New FDA Proposed Tanning Bed Regulations Push For Improved Warnings During National Skin Cancer Awareness Month

San Diego, California (PRWEB) May 17, 2013

In a recent article published by the New York Times, new proposed regulations for tanning beds in the United States was examined. Expert dermatologist Sabrina Fabi, MD, believes the new regulations could be integral in raising awareness pertaining to the damaging effects of indoor tanning.

Tanning beds may seem like a great alternative to sunbathing, but the same harmful UV rays that are present in sunlight are also found in the lights of tanning beds. This is extremely dangerous for teenagers and adults and increases their likelihood of developing skin cancer, said board certified San Diego dermatologist Sabrina Fabi, MD.

The new FDA regulations that have been proposed would require labels to be affixed to tanning beds warning that use by minors should be restricted. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, 28 million Americans use tanning beds, and of that number, 2 million are under the age of 18. This regulation proposal would be a first step in the direction of restricting the use of tanning beds by minors. The AAD has also stated that the risk of developing melanoma increases by 75 percent for those who have been exposed to ultraviolet radiation from indoor tanning.

Individuals who use tanning beds thoughtlessly expose themselves to UV rays that can lead to precancerous lesions, and eventually, melanoma, one of the most deadly forms of skin cancer, said Dr. Mitchel Goldman, incoming President of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery.

At GBFG&F, there are many treatments that can be tailored to patients experiencing precancerous lesions and damage caused by excessive UV ray exposure. One of the most effective treatments available to those who suffer from sun-damaged skin is Photodynamic Therapy (PDT). PDT is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes Levulan or Metvixia, topical photosensitizing agents that are activated by light to create a photochemical reaction. PDT can accurately treat precancerous lesions and sun damage while not damaging the surrounding tissue. Fractionated resurfacing and Intense Pulsed Light are other laser treatments that can be used for sun-damaged skin. Both of these treatments are highly recommended by dermatologists world-wide.

When combatting damage caused by the sun, two of the most painless and safe procedures available at our practice are Photodynamic Therapy and Fractionated Laser Resurfacing in San Diego. Both procedures can be performed relatively quickly and each session can help to restore skin damage that has taken years to accumulate, said respected San Diego dermatologist Dr. Fabi.

Goldman, Butterwick, Fitzpatrick, Groff & Fabi: Cosmetic Laser Dermatology is a world-renowned aesthetic center in San Diego, California made up of five internationally distinguished skin care experts, including Mitchel P. Goldman, MD, Kimberly Butterwick, MD, Richard Fitzpatrick, MD, William Groff, DO, and Sabrina Fabi, MD. As highly acclaimed dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons who have contributed hundreds of medical papers to journals and medical textbooks as well as pioneered multiple key procedures, the services provided F are among the most technologically advanced to date. With more than 38 different lasers, the award winning San Diego dermatologists of GBFG&F are able to provide patients with the most comprehensive selection of skincare treatments in the United States.

The National Mesothelioma Law Firm of Baron and Budd Reports on a New Drug that Could Improve the Health of Mesothelioma Patients

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) December 17, 2012

The national mesothelioma law firm of Baron and Budd reports that a new experimental drug may help limit the negative side affects associated with mesothelioma treatment. Dr. Adrian Dobs, Professor of Medicine and Oncology and Vice Chair of Medicine at John Hopkins University headed the clinical trial for the drug, Enobosarm, and discovered that male and female cancer patients had significant improvement in muscle mass and power after taking the drug. The firm, dedicated to protecting the rights of mesothelioma patients, is always glad to support and raise awareness about advancements in mesothelioma treatment and care.

"This is another step forward in the medical battle against mesothelioma," said John Langdoc, mesothelioma lawyer at Baron and Budd. "Patients and caregivers need to be aware of these newer developments and we are proud to assist in the awareness process."

Currently, mesothelioma doctors typically use a multi-modal approach of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy treatment. The combination of treatments is quite aggressive, and can lead to adverse side affects such as nausea, vomiting, and weight loss. Researchers recently gave the experimental drug Enobosarm, to patients receiving these cancer treatments and reported a significant decrease in muscle loss.

In the Phase IIb clinical trial, Dr. Dobs led a randomized test with 159 subjects given either Enobosarm or a placebo for a total of 16 weeks. Enobosarm is a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM), a non-steroidal drug that produces the anabolic effect in bone and muscle without causing the negative prostate effects in men or hair growth in women that is associated with steroidal treatment.

