Generally, babies and toddlers have to get a list of vaccinations done at particular intervals and the government often provides a chart of the vaccination plan for every child. Vaccination is an important part of keeping human beings safe from a variety of ailments and diseases. Read all you need to know about Painless Vaccinations – Safety & Side Effects.
Many adults also take vaccinations against diseases that are prevalent in their area. Also, before visiting a foreign country; generally, it is advisable and compulsory to take vaccinations that are mentioned in the health advisory for that country. Vaccines have saved millions of lives and also helped many people lead better lives. For example, the polio vaccine has almost eradicated polio from many parts of the world.
It is important to understand which vaccines are most painful and have side effects. Vaccinations like DTwP which include vaccination against Diphtheria, Pertussis (Whooping Cough), and Tetanus are termed as painful vaccinations. This is called a painful vaccination because it causes a slight fever, and after taking this vaccination, children feel pain because of a possibility of an allergic reaction. This may cause persistent crying among children till the pain and allergic reaction subside. Because of this reaction to the vaccination, there is an alternative painless vaccination called DTaP which is sometimes chosen instead of DTwP vaccination. There is a lot of debate between DTaP vs DTwP as to which vaccine is better.
What Is DTaP?
The DTaP vaccination is given to children to protect them from three diseases. If people search painless vaccination wiki, there is a lot of information about them online on Wikipedia. This vaccination includes vaccine immunization against Diphtheria, Tetanus and Whooping Cough. Diphtheria is a respiratory disease that can cause breathing and respiratory problems, paralysis and also can be fatal. Tetanus is caused by bacteria and can attack the nervous system and if it is left untreated, can be fatal.
Similarly, whooping cough or Pertussis, can cause pneumonia, seizures and other medical problems and also can be fatal. Hence this vaccination is very important to protect children from these dangerous diseases. Hexaxim vaccination also includes DTaP along with other vaccinations for diseases. Generally, this vaccination is given in two stages – the primary immunization and then a booster immunization that can be given later. Some years ago painless vaccination were banned in India because of effectiveness issues but it was relaunched later and are now available in the country.
DTaP Vaccination – Painless Vaccination
Painless vaccination is a type of vaccination that does not cause swelling or pain at the site of the injection. This is preferred to DTwP vaccination by some because it has fewer post-vaccination side effects like fever, swelling, and pain as compared to DTwP which also vaccinates against Diphtheria, Pertussis, and Tetanus. Know more about Painless Vaccinations – Safety & Side Effects.
Advantages of Painless Vaccinations like DTaP
- The main advantage of DTaP painless vaccination is in the post-vaccination period. As mentioned above immediately after the vaccination takes place, this vaccination does not cause as much pain as compared to DTwP.
- There is no swelling on the site of the injection after the vaccination is given. The DTwP vaccination can cause swelling where the injection is administered. Painless vaccination is good for the baby if there is a higher risk of fever or swelling and other side effects due to other health factors.
- Another advantage is that sometimes the DTwP can cause slight fever post vaccination. The advantage of DTaP which is a painless vaccination, the chance of getting fever post vaccination is very less.
- If a child is prone to allergies and severe side effects of vaccinations, this painless vaccine is opted for instead of DTwP. Painless vaccination side effects are limited in comparison to DTaP. Painless vaccination at 6 weeks costs are much higher than DTwP.
Painless Vaccinations Side Effects
- The main question is – are painless dtp vaccine effective? The effectiveness of this vaccination is a major disadvantage of painless vaccinations. The simple fact is that DTaP is less effective than DTwP to vaccinate against the same diseases. DTaP has lesser immunity stimulating components as compared to DTwP
- For example, DTaP protects a child against Pertussis but that child can carry the disease and infect others as Pertussis enters the vaccinated child’s airways. This means that the child getting the vaccination is immune but can still carry the disease and infect other children. This means that DTwP is safer as it protects the vaccinated and people around them from Pertussis.
- Painful vaccines like DTwP vaccines last longer in the body as compared to DTaP. This means DTaP vaccines require more vaccine shots to maintain the level of immunity as compared to DTwP.
- The cost of painless vaccination for babies in India is high. The painless vaccines are much more expensive than painful vaccinations like DTwP. If there are more times that the vaccination has to be given and so DTaP overall become very effective.
Safety First – Pediatrician’s Advice
Generally, the family doctor or the pediatric doctor of the children give the parents all the information regarding when to take the vaccination and which vaccinations need to be taken. Painless vaccination like DTaP is a relatively new and asking all the details about the vaccination to the doctor is advisable. Painless injection for baby costs more than DTwP. The doctor knows the medical history, allergies, and other backgrounds plus medical information about a child. The doctor is likely to give safe medical advice to the parents in choosing between painful and painless vaccination.
There are many factors like painless vaccination charges in comparison to DTwP charges and also when to give which type of vaccination. For example, some pediatricians advise the parents to give DTaP as a booster immunization vaccine and not as a primary immunization vaccine. DTaP for 2nd booster vaccine is a choice that many opt for as doctors recommend it to the parents. Taking the right medical advice is essential as the doctor knows best as to which vaccine is a safer option for a child.
Pentaxim vaccination also includes the DTaP vaccine. Painless vaccine became very popular among many parents because of the limited post-vaccination side effects as compared to painful vaccines like DTwP. On the other hand, in the long run, painful vaccines like DTwP give more immunization for a longer period of time.
Vaccination is very important for children. The government gives a list of vaccinations that have to be done at various intervals and various ages for a child to be immune to a host of diseases that can attack a child anywhere on the planet. Without vaccination, children become very vulnerable to dangerous diseases and so governments all over the world carry out various campaigns to help with educating parents about vaccines. More people being aware of vaccines and all the information related to it make children safer. Over the years many diseases like polio, smallpox and other such disease are all but eradicated from society. There is constant research being done to make the vaccine safer and scientists are looking for better ways to reduce the side effects of these vaccines.

The following will guide you through the many ways of how to use hemp oil. We’ll take a look at what hemp is, what hemp oil is, dosage and uses. Hemp oil is incredibly versatile recreationally, and more importantly medically. Treating ailments, pain, and mental issues are some of the uses for hemp oil. There’s an almost endless amount of different ways to reap the benefits of hemp.
What is Hemp and Hemp Oil?
Hemp is a variety of cannabis that has been traditionally used for industrial purposes and recreational reasons. The legalization of marijuana has led to intense research and development in the medical field. And the findings have been nothing short of a miracle. Hundreds of medical illness both mental and physical, react positively to treatment.
Raw hemp is used in rope, paper, clothing and many other textiles. It has been used for almost 10,000 years. And now we have discovered the healing properties found in the oil. Hemp Oil is the pure CBD or THC extracted from the plant. Hemps bred in many different percentages, strengths and strains. A Sativa strain of hash oil is what you want to use for euphonic reasons. This will energize you and improve your mood. An Indica strain of hash oil is better for relaxation and pain management. This is a good place to start when choosing your hash oil.
How to Use Hemp Oil
You use Hemp oil alone or you add it to another substance depending on how you use the oil and what you need. Direct drops can be applied in the mouth. The results are fast as the CBD or THC absorb directly into the bloodstream and bypass the stomach. This brings instant relief to those who suffer physical pain. Patients include those with back pain, cancer, MS, twitching, epilepsy and many other chronic illnesses.
Other users prefer medical edibles for slow release and long lasting pain management. Hash Oil can be used in just about anything you can eat or drink. There are cookies, cakes and candies. They also use drinks like soda, beer and juices. The high usually takes time to slowly set in and can be more intense and last for hours depending on the dosage. These are fun recreationally as well. A standard 50 mg brownie will make for hours of relaxation and smiles.
Those with more serious ailments or chronic issues use capsules or gummies. These come in micro doses. The patient can enjoy low levels of THC or CBD throughout the day. This is a great use of hash oil for those with trauma. Users include those with depression and anxiety, sleep issues, anger, PTSD and more. It also regulates bodily pain.
How Should I Use Hash Oil?
The best way to use hash oil is to start slowly and find the right medicine for you. If you just want to get high try edibles. Start with 5 to 10 mg of a cookie and wait an hour. If you feel nothing try another 5 to 10 mg. Be careful. Edibles sneak up on you. The high can go away for 2 hours and come back just as strong.
If you’re sick you should find a regiment or daily dosage appropriate to your need. You should talk to someone. Go to a dispensary. They can help. They know which Hash Oils do what, and what the specific benefits are to each. Regardless of how you use hash oil or why you need it dosage is the key. Either way, you will find that Hash Oil will vastly improve your life. | health |

Orgasmic meditation is a mindfulness practice that is performed by two people (M/F, F/F). For 15 minutes (timer on!), one of the two people will stimulate the clitoris of the other person. With no other purpose than to pay attention to the body and genital sensations.
The OM protocol is always the same, which allows replicability. The OM begins by knowing exactly how the 11 steps work. In this way, the duo can let themselves go into the sensations (centre of vigilance off) and be in the present moment of the experience. The OM always ends with a sharing of a feeling felt during practice. Thus, it helps to put words on the perceived body sensations and to express them to your partner.
The OM allows an awareness of the body and genital sensations. Thus, it facilitates the learning of pleasure, a re-appropriation of one’s body and a better quality communication with one’s partner.
As a Orgasmic Meditation Coach, I love to work with couple. I find OM a great tool for bringing the relationship to the next level.
I also did a study on orgasmic meditation during my master’s degree. You can find it in French – Bataillon, C.B (2018). Méditation orgasmique : étude exploratoire auprès de couples hétérosexuels (Mémoire, Université de Louvain-La-Neuve).

