1329930847 12 Alzheimers Disease: Drug Sparks Hope, Desperation

John Vasse would do anything to save his wife, June, from Alzheimer’s — the degenerative disease that’s swiftly stealing her memory.

It’s been three years since the devastating diagnosis, and Vasse knows the disease will progress and eventually kill his wife of 42 years. So when he heard last week that a skin cancer drug had reversed Alzheimer’s symptoms in mice, he was determined to get hold of it.

“What’s the harm in trying?” said Vasse, 68, who lives with 66-year-old June in St. Louis. “If someone doesn’t know who they are and needs to be cleaned and toileted several times daily, what could possibly be worse than that?”

The drug, bexarotene, whose trade name is Targretin, quickly cleared abnormal plaques of a protein called beta amyloid from the brain and improved memory in three different mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease, according to a study published Thursday in the journal Science. Beta amyloid is just one feature of Alzheimer’s disease in humans.

Because bexarotene is already approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for skin cancer, doctors can legally prescribe it “off-label” for other conditions. But Alzheimer’s experts urge families to temper their hope until the drug is proved safe and effective by years of clinical trials — a tall order for the country’s 5.4 million patients and 14.9 million caregivers.

“At this point in time, it would really be unethical for a physician to prescribe the medication and, I think, foolish for the patient to take it,” said William Thies, chief medical and scientific officer for the Alzheimer’s Association.

Like other cancer drugs, bexarotene can produc serious side effects, including headaches, hair loss, nausea and depression, and can increase cholesterol levels, according to the National Institutes of Health. In elderly Alzheimer’s patients, many of whom take multiple medications, bexarotene could interact and interfere with other drugs.

Thies said the Alzheimer’s Association received more than a dozen calls about bexarotene after the Science study was published last week. Other doctors contacted by ABC News said they, too, had been contacted by caregivers clamoring for the drug.

“I just said we don’t know if it’s safe or effective,” said Dr. George Grossberg, director of geriatric psychiatry at St. Louis University, who treats June Vasse. “I don’t think we should be prescribing medications if we have no idea how to use them. It’s irresponsible.”

The list of drugs that have been promising in mouse models of Alzheimer’s but disappointing in humans is long. Some have been too toxic, while others have failed to outperform a sugar pill. The last drug approved by the FDA for Alzheimer’s disease was memantine in 2003. And for patients and their families, the string of negative trials has taken its toll.

“People are thinking, ‘Look. I might not be around in two or three years to benefit from the next clinical trial,’” said Dr. Ronald Petersen, director of the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. “I certainly empathize with them. But on the medical side, we certainly can’t recommend a drug that has only been shown to have some possible benefits in a mouse model.”

Beyond safety and efficacy, there’s the cost. Because bexarotene is not an approved Alzheimer’s treatment, insurance companies won’t cover it.

“The drug will cost between $1,200 and $2,500 per day out of pocket,” said Dr. Sam Gandy, director of the Mount Sinai Center for Cognitive Health in New York. Gandy said families who said they have “nothing to lose” could risk money and “unexpected side effects of a dangerous treatment, and loss of the loved one rather than the gradual deterioration from the disease.”

For Vasse, who said he has been “paralyzed” by depression and anxiety since his wife started to slip away, the prospect of bringing her back is almost worth the risk. He has agreed to wait until Grossberg, her doctor, gives the go-ahead, and said he’d be willing to pay for the drug out of pocket. But, “of course, I’d be burning up money we might need for assisted living,” he said. “It’s a decision we caregivers must make.”

The good thing is there is a wide range of these remedies in the market and the secret to their correct usage is by you consulting a herbologist. Hair Loss Treatment This anxiety over balding has spawned a whole industry of hair loss centres that claim to help restore hair with massage, herbal treatments or other methods. Therefore, there are a million things out there that you can do with best shampoo. These are both great products that are worth a try if you are suffering from hair loss, but remember to talk to your doctor before starting any hair loss product and never use a combination of two or more.

