A study found that DFM30, a tinted daily SPF-30 facial moisturizer, was associated with improvements in cutaneous barrier function and reduction in skin dryness and redness in rosacea-prone skin. Findings from the study were published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology.

In the first of a series of 2 studies, researchers measured electrical capacitance and transepidermal water loss at baseline, 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours after a single DFM30 application, as well as on a control site in healthy women with dry skin (n=21). The second study enrolled women with mild to moderate rosacea and nontransient erythema (n=33), and tested the efficacy and tolerability after once-daily DFM30. Efficacy and tolerability outcomes were assessed with a chromameter, photograph analysis, and trained rater and patient evaluations to the 22nd day of application.

Compared with baseline, there were significant increases in electrical capacitance at 2 hours (29.8 ± 6.5 vs 36.2 ± 6.5, respectively; P <.001), 4 hours (29.8 ± 6.5 vs 33.8 ± 5.9, respectively; P <.001), and 8 hours (29.8 ± 6.5 vs 32.7 ± 5.3, respectively; P =.002) after application in the first study. The researchers also observed significant decreases in transepidermal water loss at 2 hours (7.3 ± 1.3 vs 6.3 ± 1.4; P =.03), 4 hours (7.3 ± 1.3 vs 6.6 ± 1.4; P =.001), 8 hours (7.3 ± 1.3 vs 6.9 ± 1.4; P =.042), and 24 hours (7.3 ± 1.3 vs 6.5 ± 1.3; P =.003) after applying DFM30 to healthy women.

In the second study, up to 33.3% of participants experienced improved coverage of skin redness with DFM30 on day 1 compared with baseline (P =.002). Fewer reports of redness were made on day 8 vs day 3 (P =.016). Skin dryness and tightness/tension were reportedly lower approximately 30 minutes after the first DFM30 application. According to image analysis, skin redness was noticeably lower on day 22 vs baseline on the unaffected forehead. The entire cohort stated they would purchase DFM30 because of its ability to both relieve as well as neutralize visible redness.

Limitations of the study were the inclusion of a predominantly female cohort and the small sample size, as well as the lack of a randomized placebo-controlled design.

The researchers concluded that their study demonstrates "that DFM30 is an effective and well-tolerated moisturizer that improves cutaneous barrier function and the visible appearance of rosacea-prone skin."

His Apple Watch warned of an irregular heart rate. Turns out he was having a heart attack | Globalnews.ca - Global News Toronto

A Nova Scotia man is thanking a digital watch for saving his life. Travis Chalmers,&nbsp;of Elmsdale, N.S., said he was outside playing road hockey with his son when he suddenly experienced a "warm sensation" in his chest area and a splitting headache. "I just thought it was a flu or cold coming on and my seasonal allergies had been kicking in. I thought it was flu-like symptoms and shrugged it off," he said. But to Chalmers' surprise, an otherwise laidback afternoon eventually took a scary turn when he glanced at his wrist. A notification from his Apple Watch led him to discover he was experiencing a heart attack. "About a half hour later, I'm laying down with my daughter and my heart rate is still beating out of my chest," he continued, adding that he monitored his heart rate on his Apple Watch for the next few hours. The watch indicated that he was experiencing atrial fibrillation, a rapid heart rhythm that can increase the ris...

Like many things, there's another side to the opioid crisis. While the addiction to opioids is a problem that needs to be addressed, people who are using the drugs exclusively as prescribed — and who still truly need it from a medical perspective — have been swept up in what some have seen as government's knee-jerk reaction to the crisis. In having their ability limited to get the drugs they need in order to function, many of these patients are left suffering debilitating pain. Richard Mark VanWormer w...

It Was Stranger Than It Seemed. - The New York Times Posted: 12 Dec 2019 11:25 AM PST It was chest pain that brought the 34-year-old woman to the emergency room at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx. She'd been coughing for days, but that morning the pain was so bad she was worried that it had turned into pneumonia. She tried to tough it out, but when it was no better by the end of the day, she decided to go to the E.R. It took a few hours, but finally the physician assistant caring for her in the E.R. brought some good news. She didn't have pneumonia; she didn't have a clot in her lungs. This was just muscle strain from coughing. The year before, she was told she had asthma. She was given inhalers to stop the coughing and wheezing, but they didn't seem to do much. So she didn'...
