated affair.  Last week a patient of mine, who looks a lot like Javier Bardem, came to my office frustrated.

I know that may sound like a bold charge, but it is certainly not made without solid evidence.  All anyone has to do is look at the ingredients that are in the average anti aging cosmetic to see that I am correct. Most formulas that are designed to reduce lines and skin sagging can only produce results that last for a few hours at a time.  This is because these products feature ingredients that bind water to the skin to help make it appear fuller, constrict the underlying tissue to make the skin pull taut, or “relax” the facial muscles to the point where they sag and tug at the skin.

Take the instant wrinkle removers that could cause you to lose part or total control over the muscles in your face as a perfect example.  The skin care products don’t help with the loss of collagen, elastin, or hyaluronic acid due to enzyme processes , and they don’t do a thing to boost tissue growth.

One of the latest fads when it comes to “repairing” lines and wrinkles around the eyes is compounds that temporarily paralyze the muscles to lessen the affects of making facial expressions. This does nothing to actually reverse what is causing the lines around your eyes to form.  What you are not told is that long term use of formulas designed to cause temporary muscle paralysis...

Hair transplantation When a patient is confronting the often debilitating prospect of hair loss, dermatologists may opt to perform a cosmetic procedure known as hair transplantation. The way it works is that the dermatologist will remove skin containing hair follicles and surgically attach it to skin lacking these follicles.

You do not need large amounts of vitamins.  You just need a balanced diet and good anti aging natural supplements to help you along.   It’s very difficult , if not impossible, to get every nutrient that you require every day from the foods that you eat.  Studies (conducted in the US and Canada) have proven that vegetables contain less nutrients than they had in the past, due mainly to soil depletion. Some of the most helpful antioxidants cannot be found in common every day foods.  For example, curcumin is one of the most potent antioxidants and na...

It’s called Selphyl or the “vampire facelift,” and it uses a person’s own blood to sculpt the face. Selphyl, according to the company’s website: The patented SELPHYL® System enables the safe and rapid preparation of an activated Platelet-rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM).  A small volume of the patient’s blood is collected and the platelets and fibrin are concentrated during a simple centrifuge process...

It shows a simulation of several teens’ heads hitting and breaking the windshield with resultant facial trauma after the driver is distracted and causes a motor vehicle accident. While perhaps more graphic than the general public is used to seeing on television, the actual facial trauma is much less severe than what actually occurs and presents to the trauma bay in real life.

The system uses a webcam to capture faces, and then subsequently converts the captured emotion into a series of vibrations that correspond with the expressed emotion. The users are expected to train themselves by making their own faces into the webcam and getting a feel for how the vibrations change with the faces they’re making.

The child will be unable to close the eye on the affected side and the corner of the mouth will droop. This is considered a common disorder in infancy to adolescence. Taste on the front of the tongue might be lost but there should be no numbness to the area. The most important thing you want to prevent is dryness of the affected are which will result in keratitis.

It is a rare congenital condition that only affects about 1 in 100,000 children at birth. Moebius syndrome typically results in total or near total paralysis of the face, including eyes that don’t blink. The New York Times has the story of researcher Kathleen Bogart, who was disappointed to learn of the dearth of psychological research into this condition. Having it herself, she decided to help fill the gap, and began researching people with Moebius syndrome. In a new study, the largest to date of Moebius syndrome, Ms. Bogart and David Matsumoto, a psychologist at San Francisco State, foun...

A lot of information, telling the receiver of the smile whether you meant you were happy, amused, or proud. Research into human expression of positive emotions is ongoing and will explore more of these areas in years to come. What we have found so far is that not every specific positive emotion — for instance, pride — is expressed through every type of sense. As the researcher notes, “It will be interesting to consider whether ease of communication via different types of signals may relate to different “families” of emotions, such as self-conscious emotions including pride, and prosocial emotions like love.” If happiness can only be communicated through facial expressions, and not through touch, that’s good information ...

Experience, skills and intellect aside, appearances do matter and unfortunately wrinkles and hollow eyes make many a candidate look harried rather than refreshed and eager to do the job at hand. For a boost of confidence, some women are opting for facial rejuvenation procedures before hitting the interview circuit. Injectable dermal fillers are designed to replace the lost facial volume that occurs as one ages and can be used for a number of issues such as crow’s feet, laugh lines, brow furrows and marionette lines. Although dermal fillers are temporary, lasting anywhere from a few months to a year, there is little reco...

Maybe, but the truth, according to David Matsumoto, Ph.D., a psychologist at San Francisco State University in San Francisco, Calif., will be written all over my face. It might not be easy to see, but it’s there. Dr. Matsumoto, who has made a career out of focusing not on what people say but what the face itself says, works with police and experts around the world to find the truth by reading faces.  It’s a fascinating topic that’s become even more interesting since the arrival of the television show Lie to Me, based on the work of Paul Ekman, which is turning all of us into amateur face readers.