México, DF.- Wikipedia es una plataforma que llegó para revolucionar el mundo de Internet, porque a través de ella se comparte información, que cualquier persona puede ir modificando, ya se agregando o quitando datos. De ahí que sea la Enciclopedia Libre.

Buscando compendiar el mayor conocimiento posible, existen algunas páginas de Wikipedia con información que resulta cómica, aunque esa no sea la intención. El sitio electrónico “listverse.com” hace un recuento.

1. Ringtones del más allá. Phantom ringing, aunque no parezca es tema que desconcierta a muchas personas. Se trata de esa sensación o creencia de escuchar el celular sonar o hasta sentirlo vibrar, cuando el teléfono no está haciendo nada de eso. La sensación puede ser experimentada mientras realizamos actividades cotidianas en las que no tenemos el celular tan cerca y existen ciertos niveles de ruido, como cuando nos bañamos, vemos la tele, etcétera. Los humanos somos sensibles a frecuencias de entre mil y 6 mil Hertz, la frecuencia que se usa en los móviles es difícil de identificar en el espacio, por eso puede causar confusión cuando está a distancia. Así que se cree que escuchar el teléfono cuando éste no está sonando, tiene raíces psicológicas o neurológicas.

2. Panty Raid. Antes de que existiera internet, había que buscar otras maneras de diversión, así que las bromas eran parte de la vida cotidiana. Una de las más memorables es la panty raid, broma en la que estudiantes de universidad roban en calzón de alguna mujer para exponerlo como premio. La broma puede sonar un poco anticuada, pero es que sí es vieja. Su origen es de 1949, y no se trató de la idea de un sólo hombre, pues en la primera de estas bromas participaron 260 jóvenes, aunque fueron arrestados antes de terminarla, pero la noticia recorrió los Estados Unidos y algunos otros estudiantes la imitaron con éxito. Así que podemos decir que la panty raid es una broma clásica. Seguro en alguna cinta americana la has visto.

3. Loveland. Si hay parques temáticos de casi todo lo que podamos imaginar, ¿por qué no habría de existir un parque donde el amor, el sexo y el erotismo sean el tema principal? Ubicado en la isla de Jeju en Corea, este parque, que mide casi dos canchas de futbol, tiene esculturas de posiciones sexuales explícitas y algunas más que también tienen que ver con la sexualidad. Son alrededor de 140 piezas, que desde 2004 esperan a turistas curiosos.

4. Fritz Peterson. Ese es el nombre de uno de los lanzadores de los Yanquis de Nueva York de los setenta, quien protagonizó uno de los escándalos más grandes dentro de la historia de las grandes ligas.

Resulta que el 7 de marzo de 1973, Fritz y Mike Kekich anunciaron que cambiarían esposas. Sí, pero no como el programa de televisión que te imaginas. Los jugadores de béisbol divulgaron que había llegado a un acuerdo, en el que se establecía que intercambiarían familias completas: esposas, hijos, las personas que les ayudaban con los quehaceres de la casa y hasta los perros.

Fue así como las dos parejas tuvieron un divorcio programado en 1972 y luego contrajeron nupcias. Tras anunciar los hechos, se produjo tremendo escándalo. Fue por eso que el 22 de marzo, dos semanas después del anuncio, cuando Fritz salía al montículo (era pitcher), más de 4 mil fanáticos se levantaron de sus sillas para abuchear al jugador; todo en un partido de pretemporada frente los Mets de Nueva York. Los abucheos siguieron en cada partido, así que el acuerdo terminó convirtiéndose en una maldición para los dos jugadores, pues les afectó en el trabajo. Al final ambos se alejaron del béisbol.

5. Witzelsucht. En 1993 se estrenó una película de nombre Grumpy Old Men, donde se mostraba a una vieja pareja de amigos que se la pasaban haciendo bromas. La película logró llamar la atención de las personas sobre Witzelsucht, “la enfermedad del chiste”. Se trata de una tendencia incontrolable por contar chistes, historias, jugar, hacer cosas que el afectado considera intensamente divertidas.

