Baldness goodbye! From the genetic key to defeating
A group of German researchers’s Institute of Human Genetics at the University of Bonn, led by Regina Betz, discovered the gene that can influence the growth of hair. The news was published in the online version of Nature Genetics. The discovery was made through analysis of patients with two types of genetic disorders that affect hair growth. The first is the hereditary hypotrichosis simplex a genetic disease that causes hair loss from early childhood (hair loss, without regret, occurs most often around the sixth month of life); the latter is a rare disease that involves the growth of hair thinning, frizzy and dry.
For both diseases has been identified a mutation in the gene P2RY5.
The gene is found on cells of hair follicles and works like a real switch for hair growth, showing idle in case of baldness. But the real good news for all people with this annoying problem, too type-common “, is that German research was complemented by a study of the United States by Jerry Shapiro, professor of dermatology at the University of British Columbia, and Mrs. Vera Price, of the real authority in the field, which led to the identification of a molecule that can activate the gene P2RY5 and encouraging, so the hair growth.
J. Shapiro and V. Price, has long engaged in research and evaluation of active ingredients effective in stimulating hair growth have found, in experiments conducted on laboratory animals, that the acid lisofosfatidico (LPA) can encourage the proliferation of epithelial cells in hair follicles of mice. The two discoveries then open the way for new therapies in the treatment of baldness that may be given a genetic approach and the use of molecules that will solve, it’s really time to say, the problem at its source!

Meteorosensitivity: the gray sky and mood swings
You ever had to feel a low mood, tired and exhausted when it’s raining outside and the sky is colored a dark gray?
As it happens too often that mood changes and physical disturbances are felt to influence the climatic conditions or the change of seasons, then you have a real disease: the Meteor sensitivity.
The subject meteorosensibile, due to constitutional factors or acquired, has a particular predisposition to contract the Meteor sensitivity syndrome due to weather variations.
The person concerned starts to feel the symptoms before we realize the climate change, well in advance.
Climate change must be sharp to trigger the symptoms, which usually has induced acute and an equally rapid alleviation or disappearance with the cessation of weather conditions for the occurrence, or the realization of the climatic situation opposite.
The Meteor sensitivity, elderly affects both children, and in particular, people under stress. Bruschi weather can cause imbalances in Meteoric real shock weather, attacking the body.
The most famous are the Meteor sensitivity anemopatie, as the syndrome of the sirocco, the syndrome of wind east, Fhon syndrome, the syndrome of the South Wind and the syndrome of the desert wind; syndromes periods of thunderstorms, and the syndromes face cyclones.
He then speaks syndrome secondary Meteor sensitivity when climate change causes an acute exacerbation of chronic inflammatory or degenerative, as a result of abrupt climate changes, such as in a crisis of breathing difficulties in asthmatics and hepatic or renal colic in calculus.
Each organ or system that is already chronically ill appears to be an easy target for events meteoropathy.
In the case rather than to be hit are healthy subjects, Meteor sensitivity is manifested in the form of insomnia, restlessness, irritability, weakness, apathy, depression or hyperactivity.
The preliminary phase called prodromal, occurs even days before the storms, and is caused by the rise in positive ions in the air.
The subject feels respiratory functional changes and a state of hyper excitability Neurosis.
The stage where the disease takes place is configured with a state of decline, lowering blood pressure and depression.
But what are the possible remedies to the evil of the time?
The pharmacological treatments that are both natural anti-inflammatory to relieve pain, antihistamines for allergic reactions and a valuable aid are the care with acupuncture.
It can also diagnose Meteor sensitivity even in the absence of symptoms: There is indeed a test (Gualtierotti-Tromp) which controls the operation of the system of thermoregulation’s body.

Change of free sex to employees of Goldman Sachs
And well known that the bankers of Goldman Sachs earn lots of money, but now also have a bonus: the exchange of sex. Yes you read right! A finance company in fact has added benefits in health coverage to their employees even the sex change operation.
The sexual surgery that has a cost of between 5000 and 15,000 dollars from last year is fully borne by society. And Goldman Sachs is not the first to do so: the Bank of America, Wachovia, Deutsche Bank and other major banks, covering all or part of the cost of surgery for their employees.
The coverage of sex change operations is an obvious sign of openness on the part of Goldman Sachs serves not only to support their employees, but also to maintain a diverse workforce. Says Pauline Park, chair of the New York Assosiation for gender rights, “employers who do not fully understand the gender identity in their employment policies may send signals not favorable to their employees.”
GS is present in Italy for twenty years at Milan, with a hundred professionals “dedicated” to our market. Its bankers have recently witnessed the acquisition of Enel’s Endesa in Spain and are now helping Prada in the stock exchange listing, together with Mediobanca. In theory, they too are entitled to benefit-transgender.
But no one makes comments on the subject, except for one consideration: the benefit must be included especially in the American context, that of a changing society, and effort to attract and retain the best talent. From here we are anthology of creative writing courses, art history or sommelier who until recently, the Ferrari was financing his paintings, to develop or deepen their individual interests.
Now, the benefits enjoyed by more than 2926 employees of all the red mark is the complete check-up for themselves and their children of school age, to be repeated periodically. As well, needless to say, in place in the stands during the Grand Prix in Monza. Did you know that the benefits to bankers were so great?
