Different Types of Acne and the Best Methods of Removing the Acne Scars (Laser East)

As a teenager, one has a horrible time going through the phase where acne and pimples erupt all over one's face. If proper care is not taken, these acne spots can leave deep scars on your facial skin; scars that can very well make you conscious of the condition of your skin and lower your confidence levels. It is often said that your face is the first thing a stranger will look at, and if you have a face that you are not confident of showing to the world then it speaks volumes about your self esteem and the lack of it.

Acne can differ from the mild version which almost all teenagers have to experience, the moderate version where red inflamed pimples called papules and red pimples with whitish centers called pustules are the norm, and the severe variety where nodules of pus spread under your skin and cause pain and sever eruptions. A daily cleansing and skin care routine can do a lot to reduce the inflammation, but when things get out of hand then you have to take the help of Acne Laser Treatment Suffolk County NY.

Social Networking for Good

I've written about many aspects of social networking in the past such as

*Security risks and policy implications

*Support for research collaboration

*Applications in performance improvement

*Opportunities to reduce the provider documentation burden

One aspect I have not written about previously is the use of social networking for good such as fund raising for noble causes.

Just as I mentor 2-3 graduate students at a time, my wife has mentored fellow artists and supported them via Hatchfund

Although I've donated my time to various technology accelerators such as Rock Health, Tech Stars and Healthbox, I've not spent time on Kickstarter or other crowd funding websites.

My wife told me tonight that she has made small contributions to worthwhile causes in the art, farming advocacy, and social cause areas.

Whether it's philanthropy, angel investing, or creating good karma, I find donation decisions to be very personal. I've written many times that I want to make a difference and seeing tangible results on a small scale by using a social networking fundraising site seems more tangible than a donation to a large and anonymous organization.

Over the next year, I'll be working on creating my own social networking for good to fund innovation in healthcare IT.

In the meantime I'll be paying more attention to crowd funding sites as I allocate my own contributions.

A Pop Health Book Review of "Deadly Outbreaks"

I was always a fan of "House, MD", a medical TV drama that followed a team of physicians tasked with diagnosing patients with mystery symptoms that stumped every other doctor. I loved the twists and turns, the hypotheses, the puzzles.

I kept being reminded of House as I read Dr. Alexandra Levitt's new book, "Deadly Outbreaks". She profiles seven cases where real life medical detectives (aka: field epidemiologists) solve mysteries involving exotic viruses, unexplained deaths, and occupational safety (just to name a few!)

As I thought about the relevance of "Deadly Outbreaks" to Pop Health, I kept coming back to the role of communication between these medical detectives and the public. This communication is heavily impacted by the media (which can help or hurt an investigation!) I was fascinated to read about this relationship in the cases presented (from 1976-2007) and think about how it will evolve in the future along with our health communication channels.

Several cases offered particularly striking lessons in health communication:

Lesson 1: The Role of Communication in Promoting Fear or Stigma

Chapter #4: Obsession or Inspiration
This case (1976) chronicled the discovery of what would later be named "Legionnaires Disease". With U.S. citizens already worried about a possible influenza epidemic (due to a suspicious death earlier in the year), the medical detectives had to contend with media coverage that fueled public fear:

"The U.S. public, bombarded by daily news stories, was disturbed and frightened by the outbreak in Philadelphia, even though swine flu was quickly ruled out as a possible cause."

(Page 84)

"The public was primed and ready to believe that something big and scary was about to arrive, and it had."

(Page 84)

Chapter #7: A Normal Spring
This case (1993) followed the trail of a virus affecting people in New Mexico (later discovered to affect people in the four corners (New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Utah). This case was interesting because it presented the challenge of managing the intersection of media coverage and local culture (Navajo people were disproportionately impacted by the condition).

"The Navajos were also unhappy at being linked to the disease in Four Corners. The newspapers not only printed the names of dead relatives, but also referred to the disease as the "Navajo flu," stigmatizing an entire people."

