reatment of glaucoma.

Immediate treatment for early stage, open-angle glaucoma can delay progression of the disease. That's why early diagnosis is very important. Glaucoma treatments include medicines, laser trabeculoplasty, conventional surgery, or a combination of any of these. While these treatments may save remaining vision, they do not improve sight already lost from glaucoma.
Medicines. Medicines, in the form of eyedrops or pills, are the most common early treatment for glaucoma. Some medicines cause the eye to make less fluid. Others lower pressure by helping fluid drain from the eye. Before you begin glaucoma treatment, tell your eye care professional about other medicines you may be taking. Sometimes the drops can interfere with the way other medicines work. Glaucoma medicines may be taken several times a day. Most people have no problems. However, some medicines can cause headaches or other side effects. For example, drops may cause stinging, burning, and redness in the eyes. Many drugs are available to treat glaucoma. If you have problems with one medicine, tell your eye care professional. Treatment with a different dose or a new drug may be possible. Because glaucoma often has no symptoms, people may be tempted to stop taking, or may forget to take, their medicine. You need to use the drops or pills as long as they help control your eye pressure. Regular use is very important. Make sure your eye care professional shows you how to put the drops into your eye. kaufen levitra

What Is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a chronic (long-lasting) skin disease of scaling and inflammation. Although the disease occurs in all age groups, it primarily affects adults. It appears about equally in males and females. Psoriasis occurs when skin cells quickly rise from their origin below the surface of the skin and pile up on the surface before they have a chance to mature. Usually this movement (also called turnover) takes about a month, but in psoriasis it may occur in only a few days. In its typical form, psoriasis results in patches of thick, red (inflamed) skin covered with silvery scales. These patches, which are sometimes referred to as plaques, usually itch or feel sore. They most often occur on the elbows, knees, other parts of the legs, scalp, lower back, face, palms, and soles of the feet, but they can occur on skin anywhere on the body. The disease may also affect the fingernails, the toenails, and the soft tissues of the genitals and inside the mouth. While it is not unusual for the skin around affected joints to crack, approximately 1 million people with psoriasis experience joint inflammation that produces symptoms of arthritis. This condition is called psoriatic arthritis.

Hair trends!

Now the vogue on deep ash blonde and strawberry to flaming red, besides brunettes are always in vogue. However, there is a focus on blondes and redheads of any variety. Nowadays, women are free to choose their own personal hairstyle from pixie short to Godiva long. However, short hairdos will get plenty of play this year. Think Sienna Miller, Victoria Beckham, and Sharon Stone. If short appeals to your inner goddess, now is the time to go for it via a Mia super short cut, a rock star shag, any number of bob variations, or hair cut to shape delicious curls. It is time to have fun with your hair and to bring your inner diva out to play. Curls are huge this season, but we aren’t talking tight spirals. We talking loose, natural curls and waves a la Jessica Biel. Victorian appeal takes front and center with softer and more romantic locks whether they are worn up, down, or somewhere in between. Volume is key to this look. Try Hayden Panettiere’s secret weapon and use large velcro rollers, letting the hair dry naturally or with a hair dryer defuser on low to medium.

A Fix For Everything You Might Get In Your Hair!

I have to say that of all the things that I have heard that people have gotten stuck in their hair, I think that tar has to be one of the worst. Yes there are some remedies for hair traumas like gum, Vaseline, castor oil, paint and rancid odors, but in some cases, your only option is to cut it out.

While it never hurts to try and remove a foreign object or subject yourself, keep in mind that you may need professional help. Your favorite stylist might have some secret tips tucked away that can help. When in doubt call a hair pro so see if they can talk you down from your latest hair jam. Gum & Sticky Candy Take a little bit of creamy peanut butter and work it slowly into the gum that is stuck in the hair. Use a wide tooth comb, pick or the tail of a rattail comb to remove the peanut butter and the gum. Always work on very small sections of the hair at a time. If the gum is hard to remove try multiple applications of the peanut butter. Never use crunchy peanut butter or you may add to the problem.

An alternative option is Wesson or other salad oil. The oil will soften the gum and make it easier to dislodge from the hair. Work a little oil into the hair around the gum or candy and use a pick or rattail comb to work the object out.

Another option is to apply ice cubes to the gum and "freeze" the gum until hardens and is easier to pick out of the hair.

Be sure to shampoo hair well after all the gum is out. You may find that your hair has a lingering smell of peanuts or salad so don't hang around elephants for a few days. Other than that, your hair should be just fine.

Tar Yes, believe it or not, I have had a few emails from frantic moms with tar headed babies. Don't ask me how it happened, you don't want to know. Keep in mind that anything in life can occur when you least expect it. Just be prepared.