With its vibrant hue and uniquely earthy flavor, turmeric has been a staple in Indian and Asian cuisine for centuries. But it’s not just a culinary treasure. This brilliant spice is also renowned for its wealth of health benefits. The benefits of turmeric are numerous….from reducing inflammation to boosting cognitive function, let’s delve into the science-backed benefits of turmeric and how you can incorporate it into your wellness routine.
A Star Ingredient: Curcumin
At the heart of turmeric’s health-promoting properties is curcumin, a natural compound that gives turmeric its trademark yellow color. Curcumin is a potent antioxidant with significant anti-inflammatory properties, central to many of the benefits of turmeric.
Curcumin’s antioxidant effect helps neutralize harmful free radicals in the body, which can cause cellular damage and contribute to aging and disease. Moreover, inflammation, while a necessary part of the body’s immune response, can become problematic when it becomes chronic. Chronic inflammation has been linked to numerous health issues, including heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease. By helping to combat both oxidative damage and inflammation, curcumin can play a role in preventing and managing these conditions.
The anti-inflammatory effects of curcumin are not just limited to chronic diseases. Curcumin can also help with everyday inflammation that can result from stress, poor diet, and lack of sleep. By helping to reduce this everyday inflammation, curcumin can help improve overall wellness and vitality.
Moreover, curcumin has been shown to possess anti-cancer properties. Some research suggests that it can inhibit the growth of cancer cells and reduce the spread of cancer in the body. While more research is needed, these early findings are promising for the potential role of turmeric in cancer prevention and treatment.
Curcumin’s benefits extend to mental health as well. Preliminary studies suggest it may have potential as a treatment for depression. By combating inflammation and oxidative stress—two factors that are believed to play a role in depression—curcumin may help to alleviate depressive symptoms.
Finally, curcumin can support healthy digestion. It stimulates the gallbladder to produce bile, which can help improve digestion and reduce symptoms of bloating and gas. Furthermore, its anti-inflammatory effects can be beneficial for those with inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis.
Incorporating Turmeric into Your Diet
One of the simplest ways to reap the benefits of turmeric is by incorporating it into your diet. Its warm, slightly peppery flavor can add depth to a wide range of dishes. Add a dash to your morning smoothie, sprinkle it on roasted vegetables, or use it to season chicken or fish.
You can also make soothing turmeric tea or golden milk, a traditional Indian drink made with milk, turmeric, and other spices. Here is an easy recipe for golden milk:
2 cups of milk (you can use dairy or plant-based milk like almond, coconut, or oat milk)
1 teaspoon of turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder
1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger (or a small piece of fresh ginger)
A pinch of black pepper (this helps with the absorption of curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric)
Honey or maple syrup to taste
Pour the milk into a saucepan and heat over medium heat until it’s warm but not boiling.
Add the turmeric, cinnamon, and ginger to the milk and stir well. If you’re using fresh ginger, grate it directly into the saucepan.
Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes. This will infuse the milk with the spices.
Add a pinch of black pepper and sweeten your golden milk with honey or maple syrup to taste.
Strain the tea into a cup or mug if you used fresh ginger.
Stir well and serve warm.
Enjoy your Golden Milk Tea! It’s a soothing, antioxidant-rich drink with anti-inflammatory properties.
Pairing Turmeric With Other Spices
Curcumin is not easily absorbed by the body on its own. Consuming it with black pepper can enhance its absorption, thanks to a compound in black pepper called piperine. That’s why you’ll often see these two spices paired together.
When it comes to incorporating turmeric into your cooking, the possibilities are almost endless. From savory dishes to sweet treats and drinks, there are countless ways to enjoy this powerful spice. Try adding turmeric to soups, stews, rice dishes, or even scrambled eggs for a healthful twist.
Turmeric pairs well with a variety of spices, enhancing the flavor profile of your dishes. Combine turmeric with ginger and cinnamon for a warming spice blend, or pair it with cumin and coriander for a taste of the Middle East. Experimenting with different flavor combinations can make adding turmeric to your diet a delightful culinary adventure.
Don’t forget about dessert! Turmeric can be a surprising yet delicious addition to sweet recipes. Add it to your next batch of banana bread or apple pie for a unique twist. You can also sprinkle it over your morning bowl of oatmeal along with a drizzle of honey.
Aside from adding it to food, another simple way to consume turmeric is through beverages. Turmeric lattes, also known as golden milk, have gained popularity in recent years for their comforting warmth and health benefits. Alternatively, you can add a small amount of turmeric to your regular tea or coffee. The taste is subtle, but the health benefits are significant.
The Power of Turmeric Supplements
While adding turmeric to your food is a healthy habit, the amount of curcumin in the spice is relatively low—around 3% by weight. For those looking to take advantage of curcumin’s health benefits in a more concentrated form, turmeric supplements may be an excellent option.
Turmeric supplements typically contain a much higher concentration of curcumin than you’d get from the spice alone. Some also include piperine or other ingredients to improve absorption. As with any supplement, it’s important to choose a high-quality product from a reputable source. Be sure to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have existing health conditions or are taking other medications.
When choosing a turmeric supplement, it’s crucial to read the label carefully. Look for products that specify the amount of curcumin, as this is the active ingredient. Supplements should contain at least 95% curcuminoids, which are the most potent compounds in turmeric.
It’s also essential to consider the supplement’s formulation. Some forms of curcumin are more bioavailable—that is, more easily absorbed and used by the body—than others. Look for supplements that contain curcumin in a form that’s been shown to be bioavailable, such as curcumin phytosome or curcumin with bioperine (black pepper extract).
While turmeric supplements can offer a more concentrated dose of curcumin, it’s important to remember that they should be part of a balanced diet. Supplements can’t replace a healthy diet and lifestyle, but they can complement these habits and provide additional benefits.
Lastly, always talk to your doctor before starting any supplement regimen. While turmeric and curcumin are generally considered safe, they can interact with certain medications, and high doses may cause digestive upset in some individuals.
Turmeric for Brain Health
Emerging research suggests that turmeric could play a role in supporting brain health. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of curcumin can help protect brain cells from damage. This may help slow cognitive decline associated with aging and reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.
Moreover, curcumin can cross the blood-brain barrier, meaning it can directly enter the brain and benefit the cells there. Some studies have found that curcumin can increase levels of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a type of growth hormone that functions in your brain and is critical for learning and memory. Deficiency of BDNF has been linked to several brain disorders, including depression and Alzheimer’s.
Turmeric for Heart Health
A healthy heart is the cornerstone of overall well-being, and turmeric may play a significant role in maintaining cardiovascular health. The potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of curcumin can help protect your heart from damage. By reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, which are key contributors to heart disease, turmeric may help reduce the risk of heart conditions.
Additionally, research suggests that curcumin can improve the function of the endothelium, the lining of the blood vessels. Endothelial dysfunction is a major cause of heart disease, as it hinders the endothelium’s ability to regulate blood pressure and clotting. By enhancing endothelial function, turmeric could further contribute to heart health.
Supporting Joint Health with Turmeric
As we age, joint health becomes increasingly important. The anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric make it a popular natural remedy for arthritic conditions. Research has shown that curcumin can alleviate symptoms of arthritis, such as inflammation and pain. In some studies, curcumin has even been found to be as effective as anti-inflammatory drugs for pain relief, without the side effects.
If you’re dealing with joint pain or stiffness, adding more turmeric to your diet or considering a turmeric supplement may be worthwhile. However, as with any treatment, it’s best to consult your healthcare provider to discuss the best approach for you.
Navigating Potential Risks of Turmeric
While the health benefits of turmeric and its active compound curcumin are numerous, it’s also important to be aware of potential risks and side effects. As with any supplement or dietary change, it’s essential to approach the use of turmeric with a balanced perspective and informed care.
For most people, consuming turmeric in food is completely safe. However, taking high doses of turmeric or curcumin supplements over a long period can sometimes lead to digestive upset, including stomach pain, nausea, and diarrhea. These side effects are more likely with high doses, so it’s recommended to start with a lower dose and gradually increase if necessary and comfortable.
Additionally, turmeric may slow blood clotting. This means that it could potentially increase the risk of bruising and bleeding in people with bleeding disorders. If you’re scheduled for surgery, it’s generally recommended to stop taking turmeric or curcumin supplements at least two weeks beforehand.
Turmeric might also interact with certain medications. For instance, because of its anti-platelet activity, it could potentially enhance the effects of blood-thinning drugs, leading to increased risk of bleeding. It may also interact with medications for diabetes, as both turmeric and these medications lower blood sugar, potentially causing hypoglycemia if used together.
For those with gallbladder disease, the use of turmeric could worsen the condition, as turmeric can cause the gallbladder to contract. If you have this condition, it’s best to consult with a healthcare provider before taking turmeric supplements.
As with any supplement or dietary change, it’s crucial to discuss the use of turmeric with your healthcare provider, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking other medications. This way, you can reap the many benefits of this golden spice while navigating potential risks safely and effectively.
Turmeric: A Golden Addition to Your Wellness Routine
From supporting brain and heart health to alleviating joint pain, turmeric is truly a golden addition to any wellness routine. While adding turmeric to your dishes can provide some benefits, supplements ensure a potent, concentrated dose of curcumin for maximum health benefits. As always, consult your healthcare provider when starting any new supplement regimen.
In an age where modern medicine seems to have an answer for everything, it’s comforting to know that simple, natural remedies like turmeric continue to hold their own. With its myriad of health benefits, this humble spice is proof that sometimes, the best solutions have been under our noses (or in our spice cabinets) all along. Here’s to the vibrant, powerful, and health-boosting wonders of turmeric!

