2012-01-05

ST. LOUIS, MO, January 05, 2012 (Press-News.org) Premier podiatrist in St. Louis, MO, Dr. Richard Wittock, is pleased to offer patients a new treatment for toenail fungus treatment, hair removal, varicose veins, and soft tissue lesion removal. Treatments above the ankle level are available through Dr. Wittock's medical director, Dr. Aisenstat, patients can visit Ankle and Foot Institute to experience treatment with the new Fotona Laser.

"I am proud to announce that the world class Fotona podiatry laser is now available in our office and is ready to treat toenail fungus. This is the only podiatry Fotona laser system in the state of Missouri and we are privileged to provide its services in our office. Not to mention, my medical director is also available to utilize this laser for various treatments of the body," said Dr. Richard Wittock, St. Louis, MO podiatrist.

Ankle and Foot Institute now offers laser treatment for nail fungus in St. Louis with Fotona. The Fotona laser system offers superior laser physics to competing systems and is proven to be the most effective treatment for eliminating toenail fungus, toe hair removal, spider-vein removal, and other treatments.

Topical medications generally do not work to clear a fungal infection, but do offer protection to a healthy nail from fungus development. That leaves three options to eliminate nail fungus: oral antifungal (taking a pill for 3-6 months), surgical removal of the nail, or the third and newest option of St. Louis laser treatment for nail fungus. This is a great option for patients that want to avoid medication and pain commonly associated with nail removal.

"There is nothing else quite like the Fotona laser treatment anywhere on the market today. You can find imitators, with substandard results, but nothing that is proven like Fotona. From toenail hair removal to toenail fungus removal, a couple quick treatments will have a patient's problem gone," said Dr. Richard Wittock, providing superior podiatric care in areas such as toenail fungus, plantar fasciitis and orthotics in St. Louis.

Patients are encouraged to call Dr. Richard Wittock, podiatrist in St. Louis, for more information on how the Fotona laser works to treat toenail fungus, and for a proper consultation at (636) 717-1100 or by visiting the website for Ankle and Foot Institute at http://www.ankleandfootinstitute.com.

With traditional approaches to treating toenail fungus being so disagreeable, or limited in their effectiveness, the Ankle and Foot Institute of St. Louis, MO, is excited to now offer a more effective treatment for patient's toenail fungus problems with the Fotona laser.

URI pharmacy researcher discovers new gene that regulates body weight

KINGSTON, R.I. – January 4, 2012 – Abraham Kovoor was studying a brain protein, called RGS9 2, that he had previously related to the involuntary, random and repetitive body movements that are side effects of drugs used to treat Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia.

Salt water alone unlikely to halt Burmese python invasion

2012-01-05

2012-01-05

The toothiest prehistoric predators also had beefier arm bones, according to results of a study published today in the journal Paleobiology. Saber-toothed tigers may come to mind, but these extinct cats weren't the only animals with fearsome fangs. Take the false saber-toothed cats--also known as nimravids--and their catlike cousins, a family of carnivores called the barbourofelids. These mammal groups lived millions of years before cats came to be, and had knife-like canines along with well-built arm bones, said Julie Meachen, a paleontologist at the National Science ...

Fish mimics octopus that mimics fish

2012-01-05

SAN FRANCISCO (January 4, 2012) — Nature's game of intimidation and imitation comes full circle in the waters of Indonesia, where scientists have recorded for the first time an association between the black-marble jawfish (Stalix cf. histrio) and the mimic octopus (Thaumoctopus mimicus). Undescribed by scientists until 1998, the talented mimic octopus is known to impersonate toxic flatfish, lionfish, and even sea snakes by creatively configuring its limbs, adopting characteristic undulating movements, and displaying bold brown-and-white color patterns. Thanks to these ...
