A is for acne.

Acne is caused by hormones, androgen, and follicular keratinization, which leads to blocked pores, and P. acnes bacteria, which cause pustule form. Dermatologists report that acne treatments, like the skin of suffers, are clearly getting better. New treatments and the refinements of mainstay ones have changed the face of acne treatment. One advantage of the newer, more effective treatments is that patients now take lower doses of antibiotics for shorter periods of time.

Do we know the answers to genetic testing?

Advances in prenatal screening, the development of new direct DNA tests for once rare familial diseases, and society's improved understanding and acceptance of genetic screening prior to conception, will keep genetic counselors busier than ever in the 21st century. As more and more direct DNA tests become available through the work of the Human Genome Project, genetic counselors like UMDNJ's Lorraine Suslak will become even more valuable to time-pressed physicians. Indeed, advances are made so fast in this area, that when patients come to Alan E. Donnenfeld, MD, for prenatal diagnosis, he often contacts Helix, a national organization that keeps a database of the latest tests available.

The war on cancer: from the benign to the malignant.

When the war on cancer was declared by the United States Congress in 1971, optimism was high that a magic bullet could be found to cure the cluster of diseases collectively known as cancer. Now, 26 years later, the dream of discovering a single antidote has long since been abandoned. Instead what began more than two and one-half decades ago has led researchers to an understanding of the complex workings of cancerous cells and what goes wrong in normal cells to cause the ominous changes that lead to the disease.

New Jersey transplant programs: alive, well, and growing.

New Jersey-based health care programs suffer from an image problem. Too often our citizens are wooed away by the bright lights and more established programs of big cities to our north and west. In spite of the long shadows cast by New York City and Philadelphia, the state's organ transplant programs are alive, well, and growing. In fact, New Jersey physicians not referring transplant candidates to in-state programs may be doing these patients a disservice.

She's got heart: a patient's story.

For her 40th birthday, Ann O'Hanlon of Saddlebrook gave herself and her family a present: a complete physical. But Mrs. O'Hanlon, who always had experienced heart palpitations, or as she puts it, "a racy heart," did not fare well. She did have an inkling something wasn't quite right. At home she was finding it increasingly difficult to raise her arms or lift her legs. But she had no idea how bad the situation was or was to become.
