Midtown Dentistry Combats Mouth Wounds During Radiation Treatment with New Medications

Houston, TX (PRWEB) April 15, 2013

With our aging population, more people receive radiation treatment and need private care for the side effects. Midtown Dentistry is part of a new wave of dentists offering private care for radiation complications and medications to help the patients through their journey. Dr. Penchas is using a new rinse Caphosol to treat patients with mouth sores and ulcers from radiation. The oral health in cancer therapy guide is the new hallmark for such therapy. It is published by the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas.

Radiation is a common treatment for tumors in the head and neck. It is used alone or in combination with surgery and chemotherapy. Generally the radiation is given once a day five days per week. Radiation has side effects that can injure and hurt the person receiving the radiation.

Side Effects of Radiation:

Mucositis - the skin of the mouth is inflamed and ulcers are common.

Hypogeusia - taste loss that can be permanent

Xerostomia - radiation of the salivery glands results in low to no saliva and the resulting tooth decay

Osteoradionecrosis- poor bone healing and serious bone destruction - this is a permanent side effect

Trismus - contraction of the muscles and inability to open the mouth

Treatment of Side Effects:

Up until the last few years, most of the treatment of radiation side effects in the mouth has been provided by the radiation departments. With the growth in numbers of patients and complications, it has been harder for these providers to deal with the oral side effects. Dentists with special training in dental oncology such as Midtown Dentistry in Houston, Texas are picking up the treatment of these needs.

Explains Dr. Penchas - a Dental Oncologist: "Oncologists don't have the manpower or time to deal with this growing problem - and they are glad to refer their patients to a private setting where they can have this dealt with"

New Medication for Radiation Side Effects:

There are several new medications used to treat the inflammation and ulcers in the mouth. One of the new rinses recommended by Dr. Penchas is Caphosol. " This prescription mouth rinse keeps the mineral balance in the mouth - reducing infection and pain. We are seeing wonderful results"

Los Angeles Thyroid Surgeon Discusses New Approach To Minimize Neck Scarring During A Partial Or Full Thyroidectomy

Beverly Hills, CA (PRWEB) May 09, 2013

World-renowned thyroid surgeon Dr. Babak Larian, director of the CENTER for Advanced Head & Neck Surgery in Los Angeles, knows that patients are commonly concerned with not only undergoing a procedure to remove a cancerous thyroid gland, but also the after effects and scarring that are associated with the surgery. To ensure optimal patient satisfaction, Dr. Larian is introducing a new technique to minimize scarring that can occur on the neck after thyroid removal. According to Dr. Larian, the scarring that his patients experience as a result of a minimally invasive thyroidectomy is extremely nominal and in some cases, non-existent.

Whenever I perform a minimally invasive thyroidectomy for a patient, Im not only concerned with successfully removing their tumor, but Im also very conscious of leaving them with the least noticeable scar possible, said world-renowned thyroid surgeon Dr. Larian. This is a big area of concern for almost every patient.

To reduce scarring after head and neck surgery, expert California thyroid surgeon Dr. Larian trims away a tiny area of excess skin outlining the incision site once the thyroid gland or tumor has been removed but before closing the opening. After years of performing the routine procedure for hundreds of patients, Dr. Larian believes that one of the main culprits of scarring after thyroid surgery is due to the amount of trauma that the skin experiences at the incision site.

Before I close an incision for a patient after thyroid surgery, I cut away a very small amount of skin near the opening. Because this allows me to suture together new skin that hasnt experienced any pulling, poking, or trauma for an extended period of time, the scar is greatly reduced and the incision heals much better, said expert thyroid surgeon in California Dr. Larian.

Dr. Babak Larian is a highly regarded head & neck surgeon who places an extreme emphasis on providing his patients with the best treatments available and has great experience with minimally invasive thyroid and parathyroid procedures. Upon completion of his medical degree at the prestigious University of CaliforniaIrvine Medical School, Dr. Larian completed a six-year residency program in otolaryngology at UCLA. Dr. Larian currently holds the acclaimed position of Chief of Head & Neck Surgery at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.

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.

Entertainment Industries Councils Center for Skin Cancer Prevention Encourages Skin-Safe Practices During Sun Safety Week

Reston, VA (PRWEB) June 05, 2013

The mercury is beginning to rise across the nation, signaling the long-awaited start of summer. Pools, amusement parks, golf courses and beaches will soon become havens for sun exposure, increasing pubic risk of potential life-long dangers including skin cancer. The Center for Skin Cancer Prevention of the Entertainment Industries Councils Entertainment & Media Communication Institute is sponsoring National Sun Safety Week through this Saturday, June 8th. The week is designed to encourage people to take control of their health by protecting skin and eyes.

