FINGERNAILS & YOUR HEALTH

FINGERNAILS & YOUR HEALTH

As taught from the 5th century BC, Hippocrates, a Greek physician who is widely regarded as the father of Western medicine, his students the importance of examining the nails of the patient. He was not looking for gaps in hygiene - Hippocrates believed that nails reflect the State of the internal body. He had discovered that abnormalities of the nails may provide clues about the sanitary conditions, simple or more serious. In fact, he found that some deformation of the nail called "clubbing," aka drumstick fingers, lack of oxygen in the blood, a sign of respiratory disorders. So important was this discovery that doctors, even today, often refer to nail Ascidians as "Hippocratic fingers."
If you're skeptical that nail abnormalities could be an early sign of ill-health, you have good reason to be, says Ramzi Saad, MD, a dermatologist certified at the South Shore skin Center and Spa in Massachusetts. Exams and routine laboratory tests could detect signs of illness before nail changes, but only if you see the doctor. "If a person receives regular health care, this may show problems," he said. "But many people do not go to the doctor regularly, nails can be a good indicator of sanitary conditions." The nails are at the end of your Visual way. You can see your nails, but you can not see your liver or kidneys. »
Why nails reflect health problems? It is not fully understood, said Charles E. Crutchfield, III, MD, a board certified dermatologist practicing in the area of Minneapolis, Minnesota. "However, in generalized inflammatory diseases, there is inflammation in the matrix of the nail (where the nail is formed), and which may cause weakness and bites. '" " And anomalies in electrolytes or proteins in the blood can cause discoloration.

If you examine your matte nails in good light, you can get a good overview of their color, shape and texture. Healthy nails are generally smooth, without ridges or bumps. The area under the nail must be a clear pink uniform without stains or discolouration. What are the symptoms of nail may indicate health problems? Dermatologists weigh on the nail changes that might indicate a need for medical care:

Terry nail is a condition where the nail plate becomes white and disappears from the lunula (half moon at the base of the nail). It can occur in one or more fingers and is associated with liver disease (liver).

Half and half nails or nails Lindsay, are characterized by the distal edge of the nail dark red, Brown or pink. This is specific for underlying kidney disease. In the most severe cases of kidney disease, the proximal part of the nail becomes white.

Beau's lines may have been best friend one day old palm drive. "When there's a real bad systemic disease, shock, surgery or injury, the matrix of the nail will be temporarily closed and do not nail, produce," says Crutchfield. "Once it resumes, there a horizontal Ridge that develops with the nail called a beautiful line. Because toenails take six months to grow, if the line on your nail is to halfway, you could tell the person, "something of very, very traumatic must have happened to you three months ago. '' And the person will say, ' absolutely. How did you know? "" Well, because you can see in thumbnail. ' " »

Splinter haemorrhages are thin longitudinal red or brown lines that occur under the nail plate. They occur due to a phenomenon of coagulation in the capillaries under the nail bed. Bleeding or leakage may be due to trauma to the nail or other problems, they are a classic sign of endocarditis, an inflammation of the inner layer of the heart, especially when coupled with other signs of endocarditis, such as fever and chills.

Oil Drop sign is a translucent yellow-red discoloration in the bed of the nail under the nail plate that looks like a drop of oil. "Once I see that, I need to know nothing else to know the patient suffers from psoriasis," says Crutchfield.

Clubbing is a variation in the corner of the nail, a rounding of the nail bed. It may indicate a problem with oxygenation in the lungs, as seen with a cigarette or chronic lung diseases, such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It can also be a sign of lung cancer.

Thickened, rough nails with friable debris under the tip of the nail usually indicates a fungal infection. While this may occur in people with normal immune systems, it can indicate an im-ciency, as happens with HIV.