Tar can be a little trickier to get out but it can be done with lots of patience. Get some old fashioned wax paper from the grocery store. It has to have wax at least on one side. No other paper will do as well.

If the tar is in the hair in a spot that makes it possible to drape over an ironing board you are in a better position to try and get it out Apply the wax paper to either side of the hair. Set the iron on a very low heat setting. Carefully touch the iron to the top of the wax paper. Experiment with the heat until you are able to soften the tar from the iron and it slowly attaches to the wax paper. Press down on the wax paper with your fingers to help pull the tar up. Use your fingers to pull the paper with the tar off the hair. Sort of like pulling pie dough from wax paper.

This may take a little experimentation. If you take your time and work the iron's heat onto the tar it will eventually soften to the point that the paper will help pull the tar out of the hair. You may need to try more than one application of heat.

If the tar is near the scalp you have a completely different issue. Do not use a warm or hot iron near the scalp or any part of the head that could be easily/accidently burned by the appliance.

You will still need the wax paper for removal. Use a blow dryer and direct the heat to the tar area. Use the heat to soften the tar. Apply the wax paper and gently blot it own on the softened tar to remove.

When nothing else works for you, then it is time to head for the scissors. Tar can be unbeatable if it is close to the scalp, in a large ball or super hard.

Removing Vaseline Luckily the news is good. Vaseline, which is composed of petroleum jelly (petrolatum) can be removed from hair. One of the most reliable removal methods involves cornstarch.

Apply a little cornstarch to the hair and carefully pat, (never rub), it into the hair. The cornstarch will absorb some, if not all of the Vaseline. After you apply the cornstarch shampoo it out with a good clarifying shampoo or a similar product. Most, if not all, of the Vaseline should be removed with the first treatment. If not, repeat until all the greasiness is gone. Be sure to use warm not hot water for the shampoo. Cold water makes the Vaseline worse.

If you are out of cornstarch you can try a baking soda/shampoo option. Mix one teaspoon of baking soda and mix it with a regular baby shampoo. Pat the mixture onto the hair while it is still dry. Then add warm to hot water. This should help. Repeat until all the Vaseline is removed.

Although flour will work as a cornstarch substitute, it is not usually as effective. Flour may also start to dry the hair out more than the cornstarch.

Keep in mind that after applying cornstarch, flour or baking soda, you hair may need some extra care and a good deep conditioning treatment.

Castor Oil-If you get castor oil in your hair then the result is a giant grease spot that lasts for days.

First, pat and blot a lot of the oil off with paper towels. Then pour a dime sized blob of shampoo into the palms of your hands. Pat the mixture on top of the greased hair. Apply a little bit of warm water and work up a lather that will spread throughout your hair. After just two applications of the mixture your hair will be castor oil free.

The hair may feel very dry and brittle after the removal operation is completed. Slather on lots of conditioner, try a deep conditioner, and let it sit in for a while. Your hair will almost be back to normal.

Another option is to apply a thin layer of cornstarch and pat it carefully into the castor oil sections. Flour or cornmeal can also be used in a pinch. Apply shampoo to the dry hair first. Then apply water. This process will help to cut the oil more efficiently.

Remember to always deep condition after any drastic gunk removal operation. Better yet, skip the castor oil routine all together. Cornstarch - Miracle Oil Remover Whether you find yourself gooped up with Vaseline, castor oil, mineral oil or any other oil that won't easily rinse out, try the cornstarch remedy first. The beauty of cornstarch is that it will bind with many oils and help to lift them from the cuticle of the hair. This is a lot like pouring salt on icy roads to help get traction for walking. The cornstarch will work well with most oils and many grease based products.

Smoke & Other Odors The instant remedy is to wipe a softening sheet like Bounce through your dry hair. The chemicals on the sheet will grab the odors and remove them as the sheet makes contact with your hair.

For super stubborn odors rinse your hair in undiluted tomato sauce. If you have damaged or porous blonde hair be advised that this may not be the best treatment for your hair since it may leave a stain.

Sticky Hair Combine 1/4 to 1/2 box of baking soda (not powder) with enough spring or distilled water to make a paste. Pat the paste onto wet hair. Don't rub the mixture unnecessarily or it may cause fragile ends to break off. Rinse well. Apply a good rinse-out and leave in conditioner.

Paste Most artist's paste and glues will wash out with shampoo and warm water. Sometimes the paste or glue will dry into clumps in hair. It is best to use a pick to pick the clumps out first and then try shampoo.

