Objective This study aims at describing the clinical characteristics of patients with acne using skin bleaching (SB) products.
Patients and methods This is a prospective study conducted over 8 months in three dermatology departments and one private clinic. All patients examined for acne were included in the study.
Results The study included 119 patients examined for acne from March to October 2010. Among them 48 (40.7%) did SB. Hydroquinone was the first product used for SB (26 of 48), followed by topical corticosteroids (17 of 48). The elementary lesions were papules (99.2%), comedos (36.1%), pustules (63.9%), pigmentation (26.1%), scars (21%), and nodules (20.2%). The extent of acne on the face was observed in all patients (100%). The lesions were extensive among 43.7% of the patients. The extent of acne lesions was not statistically associated with SB. Other body areas concerned were the chest (20.2%), back, and shoulders (41.2%). The relative risk of having lesions on the back and/or shoulders when the patient practiced SB was 2.71 (CI: 1.08–6.84), which is significant.
Conclusion The study suggests that the back and shoulders can be the main areas for acne lesions associated with the practice of SB. The influence of different types of product is unclear.
Acne is the main cause of dermatological consultation in Lomé and sub-Saharan Africa.1,2 Skin inflammatory processes and pigmentary sequels are distinctive features/the peculiarities of acne in people with black skin.3 Induction of acne is well documented, including from the use of skin bleaching (SB) in sub-Saharan Africa.2,4,5 SB is a social phenomenon in Togo.6 Although the clinical characteristics of induced acne are well known, those related to acne due to SB products (hydroquinone, topical corticosteroids, and mercury derivatives) remain sparsely documented. The aim of our study was to describe the clinical characteristics of acne in patients using SB.
Patients and methods
This was a prospective study over 8 months (March–October 2010). All patients examined for acne were included; they were outpatients consulting for acne at the dermatology department in Tokoin and Campus teaching hospitals, as well as at Gbossimé Dermatology Center, and in one private dermatology clinic. The diagnosis of acne was clinical, and data on skin product use were collected by interview and examination of samples of products brought by the patient. Acne that spread was considered when the elementary lesions were located on more than two of the following sites: face, chest, and back/shoulder. Evaluated products included soaps, ointments, creams, and body lotions. Other signs and complications of SB were investigated by physical examination. We considered all patients as a cohort, and we calculated relative risks by taking SB as a risk factor.
In total, 119 patients aged from 11 to 49 years (average age 23.4 years ± 6.4) were examined. We noted a female predominance: 96 were female (80.7%) and 23 male (19.3%) patients. The average age of women (23.6 years) was slightly higher than that of men (22.7 years). This difference was not significant.
Among the 119 patients, 48 (40.7%) practiced SB. Among the latter, 21.7% had used SB for less than 3 months, 41.3% from 3 to 12 months, and 37% over 12 months. The use of SB was statistically associated with females (P < 0.0005). Among the 48 patients who practiced SB, 46 were female versus two males.
Hydroquinone was the first product used for SB (26 of 48 cases), followed by topical corticosteroids (17 of 48 cases). Products containing the two active ingredients were used by four patients.
The extent of acne on the face was observed in all patients (100%). The lesions were extensive in 43.7% of patients. The extent of lesions was not statistically associated with SB. The other body areas with acne were the chest (20.2%), back, and/or shoulders (41.2%). The relative risk of having acne lesions on one's back and/or shoulders when the patient practiced SB was 2.71 (CI: 1.08–6.84). This relation was significant (P = 0.02694).
Other noticeable complications of SB were pigmentation disorders (five cases), stretch marks (four cases), and skin atrophy (two cases); one case of exogenous ochronosis and one of infection were also observed.
The use of SB products is a social phenomenon among black people in Africa. The results of a survey on 910 women in Lomé showed that 58% used SB.5 The results from our study are congruent with those from this investigation.
The occurrence of acne during the practice of SB is often reported. Acne was the main reason for consultation due to SB in Brazzaville2 and it represented 29% of complications in a study carried out in Bamako.7 The occurrence of acne on SB-treated skin areas, particularly the face, and related unaesthetic condition, prompt patients using SB to ask for medical advice about the cause of acne and obtain dermatologist instructions for proper treatment to get rid of it.
Historically, induced acne was said to be caused by oily vehicles such as vegetable oils or Vaseline contained in so-called comedogenic products. However, in the case of SB, acne is assumed to be due to topical corticosteroids, which can provoke or aggravate lesions.8 However, in our cohort, there was no association between the type of product used and observed acne lesions. A case–control study is needed to assess the role of different SB products in the onset and clinical characteristics of acne.
Although only indicative, our results showed that the relative risk of having acne lesions on the back and shoulders when the patient used SB was significant. The upper back and shoulders are the typical areas affected by acne lesions. The application of SB products on these areas, which are usually covered can cause or aggravate acne by occlusion phenomenon.
Our study confirms that SB is used mainly, but not exclusively, by females. Hydroquinone and corticosteroids are the most used SB products.
The results of our study suggest that the back and shoulders can be the main areas affected by acne lesions associated with the practice of SB. A case–control study on a large cohort would assess the influence of different types of bleaching products on the clinical characteristics of acne.