If you see one of these or other unusual nail changes, do not panic - but visit your doctor for a check up. Nails are usually only a piece of the puzzle. MS. & F

IT IS HARMLESS
Not every nail anomaly is serious. Here are some common nail problems and suggestions to resolve them:

Lifting of the nail: this is when the nail grows the nail plate. It usually occurs in long nails which are traumatized by the seizure on the keyboard, acrylic nails or another daily process active.
Remedy: Trim nails short. It may take 2 to 3 months to reattach it.

Discoloration or staining: can be the result of treatment of aggressive nails, especially dark polishes or use frequent acrylic nails.
Solution: Rub lemon juice every day on the affected area. Usually takes 10 to 14 days to subside.

Solution: A manicure may file the ridges down, or you can do it yourself. Chew the commercial peak if you want.

Peeling or split nails: occurs with the daily use of alcohol-based cleaners and water and SOAP. Nails appear often frayed.

These days, it seems that even when you're young, you're young enough. Just last spring, viewers in Good Morning America across the nation watched with horror breathtaking as the mother of a girl of 8 years active in the circuit of child pageant described by his daughter with the Botox injection, she bought on the Internet. When asked why she received painful blows to her cheeks, lips and forehead, the child said, "I don't think that wrinkles are nice. It hurts. "But I'm used."
While this is clearly an extreme case, more and more children, mainly teenagers, get these cosmetic procedures from Botox to breast augmentation. In fact, the company American Surgeons (ASPs) believes that more than 218,000 cosmetic procedures, minimally invasive and surgical both, have been conducted on children of 13-19 year olds in 2010 - compared to about 14,000 in 1996.
What gives? "Adolescents are much more aware of their appearance, these days," says Steven Pearlman, MD, a surgeon certified facial plastic based in New York. "It is a function of the insistence of the media on beauty."

Prevention complex
Cosmetic procedures can prevent complexes, but if you think it is "shallow and ridiculous" and that children should just put up with a nose hook or lop ears and learn that "it's how you look on the inside that matters" - just as we have - you can be confused, said Pearlman. "The physical attraction is an important aspect of psychosocial development," he said. "Your appearance can affect how you are perceived by peers and even teachers.
Michael W. Zaharia, MD, certified plastic surgeon, the ENT doctor and medical director of the CosmetiCare in Newport Beach, California, should be warmly. "Kids can be mean. They undress before them. I have adults who come into my office who wish they had been able to do something about their appearance when they were young. You do not want a child to grow up with a complex. »
Sheila Maitlin of Ladera Ranch, Calif., was one of these children. She grew up being teased mercilessly because her torso flat appearance. So when she turned 19, she got silicone gel-filled breast implants. Unfortunately implants leak, but she felt so strongly on improving her appearance that she had repeated procedure - four times in all - due to complications during subsequent surgery. Despite this, says Maitlin, "I totally would do it all again."
Maitlin is so convinced that a more balanced appearance makes a difference in his own life that it is precedent for daughter Sierra, who is 17, to get a breast augmentation as a high school graduation gift. "She has two sisters with larger breasts," says Maitlin, "and her tits are very, very small. Her body is out of balance. She was teased. "I know that this feeling of first-hand."

Preparing Teen
While plastic surgery seems an extreme response to bullying (shouldn't we focus the efforts of change on intimidation rather than their victims?), not to mention a little scary somehow (how do we know we are not opening the door to a nation of lookalikes from Joan Rivers or Michael Jackson?), a good doctor will consider each child individually. "Make sure that the child is ready," said Zaharia. "It means to sit and listening to the child." If they think that everything will change after a procedure, it will improve their personality or relationships, then they are not ready. If they bring a photo of an actress or an another teenager because they want to look like someone else, it's another red flag. Expectations must be realistic. Cosmetic procedures will not change your life, but it can make you feel better about yourself. »
In addition to listening to the child, both Zaharia and Pearlman underline the importance of listening to the adult accompanying the child to ensure that the procedure is not a parental desire instead of the desire of the child. "If the parent seems a bit too noisy, permission to talk to the child alone," said Zaharia.
Physical maturity should also be assessed before doing cosmetic surgery on teenagers, said Pearlman. A procedure such as pinning (Otoplasty) ear could be done on a child earlier in the 8 years because the ears are fully developed by then, but other cosmetic procedures are not so obvious. Body of the teenager is still maturing and a girl of 16 years who feels she needs breast augmentation or liposuction, for example, may feel differently aged 21 or 22.