So glimpses at de-identified bodies are a privacy outrage while massive biometric databases and records of people’s travels are good to go? Not necessarily.

Ekman developed the FACS (Facial Action Coding System) based on facial muscle movements and gestures he calls microexpressions. Sound familiar? If you’ve watched the new hit TV series Lie to Me, it’s not only based on Ekman’s work, he’s a consultant for the show, which lends authenticity to the first-ever show about this type of science.

It’s a story worthy of The Onion, but it’s apparently true. Facial recognition is just another way that governments are looking to keep tabs on citizens and residents. The need for specific no-smiling instructions will recede over time as national ID systems facilitate government control and make life in America naturally unhappy.

Apparently, the answer is yes, according to recently published research. The researchers conducted the experiment on 37 undergraduate students who were interviewed and rated on how likable they were. Their Facebook pages were also independently rated on how likable they were. The key finding was that participants rated as more likable in the flesh also tended to be rated as more likable based on their Facebook page. Moreover, an analysis of the cues used to make these judgments also showed parallels between the two mediums. Video-recordings of the face-to-face contacts suggested it was participants who were more non-verbally expressive (through facial expression and tone of voice) who tended to be rated as more likable. Similarly, ...

We equate morality with higher reasoning and not a base instinct like hunger or the need for shelter. New research out from the University of Toronto suggests that perhaps such thinking is wrong. In the study, the scientists examined facial movements when participants tasted unpleasant liquids and looked at photographs of disgusting objects such as dirty toilets or injuries. They compared these to their facial movements when they were subjected to unfair treatment in a laboratory game. The U of T team found that people make similar facial movements in response to both primitive ...

Slowly progressive or sudden facial weakness, often preceded by facial twitching, is a common presenting complain. Bone-targeted high-resolution CT of the temporal bone is believed to be superior to MRI. Enlargement of the facial nerve suggests involvement of a neoplastic process.4 MRI is complementary, providing information about the nerve itself. Abnormal enhancement indicates the presence of the tumor. High-resolution CT should be performed first to visualize the facial canal followed by MRI to demonstrate the actual tumor. In this case of insidious facila nerve palsy we see mass in the external auditory canal, hypotympanum and descending facial nerve canal.Dr.Sumer K Set...

A good sunscreen serves two purposes namely, helping the skin maintain its natural oils and moisture, which can be lost through exposure to the sun’s radiation. Secondly, sunscreen also protects the skin against UVA and UVB rays, whose destructive effects have increased remarkably with the reduction in the atmosphere’s ozone layer. Global warming has its devastating effects for the environment as well as our skin. Rising temperatures and humidity leaves a bad impact on the skin, which might result in sunburns. Sunlight causes skin pigment cells, called melanocytes, to synthesize increased amounts of melanin, giving the skin a protective pigment or tan. But, while increased melanin can perform as a natural filter to keep harmful UV rad...

They made the effect subtle enough so that you wouldn’t be able to detect something had been done to the photo. They then asked which candidate the participant would vote for. The results? Those who looked at the real photos said they would vote for Bush over Kerry by 46 to 44 percent, predicting the same two-point spread that marked Bush’s victory in the actual election.

Reporter Patti Davis commented: In the study of “micro-expressions”—yes, it is actually a field of study and there are some who are arrogant enough to call it a science—it has been decided that when people wish to conceal emotions, the truth of their feelings is revealed in facial flashes. These experts have determined that fear and disgust are the key things to look for because they can hint of deception…. Let’s see, fear and disgust in an airport? I’m frightened and disgusted weeks before I have to show up at an airport. Eyes for Lies rightly takes Davis to task for contradicting herself: It’s not about spotti...

It is just the kind of thing I might have benefited from. [translation - at least three years ago]Some autistic children are "notorious" for their inappropriate responses. Some poor luckless child scrapes their knee at playtime and the heartless autistic child with no soul nor empathy for the human condition, cackles with laughter. Some people are aware that the contrary is true, that in general autistic people have far more sensitivity to others, a greater degree of compassion, it is merely a bad wiring job in the "response department." Faulty cataloging and a dodgy retrieval system means that response 35a com...

Ultimately, it all boils down to having effective topical and/or oral medications which your good dermatologist can recommend and good patient compliance with the medications. Even without having acne surgery patients will get clearer skin with just the medications.  So why do dermatologists still do acne surgery when pimples can disappear even with medications?  There are two reasons why:      1.  To increase patient compliance - it usually takes ...