(Page 174)

Lesson 2: The Role of Communication in Promoting Health and Safety

Chapter #5: Deadly Desserts
This case (1994) which involved a Salmonella outbreak, highlighted a successful public awareness campaign! After Salmonella was linked to their products, the Schwan Company conducted a recall and asked customers to discard or return all uneaten products that may be affected.

"Schwan's even sent their trucks door-to-door to retrieve ice cream from each household."

(Page 124)

"Schwan's public awareness campaign- advising its customers not to eat its ice cream -was unprecedented and has been praised and studied as a model of good corporate citizenship."

(Page 124)

Lesson 3: What's In A Name? The Importance of Language

Chapter #4: Obsession or Inspiration

The newspapers called it "Legionnaires Disease" first. This popular name would later become official (and was approved by the American Legion).

"It was named Legionella pneumophila ("lung-loving"), in honor of the American Legionnaires. Although many affected groups do not want the stigma of having an organism or a disease named after them, the leaders of the American Legion decided that the name would honor their fallen colleagues."

(Page 111)

Chapter #7: A Normal Spring

It is customary to name a newly isolated animal-borne pathogen after a geographic feature around the place it was discovered. Therefore, names such as the "Four Corners virus", "San Juan virus", and "Muerto Canyon" were proposed.

"...the Navajo community was uncomfortable with names that would tie them to the new disease..."

(Page 181)

In response to this concern, scientists settled on a neutral name for the pathogen: Sin Nombre, the No Name Virus.

Overall Thoughts

I highly recommend this book. While I highlighted some of the health communication lessons here, there are lessons for a variety of public health disciplines. It is a great resource for public health students: Dr. Levitt does a wonderful job of defining key public health terms (e.g., case control study) and providing lots of practical examples. It is a great resource for current public health practitioners who should re-visit lessons from past outbreaks as we tackle the challenges of disease surveillance, domestic/international outbreaks, and the disturbing anti-vaccine movement. This book gives us a good idea of the diverse skill set needed by today's public health workers....and I believe communication skills are at the top of the list. We need scientists who can do the work and also negotiate the media and the challenges of communicating risk to the public. As online news and social media become ubiquitous, I'm curious to see how public health handles the challenges of the 24-hour news cycle where health myths or facts can be spread in the blink of an eye.

What Do You Think? Would love to hear from others who have read the book!

Building Unity Farm - The Powder House Keeper

One of the great benefits of owning a colonial era property is that you never know what you're going to find.

James Bullard was born in Sherborn on August 25, 1762 and died on June 30, 1828.

He's buried in our backyard.

As I've written about previously, the town of Sherborn stored its gunpowder on the Unity Farm property in the Powder house from 1800-1857. The Powder House was accessed via Powderhouse Lane, next to the Bullard Family home at 33 Main Street. James Bullard was assigned the role of Powder House keeper, which was especially convenient since the Powder House was about 100 feet from his back door.

The Bullard Family home is now called the Sherborn Inn and the Powder House has been dismantled, although the foundation is still visible and accessible via Unity Farm's Marsh Trail.

James was married to Mary Harding on November 9, 1786.

On the day of their 227th wedding anniversary I was cutting wood on Unity Farm's Gate Path. The late fall sun shone through the leafless forest and reflected off a piece of bluestone in the forest. I looked closer and found that the light was coming from James Bullard's gravestone, near one of our old pasture walls.

As I looked around the grave I noticed an old cedar with something hanging on it. Above the grave, an old wooden snow sled, silvered and shrinking with age, hung from a branch. There's no brand, no label, and no clear attribution on the sled. Was this James Bullard's "rosebud"? Was his gravesite located on his favorite sledding hill on the land behind his 1700's home?

Mary Harding, James' wife, died in 1796 at the age of 33 and is buried in the Plain Burial Ground in Sherborn. James is buried on our farm under a mysterious gravestone in the woods, guarded by an old cedar supporting an ancient snow sled.

