New Mohs College Leader Spells Out Ambitious Agenda for His Term

Milwaukee, Wisconsin (PRWEB) June 06, 2013

Dr. Scott W. Fosko, president of the American College of Mohs Surgery (http://www.skincancermohssurgery.org), says cost-effective, safe, outpatient treatment of complex skin cancers is one of the unique benefits fellowship-trained Mohs surgeons provide.

Dr. Fosko, professor and chairman at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine's Department of Dermatology, says delivering high-quality, cost-effective, safe and outcome-driven care to the increasing number of patients needing skin cancer treatment represents a critical challenge for medical providers.

"The Mohs College is well-positioned to provide the leadership and guidance in this area within the medical community, says Dr. Fosko.

Dr. Fosko says he intends to focus on education, marketing and healthcare reform during his term as president, which extends to 2014. He is joined on the ACMS executive board by Dr. J. Ramsey Mellette, Jr., vice president; Dr. John G. Albertini, secretary/treasurer; and Dr. Marc D. Brown, immediate-past president.

"As a College, we must educate the public, our medical and surgical colleagues, our legislators, and insurance carriers about the importance of fellowship-trained Mohs surgeons and what they contribute to our skin cancer patients' care," he says. "We need to effectively engage and assist the various components of our healthcare system with the many challenges we all must face. The College is well-positioned to do just that."

The value of fellowship-trained Mohs surgeons is reflected in the rigorous requirements a physician must meet before gaining membership to the College.

Mohs College members complete at least one additional year of training at an approved Mohs training center, where they are taught by experienced surgeons and complete a minimum of 500 Mohs skin cancer surgery cases. Fellowships are highly competitive and physicians are admitted to the training program only after a stringent review and selection process upon completion of a Dermatology residency.

Only physicians who have completed the Mohs College fellowship are members of ACMS, which was founded by Dr. Frederic Mohs, who first developed the surgery in the 1930s. Advances in microscopic evaluation and guided cancer tissue removal has led Mohs surgery to achieve the highest success rate of all treatments for many skin cancers. Dr. Fosko says the skills demonstrated by Mohs College members parallel their leadership capabilities.

Our talent as an organization is deep and broad," he says. "Cutaneous oncology and reconstruction will remain a constant focus, with future emphasis in advances in laboratory techniques, patient safety, quality assurance and outcome driven measures. I look forward to the Colleges future growth, development and continued leadership in organized medicine.

BPH Drugs Can Harm Mens Health In Long Term So, By Choosing Dr. Allens Device, Medication and Its Side Effects Can Be Avoided, States Fine Treatment

London, UK (PRWEB) June 07, 2013

Fine Treatment recommends Dr. Allens Device for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) as it helps to protect men from the problems caused by treating this condition with potentially harmful medications. Dr. Allens Device enables an effective natural therapy free from any side effects. Propecia sales down; lawsuits continue; media cover side effects article explains that hundreds of Propecia lawsuits [are] filed by men (and some spouses) who have suffered enduring erectile problems and related side effects since using the drug.

This new article by Steve Thomas, of June 03, 2013 says, before the loss of market exclusivity became an issue, Merck saw its Propecia sales stagnate at $ 447 million in 2010 and 2011 and then decline to $ 424 million in 2012. As the Propecia patent has approached its October 2013 sunset, one generic competitor already has been allowed into the market in January and another will get the green light in July. Propecia sales in the first quarter of 2013 were down 37% to $ 68 million compared to the same period in 2012.

In the early 1990s, finasteride, a 4-aza steroid compound and type 2 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, was shown to profoundly affect the size of the prostate gland in animals, by George et all, in the journal Proceeding of National Academy of Sciences U S A., 1991.

Later, Proscar (finasteride 5 mg) was approved by FDA in 1992 and is suggested for the treatment of bothersome symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (also referred to as BPH or an enlarged prostate). Furthermore, Propecia (finasteride 1 mg) was approved by FDA in 1997 for the use in males only and is indicated for the treatment of male pattern hair loss.

As prostate enlargement is viewed as a normal ageing-related condition, there is no urgency for a man to opt for a long-term intake of BPH drugs the moment he experiences the first symptoms of urinary dysfunction. Medications can now be replaced with the Thermobalancing therapy. Watch a video testimonial recorded by the Oxford Innovation Centre that demonstrates how to use Dr. Allen's Device and its benefits: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5xidswhxJM.

