Takeuchi T; Uitto J; Bernstein EF Department of Dermatology, Jefferson Institute of Molecular Medicine, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19107, USA. J Invest Dermatol (United States) Apr 1998, 110 (4) p343-7 Increasing evidence demonstrates that ultraviolet A radiation (UVA) contributes to photoaging, which results in the accumulation of massive amounts of abnormal elastic material in the dermis of photoaged skin. To study UVA-induced photoaging in an in vivo system, we utilized a line of transgenic mice containing the human elastin promoter linked to a chloramphenicol acetyl transferase reporter gene. Our prior work demonstrates promoter activation in response to ultraviolet B radiation (UVB), UVA, and psoralen plus ultraviolet A radiation in the skin of these mice. The addition of psoralen (8-MOP) prior to administration of UVA results in substantial increases in promoter activation, as compared with UVA alone. To demonstrate the utility of these mice as a model of UVA-induced photodamage, we administered four lotions to the skin of our transgenic mice that included: a sunscreen containing octyl methoxycinnamate and benzophenone-3 with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15, the UVA filter butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, the SPF 15 sunscreen and the UVA filter together, and the lotion vehicle alone. Following sunscreen administration, mice received a single psoralen plus ultraviolet A radiation treatment. All sunscreens decreased chloramphenicol acetyl transferase activity with the SPF 15 sunscreen , the UVA filter, and the combination SPF 15 sunscreen and UVA filter, resulting in increasing degrees of protection against psoralen plus ultraviolet A radiation. These results demonstrate that this model functions as a rapid and sensitive model of UVA photodamage for the identification and comparison of compounds that protect against UVA-induced photoaging. Complications of laser resurfacing. Methods of prevention and management. Fulton JE Jr Dermatol Surg (United States) Jan 1998, 24 (1) p91-9 BACKGROUND: Modern skin resurfacing began with wire brush surgery. The short-pulse carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers provide an alternative approach for facial rejuvenation. However, the potential for the same complications exist. OBJECTIVES: To review the more common complications, the reasons for their development, and their possible avoidance. METHODS: After pre-op evaluation and skin conditioning, a protocol for resurfacing was followed with standardized settings on the Ultrapulse CO2 laser. On the glabrous skin 300 mJ of energy and 60 W of power were used. On the eyelid skin the settings were reduced to 250 mJ and 50 W. After three passes with the Computer Pattern Generator (CPG), a semi-occlusive dressing was applied for the first 5 days after surgery. Then, a bland petrolatum ointment was applied for an additional 5 days. Finally, a moisturizer with sunscreen or a bleaching cream was used. RESULTS: It was possible at these energy fluences to avoid excessive collagen denaturation and to facilitate wound healing with occlusive dressing. However, complications still occurred. Examples of these are presented in detail. CONCLUSION: Complications can be minimized with patient education, using optimal laser settings, applying occlusive dressings, and recognizing pending problems early. Effectiveness of antioxidants (vitamin C and E) with and without sunscreens as topical photoprotectants. Darr D; Dunston S; Faust H; Pinnell S North Carolina Biotechnology Center, Raleigh, N.C., USA. Acta Derm Venereol (Norway) Jul 1996, 76 (4) p264-8 Considerable interest has been recently generated concerning the use of natural compounds, anti-oxidants in particular, in photoprotection. Two of the best known anti-oxidants are vitamins C and E, both of which have been shown to be somewhat effective in different models of photodamage. Very little has been reported, however, on the effectiveness of a combination of the two (known to be biologically the more relevant situation); nor have there been detailed studies on the ability of these antioxidants to augment commercial sunscreen protection against UV damage. We report that (in swine skin) vitamin C is capable of additive protection against acute UVB damage (sunburn cell formation) when combined with a UVB sunscreen . A combination of both vitamins E and C provided very good protection from a UVB insult, the bulk of the protection attributable to vitamin E. However, vitamin C is significantly better than vitamin E at protecting against a UVA-mediated phototoxic insult in this animal model, while the combination is only slightly more effective than vitamin C alone. When vitamin C or a combination of vitamin C and E is formulated with a commercial UVA sunscreen (oxybenzone), an apparently greater than additive protection is noted against the phototoxic damage. These results confirm the utility of anti-oxidants as photoprotectants but suggest the importance of combining the compounds with known sunscreens to maximize photoprotection. Synergistic topical photoprotection by a combination of the iron chelator 2-furildioxime and sunscreen. Bissett DL; McBride JF Miami Valley Laboratories, Procter & Gamble Company, Cincinnati, OH 45253-8707, USA. J Am Acad Dermatol (United States) Oct 1996, 35 (4) p546-9 BACKGROUND: Iron is a factor in skin photodamage, apparently by way of its participation in oxygen radical production. Certain topical iron chelators are photoprotective. OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to determine the level of topical photoprotection provided by the iron chelator 2-furildioxime (FDO) in combination with sunscreen in short- and long-term photoprotection models. METHODS: Guinea pigs were treated topically with FDO, sunscreen , and a combination of the two and were then exposed to varying doses of UV radiation to determine the sun protection factor (SPF). Hairless mice were treated topically with FDO, sunscreen , and a combination of the two and then subjected to long-term exposure to a suberythemal dose of UV radiation. The mice were evaluated for skin wrinkling and skin tumors. RESULTS: In guinea pigs, topical FDO combined with sunscreen provided more than additive protection; 5% FDO alone provides approximately SPF 4, whereas 5% FDO combined with an SPF 4 sunscreen product yielded an SPF of more than 30. In hairless mice exposed long term to UV radiation, 5% FDO and sunscreen delayed tumor onset by a mean of 8 and 12 weeks, respectively. The combination of FDO and sunscreen delayed tumor onset by a mean of 58 weeks. A similar more than additive level of protection was observed for skin wrinkling. CONCLUSION: Topical FDO combined with sunscreen is a potent photoprotection system against both short- and long-term UV radiation exposure. A review of skin ageing and its medical therapy. Gilchrest BA Department of Dermatology, Boston University School of Medicine, MA 02118, USA. Br J Dermatol (England) Dec 1996, 135 (6) p867-75 Intrinsic (chronological) skin ageing is characterized by atrophy of the skin with loss of elasticity and slowed metabolic activity. The superposition of environmental damage, particularly exposure to ultraviolet radiation (photodamage), on the intrinsic ageing process results, at least initially, in a hypertrophic repair response, with a thickened epidermis and increased melanogenesis. Even more striking changes occur in the dermis: massive elastosis (deposition of abnormal elastic fibres), collagen degeneration, and twisted, dilated microvasculature. Regular use of a sunscreen alone appears to allow some repair as well as protection from further photodamage. Topical tretinoin has been shown to partially reverse the clinical and histological changes induced by the combination of sunlight exposure and chronological ageing. A formulation of tretinoin in an emollient cream (Retinova, Renova), developed specifically for the treatment of photodamaged skin, has been extensively investigated in multicentre, double-blind trials and has been shown to produce significant improvement within 4-6 months of daily use, compared with vehicle alone, as part of a regimen including sun protection and moisturizer use. Histological changes in the epidermis and dermis noted after 12 months suggest tretinoin repairs photodamage by reconstitution of the rete pegs, repair of keratinocyte ultrastructural damage, more even distribution of melanocytes and melanin pigment, deposition of new papillary dermal collagen, and improvements in vasculature. Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) have also been widely used for therapy of photodamaged skin, and these compounds have been reported to normalize hyperkeratinization and increase viable epidermal thickness and dermal glycosaminoglycans content. The single randomized controlled study now available appears to substantiate AHA efficacy and safety. In summary, recent work has substantially elucidated the ageing processes that affect the skin and has demonstrated that many of the unwanted changes can be improved by topical therapy. (50 Refs.) Sun exposure and skin disease. Taylor CR; Sober AJ Department of Dermatology, Harvard University, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston 02114, USA. Annu Rev Med (United States) 1996, 47 p181-91 Sunlight exposure produces a variety of adverse cutaneous effects. Erythema, photosensitivity, and immunologic alterations represent acute events, whereas photoaging and carcinogenesis are long-term consequences. These adverse cutaneous sequelae can be minimized by photoprotection in the form of sun avoidance, regular cover-up with clothing, and sunscreen application. This chapter reviews the diagnosis and treatment of sun-related skin disorders and recommendations for reducing photodamage. (40 Refs.) Current concepts. Photoprotection. Kaminester LH Department of Dermatology and Cutaneous Surger, University of Miami (Fla), USA. Arch Fam Med (United States) May 1996, 5 (5) p289-95 Photoprotection encompasses all methods to prevent UV radiation (UVR) damage to the skin, including sunscreens, clothing, seeking shade, and duration and time of the day spent outdoors under UVR. As scientific research validates short- and long-term detrimental effects of UVR, physicians and the public must become increasingly aware of these problems to avoid them. Photoaging is defined. Choice of sunscreens, their Food and Drug Administration labeling, and future sunscreen products are reviewed. Hazards of UVR on the skin include acute sunburn, photocarcinogenesis, immunologic suppression, and photoaging. Distinguishing between UV-A and UV-B damage to the skin is discussed. Education of physicians and their patients is crucial to reduce future photodamage to our population, especially with a reduction of the ozone layer and with patients having more free time. The complete skin examination is emphasized as a method to detect photodamaged skin and give patients insight to provide themselves with future photoprotection. A summary of advice for patients is provided for physicians to give to their patients. (135 Refs.) The effects of chronic sunscreen use on the histologic changes of dermatoheliosis Boyd AS; Naylor M; Cameron GS; Pearse AD; Gaskell SA; Neldner KH Department of Medicine, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN 37232-5227, USA. J Am Acad Dermatol (United States) Dec 1995, 33 (6) p941-6 BACKGROUND: Sunscreen application to the skin of hairless mice is effective in reversing the histologic changes associated with photoaging (solar elastosis, epidermal thickening, collagen depletion, glycosaminoglycan deposition). These reparative processes have not been studied in human beings. