Bioidentical Hormone | Smooth Solutions Medical Aesthetics

Posted: Published on October 22nd, 2015

You may have heard about the dangers of using man-made compounds such as Provera and Premarin to serve as a hormone substitute intended to supplement the hormones that naturally occur in your body. Specifically, the levels of the hormones Progesterone and Estrogen (in women), and Testosterone (in men) tend to decline as you age. However, just because your body isnt making as much doesnt mean that you dont need them! Fortunately there is a safe alternative to these potentially dangerous man-made compoundsBioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, orBHRT. Scary Stuff: Premarin is actually a made form an extract the urine of pregnant mares (as in horses). Yes, this compound contains a human estrogen (estrone). However, it also contains a number of equine (i.e. horse) estrogens that are not found in humans. Consequently, the use of Premarin and Provera together have produced a number of adverse effects such as increased risk of breast cancer, stroke, and heart problems. A Safer Alternative: Bioidentical Hormone Supplements are exactly what their name impliescompounds that are identical to the natural molecules that your body produces. These are not chemicals made from animal waste, rather they are formulated form soy products or yams by pharmacists to match your … Continue reading

Hormone Therapy – ACOG

Posted: Published on October 22nd, 2015

Fact Sheets Menopause is the time in a womans life when she naturally stops having menstrual periods. Menopause marks the end of the reproductive years. The average age of menopause for women in the United States is 51 years. Most women enter a transitional phase in the years leading up to menopause called perimenopause. Perimenopause is a time of gradual change in the levels of estrogen, a hormone that helps control the menstrual cycle. Changing estrogen levels can bring on symptoms such as hot flashes and sleep changes. To manage these symptoms, some women may choose to take hormone therapy. During your childbearing years, monthly changes in the production of two hormonesestrogen and progesteronecontrol your menstrual cycle. These hormones are made by the ovaries. Estrogen causes the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) to grow and thicken to prepare for a possible pregnancy. On about day 14 of your menstrual cycle, an egg is released from one of the ovaries, a process called ovulation. If the egg is not fertilized, no pregnancy occurs. This causes the levels of estrogen and progesterone to decrease, which signals the uterus to shed its lining. This shedding is your monthly period. The signs and … Continue reading

Stem Cells in MS : National Multiple Sclerosis Society

Posted: Published on October 21st, 2015

There are many types of stem cells that are undergoing research and which are producing knowledge about their potential use in treating MS. Many of these studies involve adult mesenchymal (pronounced messENkimmul) stem cells, which are present in many tissues of the body, including bone marrow and fat (adipose tissue). These cells are being tested for their ability both to treat immune disorders and promote tissue repair. Further study is necessary to determine what kind of cells might prove optimal for treating some or all people with MS. Stem cell therapy, even in the controlled setting of a clinical trial, carries the possibility for substantial risks. Anyone who is considering enrolling in a clinical trial should evaluate carefully the potential adverse events that will be outlined in the informed consent form that trial participants must sign. HSCT to Reboot the Immune System: One type of procedure that has been explored for several years in MS is called autologous hematopoietic (blood cell-producing) stem cell transplantation -- or HSCT. This procedure has been used in attempts to reboot the immune system, which is believed to launch attacks on the brain and spinal cord in people with MS. In HSCT, these stem cells … Continue reading

Ulcerative Colitis Causes, Symptoms, Flares, Surgery …

Posted: Published on October 21st, 2015

Ulcerative colitis is long-lasting disease that inflames the lining of the large intestine (the colon) and rectum. Ulcerative colitis usually affects people 15 to 30 years old. People with ulcerative colitis have tiny ulcers and small abscesses in their colon and rectum that flare up periodically and cause bloody stools and diarrhea. Ulcerative colitis is characterized by alternating periods of flare-ups and remission, when the symptoms of the disease disappear. The periods of remission can last from weeks to years. Test Your Colitis IQ Confused by ulcerative colitis (UC)? No surprise there; it can be a bewildering disease, sometimes easily confused with other gastrointestinal troubles. On top of that, symptoms can disappear for months or even years, then return for no apparent reason. New treatments and strategies, though, can help you take control. Test your UC smarts: Are the following statements true or false? 1. Ulcerative colitis is also known as Crohns disease and irritable bowel syndrome. All affect the... Read the Test Your Colitis IQ article > > Inflammation usually begins in the rectum and then spreads to other segments of the colon. How much of the colon is affected varies from person to person.

Gene Therapy and Cell Therapy Defined | ASGCT – American …

Posted: Published on October 20th, 2015

Gene therapy and cell therapy are overlapping fields of biomedical research with the goals of repairing the direct cause of genetic diseases in the DNA or cellular population, respectively. These powerful strategies are also being focused on modulating specific genes and cell subpopulations in acquired diseases in order to reestablish the normal equilibrium. In many diseases, gene and cell therapy are combined in the development of promising therapies. In addition, these two fields have helped provide reagents, concepts, and techniques that are elucidating the finer points of gene regulation, stem cell lineage, cell-cell interactions, feedback loops, amplification loops, regenerative capacity, and remodeling. Gene therapy is defined as a set of strategies that modify the expression of an individuals genes or that correct abnormal genes. Each strategy involves the administration of a specific DNA (or RNA). Cell therapy is defined as the administration of live whole cells or maturation of a specific cell population in a patient for the treatment of a disease. Gene therapy: Historically, the discovery of recombinant DNA technology in the 1970s provided the tools to efficiently develop gene therapy. Scientists used these techniques to readily manipulate viral genomes, isolate genes, identify mutations involved in human diseases, characterize … Continue reading

Eczema and Your Skin | Eczema Types, Symptoms, Causes … – WebMD

Posted: Published on October 20th, 2015

Eczema is a term for a group of medical conditions that cause the skin to become inflamed or irritated. The most common type of eczema is known as atopic dermatitis, or atopic eczema. Atopic refers to a group of diseases with an often inherited tendency to develop other allergic conditions, such as asthma and hay fever. Eczema affects about 10% to 20% of infants and about 3% of adults and children in the U.S. Most infants who develop the condition outgrow it by their tenth birthday, while some people continue to have symptoms on and off throughout life. With proper treatment, the disease often can be controlled. No matter which part of the skin is affected, eczema is almost always itchy. Sometimes the itching will start before the rash appears, but when it does, the rash most commonly appears on the face, back of the knees, wrists, hands, or feet. It may also affect other areas as well. Affected areas usually appear very dry, thickened, or scaly. In fair-skinned people, these areas may initially appear reddish and then turn brown. Among darker-skinned people, eczema can affect pigmentation, making the affected area lighter or darker. In infants, the itchy rash can … Continue reading