I'm not sure what it all means, but of all the Revolutionary War artifacts on Unity Farm, the grave of the Powder House keeper was not something I expected to find.

The November HIT Standards Committee

The November HIT Standards Committee focused on the current status of certification and attestation, readiness of standards for patient generated data, ONC S&I Framework progress, and the overall HITSC workplan.

Jacob Reider, Acting National Coordinator, joined us and offered his perspective on the work ahead as a physician, informatician and marathon runner. Our goals include meaningful use, as well as many other future looking functions required by many stakeholders in industry, government, and academia.

We reviewed the themes of the meeting which importantly focused on the scope, timing, and resources we need to be successful. Doing too much, too fast, with limited resources is not going to get us to the finish line.

We started the meeting with a Policy update from Jodi Daniel including FDASIA, Joint Commission and safety efforts. An important foundation to that discussion was presentation of the current state of certified technology adoption.

Next, Leslie Kelly Hall presented preliminary high level recommendations from the Consumer Technology Workgroup for the standards required to collect data from patients and devices as well as enable bidirectional care coordination and communication with providers.

Doug Fridsma presented an S&I Framework Update of projects funded by ONC and other government agencies. I asked the Standards Committee to comment on the scope of work - should we recommend more or less S&I initiatives given available resources? We recognized that many of these initiatives are funded outside of the Meaningful Use process, so priority setting is up to ONC and its paying customers.

Doug Fridsma also presented the Standards Committee workplan priorities as suggested by HIT Standards Committee members. Although we need to separate the "mediums" into those we do and those we don't, there was uniform consensus that a focus on image exchange, quality measurement, referral workflow, record locator services, and care plans makes great sense.

A very productive meeting.

Acne Treatment And Beauty Therapy Exclusively For Men (Chua)

Don't you think you deserve to look better? Is it fair if you can be admired at and the fairer sex does not bother to give a second glance at you? Just because men are meant to show off more with their brains does not mean they should look dumb. And it is really not much of an effort to get the men facial done.

What men need to come out of is the stigma that they are not meant to look good. A proper presentation of the self is a natural right of every individual, irrespective of gender. Most of the Asian faces are oily and has clogged pores. This leads to accumulation of dirt around those pores and develops black heads. Also such oily faces become the common habitat for acne and pimples and can be really damaging to the look, needing acne treatment and scar treatment.

Imagine being dressed in the best trouser, a nice tuxedo to match with and of course a nice striped shirt inside. Anybody facing your back is all too curious to just have a glimpse of you and what do you do? The moment you turn around, your face with acne and black heads- you very well know what the response would be. You have lost the chance of winning a good party time with a gorgeous looking lady and spoiled the possibility of making a perfect evening.

It is high time, you have thought about some men facial getting done for you. There are many beauty salons which are providing clinical beauty treatments. Acne treatment, skin blemish, scars, dark patches, black heads and many more treatments of the face are available with them. They use the best of cosmetics for men, mostly herbal and organic.

For those men who do not like strong cosmetics, there are milder ones, with less fragrance and less polishing effects. Most of the acne treatment and face treatments done are on herbal packs which work on the oil removal therapy. There are also painless techniques of removing black heads and hair removal in these salons. Most of these salons have health physicians who would guide you on what would keep away from damaging the skin pattern.
The health experts and beauticians understand that a men's skin are different from that of women. Hence, they take all measures specially while doing the hair removal in men. Acne removal though is just a common treatment mode and does not need much variation in men or women. But, that does not mean that a women's aesthetician would work for the men. There are beauty parlors which have exclusive sections for men and women separately.

These parlors can help each man look perfectly manly, yet away from blemishes and spots. Along with proper cleaning of acne, pimples and black heads, they also take care of pigmentation, dark patches and dark circles under the eyes. For those who want a threading with their eye brows and upper forehead, they can be done perfectly maintaining the macho look and the rugged appeal in men.

By the way, haven't we come to an age where we can merge the genders well and yet maintain our distinct dignified identity?

