Allergan, the manufacturer of Botox, has released Juvederm XC. Medicis, the manufacturer of Dysport, has released Restylane and Perlane Lidocaine. The new dermal fillers contain lidocaine to provide patients with enhanced comfort during treatment.

“Hyaluronic based dermal fillers used to fill in nasolabial folds and wrinkles as well as for lip augmentation, cause mild discomfort during injection”, comments Dr. Gavin. “The addition of lidocaine to the product will help reduce the mild discomfort.”

Nam Dang, from University of Florida (USA), and colleagues studied extracts of papaya leaf to ascertain the cellular mechanism of action of its potential role in inhibiting the growth of tumor cell lines. The team found that four strengths of papaya leaf extract slowed the growth of ten types of cancer cell cultures, including cancers of the cervix, breast, liver, lung and pancreas. Positing that the papaya may beneficially alter the immune system, the researchers write that: “… papaya leaf extract can mediate a Th1 type shift in human immune system …[Papaya] leaf extract may potentially provide the means for the treatment and prevention of selected human diseases such as cancer.

Nitrosation is a cellular process in which substances in foods and the water are converted into cancer-causing compounds. Earl H. Harrison, from Ohio State University and colleagues developed a new urine test that measures for compounds related to cancer risk while detecting the levels of N-nitrosoproline and N-acetyl-S-allylcysteine, compounds abundantly present in garlic. The team found that the greater the markers of garlic compounds, the less strongly they found the marker for cancer risk. Writing that “3 to 5 grams of garlic supplements inhibited [Nitrosoproline] NPRO [excretion],” a key marker of nitrosation, the researchers observe that: “It is possible that allyl sulfur compounds found in garlic may inhibit nitrosation in humans.” Posted on 2010-03-22 06:00:00 in Cancer | Functional Foods

Previously Mohsen Meydani, from Tufts University (Massachusetts, USA), and colleagues have shown that phenolic antioxidants in oats obstruct the ability of blood cells to stick to artery walls. In new research, the team has found that another oat compound, avenanthramides, decrease the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The study provides additional indications of the potential health benefit of oat consumption in the prevention of coronary heart disease beyond its known effect through lowering blood cholesterol.

Chocolate May Combat Stroke Risk
Posted on 2010-02-25 06:00:00 in Functional Foods | Stroke |
"Rich in flavonoids, a potent type of antioxidant, chocolate has been found by previous studies to beneficially impact the risk of cardiovascular disease. Sarah Sahib, from McMaster University (Ontario, Canada), and colleagues analyzed various studies involving chocolate consumption to ascertain its effects on stroke risk. One study revealed an association with stroke for chocolate consumption once a week as opposed to none per week, with another study suggesting that flavonoid intake from eating chocolate weekly lowered death caused by a stroke. The team concludes that: “Higher flavonoid intake from chocolate sources may be associated with lower incident risk of stroke and stroke-related mortality"
 Great news for us chocolate lovers!, BUT it is not the milk chocolate low in cacao and high in milk fat and sugar. I get a daily dose of 100% organic cacao of 80% concentration.