Este padecimiento se relaciona con enfermedades o lesiones en el lóbulo frontal, y las personas mayores son las más propensas a obtenerla, así como aparecía en la cinta, pero la enfermedad puede tener consecuencias graves, como cuenta “informe21.com2.

6. La regla del pene pequeño. La difamación implica que se da a un hecho, persona, producto, empresa, grupo, etcétera, una imagen negativa. Para evadir juicios por difamación, existe la “regla del pene pequeño”, que dice: “para que un retrato de ficción pueda ser procesable, éste debe ser lo suficientemente preciso para que el lector del libro no tenga problema alguno en asimilar ambos. Los abogados tienen lo que se conoce como “la regla de pene pequeño.” Una forma en la cual los autores pueden protegerse de las demandas por difamación, es decir, que un personaje tiene un pene pequeño. “Ningún hombre va a salir adelante y decir: ‘¡Ese personaje con un pene muy pequeño, ese soy yo!””. Explica “ogit42.com”. La regla del pene pequeño tomó relevancia de nuevo cuando en 2006, en una disputa entre Michael Crowley y Michael Crichton, el primero afirmaba que después de haber escrito una reseña que no halagaba mucho la novela State of Fear, del segundo hombre en cuestión, éste mismo difamó al primero, cuando en su segunda novela incluyó un personaje llamado “Mick Crowley”, a quien describía como un violador de niños, periodista graduado de Yale y “con un pene pequeño”.

7. Cabello socialista. En 2004, el gobierno de Corea del Norte dio a conocer un conjunto de normas referentes al aseo personal y a la vestimenta del pueblo. El documento incluía un apartado que decía: “Let’s trim our hair in accordance with the socialist lifestyle”: se establecía que el cabello debe tener un máximo de 1.5 centímetros de longitud, de punta o ligeramente ladeados hacia arriba, aunque los hombres mayores de 50 años tienen “perdón”, pues si se están quedando calvos, pueden dejarse el pelo crecer hasta 7 centímetros con el objetivo de cubrir la calvicie.

De acuerdo con la televisión de aquél país, el pelo largo podría afectar la inteligencia de los hombres, porque éste priva al cuerpo humano de los nutrientes necesarios para que se desarrolle. Así que, como valor socialista, se debe usar el cabello corto. Por eso hay cámaras vigilando si existe algún desalineado. Para facilitarles la norma, se ofrece un corte cada quince días.

8. La broma más graciosa del mundo. El humor es un tema importante, por eso, Richard Wiseman de la Universidad de Hertfordshire, en 2002, utilizó el término “world´s funniest joke” para los resultados de un experimento que consistía en encontrar la broma o el chiste, más gracioso del mundo, el cual traspase culturas, países, ciudades, todo.

Para su investigación, abrió una página web donde la gente votaba por aquellos que les causaran más risa. El resultado fue:

Primer lugar. Dos cazadores se encuentran en el bosque cuando uno de ellos se derrumba. No parece estar respirando y tiene los ojos vidriosos. Su compañero saca el teléfono y llama a emergencias. Jadeando dice: “¡Mi amigo está muerto! ¿Qué hago?”. El operador dice: “Cálmate. Te vamos a ayudar. Primero hay que asegurarnos de que esté muerto”. En eso hay un silencio y luego se escucha un tiro. De regreso al teléfono el hombre dice: “Listo, ahora qué”.

Segundo lugar. Sherlock Holmes y el Dr. Watson se van de campamento; tienden su carpa bajo las estrellas y duermen. De repente, Holmes se despierta y dice: “Watson, mira las estrellas y dime lo que ves”. Watson contesta: “Veo millones y millones de estrellas”. Holmes dice: ¿Y qué deduces de eso? Watson contesta: “Bueno, si hay millones de estrellas y planetas, es probable que exista alguno como la Tierra. Y si hay algunos planetas como la Tierra, también podría haber vida”. A todo esto, Holmes responde: “Watson, ¡idiota! Significa que alguien se robó nuestra casa de campaña.

