MRSA is treatable, officials advise
Did you check for boils last night? Pimples, too, perhaps? Wondering if it's just acne or a drug-resistant staph infection? Despite the recent media and public lens turned toward methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, health officials are urging people to stay calm about the common and treatable infection, and cautioning that individual cases are not cause for concern. For the most part, local health departments, hospitals and schools have seen only a slight uptick in concerned calls and patient visits. "MRSA's been around for a long time, but no one really paid attention before kids started getting it at school and getting in the news," said state Department of Correctional Services spokesman Erik Kriss. About 100 cases of the infection are reported annually in state prisons — including the eight in Orange, Ulster and Sullivan counties — out of more than 63,000 prisoners.
Feeling Stressed?
Pending job cuts at the office. Back-to-back final exams. A messy divorce. An unexpected surgery. What do they all have in common? In a word -- stress. While everyone knows that stress can take a toll on a person physically and psychologically, it also can lead to dermatologic problems, such as acne, brittle nails or even hair loss.
Speaking today at the American Academy of Dermatology's Skin Academy (Academy), dermatologist Flor A. Mayoral, MD, FAAD, clinical instructor in the departments of dermatology and cutaneous surgery at the University of Miami's Miller School of Medicine in Miami, Fla., discussed the most common outward signs of stress on the skin, hair and nails, and offered stress management tips to control these symptoms.
"In treating hundreds of patients over the years with skin conditions such as eczema, rosacea, acne and psoriasis, I have seen firsthand how stress can aggravate the skin and trigger unexpected flare-ups that, in effect, create more stress for patients," said Dr.
Police search for man who thwarted sex attack
Police investigating a daylight sex attack on a Christchurch street still urgently want to talk to a man who scared off the young woman's two assailants.

Nutrients for skin
Green tea: Drink two to four cups of green tea per day. "It has a high content of flavonoid/catechins (which can help to strengthen collagen) and of theanine -- an amino acid associated with relaxation and cortisol control. Too much cortisol can induce disruptions in blood sugar and inflammation," says Shawn M. Talbott, author of "Cortisol Control and the Beauty Connection" (Hunter House, 2007). Red wine: Red wine has a flavonoid/collagen effect similar to green tea and is known for its relaxation effects and promotion of blood flow, Talbott says. Omega-3s: "Healthy omega-3 fatty acids help maintain cell membranes so that they are effective barriers. ... Omega-3s also seem to protect skin against sun damage," says Joy Bauer, author of "Joy Bauer's Food Cures" (Rodale, 2007).