Face of Man is a beauty treatment salon which helps in acne treatment and complete face makeover. A studio run by men, for men- it can provide massages and facials that can accentuate a look better.

Building Unity Farm - The Duck Pond

As I've written about recently, Fall has been a busy time at Unity Farm. We completed our first harvest, pressed cider, picked mushrooms, planted winter vegetables, and cared for young animals.

Although we have a year round stream running through the farm, we do not have a pond for our ducks, deer, raccoons, opossums, and other local fauna to access standing water during the winter.

This Fall we built a small pond near the barnyard.

In New England, we have very rocky soil, so we had no shortage of boulders for pond building. Our mushroom farming work generated many spare logs. All the building materials for a pond were already on the Unity Farm property.

We needed two things to succeed - someone to provide pond building expertise and someone who could move/carve/assemble rocks. Together, John Novak and Sean Cudmore created the duck pond pictured above.

The engineering includes a bog area that acts as natural filter, many plants to provide oxygenation, and a pattern of circulation that keeps the surface free of debris.

The ducks are 6 weeks old and soon will be given the run of the barnyard. Our experience with ducks thus far is that they live for water. Our 10 ducks drink (or groom with) about 3 gallons of water per day. They have a talent for turning any dry soil into mud. They're not shy about spending the day in their outdoor pen no matter what the weather. I'm convinced the pond will be paradise for them.

Maintaining a pond in winter will be a learning experience for me. As one of the few unfrozen water sources for nearly a square mile, the Unity Farm duck pond will be very popular.

Acne With Pregnancy (carina coronel)

Acne can lower your self esteem and make you feel ugly and depressed. The key to clearing your skin and getting rid of acne is to educate yourself on all of the acne treatments available, and choose a treatment approach that is right for your skin type. This article contains a number of acne tips to help you clear up your skin.

If you have a breakout, resist the urge to scratch or "pop" any pimples. This could cause an infection, scaring, or maybe even both. Try over-the-counter medications, creams, and astringents first. If your acne worsens, consider making an appointment with a dermatologist who can suggest something more effective.

To avoid the chances of creating more acne problems for yourself, avoid touching your face. Touching your face transfers dirt and bacteria to your pores, and can also cause already irritated areas to become even more irritated. Also avoid popping any pimples or blemishes with your bare fingers, as they will only make matters worse.

If you want to get rid of your acne, you should avoid wearing make up. Make up can conceal acne but it clogs your pores and may even irritate your skin. The chemicals contained in your makeup can also contribute to your skin breaking out. Remember that you do not need make up to be beautiful.

If you have developed acne scars a great effective cure is using medicated and non-medicated lotions. These lotions are easily applied privately at home and prove to be most helpful when used over a long period of time. Medicated lotions will help soften your skin over time and heal/treat existing scar tissue.

To keep your pores clean and clear, you should wash your sheets and pillowcases at least once a week. When we sleep, we sweat more than usual, and bacteria the skin can be transferred to sheets. This bacteria causes your pores to get clogged and can lead to breakouts. A clean bed leads to cleaner skin.

In the winter, try to avoid places that typically contain dry air. When there is little moisture in the air you are around, there is a good chance for your skin to react negatively and dry out. This can lead to excess acne and red blemishes, due to the irritation that dryness causes.

Consider adding an overnight treatment to your skin care product line. While you sleep, increases in hormones encourage your glands to create oil. This causes your skin to have a shiny appearance and can also encourage the development of acne. Using an overnight treatment can combat some of these concerns.

Take control of your stress. Excessive stress not only affects your life, it affects your skin. When you worry too much you can trigger breakouts and other problems. A healthy state of mind equals healthy skin. If you feel that things are getting too much, try to scale back your life and do things that you enjoy. You will see positive results in both your life and your skin.

Acne is a troubling disorder that can have a negative impact on a person's quality of life. In order to clear up your skin, it's important to research all of the treatment options available, and learn what does and does not work. Apply the advice from this article, and you will be on your way to having the flawless, acne-free skin that you always dreamed of having.