9. Mondegreen. ¿A quién no le ha pasado? Se trata del, por algunos conocido como, “washuwacheo” de las canciones, eso de que no sabes bien que dicen, pero tú la cantas como si lo supieras. Sin embargo, hay que ser justos, muchas canciones no se entienden. No es nuestra culpa. Bueno, pues mondegreen, es el término referido a entender o escuchar mal la letra de una canción o frase. Un claro ejemplo es la famosa canción “Sopa de Caracol” de Banda Blanca, pues muchos, durante años sólo entendíamos: “watsameniconsú” en el coro, cuando en realidad dice: “What a very good soup”.

10. ¿Hacer del baño sentado o en cuclillas? Aunque no lo creas, una de las páginas más interesantes que puedes encontrar en Wikipedia trata sobre si se debe defecar sentado o en cuclillas. La segunda posición es común en retretes japoneses o cuando hay ausencia de excusados, y la de estar sentado en inodoros occidentales. La postura elegida puede afectar ciertas condiciones de salud y de micción. De hecho hay páginas que promueven la postura de cuclillas, pues así puede haber mayor privacidad; y es que algunas personas creen que hacer sentado quita a las personas la facilidad de vaciar sus intestinos. Otros datos curiosos son: El dinero tóxico, aquél que se encuentra contaminado, con droga. Que alrededor de 15 millones de dólares son destruidos. O la biografía de Michel Lotito, un hombre que se hizo famoso por comerse una tonelada de metal durante toda su vida. Y cómo un ave ocasionó una guerra, etcétera.

1329923672 63 FASHION: Kate Middleton’s coat was great but, for me, the hair’s the mane attraction

SHE CAME, she saw and she shifted a lot of cut-price coats. I’m talking of course about the Duchess of Cambridge who made her first visit to the city this week.

It was Valentine’s Day and Kate sure made Liverpool swoon.

Here in the office we held our collective breath as she stepped out of her car and onto the cobbles of Parr Street. Not least because we had an office sweep on what colour she would be wearing.

As it happens no-one had banked on brown. I had expected a romantic colour to match the day – red, claret, maybe a regal purple. But chestnut definitely worked for her. I thought it made her look like a gorgeous Valentine’s chocolate, good enough to eat.

As we all now know the coat was yet another high street steal, a double-breasted knee-length number, this time from mid-marketers Hobbs.

There must have been yelps of joy in their head office when the photographs started to come in and naturally within an hour of Kate’s arrival in our fair city the coat had sold out online – helped no end by the fact the AW11 design had been slashed from £369 to £182.

It certainly was a very nice coat: classy, warm and suitable for standing around outside in February.

But, if I am honest, I found it hard to concentrate on what Kate was wearing because I was struggling to take my eyes off her hair. Again.

And that is why I was not part of the press pack at The Brink and Alder Hey on Tuesday.

Regular readers of this column will know I am prone to hair obsession – Abbey Crouch, Elle Macpherson and Blake Lively are among past fixations.

Happily I have been able to overcome them, although I do sometimes still stare at pictures of Cat Deeley.

Can you blame me though? Has a beachier blonde ever graced the box? I wonder how many hours in the salon it takes to create such a work of art? Is it extensions or all her own work do you think?

The Duchess of Cambridge, is however, something of a departure for me; she is my first brunette hair obsession.

I am also not the only one fixating on Her Royal Swishyness. Women the world over are walking into salons and begging for big bouncy Kate curls.

In New York it is the most requested style – a “Rachel” cut for the 21st century.

But you can hardly blame us for lusting after Kate’s locks. The future Queen’s crowning glory is almost preternaturally perfect.

That said her hairdresser, celebrity favourite Richard Ward – one half of the duo responsible for her wedding “do” – would have us believe the style is actually quite easy to achieve.