Glue & Super Glue This is definitely stickier. There are products on the market designed to remove super glue. The best thing to do is to contact the maker of the super glue and ask what they recommend for removing the glue from hair and skin. Some hardware stores will also have a special glue remover that can be used on hair and skin. Always test a very small part of the area with the remover before going full blast with the removal process. Some removers may be harsh for hair and should be used very carefully.

Paint Most paint on the market today is water based and will wash out with shampoo and warm water. If for some reason the paint does not wash out it is best to call the store where you bought the paint for suggestions. A tiny bit of paint remover can also be carefully deployed. The key is to use only a tiny amount to avoid harming your hair. Always read the bottle of paint remover to be sure it is safe for hair or skin.

Ink, Magic Marker, Crayon & Toner Ink Most ink will wash out with a few shampoo applications. Some ink may be more difficult to remove. One possible ink blasting solution is to apply a tiny bit of WD40 from the hardware store. Don't apply more than a small amount or you may damage the hair.

WD40 will also remove printer toner ink, crayon and some magic marker stains from the hair. Before whipping out the WD 40 always try shampoo and water first. If that fails to remove the stain, experiment with the WD40. Apply a small test amount with cotton balls to determine if it will remove or fade the stain.

In most cases the various mentioned stains will fade over time. If the stain is huge or totally unsightly you may have to consider the scissors as a last resort.

Choosing the Best Hair Loss Remedy

By: Rogers Jones


If you are beginning to lose your hair, you likely feel embarrassed and concerned. While hair loss is sometimes a natural part of the aging process, there are treatments that can be used to stop it. The hair loss remedy you choose will depend on many factors, including your gender, the amount of hair loss you are experiencing and the cause of your hair loss.

One popular over the counter hair loss treatment is minoxidil, which is a medication commonly known by the brand name of Regaine. Minoxidil works well for both men and women. This medication is a liquid that is rubbed on the scalp twice a day. It both increases hair growth and can stop hair loss. This hair loss remedy does not cause the hair to grow back as full, thick, and long as it had been before, but it does often cause enough hair to grow to cover the bald spot. Minoxidil does not work for everyone and the effects of the medication stop as soon as you stop using it.

Men with male pattern baldness can benefit from a prescription hair loss remedy known as finasteride or Propecia. This medication stops testosterone from converting into dihydrotestosterone, which appears to cause male hair loss. Women cannot use this medication because it poses severe danger to male babies in the womb. Finasteride works primarily to slow or arrest the loss of hair but it can cause some new hair growth. The overall success rate of this medication is 89 per cent.

Sometimes women and men with hair loss can benefit from having cortisone injections in the scalp. Cortisone in a cream or ointment can sometimes be used to stimulate hair growth as well. However, injections are more effective than creams or ointments. The injections are usually repeated on a monthly basis.

Any medical hair loss remedy has potential side effects. Also, these medical treatments do not always work. Many people suffering from hair loss, particularly women, will try surgical procedures to treat their condition. Surgery is usually only tried after traditional remedies have failed. There are two surgical procedures used as hair loss remedies. These are hair transplants and scalp reduction surgery.

A hair transplant involves taking hair and skin from a part of the body where the hair is growing well, such as the back of the head, and surgically attaching it to the part of the head where the hair loss is occurring. As the transplants take root, the hair grows as it had been growing on the back of the head, eventually covering the bald area.

A scalp reduction involves stretching the scalp so that the skin in the bald spot can be removed. The incision is closed by stretching the scalp so that the areas that contain hair cover the removed portion. After the area heals, the hair grows as normal. There are many potential side effects to a surgical hair loss remedy. For this reason, those considering surgery to deal with their hair loss should carefully discuss the option with their doctors to give themselves the chance to weigh the benefits against the potential risks.

Know All About Laser Hair Treatments

If you hate shaving, are tired of putting up with painful waxing, tweezing, depilatory creams, and all of the time that removing unwanted facial or body hair can take, laser hair removal may be right for you. Getting rid of unwanted hair can be painful and time consuming. Until now, the only options for removing unwanted hair were smelly removal creams, sharp razors, stinging wax or painful electrolysis needles.

This treatment is supposed to be a safe process, yet dubious claims and inappropriate equipment still lead to scams and injuries. Consumers themselves must know the ins and outs of this technique to prevent themselves from getting cheated. The effects of this technique can be permanent, but there is no guarantee. The result of the treatment does not necessarily mean the area will be completely devoid of hair. While permanent removal can occur, the procedure may simply result in reducing the amount of hair in the treated area, or it can lighten the color of the hair and decrease its thickness. Results vary from patient to patient, so please check with your doctor.