When much-beloved drummer/singer Levon Helm of The Band passed away on April 19, musicians from all genres and generations paid tribute at their concerts, in interviews and on Twitter. But on October 3rd at New Jersey's Izod Center, a number of legends will pay tribute to him at a concert called "Love For Levon."
The lineup for the show includes Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Gregg Allman, Jorma Kaukonen from Jefferson Airplane, Mavis Staples from The Staples Singers and Joe Walsh, along with John Mayer, My Morning Jacket, Ray LaMontagne, Warren Haynes of The Allman Brothers Band, John Hiatt, Bruce Hornsby, Lucinda Williams, members of Levon Helm's band, and country stars Dierks Bentley and Eric Church. An all-star backing band will be led by Larry Campbell, Helm's musical director for the last few years of his life, and super-producer Don Was.
All net proceeds from the concert will help Helm's estate keep ownership of his home, barn and studio, and to continue the "Midnight Ramble Sessions," which Helm hosted and headlined in the last few years of his life. "We are deeply moved that so many musicians and friends of Levon's are coming together to celebrate his life and his music, and to help us keep his musical spirit and vision alive in the Midnight Rambles," said Sandy and Amy Helm, Helm's wife and daughter, in a press statement. "We want to continue to honor his legacy by creating a musical landmark at the Barn, one that inspires and celebrates Americana music and its heritage."
Helm's original "Midnight Rambles" in the early 2000s were originally fundraisers so that he could afford to pay his medical bills and keep his barn and property, but they soon took on a life of their own, and became an attraction in their own right.
Tickets for the concert go on sale to the general public on Wednesday, August 29.

Major role played by the Big Banks in military warfare as well as financial warfare with a close relationship to the policies and assaults by the Pentagon and NATO. In early August, Goldman Sachs appointed NATO's former Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen as a financial consultant. Over the last five years (2009-2014), Rasmussen was actively involved in coordinating NATO's humanitarian bombing raids in the Middle East not to mention NATO military deployments on Russia's doorstep in Eastern Europe, the Baltic States and the Black Sea. During his stint as Prime Minister of Denmark (2001-2009), Rasmussen was involved (under a neoliberal policy agenda) in dismantling Denmark's welfare state alongside the privatization of state assets.

Seven years after the Wall Street crash of September 2008, fears are growing within ruling circles internationally that the world capitalist economy, far from recovering, is descending into depression. There is increasing speculation as to where the next financial meltdown, triggering a collapse in trade and production, will occur.The very countries previously touted as the "engines" of world economic growth following the 2008 recession, China and the so-called "emerging market" economies, are now seen as the places most likely to spark a new global downturn.

Of course the Russian media is far from perfect. They put out pro-Russian propaganda just like the U.S. media puts out pro-American propaganda.

Most of these stock market crashes are occurring in nations that are known as "emerging markets". In recent years, developing countries in Asia, South America and Africa loaded up on lots of cheap loans that were denominated in U.S. dollars. But now that the U.S. dollar has been surging, those borrowers are finding that it takes much more of their own local currencies to service those loans. At the same time, prices are crashing for many of the commodities that those countries export. The exact same kind of double whammy caused the Latin American debt crisis of the 1980s and the Asian financial crisis of the 1990s.

I have maintained since the so-called Greek Debt "crisis" began back in 2010, I believe it was, that the imposition of austerity on Greece could not possibly work and that the only solution was to write down the debt to a level that Greece could service and introduce reforms that loosen the hold the oligarchs have on the Greek economy. The current Greek government has taken the same position, and now the IMF has joined us.