This system of medicine stresses on the prevention of body ailments in addition to curing them. Today, its a unique, indispensable branch of medicine - a complete natural healing system that depends on the diagnosis of your body's humours - vata pitta and khapha - to achieve the right balance
Ayurveda believes in treatment of not just the affected part, but the individual as whole. Making it the natural way to refresh yourself, eliminate all toxic imbalances from the body and the thus regain resistance and good health.
Kerala's equable climate, natural abundance of forests ( with a wealth of herbs and medicinal plants) and the cool mansoon season are best suited for Ayurveda's curative and restorative packages.
There are four Vedas or treatises which form the basis of Indian Philosophy. They being the RIGVEDA, The YAJUR VEDA, The SAMA VEDA and The ADHARVA VEDA. Ayurveda has emerged out as the branch of Adharva Veda dates back over 5000 years. It is said to have been originated from Lord Brahma ( creator of universe according to Indian Philosophy), and has been descanted to the earth through various generations of GODS and SAINTS. This has been handed down to us by means of ancient venerable scripts as palm leaf books, leather leaves etc. The oldest works in Ayurveda now available are the CHARAKA SAMHITHA, SUSRUTHA SAMHITA and ASHTANGA SAMGRAHA.
Ayurveda is also known as ASHTANGA VEDA ( the word literally means " Eight branches of knowledge") as it is divided into eight specialized branches. They are as follows
According to Ayurveda every living and non living being in this universe is a combination of five basic eternal elements, called Pancha Maha Bhoothas. Human Body is also constituted by this five eternal elements in various compositions. Hence it can be conceived that every cell of body is possessed with all the properties of life. The only difference of Human Body from the external World is the expression of CHAITANYA or consciousness or life spark or spirit or soul. The five basic eternal elements are
(A). Earth (B). Water (C). Fire (D.) Air (E).Ether
These eternal elements manifest in the Human Body as three basic principles or subtle energies or humours (Thridosha in Sanskrit) The word Dosha literally means that which maintains and controls the body. They are Vatha, Pitha and Kapha. The Pancha Maha Bhoothas and the Thridoshas are not prevalent to the naked eye. But they should be conceived on comprehensive terms in which all physical structures and psychological functions of the body are included. the Air and Ether elements combined to form the Vatha Principle. The fire element constitutes Pitha principle. Earth and Water elements combine to form Kapha principle. These three basic principles govern all biological, physiological and physio - pathological functions of the body, mind and consciousness. They act as basic constituents and protective barriers for the body in its normal physiological conditions.

The combination is practically painless, counteracts skin aging and reduces wrinkles. Book radio frequency microneedling in Hamburg now – at urban spa, of course!
What is radio frequency microneedling cosmetics?
The so-called radio frequency microneedling treatment combines the advantages of the two established and popular anti-aging methods microneedling and radio frequency . The mechanical effects of one method and the heat effects of the other method are potentiated and ensure a visibly improved, smoother complexion. Due to the mechanical and thermal division in the treatment process, one also speaks of fractionated radio frequency microneedling.
Radio frequency microneedling advantages at a glance:
- The self-healing process of the skin is activated
- Elastin and collagen production is stimulated
- The production of hyaluronic acid is stimulated
- Wrinkles are smoothed out
- Scars are reduced
- The skin appears fresher and rosier
How does radio frequency microneedling work?
During the treatment - just like with classic microneedling - the finest needles penetrate the skin's surface. The skin renewal is stimulated by the small stitches and tiny injuries . What is new about this treatment is that the needle tips also deliver radio frequency waves in pulses into the deeper layers of the skin. The heat impulses set regeneration and repair mechanisms in motion and also stimulate the production of collagen. Existing collagen fibers are contracted by the radio wave impulse, resulting in an immediate tightening of the skin . The radio waves used have the advantage that they reach the deeper layers of the skin directly without heating the top layer of skin. The heat is released in a targeted manner in the targeted, deeper region of the skin. | health |

As we celebrate World Food Day, it is the perfect time to explore and celebrate this unique lifestyle that not only nourishes the body but also enriches the soul. The Mediterranean diet and social traditions are a testament to the profound connection between food, culture, and community, emphasizing the importance of sustainable nutrition for a better world.
At the heart of the Mediterranean way of life is its iconic diet, widely recognized as one of the healthiest in the world. This diet is primarily plant-based, emphasizing a rich variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts. Olive oil, a cornerstone of Mediterranean cuisine, provides healthy fats and antioxidants while also imparting a distinctive flavour to dishes. Lean proteins like fish and poultry are preferred over red meat, and dairy consumption is moderate.
This type of diet offers numerous health benefits:
It is associated with lower rates of heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes.
The abundance of fibre, vitamins, and antioxidants contributes to overall well-being and longevity.
The emphasis on seasonal and locally sourced foods promotes sustainable consumer choices.
World Food Day calls upon us to address global food security and sustainability issues. Embracing the Mediterranean diet’s principle of seasonal and local eating can significantly contribute to these goals. By reducing food miles and supporting local agriculture, we can lessen our ecological footprint and help promote a more sustainable food system worldwide.
Beyond its diet, the Mediterranean way of life places a strong emphasis on social connections and communal dining. In Mediterranean cultures, meals are not just about sustenance; they are a time for family and friends to come together, share stories, and strengthen bonds. This communal approach to food also aligns with the spirit of World Food Day, which calls for unity in the fight against hunger and poverty. Gathering around a table to share food fosters a sense of togetherness and solidarity.
In conclusion, the Mediterranean way of life serves as a powerful example of how food can be a force for good in the world. As we commemorate World Food Day, let us celebrate this way of life and use it as a catalyst for positive change in our own lives and across the globe. By doing so, we can take meaningful steps towards a healthier, more sustainable, and more connected world for all.
The DELICIOUS project is formed by a multicultural and multidisciplinary consortium with 10 partners from 5 Mediterranean countries. The objective is to promote the Mediterranean diet across Med countries, and this wouldn’t be possible without the support and funding of the PRIMA programme and the Horizon 2020 Programme of the European Commission. | health |

|On June 6, 2009, President Barack Obama outlined the objectives of healthcare reform for our nation. In his address, he stated that
“any health care reform must be built around fundamental reforms that lower costs, improve quality and coverage, and also protect consumer choice. That means if you like the plan you have, you can keep it. If you like the doctor you have, you can keep your doctor, too. The only change you’ll see are falling costs as our reforms take hold.”
Now that we have read the resulting legislation known as Obamacare and have struggled to effectively implement the resulting healthcare system, it is clear that our nation has fallen short of these objectives. The good news is that we truly can achieve these objectives. In order to do so, Sen. Colbeck believes that we need to look at where these objectives have actually been achieved in the healthcare industry – most notably laser eye surgery and plastic surgery. What do these services have in common? The free market
Sen. Colbeck has been an outspoken advocate for free market healthcare solutions based upon principles such as competition, transparency, and customer service. The Senator’s goal is to make Michigan the center of a free-market healthcare revolution featuring higher quality with lower prices. Once fully implemented, Michigan would become a destination state for employers seeking high quality healthcare for their employees at an affordable price. Such a move will increase jobs and lead to a better quality of life for all Michiganders. | health |

First of all let us look at what bingo wings are. Lots of people assume they're stuck with arm fat for life or they are inevitable process of aging . Fortunately this is not accurate arm fat can be reduced or eliminated by following certain exercises and nutrition. Women are more prone to bingo wings than men because of low t levels - although men with t may suffer from precisely the problem .
It was no longer than a month ago that Dana visited with her primary doctor. Concerned over her patient weight gain, the doctor referred Dana to a nearby testosterone clinic. Dana got a hold of a life hormone prescription, The moment she got saw one of the testosterone physicians in Southern California. Within just a few days, authentic testosterone injections showed up on her doorstep. She was able to accelerate her metabolism for fast weight loss results. The weight came right off of her belly and thighs. Like she did before with different fad diets she didn't even need to starve herself. Needless to say, an testosterone program was fantastic for Dana's body.
This doesn't necessarily indicate a nutritionist or anything of that nature, when talking about a weight loss physician. Any doctor should be well versed in what it takes get into shape and to enhance your fitness level. If your physician that is general doesn't seem to know much about it could a sign that it's time to try to find a my company new physician. Speak with them. Tell them that you want to shed weight, but explanation are not sure how to go about it.

I promised I wouldn’t write every column on HPV (human papillomavirus) or anuses, and I won’t, but bear with me (pun intended) for one or two columns in honor of the upcoming inaugural International Anal Neoplasia Society Conference here in San Francisco beginning Friday November 22nd. I will report on highlights of the conference next month. The connection between the two topics is that HPV is associated with most anal cancers and precancer lesions as well as anal warts.
The most common question I am asked by patients no matter their age, gender or sexual proclivities, is: “Can I pass this to my partner(s)?” The most common question I am asked by other providers is: “Who should get the HPV vaccine?”
There are over 100 HPV types. About 30 effect the genitalia, anus and mouth. They cause warts and cancers of all these areas. Sadly, Farah Fawcett Major died of anal cancer, and Michael Douglas is the poster boy for oral HPV-related cancers. It has been understood for decades that HPV is a necessary cause of all cervical cancers. In the cervix, vagina, vulva and anus we have clear recognized pre-cancerous changes and that is what the Pap smear (cytology) screens for. When a test indicates that there may be a lesion, the individual is referred for higher level testing, which could include a colposcopy exam and/or high resolution anoscopy.
But what about exposure to HPV in the first place? If the HPV weren’t there, none of this would be going on, right? Well, therein lies the problem. Everyone gets HPV. There have been virgin and nun studies done that show HPV exposure. Women who have only had sex with women can be HPV positive. Studies have shown that most gay men (or any MSM) are HPV positive, and with multiple types, especially among HIV-positive men. The only persons unaffected by HPV are those who have never had any sexual contact. No hands, no tongues, no penises, no vaginas touching any or all of these parts.
I like to think of HPV as a pyramid. The bottom of that pyramid is exposure to the virus – and it is universal. As you go up the pyramid, there are the low-grade changes and these includes warts. A nuisance, and no one wants them, but benign. The official medical term for these are low grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL). Then there are the high-grade lesions (HSIL), which are thought of as pre-cancerous. Since it’s a pyramid, most of these won’t become cancers, but we can’t tell which ones will and won’t progress to cancer, therefore our approach has been to treat them all by removing them. We now know that in women, most of the cervical changes will go away by the time a woman is 30. It is the HPV and lesions that persist beyond age 30 that we have to worry about to prevent a cervical cancer from developing. However, we don’t have similar studies for the anal canal, and research on the oral cavity is in its infancy.
So what do I tell my patients? First, that everyone has HPV and that unless they are sleeping with 16-year-old virgins they don’t need to worry about transmitting HPV to their partners. Everyone can give or get HPV from anyone – straight, gay, anywhere in the LGBTQI spectrum. The exposure to HPV is not the problem, because in a healthy sexually active person there will be exposure to HPV. Once exposed, it’s between the individual and their immune system what happens to that HPV.
While you can give someone HPV, you cannot give someone a high-grade lesion or cancer. I also tell my patients that about 50% of HIV-positive individuals will have a high-grade anal lesion. We also find such lesions in about 25% of HIV-negative GBTQI anuses (lesbians, we get a pass here). The cancers are still rare, about 150 per 100,000 (compared to breast cancer that is more like 11,000 per 100,000), but this is still much higher than cervical cancer ever was. Therefore, if you have an anus that receives or received receptive intercourse and especially if you are HIV-positive, please ask your provider about getting screened with a Pap (cytology) smear. If the test result is not normal – then you should be referred for a high resolution anoscopy exam.
There are two HPV vaccines now that over time should change the natural history of what I just explained – meaning less of all these problems in the next generation of LGBTQI folks. Gardasil contains the 4 HPV types that cause most warts (6,11) and cancers (16, 18). It has been approved for both men and women up to age 27. Cervarix protects against the two cancer HPV types (16,18) and is approved only for women up to age 25. The vaccine is most effective before someone is sexually active. There is some evidence that it may be helpful in people who are already sexually active (thus the approval in men and women up to age 27), and many believe it will help the immune system prevent the development or recurrence of lesions even in people who have clearly been exposed to HPV. These studies are underway. My advice: I don’t routinely recommend vaccination in anyone over age 26, although it is probably safe. I just don’t think we know if it will help, and in anyone over the age of 26, the cost will not be covered by insurance.
I hope to have updates on this and will have more to report next month concerning both the IANS conference November 22-24, and the AIDS Malignancy Conference on November 21st at UCSF.