Hair color and skin type are the key factors that influence the success of this technique. It's most successful on people with dark hair and light skin. However, it can also be used on people with darker skin types. During the procedure, you wear goggles to prevent accidental exposure of your eyes to laser light. When this light is activated, you feel a stinging sensation. Oftentimes a topical local anesthetic is applied before the procedure to reduce discomfort. The procedure causes a slight charring of stubble. You may notice a strong odor of singed hair, which is normal. How long the procedure takes depends on the area of the body involved. A small area such as the upper lip may take several minutes. A larger area such as the back may require several hours.

Lasers now give skin care professionals the opportunity to offer a series of treatments that are predicated by the hair growth cycles of the body that allow for a very precise method of removing hair on a permanent basis. Lasers produce a very specific form of energy, which is represented as photons or light energy. This light specifically targets the individual hair follicles in an effort to heat them. This heat, which is a bi-product of the light, then acts to disable the follicle and impair its ability to grow. The net result is, of course, long term removal.

Within about 30 minutes of treatment, the area may become pink or red. Clients describe it as mild sunburn, and this reaction usually subsides within a day or so. Because the laser does not damage the skin, no bandages are necessary. If necessary, the doctor may prescribe a topical cream to apply to the treated areas.

After treatment:

Avoid exercise and exertion for the first 24 hours. Perspiration from exertion may increase irritation caused by the laser.

Avoid exposure to the sun for several weeks after treatment. After this period, make sure you apply sunscreen whenever you're in the sun. Avoid tanning booths - the ultraviolet light damages the skin.

Don't wax or pluck hairs between treatments.

Don't pick at or manipulate the skin in treated areas.

Don't rub or scrub the treated area. You may gently wash the area with soap and water.

Causes of Hair Loss in Men and Women

There are many causes of hair loss. Both men and women can obtain it. It can be because of nutritional deficiency, hormone imbalance, stress, and diseases. But generally the most common cause of it is called adrogenetic alopecia. It is the medical term for hair loss or baldness. Adrogenetic refers to the influence of androgens (male hormones), and genetic predisposition to balding can be the reason of such a hair loss.

Genetic is not that simple, and also the hair loss case. Just the presence of someone in your family of balding is not enough to predict that you will also become bald. It is really hard to predict who will go bald and how fast will it be. That is why planning for hair restoration will be very important for those people who gets alarmed about it. Normal men and women produce androgenic hormones. Dihydrotestosterone, androsteinedione, testosterone (DHT) is the most common. For men testicles and adrenals are the one to produce it. For women ovaries and adrenal glands are the one to produce.

These hormones are important for both sexes. But have different concentrations, and this is more predominant for males than females. This in part, differentiates the genders. Exposure of hair follicles to DHT, in a susceptible person, in a period of time leads to male and female pattern to baldness or the so-called adrogenetic alopecia. There is no exact age for balding occurrence. Balding is a process, simple yet this fact is often ignored. This process can be slow or rapid. It usually starts at late teens.

Illnesses and medical conditions is one of the causes of hair loss. For example, thyroid disease and diabetes, can cause hair loss. Those people with liver and kidney diseases and lupus can also have baldness. Adult women and teen girls can have hair loss due to hormone imbalance in polycystic ovary syndrome.

Medications such as acne medicines cause hair loss. Amphetamines in diet pills can also cause hair loss. And the very known medication that causes hair loss is chemotherapy. Alopecia areata is a skin disease than causes hair loss on the scalp and sometimes on the body. It is an autoimmune disease. The own immune system is the one to damage the hair follicles. Alopecia areata starts as small bald patches and can progress to total baldness. Trichotillomania is a psychological disorder in which a person pulls his/her own hair that can also lead to hair loss.

Hair treatments and styling the hair gives tension to scalp and hair becomes damaged and leads to hair loss. Nutrition is also one factor of baldness because of lack of protein, vitamins and minerals that sustains the hair. Disruption of hair cycle growth is also a problem. Like delivering a baby, getting anesthesia, or having surgery.

Causes of Hair Loss in Women

The following causes should be investigated if you are experiencing more-than-normal hair loss:

Diet: An unbalanced diet, especially one without enough protein, can cause temporary hair loss. Women who are anemic often experience loss.

Menopause: Because of the change in hormones during this period, hair loss can escalate, and, unfortunately, this can be permanent.

Frequent Shampooing: Shampoos contain a lathering ingredient called surfactant. This can be irritating to the scalp and cause itching and scratching, thus increased hair loss.

Improper Care: If you manipulate your hair too much, color and treat too much, blow dry and heat with curling irons and hot rollers too much, you will see increased hair loss. You need only to look at your bathroom floor, sink and countertops to notice this. Slow down!

