Hair
Hair loss Facts.
Hair loss affects approximately 40% of men and 20% of women aged 50 and over. In the US there are an estimated 40 million men and 12 million women suffering from some degree of baldness. The estimated market size for hair regeneration products and treatments is over $1 billion for both men and women but only 2% of patients suffering hair loss currently seek any treatment.
Existing Treatments.
Hair loss treatments available today a few and far between, so far there is only two medicines which have been licensed for use as a Male hair loss product. 1 Propecia & 2 Regaine.
Propecia is the more successful treatment out of the two and has many papers and happy customers that have used the product who have either stop hair loss in its tracks or regained lost hair.
Regaine can be bought over the counter at most pharmacies & supermarkets and has worked on a smaller percentage to some degree.
Hair Cloning
But now a company in Manchester called Intercytex have been busy working on cloning, hair cloning that is. Already phase 1 & 2 of the hair cloning trials have been completed and are showing some promising results.
The ICX-TRC procedure
A small sample of hair follicles is taken from the patient during a simple 30 minute operation carried out under local anaesthetic at a hair or skin clinic. The clinic sends the biopsy to Intercytex’ GMP compliant manufacturing facility where the DP cells are dissociated from the rest of the follicle. These cells are cultured and expanded in proprietary media over three weeks and subsequently returned to the clinic in a sterile suspension.
sing a specialised delivery system, the DP cells are microinjected intradermally into the patient’s scalp. The treatment is performed under local anaesthetic and comprises a single procedure of superficial injections, each injection delivering a minute volume of media containing DP cells. These cells are able to stimulate the generation of new hairs when injected in close proximity to the epidermal cells which generate the hair. Following the procedure, new hair growth should become evident after approximately three months.
ICX-TRC clinical and commercial development

Boots Viagra
Boots’ bid to provide Viagra in-store has started to look like a ‘false hope’ as frustrated patients struggle with appointments, long queues and time consuming repeat supplies of Erectile Dysfunction medicine.
Buying Viagra from Boots does not mean in anyway that patients simply walk in and just buy it. Patients need to complete a questionnaire before having almost an hour long consultation with a pharmacist, who takes medical history, conducts a series of blood tests, including checking men's glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
After a disappointing experience of dealing with Boots, many Erectile Dysfunction patients are referring to online clinics for their Erectile Dysfunction medicine.

Over the counter slimming pill Alli - Does it really work?
The newly launched over the counter diet pill Alli (weight loss pill available without prescription) is becoming extremely popular among obese and over-weight people. Alli by GSK was recently launched as the first over-the-counter weight loss pill to be available in pharmacies across the UK and Europe.
Alli has previously been available on prescription for some time but the Government has decided it should be more accessible to the public. According to the claims made by GSK, the manufacturers of Alli, Alli helps dieters lose 50 per cent more weight than through willpower alone, by preventing the body absorbing fat. GSK also stresses that it is not a 'magic' pill and is designed to enhance, rather than replace, the effects of diet and exercise.
The drug, which actually is a half-strength version of the prescription-only diet pill Xenical, is only available to those with a body mass index of 28 and over after a consultation with the pharmacist has taken place. If you are looking at buying Alli over the counter, be ready to be weighed and measured at your pharmacy if do not know your BMI (Body Mass Index). Alli is not available to under 18s. A monthly course of Alli costs around £50.
So is Alli really worth trying? Are there anyother weight loss pills better than Alli - Read complete story here:

Erectile Dysfunction, Diabetes and Heart Disease
Men with diabetes having trouble keeping an erection could be at increased risk of serious heart problems”, A report presented on BBC has revealed. According to the report, people with erectile dysfunction are twice as likely as other men with diabetes to develop heart disease. This finding could apparently be used to “alert both patients and healthcare providers to the future risk of coronary heart disease”.
The study followed 2,306 diabetic men for four years and found that the men with erectile dysfunction were 1.58 times more likely to have a cardiac event (fatal or non-fatal heart attack or surgery for heart disease).
Despite its shortcomings however, this research corroborates what other studies have suggested. It suggests that an assessment of erectile dysfunction could be useful when assessing the risk of heart disease in men with diabetes.

Obese women 'significantly more likely to have children with birth defects'
Researchers at Newcastle University have found that obese mothers are significantly more likely to have children with birth defects than slim mothers. The research highlights the dangers of obesity in expecting mothers at a time when an estimated one in six pregnant women in Britain is overweight or obese. Experts are calling for UK Government's anti-obesity campaign (Change4Life) to specifically target and educate women in the child-bearing age about the complications related to being pregnant when you are over-weight or obese. This research also calls on the Doctors to be made more aware of the complications that obese or over-weight expecting mothers can possibly suffer.
According to the review of 39 separate scientific studies, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, there were more than twice babies as likely to be born with spina bifida, (with incomplete spinal cord causing disability) and 30 per cent more likely to have heart defects and 20 per cent more likely to be born with a cleft palate.
A separate study warns that doctors routinely miss warnings signs of heart disease in pregnancy, despite the condition being responsible for 2.27 deaths per 100,000 pregnancies, twice the rate it was in the 1990s.
These studies have shown that obesity can result in critical consequences for obese mothers. It is definitely the right time to start tackling obesity before it gets too late.
