Acne is a common problem faced by most men and women today. While the problem is more serious in men, acne affects young women too. In most women, acne is linked to hormonal changes, and occurs usually during the menstrual cycle or during pregnancy. Why does acne occur during pregnancy? Pregnancy is a time when hormones in the body fluctuate and many changes occur. This imbalance in hormones often leads to the overproduction of skin oil and causes a form of acne known as pregnancy acne. It is usually characterized by acne legions, more often around the mouth, chest, back and shoulder areas. Risk of treatment: Unlike other forms of acne, acne treatment during pregnancy can prove to have implications. This is so because the unborn foetus may be affected, if the wrong medication is given. While risk is less in mild to moderate forms of acne where topical medication can help, risk is often quite high in cases of severe acne, where medication is required. Oral medicines can often cause bi...

Internet surfers seeking out new web browser options have a few good choices to consider, and luckily, all the browsers in this category boast positive attributes and cool features that can make anyone’s browsing experience a good one. In the end, it’s up to you to pick one that fits your specific needs, as everyone looks for something different in a browser. But one thing’s for sure – you’ll never go back to IE. Opera The Opera browser sings to a tune all its own. One of the more popular alternative browsers available, it is highly acclaimed by new and veteran users alike.

To be noticed or successful in the World Wide Web one needs to apply sound business sense and practices. When a surfer uses a search engine to find information he will get what he needs within the first 7-10 results displayed. This means that sites that are ranked higher than 10 are hardly ever noticed. Most of the traffic is enjoyed by those who rank within the “top ten.” Here are a few pointers that may get you a ranking within 1-10: 1. Use relevant target key words for your pages. Ensure that the key words are more than two words long. Put yourself in the shoes of the surfer and list what the likely search terms will be which are relevant to the content. 2. Use keywords frequently through the page but with relevance. Higher placements are recommended. Ensure that target keywords are placed in the HTML title tag. Include target words in the titles. Write titles that capture interest and attention. These are what appear in search engine listings and only if they convey the content of ...

Losing a friend or a loved one causes a deep, searing pain that is difficult to endure, but sending over flowers can give comfort to those who are mourning. However, one should always remember that grieving relatives and loved ones may have some conservative views on death. Before sending over any floral arrangements for a funeral, you might want to know a little bit of etiquette when it comes to sympathy arrangements. Since funerals and wakes are very sad occasions to begin with, color should be incorporated into the flower arrangement to bring life and energy into the room and to achieve the purpose of bringing comfort to grieving family members and loved ones.The first thing you should remember is to send the arrangement to the funeral home on time; if you cannot send them in time for the wake itself, have the flowers delivered to the home of the deceased’s family. Always include a note, even if the message is as simple as “Our prayers and condolences are with you.” Sending a note m...

Want to get rid of those pesky wrinkles? Well forget Botox and instead try out carbon dioxide laser resurfacing, which could be an effective long-term treatment for wrinkles. The carbon dioxide laser vaporizes water molecules inside and outside of cells, causing thermal damage to the surrounding tissue. In response to this insult, the skin produces more of the protein collagen, which fills in wrinkles. "In addition to structural changes, the healing process frequently leads to pigmentary [coloring] changes. These changes in skin pigmentation may be desirable, such as when patients wish to remove solar evidence of aging; however, changes in pigmentation after treatment can often be a troubling adverse effect." the authors said. They found that 21 patients had no complications following the procedure; of those who did, 14 had milia or acne; eight had hyperpigmentation; six had hypopigmentation; one developed an infection; and one developed sagging of the eyelids. After an aver...

Allergies are much more than mere annoying immune malfunction, they might protect against certain types of cancer, according to a study. The findings by a Cornell University team comprising Paul Sherman, Erica Holland and Janet S. Sherman suggest that allergy symptoms may protect against these conditions by expelling foreign particles, which may be carcinogenic or carry absorbed carcinogens, from organs likely to come in with contact them. Besides, allergies serve as early warning devices that let people know when there are substances in the air that should be avoided. Medical researchers have long suspected a link between allergies and cancer, but extensive study on the subject has yielded mixed, often contradictory, results. Many studies have found inverse associations between the two, meaning cancer patients tended to have fewer allergies in their medical history. Other studies have found positive associations, and still others found no association at all, according to a Cornell pre...

One may say that people who take up bowling are productively using their spare time to stay fit, but if not careful, these amateur sports might lead to health problems later in life, warn scientists. A new study led by Dr. Navah Ratzon, a long-time occupational therapist and director of the Occupational Therapy Department at Tel Aviv University, has stated that a number of improper leisure sport activities may have negative effects on the musculoskeletal system. "Increasing numbers of adults are pursuing amateur athletics during their leisure hours. But we’ve found worrying indications that this activity -- when not done properly -- may have negative effects on the musculoskeletal system," she said. Musculoskeletal disorders and disease may cause of disability, and chronic conditions people who are 50 years and older, and they are characterised by discomfort, pain or disease of the muscles, joints or soft tissues connecting the bones. By focussing study specifically to bowler...

COLUMBUS, OHIO: Muscleman-turned-actor-turned-politician Arnold Schwarzenegger called on Barack Obama to beef up his policies -- and his body -- at a high-voltage campaign rally for Republican John McCain on Friday. Schwarzenegger, the Hollywood action hero who is now the Republican governor of California, delighted a crowd of several thousand at a McCain campaign event in Ohio by ridiculing both Obama's policies and his slender physique. The Austrian-born former Mr Universe has hosted a bodybuilding tournament in Columbus for several years, and opened his address by inviting Obama to participate in the next event. "Every year in March I come here to organize the Arnold Classic, which is all about building the body and pumping," Schwarzenegger said. "That's why I want to invite Senator Obama because he needs to do something about those skinny legs. I'm going to make him do some squats. "And then we're going to make him do some biceps curls to beef u...