According to Dr. Dobs, Phase III of the trial will assess the effects of a 3mg/day dosage of Enobosarm for the prevention and treatment of muscle wasting in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

The usage of a drug like Enobosarm could greatly aid in the health of mesothelioma patients when receiving radiation and chemotherapy treatments.

The national mesothelioma law firm of Baron and Budd has been dedicated to the development of mesothelioma research and treatment and is excited to report on the improvement in medications for mesothelioma patients. The firm is proud of its work with organizations like the National Comprehensive Cancer Network and Cure Media Group as well as several others, and it committed to relating any relevant information to the people affected by mesothelioma.

For more information about Enobosarm and the clinical trials at John Hopkins University Medical Center, read the more about the study in "Prevalence and Impact of Hypogonadism in Cancer Patients with Muscle Wasting in a Phase IIb Enobosarm Trial," published June 24, 2012.

K9s4COPs Goes National on NatGeo WILD

Houston, Texas (PRWEB) February 22, 2013

K9s4COPs, a Houston-based non-profit foundation, will be featured this Friday on National Geographic WILDs new hit show Alpha Dogs.

The series is based at Vohne Liche Kennels in Denver, Indiana. Kenny Licklider, the head alpha dog himself, says, theres no better protection than a well-trained dog.

The Friday episode will focus on K9s4COPs, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit started in 2010 by Houston social entrepreneur Kristi Schiller. The foundation provides highly trained and skilled K9s to law enforcement organizations and school districts around the nation. The group has gifted 33 K9s so far since gaining its non-profit status in March 2011 across 14 agencies in four different states.

Liz Lara Carreno, executive director of K9s4COPs, traveled to Indiana for the filming in June 2012, along with four different greater Houston area agencies who were given K9s by the foundation Aldine School District, Precinct 8 Constables Office, Harris County Sheriffs Department and Madisonville Police Department.

During the episode, Sgt. Jeff Covington, a canine handler from Madisonville, Texas, visits Vohne Liche Kennels to get his new K9, which has been purchased by K9s4COPs.

But when the guys at VLK discover this dog must be able to work in the water, it's up to trainers Bobby and Luther to get the dog ready, or VLK may lose all of K9s4COPs business. Meanwhile, the team works with Charlie, a police officer training to be a dog handler. Pleased with Charlie's progress during bite training, Kenny invites him to come along on a drug bust to gain some real-life experience.

VLK is the K9s4COPs' kennel of choice the staff there has trained police and military service dogs for more than 5,000 law enforcement and government agencies, including the National Security Agency, Pentagon Police, U.S. State Department, all military branches, and more than 500 civilian and police agencies. From bounty hunters who need a little extra protection to executives across the world, Vohne Liche Kennels is in the business of serious self-defense.

If a dog never gets a bite in his career, were happy. These dogs are primarily a deterrent. Theyre there to protect and to save lives.

Today, at the 600-acre kennel in Indiana, Licklider is surrounded by his military and law-enforcement trained staffa ragtag bunch of tattooed, motorcycle riding men: the perfect combination of Duck Dynasty and K-9 Cop. But dont let the long hair, big bellies, and rough exteriors fool you.

When a dog is matched to the right handler, Licklider says the combination is better than an alarm system or even a police officer for deterring crime. Plus, he says, A dog would give its life up for you.

Because the stakes are so high, VLK works with dogs for 8-12 weeks before selling them to handlers.

Click on the link below to see a preview of the show featuring K9s4COPs, Busted:

http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/wild/alpha-dogs/videos/scared-of-water/

The show will air on NatGeo WILD on FEBRUARY 22 at 9 p.m. EST.

In other K9s4COPs news, take a look at this video of expertly trained K9s sweeping security checkpoints for the recent NBA All-Star Game here in Houston. K9s4COPs has had a tremendous local impact by donating 23 K9s in the greater Houston area in the last two years.

We take care of our own first, says K9s4COPs executive director Liz Lara Carreno.[https://vimeo.com/59933827 __title__ ]

BalanceME Weight Loss Camps for Teens & Kids Support National Food Month

Asheville, NC (PRWEB) April 11, 2013

BalanceME's fitness and health weight loss camps for teens and kids join the nation in bringing awareness to National Food Month. While many view healthy food as diet food, BalanceME has created a nutrition and culinary plan that teaches kids, teens, and their parents that delicious food can be nutritious food.

