Scleroderma cure on the horizon

Scleroderma is one of those rare diseases which has eluded the medical experts as there is no cure for it as yet. Although it’s rare but Scleroderma is often fatal as it causes the swelling of vital tissues. But all that stands to change as a group of researchers is actively working towards finding a cure. So far the group has identified the trigger mechanism for the disease and the chemical compounds that can ward it off. "Our findings provide a new approach to developing better treatment options where few have existed," said Richard Neubig, chairperson of the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology in MSU's College of Osteopathic Medicine.

My mini Rhinoplasty story

I am a female of Filipino origins so an aquiline nose came with the package sort of speak. Luckily in my case it wasn’t that pronounced but in the sixth grade I tripped and fell leaving me with an unsightly bump in the middle of the nose. At first I wasn’t that conscious or aware of the bump but as I aged it became more and more apparent to me that I needed to do something to get rid of it.  Without even realizing it I had become self-conscious about my profile and avoided getting snapped for close up pics which would display my unsightly nose bump.
