Everybody always wants to look their best in order to feel their best.
But time has a way of concealing the beauty we feel inside. One of the
major changes that occurs to the face over time is a descent of the
eyebrows and forehead.
A heartfelt “thank you” is extended to all of the Nurses in Camden County during their special week of recognition.
The half-gram bottle of bath salts promises an "invigorating" and
"energizing" experience but to local and federal authorities, it's
another dangerous product misused as “fake cocaine” that's sending youth
to emergency rooms and mental hospitals in Florida and across the
country.
A second opinion can be very helpful in deciding among various treatment
options.
Most Americans likely can describe warning signs and health risks
associated with breast cancer and heart disease, but relatively few
people are aware of another potentially fatal disease that
disproportionately strikes young women. The disease is lupus.
The world’s first “test tube baby” is now 31 years old. Four million

Typically, the articles appearing in this section of both the
Burlington County Woman and Camden County Woman publications focus on
some aspect of hospice care such as the management of end-of-life
issues, grief and loss, caregiver concerns, etc. However, this article
is different. This one is personal.

are not always willing to undergo surgery.
Tubal ligation is the most commonly used method of contraception for
women over age 30. It is also known as “permanent sterilization.” In
women the procedure is called tubal ligation and in men it is called
vasectomy. These procedures are known in lay terms as “tying your
tubes.” Couples choose to undergo one of these procedures when they no
longer desire fertility, yet want to avoid the need for contraception
methods which must be used continuously or at least vigilantly. In women
the procedure involves obstructing the mid-portion of the fallopian
tube, which is the duct through which the egg must travel to reach the
uterus.
People who care for others or work in the “helping professions” usually
have an abundance of caring concern for those they serve. Boundaries may
often be hard to set when responding to the needs of others. The love
and caring that make care-givers so special can also serve as a major
source of stress in their own lives.
The American Dietetic Association supports a report issued by the
Institute of Medicine (IOM) calling for new dietary intake levels for
calcium and vitamin D to maintain health and avoid risks associated with
excess consumption. The new Dietary Reference Intake values are based
on evidence supporting the roles of these nutrients in bone health but
not in other health conditions.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common neurological disorder
diagnosed in young adults. Most individuals who develop MS are diagnosed
between the ages of 15 and 50, and on average, women are three times
more likely than men to develop this disease. MS is not contagious and
usually does not shorten life expectancy. Although the disease may not
be cured or prevented, treatments are available to reduce severity and
delay progression of certain types of MS.
Patients are seeking a longer lasting product that fills in lines, such
as the lines around the mouth, as part of their overall anti-aging skin
care regimen. Dermal fillers such as Juvèderm™ injectable gel are
designed to reduce the appearance of facial folds by using hyaluronic
acid (HA), a naturally hydrating substance, to restore the skin’s volume
and smooth out the wrinkles and folds on your face. A long lasting,
reversible filler such as Juvèderm™ can provide a natural look which can
be modified or adjusted according to each individual’s face over time.

“I thought that cervical cancer was something out of the past. Why are
we seeing so many cases of precancer and cancer of the cervix today?”
Many women ask these and other questions about cervical cancer each day.
In this article I will answer some of the most common questions and
concerns women have about this all too common cancer.

During my Princeton varsity field hockey days, I had a doctor tell me to
stop playing because of back and leg pain. I couldn’t accept that
advice. Instead, I found a specialist who would help me with treatments
and training aids that would let me keep playing a sport I loved. And
the experience motivated me to study sports medicine with an emphasis on
exploring the differences between men and women athletes.

Many of us may have found ourselves offering thanks at Thanksgiving, a
festival of foods, only to be followed by the season of eating and then
the resolution “hopes” to begin anew. “LETTING GO” of the unwanted
weight or “LIGHTENING UP” on the daily medications* should become our
priority if our health is of any importance in 2011.
It’s been called “The Long Goodbye”. Alzheimer’s disease…it’s a thief
that robs you of your memories, robs you of your dignity, and robs your
family of its emotional and financial stability.
The latest rage among many high school and college students is causing
some serious concerns. An alcoholic energy drink called Four Loko is so
potent some states want it banned. Four Loko is considered an
“alco-pop”, an alcoholic beverage made with fruit juices and other
flavorings which tend to conceal the alcohol content of the drink behind
a sweet, fruity flavor. The colors, the flavors, the website, and the
language used to market this product clearly targets teens, i.e.
underage drinkers.
Rarely, if ever, in the course of an individual’s serious illness and
treatment is there one, single, readily-apparent moment when the focus
of care clearly shifts away from being curative and becomes palliative
or, hospice care. Just as treating the disease is a process, so is
preparing ourselves for end of life when cure is no longer possible.
