Wale Up Call
Anyone who has watched an episode of
"E.R" knows that medical residents
work punishing hours. Studies have
shown that sleep deprivation and fre-
quent awakenings undermine vigilance,
cognitive functions, reaction time and
mood.
To find out how much disrupted
sleep affects overworked resident physi-
cians, researchers at Johns Hopkins
Institutions in Baltimore compared the
risk of physicians falling asleep at the
wheel of a car with that of faculty mem-
bers who work regular hours. The resi-
dents were more likely to fall asleep at
stoplights, had more traffic citations for
moving violations and more traffic acci-
dents.
The residents typically worked every
fourth night on call, putting in a 33-
hour day with less than three hours
sleep. Experts say people need at least
five hours a night to preserve cognitive
skills.
Researchers say this type of depriva-
tion puts other drivers at risk, but it also
endangers patients who are treated by
the overworked doctors.
"I can't think of any other profes-
sion that makes people work such
long shifts," says pediatrician Dr.
Carole Marcus. Given the present
knowledge of sleep deprivation, medi-
cine's system is archaic."

PRESS RELEASE

New Product Line From Inventor of Gly Derm
TM
New Name of Product Line: eX,C \ eI Cosmeceuticals:
Something brand new at the office of Aesthetic Dermatology. Dr. Marvin Klein has gone
back into the laboratory and emerged with a revolutionary skin care line. As the founder
and inventor of the highly successful Gly Derm Products (now owned and distributed by
ICN Pharmaceuticals), Dr. Klein is recognized internationally as a pioneer in developing
cosmetic preparations that truly benefit the skin. His products have been used by over
1,500 doctors and 30 universities throughout the world. Developed both here and at
laboratories in Jerusalem
TM
ex C~ el cosmeceuticals contain:
... Alpha Amino Acids derived from sugar cane buds, much safer and far more effective
fruit acids than Glycolic acid, a product of mature sugar cane. (patent pending)
... A potent usable form of Vitamin C, one of the most important anti-aging and anti-
cancer agents in human skin. (patent pending)
... Anti-oxidant Minerals extracted from Dead Sea salts including Calcium and -
Magnesium. (patent pending)
... Purines, natural skin moisturizers and softeners.
TM
ex C~eI is more effective than any other Glycolic or Vitamin C product and is able to
quickly, effectively and safely reduce visible signs of aging such as wrinkling and photo-
pigmentation, while it improves the overall tone and texture of the skin.
Clinical tests have been so positive that patients are encouraged to return, within thirty
days, any ex C~ eiM product that they feel has not given them a satisfactory improvement
in the appearance of the skin.
Although eventual international distribution is planned*, at the present time ex C\eI
products are only available at Aesthetic Dermatology.
