LA JOLLA, CA, January 21, 2011 (Press-News.org) Nasrin Mani, M.D., well-known laser surgeon and cosmetic physician in La Jolla, received notification of her selection as Health Hero for 2011 by the American Melanoma Foundation. Honorees are recognized for the contributions they have made to the local health industry through their community activism.
As part of the United Way's workplace funding partner, the American Melanoma Foundation serves the San Diego public in the prevention and treatment of melanoma
Dr. Mani is a very active community supporter both in health and the arts. She is the medical director of La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic, one of the most active laser and cosmetic procedure practices in the area.
As a laser surgeon and cosmetic practitioner, Dr. Mani's roles include aesthetic as well as the medical treatment of the skin. Recent developments in laser technology have brought into focus the ability of lasers to target and greatly resolve the issues of Actinic Keratosis - often referred to as pre-cancers.
Helping patient become more aware of their skin conditions and potential skin health issues is a focal point of the practice. "Our patients for the most part have lived in a sunny location their entire lives," Dr. Mani pointed out. "This constant exposure to UV light increases the risk of skin cancers or abnormal skin growths. Being able to resolve these issues prior to their becoming threatening is a key to both continued skin health and appearance. We're excited to have the technology that can treat the skin effectively and quickly with no risk of scarring and a very minimum level of discomfort." The laser technology, referred to as Fraxel Dual, is FDA approved for pigmentation reduction and the treatment of Actinic Keratosis.
Dr. Mani's laser clinic is also the busiest Sculptra clinic in San Diego. Dr. Mani personally injects all Sculptra patients. With Sculptra's bio-compatibility, there is no pre-testing and this bio-compatibility extends to its use with all other fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane, Radiesse and even Artefill.
"Sculptra is by far the most exciting anti-aging treatment we've seen!" exclaims Dr. Mani. "We've never had a product with the power to stimulate collagen production the way Sculptra can. It's an amazing bio-stimulant which leaves you with new collagen levels that restore youthful volume. Fuller cheeks, more contoured jaw lines, temple volume replacement to reverse the aging "pyramid" affect...it's truly a one-of-a-kind action that slowly and naturally rebuilds the youth right back into your face. My patients, and I, love what Sculptra has been able to achieve."
Nasrin Mani, M.D., is the executive medical director of La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic located in La Jolla, California. She is a member of the Medical Education Faculty for Bioform (recently acquired by Merz Pharma), makers of Radiesse. She is also a Board Certified Ophthalmologic Surgeon with a Vitreo Retinal Surgical specialty. She was recently named as one of San Diego's Top Docs for 2010 by the San Diego County Medical Society.
Dr. Mani holds seasonal education seminars and a monthly Open House to allow interested community members to stop by for a glance at the inside workings of a cosmetic clinic. She provides educational Enewsletters "Skin News & Reviews" for those who wish to keep abreast of the latest technologies and procedures for maintaining appearance and skin health.
La Jolla Cosmetic Laser Clinic is located at 1111 Torrey Pines Road, Suite 102, La Jolla, California. The website is www.LaJollaLaser.com. Toll free calls may be made to 800-515-7753.

More asteroids could have made life's ingredients
2011-01-20
A wider range of asteroids were capable of creating the kind of amino acids used by life on Earth, according to new NASA research.
Amino acids are used to build proteins, which are used by life to make structures like hair and nails, and to speed up or regulate chemical reactions. Amino acids come in two varieties that are mirror images of each other, like your hands. Life on Earth uses the left-handed kind exclusively. Since life based on right-handed amino acids would presumably work fine, scientists are trying to find out why Earth-based life favored left-handed amino ...
Robotic ghost knifefish is born
2011-01-20
Researchers at Northwestern University have created a robotic fish that can move from swimming forward and backward to swimming vertically almost instantaneously by using a sophisticated, ribbon-like fin.
The robot -- created after observing and creating computer simulations of the black ghost knifefish -- could pave the way for nimble robots that could perform underwater recovery operations or long-term monitoring of coral reefs.
Led by Malcolm MacIver, associate professor of mechanical and biomedical engineering at Northwestern's McCormick School of Engineering and ...
Stress, anxiety both boon and bane to brain
2011-01-20
MADISON — A cold dose of fear lends an edge to the here-and-now — say, when things go bump in the night.
"That edge sounds good. It sounds adaptive. It sounds like perception is enhanced and that it can keep you safe in the face of danger," says Alexander Shackman, a researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
But it sounds like there's also a catch, one that Shackman and his coauthors — including Richard Davidson, UW-Madison psychology and psychiatry professor — described in the Jan. 19 Journal of Neuroscience.
"It makes us more sensitive to our external surroundings ...
Identity theft by aphids
2011-01-20
Collaborative research at the University of Guam has people asking: "What IS a species" and entomologists wondering about the relationship between an insect species and the host plant or plants it feeds on.

Aphid systemetist Robert Foottit, DNA expert Eric Maw and aphid authority Keith Pike have been working with Miller on the identification of aphids, particularly the dreaded ...
Stroke rate rises for patients with HIV infection
2011-01-20
While the overall hospitalization rate for stroke has declined in recent years, the numbers have jumped dramatically for patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), suggesting they may be up to three times more likely to suffer a stroke than people uninfected by the virus that causes AIDS.
In a paper published in the Jan. 19 online issue of Neurology, Bruce Ovbiagele, MD, professor of neurosciences at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and Avindra Nath, MD, of Johns Hopkins University, reviewed a national dataset of all hospital ...