In a classroom and demonstration setting, campers are taught portion sizes, taste profile, and healthy substitutions. Plus, campers gain culinary skills to understand what goes into their food and how to prepare simple meals at home.

At our weight loss camps for teens and kids, we help campers learn how their favorite foods can be prepared in healthier ways, commented John Gordon, Owner and CEO of BalanceME, Plus we expand their taste palette to include new foods they love that are healthier for their bodies.

As part of the BalanceME experience, seasoned chefs and nutritionists have designed a curriculum that shows teens the science of good nutrition, then train them on how to prepare healthier versions of the foods they already love by simpling changing the ingredients.

With this healthy, realistic plan, BalanceME campers had the highest reported weight loss of any weight loss camp for teens in 2012, with campers averaging 4.25 lbs lost per week.

Because kids face shame from peers and adults about their weight, campers at BalanceME often arrive with a negative, stressful relationship to food and feel powerless to change their food habits.

Having a good relationship with food means realizing that food is the body's fuel. It is important for campers to know that their mood, energy levels, and performance at school or in sports are all affected by what kind of food fuel they're consuming.

While it's great to try new things, it's also good to know that many of our favorites foods can be made in a healthy way, continued John Gordon, Thats what campers at our weight loss camps for teens and kids learn.

In honor of National Food Month, BalanceME is sharing some of their favorite recipes, proving that some of our nation's favorite foods can be healthy. Recipe can be found here: http://balanceme.com/health-camp-recipes/.

Families interested in learning more about BalanceME can contact John Gordon at (800) 975-0435 or visit BalanceME.com for more information.

Bella Reina Spa Showcases Ways to Take the Stress Out of Every Day Life During National Stress Awareness Month

Delray Beach, FL (PRWEB) April 18, 2013

Bella Reina Spa reveals some very simple spa treatments that will help with daily stress triggers. Being aware of stress is probably one of the biggest issues in dealing with stress-related illnesses and skin issues.

The skin, the body's largest organ, is greatly affected by long-term stress through the lack of cortisol, increased inflammation and depletion of hyaluronic acid. The combination of inflammation and cortisol leads to the breakdown of collagen and elastin resulting in fine lines and wrinkles. Minimizing stress will help the skin look younger, and the spa considers stress reduction a necessary part of anti-aging.

Simple treatments to take the stress out of life, include aromatherapy massage, 20-minute reflexology treatment, or a relaxing spa facial. A body spa treatment, like the Body Peel can assist with the dehydration of the skin and the loss of collagen. In addition, the spa recommends eating a low-glycemic diet to lower the inflammation in the body and taking the Skin Health which increases the hyaluronic acid in the skin.

Bella Reina Spa suggests a 30-minute spa treatment once a month to assist the body in coping with stress and the dangers of stress. Stress Awareness Month was created in 1992 by the Health Resource Network and has been celebrated every April since then. For more information on how to alleviate stress, call the spa at 561-404-7670.

About Bella Reina Spa:

Bella Reina Spa is the leading provider and definitive authority on beauty, wellness and spa treatments in the South Florida area.

The National Council for Hypnotherapy Responds to New Study Revealing Behaviour of Patients Who Have Suffered a Stroke or Heart Disease

(PRWEB UK) 25 April 2013

According to The Spec, more than 14 percent of patients fail to adopt any healthy habits after suffering a stroke or with heart disease. Many other patients do not adopt enough of a healthier lifestyle in order to avoid reoccurring illnesses and disease. The study looked at three main health lifestyle choices, avoiding or quitting smoking, consuming a healthy diet and taking regular physical exercise. The findings were made from 154,000 adults across 178 countries with varying incomes over a seven year period. Only 4 percent adopted all three healthy lifestyle choices.

It seems that changing old habits such as stopping smoking, taking regular exercise and adopting a healthy diet are requirements that are difficult to do. Hypnotherapy can be used as a complementary approach to breaking bad habits such as smoking and overeating.

The National Council for Hypnotherapy is one of the most established hypnotherapy directories in the UK, listing qualified and experienced hypnotherapists throughout the British Isles that can help clients with a range of issues including smoking, weight loss and anxiety. It is possible to use a hypnotist to help make major lifestyle choices such as quitting smoking or changing eating habits forever as a representative explained, The desire to quit needs to be present in order for hypnotherapy to work alongside it and in turn strengthen and reinforce the determination to quit smoking or change eating habits forever.
