| Landmark Survey Uncovers Reasons Why Women Are Not Able to Properly Address Their Skin Care Issues
The condition of a woman's skin has a serious impact on her self-esteem, according to results from a new landmark skin care survey announced today sponsored by Obagi Medical Products, Inc. (Nasdaq: OMPI - News), a leader in physician-dispensed topical aesthetic and therapeutic skin health systems. The survey, entitled "Women and Skincare: A Quest For Real Results," was developed to identify women's attitudes, behaviors and desires when it comes to skin health. Further, even though the majority of respondents feel a skin care professional is the best source for skin care information, they continue to seek solutions without the advice of a medical skincare professional. The majority of women (84%) have at least one issue with their skin. This peaks among women in their 40s, who report having four skin care issues.

Newest Implanted Heart-Assisting Device Tested by Newest Certified Heart Device Program
April 23, 2008 - Once upon a time, people whose hearts were failing had two choices: hope that their own heart kept pumping until they could receive a transplant, or face a certain death, which they might fend off for a while using medicines. But the last decade has brought incredible advances in technologies that help a failing heart keep pumping. New devices including one approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on April 21 are giving patients a better chance at receiving a transplant, or even helping them survive without getting a new heart. Now, the University of Michigan Cardiovascular Center has become only the third center in the country to be certified independently for its heart-device program. The certification recognizes the broad range of services and high quality of care for advanced heart failure patients at U-M, which offers adults and children access to nearly a dozen heart-assist devices and a full range of medical and surgical care.
