It's almost time for the third series of Skins to begin, and the majority of you are looking forward to the new episodes featuring an almost all new cast. In our Best Of 2008 polls, you voted it as your favourite British TV show of 2008, and I hope they manage to keep everything you love about the show with this new crew of kids, led by Tony's younger sister Effy (Kaya Scodelario). The series starts on January 22, and here's the traditional abstract trailer featuring the cast (NSFW) as well as some photos of the gang of kids that will take Tony, Jal, Chris, Cassie, Sid, Anwar, Maxxie and Michelle's places.

Understated. That's the usual image of Sid we get on Skins, and that's why I've been looking forward to a more in-depth Sid-centric episode for a while. And what an episode it was.

Symptoms
- Because significant depression can affect more than 50% of people with scleroderma, researchers say it may be beneficial for scleroderma patients to get routine screening for depression.
Causes
- Researchers have discovered a gene called connective-tissue growth factor (CTGF), which they say is more common in people with systemic scleroderma than in those without the disease.
Prognosis
- The prognosis for patients with systemic scleroderma has improved since the 1970s. Ten-year survival rates are up, and deaths from kidney crises have dropped. However, deaths from pulmonary fibrosis have increased during this time period.
Treatment
- High-dose immunosuppressant therapy with cyclophosphamide significantly improved skin and overall function in patients with scleroderma.
- Evidence shows that intravenous iloprost given in progressively increasing doses can reduce the duration and frequency of Raynaud's phenomenon attacks.
- A potential new therapy using PVAC, a substance derived from the bacterium, Mycobacterium vaccae, can improve skin symptoms without causing significant side effects.
Introduction
The name scleroderma comes from the Greek words skleros, which means hard, and derma, which means skin.

New Guidelines for Localized Prostate Cancer
In 2007, the American Urological Association (AUA) released updated guidelines for treatment of localized prostate cancer. The guidelines recommend that:
- Patients should be classified as low, intermediate, or high risk, depending on their PSA levels, cancer stage, and tumor aggressiveness.
- Doctors need to consider patients’ personal preferences and quality of life concerns as well as their clinical status.
- Standard treatment options include active surveillance (watchful waiting), surgery, or radiation therapy. Initial androgen deprivation therapy (hormone therapy) is seldom recommended for localized prostate cancer.
New Guidelines for Androgen Deprivation Therapy
- The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2007 guidelines recommend that doctors delay androgen deprivation therapy for advanced prostate cancer until patients develop symptoms.

Drug Approval
In September 2006, the Food and Drug Administration approved panitumumab (Vectibix) for the treatment of patients with colorectal cancer that has spread to other parts of the body following chemotherapy. Like cetuximab (Ertibux), panitumumab targets the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) on cancer cells. Panitumumab is the first new colorectal cancer drug approved since 2004.