Psychological/Physiological Stress: Increased hair loss can occur with pregnancies, major surgery, or a major life event, such as a death or divorce. These causes are temporary and hair growth will return to normal eventually.

Heredity: Heredity plays a part and comes from both sides of the family.

Other Health Conditions: Thyroid problems, lupus, and diabetes can accelerate hair loss. Obviously, these need to be diagnosed by a physician.

Alopecia Areata: This is an autoimmune condition characterized by circular patches of baldness. Basically, the body is attacking the hair follicles. Cortisone shots in the affected areas are required, and the earlier the better.Take heart. There's a lot of research going on which may soon resolve most of the causes of hair loss in women.

Rapunzel`s Locks

Women all want thick, flowing, shiny, and healthy hair that moves with a bounce and is the envy of many. If that were not true, there would not be so many products in hair salons and on the shelves of drug stores designed and promising to add body and fullness to our hair. Julia Roberts, Farah Fawcett (circa the 1970`s), Jennifer Aniston, and Andie McDowell are just a few actresses that have enviable hair that has been spotlighted and written about. Even in fairy tales like Goldilocks and Rapunzel, a big deal was made about the importance of their hair. It would seem that Rapunzel`s hair just kept right on growing to be able to reach the ground from high atop the tower where she was held captive. For her prince to be able to use her hair as a rope to climb up to her would inidicate some pretty strong roots! And how about Lady Godiva? She rode on her horse down the main street of Coventry covered only by her hair. That must have been quite a thick mane. The most prominent male character in history to have noteworthy hair was Samson. His hair was his source of his physical strength. He was supposed to be able to move stone pillars and break them too, that is until Delilah rudely went and cut it all off.

So both men and women attribute beauty, appeal, and even strength to luxurious hair. But for some people, their hair is not as thick or full as they would like it to be. Hair loss is not strictly a male condition. About 40% of American women experience varying degrees of hair loss. This can be emotionally traumatic for women affecting their self image and their emotional well being. Sometimes hair loss can be just temporary but sometimes it becomes chronic. Determining the cause can be useful in planning a course of action.

Temporary causes can be pregnancy and childbirth. A friend of mine said that her hair actually fell out in clumps during her pregnancy, which understandably horrified her. Luckily, it all started to grow back soon after she had her son. Hormone fluctuations also are an underlying cause of thinning hair. The hormone fluctuations could be caused by a thyroid condition or because of menopause and hormone replacement drugs. These drugs have an adverse effect on the development of new hair follicles. As if we already didn`t know that stress affects our bodies, emotional and physical stress - such as an illness, can be another reason for thinning hair. I bet in this case an extended vacation and a winning lottery ticket might bring back many happy follicles.

Another theory for thinning hair, besides heredity, is all the overprocessing we do to it. We blow dry, perm, color, and use hot curling irons on our hair. All of that damages the hair follicles. Don`t believe it? The next time you home color your hair, check the shower drain for your proof. The most significant and profound cause of temporary hair loss is chemotherapy. These powerful medications are meant to attack growing cancer cells in the body, but unfortunately that inlcudes the cells in your hair roots as well. Chemotherapy causes hair loss all over the body and not just on the scalp. Fortunately, hair begins to grow back about a month after treatments stop.

I`ve always been a believer that healthy eating, supplements, and herbs can only help our overall health. Studies have shown that certain dietary upgrades can also help us to have healthy hair. A balanced diet that includes whole protein rich foods is recommended. "Healthy hair vitamins" as they are known, include vitamins B, C, and E. Other helpful nutrients are calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc, and iron. Scalp massages stimulate blood flow to the scalp and support follicle production. Plus they feel devine!

Studies have also shown that the nutrients taken orally for certain conditions, also have benefits if they are applied topically too. Some of the enriching topical solutions for hair re-growth, besides Minoxidil, will effectively "seed" the scalp to create optimum conditions for new, healthy hair to grow. We need nutrients in our body and our scalp needs some too. An ideal topical solution would contain absorbable nutrients and trace minerals to stimulate follicle production. Solutions containing a combination of even just a little Minoxidil mixed with B vitamins, biotin, magnesium, PABA (shown to specifically nourish hair), folic acid, and hair healthy herbs are the way to go. They have already helped millions of men and women to see dramatic results, but don`t expect them to be overly chatty about it. It`s just good to know that there are proactive solutions to this widespread problem.

Chinese Medicine for Hair Loss

By: David Adwards


Chinese medicine consists of the following healing techniques: herbology, acupuncture, and acupressure. These modes of healing can be rooted back in the ancient Chinese system of treating diseases. Right now, a lot of medical practitioners are claiming that these healing techniques have some legitimate scientific basis to it. Incidentally, hair loss is just one minor problem that Chinese medicine can easily address.

