Docs Get 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." Alison Ashton writes for Copley News Service. NEWSLETTER PRESS RELEASE JANUARY 30,1998 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.