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate histologically the effects of daily application of a UVA/UVB sunscreen versus placebo. METHODS: We examined 46 patients who were given either sunscreen or vehicle and asked to apply it daily for 24 months. Punch biopsy specimens were obtained from preauricular skin at 0, 12, and 24 months. Each specimen was examined for epidermal thickening and organization and dermal inflammatory infiltrate by light microscopy. Computer-generated analysis of tissue sections was used to evaluate solar elastosis. RESULTS: A significant difference in solar elastosis was found between the treatment groups; however, the other features remained largely unchanged. CONCLUSION: The dermal changes of photoaging may be affected differently than epidermal changes when UV radiation exposure is diminished. UVA and UVB may contribute diversely to these cutaneous changes. Computer-generated evaluation of dermatoheliosis may be more accurate than visual inspection. Effect of a conjugated oestrogen (Premarin) cream on ageing facial skin. A comparative study with a placebo cream. Creidi P; Faivre B; Agache P; Richard E; Haudiquet V; Sauvanet JP Service de Dermatologie I, Centre Hospitalier et Universitaire, Hopital Saint-Jacques, Besancon, France. Maturitas (Ireland) Oct 1994, 19 (3) p211-23 The effects of Premarin cream on ageing facial skin were studied in a randomised, double-blind, parallel group study. Fifty-four women aged 52-70 years who had moderate to severe facial cutaneous ageing, applied 1 g of either Premarin cream (0.625 mg conjugated oestrogens per gram of cream), or placebo cream (same composition with the exclusion of conjugated oestrogens) to the face nightly for 24 weeks. Each morning these women protected their face with a sunblock SPF 15. Skin thickness was measured by B-scan ultrasonic echography, and skin microrelief by profilometry. Each subject's facial appearance was also evaluated by the subject herself and by the clinician. A statistically significant difference (P = 0.013) in favour of Premarin cream was detected in skin thickness at week 24. Skin thickness (dermal plus epidermal) for the women who used Premarin cream increased from 1.56 +/- 0.20 mm at baseline to 1.68 +/- 0.19 mm, compared with 1.52 +/- 0.20 mm at baseline to 1.59 +/- 0.19 mm in the placebo group. Premarin cream was also significantly more effective than placebo cream in improving fine wrinkles according to the results at weeks 12 and 24 (P = 0.010 and P = 0.012, respectively). Significant improvement from baseline was detected in both groups for roughness, laxity and mottled pigmentation and/or lentigines; however, there was no significant difference in these parameters between the two treatment groups. No subjects discontinued treatment for a safety reason. In conclusion, Premarin cream produced better results than the placebo cream; the difference was statistically significant for skin thickness and fine wrinkles. Premarin cream was well tolerated locally, and its general safety was good. Sunbathing: college students' knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of risks. Vail-Smith K; Felts WM Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Safety Program, East Carolina University, Greenville, North Carolina. J Am Coll Health (United States) Jul 1993, 42 (1) p21-6 This study assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of college students regarding intentional sun exposure (sunbathing). Results are based on responses of 296 Caucasian students to the Sun and Skin Inventory. Frequent sunbathers were more likely than infrequent sunbathers to be women and to report fewer self-perceived risk factors, and were less likely to use sunscreen . They were also more likely to believe that they look better with a tan, that suntanned skin is more attractive, and that suntans look healthy. Forty-three percent of the female respondents and 61% of the men rarely, if ever, used sunscreens, and only 9% of all respondents reported they used sunscreens with every intentional sun exposure of 30 minutes or longer. These results suggest that concern with attractiveness appears to be a major motivation for frequent intentional sun exposure. Consequently, educational strategies that stress health outcomes only may be less effective than those that also stress photoaging, the detrimental cumulative effect to appearance of suntanning. Photoaging and the skin. The effects of tretinoin. Green LJ; McCormick A; Weinstein GD Department of Dermatology, University of California, Irvine. Dermatol Clin (United States) Jan 1993, 11 (1) p97-105 The appearance of photoaged skin is cosmetically unacceptable to many in our society. Ostensibly, avoidance of ultraviolet light and sunlight from early childhood is most desirable but not likely to happen in our culture. Tretinoin is the only pharmacologic compound shown to partially reverse some signs of photoaging. Improvement with tretinoin therapy has been quantified clinically and histologically. A major degree of improvement occurs in 6 to 12 months, and maintenance treatment one to three times per week may continue this response. Tretinoin therapy should optimally be used with daily moisturizer and sunscreen applications. Psychosocial benefits of tretinoin therapy, use of tretinoin for intrinsically aged or non-Caucasian skin, and higher-strength tretinoin therapy for severely photoaged skin need to be further explored. It is possible that some subsets of patients with photoaged skin may respond better than others. (25 Refs.) In vivo evaluation of photoprotection against chronic ultraviolet-A irradiation by a new sunscreen Mexoryl SX. Fourtanier A; Labat-Robert J; Kern P; Berrebi C; Gracia AM; Boyer B L'OREAL, Laboratoire de Recherche Fondamentale, Aulnaysous-bois, France. Photochem Photobiol (England) Apr 1992, 55 (4) p549-60 In a previous study on the hairless mouse it was shown that sub-erythemal doses of pure UV-A enhanced the numerous changes normally observed during chronological aging. A new sunscreen (a bis-benzylidene campho sulfonic acid derivative) has been synthesized in our research laboratory (lambda max: 345 nm, epsilon: 47,000). Its photoprotective properties against UV-A induced damages were assessed in our mouse model. Three month old albino hairless mice were exposed for 1 y to suberythemal doses (35 J/cm2) of UV-A obtained from a xenon source filtered through a WG 345 filter. One group of animals was exposed untreated, the other received a formulation containing 5% of the sunscreen prior to irradiation. At the end of the study the cutaneous properties of protected mice were compared to those of unprotected animals and to 3 and 15 month old unirradiated controls. We found that the visible changes induced by UV-A irradiation were mainly sagging and wrinkling. Histological and electron microscopic alterations consisted of hyperkeratosis, increased density of elastic fibers with alteration of fiber orientation and increased glycosaminoglycan deposits. Biochemical changes consisted of decreases in total collagen and collagen hydroxylation and increases in both collagen III/I + III ratio and fibronectin biosynthesis. All these changes were reduced or abolished by the sunscreen . Photoprotective effects of sunscreens in cosmetics on sunburn and Langerhans cell photodamage. Elmets CA; Vargas A; Oresajo C Department of Dermatology, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio. Photodermatol Photoimmunol Photomed (Denmark) Jun 1992, 9 (3) p113-20 It has become common practice to add sunscreening agents of variable potency to cosmetics to protect against the adverse effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure. The purpose of this study was to determine whether cosmetic preparations containing sunscreening agents protected against the adverse effects of acute UV radiation exposure and, if so, to identify the components responsible for the photoprotective effects. Pretreatment of skin with one such cosmetic product provided complete protection against UV-induced erythema, sunburn cell formation and Langerhans cell damage in volunteers, skin types II and III, whose skin was exposed to a 1.5 minimal erythema dose daily for 4 consecutive days. When individual components of the cosmetic preparation were analyzed for their photoprotective activities, it was found that both the cinnamate and benzophenone sunscreen combination and an extract of baker's yeast present in the preparation had photoprotective properties. These studies indicate that incorporation of photoprotective agents into cosmetic preparations provides a beneficial function and should therefore be encouraged. Experience with tretinoin therapy in temperate regions. Caputo R; Monti M; Rigoni C; Pinelli S; Motta S; Barbareschi M First Department of Dermatology and Paediatric Dermatology, University of Milan, Italy. Br J Dermatol (England) Sep 1992, 127 Suppl 41 p51-3 In a previously reported study on the anti-photoageing effects of topical tretinoin, the following regimen produced good patient compliance: 0.01% for 1 month, 0.025% for 1 month; and 0.05% for 4 months. The majority of patients (60/89) enrolled in the initial study continued to apply the cream to the face, and a further 140 patients were enrolled for a long-term study (mean duration 2 years). The prolonged study showed that 91.4% of patients used tretinoin in an attempt to slow down skin aging , and 8.6% sought subjective skin benefits. Of the 163 patients who completed the study, 58.8% sought an improvement of wrinkles, 30.1% skin trophism and 14.7% reduced pigmentation. The product was used throughout the year by 66.9% of patients, but 8.0% stopped using it during the summer. A daytime moisturizing cream was required by 77.9% of patients, and 82.8% used a sunscreen in the summer. Tretinoin was applied to other areas of the body by 63.8% of patients. Facial moisturizers and wrinkles. Jackson EM Dermatol Nurs (United States) Jun 1992, 4 (3) p205-7 Facial moisturizers are part of the cosmetic category known as skin care products, which also includes other facial products such as astringents, toners, soaps, and bath products. This article describes the composition and pharmaceutics of currently marketed moisturizers, the use of fragrances and preservatives in these products, how cosmetic facial moisturizers work on wrinkles, sunscreen -containing facial moisturizers, and the Food and Drug Administration's record regulating drug claims for anti-wrinkling products. Sunscreens with low sun protection factor inhibit ultraviolet B and A photoaging in the skin of the hairless albino mouse. Harrison JA; Walker SL; Plastow SR; Batt MD; Hawk JL; Young AR Photobiology Unit, United Medical School of Guy's Hospital, University of London, United Kingdom. Photodermatol Photoimmunol Photomed (Denmark) Feb 1991, 8 (1) p12-20 We examined the chronic effect of long daily suberythemal, fluorescent solar-stimulated radiation (FSSR; ultraviolet B (UVB)+A(UVA)) and UVA alone on female Skh-1 hairless albino mouse skin. Mice were dorsally irradiated 8 h every weekday for 16 weeks with FSSR or UVA, or 32 weeks with UVA alone. Various topical, low concentration, UVB and/or UVA sunscreens were applied before irradiation. Damage was assessed by skin-fold thickness, histology and biochemically by changes in the proportion of type III collagen. All FSSR-exposed mice showed increased skin thickening, elastic fibre hyperplasia, collagen damage and an increased proportion of type III collagen. Application of the UVB sunscreen (2.00%) resulted in marked protection for all nonbiochemical endpoints. There was no obvious advantage of adding 0.75% UVA sunscreen to the UVB sunscreen , but adding 2.00% UVA sunscreen reduced biochemical changes and connective tissue damage. Sixteen weeks of UVA irradiation caused skin thickening and laxity but the histology and biochemistry were indistinguishable from the controls. The mice irradiated with UVA for 32 weeks showed slight elastic fibre hyperplasia and collagen damage histologically, and increased skin thickening and laxity; these changes were unmodified by the 0.75% UVA sunscreen. These mice showed a significant increase in the proportion of type III collagen against which the UVA sunscreen offered