Risks of cosmetic surgery
No there was no study epidemiological, clinical long-term risks, physical or psychological, cosmetic procedures for adolescents. But each procedure, even something as seemingly benign as Botox, risks. And some surgical procedures, such as liposuction, for example, with risks potentially serious infections, damage to the skin, nerves, or vital organs. FAT or blood clots that may migrate to the lungs and loss of excessive fluid which can lead to shock or death.
While many parents may disagree today still vehemently, there are parents and physicians who believe that certain cosmetic procedures done on teens carefully selected can be greatly beneficial. "We don't push on adolescents," says Pearlman. "But surgery like a rhinoplasty can be very safe and can also generate lots of self-confidence. It is amazing how much psychological improvement see us. "MS. & F

TOP 5 PROCEDURES AMONG TEENAGE GIRLS IN 2010
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, (FSA), cosmetic procedures five albums, represented 13 19 years teens in 2010 were:
1 hair removal laser - 66 664 adolescents underwent a laser hair removal, which involves the use of the energy of the laser to heat and ignite the hair follicle. This causes the follicle to produce hair for a period of time.
2. the nose (Rhinoplasty) of fitness - 35 005 children went under the knife for a nose job, a surgical procedure that can improve the appearance and proportion of the nose to the face. Rhinoplasty may also correct structural deformations that may interfere with breathing.
3 laser treatment of the veins of the legs - 20 991 adolescents had unsightly leg veins laser treatment. In this procedure, the laser energy heats the veins, forcing to seal and eventually dissolve.
4. laser skin resurfacing - was conducted on 19 466 teens. Laser skin resurfacing helps damaged skin (in adolescents, often scars of acne) by heating the damaged cells and vaporization, thereby exposing the smoother skin underneath.
5. reduction of breast in males - 13 530 young men had a breast reduction for a condition called gynecomastia, a swelling of breast tissue in males. While this is a common problem with puberty, due to hormonal changes and often disappears its own, sometimes only surgery can correct the situation.

CHOOSE THE BEST
Many surgeons uses computer imaging to show that cosmetic surgery can do to improve the appearance. "But it is a tool that can be used dishonestly," said Michael W. Zaharia, MD, certified plastic surgeon, the ENT doctor and medical director of the CosmetiCare in Newport Beach, California. "You can make this picture look like you want to, and it might not be what you can do with realism. A surgeon of hunger will fall into this trap. We must be fair and honest with this. »
How to find a fair and honest doc for cosmetic surgery? Here are some ideas of Zaharia:

Ask others for a recommendation. Ask around to find a surgeon with a good reputation.

Check the credentials. Search the doctor before you undergo the procedure to ensure appropriate training and experience with the surgery you are considering. Make sure that there is no reason to fault.

Please visit the office and pay special attention to all - the cleanliness of the Agency, the professionalism of its staff, after the manner of the doctor.

Ask to see photos of people having undergone similar surgeries.

Don't make a decision based solely on price. Of course, it is good to shop a little, but sometimes, you pay for what you get. If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Ask questions before making a decision. Question to the doctor to make sure that you are a good candidate for the procedure you want. Ask him or the result you can reasonably expect, what risks are involved, how long it will take to recover, and whether the results will be permanent or must be redone at the time.

Do not be afraid to walk away. Just because you make an office visit to explore your options, you are not obliged to what whatsoever. If things feel not good, look elsewhere.

