The results of a study on the high concentration performance-stabilized Hypochlorous Acid (HOCI) developed by Sonoma Pharmaceuticals for treating acne vulgaris was presented along with earlier Sonoma’s HOCI studies for acne by the lead researcher Mark Steven Nestor, M.D., Ph.D., Director of the Center for Clinical and Cosmetic Research, Aventura Florida and Voluntary Associate Professor in the Departments of Dermatology and Cutaneous Surgery and the Division of Plastic Surgery at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in Miami, Florida. Dr. Nestor said, “This study truly demonstrates that both of these new HOCl products show significant efficacy in the treatment of mild-to-moderate acne. And in doing so, both the gel and the solution were extremely well tolerated. Additionally, based on the safety profile of HOCl, I have no problem recommending HOCl topical treatment to young children or women who are pregnant or trying to get pregnant.” Adding, “ ...
The skin rejuvenation procedures like ‘Vampire facial’ are conducted by cosmetologists in order to regenerate the damaged part of the patient’s skin, which will make you look younger. In many regions, even a spa offers this service. But is it really safe? Is there any risk behind it? In Vampire facial, the platelets are extracted from the client’s blood and re-injected back into the face via micro-needling method. Though this procedure seems to be effective, no research study claims that it has a long-lasting effect. The risk is found especially in handling the blood. When a client reported that she got affected by an unspecified disease following the Vampire facial procedure, the health officials from the New Mexico Department of Health, along with representatives of the New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department and the Barbers and Cosmetologists Board, visited the spa located in Albuquerque, from where she had gone through ...
Nearly 70% females develop uterine fibroids after menopause. This fibroid growth is quite common among the women of reproductive age. The common symptoms of fibroid include abdominal discomfort and bowel issues. There is a 53-year-old woman from Singapore who avoided these symptoms, which lead to the overgrowth of fibroid structure for around 26-inches. It occupied the entire abdominal and pelvic cavity, which got extended to the bottom of her breastbone. Hence she was unable to breathe, which led to hospitalization. Dr. Ph Ting Lim, an OB-GYN resident from KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Singapore diagnosed her condition and decided to perform a complete hysterectomy to remove the 61-pound fibroid. Then, a plastic surgery was performed to reconstruct her thinned abdominal wall. It was still unclear regarding the duration of fibroid growth in the patient’s body. Since she was scared of surgery, she might have ignored her symptoms and never ...
Stress in the workplace is a common point of concern in today’s world. A new survey had reported that nearly half of the British employees are experiencing severe mental health issues in their present job. Only half of them were found to discuss the issues with their employers. Even a Deloitte study in 2017 showed that mental health issues cost UK employers between £33 billion and £42 billion in every year. Considering the seriousness of this issue, Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, would be launching a website to improve the employee’s mental health. The project name ‘Mental Health at Work’ was disclosed at an event in Bristol on 11th September 2018. This site offers blogs, podcasts and documents for the users to gain information. This website launch follows the past work for the mental health campaign named Heads Together in 2016, headed by Prince William, Kate and Prince Harry. ...
The Jak2/Stat5 genetic pathway which controls the natural development of mammary glands and also breast cancer cells is regulated by the enzyme cyclophilin A (CypA), find VCU Massey Cancer Center researchers headed by Charles Clevenger, M.D., Ph.D., which could be a new target for breast cancer therapies. “This research identifies cyclophilin A as a relevant target for therapeutic intervention in breast cancer. Because FDA-approved drugs are available to inhibit the action of CypA, translation of these findings to breast cancer patients should be rapid,” said Clevenger, interim associate director for basic research, member of the Cancer Cell Signaling research program and Carolyn Wingate Endowed Chair in Cancer Research at VCU Massey Cancer Center. “No study to date had previously examined the loss of CypA function during mammary development and the formation of cancer.” Clevenger and his associates could suppress the initiation of the Stat5 pathway in mouse models having ER-positive ...

Boston Scientific’s ACURATE neo2 prosthetic aortic valve system witnessed an “a high procedural success rate and a low rate of paravalvular aortic regurgitation (leakage of blood near the valve),” after being implanted for a month in a clinical study. The company is publicizing the findings of the study before it is made available in the market. It was observed that 97% of individuals showed no or little paravalvular aortic regurgitation and the positioning of the implant was quick and successful without any significant complications in the same percentage of patients registered in the ACURATE neo2 CE-Mark Study. Moreover, the all-cause mortality rate in the study was found to be 3.3% and a disabling stroke was reported in 1.7% of the patients. Severe Paravalvular leak (PVL) was reported in none while mild or lesser PVL was noted in about 97% of patients and 3% reported moderate PVL. Data pertaining to the implanting ...
Actifuse Flow, Baxter International’s new synthetic bone graft surrogate from its osteobiologics surgery series, wins FDA approval for implementation in orthopedic surgeries. In order to reach tine bony cracks and gaps of the skeletal structure, the new bone graft alternative is designed to reach these exact cranny locations. It is delivered via a syringe already containing it to speed-up bone growth. No preparatory procedure or mixing is needed to use this bone graft substitute and it maintains its fluid consistency during the surgery. The surgical products manufacturer’s Actifuse Bone Graft Alternative constituting Actifuse Flow implements the silicate-substituted technology for bone formation via raised levels of silicon. It becomes an ideal candidate for minimally invasive surgical procedures as the syringe facilitates the start and stop of flow to deliver the precise amount of substance. This also enables it to compact small done deformities as well as the intricate disorder of bone ...
The Desert Research Institute (DRI) and the University of Nevada, Reno researchers’ new pilot study reveals that a vaping (e-cigarette use) episode exposes the user’s respiratory pathway to a considerable quantity of carcinogens like formaldehyde, which alarms everyone about the dangers of vaping. “Until now, the only research on the respiratory uptake of aldehydes during smoking has been done on conventional cigarette users,” said Vera Samburova, Ph.D., associate research professor in DRI’s Division of Atmospheric Sciences and lead author of the study. “Little is known about this process for e-cigarette use, and understanding the unique risks vaping poses to users is critical in determining toxicological significance.” The breath of 12 e-cigarette consumers before and post vaping were tested for measurement of existence of harmful chemicals. Samburova and her associate Khlystov designed a way to measure this during their study. The method enabled them to measure the quantity of aldehydes in ...
The RAS-45 acoustic respiration sensor, developed by Masimo, to function along with the Rainbow Acoustic Monitoring (RAM), was approved by the FDA for use in neonates and infant patients. A minimum weight of 22pounds/10 kgs of the baby was required earlier to be eligible for use of RAM sensors. This requirement is no longer necessary for the new sanction that enables a convenient monitoring of the rate of respiration in very young pediatric patients. This is possible because the maximum respiration rate in the sensor has been raised to 120 breaths per minute with an excellent precision between +/- breath every minute. The sensor can be stuck on to the child and it is fitted with a microphone mimicking device that spots respiration sounds from other background sounds. Its clarity enables pediatricians to listen to the breathing of the infant as if he/she is listening via a stethoscope. The sensor ...