protection. Our data suggest that UVA may be important in photoaging and that the use of low sun protection factor UVB+ UVA sunscreens on a day-to-day basis may offer some protection from solar photoaging. Time-dependent decrease in sunscreen protection against chronic photodamage in UVB-irradiated hairless mouse skin. Bissett DL; McBride JF; Hannon DP; Patrick LF Procter and Gamble Co., Miami Valley Laboratories, Cincinnati, OH 45239-8707. J Photochem Photobiol B (Switzerland) Jun 1991, 9 (3-4) p323-34 To determine the time dependence of sunscreen protection against chronic photodamage in hairless mice, the time was varied (0-8 h) between topical sunscreen treatment and UVB radiation exposure. Sunscreen products with labeled sun protection factor (SPF) values of 2, 4 and 8 were evaluated; these values were verified in a guinea pig model for SPF determinations. When applied immediately prior to UVB radiation exposure, these sunscreen products were very effective in prevention of skin wrinkling and tumor formation. Onset of photodamage was delayed, the delay being greater with higher SPF values. However, the sunscreen actives were rapidly lost from the skin surface, and their protective effect diminished strikingly as the time between treatment and irradiation increased. For daily protection against chronic photodamage, this suggests a need for photoprotectants with greater substantivity to achieve a high level of protection throughout the day. Sunscreens and the prevention of skin aging. Lowe NJ University of California, Los Angeles School of Medicine. J Dermatol Surg Oncol (United States) Oct 1990, 16 (10) p936-8 It has been well established in both human and animal skin that ultraviolet radiation from both ultraviolet B (UVB) (290 nm-320 nm) and ultraviolet A (UVA) (320 nm-420 nm) can produce profound changes in the skin that with recurrent exposure, cause it to become what we recognize as photoaged skin. Experimental studies in animals have confirmed that some sunscreen chemicals are capable of providing protection against ultraviolet-induced photoaging. It is presumed that regular use of these effective sunscreens will also reduce skin aging changes in humans. (14 Refs.) Photosensitivity in the elderly. Hawk JL Photobiology Unit, St Thomas's Hospital, London, U.K. Br J Dermatol (England) Apr 1990, 122 Suppl 35 p29-36 Photosensitivity to drugs and chemicals in the elderly is more prevalent due to more frequent use of medications. Phototoxic reactions to common, orally administered drugs such as diuretics, cardiac agents and antidiabetics may occur and the reactions may be remedied by discontinuing drug therapy. Photocontact dermatitis due to the ingredients in sunscreens or other agents, such as perfumes, may also arise. Diagnosis is often confirmed by photopatch testing and subsequent avoidance of these agents leads to gradual resolution. Idiopathic photodermatoses, such as sunlight-induced polymorphic light eruption or solar urticaria, may occur and persist from an early age and, in elderly subjects, they can cause mild to marked disability. The most disturbing disorder of this type is the severe, widespread eczematous chronic actinic dermatitis, which can be difficult to diagnose. Porphyrias, such as variegate porphyria or erythropoietic protoporphyria, may persist from an early age, whereas porphyria cutanea tarda generally begins in later life. Porphyrias all have specific clinical and biochemical features and, apart from variegate porphyria, usually respond well to treatment following diagnosis. Exposure of elderly skin to sunlight may also cause deterioration of many ordinary dermatoses, particularly seborrhoeic eczema, which generally respond to protection from UV exposure and to treatment of the underlying abnormality. Progress in identifying the underlying causes, the availability of increasingly sophisticated diagnostic techniques, and improvements in sunscreen preparations and therapeutic medications will probably significantly reduce abnormal photosensitivity in the elderly in the near future. (44 Refs.) Senescence and sunscreens Young AR Institute of Dermatology, United Medical School of Guy's Hospital, London, U.K. Br J Dermatol (England) Apr 1990, 122 Suppl 35 p111-4 The most reliable way to reduce the chronic effects of solar UV radiation is to limit exposure. Animal data using hairless albino mice suggest that the routine use of sunscreens, which usually act as UVB (280-315 nm) filters, may prevent or inhibit skin photocarcinogenesis and photoageing in man. Conditions of chronic use of sunscreens in human skin, however, are not established but it is possible that, under some circumstances, sunscreen use could enhance skin cancer risk. The use of sunscreens may prevent or inhibit both sun-induced cancers and photoageing, but as yet there is no established method of designating the efficacies of sunscreens for the prevention of the chronic effects of solar UV radiation. This is an important research objective. (31 Refs.) Drug treatment of photoaged skin Griffiths C.E.M. Prof. C.E.M. Griffiths, Section of Dermatology, Phase II, Hope Hospital, Eccles Old Road, Salford M6 8HD United Kingdom email@example.com Drugs and Aging (New Zealand) 1999, 14/4 (289-301) Although the prevention of skin aging is a holy grail of the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, this venture may be misplaced. The predominant clinical and biochemical features of aged skin are mostly attributable to photoaging rather than chronology. For instance chronic sun exposure is the major determinant of age spots (actinic lentigines) and wrinkles. Surgical approaches to the treatment of photoaging include face-lift, dermabrasion, chemical peeling, collagen and botulinum toxin injections, and laser re-surfacing. These approaches all have benefit and improve the clinical features of facial photoaging. Drug or pharmaceutical prevention and treatment of photoaged skin is still in its infancy. The main pharmaceutical approach to prevention of photoaging lies in the assiduous use of sunscreens. Recent evidence points to the importance of ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation as well as ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation in the aetiology of photoaging and thus the need fur sunscreens that block both UVB and UVA. Drug treatment of photoaged skin can be categorised as antioxidants, alpha-hydroxy acids and topical retinoids. Of these 3 approaches only topical retinoids, particularly tretinoin (all-trans retinoic acid), have a well documented ability to repair photoaged skin at the clinical, histological and molecular level. Furthermore, the use of topical retinoids may actually prevent photoaging. The current interest in pharmaceutical modulation of the photoaging process has attracted considerable research into the mechanisms of photoaging and cutaneous aging. It is likely that treatment for, or prevention of, the chronological aging process may result from such research. Molecular mechanisms of cutaneous aging: Connective tissue alterations in the dermis Uitto J.; Bernstein E.F. Dr. J. Uitto, Dept. of Dermatol./Cutaneous Biolgy, Jefferson Medical College, Bluemle Life Sciences Building, 233 S. 10th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107-5541 United States Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings (United States) 1998, 3/1 (41-44) Cutaneous aging is a complex biological phenomenon consisting of two distinct components, (a) the intrinsic, genetically determined degenerative aging processes and (b) extrinsic aging due to exposure to the environment, also known as 'photoaging'. These two processes are superimposed in the sun- exposed areas of skin, with profound effects on the biology of cellular and structural elements of the skin. This overview summarizes our current understanding of the mechanisms of innate versus extrinsic aging with emphasis on connective tissue alterations, primarily collagen and the elastic fiber network. We also introduce a novel transgenic mouse model, expressing a human elastin promoter-reporter gene construct, suitable for studies on biology and preventive pharmacology of the cutaneous aging. The role of cosmetology and the aesthetic within dermatology in Spain Torras H. H. Torras, Servei Dermatologia, Hospital Clinic Provincial, Villarroel 170, 08036 Barcelone Spain Nouvelles Dermatologiques (France) 1998, 17/4 (249-252) Cosmetology is the science of art of treating and improving the appearance of healthy skin. It is almost as old as humanity. Until a few years ago, dermatology was only concerned with skin pathology. Cosmetology was mostly chemical, it was concerned with the formulation of products for modifying an aesthetic defect or improving the appearance of ski. At that time, communication between dermatology and Cosmetics was quite limited. Today, 'Cosmetic dermatology' is concerned with skin problems that are expression of a skin dysfunction. So who must take care of skin aging caused by the sun protection or seborrheic or dry skin? The logical answer is the dermatologist. During the last 20 years, the number of dermatologists in Spain has doubled, and this is one of the reasons for the increase in cosmetic dermatology prescriptions. In 1973, 'cosmeceuticals' for the skin represented 30% of total OTC products. In 1993 this percentage rose to 64.7% or more than double. The recent evolution of Cosmetic dermatology and the growing interest shown by dermatologists are demonstrated by several facts: - they often prescribe skin care for normal skin, which was rare 20 years ago; - they make a more precise evaluation of skin type; - they are more interested in Cosmetics and skin aging treatments; - there are more prescriptions for 'cosmeceutical lines'. In the future, socioeconomic progress shall increase the development of new products. European countries will show a progressive increase in homogenization, but certain national differences, specific to the culture of each country or region, will remain. The study on the ultraviolet-B blocking effect of sunscreens in the epidermal Langerhans cells of hairless mice Won Y.H.; Yoo Y.E.; Lee S.C.; Kim Y.P.; Chun I.K. Department Dermatology, Chonnam University Medical School,Kwangju 501-757 South Korea Annals of Dermatology (South Korea) 1995, 7/4 (288-294) Background: Sunscreens have been used widely to prevent the photosensitive skin diseases, skin cancer, and skin aging . However, no sunscreen blocks all kinds of effects caused by ultraviolet light(UVL), and the effect of sunscreens on the impairment of immune function by UVL irradiation is controversial. Objective: We try to evaluate the efficiency of sunscreens for blocking the depletion of LC induced by UVB irradiation. Method: The ATPase positive LCs were observed in the skin of hairless mice(Hr+/Kud) irradiated by UVB with or without topical application of sunscreens. Two commercially available sunscreens with respective SPF 8 and SPF 30 were applied to the dorsal trunk skin. The mice were irradiated with different increasing doses of UVB at a single time. Results: The ATPase positive LCs in the irradiated dorsal and ear skin were significantly decreased in densities according to the dosage, and apparently revealed a loss of their dendrites, granulation, and clumping from a UVB dose of more than 60mJ/Cmsup 2. With both sunscreen treatment on the dorsal trunk before irradiation, the densities of LCs on the dorsal skin were significantly higher compared to the untreated groups at all ranges of UVB doses in spite of a dose dependent decrease in their density. However there was no significant difference on their preventive effect between both sunscreens(SPF 8 and SPF 30) except at high UVB doses of more than 240 mJ/Cmsup 2. Conclusion: The LC depletion induced by UVB can be partially protected through the topical application of a sunscreen at a UVB dose dependent fashion. However SPF(sun protective factor) dose not appear to be a good indicator for evaluating sunscreens immunologically.