WHITER BRIGHTER SMILE

1-whitening toothpastes are designed to be abrasive and remove the top layer of enamel. They remove only the tasks outside the tooth. frequent use of whitening toothpaste may cause the teeth become sensitive to hot and cold.
2- effective whitening gels contain carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide. I recommend carbamide peroxide, because the results last longer. It is also less dehydration to the teeth and can actually help prevent tooth decay. My own formula whitening gel, frosting 30-Carat *, contains a desensitizing special, potassium nitrate and carbamide peroxide.
3- avoid laundering with lasers, lights and high intensity heat. You will get the same results with other methods and avoid the tooth dehydration and increased sensitivity. Whitening gel can be stored in the refrigerator and can remain effective up to two years.
4- when laundering, a custom mounted plate is greater than single tray for all systems. Make sure that the tray is scalloped on your gums and covering towards the top of your gums. This will prevent unpleasant burning caused by the peroxide. To prevent the risk of burning, always immediately remove excess gel that oozes from the tray.
5 - teeth whitening with appropriate methods do not damage the enamel. Most known sensitivity when whitening teeth is caused by dehydration of the tooth. The peroxide gel dehydrates the teeth just as products containing peroxide hair dry hair. In addition, the bleaching tray covers teeth and saliva prevents keep hydrated teeth. I recommend the wearing of whitening trays is more than 90 minutes. The majority of the active ingredient has been exhausted by this point, and more just trays makes it more sensitive teeth. Never carry the day trays overnight. Drink plenty of water after bleach can also re-hydrate your teeth.
6 - following teeth whitening, avoid coffee, berries, red wine, curry, smoking and other elements of tooth staining. Teeth are more porous for the first 24 hours after bleaching and stain easily of these food products. Drink beverages that stain the teeth, like coffee and cola, with a straw to help the teeth stay white longer. If you forget and turn your pink teeth in a glass of red wine, simply re - whiten teeth for 30 to 60 minutes.
7- do not whiten the teeth of the upper and the lower teeth at the same time. This allows you to see how works the whitening system. Whiten teeth in sections reduces any sensitivity, that you may encounter.
8- you can whiten your teeth as often as necessary as long as you do not experience pain or sensitivity. If the teeth become sensitive, it is a warning sign of fragile nerves inside the teeth that they need a break.
9-porcelain crowns and tooth colored fillings will not whiten. If possible, take into account before you have any visible tooth colored dental work, teeth whitening.
10- more thick enamel whiten more thin enamel. Email is thinner on the gums and can appear more yellow the rest of the tooth. bottom teeth have an email thinner than the upper teeth and could not get as white. MS. & F

It differs also depending on your age (skin loses elasticity with age), ethnicity and also your genetics. Regardless of the amount of sagging skin, for some, it can be a real source of shame. "" It's so sad after all efforts to lose weight, you aren't always proud of your body, "said ben said."
Loose skin is more than a cosmetic problem, however, she adds. "In some cases, excess skin cause health problems such as chafing that can lead to infections of the skin." "" "And many people experience gene increased during the year due to excess skin, to the point where they can exercise is more efficiently.
Although there is nothing you can do to prevent the sagging skin - other than to avoid the weight in the first place - there are solutions. "Fortunately, it is fixable," said ben said, who treats the sagging skin with one or more of the body following surgical remodeling:

Central body lift (belt lipectomy): a facelift for the trunk, a central body lift focuses on the abdomen, thighs and buttocks, removing excess skin and fat and stretched lifting and pulling the remaining skin for a more smooth, more tonic appearance.

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): this procedure removes excess skin and fat in the abdominal area, lifting the remaining skin, resulting in a flatter appearance of the stomach.

Medial thigh lift: removes excess fat in the thigh and inner, firm the skin for an appearance improved thigh; helps reduce the friction of the thighs while walking.

Arm lift (brachioplasty): hang the skin is removed under the arm.