There are different concoctions, herbs, and procedures to revert hair loss in a person. The traditional Chinese way of healing comprises the use of pressure points, chi, and energy flow into the body. One good medicine for hair loss is Goto Kola.

A very popular herb known to curb hair loss in men and also control male pattern baldness.
Also known to help people with alopecea, this herb is available in its natural form and as a pill.
It is also used for blood purification and increase memory power of a person, but must be taken after Doctor's consultation only.

Goto Kola is very effective for age-related hair loss and male pattern baldness. It is believed that Goto Kola is the well-kept secrets of Chinese centenarians who have gone past their 100th birthday still enjoy the full lock of their hair.

But more than treating hair loss, Goto Kola is also effective for memory problems, anxiety, insomnia, edema, and high blood pressure. It can also be used to enhance a person's cognitive processes, heal wounds, and promote blood circulation.

Other than Goto Kola, ginseng is also a good treatment for hair loss.

Who hasn't heard of this Chinese medicine, right? Well, Ginseng has been administered for decades now, to cure various ailments, one of which is hair loss.
The Siberian Ginseng has strong medicinal powers that helps rejuvenate the scalp and increase blood flow.

This herb must be the most popular one yet this decade. Both Chinese medicine and the Indian Ayurvedic medicine had attested to its effectiveness. It addresses hair loss by directly inhibiting the production of 5 alpha reductase, which is the element that is believed to cause the problem. Ginseng can also inhibit cortisol and work as an adaptogen.

Foti, also referred to as Shien Mien in Chinese medicine, is also a good herbal treatment for hair loss.

Also known as He Shou Wu, this herb is commonly consumed as tea or as medication to help increase hair growth and reduce hair loss.

In fact, it has been used as a hair-growing agent in the past few years already. However, scientific evidences to prove its effectiveness are yet to surface. But with the testimonials of the people who are using it, this herb is definitely worth a try.

But more than the use of Chinese medicine, it has been recently discovered that male pattern baldness can actually be triggered by the food that a person eats. A western diet consisting of dairy products, meat, and fast food items are conducive to hair loss, according to an epidemiological study conducted in Japan eight years ago.

The study also concluded that a macrobiotic diet has a positive effect to hair growth. Such diet consists of grains, fish, and vegetables, including foods that are rich in the 3 fatty acids and 6 fatty acids.

Types of headaches.

Cluster headaches are sharp, extremely painful headaches that tend to occur several times per day for months and then go away for a similar period. They are far less common. Sinus headaches cause pain in the front of your head and face. They are due to inflammation in the sinus passages that lie behind the cheeks, nose, and eyes. The pain tends to be worse when you bend forward and when you first wake up in the morning. Postnasal drip, sore throat, and nasal discharge usually occur with these headaches. Headaches may occur if you have a cold, the flu, fever, or premenstrual syndrome. If you are over age 50 and are experiencing headaches for the first time, a condition called temporal arteritis may prove to be the cause. Symptoms of this condition include impaired vision and pain aggravated by chewing. There is a risk of becoming blind with this condition. Therefore, it must be treated by your doctor right away. Rare causes of headache include: Brain aneurysm -- a weakening of the wall of a blood vessel that can rupture and bleed into the brain, Brain tumor Stroke or TIA Brain infection like meningitis or encephalitis.

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT)

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) - The devil in the wood pile

Dihydrotestosterone or DHT as it is known is a very potent hormone in the humane body. This hormone DHT is responsible for giving man his male characteristics when he is just a fetus in his mother's womb. To put things in the simplest of ways, all of us start out in the womb as females, a status decided on by nature. It is during the sixth week of pregnancy that DHT begins to form in the fetus by testosterone, the male hormone, combining with an enzyme called 5 alpha reductase. It is this DHT that stimulates the growth of the male sex organs and stems the growth of the female genitalia. Now just imaging what would happen if this DHT were to be a scarce commodity during this crucial stage of sex determination in the fetus!
The anomalies of DHT deficiency

The result of a deficiency of Dihydrotestosterone in the fetus stage will result in abnormal formation of male sex organs and will produce an infant which will be neither this way nor that, and if the male genitalia are fully formed then there may just be a lack of libido and probably complete sterility. Let us understand how this happens. Because males with a deficiency of Dihydrotestosterone are born with ambiguous genitalia, this condition is better known as 'Pseudohermaphroditism' the clinical abnormalities of this condition will range from infertility to underdeveloped male with 'Hypospadias' to predominantly developed female external genitalia. The uterus and fallopian tubes in this case are absent because of the normal secretion of the 'm?rian-inhibiting' factor and the testes are intact. Male internal ducts are present but terminate in a blind Pseudovaginal pouch or terminate on the perineum.