A Tummy Tuck is appropriate for men and women who are in good health and have any combination of loose abdominal skin, excess abdominal fat, or lax abdominal musculature.
A patient may be a candidate if she has any of the following:
- Excess or loose, hanging abdominal skin, either from weight loss or pregnancy.
- An abdomen that protrudes unnaturally and out of proportion to the rest of the body.
- An abdominal muscle compartment that has been weakened by pregnancy or aging.
- Excess fat that is concentrated beneath the abdominal skin.
Tummy Tuck Surgery & Recovery
The tummy tuck surgery is performed through a horizontal incision made toward the hipbone. Dr. Delgado uses an anesthetic technique that decreases your risk of nausea, and enables you to recover faster and go home the same day. You will have to wear a girdle for 6 weeks after surgery, and will have a small drain that collects in a plastic reservoir for 4-7 days. Expect discomfort for the first 3 days. At one week, most patients feel quite well. We recommend 2 weeks off of work, as you need to feel comfortable. The only restrictions at 2 weeks are no heavy lifting or straining. By 6 weeks, you can do abdominal crunches.
You will have several post-op visits the first week, as this is the crucial healing time, and quite a few more throughout the year. Staying bent at the waist during the first week is important to healing a fine line scar. The results are dramatic and long lasting. Most patients find that a flatter and firmer abdomen boosts his/her confidence and makes them feel more confident in clothing. Unless a significant amount of weight is gained or lost, a patient can expect to retain his or her new shape for many years. Contact Dr. Delgado to schedule your consultation today!
Frequently Asked Questions
About Tummy Tuck Surgery
1. How is a tummy tuck performed?
During an abdominoplasty, Dr. Delgado makes a horizontal incision across along the lower abdomen, staying inside within the underwear coverage area line. The underlying muscle is tightened like a corset. Excess skin is pulled down and meticulously trimmed and the incision line is sewn closed. The belly button (navel) does not change from its original location in the abdomen, but it is pulled through a tiny incision made in the newly tightened abdominal skin. Tiny sutures reaffix it to the skin surface, resulting in a flat reset as an “innie” style belly button (navel).
2. What can I expect during my initial consultation?
Dr. Delgado sees patients for consultations in both his offices, with one being located in San Francisco and the other being located north of the Golden Gate Bridge, in the city of Novato, in Marin County. He sees patients in both locations for consultations. In your initial consultation, Dr. Delgado will inquire about your concerns and goals, both short-term and long-term. Dr. Delgado, in addition, will confirm that you are certain you will not become pregnant in the future. This is because the procedure is intended only for patients who have completed childbearing or have no intentions or ability to become pregnant in the future. Dr. Delgado will perform a physical examination to assess the degree of your skin laxity, determine any slackness in the belly button and your abdominal wall and evaluate the appearance of the belly button (navel). He will show you an outline of where the incisions will be located and how long they would be. Dr. Delgado will have the opportunity to review before and after photographs of patients that he has performed surgery on so that you have an impression of his artistic work and talent. You will be presented with a DVD that shows patient testimonials as well as a DVD of a patient’s total experience. An exact price quote for your procedure will be prepared and given to you the day of your consultation for review.
3. Is there anything I need to do to prepare for surgery?
The most important preparation you need to make is to prepare your family (or friend caregiver) and your home for your recovery. Make it as comfortable and uneventful as possible. Initially, your family/caregiver will be required to help you initially get in and out of bed and to and from the bathroom. You will need them to prepare food for you and assist you with your medications. If it is your habit to smoke, you need to discontinue this entirely. This needs to be stopped at least four weeks prior to surgery as smoking significantly impedes normal healing and can compromise your final results. Dr. Delgado and his staff will explain all the elements for the blood clot prevention program, which is a pro-active educational process designed to help prevent the serious complications of blood clots and thromboembolism. Prior to surgery, it is important to avoid all blood-thinning products that inhibit the blood’s ability to clot. These products include all non-steroid anti-inflammatory medications (e.g. Advil, aspirin, Motrin, Aleve, ibuprofen) and medications containing aspirin. Fish oil and certain herbal supplements need to be avoided for the same reason. Dr. Delgado will be providing a 20-page information booklet with these and other details to help you prepare for surgery.
4. How long does the procedure take?
It takes approximately four to five hours. Often times, liposuction is done at the same time, which takes an additional hour or so. It also depends on if there is a waist-enhancement procedure performed, which takes more time as well. The length of time also depends if there are additional procedures, such as breast surgery; much like a Mommy Makeover. Dr. Delgado will be able to give you a fairly accurate time for your surgical procedure.
5. What type of anesthesia is administered?
Abdominoplasty surgery requires general anesthesia. An LMA (or laryngeal mask airway) is a new, state-of-the-art technique that allows the patient to breathe unassisted during the procedure. Short acting anesthesia medications are given to maintain an adequate, but light level of general anesthesia. This allows the patient to awaken very quickly at the end of the procedure. However, with a Tummy Tuck procedure, it is required that a short period of paralysis is performed, so that the abdominal muscles can be adequately tightened. This, again, is a short-acting paralysis, which quickly wears off before the procedure is concluded. Unless the muscles are in a relaxed state, this cannot be adequately accomplished. The anesthesiologist manages the patient’s breathing during this short phase. For most of the procedure, however, the patient breathes on their own.
6. Will I be able to return home the same day?
Most patients are able to return home the day of surgery. Significant advances have been made regarding the early postop recovery with the addition of the long acting Exparel directly into the surgical site for three to four days following surgery. This greatly reduces the amount of discomfort during the early postoperative period. However, if other procedures are added, an overnight stay may be required for safety and pain management.
7. When can I return to work?
You will be able to return to work and most other activities within two to three weeks following your procedure. However, intense exercise and other strenuous activities should be avoided for at least six weeks to avoid unnecessary swelling and excessive stress on freshly healed structures. Driving generally can be resumed usually within reach in seven to ten days.
8. How significant are my scars following my procedure?
All surgical procedures leave incisional scars. Dr. Delgado understands that you want these scars located in the most inconspicuous areas, so that regular clothing will conceal them. The scar is located low on the abdomen, just above the pubic hairline on most patients. The scar traverses from hipbone to hipbone. The exact length of the scar will depend on how much extra skin is to be removed. The scars can be easily hidden with clothing and will significantly blend into your skin tone over the subsequent year. Women tend to wear a large variety of clothing styles and they can opt to have a lower or higher incision.
9. Will I be able to have children after an abdominoplasty?
We recommend that the childbearing years be completed. The internal tightening of the muscles could adversely affect a future pregnancy and, therefore, pregnancy is highly discouraged following a Tummy Tuck. We do not recommend it.
10. How can I tell if I am a good candidate
Many women, after childbearing years, require a Tummy Tuck to reclaim their pre-pregnancy bodies. The results of pregnancy can cause irreversible stretching, increased laxity of the skin, increased muscle laxity around the mid torso region and unwelcome increased fat deposits. A patient may best benefit from a Mommy Makeover, which, in addition to an Abdominoplasty, includes breast surgery and liposuction. This has become a very popular surgery combination. Other patients who are good candidates are patients who lose a large amount of weight, resulting in excess skin, which responds extremely well with a Tummy Tuck procedure.
11. What is the cost of tummy tuck surgery?
The cost of tummy tuck surgery is about $12,000. That includes Dr. Delgado’s professional fee, Esperal for pain control, Marin Cosmetic Surgery Center fee, the anesthesiologist’s fee and all follow up care. It may be more if additional procedures are added such as; waist enhancement and additional liposuction. At the time of your consultation you will be given a detailed estimate of all your surgery fees.

