Propecia Update |
 |
|
Researchers
re-assess side
effects of hair
loss treatment.
Men who take
Propecia for
hair loss
experience
minimal effects
on sexual
function,
Italian
researchers
report.
In clinical
trials, up to
4.4 per cent of
men treated with
the drug
reported sexual
side effects.
However, in
the current
study no sexual
side effects
were observed.

Mouse model
gives insight to
human hair loss |
 |
|
A progressive
skin disease
causing hair
loss in adult
humans was
identified in
laboratory mice,
providing a
genetic tool to
study the
disease known as
alopecia areata
(AA).
"Our mouse
model has proven
to be very
useful as a
preclinical
model to test
new treatments
for alopecia
areata before
being used in
humans," states
lead researcher,
John P.
Sundberg,
D.V.M., Ph.D.,
of The Jackson
Laboratory inBar
Harbor, Maine.
The study
further provided
the opportunity
to use newly
available gene
array technology
to study AA's
molecular
mechanisms.
In this
5-year study,
published in the
Journal of
Investigative
Dermatology,
researchers
identified a
virtually
identical mouse
model for human
adult onset AA
and were able to
reproduce the
disease for
exploring
treatments. Data
revealed that
the disease has
a complicated
genetic basis
that involves 4
or more genes.
These genes
include those
involved in
susceptibility
to the disease
and genes that
regulate
pigmentation of
the skin and
hair.

Hair cloning
again |
 |
|
Nov. 4, 2004 --
Balding men and
women take note.
Hair cloning --
the next hair
restoration
remedy -- is on
the way.
OK, it's not
exactly cloning,
although that's
what it's come
to be called.
Researchers
working to
perfect the new
technique prefer
the term "hair
multiplication."
And no, it's
not ready for
prime time. Not
yet, says Ken
Washenik, MD,
PhD. Washenik is
medical director
for Bosley, the
giant hair
restoration
company that's
one of several
firms racing to
bring hair
multiplication
to market. He's
also clinical
assistant
professor of
dermatology at
New York
University
Medical Center.

Food Helps
Reduce Hair Loss |
 |
|
Hair loss is
common in cancer
patients. We
constantly are
reminded of this
devasting side
effect when we
see pictures of
hundreds of
children with
bald heads who
have been
treated with
chemotherapy.
In addition
to this side
effect, reports
show that 25-50
percent of
hospital cancer
patients suffer
from Protein
Calorie
Malnutrition and
only 1/3 of them
survive five
years. To help
prevent these
side effects,
many doctors are
recommending to
their patients a
food from Asia
(liquid
fermented/nitrogenated
soybean
beverage) that
has been used as
a parallel
therapy in many
documented
cases, alongside
traditional
cancer
treatments.
The
beverage's
benefits include
strengthening of
the immune
system and a
reduction in
side effects
normally
associated with
these types of
treatments.

Nanogen |
 |
Since this
product was
launched it has
become the
number one
seller in the
concealer
products.
Cheaper than
its rivals, it
is getting great
reviews with
very positive
feed back from
users. I would
suggest you try
this product.
You will
probably never
use another
brand again !!
Nanofibres
are a unique
formulation of
pure keratin
that have been
precision cut by
laser to
microscopic
dimensions.
After cutting,
the fibres are
dyed and are
coated to
enhance the
retention of
electrostatic
charge.
The dried
fibres are then
hygienically
packed into
containers,
which are
constructed from
a sophisticated
polymer that
stimulates
static charging
of the fibres
whenever the
container is
moved.
