Dermatology Art Contest by Mayo Clinic shows that art can be seen in every aspect of life
A Mayo Clinic dermatology art contest shows beauty really is skin deep. From Mayo Clinic News blog:
A hair follicle or skin specimen that doesn’t look like much of anything to the naked eye can become a complex, colorful work of art under a microscope. The winner of the Mayo dermatologists’ first art contest in 2011 was “Hair Follicle Triplet”. Alexander Meves, M.D., used fluorescent dyes to highlight proteins. The inaugural winners of the art contest appeared in the May issue of the Journal of Cutaneous Pathology.
“Every single day, dermatopathologists get to see beautiful images under the microscope, and most people never have the opportunity to see that. So I thought it would be a nice way to show not only the science of dermatopathology, but also the art,” says the contest’s creator, Dr. Lehman, a Mayo Clinic dermatopathologist.
Dr. Lehman hopes medical societies will run with the idea and hold similar competitions to highlight aesthetics in their specialties. People in other lines of work can also celebrate the beauty of what they do each day, she says.
Editor's note: Allergists should do something similar. We already highlight beautiful pollen allergens on the monthly covers of the ACAAI journal.
“Art can be seen in every aspect of life,” Dr. Lehman says. “You just have to have an open mind and be looking for it.”

Diary-Writing Has Psychological Benefits – Journal of Happiness Studies
Writing has long been used as a coping strategy and has been applied to improve psychological well-being. One study found that suicidal poets used more first-person singular pronouns (I, me, my) than the control group of poets.
This study from Taiwan, published in the Journal of Happiness Studies, investigated the psychological displacement paradigm in diary-writing (PDPD) and its supposed psychological benefits.
Study participants were randomly assigned to write about their recent negative life experiences two times a week for 2 weeks in PDPD group (diary-writing), or comparison group (no diary-writing).
The diary-writing group (PDPD) showed a decrease in negative emotion and an increase in positive emotion immediately after each writing session (short term effect).
They also had an increase in psychological well-being for at least 2 weeks (long term effect).

The Diet Factor in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder – State-of-the-Art Review Article in Pediatrics
Diets that were tried in attempt to reduce symptoms associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) include:
- sugar-restricted
- additive/preservative-free
- oligoantigenic/elimination
- fatty acid supplements
Omega?3 supplement is the latest dietary treatment with positive reports of efficacy. Interest in the additive-free diet of the 1970s is occasionally revived.
Provocative reports have drawn attention to the ADHD-associated “Western-style” diet, high in fat and refined sugars, and the ADHD-free “healthy” diet, containing fiber, folate, and omega-3 fatty acids.
Indications for dietary therapy include:
- medication failure
- parental or patient preference
- iron deficiency
- change from an ADHD-linked Western diet to an ADHD-free healthy diet, when appropriate
In practice, additive-free and oligoantigenic/elimination diets are time-consuming and disruptive to the household; they are indicated only in selected patients.
Iron and zinc are supplemented in patients with known deficiencies; they may also enhance the effectiveness of stimulant therapy.
In patients failing to respond or with parents opposed to medication, omega-3 supplements may warrant a trial.