The required visit to the hospital or clinic, and then the required “downtime”, don’t necessarily inspire feelings of fun and relaxation– but it doesn’t have to be this way. Instead of spending your convalescence cooped up in your house, imagine yourself somewhere else. Imagine yourself in a hammock gently swaying in the breeze, sipping on a delicious tropical juice or perhaps some ice cold coconut water. Sound appealing? If you’re planning on undergoing a medical procedure– be it cataract surgery or body contouring– then consider having it done in Panama.
Health tourism, also called medical tourism, is a form of travel where people visit another country in order to get medical, dental, or surgical care while at the same time having a vacation. In the past few years, Panama has emerged as a leading destination for health tourism, and for good reason. There is a wide selection of U.S. trained, English-speaking doctors at your disposal, and the country’s hospitals and medical facilities rival those in the United States. Hospital Punta Pacifica, for example, is affiliated with Johns Hopkins Medicine, boasts ultra-modern facilities, the latest technology, and superb attention to patients– it has a 1 to 2 nurse to patient ratio in the general procedure ward, and a 1.5 to 1 ratio in the ICU.
One of the biggest advantages to having medical procedures done in Panama is the low cost. You will save anywhere between 40% and 80% of what you would normally pay in a U.S. hospital. For example, a pacemaker surgery can cost $40,000 in the states, but only $8,500 in Panama, representing a saving of almost 80%! If you also consider the convenience of having the U.S. dollar as the official currency in Panama, as well as the country’s reputation for being a safe and modern place, traveling to Panama for medical attention is an obvious choice.
With the warm, tropical climate and so many things to see and do, Panama offers you the opportunity to have fun and improve your health. The best time to visit is between December and April, which is when Panamanians celebrate summer by going to the beaches, rivers and mountains, and by hosting Carnaval and other regional festivals and fairs. Visitors can fly to Panama very easily, since it is only 2 and 1/2 hours from Miami, and there are daily flights to Panama City from Miami, Houston, Los Angeles, and New York, among others. Why not fly in, do some sightseeing– in addition to beaches and islands, there are many opportunities to do ecotourism, such as birdwatching and wildlife observation– and then head to one of the country’s world-class hospitals for a knee replacement? Afterwards, you can rest and relax in style at one of Panama’s many hotels and resorts, arriving home a rejuvenated, healthier person. You don’t even have to worry about overstaying your visa, since the tourist visa U.S. citizens are granted upon arrival at the airport is valid for 90 days, and you can easily get an extension afterwards.
Popular treatments in Panama are both health-related and cosmetic. Frequent dental services include teeth whitening, veneers and dental implants. In the area of opthalmology, some of the most popular procedures are Lasik, cataract surgery, glaucoma surgery, and vitreo retinal surgery. Other treatments that draw flocks of visitors to Panama include cardiology, stem cell therapy, fertility treatments, bariatric and obesity surgeries, orthopedics (including hip and knee replacements), cancer treatment and oncology. And, of course, there is a wide range of cutting-edge cosmetic procedures including face, breast, and body contouring. The top hospitals for medical tourism are Hospital Punta Pacifica, Hospital Nacional, Clinica Hospital San Fernando, and Centro Medico Paitilla. All of these have highly-qualified doctors and staff, and boast state of the art facilities.
Whether you live in Panama or are just visiting, the country’s advanced medical tourism infrastructure offers something for everyone. Why not combine your health care needs with a much deserved vacation? | health |

And this is where the BIOEFFECT EGF Eye Mask Treatment comes in.
BIOEFFECT EGF Eye Mask Treatment is a handy kit which includes a bottle of our EGF Eye Serum and six pairs of hydrogel eye masks.
What does it do?
Use the eye masks first for the ultimate intensive hydration boost, then smooth on a small amount of the eye serum for targeted anti-ageing.
Together, the mask and serum work to:
• Rebalance moisture levels
• Reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles
• Reduce the look of undereye puffiness
• Leave skin firm and radiant
The EGF Eye Mask Treatment is oil-free, paraben-free, and fragrance-free, making it suitable for all skin types!
What is EGF?
EGF stands for epidermal growth factor. EGF is a cellular activator, which means it encourages greater activity in the cells.
In this instance, EGF recognises and binds to a specific receptor on the outer surface of the skin cells. The receptor sends a message to the nuclei of the cells (the control centres, so to speak) and this leads to the increased production of collagen and elastin, two important structural proteins found in the skin.
The BIOEFFECT EGF Eye Mask Treatment is currently being sold exclusively at Harrods, retailing at £75.
Each kit contains:
• 3ml EGF Eye Serum
• 6 hydrogel eye masks
It can be difficult to strike a balance between fighting ageing around the eye area while still caring for the delicate skin. But, here at BIOEFFECT, we like to think that we’ve created the perfect compromise. | health |

We are bound to our homes, yet in addition doing more family tasks than we used to. From washing utensils to cleaning our homes, our hands are being presented to various sorts of aggravations every day of the week. What's more, the two specialists and the public authority, have underscored that normal hand washing and utilizing liquor based hand sanitizers are principal to forestall the spread of infection.
Really focusing on our hands, a flexible device that it is, is vital during circumstances such as the present. Grumblings like dryness, breaks, scaling and excruciating gaps on the hands because of rehashed hand washing and openness to cleansers/cleansers have been on the ascent. Patients with prior issues like atopic dermatitis, hand sensitivities and psoriasis are finding it harder to deal with their skin wellbeing.
For what reason in all actuality does hand washing dry our skin?
The upper most layer of the skin, called the layer corneum has a "blocks and concrete" game plan. The blocks, comprised of a protein rich material are stuck by the mortar, made out of lipids. This course of action shapes the "skin obstruction", keeping water misfortune from inside the skin. It likewise restricts allergens and aggravations from entering the skin.
At the point when cleanser cooperates with the skin, it breaks down the soil and the infection, yet in addition can disturb the lipid layer of the skin. This debilitates the skin boundary causing the skin to lose its non-abrasiveness and permits allergens to handily enter the skin.
The following are 10 stages that you can follow to guarantee that your hands are all around safeguarded during this difficult stretch.
1. Hand washing
There is no getting away from hand washing with cleanser and water. Utilize a syndet based bar or a cleanser free chemical that is liberated from brutal surfactants. Pick one that doesn't have any
additional antibacterial specialists, aromas and varieties as these can bother the skin further. Antibacterials in cleanser like triclosan play no part in safeguarding the skin against infections and can dry the skin further. Try not to wash hands with added substances like chloroxylenol (Dettol). They are incredibly brutal on the skin. Utilize cold water or tepid water. Try not to utilize boiling water to wash hands as intensity can additionally take away oils from the skin.
Apply a liberal measure of a thick lotion in no less than 3 minutes of wiping your distant. This '3-minute' rule will assist with securing in the dampness. A cream fills the holes between the skin cells, forestalls dampness misfortune and furthermore draws dampness from the encompassing environment and holds it inside the skin. Hence, it fixes the boundary that can get separated by rehashed cleanser openness and makes the skin smooth and delicate. A lotion can be pretty much as straightforward as petrol jam. However, for a cosmetically seriously engaging one, search for fixings like white delicate paraffin, squalene, dimethicone, vegetable oils like coconut oil, olive oil, jojoba oil, shea spread, cocoa margarine and pyrrolidone carboxylic corrosive.
3. Try not to clean your hands with a loofah or pumice stone to eliminate toughness. This can develop gaps and present disease. This can hurt the skin boundary further and demolish dryness.
4. Keep a container of cream close to each sink in your home, similar to your kitchen, feasting region, washroom and furthermore on your bedside table. Regularly practice it to apply a similar each time you clean up. This is particularly significant for patients with previous hand dermatitis. At sleep time, use cotton gloves subsequent to saturating your hands to seal it in.
5. Limit wet work like washing utensils/garments to under 15 minutes at a stretch. Studies have shown that openness to water to beyond what 15 minutes can make critical harm the skin hindrance. Washing with running water is viewed as less hindering than drenching hands in a sink loaded up with lathery water.
6. Eliminate rings prior to washing vessels or garments. Cleansers can remain in the hole and keep on bothering the skin even after the wet work is finished.
7. Use cotton gloves under nitrile gloves while accomplishing wet work of any sort. Utilizing vinyl or nitrile gloves alone has displayed to expand the dampness misfortune from inside the skin. A cotton liner assists with forestalling this. Plastic and elastic gloves are related with sensitivities and consequently staying away from them is better.
8. Wear gloves while cutting citrus natural products, papaya, pineapple, ginger, garlic and onions. The juices from these food things can cause extreme stinging and consuming assuming that your hands are dry or broken. They additionally demolish dermatitis. Ensure that the gloves fit your hands well and don't permit the juices to leak inside.
9. Keep away from contact with finishes (wood/brassware), stain, hair colors, turpentine, and so on. While there is a lot of extra energy to enjoy side interests during this lockdown period, synthetic compounds can demolish hand dryness and incite sensitivities.
10. Counsel your dermatologist assuming you notice difficult/draining crevices, thick fixes and dryness that doesn't subside with the above measures. Don't self-cure with steroid creams or non-prescription meds.