Acne Treatment, The Natural Way (Adeel Qureshi)

To beat all the acne and related skin troubles, several over the counter ointments and medicines are available. While some show instant results, some may not work and some unfortunate ones may have several side effects. With chemically treated products, there is always an impending risk. To avoid that, and to have a cost effective and safe acne treatment, just look in your kitchen closet! Here are a few remedies that have been tried and tested over years to yield the best possible results:

Oatmeal: Oatmeal has the amazing property of absorbing oil from the skin and cleansing the pores completely. You can use it as exfoliate to get the best results for your skin. To make a pack for your face, cook a cup of oatmeal. Mix a spoon of honey and half a lemon into it. Rub this mixture over your skin. Allow it to dry and wash it off with lukewarm water.

Lemon Juice: Any ingredient that has a slight acidic property will cleanse your skin and free it from acne. Lemon has citric acid that is very effective on your skin. All you need to do is rub a small slice of lemon over the affected area and let it dry for a few minutes before you wash it off. You can even mix in a small amount of honey in the lemon juice to get rid of marks caused by acne.

Orange Peel: Like lemon, orange also has strong acidic properties that make it great for acne treatment. Vitamin C that is high in the orange peel makes it more effective than the juice itself. Let the orange peel dry out in the sun. Grind the dry peels with water to make a paste. Apply this paste to the area that is affected and let it stay for about 15 minutes. Wash your face with lukewarm water for best results.

Aloe Vera: Aloe Vera has always been known for its medicinal properties. Using homemade or even store bought Aloe Vera juice has extremely effective results when it comes to healing the scars caused by acne. It is also great for existing acne as it acts as an antiseptic. The inflation on the skin is reduced when Aloe Vera juice is applied. It must be applied twice each day for best results.

Neem or Indian Lilac: Neem is one of the most powerful antiseptic and antifungal ingredients found in nature. It is effective not only against acne but is useful for various skin problems. To use Neem, soak it in water overnight. When the leaves are tender, grind them into a paste and apply them on the affected area. Let the paste dry. You can even leave it overnight if the infection is severe. Wash it off with lukewarm water.

With any home acne treatment, the results are not immediate. You have to be patient and diligent while using home remedies. It is also important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent further outbreaks. In case the infection is extremely severe, you can opt for modern medical solutions.

Quality Measurement 2.0

I've written several posts about the frustrating aspects of Meaningful Use Stage 2 Certification. The Clinical Quality Measures (CQMs) are certainly one of problem spots, using standards that are not yet mature, and requiring computing of numerators and denominators that are not based on data collected as part of clinical care workflow.

There is a chasm between quality measurement expectations and EHR workflow realities causing pain to all the stakeholders - providers, government, and payers. Quality measures are often based on data that can only be gathered via manual chart abstraction or prompting clinicians for esoteric data elements by interrupting documentation.

How do we fix CQMs?

1. Realign quality measurement entity expectations by limiting calculations (call it the CQM developers palette) to data which are likely to exist in EHRs. Recently, Yale created a consensus document, identifying data elements that are consistently populated and of sufficient reliability to serve in measure computations. This is a good start.

2. Add data elements to the EHRs over time and ensure that structured data input fields use value sets from the Value Set Authority Center (VSAC) at NLM. The National Library of Medicine keeps a Meaningful Use data element catalog that is likely to expand in future stages of Meaningful Use.

3. Greatly reduce the number of CQMs required by private and public entities to a consistent, manageable number. That way we can focus on ensuring integrity of data elements used in quality measures.

This approach will create a “healthy tension.” If HHS restricts measure developers from using an infinite number of data elements, measure developers will express concern that available technology is limiting quality measurement. If measure developers continue to include data that does not exist in the EHR, then developers will create burdensome add-on data entry screens to prompt providers for extra information just for the sake of CQM.

