• work with a neurologist (a specialist in
the diagnosis and treatment of disor-
ders of the nervous system) and a neu-
rosurgeon. There also are tumor board
meetings every week that emphasize
multiple disciplines to diagnose and
treat a patient in the best possible way
Rosenblum is particularly excited
about the Parkinson's disease program.
He hired a surgeon from the Universi-
ty of Toronto who was "one of the
first to perform new FDA-approved
stimulators for Parkinson's disease.
You've got to see some of these results,
people who were devastated and debil-
itated now being able to move." That
particular treatment is used only when
medication fails.
For the spine and neurotrauma pro-
gram, which works with the depart-
K-3
ment of orthopedics and is the fastest-
growing area (it also oversees three of
the city s professional sports teams: the
Lions, Tigers and Red Wings), Rosen-
blum two years ago recruited the head
of spine surgery from the University of
California - San Francisco. He also
recruited the only dual-boarded neu-
rosurgeon/orthopedic surgeon in the
country.
Rosenblum's staff is very loyal.
"He's an extremely charismatic leader
and can look at things from many per-
spectives," says Stacey Folbe, the
administrative manager of the depart-
ment of neurosurgery. Folbe says
Rosenbloom is not only respected by
the staff, the associates and the resi-
dents, but also by the patients.
"From a patient's perspective, he'll
walk into a room, he'll sit down and
nothing else will matter. The patient is
the only person in the world for him,"
says Folbe.
Each program within Rosenblum's
department has a laboratory that
investigates the causes of diseases. "For
example," says Rosenblum, "in the
brain tumor lab we've discovered why
some of the tumors spread throughout
>
the brain and therefore become more
malignant in their behavior.
"We're about to bring out in clini-
cal trial our first treatment to stop it
from spreading. That's one of the first
in the country," he says.
"And we believe that our scientists
have discovered some novel genes
responsible for brain tumor develop-
O ment in the first place."
In the epilepsy area, the department
is trying to block seizures with radia-
tion rather than surgery. "If we can
identify where the epilepsy is corning
from, then maybe we can use radia-

New Product Line From Inventor of Gly Derm

New Name of Product Line:

ex/u \ eu

TM

Cosmeceuticals:

Something brand new at the office of Aesthetic Dennatology. 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

ex,\C:e I TM 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.

ex;C/ \ el TM 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 exiC\el TM 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;e1 TM
products are only available at Aesthetic Dermatology.