‘The ‘Chelsea Blow Dry’ is a free-flowing sophisticated way to wear long hair,” he says.

A cut with Ward, assuming you can get an appointment, could cost you upwards of £200 but he insists we can do it ourselves at home in 45 minutes. All you need is rollers, a hairdryer, a round brush and some serum.

Oh, and 30 years of good breeding.

Tree Growth program under scrutiny in wake of Poliquin’s enrollment

1329921258 56 Tree Growth program under scrutiny in wake of Poliquin’s enrollment

AUGUSTA, Maine — Every year since 1984, a surveyor from the Nature Conservancy walks the 10-acre coastal property off Ledgemere Road in Georgetown to make sure the landowner isn’t cutting down too many trees.

The annual survey and the tree-cutting provision is enshrined in a deed restriction, part of a 1984 land deal between the Nature Conservancy and Richard and Constance Porter.

When State Treasurer Bruce Poliquin bought the property in 2001, he inherited the restriction. According to Tom Abello, a policy adviser at the Nature Conservancy, Poliquin has honored the terms of his deed. With the exception of a storm blow-down a few years ago, trees have not been removed from the property, Abello said.

The deed restriction appears to conflict with the purpose of Maine’s Tree Growth Tax Program, in which Poliquin enrolled 10 acres in 2004. The 40-year-old tax law is designed to bolster the state’s forest products industry by giving significant tax breaks to landowners in exchange for sustainable, commercial timber harvesting.

The treasurer’s political opponents have highlighted the conflict between the deed restriction and the goals of the Tree Growth program, suggesting that the treasurer has exploited the program as a tax shelter. Members of the group Maine’s Majority, which was first to publicize the issue, are expected to show up at the Georgetown Board of Selectmen meeting Thursday night, Feb. 16, and press town officials about it.

However, no one knows whether Poliquin is honoring the terms of his timber management plan — which is mandatory under the Tree Growth program — except the treasurer himself, who has declined to talk about it.

But he doesn’t have to. Although the Tree Growth program can give a landowner a substantial tax break, the landowner’s forest management plan is confidential, sealed by the Maine Forest Service. And while the Forest Service certifies the plans, it is not involved in enforcing them.

Enforcement falls to town assessors, who can request from the Forest Service technical advice about the Tree Growth program and additional information about management plans. Geoff Herman, with the Maine Municipal Association, which represents Maine towns and cities, said assessors are reluctant to take enforcement steps, despite potentially losing thousands of dollars in property taxes.

“A lot of assessors don’t want to get involved because they’re not foresters, they’re assessors,” Herman said.

Geoff Birdsall, chairman of the Georgetown Board of Selectmen, hinted at another reason towns don’t jump in. Asked whether the Georgetown board planned to ask the Forest Service for details about Poliquin’s management plan, Birdsall said the town would probably wait until 2014 when Poliquin’s 10-year plan is up for review by the state.

“Given the nature of this, I think there would be some retribution if we were to single [Poliquin] out,” Birdsall said. “If we’re going to take a look at Tree Growth, we need to take a look at all of them. We can’t single people out based on personality or political opinions.”

Georgetown has 15 properties enrolled in Tree Growth, Birdsall said. Some landowners, he said, have expressed concern to him that the Poliquin matter would lead to unfair scrutiny of their management plans.

Potential problems with Tree Growth are hardly confined to Poliquin, or to Georgetown. The Legislature each session deals with several bills attempting to change the law or beef up enforcement.

The Legislature’s Taxation Committee on Wednesday unanimously endorsed one such bill. The proposal, sponsored by Senate President Kevin Raye, R-Perry, would direct the Forest Service to perform an annual, random survey of properties in Tree Growth to check for conformance and report to the Legislature. The survey sunsets in 2014.

The bill appears to focus the Forest Service’s efforts on waterfront properties. Raye said this week that’s because most of the complaints he hears about Tree Growth occur in coastal towns where it seems unlikely that a landowner can commercially harvest timber while adhering to shoreland zoning standards.