Cter., Faculty Med.,Haifa 31096 Israel Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (Netherlands) 1995, 4/3 (260-266) Objective. There is accumulating evidence that in spite of the large campaigns against excessive solar exposure undertaken by dermatologists worldwide, children and adolescents are still spending long periods in the sun, and do not follow the recommended sun protection guidelines. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate sun exposure in a group of young Israeli adults and to compare it to their knowledge and application of the various sun protection methods. Methods. 202 Caucasian volunteers, (mean age 21.4 +/- 2.6), filled out detailed questionnaires on their sun exposure and sun protection habits. Results. More than 80% of our study participants are regularly sun exposed for longer than 2 h per day whereas sunscreens are utilized only by 64.9%. Sunscreen use was significantly more prevalent in females than males (81.3% vs. 46.5%). The majority of sunscreen users and nonusers believed that sunscreen could prevent skin cancer (94.3% and 82.0%, respectively) and that these compounds can slow skin aging (90.8% and 76.4% respectively). The understanding of the meaning of the 'SPF' was significantly higher in the sunscreen users (85%) than in the nonusers (62.0%). The majority of sunscreen users utilized less than 150 ml of the compound per year which is probably an inadequate amount for a year for full body protection. The two most common reasons for-not using sunscreens regularly; were that the application is time consuming, and that sunscreens prevent tanning. Conclusion. Our data reveals a discrepancy between a considerably good understanding of the need for sun protection and the still deficient application of these measures especially in young adult males.