Prostate enlargement is very common. Some men tolerate symptoms for years but a third of men will ultimately seek treatment, says Dr. Simon Allen. Dr. Allens therapeutic device increases blood circulation in the enlarged prostate naturally helping to cleanse the prostate gland and reduce its volume.

hCGTreatments / Diet Doc hCG Diets & Weight Loss Plans Announce hCG Diet Plans Capable of Lowering Long Term Healthcare Costs

Trenton, NJ (PRWEB) April 15, 2013

Diet Doc, the nation's leader in hCG diet plans, announced its new, lower priced medically-designed and supervised weight loss plans. As new studies emerge, associating current weight loss with lower long term healthcare costs, Diet Doc reveals a prescription hCG diet capable of producing fast weight loss, helping patients avoid a future burdened with increasing healthcare costs. Diet Doc employs physicians, nutritionists, nurses, and weight loss coaches, all with a single goal in mind; to help patients lose weight safely and quickly, avoiding increased long term medical costs. A new study reveals that patients who underwent bariatric surgeries did not experience any long term cost benefits from reduced medical treatment. Unlike expansive and hazardous bariatric surgery, the hCG diet produces fast results without invasive procedures or complications.

According to the study conducted by Jonathan Weiner from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, people who had bariatric surgery to lose weight experienced no decrease in long term healthcare costs, a benefit that is often associated with bariatric surgery. Weiner and his colleagues conducted a meta-study of over 30,000 insurance claims, all of which were filed by those who underwent bariatric surgery between 2002 and 2008. These results were then compared to people with similar health problems, yet who did not get bariatric surgery. The results were that those who underwent bariatric surgery had higher upfront healthcare costs, as the surgery costs an average of $ 29,500 as well as had no long term reduction in healthcare costs when compared to the people who hadnt gotten the surgery. Reuters reports that "In each of the six years after that, health care costs were either the same among people who had or hadn't had surgery or slightly higher in the bariatric surgery group, according to findings published Wednesday in JAMA Surgery. Average annual claims ranged between $ 8,700 and $ 9,900 per patient."

In an effort to stave off long term healthcare costs for every patient, Diet Doc has created the most sophisticated, medically-supervised weight loss plan available. Diet Doc serves Americans across the country via the Telemedicine system, and offers their superior hCG diet plans with the ease of a telephone call. In-house surveys reveal that the average Diet Doc patient spends a fraction of what they would have on bariatric surgery, and experiences less long term healthcare costs as a result of the effective weight loss. Diet Doc offers the only updated version of the hCG diet plan, and with their volume of satisfied patients, is able to offer weight loss for less than competitors charge for an inferior product. President of Diet Doc, Robert Hoffman states that "Traditional healthcare rewards physicians for treating many patients per hour. Ours is not the type of care that a doctor or healthcare professional can do within 15 minutes, Diet Doc offers unlimited medical and professional care without additional charges." Write continues "We incorporate exhaustive clinical consultations to try and anticipate how each patient's body will react to losing weight rapidly, and addressing this at the beginning of the diet is what sets us apart and why people can expect these diet plans to work verses any prior failures."

Currently, Diet Doc leads the pack in medical weight loss, providing clinical support to all patients and working collectively to guide each patient towards a lifetime of great health. What makes their diet plans unique is the individualized treatment that each client receives, from unlimited physician consultations to individualized nutrition plans created from the patient's own factors such as health, age, and long term goals. With all-inclusive services, prescription specialty medications, and a clinically superior diet plans, clients can expect to lose 7 to 10 pounds per week. Once doctors are convinced that these medications can produce great results for the patient, a prescription is written and medication dispensed.

hCGTreatments / Diet Doc hCG Diets & Weight Loss Plans Debunk Fast Weight Loss Myths With Improved hCG Diet Plans and Proper Long Term Guidance

Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) April 24, 2013

Every day, the American search for easy and effective answers on how to lose weight fast, or diet plans to help create a change in unhealthy lifestyles continues; often fruitlessly. Myths such as the tall tale that chewing gum will decrease cravings and appetite, leading to fast weight loss, are tried and continuously come up short. A recent study considered the lack of evidence supporting the gum-chewing claim and tackled the question of whether chewing gum has a significant effect on appetite and food intake. Diet Doc offers patients an end to these questions and constant myth testing by providing modernized and effecting hCG diet plans nationwide, making customized and fast weight loss available for all Americans. Diet Doc hCG diet plans combine the use of a naturally occurring hormone with physician supported diet plans resulting in patients learning how to lose weight, reaching fast weight loss goals and achieving a complete, long-term lifestyle change.