Breast (Mastopexy): a breast lift raises and firms the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the breast. Depending on the amount of weight loss, it may be necessary to use implants to restore good shape and volume of the chest.
How is risky surgery body contouring? Even for procedures relatively immune, no surgery is without risks and side effects, said Steven L. Garner, MD, FACS, certified plastic surgeon Council practice in Santa Cruz, California. Like all surgical procedures, you can discover infection, bleeding, scarring or even blood clots, especially if you have health issues chronic or you are a smoker. "But the scars are most common," he says.
Sunscreen of the scar, as well as the use of silicone gels used post surgically can minimize any aesthetic, but you will always have a scar, said Garner. "Those who have had to endure the sagging skin is more able to accept some scars than the average", he adds. "Of course you do not want a scar, but you'd trade this (release) skin for a scar. ''

HAIR LOSS SOLUTIONS

Yul Brenner pulled it off in The King and I. Chris Daughtry of "American Idol" fame and Vin Diesel in the Fast and the Furious series make him look downright sexy. But for most of us, especially women, a paste bald or thinning, sporting is a source of intense distress.
The American Academy of Dermatology estimates that about 30 million women and 50 million men in this country suffer from hereditary hair loss. Many others still lost hair as a result of health or drug problems. But "the vast majority of permanent hair loss is baldness male or female," said Jody Levine, MD, Director of the dermatology plastic surgery and dermatology in New York City.

Causes of hair loss
Man or woman, or androgenetic alopecia, hair loss says Dr. Levine, is a hereditary condition that makes them more sensitive to testosterone hair follicles (women have hormone male testosterone, too, although a lesser amount than men). In these individuals, produced by hair follicles, called 5-alpha-reductase, enzyme converts testosterone into its active form, dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT attacks hair follicles, causing hair to fall eventually.
Although the hereditary hair loss mechanism is even hair loss, male and female takes on different models. Men tend to have a receding hairline at the forehead or Crown, with a fringe of hair left in the back and the temples. They can become completely bald. Most women have thinning diffuse, but especially at the top of the head and rarely experience total baldness.
Not all hair loss is hereditary, or permanent. Indeed, a loss of hair is perfectly normal. Every day you lose about 100 100 000 to 150 000 hair on your head as part of the normal life cycle of hair follicle. Addition to this hair loss can be caused by immune disorders such as lupus, conditions such as disease of the thyroid, infections of the scalp or anemia and hormonal changes during and after pregnancy and at menopause. Emotional stress and significant weight loss or accident, a plan can accelerate hair loss, also, as can be, some drugs and a physical tension due to hair pulling back tight, cornrowing, or weaving it. Many of these types of hair loss is correct after the underlying problem is corrected.

Treatment options
If you notice hair loss more than expected, the first step is a trip to the dermatologist. A good doctor will do a thorough study of the history and examination with possible laboratory tests to find out if there is a physical cause - and treatment - for the problem. The good news is that even if it is permanent loss of hair, there are more options today than hot hairpieces, itching to yesterday.

Drugs: "drugs are not a permanent solution because as soon as you stop taking them, the positive effects be reversed," said Dr. Levine. ' 'But they can be useful for early hair loss. Some of the drugs used today are:

Minoxidil (Rogaine) is a topical medication that is sold over-the-counter. Used by men and women, it works by increasing the amount of time that your hair follicle is anagen (growth). Most users of Rogaine notice a slowing of hair loss rate in addition some shifts, although the new hair may be thinner and shorter than before. Rogaine is applied to the scalp twice a day and lasts about three months for best results.

Finasteride (Propecia) is a drug of the description that is taken orally. It is not approved for use by women of child-bearing because it can cause birth defects. PROPECIA works by blocking the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT, slowing the hair loss and promote hair regrowth. It can take several months to see the full effect of Propecia.