How to make TOR Browser Bundle work as root
Subject description: TOR--run the browser bundle as root!
I found a way to make the latest Tor Browser Bundles work with versions of puppy that use root as the default user (I used Precise 5.4.2), that is easy and straightforward:
Download the appropriate (32 or 64 bit) Tor Browser Bundle from the Tor Project website
Extract the files to whatever directory you want.
Open the "tor-browser_en-US" directory, then right click on "start-tor-browser" and select "open as text". Scroll down until you find this piece of error output code:
if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then
complain "The Tor Browser Bundle should not be run as root. Exiting."
exit 1
Delete the above code, then save your changes to the file. Now execute the file as root (just left click). For me, this simple change allows Tor to be run as root without any problems. Try it and see if it works for you.
I've been banging my head against the wall for ages trying to figure out how to download and use the most up to date versions of TOR privacy/anonymity software with my various versions of Puppy over the years. It seemed that as soon as someone posted a .pet they'd made of the latest TOR package, TOR issued some dire warning that everyone needed to upgrade NOW to the different version to avoid newly discovered security flaws.
Well, I was invariably disappointed when my newly download GNU/Linux TOR browser bundles (they work with ALL linux distro's....simply unpack and run!) said "you shouldn't be running as root...exiting". My subsequent compilation efforts of the TOR source code using the .devx sfs's on earlier versions of Puppy always ran into a quagmire of dependencies that also needed compiling--a never ending rabbit hole of confusing layers of dependencies.
When that failed, I researched how to create/login as different users in Puppy (Fido, Spot) and tried downloading the TOR browser bundles and running them as Fido or Spot, but there were always errors that prevented Vidalia from communicating with TOR because some files had permissions that were set when the file was download through the root user etc...ad naseum.
Basically, never ending obstacles to what should have been a simple fix. Little did I know, it actually was.
So finally, I just opened up the "start-tor-browser" file inside the "tor-browser_en-US" directory in a text editor and sat down and read all of the error messages and the logic behind them. What I discovered was this:
if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then
complain "The Tor Browser Bundle should not be run as root. Exiting."
exit 1
What it's saying is this: "if the user id (id -u) equals 0 (0=root), then send this nasty message and exit the program."
I thought, "well, they say the Tor Browser Bundle SHOULD NOT be run as root, not that it WILL NOT RUN as root...what if I just delete this line of code and try executing the file again?"
WALLAH! Tor initialized, Vidalia opened and the secure firefox browser appeared. It was a seeming miracle.
I understand the desire of the Tor Project people to make Tor more accessible to everyone, but their supposedly user-freindly, no-set-up-required GNU/Linux browser bundle was severely biased against being used by the large community of Puppy linux users. Sure running as root can be dangerous, but if you're concerned about your privacy and booting from a live cd without saved sessions on an HD, running as root is very safe. They should display a warning about running as root, but then allow it to be overridden by simply checking a box that says "I understand the risks".
Try it and post your results!