The Center for Skin Cancer Prevention, formerly known as the Sun Safety Alliance, provides detailed sun safety resources, activities and information for all ages, demographics, and outdoor enthusiasts. While sun safety should be practiced 12 months a year, we spotlight the summer months when outdoor sports and the desire to tan elevate the dangers of skin cancer for young people. Our goal is to inform every person, through the power of mass media, of the dangers of excessive sun exposure, said Brian Dyak, President and CEO, Entertainment Industries Council, Inc. (EIC).

This week represents eight years since Congress first recognized the importance of sun safety and the need for school-based sun safety education programs. In a resolution by the 109th Congress, all Americans were encouraged to protect themselves and their children from the dangers of excessive sun exposure and to support the goals and ideas of National Sun Safety Week.

Suggestions for being Sun Safe:

Just one blistering sunburn can double a childs risk of developing skin cancer later in life, so make sure to protect your childrens skin and teach them healthy habits.

Skin protection is important even on a cloudy day. Use SPF 30+ on all exposed skin, and remember to reapply every two hours. Make sure that your sunscreen protects against the entire UV spectrum, including both UVA and UVB rays. Dont forget areas such as your ears and the tops of your feet; they can burn, too.

Donning a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses will protect your familys eyes and face. Seek shade during the hours of 10 AM 4 PM, when the sun is strongest. Remember that water, sand, and concrete reflect the sun, making its rays even stronger.

During extreme heat, check on elderly friends, family, and neighbors, and remind them to remain indoors and stay hydrated. Drinking plenty of water is also especially important when spending time in the sun.

Tanning beds are just as dangerous as the sun. Join the healthy skin movement, and teach your family that fair skin is beautiful and healthy.

Dog Help Network - Preventing Mange in Dogs During the Winter Season

(PRWEB) November 30, 2012

The months are turning colder, and with the colder weather its always a good idea for owners to be monitoring their dogs health. One health problem in specific that is important to be watching out for is mange in dogs. Mange is a problem often occurring in dogs which consists of rashes on their skin caused by mites, and frequent itching of those rashes. While continuing to take furry friends to the outdoor parks, it's good to be aware of how the cold weather and interaction with other dogs may be affecting them. Mites continue to live throughout the winter months and therefore continue to infect dogs. It is important to be incredibly careful while taking dogs outside if they have already contracted mange. Mange causes a loss of hair and animals may die or experience incredible discomfort from the cold due to the loss of their insulating layer of fur.

While it's commonly known that dog mange is caused by a wide variety of mites, it is crucial to know exactly what to look for and what the symptoms and signs of mange are. Dogs generally contract mites from an unclean, infested area or from other infected animals. Mange can be become very serious if left untreated and can spiral out of control. Dogs can tend to get a bit more scruffy in winter months due to the increasing amount of mud or puddles. However, there is a significant difference between unclean, scruffy fur, and fur that is plagued with mange. Symptoms such as hair loss, itching, irritation and scabs on the skin, all attribute to mange. While those symptoms are the most common, there are also more uncommon symptoms to be looking out for. Uncommon symptoms may consist of a fever, lethargy, and weight loss.

If dog owners believe that their dog has contracted mange it's critical to get treatment for them right away. The cold weather makes it increasingly difficult to deal with, as it may further dry out the dogs skin and cause more itching. It is important to contact a veterinarian immediately to begin a treatment plan specifically designed for the dogs infection. Dog mange treatment can often be a difficult task, as missing one small dosage of medication or the incompletion of treatment may lead to a re-infestation very quickly. It is also important to note that any animal that has come in contact with an infected dog must also be treated for mange, even if no symptoms are present. Those who have an outdoor dog or frequent the dog parks, must be sure to check their dogs for symptoms of mange regularly. It is best to identify and treat mange as soon as possible.

Mange in dogs is not easily treated with medicated shampoos, topical ointments and dips. The use of medicated ointments or dips may take between four to six weeks before the infection is resolved. Treatment plans may vary, as they depend on the type of mange the dog has contracted. If a dog is prescribed a medicated dip or topical ointment, the hair should be clipped as short as possible to ensure the product comes in contact with the skin. This further loss of hair, is also another reason why the animal may become increasingly sensitive to the winter air. Once a dog has contracted mange it is best to keep their skin protected and out of the harsh outdoor climate.

