Bioelements Power Peptide Spray
The Bioelements brand continues to impress me. It seems that I like everything that I try from them, and my latest favorite is their Bioelements Power Peptide Spray.

The Bioelements brand continues to impress me. It seems that I like everything that I try from them, and my latest favorite is their Bioelements Power Peptide Spray
Peptides are one of the hot active ingredients that have been shown to have an effect on fine lines and wrinkles. Usually peptides are put into creams and lotions, or occasionally a serum. But Bioelements decided to try something new — they made a spray.
This is quite a unique product. The liquid and lightly moisturizing spray allows for an easy application of peptides that can then be followed by other serums and creams. I love the concept, because often I want to apply something with peptides, yet also want to use my moisturizing sunscreen, and I don’t want to layer two creams. So putting the actives in a spray is genius!
The spray itself is quite comfortable. Because it contains various light moisturizing ingredients and oils, it does not dry out the skin. I didn’t find it to be anything more than minimally moisturizing though, so if you have dry skin, the spray won’t make it drier, but it also won’t substitute for you regular cream or lotion. I have been using it right before applying serums and sunscreen.
This is yet another highly recommend Bioelements product!

Adding HIV Tests to Routine Medical Care

Pregnant women in New Jersey will get routine HIV tests under a law signed Wednesday. Because the virus is transmitted largely through sexual activity and intravenous drug use, the move may take some of the stigma out of HIV testing by integrating it into mainstream care.
The law allows women to opt out of an HIV test if they don’t want one. State officials say the law is designed to reduce the number of infants born with HIV; when doctors know a woman carries the virus, which causes AIDS, they can take steps that drastically reduce the risk she will pass it to her newborn baby.
About 5,700 women in New Jersey have AIDS, according to the AP. Seven of roughly 115,000 babies born there in 2005 were born with HIV.
Meanwhile, according to the CDC, some 25% of people with HIV are unaware that they are infected. Last year, the agency recommended that everyone between the ages of 13 and 64 be offered an HIV test as part of routine medical care. The New Jersey law is a step in this direction.
Four states (Michigan, Arkansas, Texas and Tennessee) have laws similar to New Jersey’s policy of testing pregnant women. And three (New York, Connecticut and Illinois) have mandatory testing for newborn babies. The New Jersey law will require testing of newborns when the mother is HIV positive or when her HIV status is unknown.
The American Civil Liberties Union and some women’s groups have argued that the New Jersey law deprives women of authority to make medical decisions, according to the AP.

Good News for Glaxo Inhaler
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) taking GlaxoSmithKline’s Seretide were half as likely to die as those taking Pfizer’s Spiriva, according to a Glaxo-funded study.

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) taking GlaxoSmithKline’s Seretide were half as likely to die as those taking Pfizer’s Spiriva, according to a Glaxo-funded study.
But the dosage of the Glaxo drug used in the study (sold in this country as Advair) is not approved in the U.S. to treat COPD — and it doesn’t sound like such an approval is imminent.
The study, published today in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, randomly assigned more than 1,300 patients to take either Seretide or Spiriva. The study’s main goal was to compare how well the drugs prevented exacerbations of COPD, a deadly lung disease. On that measure, the medications performed about the same.
But researchers also found that 6% of those taking Spiriva died during the two-year study, compared with 3% of those taking Seretide.
The study was conducted in Europe, and patients assigned to Seretide took a 500 microgram dose of the drug. But earlier this year, the FDA refused to approve that dosage for COPD. Glaxo said the agency wanted to know how the higher dosage compared with a lower dosage of the drug that is approved for some COPD patients.
So will this study send Glaxo back to the FDA to ask again? Glaxo spokesman Philip Thomson told the Health Blog that’s not likely, both because of the FDA’s recent refusal to approve the dosage and because the new study was conducted in Europe.
“Its a study that weve shared with the FDA, but were not planning to request that the data be incorporated into the label,” he said.