Works great in Slacko 5.4 on a bootable USB drive....and since it's in /mnt/home does not take up space in the save file.
Now, it would be great to be able to do SSH over TOR ....

Runs just fine on Dpup Exprimo 5.X.3.4.12.
Not without a warning, though . . .
But the tonality of the warning is amicable and permissive, I should say.
Thank you, Cryrogenica.

You do your time on the treadmill, hoist some weights, and maybe even throw in yoga for good measure. But your regimen probably lacks one key element: power. Besides torching extra stored fat and quickly sculpting your muscles, power moves give you a mental edgeŁ -- in and out of the gym. So we tapped six of the top trainers in the biz for their surefire tips for squeezing that extra octane from your muscles and workouts. They will change the way you train forever.
At Peak Performance, the private New York City gym that Joe Dowdell co-owns, it's the deceptively simple-looking equipment, like sandbags and Prowler sleds, that will make your heart pound and your muscles burn. High tech doesn't necessarily mean fast results, and Dowdell is known for getting results, whether from A-list stars (he's worked with Anne Hathaway and Eva Mendes), pro athletes, or supermodels. The common denominator? They all focus on strength work more than cardio. "Don't make the mistake of thinking that training for power will make you bulky," Dowdell says. "It's not true. Some of the women with the best physiques train that way."
"One of the best things women can do for themselves mentally is to get physically stronger and more powerful," Dowdell says. "It will have an impact on everything you do."
Power Principles
Carve your core. "The weaker your core is, the less power you'll be able to generate," Dowdell says. Try his Stirring the Pot center strengthener: With your toes on the floor and elbows bent 90 degrees, rest your forearms on a stability ball, abs tight and body straight. Keeping your body still, use your arms to roll the ball in 10 small clockwise circles, then 10 counterclockwise.
Prioritize your workout. "Always do your power -- that is, explosive -- moves before your normal strength exercises," Dowdell says. "Because they're more neurologically challenging, you want to be at your freshest for them."
Stick the landing. "Before you jump really high, learn how to decelerate, because that's where people often get injured," Dowdell says. Start by hopping from the floor onto a 6- to 12-inch-high platform. Once you feel comfortable landing in a stable way, nix the box.

No matter what your level, you can add power moves into your routine with this quick total-body circuit from Joe Dowdell, co-owner of Peak Performance. You'll just need a weighted ball (heavy enough to make 10 reps of the moves challenging) and a sturdy step -- and, for more advanced exercisers, a solid gym wall. Or try his anyone-can-do-it interval workout. Walk, bike, run, skate -- choose whatever cardio you like!

It's fitting that Jeanette Jenkins' company is called the Hollywood Trainer. When she's not putting celebs like Queen Latifah, Pink, and Paula Patton through their paces, she's putting out workout DVDs, like her latest, Sexy Abs with Kelly Rowland & Hollywood Trainer Jeanette Jenkins. Known for taking an eclectic, cross-training approach to fitness -- weights, cardio, kickboxing, Pilates, yoga, you name it -- Jenkins' success comes from continually challenging her clients to do more. "So many people don't ever come close to realizing their true physical potential," Jenkins says. "Power means having the mental strength to push yourself to your limit."
"Start a habit of working harder for part of every session," Jenkins says. "To see big results, you have to get comfortable being uncomfortable."
Power Principles
Channel Flo Jo. "A favorite move I use is Sprint on the Spot," Jenkins says, a nod to the world's fastest woman, Florence Griffith Joyner. "You don't need a treadmill; simply sprint in place for 15 to 30 seconds, pumping your arms and raising your knees high."
Man up. "The most empowering thing for a woman to be able to do is push and pull her own body weight," Jenkins says. "Do push-ups from your toes instead of your knees, even if it's only two, and add reps from there. Then aim to do a pull-up. Start with the Gravitron machine and lat pull-downs in the gym, then have a pal spot you on the pull-up bar."
Mind your power portions. "For experienced exercisers, make plyometric moves like burpees and jump kicks about a quarter of your circuit," says Jenkins, who demonstrates the meaning of plyo here. "They're great for toning, but limiting the number you do will keep you from overtraining or getting injured."

Trainer-to-the-stars Jeanette Jenkins says her clients love it when she adds high-intensity moves to their routine. To make it more fun and help them visualize exercises, she also incorporates sports-oriented drills. She gave us five of her favorite oomph-building sculptors to rev up your routine. Just one caveat, says Jenkins: Any exercisers who may be overweight should skip the jumps -- she recommends against doing such taxing plyo moves until you've hit your healthy weight range.

Name just about any überbabe -- Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian, or Angelina Jolie, for starters -- not to mention some of the world's best athletes, and Gunnar Peterson has trained her. He's the go-to guy whether you want to get in shape for a movie, win a title fight (yes, he's even trained Mike Tyson), or firm up for a close-up. And because he uses athletic training, including power exercises, with everyone, even his everyday clients do plyometric moves and speed drills. "I see power as the ability to 'do' with emphasis and authority," says Peterson, who has been perfecting physiques for more than two decades. "It's a form of control, and as a self-admitted control freak, I'm a fan."
"When you do power moves, you switch to burning fat stores sooner," Peterson says. "That will help you change the proportions of your body."
Power Principles
Add explosive movements. In physics, power is the rate at which work is performed. Peterson knows his physics: "Plyometric moves, like squat jumps, where you're catching air, train your muscles to work faster." Start with three sets of five to eight reps one day a week and build from there.
Ramp it up. On a treadmill, walk or jog for 30 seconds at a 0 or 1 percent grade, then increase the incline to a challenging hike -- aim for between 10 and 15, depending on your fitness level -- and walk or run as fast as you can for five to 10 seconds; repeat this eight to 10 times. (Do the same thing on a bike by adding resistance and standing up as you sprint.) "Think 'Push!' during the sprint and then back off; then 'Push!'" Peterson says. "Yell it to yourself. Forcing the words and air out make you exert more energy."
Get a beeper. When you're trying to crank out as many reps or rpms as you can for a set amount of time, keep your eyes on your form, not your watch. Peterson uses the Gymboss interval timer ($20, gymboss.com). Program two different interval lengths -- sprint and recovery -- and the alarm will sound to mark your next set.

Fast-paced power yoga classes may get your heart rate up, but for Elena Brower, the founder of Virayoga in New York City, the real power of posing is in the mind and body recharge. Her celebrity-packed studio -- Gwyneth Paltrow, Christy Turlington Burns, and Carla Gugino are fans -- offers different styles, but it's Brower's magic touch for fine-tuning alignment and physiques that is her signature. "Any consistent, regular practice will help you be stronger and more stable," Brower explains. "But the real key is to connect with yourself so you can mentally tap into those benefits off the mat."
"Tightness, whether it's in your muscles or your mind, drains your power," Brower says. "Loosen up to unleash what you can do physically, mentally, and emotionally."
Power Principles
Optimize your abs. The secret to a flat, steely yoga belly? "In order for any muscle to work its best you have to take it from full effort or contraction to full relaxation," Brower says. Whether you're doing boat pose or bicycle crunches, consciously relax your abs between reps, then bring your navel to your spine as you contract them again. (Hint: If you're breathing from your chest, you're not relaxing your middle.)
Shore up your foundation. Spend some workout time barefoot to strengthen your feet and other stabilizing muscles. Practice Brower's prescription for steady footing: Press into the floor with the balls of your big and pinkie toes, not the digits in between; this helps release the gripping motion and frees up energy to nail the pose. (Kick off your shoes for Brower's favorite asanas at fitnessmagazine.com/powerup.)
Just breathe. To maximize your muscle control and mental concentration, try to increase the number of breaths you're holding each pose for. "If you're at three now, work toward 10," Brower says, and inhale deeply, "as if you're trying to fill the periphery of every limb" with the oxygenated blood that is your muscles' power supply.

