Welcome to the year 2010 — Your most
beautiful year yet! Although it's almost Feb-
ruary, we still have time to set some realistic
and great goals. As 1 brought in the New Year,
I reminisced on the last decade o f resolutions,
Well, how did I do? Financially? I could
always do better. Spiritually? I’ve grown.
Health & Beauty? I’d rather not say! I’m sure
you can figure that one out! With so many o f
us goals to better ourselves have a way o f
getting pushed behind everything else. The
truth is: If we make it a priority to meet those
goals, everything else will take a turn for the
better. Our mood, relationships, our social life
and even the amount o f money we make.
According to a University o f Texas Econom-
ics Study, men and women who take care o f
themselves by maintaining a health and beauty
regimen, make 10 percent to 15 percent more
those who don’t.Couldn’t you use a bit more
dough? I know I can! There are so many small,
easy additions and changes in our routine
from food and exercise to Fashion And Beauty
which can add loads o f value to our life,
This year I personally invite you to enjoy

New Therapy for Heart Attacks

repair heart tissue
Cardiac patients are now being enrolled
in a new study designed to evaluate whether
adult stem cells are an effective means o f
restoring damaged heart muscle
Oregon Health & Science University is
enrolling research participants in a new
clinical trial that evaluates whether intrave­
nous infusions o f adult stem cells can re­
store damaged heart tissue in patients after
a heart attack.
OHSU is the only health center in the
Northwest, and one o f only approximately
40 in the world, to offer the experimental
treatment.

therapy administered within a week o f a
heart attack may reduce inflammation and
rebuild damaged heart muscle. The therapy,
called Prochymal, is a formulation o f adult
stem cells derived from the bone marrow o f
healthy adult donors.
If proven effective, this would be the first
time doctors are able to reverse the cardiac
injury inflicted by a heart attack. The therapy
also may reduce the chances o f developing
heart failure.
People who receive the treatment will be
followed for two years after receiving the
stem cell therapy .Participation in the study
includes a thorough health evaluation, study
related medications and tests at no cost to
the participants. For additional information
