This was stated by three prominent dermatologists in the EFEsalud Dialogues debate “Alopecia and skin cancer”, organized by the EFE Agency in collaboration with the San Carlos Clinical Hospital Health Research Institute (IdISSC).

In this informative meeting they have participated:

• Dr. Susana Puig Sardá, head of the Dermatology Service at the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona; Professor of Dermatology at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Barcelona; and world leader in the field of diagnosis and treatment of melanoma and skin cancer.

• Doctor Javier Vázquez Doval, specialist in medical-surgical dermatology; coordinator of the Spanish Group of Cutaneous Oncology and Dermatological Surgery of the Spanish Academy of Dermatology; and a benchmark in the surgical treatment of skin cancer.

• Dr. Eduardo López Bran, head of the Dermatology Service at the San Carlos Clinical Hospital in Madrid; and full professor of Dermatology at the Faculty of Medicine of the Complutense University of Madrid. He appears in the Forbes list of the 100 best doctors in Spain and has investigated relevant dermatological drugs in worldwide clinical trials.

Alopecia can end in scalp cancer

Experts have evaluated the importance of studies and research from American and Italian universities that show the relationship between alopecia and scalp cancer.

Research from American universities has followed 36,000 patients for more than twenty years.

Regarding this work, Dr. Puig Sardá highlighted: “We have fairly strong evidence between alopecia and the risk of skin cancer. The study from North American universities observes that people with alopecia at the age of 45, twenty years later, increased the risk of basal cell carcinoma 23% and squamous cell carcinoma 33%. And the specific risk in the scalp is seven times higher than in those who did not have alopecia.”

Dr. López Bran added: “It is a long-term study with a large number of patients. We suspected that there was a direct relationship between alopecia and a higher incidence of scalp tumors with a poor prognosis and difficult treatment. The study comes to confirm these suspicions.

Dr. Vázquez Doval has added to the value of these investigations that have been carried out with highly motivated people, in personnel from the United States health system.

Prevention and early and accurate diagnosis of alopecia

Prevention and early diagnosis have been two of the aspects on which dermatologists have insisted.

“Efforts must be focused on primary prevention so that patients who have lost hair do not develop skin cancer on the scalp,” proposed Dr. Vázquez Doval, who has defended measures such as wearing a hat.

Dr. Puig stressed the importance of preventive measures: “The best treatment is prevention. Society must be told that lack of hair prevents natural protection, that hair protects and its loss allows ultraviolet radiation to damage our skin; simply, when the hair is lightened, you are already at risk.

López Bran has vindicated the role of the dermatologist and has underlined: “A correct diagnosis is necessary to know the cause of hair loss and establish the appropriate treatment to try to delay this loss, so that sun damage does not accumulate from an early age”.

“The incidence of scalp cancer is important. It represents a burden for the public health system and morbidity in many cases of patients”, added this dermatologist.

Dr. Vázquez Doval has stated that “small lesions on the scalp are very easily treated, better than when they grow in extension and depth. There are multiple techniques to treat it and, if the tumor has grown, a multidisciplinary treatment must be considered. In recent years there has been an arrival of new treatments that allow us to cure or almost cure skin cancer.”

Treatment of alopecia and hair transplant

“Alopecia is a disease that has a high incidence in the male and female population. At the age of 30, 30% of young people have it and it increases by 10% with each decade. It has aesthetic and also psychological importance”, has contextualized Eduardo López Bran, video blogger at EFEsalud.

Regarding hair transplants, López Bran, an expert in this technique, has highlighted the good results of these interventions, but has specified that “we must not forget that not everyone can be transplanted and that transplants have complications, you always have to do them within a comprehensive dermatological treatment”.

In this sense, Dr. Puig has remarked: “For a transplant to be successful, a global assessment of the patient is essential. It would not simplify, it is not a procedure like getting a tattoo, it is one more procedure within a therapeutic process”.