How it happens

5-alpha-reductase, the enzyme that converts testosterone to Dihydrotestosterone or DHT, is the cause of this very disturbing disorder. The conversion to DHT involves hydroxylation at the 5 carbon position of the 'A' ring of the steroid molecule. This change flattens the shape of DHT, permitting it to fit perfectly into the androgen receptor in a way that the hormone testosterone cannot. In this way, DHT is bound selectively to the androgen receptors in genital skin and fibroblasts, making its action necessary for the development of normal male genital anatomy in the fetus.

There are therapies available but to what extent they are effective is difficult to say. www.procerin.com has information on the subject you could use and effective measures to tackle the problem of DHT deficiency as best as present day technology can permit.

Innovation in chemotherapy.

The New York Times reports on a program at the Colorado University hospital to mix up chemotherapy drugs with robots. If successful, this may be the beginning of a substantial safety innovation in the field of cancer care. Chemotherapy is often given in the form of cocktails: either more than one chemotherapy agent or agents with carriers, diluents, and other materials. Dosing must be exact, and there is always the possibility of dangerous errors. By turning the responsibility over to a machine, developers hope to reduce error rates and enhance patient safety. Two companies, Primus Innovations and Health Robotics, are mentioned as collaborating with the hospital in the program. The Baylor Health System in Texas is also pursuing a chemotherapy mixer robot program. A news report says the Colorado doctors think robotic mixing will eventually become the standard procedure at major mesothelioma centers. The CU Hospital will start using the robot in a few weeks. A similar robot has been used in Europe.

Simple Tips To Restore Your Confidence In Your Hair

If you are looking for treatment for your damaged hair that has been troubling you, all you may need is a return to the basics. A few minutes spent every day in caring for your hair, a slightly different lifestyle and using natural products may make more of a difference in returning your hair to its healthy best than you thought possible. Whatever you may have thought of her as a teenager, the tips your mother gave you are still as valid today as they were then. Read on to learn simple things to improve your damaged hair.

Keep those Chemicals away: Reduce the use of chemicals as far as you can. Artificial colors, synthetic shampoos, imitation dyes are all very harmful for your hair and may lead you to premature grey hair. Use the correct shampoo for your type of hair, and try to use nature based products for the best results. Alternatively, pull out that recipe book from the attic and use some of the home-products for hair care, for a cheap and efficient cure for your damaged hair.

Keep them Nourished: In their eagerness to have flowing locks, most girls forget to give the hair their due nourishment. Hair is like other parts of your body, it also needs nutrition. The best nutrition possible is a healthy and balanced diet, and avoidance of fast foods like French fries. For local nourishment, use a good massage of hot oil at least once a week to keep your hair in shape. The oil gets absorbed in the scalp and passes on the hair through the roots. Olive oil is considered to be the best, followed closely by almond oil and coconut oil.

Drink Plenty of Water: You may have been sick of your grandmother telling you to drink more water all the time, but the fact of the matter is that her advice still holds true. The human body is composed mostly of water, and so are the cells of your hair. Like your skin, your hair also needs lots of water to remain supple and pliant.

Wash it down: Had a typical bad hair day? Never mind. Massage you hair with good hair oil and leave it on for at least an hour to let the roots soak it in. Follow it up with a warm water shower with a mild shampoo to get your hair back in shape. Use a good conditioner to reduce the harsh impact of the cleansing, and let the hair dry naturally (driers are bad for your hair). Avoid using any chemicals or hair styling gels for a couple of days to let your hair regain its strength. Voila! Your hair is back to normal!

Choose good Hair Accessories: Quality always counts. You may have saved a few pennies by buying a cheap brush, but the damage it will cause to your hair is likely to cost you a packet at the hair restoration clinic. Go for quality hair accessories like shampoos, conditioners, colors, brushes, oils and the like. Natural products are always better for your hair, and their use will avoid your being troubled by such minor irritants as dandruff and hair loss .

It wasn't that difficult after all, was it? Some changes in the products you use, and the way you use them, could make the difference between your having a mop of the best hair anyone could dream of, and continuing those never-ending visits to the hair restoration clinic.

Best of luck with your new-found confidence!