Debt Slave Debt Slavery Debt Bondage Debt Chains - Public DomainCould you live without debt? Most Americans say that they cannot. According to a brand new Pew survey, approximately 7 out of every 10 Americans believe that "debt is a necessity in their lives", and approximately 8 out of every 10 Americans actually have debt right now. Most of us like to think that "someday" we will get out of the hole and quit being debt slaves, but very few of us ever actually accomplish this. That is because the entire system is designed to trap us in debt before we even get out into the "real world" and keep us in debt until we die. Sadly, most Americans don't even realize what is being done to them.

The London Borough of Westminster
City of Westminster It is impossible to even begin to capture everything that Westminster - the seat of Britain's government - has to offer. From stately Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament to the raucous Soho nightlife, from the bustle of Oxford Street, to the rolling vistas of the Royal Parks it would take weeks to describe everything to see and do in London's heartland. It also contains some of the best shopping in London, with Covent Garden's bustling market, the boutiques of Soho and Carnaby Street, and the towering department stores around Oxford Circus. As the shops close, London's West End comes alive, with dozens of theatres and music venues, and hundreds of bars and restaurants making sure that this is a borough that never sleeps.

Lyle cranks up for US PGA Tour return
Jarrod Lyle will fly to the United States this month and pull out his golf clubs in preparation for his return to the US PGA Tour.RAY SIZER June 12, 2014 3:05am
Jarrod Lyle is closing in on his return to the US PGA Tour after beating leukaemia for a second time.
Two-time leukaemia survivor Jarrod Lyle will fly out of Australia for the United States this month to prepare for his US PGA Tour comeback.
On his new website jarrodlylegolf.com, Lyle has confirmed his first tournament will be the Midwest Classic in Kansas on the Web.com tour starting July 24. He will then play two other Web.com tour events, including the News Sentinel Open in Knoxville, Tennessee that Lyle won in 2008.
Lyle's first confirmed start on the US PGA Tour is the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in Las Vegas, Nevada starting October 16, but he is also hoping for a sponsor's invite to Frys.com in Nappa, California the week before.
Lyle last played on the PGA Tour at the Mayakoba Golf Classic in Mexico in 2012, where he finished in a tie for 37th.
He returned home to Shepparton soon after for the birth of his daughter Lusi, but was rushed to hospital in Melbourne and diagnosed with the return of acute myeloid leukaemia, the same disease that struck him down aged 17.
Lyle was able to be back in Shepparton for the birth, but returned to Melbourne the next day to start his battle against the disease.
In his website blog Lyle states ''I still have a long way to go, and lots of hard work to face before I will hopefully feel ready for life on tour, but I am determined to do everyone proud and compete with the best in the world once again''.

If you have a DP2M, do you contemplate acquiring a DP3M?
Dec 26, 2013
Let me disclose this right off.....I suffer from GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome). My DP2M is wonderful. Though I mostly shoot Fuji X100S or Panasonic GH3 or Nikon D3S/D800E, my DP2M gets its fair share of use. However, I can't stop lusting for the DP3M.
If you have both, do you feel that zooming with your feet makes the DP2M sufficient without needing the DP3M, or do you also suffer from GAS?
Opinions, please!

'Timecop' Remake Gets 'Journey 2' Writers
"Timecop" reboot moves forward with Mark and Brian Gunn. The writers of "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island" are booked to work in tandem to pen the screenplay for the remake of the 1994 Jean-Claude Van Damme time-travel action movie.
Marc Shmuger ("We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks", "The Spectacular Now") will serve as a producer. Dark Horse's Mike Richardson, who created the comics the movie was based on, will be involved in the project as an executive producer.
The original feature was directed by Peter Hyams and followed a police officer fighting a sly politician who used time travel for his career. Van Damme shared screen with Mia Sara, Ron Silver, and Gloria Reuben. It was co-produced by Sam Raimi and Robert G. Tapert.
The movie spawned a TV series which ran for nine episodes in 1997, a video game, and a direct-to-video sequel called "Timecop 2: The Berlin Decision" which starred Jason Scott Lee and Thomas Ian Griffith.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the upcoming reboot will be "a more gritty and grounded police story with the sci-fi in the background."