Dr. Vázquez Doval has highlighted that the diagnoses have to be made by the dermatologist “physically seeing the patient” and has warned of the existence of websites to which you send a photo and they tell you if you are a candidate for a hair transplant. “The diagnosis is not adequate if you do not see the patient”, he assured.

Conclusions

Three dermatologists, three conclusions after almost an hour of debate.

Susana Puig Sardá: “For me, the most important thing is to recognize the early signs of alopecia. If you don’t protect your scalp, you accumulate damage and pay the consequences later. Our hair is our best photoprotector. We must preserve it, and if we have lost it, solutions have to be found.”

Javier Vázquez Doval: “Skin cancer on the scalp used to be left to evolve, now it can be prevented, treated and resolved thanks to advances in medical and surgical treatments.”

Eduardo López Bran: “I want to highlight the great work of American and Italian colleagues in studies with an astonishing number of patients and almost a lifetime of research. We have diagnostic tools and training to establish the precise treatment needed by patients who are going to lose hair “.

It is speculated that the singer made some rudeness to his fiancee as apparently happened when Belinda prepared a big birthday party for Nodal.

At the moment the singer arrived at the place, he coldly thanked his girlfriend by kissing her on the forehead and cheek, a situation that the renowned singer would not have liked.

In addition, it is speculated that Nodal’s mother did not agree with the relationship and would have told Belinda herself to get away from her son, first because she is almost a decade older than him and her son was just starting his artistic career. .

Despite the fact that Cristian Nodal’s mother denied this version, the couple stopped following each other on social networks, a situation that ended in the final decision to end the relationship.

Couple 'vitamin': the keys to a good relationship

For a relationship to work, two components are needed: physical and psychological attraction and admiration, according to psychiatrist Marian Rojas Estapé, an expert in family therapy, who describes the keys to maintaining these elements, caring for and pampering the relationship, from most idyllic and easy to the most complex

“Why are there people who inspire us with confidence and whose mere presence comforts us? Is about ‘vitamin people’, those that bring out the best in you, inspire you, support you and thereby improve your immune system”, says psychiatrist Marian Rojas Estapé.

“Vitamin people help relieve tension, whose well-given hug can help us get through a tough time, whose trusting gaze can decisively propel us through a difficult challenge, and whose words of encouragement can break a sense of isolation,”

according to this renowned psychiatrist and writer.

The Dr. Rojas Estape (Madrid, Spain, 1983) works at the Spanish Institute for Psychiatric Research (IEIP).

She is a visiting professor at the IPADE business school in Mexico and focuses on treating people with anxiety, depression, personality disorders, behavioral disorders, as well as family therapies.

She is the author of the book ‘How to make good things happen to you’, one of the best sellers in 2019 and has recently published ‘Find your vitamin person’, where analyzes the close relationship between our happiness and our good relationships with those around us.

We are designed to live in family and in society, to relate and love each other. Human relationships make us stronger or weaker or can make us feel vulnerable.

Much of the quality of our life depends on how we relate, how we are able to love and receive the affection of others, he points out.

And the couple is one of the fundamental relationships of our lives, according to this expert, for whom “love, passion, attraction, desire, romanticism are different phases and moments of the relationship between two people where a bond is generated affective, physical or of a special partner”.

A relationship in permanent evolution

«Starting from the basis that we have correctly chosen our partner for a relationship and we are with a person who suits us, we can improve the chances of success of the relationship«, indicates the specialist.

“Enhance them beyond the initial crush, and transform them into a ‘vitamin partner’, who, like ‘vitamin people’, is a source of personal growth, confidence, inspiration, support and health,” he adds.

“For a relationship to work, two components are needed: physical and psychological attraction and admiration”,

According to Rojas Estapé.

He explains that a couple evolves through the thousand ups and downs of life, but for the glue that holds affection together to continue to exist, “it is necessary that these elements be maintained or continue to be promoted.”

Add this psychiatrist who couples have a natural and logical evolution that is not always accepted and «sometimes it leads to a point of discomfort, due to natural wear and tear. At that time it is convenient to take back the reins and make an effort to fight for the other.