Free Movement of Welfare? Legal developments in the field of
Free movement of services is a fundamental principle of EC Law. Healthcare is among those services which are granted free movement. In Sweden, healthcare has been regarded as a duty for the national health provider to supply for patients. In EC Law, health care is considered to be a right for individuals.
This report analyzes EC Law as it stands today and concludes that the law is relatively clear. A patient that is in the need of health care which is provided for outside hospital infrastructure (extramural care) has a free choice. The patient can either receive the health care by the national health system or he or she can travel abroad, subject to important qualifications addressed in the report. A patient does however not have an unqualified free choice to travel abroad to receive intramural care. The report also addresses the issue of abortion and the question of healthcare as a marketplace in the context of a “European social model”.
The report is a part of the research project The EU's Internal Market: Effects on Central Areas. | health |

INSTRUCTIONS FOR DERM (BREATHABLE BANDAGE WRAP)
If the seal becomes broken and starts to leak and the tattoo is exposed, the derm must be removed. If it starts to leak and the tattoo is NOT exposed, clean the area with isopropyl alcohol and patch the area with the more derm. If your artist does not provide you with extra pieces, you can purchase Tagaderm from CVS or Walgreens.
Removing the derm
If you can, keep the bandage on for at least 5 days, or for the duration your artist recommends. To remove the bandage it is best to take it off in a nice steamy shower. First wash your hands with antibacterial soap then wash the entire area of the tattoo with antibacterial soap. Use coconut oil and spread it on the derm and start to peel the bandage back and let the coconut oil seep underneath. Slowly peel the derm off, try not to pull too hard, it should come off relatively easily and the coconut oil should take off any adhesive residue. Pat dry with a paper towel and let air dry for about 20 minutes. Then apply a small amount of unscented lotion or vitamin E oil to the tattoo. A very little goes a long way, you do not want to over moisturize.
Caring for Your New Tattoo After Removing derm
Once the final bandage has been removed, it will take approximately 1 week to peel. During this time period wash the tattoo with antibacterial soap and moisturize with an unscented lotion or vitamin E oil 1-2 times daily. The tattoo may appear to be fully healed on the surface once your derm bandage comes off. However, deeper layers of skin will still be repairing for 2-4 months. We recommend a good moisturizing regimen for this entire period. Also, drink plenty of water, your body takes hydration from your skin first, so help the healing process by staying hydrated.
Wearing derm While Showering, Swimming, and Exercising
Showering while wearing derm is fine, but it’s best to keep the time spent in the shower to a minimum. Water may weaken the adhesive of the bandage, which allows for unwanted contaminants to enter the bandage, putting you at higher risk for infection. It’s also important to keep an eye on the temperature of the water. Too much heat can separate the bandage from the skin, inflame the skin, and irritate the tattoo.
For these reasons, DO NOT bathe, swim, or fully submerge a tattoo dressed in derm. DO NOT exercise, you need to avoid activity that causes excessive sweating. Just as water will weaken the adhesion of the bandage, so will sweat and any other significant amount of fluid. Try to keep the bandage as clean and dry as possible until it’s time to remove it.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your artist or the studio directly at 978-594-1488 or email [email protected]
Healing your tattoo without Derm - 2 methods
METHOD 1 THE “WET” METHOD
This is a less conventional method but tends to work well for larger tattoos, as well as for tattoos in awkward areas that will be covered with clothing, since clothing can cause irritation. If you found that your tattoos have healed poorly in the past, this method may be an effective alternative.
After you leave the studio you will have been cleaned and bandaged; remove the bandage after 3-4 hours and clean the skin with mild soap and warm water. After washing, gently pat it dry with a clean cloth or paper towel, then allow it to air-dry for 15 minutes. When the tattoo is dry to the touch, cover it completely with a new piece of plastic wrap, using small pieces of tape as needed to hold it in place. Do NOT use any healing ointment or moisturizer.
With this method, the tattoo is kept completely covered with plastic wrap 24 hours a day, usually for 48-72 hours. It is important to wash the tattoo every 4-6 hours or after any period of sweating, letting it completely air-dry afterwards, and applying a new piece of plastic wrap each time. It’s also important not to over-wrap the area, unnecessarily covering untattooed skin, which can trap excess moisture.
At this point, the tattoo has done a major portion of the healing process without yet forming a scab. The plastic should then be removed and the skin should be allowed to completely dry out and start the next phase. When the peeling begins after the initial 2-3 days, the tattooed skin will flake like a sunburn. At all costs, avoid picking at the cracked and flaking skin. The area may become dry and itchy and a good quality, fragrance-free lotion 0r vitamin e oil can now be used until the skin returns to its normal texture.
Continue the moisturizing process AS NEEDED; there is no set limit and, depending on what you use, time will vary. I usually recommend moisturizing 2-3 times a day (again, AS NEEDED) so pay attention to your skin and if it dries out, simply re-apply. After a few days, and when the peeling has finished, your initial heal is complete. Moisturizing your skin is not a bad habit so you are welcome to continue as you see fit.
Moisture can be very detrimental to the healing process. Too much plastic wrap on the surrounding untattooed skin—or not changing the wrap often enough—can lead to development of a moisture rash. This will appear as bright red irritation with tiny pimples around the affected area, and will likely feel painful and itchy. If this happens, do not re-wrap the tattoo or try to medicate it. Instead, let it dry completely and peel on its own. Apply lotion to the area once irritation has diminished.
METHOD 2 THE”DRY” METHOD (STANDARD)
After you leave the studio you will have been cleaned and bandaged; remove the bandage after 3-4 hours. Don’t remove the bandage until you can properly clean the tattoo with mild soap and warm water. Rinse it well, sloughing off as much of the slimy coating that may have formed over the tattooed area while underneath the bandage. Gently pat it dry with a clean cloth or paper towel, then allow it to air-dry for 15 minutes before applying ointment.
Apply vitamin e oil or a specialty tattoo-healing product to the tattoo as needed, massaging a very small amount into the skin to keep the tattoo slightly moist, but NOT smothered. Use just enough ointment to make the tattoo slightly shiny, and blot off any excess. For the first day or two, your tattoo may require more cleaning or blotting, as the traumatized skin will still be losing a small amount of fluid. Ensure that extra moisture doesn’t get trapped under the ointment, by blotting and air-drying after each washing.
The healing tattoo should never stay submerged in water. Therefore, limit yourself to only short showers until the tattoo has finished peeling. It’s also important that a fresh tattoo be protected from the sun and dirty environments, as it’s still an open wound at this time. All normal activities involving water or sun exposure can usually be resumed after 10-14 days.
Only apply ointment for as long as it takes for your tattoo to peel, usually 3-7 days. When the peeling begins, the tattooed skin will flake like a sunburn. At all costs avoid picking at the cracked and flaking skin. When the tattoo has fully entered the peeling phase you should NOT apply any more ointment. The area will become dry and itchy, and a good quality, fragrance-free lotion or vitamin e oil can now be used until the skin returns to its normal texture.
If bubbles form on the surface of the fresh tattoo, stop applying ointment, letting it dry and peel on its own. This bubbling is caused by moisture getting trapped in your tattoo, usually from too much ointment, and could lead to scabbing. If scabs develop, they can remove the color beneath them if prematurely removed. It’s important that they’re allowed to dry out completely, and not get waterlogged at any time. The scab will eventually fall off on its own, and the tattoo should be fine if no deep cracks have formed.
A combination of methods 1 and 2 is NOT recommended. Please only use one or the other. Remember that until your new tattoo peels, it’s an open wound, and needs to be treated as one. Give your tattoo the time and attention it needs to properly heal. Engaging in actions such as swimming, tanning, removing the bandage early, and general disregard for it, are done at your own peril. If you suspect an infection has developed, please seek medical attention immediately, as untreated tattoo infections can have very serious consequences. | health |

Therefore, Valley Insight Meditation Society requires everyone who attends an in-person sit, retreat, or other Sangha-sponsored event to be fully vaccinated and boostered, and to wear a mask indoors at all times except while eating or drinking. The one exception to this requirement is that teachers who are leading an in-person event may un-mask while offering dharma talks, facilitating discussion, and guiding meditation. This allows their words to be more clearly understood by those attending in-person and online.
People who are experiencing symptoms of any illness, especially respiratory illness (such as cough, nasal congestion, shortness of breath, sore throat, or fever), should not attend in-person sits or other events. We expect everyone to be guided by their concern for others and by their own level of comfort when choosing whether or not to attend an in-person event. Most of our events will offer an option to attend through our Online Dharma Hall. And we are committed to re-evaluating our decisions as more information becomes available. In general, we follow CDC guidelines and may change our requirements or cancel in-person sits and events if we need to.
We are grateful for your patience, your understanding, and your shared commitment to our collective safety and wellness. May we continue to find refuge in curiosity, kindness, beauty, space, breath, gratitude, and one another. If you have any questions or concerns about these policies or our approach to sits and other events, please contact one of the teachers or a board member. (approved August 2022)
Diversity Policy: Valley Insight Meditation Society is committed to offering a safe, welcoming environment for people of all races, cultures, ethnicities, sexual orientations, classes, religions, abilities and ages in which to practice meditation and to explore the ideas put forth in the Buddha’s teachings. We recognize that all people hold unexamined beliefs, assumptions, fears and prejudices about others, and especially about those who seem different from themselves, and we acknowledge that these beliefs are a great source of suffering for individuals and societies. We strive for inclusivity, kindness and generosity toward all, in our programs and in our hearts. | health |