Corticosteroids can be injected into the scalp to treat certain types of hair loss such as alopecia areata, considered an autoimmune problem. It takes about a month for the hair to start following treatment with cortisone.

'Off-label' of drugs or drugs approved by the FDA for another condition, but which inadvertently found to help hair loss, can be used to treat difficult cases. Dutasteride (Avodart) is one of these drugs. Currently used to treat benign prostate hypertrophy, it decreases the amount of testosterone is converted to DHT. Research suggests that the Avodart lowers as much as 90 percent of DHT in the blood, an improvement on the 65 to 70% reduction of DHT with Propecia.
Other medicines on the label used for female pattern baldness include inhibitors of androgen receptors, such as Spironolactone (Aldactone). Aldactone is a diuretic (water pill) that works for hair loss by preventing the cells of the body to interact with androgens (testosterone), the reduction of the follicle, damaging the DHT.

Low level Laser Therapy (LLLT) has been used for years in medical settings for temporary pain relief and healing of wounds and is also offered in some contexts of Dermatology for hair loss. This treatment involves sitting under a hood device that contains panels of lasers that shine on the scalp, deliver some wavelengths of light during term-time to the area. While he knows exactly how LLLT helps hair loss, David Michaels, inventor of a product approved by the FDA of Pocket called HairMax LaserComb, laser indicates that the mechanism of action is "transfer light to cellular energy energy" into the hair follicles.
Research has shown that some people indeed benefit from laser treatment for the loss of hair, either by cell stimulation or increased blood flow to the treated area. It may take longer than six months to see good results with the laser treatment, and as a treatment drug, LLLT must be used continuously to maintain the growth of hair. "It is more effective in the early stages of hair loss," says Michaels. "It is not for someone who is totally bald."

Hair Restoration Surgery is permanent only for hair loss, said Nicholas Nikolov, MD, FACS, a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills. Early surgery of hair involved round sections (grafts) of 12-20 hair restoration each payroll head and transplanted to the bald area, explains Mr. Nikolov. But it was difficult to maintain blood flow to the graft, and often the hair in the middle of the round graft would die, causing a "donut" appearance. These days, the follicular unit transplantation is the method of choice for hair restoration results.
Follicular transplantation unit is exactly what it looks, says Mr. Nikolov. "It takes follicles to an area of the head where there is an abundance nor putting in an area where you're a little short. Just like planting a tree. »
Many hair restoration surgeons make unit follicular transplantation by removing a strip of hair follicles (with skin) on the back of the head, where the hair are genetically programmed to remain the longest. Then hair band is placed under powerful microscopes, where trained technicians divided the follicles in individual grafts, consisting of 1-3 hairs. The grafts are then transplanted into small incisions in areas of baldness, and the 'donor' area is sewn together.
Mr Nikolov uses another technique for harvesting of grafts, called follicular units automated extraction (FUE). This method, unlike the method of the band, removes follicles separately from the donor area using a small automated punch and forceps. Then the grafts are microscopically divided and implanted in the same manner as the method of the band. The advantage of FUE, said Mr. Nikolov, is that there a no incision and suture the donor site, which means an easier recovery and less scarring. The downside: it takes about once and a half longer for the procedure.
Any method of follicular unit transplantation, it is a (5-8 hours) long and expensive process. Of post-operative instructions to follow, and need to wait about six months to see the full results (period during which newly transplanted hair fall before the hair regrowth). In addition, few women is good candidates for follicular unit transplantation, because unlike men, they rarely hair follicles healthy at the back of the head for grafting of donors.

Expectations of treatment
Any treatment you choose for hair loss, it is important that you find a doctor who will spend the time to discuss your expectations and your goals with you and for the treatment of options to your needs - and finances. And if you are interested in surgery, carefully check the credentials of the doctor. Choose a certified dermatologist, plastic surgeon or cosmetic surgeon and check of State medical boards for complaints of possible patients before choosing a doctor. MS. & F
