| New Technologies Tighten Skin From Head To Toe Without Surgery
If sagging skin is getting you down, recent advances in skin-tightening technologies can lift your spirits and your skin in a matter of a few office visits to your dermatologist. The beauty of these non-invasive procedures is their ability to treat loose skin virtually anywhere on the body without the risks and downtime associated with surgery.
Speaking today at the American Academy of Dermatology's Summer Academy Meeting 2007, dermatologist David J. Goldberg, MD, JD, FAAD, clinical professor of dermatology and director of laser research at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, N.Y., discussed the rapidly expanding area of skin-tightening techniques and how they can safely and effectively treat sagging skin on the jowls, neck, arms, and stomach, as well as cellulite.
City woman believes to be suffering from electrical hypersensitivity
Joanne March-Laberge was supposed to be enjoying this phase of her life. A woman who loves people and the outdoors, March-Laberge, 48, was quite content to relax and enjoy all the things Corner Brook has to offer now that her daughter had moved on to university and she had no real direct commitments to speak of. Then suddenly, in November of last year, that carefree lifestyle she sought was abruptly taken away. March-Laberge believes she’s suffering from electrical hypersensitivity (EHS) — a chronic illness triggered by exposure to electromagnetic fields, which are waves of energy emitted by all electrical sources, power lines, appliances and radio/radar/microwave transmitters such as cellphones. Those who develop EHS have a physiological disorder characterized by neurological and idiopathic or allergy-type symptoms.

Laser scans reveal lopsided Lincoln
Artists, sculptors and photographers knew Abraham Lincoln's face had a good side. Now it's confirmed by science.Laser scans of two life masks, made from plaster casts of Lincoln's face, reveal the 16th president's unusual degree of facial asymmetry, according to a new study.The left side of Lincoln's face was much smaller than the right, an aberration called cranial facial microsomia. The defect joins a long list of ailments - including smallpox, heart illness and depression - that modern doctors have diagnosed in Lincoln.Lincoln's contemporaries noted his left eye at times drifted upward independently of his right eye, a condition now termed strabismus. Lincoln's smaller left eye socket may have displaced a muscle controlling vertical movement, said Dr. Ronald Fishman, who led the study published in the August issue of the Archives of Ophthalmology.Severe strabismus leads to double vision and can be treated today by surgery."Lincoln noticed double vision only occasionally and it did not bother him a great deal," said Fishman, a retired Washington, D.C., ophthalmologist and history buff.Most people's faces are asymmetrical, Fishman said, but Lincoln's case was extreme, with the bony ridge over his left eye rounder and thinner than the right side, and set backward.Lincoln's appearance was mocked by his political enemies, historians say.
Jacobsen slowly getting back to swing of things
SUNRIVER T he voice, distinctive and its owner unmistakable, cut through the warm air on Crosswater's par-3 17th hole after an amateur hit a nice-looking tee shot. "Ho! Ho!" said Peter Jacobsen, which is golfspeak for, "Hold the green, hold the green." The ball, which belonged to one of Jacobsen's four partners in Tuesday's pro-am for the Jeld-Wen Tradition, did indeed stay on the green. "That's a good shot," Jacobsen said. Jacobsen engaged all of his partners in banter, read their putts, exchanged knuckle bumps with them and generally was the perfect pro-am partner, which in turn, makes him the perfect Champions Tour player. The 50-and-over tour, which touts itself as fan-friendly, hasn't had such a perfect combination of good player (both of Jacobsen's Champions wins have been majors) and magnetic charisma since the heyday of Chi Chi Rodriguez and Lee Trevino.
