Enhanced Eyelashes: Prescription and Over-the-Counter Options
Abstract
Mental retardation, growth retardation, unusual nose, and open mouth: An autosomal recessive entity
In this paper, I describe the investigations in three members of an extended consanguineous family from Saudi Arabia, in which nine members show severe mental retardation, long eyelashes, high nasal bridge, underdeveloped malae, low hanging columella, thin upper vermillion, and everted lower vermillion, retrognathia, and an open mouth apparently caused by mandibular dentoalveolar protrusion. Pedigree analysis makes it likely that this is an autosomal recessively inherited disorder.

Kirilow Faked Breast Cancer on FaceBook, Now in Custody
Ashley Anne Kirilow, of Burlington, Ontario, Canada, appeared in court this morning, brought up on charges of fraud. Kirilow is a 23-year old woman who told 5,668 FaceBook friends that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer, and asked for donations to her charity “Change” for a Cure. “Change” is what she got – between $3000 and possibly $20,000 worth of contributions were raised for this young woman who said she had been diagnosed with four types of terminal cancer. To convince sympathizers of her plight, Kirilow shaved her long dark hair, waxed away her eyebrows, and plucked her eyelashes, giving the appearance of a chemotherapy patient. She had the words “WONT QUIT” tattooed on her knuckles, and dressed in colors that emphasized her pale skin and slender build….Read Full Post …

Latisse gains popularity among those seeking longer, fuller lashes
St. Louis — As women become more familiar and comfortable with the idea of a medication that can help give them the kind of lush, long eyelashes they’ve always wanted, physicians have increasingly found themselves prescribing Latisse (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03 percent, Allergan) and addressing eyelash issues previously dealt with primarily at the cosmetics counter.

Modified Y-V Epicanthoplasty With Raised Medial Canthus in the Asian Eyelid [Surgical Technique]
To explore an epicanthoplasty with a good aesthetic effect and a small scar we designed a modified Y-V epicanthoplasty to raise and enlarge the medial canthus. From January 2006 to April 2009, 68 patients were treated with this method, using a simple procedure to eliminate the medial epicanthal fold of the upper eyelid.

From January 2006 to April 2009, 68 patients were treated with this method, using a simple procedure to eliminate the medial epicanthal fold of the upper eyelid. Scarring of the medial canthal area has not been a problem with this technique because we designed incisions along the eyelashes and the skin-mucosal junctions.

Glaucoma eye drops drug Latisse used OTC to make long eyelashes but some now face side effects
From the NYTimes:Latisse is the same formula as Lumigan, Allergan’s eyedrops for glaucoma, which reduces eye pressure but also happens to grow lashes. Both are also known as bimatoprost ophthalmic solution. In early 2009, Allergan introduced the drug as a lash enhancer.A former primary care doctor runs www.latisse.bz, which boasts that it is the “largest Latisse retailer.� All it takes to get Latisse mailed out — without ever seeing him — is filling out a medical history, which he reviews, and typing in a valid credit card number.But if people use Latisse without seeing a doctor, the side effects may come as a big surprise.Eyelid discoloration “may be reversible� according to the manufacturer.