Landowners exploiting the program, he said, also unfairly push the property tax burden inland on residents with modest homes.

Rep. Seth Berry, D-Bowdoinham, said recently that he was glad the Legislature was taking steps to address the issue, but he worried they may not go far enough.

For example, it remains to be seen whether Raye’s bill addresses an issue raised by Poliquin’s deed restriction: Despite thousands of dollars in potentially lost property tax revenue, no one checked Poliquin’s deed — and its Nature Conservancy cutting restrictions — before he enrolled in the Tree Growth program.

No one is required to.

Town assessors are responsible for administering and signing off on forest management plans. They are not required to check a landowner’s deed for possible restrictions that would make tree harvesting difficult.

Donald Mansius, of the Maine Forest Service, said property deeds — public documents — are not considered by the foresters who certify the plans.

Raye was taken aback when told about Poliquin’s deed restriction and his enrollment in Tree Growth.

“On its face it doesn’t seem to be in the spirit of the Tree Growth program,” Raye said. “That certainly raises eyebrows.”

Numerous attempts by the Sun Journal to get comment from Poliquin over the past two weeks have been unsuccessful.

Abello, with the Nature Conservancy, said his organization has conservation restrictions with many landowners enrolled in Tree Growth, about 250,000 acres statewide. About 185,000 acres of that is along the St. John River where J.M. Huber does frequent commercial harvesting. However, the restrictions on those properties are different from the ones that exist on Poliquin’s.

Advocates of Tree Growth point to the latter as evidence that the program doubles as an economic development and conservation tool.

“I think it’s important to recognize that, for the most part, Tree Growth is very, very successful,” Raye said. “That said, I think it’s important to find out if there are problems with the program, so as not to ruin it for those who are using it properly.”

Woman’s Face Set on Fire During Simple Surgery

1329916458 15 Woman’s Face Set on Fire During Simple Surgery

CLEVELAND — A beautiful young woman underwent what was supposed to be a simple surgery at an outpatient center, but ended up horribly scarred.

Lauren Wargo was a vibrant, 20-year-old college student home for Christmas break when the terrible burn happened.

The surgery was to remove irregular moles from her eyebrow and back, but when she awoke from anesthesia, she heard the nurses telling her parents, “There had been an accident.”

“I remember my dad just crying,” said Lauren, “His reaction to how I looked was terrible.”

The accident was a surgical fire.

For more information on surgical fire prevention and safety, click here or visit SurgicalFire.Org.

After it happened, Lauren’s parents were told she suffered the equivalent of a bad sunburn and her doctor sent her home.

Lauren was in such excruciating pain, her parents removed the bandages and discovered first, second and third degree burns over more than half of her face.

“I asked if my eyebrow was still there and she said that was gonna be the least of my problems,” said Lauren.

With both eyes swollen shut and blisters hanging from her face, the Wargos rushed Lauren to MetroHealth Medical Center’s burn unit where she endured a painful scraping and cleansing procedure.

The treatment was necessary three times a day for several weeks to promote healing.

“They had to remove the dead tissue. I had charred skin on my face,” said Lauren. ”The burn center recommended that I didn’t look at my face right away. My parents covered up all of the mirrors in our house.”

Lauren had always been an outgoing and athletic young girl.

Heavily medicated and suffering tremendous pain, she now worried that she wouldn’t have the same life.

“Of course I cried,” said Lauren, “I was pretty beat up.”

According to the FDA, surgical fires occur an estimated 550 to 650 times each year.

Injuries can range from minor burns to disfigurement and even death.

“They can be caused by a number of things,” said Dr. Wael Barsoun, chairman of surgical operations at the Cleveland Clinic.

Although Lauren’s injuries did not occur at a Cleveland Clinic facility, Dr. Barsoun said, “It is really heartbreaking when we see an incident. I mean we went into medicine to make patients better.”

Dr. Barsoun said there are three consistent elements in what’s called the fire triangle.

