Glycolic Paradox
Paraben paradox is a phenomenon described by Fisher in 1973. A paraben-sensitive persons, who react to parabens on patch testing and develop a dermatitis when paraben-containing products are used on compromised skin, may continue to use paraben-containing products on other areas of the body that have intact uninvolved skin, without any adverse reactions.

Recently I observed a similar phenomenon with Glycolic Acid. This patient is taking Glycolic Peels for acne scars. She did not develop any reaction during the patch testing or the first session. However she developed this reaction on the neck after her second session after 2-3 days.

Zostavax
Category : Uncategorized
Merck recently gained approval for a vaccine called Zostavax for preventing herpes zoster reactivation in elderly people. This live virus vaccine is unusual in that it is to prevent reemergence, not to prevent initial infection. Can the same concept be used for recurrent herpes simplex infection which is much more disabling than herpes zoster in younger people?

Tomcat installation
Today I installed Tomcat 5.5 on my computer. Though it may be helpful to debug my servlets (if I write a new one) I actually installed it because of some other reason. I started the service from the program menu. But the loop back address with 8080 port was not working. I tried to figure out the problem. I tried to start the service through component manager and I found that the service was automatically shutting down after some time! Internet search was not helpful. However it started working after updating the JRE. So it was a version incompatibility. So if somebody else encounters the same problem try updating your JRE.