A few years ago, Jacob Reider (now the Acting National Coordinator) created these slides that illustrate how to cross the Quality Measurement chasm - modify expectations of quality measurement developers, while also enhancing EHRs with value sets from the VSAC and continuing to develop standards that support quality measurement (such as FHIR), optimizing workflow and usability.

As I've said before, I will do everything in my power to support Jacob Reider, ONC and "polishing" of Meaningful Use Stage 2.

Revising CQMs is likely to be a high priority of the HIT Standards Committee over the next year. Watch for that discussion at the November 13 HIT Standards Committee meeting.

To prevent the possibilities of creating more acne problems by itself, avoid touching the face. Touching your face transfers the dirt and bacteria to your pores and can also cause already irritated areas to become even more irritated.

This makes your skin have a shiny appearance and can also promote the development of acne. Using a treatment during the night you can fight some of these concerns.

Take control of your stress. Excessive stress not only affects the life, affecting the skin. When you care too it can trigger outbreaks of acne and other problems.

Salicylic acid for acne scar treatment

The scars of acne in the majority of cases appear as red marks. They tend to last for some weeks or even months after the grain has gone. The good news is that there are over-the-counter products that help in the treatment of acne scars.

Scrub is a natural form that can be used to lighten and also the acne scars fade. When it is made in the skin the epithelial cell layer is thrown and dig up the layer of skin that is just below. The new layer has the potential of being fresh and rayon.

Celebrities Aim To Silence The Sounds of Pertussis

This week I surprised myself when I tweeted:

I happened to catch a portion of last week's episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. While not usually a fan of the content/messages on that show, I was thrilled to see that Pertussis (Whooping Cough) was discussed. Pertussis is a highly contagious disease that can be fatal when contracted by infants. Research has shown that the majority of infants who get Pertussis get it from a family member.

Since Kim Kardashian would be staying at the family home with a newborn, her mother Kris brought their family physician in to vaccinate everyone who would come in contact with the baby. That included the baby's grandparents and aunts/uncles. What a great preventative health behavior to model on TV!

The show brought me back to a blog post I wrote last year to summarize my reactions to the PBS Frontline special "The Vaccine War". One question I posed to readers was:

How can public health compete with the media and the internet?

One solution that I proposed: Let's remember to share the spotlight with celebrities and other spokespeople that have influence over the public. With anti-vaccine advocates often getting the spotlight (cough...Jenny McCarthy co-hosting The View), we often overlook that there are pro-vaccine celebrities.

This week, a colleague on Twitter shared the link to Jennifer Lopez's PSA for the Sounds of Pertussis campaign. It was impressive. First, for the selection of "JLo"- a mother of twins, who is known worldwide for her dancing, singing, and acting. People are obviously interested in what she has to say- as evidenced by her 25+ million Twitter followers. Second, her PSA includes the actual sound of a baby with Pertussis. This is helpful because (1) it educates the public regarding what this cough actually sounds like and (2) without words it portrays the seriousness of the condition. The baby on the recording is gasping for air. As Jennifer points out, this sound is hard to hear for 60 seconds on the PSA...let alone coming from your own child.

The Sounds of Pertussis campaign is a joint effort between the March of Dimes and Sanofi Pasteur. They have recruited other celebrities such as actress Sarah Michelle Geller and NASCAR Champ Jeff Gordon. The campaign website includes both educational materials (e.g., information on transmission) and action oriented materials (e.g., a Grandparents' Guide to Pertussis that includes a pledge to get vaccinated). The campaign has also expanded its use of social media to include a Facebook component called "Breathing Room". This component allows new parents to educate their connections about Pertussis and invite them to take the pledge to get vaccinated.

What Do You Think?

Can these pro-vaccine celebrities compete with the anti-vaccine messages we often see in the media/internet? Why or why not?
Do you think that the Sounds of Pertussis campaign addresses some of the key barriers to adult vaccination (e.g., low perceived risk to self or baby?)