«We need to look at each other again and say ‘we love each other, we understand each other, we want this to continue but we have worn ourselves out. We have become people who sometimes make us suffer instead of making us happy.”

points out.

“To preserve a relationship, from the most idyllic and easy to the most complex, we must want to take care of it and want to pamper it,” he emphasizes.

«The success of a relationship lies in how well both members know how to get out of conflicts. In generosity in giving and forgiving and in how they communicate with each other«, according to Rojas Estapé.

The expert describes four keys that in moments of difficulties in the couple can help us discover if we are neglecting any of the pillars of healthy love.

The four pillars of a couple that works

1. Work on communication.

This expert recommends paying attention to how we speak, communicate and express what we feel.

He advises avoiding “taking out the list of past grievances and wounds.”

He warns that in anger, the brain brings to light the blows, wounds, damages, offenses, slights and contempt that the other person has done to us.

“One needs to transmit and express their pain and anger for so many bad times.”

In those moments “watch your words, since they have a direct impact on the other person, on you and on the consolidation of the relationship”.

2. Analyze your sensitivity.

How do things affect you? Do you give a second thought to any negative comments? Do you suffer disproportionately in the face of a bad face or an insignificant fact?» asks this psychiatrist.

He recommends giving the things that happen to us the value they truly have: “advice that will help us in all matters of life,” he says.

3. Beware of the imagination.

«90% of the things we worry about never happen. They are not real, they are the product of the imagination, but they have a direct impact on our body », she warns.

«I’m sure he likes someone else», «he ignores me», «he doesn’t care about the children», «he will forget the date of our anniversary», «he doesn’t want to be with me, he prefers to be with his friends»,

These are some examples of toxic and harmful internal dialogues, according to the expert.

That is why he recommends to the members of a couple that, when they are well, in a peaceful moment of the relationship, write a letter or a note on your mobile describing everything that moves you to continue with the other person”.

In the bad stages, rereading that document will become a balm for the mind “that reminds us of how good the other is and keeps us away from negative thoughts,” he proposes.

4. Pay attention to details.

“Love is nourished by details”, points out this psychiatrist who advises to show our love and affection through messagescaresses, pampering, delicacy and hugs.

«Showing what we feel, through a culinary detail, some flowers, a note on the bed, an emoticon, a surprise, a moment of calm and peace together in an unexpected place or a pleasant conversation, are food for the relationship» ,

stands out.

«The one who does not know how to express affection may have a problem maintaining the relationship. If you notice that it is something you do not like or it is difficult for you, he asks for help, reads about it or talks to someone close. Surely little by little you can overcome that barrier », she concludes.

CNN's Zucker Resigns After Relationship with Co-worker

CNN President Jeff Zucker resigned abruptly after nine years at the media company after acknowledging a consensual relationship with a co-worker.

Zucker said he acknowledged the relationship when asked about it as part of an investigation into Chris Cuomo, the former CNN anchor who was fired after it was discovered he aided his brother, then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, as he navigated a sexual harassment investigation.

“I was required to disclose it when it began but I didn’t,” Zucker wrote. “I was wrong.”

Chris Cuomo actively helped craft his brother’s responses to sexual harassment charges, according to emails and a transcript of his testimony to investigators working for state Attorney General Letitia James. Her office found Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed at least 11 women; the former governor resigned in August to avoid a likely impeachment trial.

In a statement Zucker said he had wished that his tenure had ended differently but, “it was an amazing run. And I loved every minute.”

Jeff Zucker was named Chairman, WarnerMedia News and Sports in March, 2019. He has also served as President of CNN Worldwide since 2013.

Zucker oversees all of WarnerMedia’s live programming, including all divisions of CNN Worldwide and Turner Sports. At CNN, that includes the US television network, CNN International, HLN, and CNN’s digital properties. His sports portfolio includes Turner Sports, and Bleacher Report.