It is always important to maintain cleanliness within the home in order to prevent the contracting, or spreading of mange. This includes cleaning a dogs bedding and blankets, vacuuming and shampooing the carpets, as well as focusing on areas the dog plays and sleeps. These are all effective traits in ridding a home of mites and creating a comfortable living place for a dog. Mange can also be prevented by feeding the dog foods and vitamins rich with anti-oxidants. This will improve the dogs immune system, and will help fight off mites before they have a chance to burrow into a dogs skin.

Once again, it is critical to be maintaining pets cleanliness, especially within the winter months, as they are more often coming in contact with dirt and other dogs. Continuing to be aware of a dogs health and the animals that they are coming in contact with, is beneficial to both the owner and the dog. Keeping these facts in mind will help pets stay safe this winter and avoid major problems for the owners as well! For more information visit http://www.doghelpnetwork.com/mange-in-dogs/.

Seniors Guide Encourages Families to Take Notice of Senior Health Issues During Holidays

Richmond, VA (PRWEB) December 14, 2012

While getting together and visiting with family over the 2012 - 2013 holiday season, Seniors Guide Magazine and http://www.SeniorsGuideOnline.com suggest taking notice of the health and well being of aging family members.

As we see our elderly loved ones over the holidays, we may notice certain changes that require some attention, says Katharine Ross, Director of Publishing for Seniors Guide.

The changes noticed in loved ones ages 65+ may require they receive Home Health Care, aging in place Home Modifications or a relocation in housing to a Retirement Community in the upcoming early months of 2013.

Decline in mobility, hygiene and behavioral skills can all be clues that help is needed, says Ross.

In the event of mobility issues and loss of coordination, seniors should look into modifying their homes to age with them. Some popular modifications to the home include grab bars, walk in bathtubs, wheelchair ramps and chair lifts. Widening doorways and lowering counters will also prevent accidents from happening in the home for aging residents. An industry term for this process of home modification for seniors is also known as, universal design. For more ideas and resources for the home, contact your local specialty builder, or find senior mobility products at SeniorProductsServices.com.

Changes in hygiene and appearance can also be key indicators that an aging parent or loved one needs help. Sudden weight loss, weight gain and poorly maintained hair or nails are a sign that a senior may need additional assistance taking care of daily grooming and dietary tasks.

Certified Pet Groomer and CEO of Averys Pet Styling Salon & Boutique Offers Tips to Keep Pets Safe and Healthy During Harsh Winter Weather

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (PRWEB) January 15, 2013

In order to diminish the effects of the winter weather, Certified Pet Groomer and CEO of Averys Pet Styling Salon and Boutique, Taria Avery, suggests 3 basic tips for pet parents to get started with to help keep their fur-kids healthy and happy during the winter season.

1.) Brush or Comb Your Pet 2-3 Times a Week

Keeping your pets coat clear of knots and matts is as important as maintaining monthly baths. Using a brush is fine, but if your pet has long curly hair be sure to use a comb and take it all the way down to the skin. For some double coated dogs, excess oils can build up in their skin and may cause dry patches that may eventually contribute to hot spots if pet parents do not pay attention to their pets skincare regimen. On a double-coated dog, use a brush to remove the excess undercoat and to facilitate proper air circulation to the skin.

Cats require grooming too. Many cat owners believe their cats do a good enough job keeping clean, but they too need a thorough combing to help keep their skin and coat healthy.

2.) Set Aside 15 Minutes for Essential Care

In addition to brushing or combing, essential care includes clipping nails, brushing teeth, and cleaning out pets ears. This should be done about 1-3 times a week depending on your fur-kids specific needs. During the winter season, grooming nuances tend to get put off, but to keep pesky infections at bay it is critical to maintain essential care.

3.) Maintain Exercise Habits

Dont let the blistering winter elements stop pets from getting the exercise they need. Pet parents can create in-house solutions to make sure their pets get the required exercise. For example, allowing pets to walk on treadmills is a great way to keep pets fit. But be sure to keep the treadmill on low speed, and discuss it with your Veterinarian before putting your pet on any exercising machine.

Avery understands pet grooming is just as important during the winter months as it is during the warmer seasons. Bitter cold conditions can have a harmful effect on a pets skin, coat and paw pads if not properly maintained. Unfortunately, pet parents may be tempted to skip out on winter grooming sessions assuming that allowing their pets fur to grow full is the best protection from intense winds and cold weather.