They are oxygen, alcohol and an ignition source like a cautery device, which is an electronic tool used to stop bleeding which can spark.

“It’s a good environment for a fire because you have high levels of oxygen and many folks use alcohol as a disinfectant for the skin to sterilize that’s high in alcohol,” said Dr. Barsoun.

Alcohol can pool on the body or saturate hair and surgical drapery.

Dr. Barsoun said taking a time out can help.

“One of the keys if you are using high alcohol based solutions is to wait at least 3 minutes so that all of the alcohol is evaporated,” he explained.

After nine fires occurred over an 18 month time period at the Cleveland Clinic, the Clinic took a proactive approach and increased training for all surgical personal, and they also stopped using alcohol preps altogether.

“We decreased our fires by 80-percent,” said Dr. Barsoun. “And again when I say fire, it is not always a flame. It can be a spark or smoke from an electrical outlet.”

The Clinic is open and transparent about their fires, although in Ohio they don’t have to report anything by law.

Some states track fires but Ohio does not.

In fact, neither the Ohio Dept. of Health nor the Ohio Hospital Association would even talk about the issue on camera with Fox 8 News Reporter Suzanne Stratford.

“We didn’t find out what happened in my case until it went to trial,” said Lauren.

Lauren sued plastic surgeon Dr. Bryan Michelow, who was operating independently at a local outpatient clinic in Beachwood.

She won a large verdict, but the  decision was overturned by the Court of Appeals,  and Dr. Michelow was granted a new trial.

Attorney Doug Leak represented Dr. Michelow during the appeal.

When asked to comment for this story he said, “Since the case is still pending, while Dr. Michelow is awaiting a new trial, he is not at liberty to discuss the facts of the case at this time.”

But Lauren is extremely vocal about her situation.

She has begun working for the non-profit group SurgicalFire.Org, trying making surgical rooms safer.

In October 2011 the FDA released a safety communication to all health care professionals with detailed information on preventing surgical fires, including something as simple as a taking a time out so that the alcohol can dissipate.

Lauren wants the FDA recommendations implemented at all hospitals.

Dr. Barsoun agrees that health care professionals must start talking about prevention.

“The reality is it’s a complicated problem and it is a high risk environment and we really have to help each other to ensure that these types of problems don’t jeopardize our patients,” Barsoun said.

Lauren is now 25-years-old and still healing from the fire.

Her lovely face is permanently scarred, her left eye doesn’t close all of the way and is prone to infection.

She did graduate from college but admits every day is still a struggle.

“Everybody still wonders am I ever gonna get over this, am I ever gonna be normal again. I guess the answer is no but I’ve come so far since then I’m definitely lucky,” Lauren said.

Although Ohio doesn’t require doctors or hospitals to report surgical fires, patients and other medical personnel can report them to the FDA.

Elton has his outrageous Kings clothes, platform heals and some oversized glasses, circa the performer's signature look from 30 years ago.

Amaro's blasts out the beginning of "Respect," the epic pop tune made famous by Aretha Franklin. Amaro gets the last laugh, plunging Elton in the dungeon.

Britain’s most glamorous great-grandmother still insists on a full face of make-up and perfectly coiffed hair every day – at the age of 100.

Polished Marion Williams will not leave the house without perfectly manicured dark red nails, designer jewellery and expertly applied crimson lipstick.

Former professional dancer Marion loves nothing more than a spritz of her favourite perfume, Boudoir by Vivienne Westwood and her Louis Vuitton handbag.

And she even has a uplifting silicone bra in her lingerie drawer, which she asked her daughter to buy for her when she was 95.

Marion – nicknamed ‘The Duchess’ – spends hours shopping for glamorous outfits each week – and has her nails painted and hair done every fortnight.

Her eldest daughter Shirley Hodges, 76, who cares for Marion at her home in Westbury-on-Trym, Bristol, said her mother is ‘simply amazing’.

She said: “My mother just looks incredible. When she was younger people would look to see what she was wearing that day and nothing has changed.

