West Virginia University issued the following news release:

A West Virginia University researcher has been honored for her exploration of customer satisfaction among African-American women.

Nora M. MacDonald, professor of fashion design and merchandising at WVU, Shirley A. Lazorchak, associate professor and program coordinator of marketing at California University of Pennsylvania, and Kristi M. Currie, currently pursuing a certificate in image consulting from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, were recognized by the Family & Consumer Sciences Research Journal for their article, "African-American Women’s Satisfaction with the Design and Marketing of Ready-to-Wear Clothing."

The article was selected as the top FCSRJ article in the apparel, textiles, and merchandising category and was a runner-up for the FCSRJ 2009 Outstanding Article Award. Articles were evaluated based upon the following criteria: originality of the topic, standards of research design and methodology, and potential to make a lasting contribution to theory and/or practice in family and consumer sciences.

MacDonald, Lazorchak,tiffany earrings, and Currie conducted a study to assess older African-American women’s perceptions of how well their clothing needs were being met. Thirty-two African-American women from the Charleston, W.

Va., area participated in the study, which indicated dissatisfaction with the portrayal of African-American females in targeted advertisements and the fit of clothing. The African-American market has increased dramatically as a percentage of the United States population, with purchasing power estimated at more than $800 billion.

The collaboration gave MacDonald the opportunity to catch up with two former students. Lazorchak (’79) and Currie (’00) both earned their undergraduate degrees in Fashion Design and Merchandising from WVU.

New investigation results, ‘Prevalence of acquired melanocytic naevi in Brazilian schoolchildren,’ are detailed in a study published in Clinical & Experimental Dermatology (see also <http://www.newsrx.com/library/topics/Dermatology.html> Dermatology). According to recent research from Pernambuco, Brazil, "The prevalence of acquired melanocytic naevi (AMN) is one of the most important known risk factors for malignant melanoma (MM) in homogeneous white populations. However, there are few studies on AMN in heterogeneous populations."

"Insight into the causes of AMN in heterogeneous populations in a country with intense ultraviolet radiation should lead to successful strategies in the prevention of MM. To evaluate the frequency and anatomical distribution of AMN and to observe the influence of environmental and constitutional variables. A cross-sectional study on the prevalence of AMN was performed on 1279 Brazilian schoolchildren, aged 2-8 years, according to an international protocol. Both girls and boys had the same number of AMN. The number of AMN was higher on sun-exposed body sites, such as shoulders, thorax/upper abdomen, face/ears and back. A high number of AMN was associated with lighter skin type,tiffany bracelets, greater sun exposure, age, number of sunburns and presence of freckles. In genetically predisposed people, the body-site distribution of AMN in a heterogeneous population (mixed ethnic backgrounds) is similar to that in a homogeneous population and has the same tendency toward potential proliferation of melanocytes in the presence of ultraviolet radiation. Strategies to reduce the incidence of MM should start at an early age. We believe that these findings will have a direct effect on concepts for preventive strategies," wrote S. Yarak and colleagues, Federal University, Department of Dermatology.

The researchers concluded: "Studies in different populations may serve as a starting point for research into the mechanism underlying increasing rates of AMN."

Yarak and colleagues published their study in Clinical & Experimental Dermatology (Prevalence of acquired melanocytic naevi in Brazilian schoolchildren. Clinical & Experimental Dermatology, 2010;35(6):581-7).

According to recent research from Beijing, People’s Republic of China, "Lingual dermoid cysts are squamous epithelial-lined cavities with variable numbers of skin adnexae in the capsule and are rare entities in the head and neck (see also <http://www.newsrx.com/library/topics/Cysts.html> Cysts). We discuss the presentation, possible aetiologies and the surgical management of these lesions and report on the ninth lingual dermoid cyst as an illustrative example, the first to be excised by laser."

"An extensive literature search was undertaken. We present the case of a 4-month-old di-zygotic twin girl with a firm midline anterior tongue dermoid cyst. Its extent was defined by magnetic resonance imaging. The cyst was excised using the CO2 laser via an extended median sagittal glossotomy approach. Lingual dermoid cysts most commonly present in early childhood or adolescence and are located in the anterior two thirds of the tongue. Eight lingual dermoid cysts have been reported, all of which were surgically excised, using varying techniques, and no recurrences have been reported. Our patient recovered well and was extubated immediately post-operatively. However, feeding was delayed for 48 h post-operatively due to pain,tiffany bangles, requiring opiate analgesia. The tongue healed completely with only a small indent in the tip. Treatment of these lesions consists of complete surgical excision. We propose that the midline sagittal glossotomy incision using the CO2 laser offers surgical precision, superior haemostasis and wound healing and minimal post-operative oedema," wrote H.X. Baoyin and colleagues, Tsinghua University.

The researchers concluded: "The involvement of the sensitive tongue tip in this approach may be its one drawback, however this may be compensated for with appropriate postoperative analgesia."

Baoyin and colleagues published their study in Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics (Capturing near earth objects. Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2010;10(6):587-598).

He’s obsessed with the ocean,tiffany bangles, and is now making waves.

"When you have lived in a coastal city (Chennai) and spent quality time in another (Mumbai), you cannot but fall in love with the ocean," Dharmalingam Udaya Kumar (31), who designed the symbol that is slated to put the Indian rupee in league with $, ‘[not], Pounds and Yen , told HT.

Winning the contest for designing the rupee symbol made him reschedule his trip to this city; he will now join IIT-Guwahati as an assistant professor in the department of design on Monday.

Udaya’s fascination with the seas is apparent from Waterworld, the model of a futuristic floating city he designed for the Arabian seacoast to ease Mumbai’s urban congestion.

The concept fuelled his architectural thesis — he is a bachelor of architecture from Anna University besides a master of design from Industrial Design Centre, IIT Bombay.

But this IITian is also fascinated by the literary ocean called Tamil.

"I was into art from an early age, and was particularly fond of the Tamil alphabets. Subsequently, I worked on Tamil manuscripts and typefaces,tiffany necklaces, and what I have done for my mother tongue is a drop in the ocean."

That drop was Parasakthi, a standard, simple and clean Tamil typeface with uniform stroke thickness that he designed.

The hunt for symbolism in Tamil letters led Udaya to Roman and Devanagari scripts. That helped him come up with the rupee symbol — with horizontal strokes representing the tricolour — to represent India’s growing economy and its currency.

Udaya hopes his stint at IIT-Guwahati will help him make a mark in designing jewellery and accessories from junk material,tiffany, a pet passion.

"Whether or not I succeed, I will always be known as the person behind the rupee symbol,tiffany money clips," he said.