"There are three things we lose as we age: speed, balance, and power," Horton says. "Power training can help you get all three back."
One of the hottest workouts still on people's lips these days -- seven years after it was released -- is P90X, the high-intensity DVD routine that everyone from office workers to celebrities raves about. Tony Horton, the man behind the juggernaut, just released P90X2, a next-level series that has more skill-based exercises and core and stability moves. "People are starting to understand that fitness isn't just about strength," Horton says. "It's having your body move with ease and having good range of motion in multiple planes. Real power comes from what your body and gravity can do together."
Power Principles
Find your weak spot. "If you focus on improving your weaknesses instead of bolstering your strengths, everything gets stronger," Horton says. "Instead of simply doing what you enjoy and know you can do, try something new and don't worry about being embarrassed." The first 30 to 45 days will be difficult, Horton notes, "but dramatic physical and emotional change will follow."
Multitask your muscles. "Get away from myopic training programs and traditional movements that do only one thing," Horton says. "Rather than a regular push-up, add a hand clap or travel across the floor during it." The same goes for squats or lunges: Add jumps or an upper-body element.
Adjust your cadence. Get more toning out of moves like the chest press or leg press by doing the lift portion in a split second, then taking two to three seconds to lower. Mixing in such power sets will challenge your muscles differently so you don't get stuck on a shaping plateau, Horton says.

P90X creator Tony Horton doesn't consider lack of time or a gym to be good excuses for missing a workout. You can do this mini total-body strength-and-cardio circuit in your living room without any weights. Just combine an upper-body move with a quick interval burst followed by core and lower-body exercises. That's one "round." Rest for 30 to 45 seconds after each round, then repeat the circuit again. Do up to 5 rounds. Here's a sample:

"This is not my 'normal' shape," Warner says. "I had to work to change it. Cardio can alter your size, but to change your body shape you have to use resistance training."
"It's not how long; it's how strong." This sums up Jackie Warner's no-nonsense approach to training. Push yourself harder in less time and you'll be more powerful, both mentally and physically. "If you're trying to run away from the burn, you're not going to see results," says the Los Angeles-based makeover guru, whose latest DVD is Personal Training with Jackie: 30-Day Fast Start. "Chase the burn. Get to it and through it faster and you'll shorten your workout time and speed up sculpting changes."
Power Principles
Turbocharge your toning. Warner does back-to-back supersets of 12 strength moves -- each superset pair works similar muscle groups -- interspersed with cardio bursts. "I call it power circuit training," she says. "It releases dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins in a big way, improving your mood and helping you feel more emotionally balanced."
Rev your results. Interval-phobes, take note: Speed drills change your body quickly and give you a burst of energy. "Pick up a jump rope and try to do 200 rotations (start with fewer if you need to) as you time yourself," Warner says. "The next session, attempt to do those 200 rotations in less time. Moving faster in the same amount of time builds power."
Face yourself. "Do your strength moves in front of a mirror so you have to focus on what you're doing and make that mind-muscle connection," Warner says. "Research shows this also improves muscle growth."

Try this upper-body power circuit from Los Angeles trainer Jackie Warner. Do the moves in each circuit back-to-back, without any rest, then proceed to the cardio acceleration (try to get through these high-intensity bursts faster each time you do the workout). Choose a weight for each move that you can only lift 10 to 15 times. Repeat both circuits twice.
Circuit 1:
Chest press
Decline push-up
Military shoulder press
Lateral raise
Close-grip barbell curl
Hammer curl
Cardio acceleration
Jump rope for 200 rotations, then move to Circuit 2.
Circuit 2:
Incline press
Barbell upright row
Bent-over wide row
Wide biceps barbell curl
Biceps curl
Cardio acceleration
Jump rope for 200 rotations, then repeat circuits 1 and 2.

Brandy Signs a Deal with RCA Records.
Grammy-winning R&B singer Brandy has signed a record deal with RCA Records, Pop & Hiss confirmed Monday.
The deal, a joint venture between RCA and producer Breyon Prescott's Chameleon Records, returns the singer to the Sony Music Entertainment fold. She previously called Epic Records home, but severed ties with the label in 2009 after the commercial disappointment of her only album for the label, 2008's "Human."
"Throughout her career, Brandy has consistently won the vote as everyone's favorite female vocalist," Peter Edge, chief executive of RCA Music Group, said in a statement. "I am sure that in her next chapter at RCA and in partnership with Breyon Prescott, we will record her most exciting music to date."
Brandy documented her attempts to revive her music career — including a stint on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" – during two seasons of her hit VH1 reality show, "Brandy & Ray J: A Family Business."
Brandy joins a newly restructured RCA Records, where she'll be on a roster that includes Kings of Leon, Foo Fighters, Alicia Keys, Britney Spears, R. Kelly, Ke$ha, Daughtry, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, Chris Brown and Justin Timberlake.
"This is truly a blessing," Brandy said in a statement. "Breyon Prescott, Peter Edge and Tom Corson [RCA Music Group's president and chief operating officer] believe in me and have introduced me to a home that also believes and knows exactly what to do with the type of music I'm doing. Breyon and the team at RCA/Chameleon are creative and forward-thinking and I am thrilled to be working with them."
She is currently in the studio working on her RCA debut, tentatively slated for an early 2012 release.