Know about Hair Extensions

Hair Extensions way to get longer and fuller hair. There are many different types of Hair Extensions on the market, but for the sake of simplicity we will focus on two main types of application methods: Individual Strands and Wefts. Individual method involves taking small amounts of extension hair (natural or synthetic ) and applying to small sections of your own hair by either weaving in, heat fusing, gluing, clamping with metal rods or using waxes and polymers. These extensions usually only last a few months before they have to be taken out and completely re-done. The main problem with this method is taking the Hair Extensions out without damaging your own hair. Hair extensions have been around forever, but recently there has been technological advancement in the industry and modern day hair extensions are becoming readily available and even affordable. Hair extensions can be done with either human hair or synthetic hair. Small strands of the human or synthetic hair are attached to your natural hair, creating a thick natural long flowing hair style.

Hair extensions can be done with either human hair or synthetic hair. Some people love man-made hair for its disposability, and some hate the thought of wearing real human hair extensions. Good-quality synthetic hair extension should be light and airy. The strands of hair should separate in the wind as does natural hair. It should have a natural "flat" shine. Many people prefer natural human hair extensions as they are wary of handmade synthetic hair or fear it may end up looking not as good as the real thing, Although fake hair is unbelievably good, at the end of the day it is hard to do better then the real thing. There are several grades of quality in real hair and many different methods to attach the hair to your existing hair. Other popular uses are for hair thinning or even hair loss situations. There are some methods of hair extensions that can actually help improve the condition of your natural hair as it grows out. A heated clamp melts the solution sealing the extension around the hair. This is known as "heat sealing.

Human hair grows approximately 1 cm per month on average. The extensions hair most likely has gone through some type of de-colorization process and then re-colored to get it the to color that it is now. There are hundreds of methods used to apply hair extensions and just as many types of hair. The most popular system out now is the strand by strand method made by companies such as Great Lengths, Hair Dreams and SoCap. These extensions are attached to your hair with polymer bonds near the root in small sections. Hair Dreams and SoCap both use a heated tool to soften their bonds so they can be rolled around the hair sections forming a round seal. Great Lengths offers Cold Fusion; which uses a special tool to create an ultra sonic vibration to soften the bond. The bond is then is folded around the sections making the individual sealed bonds small, smooth and flat. Most extensions, if applied properly, will last up to four months. After this the special glue-like bond attached to your natural hair will begin to loosen and fall off.

Hair Extensions uses and types

In recent years the demand for hair extensions has exploded. Never before have they been so popular. They are not only the latest fashion accessory in the celebrity world but also in salons across the UK with more and more women turning to them as the fast way to grow their hair out.

As the trend of extensions has grown so has the type of hair extensions available and we are finding more reasons than ever before to wear them. Whether you want them for added length, volume or colour or for that extra little bit of confidence, they are a great way to experiment with style. Maybe you merely want them for a night out or a special occasion or maybe you want them on a more permanent basis. Whatever you reason for choosing to invest in the latest must have style my advice is go for it. You can get them in any length up to 26" or 30", any longer would be too heavy for your hair to handle.

You can still wear your hair in whatever style you want, if you want to tie it back, put it in braids or curl it you can. Your extensions are applied level with the middle of your ears and shouldn't be applied any lower than the base of your scalp; by doing this you are able to style your hair however you want as your extensions will be covered by your natural hair from all angles.

Now we get onto the type of extensions that are available to you. There are different types of hair quality and there are different types of methods to attach the extensions to your own hair. One of the hair types that it is advised that you avoid is synthetic hair. This form of hair extension can be seen as the equivalent of putting plastic in your hair. It appears shinier than your natural hair and doesn't have flexible styling abilities as you can't straighten or curl it due to the fact it will melt your extensions. This is however the best type of hair to use for dreadlocks.

One of the cheaper hair extension options that are available to you is using Asian hair. This hair type naturally grows course and is very dark and straight. It is good on a temporary basis, especially is you want a sleek, dark look. However the most commonly used hair for extensions is European hair. This hair is most often from Southern Italy or Spain. It is grown naturally dark and can either be brought straight or wavy; it is however recommended that if you use this hair you opt for the straight choice as you have the option of keeping it straight or occasionally curling it, whereas hair that is set wavy will be hard to get straight.

Nearly all of the hair that is used for extensions starts off really dark. It then goes through a chemical process in which the colour is stripped out, leaving the extensions to get re-tinted, which is done using fabric dye as oppose to hair dye. This means that you have to choose the colour of your extensions carefully as you won't be able to colour them due to the fact they have been through a chemical process so adding any more colour will make the hair break.

Before deciding on what type of extensions you are going to have you should talk to your stylist to decide on which type of hair is best for you along with which method of application is best. Only with the advice of your stylist should you pursue your hair extensions, as this will ensure that you get the best out of them.
