Rosacea is a chronic skin disease that affects both the adults and children of any skin type.

As the cause of Rosacea is yet to be known, the cure is still at large. Though complete cure is not known, scientific advancements are now offering Rosacea sufferers a ray of hope for controlling the symptoms of this chronic skin disease. Rosacea requires extended treatment periods that can bring back wellness for those who suffer from this skin disease. It has also been found that these extended treatments can cause many side effects. While the topical agents are known to cause high skin sensitivity, the antibiotics (oral) can affect the intestinal bacteria if used for a long period.

Well, Pyratine XR, a cosmeseutical, is known to give relief to Rosacea sufferers. The University of California, Irvine, which conducted a study on Rosacea, has revealed that Rosacea sufferers who were administered Pyratine XR showed improvements in all the major signs and symptoms of the skin disease.

After a 48-week clinical trial, the University of California researchers found an overall improvement in 80 per cent of the symptoms. It has been found that Pyratine XR brought in 90 per cent improvement in lesions, 28 per cent improvement in telangiectasia and 45 per cent improvement in erythema. The researchers also found significant improvement in skin barrier function, 41 per cent improvement in skin dryness and decrease in water loss. Pyratine-XR has also shown good cosmetic acceptability and good tolerability.

With this new Cosmeseutical, the Rosacea sufferers will have relief from all their pains.

In their study that includes 3,000 employed men, researchers from Sweden found that there was a strong link between the risk of heart attacks and other heart diseases, and bad leadership. This risk goes up if the employee works under this boss for long time.

The study has been published in Occupational and Environmental Medicine.

The results of some previous studies have shown that hot tempered and arrogant bosses may become the cause of driving up their workers’ blood pressure that may lead to higher risk of disease if persistent.

In their study, the researchers from Karolinska Institute and Stockholm University gathered information about the heart health of those male employees who worked around Stockholm area and aged 19 to 70.

The researchers found that there were 74 cases of serious heart attacks, acute angina and death from ischaemic heart disease over a period of ten years.

The participants of the study were asked to rate their bosses according to their leadership style on abilities like communication and giving feedback and setting goals for their staff etc.

The researchers found that the employees who rated their bosses as least competent had almost a 25% higher risk of a heart disease than those who rated their bosses as quite competent.

But a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study says that almost 70 percent people with high blood pressure are not doing enough to control it.

Dr. Keith Siller, who is medical director of the Comprehensive Stroke Care Center at New York University Langone Medical Center in New York City, says: “High blood has links with stroke and heart disease, it’s a treatable and preventable condition, but unfortunately majority of people are not doing a good job for controlling it.”

Almost every one out of three US adults is suffering from high blood pressure and according to the US National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, a reading above 140/90 mmHg is considered  high blood pressure while anything between 120/80 mmHg and 139/89 mmHg is considered pre-hypertension.

Exercise, blood-pressure lowering medications and diet serve as mainstays for blood pressure management and to control their blood pressure a lot of people have to take a combination of medications.

The US government researchers interviewed 25,000 Americans with high blood pressure to find what measures they had been taking to control their high blood pressure. Almost 98 percent (almost all) told that they had been doing at least one thing to lower their blood pressure. While only 31 percent had their high blood pressure under control.

1. To have a lot of moles or freckles on the skin.
2. To have gray, blue or green eyes.
3. To have red or blond hair
4. To suffer from severe sunburns early in life.
5. To have a family history of skin cancer
6. To go out in the sun frequently for long hours

So, if you have any of these common risk factors, you need proper care and guidance to avoid the disease.