Lastly Avery says try to stick as closely to their normal grooming routine as possible. Make sure your fur-kid has access to fresh and clean water at all times, keep a space heater close by to provide additional warmth in the house if appropriate. As the cold and snow set in, continue booking your regular grooming sessions, but use these tips to protect your fur-kid and supplement your existing maintenance schedule with your dog groomer or cat groomer.

iDreamofU Shares 10 Actions to Take and 6 Reactions to Expect During a First Romantic Encounter

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) January 31, 2013

Dream Buzz, the blog for social dating site iDreamofU (IDOU), offers dating insights to help singles find the person of their dreams. The most recent blog,See Someone You Want to Meet? Now What?, shares 10 considerations one needs to make when approaching and conversing and then 6 signs of positive reception.

Once a single person sees a person he or she would like to meet, the act of meeting can present a challenge. Recommendations on how one approaches and then talks to a romantic interest are presented.

When approaching a person of interest, it is more about how the individual approaching appears physically. Body language will demonstrate confidence. Posture where the head is up and a person is standing tall with shoulders back sets the individual approaching up for positive interaction.

After the approach, the individual with interest is ready to converse. Again, there are considerations to make for a positive outcome. Humor helps to keep communications light and fun and creates a sense of connection. People are often attracted to happy, funny individuals. When someone enters a room laughing, others are naturally drawn to that person and this can be helpful in creating a bond.

Now that the approach and conversation have occurred, is the interest reciprocated? If the person who has been approached isnt paying attention to anyone or anything else, theres a connection. Metaphorically, the person approaching has become the only one in the room.

When single people claim difficulty in approaching new people, IDOUs recommendation is to more carefully plan the approach and conversation. For ideas on how to approach, converse and recognize interest, read the entire blog See Someone You Want to Meet? Now What?

About IDOU

Online social dating site iDreamofU (IDOU) members can visually create a near-lifelike image of the person they would like to meet (Dream image). The IDOU software then matches the Dream image, along with responses to the traditional demographic and relationship questions, to members on the site.

IDOU is a newer entrant into the free online dating market; a market that is estimated to be in excess of $ 1 billion. The core differentiating factor between IDOU and all other dating sites is that an IDOU site member builds a visual version of the person he or she would like to meet by selecting an ethnicity, a preferred facial structure along with eye, nose, mouth and hair shapes. Since visual attributes are only part of a members created profile, responses to the more standard demographic and relationship questions also play a significant role in the matching algorithm.

There is also a non-dating component to the site. Anyone visiting the site can create a persons image just to experience the site.

Launched in April, 2012, IDOU provides an innovative, game-like, and first-in class approach to online social dating for 18-50 year olds in the United States. All services on IDOU are currently free. IDOU will focus on the use of its website and mobile application, as well as other planned applications, to create an online and social dating market niche.

Online Beauty Supply Store NewVo Beauty Supports Healthy Ways to Care for Skin and Hair During the Summer Months

Bohemia, NY (PRWEB) May 23, 2013

On May 23, following an article discussing the best ways to care for hair and skin during the summer months, NewVo Beauty commends efforts to promote healthy sun protection beauty regimes.

According to an article published by The Pendulum, it is important to consider using sunscreen before using tanning oil in the sun. It only takes one sunburn to nearly double the risk for developing deadly forms of skin cancer.

Despite an individuals skin tone, everyone is susceptible to the suns powerful rays. The article states that even when people are fully clothed, there is still a possibility of getting sunburned. NewVo Beauty representative Sara Greenstone recommends using a daily facial moisturizer with SPF. Opt for a moisturizer that has an SPF level of 15 or above. What most people dont realize is that sunscreen is also important year round. You can get sunburned in any season. A daily product that includes an SPF ensures that you are always protected.

The sun doesnt only affect your skin; it can burn your hair too. UV rays can make hair brittle in the summer months. The article suggests using a shampoo or conditioner that includes an SPF. A hair serum with the same ingredients can also work just as well.

Many hair care lines are beginning to include SPF in their products, says Greenstone. With the summer approaching, its important to remember sun safety. Sun protection products for your hair and skin can easily be found at a beauty supply store. Before you dive into beach season, make sure you stock up on products that will make a difference in keeping your skin and hair healthy.

NewVo Beauty sells over 5,000 professional beauty salon products. Committed to providing quality, hard-to-find premium products and great service, NewVo Beauty offers high-demand salon merchandise at affordable prices.