In the study published in the April 2013 edition of the scientific journal, Eating Behaviors, it was determined that chewing gum neither helps people with fast weight loss nor decreases their appetite or cravings. In fact, the study showed that it is possible that chewing gum may deter consumption of healthy fruits and increase cravings for unhealthy foods such as candy and cookies. To test the hypothesis that chewing gum reduces hunger and food intake, researchers conducted two experiments over a three-week period. The first experiment demonstrated that chewing gum had no influence on food intake but did reduce subjects attraction to fruits, while the second experiment showed no significant effect on total food intake. Researchers concluded that although people consider gum chewing as a potential fast weight loss tool, there is no evidence to support that claim. Diet Docs hCG diet plans offer answers for those looking to discover how to lose weight and how to achieve a healthy lifestyle without being subject to harmful dieting myths.

Diet Doc uses a combination of the naturally safe and effective hCG hormone, and physician supported diet plans to help clients learn how to lose weight initially and learn how to change unhealthy living habits through safe, fast weight loss and calorie conscious eating for the future. The naturally occurring hCG hormone is produced during pregnancy to assure that a growing fetus receives adequate nutrition without attacking the mothers muscle or structural fat. A.T.W. Simeons, a scientist from the 1950s, discovered the hCG hormone while researching the effects of hCG on pregnant women and considering the hCG in conjunction with how to lose weight. Diet Doc hCG diet plans were developed using the research from the 1950s and modernizing it with todays science and technology resulting in fast weight loss for over 98% of Diet Doc clients. Diet Doc clients interested in how to lose weight will not only achieve initial, fast results, they will also consult with Diet Doc physicians, nutritionists and nurses throughout their diet plan to maintain weight loss, learn healthy eating habits and make lasting lifestyle changes for long-term weight maintenance.

The Surrey Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy reveals the top 3 long term motivators for successful weight loss hypnotherapy

Wallington, Surrey, UK (PRWEB UK) 25 May 2013

Women typically go on diets or health kicks 5 times a year and men twice a year. But the Surrey Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy says that their reasons for doing so are too short term which leads to only temporary weight loss and then a regain of all the weight lost and often more on top. This type of behaviour is what is generally described as Yo-Yo dieting.

By using hypnotherapy for weight loss this Yo-Yo dieting can be avoided. However, one of the first things that has to be adjusted is normally their motivation. For some people that is already in place and isnt needed. However, for the vast majority the motivation is what makes the difference between sustainable weight loss and return to Yo-Yo dieting.

In the report they disclose the top 3 motivators to successful weight loss hypnotherapy and what triggers the motivation in some clients. Other strong motivators exist such as a beach body for a summer holiday, weddings and other special events, but these are too short term and do not allow new behaviours to bed in successfully.

By using their weight loss hypnotherapy programme it not only helps people make the initial behavioural change but, as a rule, because the changes are made at a subconscious level, they tend to be longer lasting. This allows weight loss clients to get used to the new behaviours and after a while they become normal behaviours.

Paul White, the behavioural change specialist at the Surrey Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy and Chairman of the National Council for Hypnotherapy, said Motivation is the key aspect behind long lasting weight loss. The beach body is too short-term a goal, especially as it is all too common for people to report that they put back on all they lost and more whilst actually on holiday, which means they lose all the advances they have made in just a couple of weeks. This is very de-motivating and does not bode well for the coming months and years.

Contrast that with a recent client that we had been working with for a while to change behaviours that said Back from holiday, first thing I did was jump on the scales (and no they didn't break!!). Surprisingly lost 2lb, not sure how but I'm not complaining!! This sort of statement is not unusual when clients use our hypnotherapy for weight loss programme. Because the change is in their thought processes and mental responses and this causes changes in their behaviours.

By replacing negative behaviours with positive ones, clients start to see changes with eating habits and improvements in feelings of well being. They will then not only feel better about the food they consume, but also begin to feel happier.

At the Surrey Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy in Surrey they seek to change their clients relationship with food. The hypnotherapist will work with the client to change the way they view food, even the way they think about food, so the client eats to live, rather than lives to eat. By doing so they remove the guilt, reduce consumption and feel happier around food.

Paul White has been Chairman of the National Council for Hypnotherapy for five years. He has been a Director of The Surrey Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy for 11 years. He has a special interest in weight control and problem behaviours (addictions).