‘Her motto has always been, “if a job is worth doing it is worth doing well’ and she applies that to her appearance even today.

Striking: Aged 21 in 1933, former professional dancer Marion with the finger-waved hair and red lips that were the height of fashion at the time – and are now making a resurgence

‘Last year she asked the dentist if she could have a teeth whitening treatment. She replied “I don’t think you need that” and thought it was hilarious.

‘We started getting worried when she asked for a new bottle of her favourite perfume, Vivienne Westwood Boudoir.

‘When she was 95 she told us she would like a silicone bra and my sister went to the shop and bought one. She told the sales assistant “you’ll never guess who this is for”‘.

Polished: Marion, left, spends hours shopping for glamorous outfits each week, has her nails painted and hair done every fortnight and even owns a push-up bra

‘She looks gorgeous in red lipstick and is still very, very beautiful. When she is out with me people sometimes think she is my sister.’

Centenarian Marion was born Marion Morgan in 1912 and grew up in a pub in Bristol before going on to work as a chorus girl, singer and dancer.

Marion developed a love of costumes and dressing while she was busy attending school and chapel on Sundays and began ballet and tap lessons at the age of five.

She lived through two World Wars and met husband Ted Williams – who was working as a dresser for entertainer Randolph Sutton – while doing panto at Prince’s Theatre, Bristol.

They married in 1933 and went on to have two children, Shirley, now 76 and Andree, now 66. Marion did not work but spent her time looking after her girls.

Marion lived alone in her home in Bristol when husband Ted died in 1989 and only moved out five years ago after falling ill.

She is cared for full time by daughter Shirley, a mother-of-three and Andree, a hairdresser, who trimsand styles her tresses every two weeks.

Shirley added: ‘It is hard looking after mum full time but we do have a few laughs.

‘Every day I put on her moisturiser and foundation. She used to wear eye shadow and mascara very day until about five years ago but she does wear it for special occasions.

‘I have to put her jewellery on every day too, her rings, bracelets and necklaces.

‘She is not like she used to be but she is still incredible. She walked six miles a day until she was 80. The vet said she wore the dog out.

‘Mum keeps me on my toes. I never thought I would be a carer at the age of 76.

Neat as a pin: Even as a young woman, Marion always cared about her appearance and was perfectly turned out

‘She is just so loved by everyone. They all know who she is and tell me how amazing she is for her age.

‘Her secret to a long life is that she has never smoked and never drank. She has the most beautiful hands.’

Marion celebrated her birthday on Sunday with 80 friends and family – including the Lord Mayor – in Bristol.

She received a postcard from the Queen, scarves and ‘countless’ bunches of her favourite flowers, red carnations.

 

I must seem loving. According to some recent studies, there have been a lot of references to coffee as one possible treatment for hair loss, thinning or shedding. Here are a couple of time efficient shortcuts to do it however, I saw a number of depreciation. Perhaps you understand that now. Many individuals take countless health risks just to outperform each other. Nevertheless, We did qualify the statement and also hardly… It is considered normal so that I have been reading concerning hair products online and learned a lot. Buy hair products online is what really makes me happy. Be careful not to apply hair products directly to the scalp and forget to wash it before going to bed. Everyone loses or sheds hair normally, but when more than the normal amount sheds and refuses to regrow, it becomes noticeable. However, there are times that excessive hair loss happens each day which is really quite alarming. The Brazilian keratin treatment is made from top quality keratin and it is a line of deep treating conditioner that will have you and your hair looking like a million dollars. When you take off your wig you should store it on a wood or Styrofoam. There are not enough good best shampoo tips out there. Retane is a topical application that is supposed to stimulate hair growth by "revitalizing" your scalp. When comes down to it I shouldn't avoid this as much as possible. Many natural remedies can be prepared using amla, like boiling pieces of dried amla with coconut oil till amla pieces turn black in color, this mixture can be used as oil for reducing hair loss.