Good Self-Care can address the heightened level of stress we are prone to feeling during this time of uncertainty and cascading challenges that result from this disruption in our lives. It’s important to press pause several times a day and breath, get outside, take a bath or shower, connect with family or friends or do something relaxing like meditation, listening to the birds outside or noticing the new buds and blooms of spring. Chronic stress has a negative effect on our health and wellbeing, including our immune systems!! So take a moment to take care of your heart and mind and be present.2) StructureThe impacts of isolation can sneak up on you but the first signs are typically a depressed mood or increased irritability. Being mindful of those and addressing it when it happens is key but prevention is even better. Given that our daily routines are likely disrupted through this, sometimes to a great extent, creating a new structure to your day through this time can be incredibly helpful. If you are telecommuting, try setting up a specific space in your home that you plan to work from. Your temporary “home office” should be inviting, peaceful, and allow you to focus on your work. Then plan to take timed breaks to step away from your work throughout the day. It may also be helpful to set up some new structure to starting and ending your day, given that you may no longer be leaving the house and coming home. Daily hygiene can be the first to go when we have the opportunity to stay in our pajamas all day, but it is not the best thing for our mental health. Try getting up, showering and getting dressed for the day, getting a bite of breakfast and making a quick daily to-do list before sitting down to start working.Creating new routines for kids and our relationships are important as well to help everyone adapt and adjust well during this time. There may be a need to reset some expectations of each other to keep conflict in the home to a minimum when we are home together with each other all day, every day.3) Stay ConnectedWhile we can’t hang out in groups or give each other hugs of support right now, we can certainly connect virtually to help lessen the impact of isolation. Reach out to friends and coworkers via phone or video chat to touch base. Check in on that elderly neighbor (while maintaining 6 feet of distance).4) Limit Screen Time and Stay ActiveScreen time can dramatically impact your mental health for the worse. Studies on watching television show that after the first hour of watching TV, our mood plummets in the second hour and further each hour after that. To fill down time and get your mind off things, try a good book or jigsaw puzzle. Establishing new activities to replace canceled recreational, creative or social group activities, etc is also critical. Try starting up a new hobby or getting back into an old one like finally doing those youtube classes on playing a guitar or finishing that old scrapbook or wood project you started.There is another dimension as well which is that although this outbreak affects everyone, it does not affect us all equally. Although we are all facing this bigger challenge together, we are not all facing the same types of challenges. So we need to exercise empathy towards each other and caution in making comparisons or broad statements.Homeless We hear a lot about those that are elderly or have significant medical conditions being more at risk of getting very sick or even dying from the virus. What we don’t hear as much is that those without housing are at significant risk and cannot isolate the way those that are housed can. Additionally, those that are homeless often have significantly more health concerns to begin with and have less access to facilities needed to maintain the hygiene we are hearing about everyday as a recommended precautionary measure.Financial InsecurityThose that have low-income, are living just at their means each day, or own a small business are at significant financial risk due to the shutdowns taking place. The impact on the economy has the potential to pull the rug out from under many people in our communities through reduced income or breaks in employment, or unanticipated expenses.Pre-Existing Mental Health ConditionsFor those of us that have significant mental health challenges such as anxiety, mood, trauma or obsessive-compulsive disorders, the events we are currently experiencing can be debilitating. This is obvious when you consider those who worry constantly, especially about germs, but even disorders like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or Major Depressive Disorder can be exacerbated by the safety threat, potential isolation and potential loss that can come from this outbreak. Additionally, those that suffer from or are in recovery from Substance Use Disorders may have difficulty maintaining sobriety through these stressors and forced alteration of lifestyle.Counseling Tools Can HelpWith an event this big, sometimes it can be difficult to decipher what is a realistic concern and what isn’t. For those of us that manage anxiety daily in our normal lives, this can make it difficult to re-establish and maintain recovery. The common methods of treatment for anxiety, such as “reality testing”, can fail us in this new world of uncertainty, unknowns, and large-scale impacts.What we do know, is that no matter the reality outside our doors, there are tried and true evidence-based tools we can all use to stay grounded. By far the most important one is something called “Radical Acceptance”. Similar to the “Serenity Prayer” of Alcoholics Anonymous, “Radical Acceptance” is a simple but very powerful concept. It is accepting what is happening right now (instead of trying to fight it or deny it) and then focusing only on what you personally have control over and taking action in those areas. How do you know if you are trying to fight something? Generally, if the statement or thought contains the word “should”, then there is a lack of acceptance of that reality. By accepting what is and then focusing on what you can actually do about it, we empower ourselves and reduce feelings of helplessness, hopelessness and constant worry.Virtual Care is available for Mental Health ServicesThere are many other tools and resources that can help right now. Most mental health counselors at the moment are working on or have started to offer their usual in-person therapy through virtual platforms instead. This is called Telehealth or Telemedicine. It does not involve FaceTiming or Skyping with your therapist as there are strict regulations concerning security and confidentially that have to be adhered to. But certain tools or versions of tools such as Zoom, American Well, Doxy.me are allowed to be used for receiving counseling. There are hundreds out there that are safe and approved for counseling services. Some are companies themselves that you access a provider through and others are just a technology solution for your own therapist to use.Don’t forget that you are not in this alone. Please take the time to check-in with each other throughout this time. Community Youth Services is your place of employment but it is also your work family. Lets offer each other grace through this temporary challenge, wraparound each other and help each other get through this and not just survive but thrive.Community Youth Services (CYS) is currently offering virtual behavioral services to help those young people that may be feeling the effects of this pandemic. Staff are scheduling one-on-one counseling sessions will be available based on present staffing and availability via telemedicine.CYS ParticipantsOur Behavioral Health treatment programs (Multisystemic Therapy and Transitional Age Youth Support) are both able to offer services via video (telemedicine) as of last Friday, March 13. Supported Employment is also being offered through telemedicine. For those currently in therapy elsewhere, we encourage them to check in with their providers to see if telehealth is an option. Many therapists and organizations are in the process of making the switch to offer telehealth given the current circumstances.As of today, Community Youth Services IS accepting NEW participants that may be needing virtual care for mental health services! If you are, or know of a youth age 15 to 24 experiencing mental health or substance use disorders, as well families of youth ages 12 to 17 with disruptive behavior needing support, we ask you please call 360-918-7860, to get more information on the services now available to you.In addition to offering virtual services, as of Tuesday, March 17, CYS will be adjusting all other services in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. CYS recognizes that we are a critical resource for young people at-risk of or that are experiencing homelessness in our community and those needing behavioral health services. We are making every effort to remain accessible and available to those who need our services, while also reducing contact and the likelihood of spreading COVID-19, adhering to the Governors statewide emergency proclamation. We are committed to continuing to provide mental health services, peer support, and outreach to the extent possible. We are taking proactive measures to ensure the safety of our participants, staff, and community during this pandemic.Our office locations in Thurston, Lewis and Mason will be closed to the public beginning Tuesday, March 17, 2020 until further notice. We will reassess the situation weekly and update you via our website and other social media.Essential Services programs (Rosie’s/YAS, Haven House, New Directions) are being assessed on a daily basis and will stay open with certain precautions and changes in hours or capacity levels if needed based upon staffing wellness and availability or based on quarantine recommendations if warranted.Our street outreach staff will be conducting normal outreach Monday-Friday to provide support to vulnerable community members who are unsheltered – including delivering supplies and keeping youth up to date on safety and health recommendations. Drop -In hours at Rosie’s Place will be shifted and occupancy will be limited to meet safety standards.We will be actively seeking new information from health authorities as this public health emergency evolves, and we will update our response as needed.

In the fast-paced world of healthcare, where timely and accurate decisions can mean the difference between life and death, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) is ushering in a new era of patient care. AI-powered solutions are revolutionizing medical diagnosis, treatment, and patient outcomes. This article delves into the profound impact of AI on healthcare and how it is reshaping the industry.
Early Disease Detection and Diagnosis
One of the most significant contributions of AI to healthcare is its ability to assist in early disease detection and diagnosis. Machine learning algorithms analyze vast datasets, including medical images, genomic data, and patient records, to identify patterns and anomalies that may not be discernible to the human eye. AI-driven diagnostic tools have shown remarkable accuracy in detecting conditions such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases at their earliest stages.
Personalized Treatment Plans
AI is enabling healthcare providers to create personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique genetic makeup and medical history. By analyzing a patient's genetic data, AI algorithms can predict how an individual will respond to specific treatments, allowing for more effective and targeted interventions. This level of personalization is revolutionizing the field of precision medicine.
Predictive Analytics for Better Patient Outcomes
AI's predictive analytics capabilities are helping healthcare organizations anticipate patient needs and allocate resources more efficiently. Hospitals are using AI to forecast patient admissions, optimize staff schedules, and reduce wait times. This proactive approach improves patient satisfaction and frees up healthcare professionals to focus on delivering high-quality care.
Enhanced Imaging and Diagnostics
AI-powered imaging and diagnostic tools are transforming radiology and pathology. AI algorithms can analyze medical images, such as X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans, with incredible speed and accuracy. This not only expedites the diagnostic process but also reduces the risk of human error. Pathologists are also benefiting from AI's assistance in identifying abnormalities in tissue samples, leading to more precise diagnoses.
Virtual Health Assistants and Telemedicine
Virtual health assistants powered by AI are becoming integral to telemedicine. These AI-driven chatbots and virtual nurses can provide patients with real-time medical information, answer questions, and schedule appointments. Telemedicine platforms leverage AI to connect patients with healthcare providers remotely, expanding access to healthcare services, particularly in underserved areas.
Drug Discovery and Development
AI is accelerating drug discovery and development processes. Machine learning algorithms can analyze massive datasets to identify potential drug candidates and predict their efficacy and safety profiles. This expedites the development of new medications and reduces research and development costs, ultimately benefiting patients by bringing innovative treatments to market more quickly.
Enhanced Electronic Health Records (EHRs)
AI is enhancing the functionality of electronic health records (EHRs) by making them more intelligent and user-friendly. AI-driven EHR systems can assist healthcare providers in clinical decision-making, automatically generate progress notes, and flag potential errors or inconsistencies in patient records, improving the overall quality of care.
In conclusion, the impact of artificial intelligence on healthcare is nothing short of transformative. AI is enhancing medical diagnosis, treatment, and patient care across the board. As AI continues to evolve and become more integrated into healthcare systems, we can anticipate even more groundbreaking developments that will revolutionize the way we approach healthcare, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes and a brighter future for the industry as a whole. | health |

