SLU researchers to look at laser treatment for acne scars
ST on Monday, January 14, 2008 ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Researchers at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine plan to test a special laser treatment that might improve acne scars on people with darker skin. The scars are difficult to remove. Physicians usually treat the scars by removing the surface of the skin with powerful lasers or chemical treatments. These treatments can cause discoloration for people with darker skin. Dermatologists at Saint Louis University plan a clinical trial to see if a gentler laser treatment might help. The technique would use lasers that bypass the surface of the skin and stimulate collagen growth underneath. .
Private wakes for frozen tots
YELLOW QUILL RESERVE, Sask. -- A Saskatchewan community is preparing to say goodbye to two little girls who froze to death earlier this week. But the Yellow Quill First Nation wants to do it without the media there. Chief Robert Whitehead said yesterday they banned the media at the request of the family and the band's elders, to allow people time to mourn. "A lot of times, our belief system's kind of overlooked when something like this happens. It's not respected, and therefore I think our young people are beginning to see that, nobody else respects it, why should we respect it?" RCMP say the two girls were taken outside by their father early Tuesday morning and ended up freezing to death in a field by their home. .
