This week's CW drama block may have its share of cool guest stars like N.E.R.D. and Samantha Ronson, but, on the whole, it's a total mess. On the one hand, you've got the unstable girls of 90210 having emotional breakdowns at the drop of a hat; on the other, the Melrose Place residents are busy sneaking around to cover up their crimes.

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.

Risk factors
According to a report in the Archives of Dermatology, marathon runners are more likely than the general population to develop skin changes that increase the risk for melanoma.
Prevention
A study published in The Lancet indicates that the best ways to avoid sun damage are to reduce the time you spend in the sun and to wear a hat and clothing to protect as much of your skin as possible. Fabrics that are thick and tightly woven offer the best protection.