Heart bypass surgery - discharge
Alternate Names
Off-pump coronary artery bypass - discharge; OPCAB - discharge; Beating heart surgery - discharge; Bypass surgery - heart - discharge; CABG - discharge; Coronary artery bypass graft - discharge; Coronary artery bypass surgery - discharge; Coronary bypass surgery - discharge
When You Were in the Hospital
Your doctor took a vein or artery from another part of your body to create a detour, or bypass, around an artery that was blocked and could not bring blood to your heart. Your surgery was done through an incision (cut) in your breastbone. Your breastbone was reconnected with wire, and your skin was closed with stitches. You also had an incision made in your leg or arm, where the vein used for the bypass was taken from.
What to Expect at Home
After surgery, it takes 4 to 6 weeks to completely heal and start feeling better. It is normal to:
- Have pain in your chest area around your incision
- Have a poor appetite for 2 to 4 weeks
- Have mood swings and feel depressed
- Have swelling in the leg that the vein graft was taken from
- Feel itchy, numb, or tingly around your incisions on your chest and leg for 6 months or more
- Have trouble sleeping at night
- Be constipated from pain medicines
- Have trouble with short-term memory or feel confused ("fuzzy-headed")
- Be tired or not have much energy
- Have some shortness of breath. This may be worse if you also have lung problems. Some patients may use oxygen when they go home.
- Have weakness in your arms for the first month
You should have someone to stay with you in your home for at least the first 1 to 2 weeks.
Learn how to check your pulse, and check it every day. Do the breathing exercises you learned in the hospital for 4 to 6 weeks. Shower every day, washing the incision gently with soap and water. Do NOT swim, soak in a hot tub, or take baths until your incision is completely healed. Follow a heart-healthy diet.
If you feel depressed, talk with your family and friends. Ask your doctor about getting help from a counselor.
Continue to take all your medications for your heart, diabetes, high blood pressure, or any other conditions you have.
- Do not stop taking any medicine without talking with your doctor or nurse first.
- Your doctor may recommend antiplatelet (blood-thinning) drugs, such as aspirin or clopidogrel (Plavix), to help keep your artery graft open.
- If you are taking a blood thinner, such as warfarin (Coumadin), you may need to have extra blood tests to make sure your dose is correct.
Know how to respond to angina symptoms.
See also:
Stay active during your recovery, but be sure to start slowly.
- Do not stand or sit in the same spot for too long. Move around a little bit.
- Walking is a good exercise for the lungs and heart after surgery. Don't be concerned about how fast you are walking. Take it slow.
- Climbing stairs is okay, but be careful. Balance may be a problem. Rest halfway up the stairs if you need to.
- Light household chores, such as setting the table, folding clothes, walking, and climbing stairs, should be okay.
- Slowly increase the amount and intensity of your activities over the first 3 months.
- Do not exercise outside when it is too cold or too hot.
- Stop if you feel short of breath, dizzy, or any pain in your chest. Do NOT do any activity or exercise that causes pulling or pain across your chest, such as using a rowing machine or weight lifting.
- Keep your incision areas protected from the sun to avoid sunburn.
Do not drive for at least 4 to 6 weeks after your surgery. The twisting involved in turning the steering wheel may pull on your incision. Ask your doctor when you may return to work, and expect to be away from work for about 6 to 8 weeks.
Do not travel for at least 2 or 4 weeks. Ask your doctor when travel is okay. Ask your doctor before starting sexual activity again. Usually it is okay after 4 weeks.
Wound Care
For the first 6 weeks after your surgery, you must be careful how you use your arms and upper body when you move.
- Do NOT reach backwards.
- Do NOT let anyone pull on your arms for any reason -- for instance, if they are helping you move around or get out of bed.
- Lift anything heavier than 5 - 7 pounds.
- Do NOT start even light housework for at least 2 - 3 weeks. Check with your doctor before using your arms and shoulder more.
Brushing your teeth is okay, but do not do other activities that keep your arms above your shoulders for any period of time. Keep your arms close to your sides when you are using them to get out of bed or a chair. You may bend forward to tie your shoes. Always stop if you feel pulling on your breastbone.
Your doctor or nurse will tell you how to take care of your chest wound. You will likely be asked to clean your surgical cut every day with soap and water, and gently dry it. Do not use any creams, lotions, powders, or oils unless your doctor ornurse tells you it is okay.
See also:
If you had a cut or incision on your leg:
- Keep your legs raised when sitting.
- Wear elastic TED hose for 2 - 3 weeks until the swelling goes away and you are more active.
When to Call the Doctor
Call your doctor if:
- You have chest pain or shortness of breath that does not go away when you rest.
- Your pulse feels irregular -- it is very slow (fewer than 60 beats a minute) or very fast (over 100 to 120 beats a minute).
- You have dizziness, fainting, or you are very tired.
- You have a severe headache that does not go away.
- You have a cough that does not go away
- You are coughing up blood or yellow or green mucus.
- You have problems taking any of your heart medicines.
- Your weight goes up by more than 2 pounds in a day for 2 days in a row.
- Your wound changes. It is red or swelling, or it has opened, or there is more drainage coming from it.
- You have chills or a fever over 101 °F.

PALMVIEW – The City of Palmview has a new face; something new that City Manager Johnn Alaniz and Linda Sarabia think could help the city grow. The City of Palmview created a chamber of commerce last month.
Sarabia, the chamber board president, said businesses have been asking for a chamber. And now she has "taken the bull by the horns," according to Alaniz.
The Palmview Chamber was officially organized last month, with the 11 board members as the only members. They are now looking bring in many more members soon by inviting local businesses to join.
Alaniz and Sarabia agreed that with the growth in the area, a chamber is needed to help the local businesses and bring major businesses to the area as well.
Even with the closeness to other area chambers such as Mission, the idea of creating a chamber has been in mind for a few years. Sarabia said she went to other chambers to get some insight on what she needed to do before launching the chamber. She said she was asked why have one in Palmview when Mission has one.
"It's a different community," said Sarabia. "We have different needs."
Palmview has a lot of mom and pop businesses, said Sarabia. They are really good at what they do, but they don't have all the tools they need to keep their businesses going. She wants to help these businesses by coming together as a community and equipping them with the tools they need to succeed.
We are going to have seminars and networking opportunities for the businesses of Palmview, said Sarabia. With the chamber they will be able to partner with the Small Business Development Center that will bring projects into the city to help the local businesses.
"We want to expose the businesses," she said.
Many people in the city wear several hats and Alaniz was happy that Sarabia stepped up to take this challenge. "We've been blessed," he said.
"It's right up her alley," said Alaniz. "She's good at it. It has been good for us."
The response has been good so far with businesses asking how they can join. The chamber finalized their membership package this week and is now accepting members.
This will improve our economy and bring more options to the city, said Sarabia.
Companies that are coming into the area will now have the chamber to call to find out more information about the area and visit with other businesses in the area before moving in.
Sarabia, a business owner herself, said she knows the struggle businesses face and is happy that there will now be a place businesses can gain more knowledge and tools they need to succeed.
The Palmview Board of Directors are Linda Sarabia, president; Joel Garcia, vice president; Eva Alaniz, treasurer; Jesse Vega, secretary; Fidel Trevino Jr., Sgt. In Arms; Leonel Lopez, Nereyda Cantu, Yvonne Trevino, Rick Perez, Benita Hernandez and Diana Garcia, board members and Ismael Cantu, business representative.
Palmview Growing
The city also has projects that are ongoing or are waiting for finalization of funding. Alaniz said they are waiting to see about the funding for a police substation, which will be built on the south side of the expressway and free up some room at the current city hall/public safety building for the chamber.
There are streets receiving makeovers, bridges that are expected to get makeovers soon as well and a sewer project in the works.
Alaniz said the city has grown from a $587,000 budget to a $4 million budget, which has helped get things done and spurred the growth in the area.
The city is also looking at annexing more areas into the city, making it even bigger.
"We're getting to bigger and better things here in Palmview," added Alaniz.
One of those things will be a magazine celebrating Palmview, providing information to residents and businesses in the area.
For more information about the chamber or the City of Palmview, call 583-9466 or visit the chamber's Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/PalmviewChamberOfCommerce.

(From the article): The LinkedIn recommendation IS the new reference letter. After a recruiter determines that your resume meets fundamental requirements the next step they take 99.9 percent of the time is to check out your LinkedIn profile. This is a good thing — assuming you have spent quality time on your profile.
donhornsby's curator insight, September 11, 11:19 AM
(From the article) In the Social Age, it's all about trust.
Like empowerment, most leaders get this exactly wrong. The trust imperative isn't about getting others to trust you as a leader: it's all about trusting your people to show up at work like the mature, responsible adults you hired them to be.
This means tearing up rulebooks, discarding policy manuals, and backing off the stifling metrics Industrial Age management used to make sure no one was stepping out of line.
In the Social Age, there is no line to step out of. In this economy, only the inventive will survive – and only trusted employees have the room they need to invent your future.
Jacob Froelich's curator insight, September 11, 4:01 PM
The history books will be written about the actions and decisions we make today! Exciting!
Lisa McCarthy's curator insight, September 14, 7:46 AM
What used to seem very good leadership practices in the Industrial Age was good, or at least efficient. But the Industrial Age is over. And it's not coming back. It's the Social Age now, and it will be for quite some time to come.