Do you love curling up after a long day to binge-watch your favourite TV show? We know the feeling! With wintery weather and the abundance of warm blankets and comfort food it’s no wonder exercise is the last thing on our minds. That is until spring arrives and the summer holidays get tantalizingly closer. By then, the pressure to get fitter and healthier feels less like fun and more like a dreaded New Year’s resolution. So instead of holding out for nicer weather, why not go out there and get a head start today?
We’ve all heard about the benefits of regular exercise, from preventing chronic illnesses like heart disease and diabetes to improving your mood, memory, strength and flexibility. Despite this the thought of signing up for a new gym contract or committing to Pilates three times a week is a daunting prospect. Thankfully there’s a host of experts who agree starting out slowly and making small changes to our everyday habits is a better strategy than entering a marathon and hoping for the best.
Because the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, we’ve rounded up some of the best ways to find and keep your exercise mojo…
- Get by with a little help from your friends
Find a buddy who already exercises regularly and join them for a workout or two. They’ll be able to offer advice on everything from training tips to how avoid injury. Or find a friend who’s also just getting started. You’ll be able to motivate each other to keep going – especially on the days you’d rather sleep stay in bed for that extra hour.
- Treat yourself to some gorgeous new gear
The old saying of fake it till you make it definitely applies here! Instead of donning that ancient tracksuit spoil yourself with some colourful fitted tees and leggings. Looking the part will make feeling the part that little bit easier.
- Take advantage of tech
Transform your smartphone into your very own personal coach by picking any one of the many amazing health and fitness apps on offer. You’ll be able to keep track of workouts and personal goals all while getting motivational reminders to keep at it. You could also treat yourself to a nifty new fitness watch like Fitbit, Garmin or Polar where you’ll get tons of helpful info on your heartrate and how many calories you’ve burned after each workout.
- Write it out
There’s no doubt that heading out for a morning jog will sometimes feel about as fun as having root canal. To keep motivated write down how you feel after every workout and glance back at it whenever you’re feeling low on motivation. Chances are you’ll find glowing statements about how fabulous and energised you felt that heading out to do it all again won’t feel like a chore.
- Remember why you started
Whether it was to fit into those jeans you’ve been eyeing, run around the block without losing your breath, or just to prove you could. Go back to the reason you started… And then think about how far you’ve already come! | health |

If you commonly suffer from panic attacks, there are things that you can do to help cope with them and to avoid the overwhelming feelings. This article is filled with valuable information that may help you manage your panic attacks a little better.
Some processed foods, and many fast food items, can actually trigger panic attacks. I won't name the company, but there is a type of fried chicken that would cause my heart to start palpitating within 30 minutes of eating it! Stick to wholesome, fresh foods you prepare yourself to avoid an attack.
Panic attacks are terrifying because the person experiencing them has the sudden overwhelming fear that they are going to die. The important thing to remember about panic attacks is that you can control them cognitively. Your brain is taking normal everyday stimuli (a shift in the road while driving, for example), and interpreting them in a fearful way. You can course-correct this fearful interpretation by trying to recall what the source of that stimulus could be. This will reduce your fear and your panic should subside somewhat.
As you use a breathing technique during a panic attack, really concentrate on your breathing. Imagine the life being breathed into your body as you breathe in, and then the toxic thoughts and feelings going back out when you breathe out. Really visualize a glowing light going in and nasty dark smoke coming out.
A useful tip for dealing with panic attacks is to change the way you live. Incorporate regular exercise into your life to eliminate extra adrenaline in the blood stream. Steer clear of smoking, drinking and processed food items, and you will stand a better chance of preventing panic attacks.
See if your friend can come and talk to you face to face. Doing so will help you improve your mood very fast.
To prevent your panic attack from worsening, avoid doing anything that might exacerbate your anxiety. For example, some people seem to think that you can be scared out of a panic attack as if it were the hiccups. In truth, putting yourself in an even more fearful situation will likely only lengthen and worsen the attack.
When you start having negative thoughts that would usually lead to a panic attack, shut them down. Say NO every time one comes up and think of the complete opposite. If you fear death, think about life. If you fear failure, go do something you know that you're really good at.
If you are experiencing a panic attack, you can try splashing your face with cold water. This will stimulate a dive sensation in your brain which will tell your body to slow down and relax. This is an easy way to help get your body to relax a bit.
Don't just listen to music when you're having a panic attack, get up and dance! Dance is a great way to exercise and get rid of the adrenaline absorbed by your body, ending your attack in a most enjoyable way. If you know that you get to dance when you have an attack you won't feel so scared about it!
After you have read these tips, you can start seeing all of the different treatments and medications that are available to you. There is a lot of information, but with a doctor's help, you can most likely find something that can work for you. So, try applying these tips to your treatment and start feeling the panic dissipate. | health |

The advice from healthcare experts is to pay attention to foot pain, and when it happens, to seek help right away. In the last 20 years, adult-acquired flatfoot has become a more commonly recognized health issue. The cause is a dysfunction of the ankle tendon that attaches to the bones on the inside of your foot. The function of this posterior tibial tendon (PTT) is to maintain the foot arch and provide strength during push-off when you walk. When the PTT is not functioning correctly, you tend to lose your arch, or become more flatfooted. This problem occurs about three times more often in women than in men, especially after the age of 40. Initially, PTT dysfunction is associated with pain on the inside of the ankle, swelling and sometimes a limp. If left unchecked, the arch appears to collapse and the pain on the inside of the ankle worsens. Eventually, if left unchecked, patients will begin to feel pain on the outside of the ankle, too.
As the name suggests, adult-acquired flatfoot occurs once musculoskeletal maturity is reached, and it can present for a number of reasons, though one stands out among the others. While fractures, dislocations, tendon lacerations, and other such traumatic events do contribute to adult-acquired flatfoot as a significant lower extremity disorder, as mentioned above, damage to the posterior tibial tendon is most often at the heart of adult-acquired flatfoot. One study further elaborates on the matter by concluding that ?60% of patients [presenting with posterior tibial tendon damage and adult-acquired flatfoot] were obese or had diabetes mellitus, hypertension, previous surgery or trauma to the medial foot, or treatment with steroids?.
In many cases, adult flatfoot causes no pain or problems. In others, pain may be severe. Many people experience aching pain in the heel and arch and swelling along the inner side of the foot.
The adult acquired flatfoot, secondary to posterior tibial tendon dysfunction, is diagnosed in a number of ways with no single test proven to be totally reliable. The most accurate diagnosis is made by a skilled clinician utilizing observation and hands on evaluation of the foot and ankle. Observation of the foot in a walking examination is most reliable. The affected foot appears more pronated and deformed compared to the unaffected foot. Muscle testing will show a strength deficit. An easy test to perform in the office is the single foot raise. A patient is asked to step with full body weight on the symptomatic foot, keeping the unaffected foot off the ground. The patient is then instructed to "raise up on the tip toes" of the affected foot. If the posterior tibial tendon has been attenuated or ruptured, the patient will be unable to lift the heel off the floor and rise onto the toes. In less severe cases, the patient will be able to rise on the toes, but the heel will not be noted to invert as it normally does when we rise onto the toes. X-rays can be helpful but are not diagnostic of the adult acquired flatfoot. Both feet - the symptomatic and asymptomatic - will demonstrate a flatfoot deformity on x-ray. Careful observation may show a greater severity of deformity on the affected side.
Non surgical Treatment
Conservative (nonoperative) care is advised at first. A simple modification to your shoe may be all that???s needed. Sometimes purchasing shoes with a good arch support is sufficient. For other patients, an off-the-shelf (prefabricated) shoe insert works well. The orthotic is designed specifically to position your foot in good alignment. Like the shoe insert, the orthotic fits inside the shoe. These work well for mild deformity or symptoms. Over-the-counter pain relievers or antiinflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen may be helpful. If symptoms are very severe, a removable boot or cast may be used to rest, support, and stabilize the foot and ankle while still allowing function. Patients with longer duration of symptoms or greater deformity may need a customized brace. The brace provides support and limits ankle motion. After several months, the brace is replaced with a foot orthotic. A physical therapy program of exercise to stretch and strengthen the foot and leg muscles is important. The therapist will also show you how to improve motor control and proprioception (joint sense of position). These added features help prevent and reduce injuries.
If conservative treatment fails surgical intervention is offered. For a Stage 1 deformity a posterior tibial tendon tenosynovectomy (debridement of the tendon) or primary repair may be indicated. For Stage 2 a combination of Achilles lengthening with bone cuts, calcaneal osteotomies, and tendon transfers is common. Stage 2 flexible PTTD is the most common stage patients present with for treatment. In Stage 3 or 4 PTTD isolated fusions, locking two or more joints together, maybe indicated. All treatment is dependent on the stage and severity at presentation with the goals and activity levels of the patient in mind. Treatment is customized to the individual patient needs. | health |

I underwent this surgery just last year after thinking long and hard about the decision for almost 18 months. As it turned out, I was absolutely over the moon with my procedure and the results and it has left me feeling far more confident and much happier in myself. The breast augmentation OC offers, at least in terms of options, is incredible and it can be difficult to pick the right clinic, after researching heavily, I finally found a clinic which made me feel comfortable, and who could deliver the results that I was looking for.
Aside from picking the right clinic, here is some important information which you need to know if you are planning cosmetic surgery.
This is a cosmetic surgery procedure which is for women who wish to enhance the size of their breasts, reduce the size of their breasts or for women with mis-shaped breast or sagging breasts as a result of age, sudden weight loss or pregnancy.
In terms of you being a solid candidate for breast augmentation surgery, you need to be a person in good health, both physically and mentally, you cannot have the procedure done if you are pregnant or breastfeeding and finally that your breasts are fully developed.
How Much Does It Cost?
Naturally this is something that will change from surgeon to surgeon but the average cost of breast augmentation surgery is $3,719. The difference in terms of price which you may see, is because of a number of factors such as skill level of the surgeon and their experience, geographical location and sometimes going to a chain of clinics could also come with higher costs.
Is It Safe?
The idea of cutting your breast open and inserting a foreign object may sound scary but this is an incredibly safe procedure which is carried out thousands of times each year. Techniques and research advancements have meant that not only is the procedure itself very safe, but so too are the implants which are placed inside the breast tissue.
What Recovery to Expect
After the procedure you may feel some slight pain in the breast area, you will be sent home with a gauze dressing and a stretchy bandage. The recovery time after breast augmentation surgery is actually very quick, with many women returning to work just a few days after the operation. You may be prescribed pain meds, and the recommendation is that you avoid lifting or carrying and over-exertion.
Whilst many clinics will offer this procedure, it is still important that you find the right clinic for you. This is just as much about finding the clinic which you feel comfortable with, as it is about you finding the best price, and the best surgeon. Expect to spend a lot of time researching the best place for you. | health |

JAMA Reports that the NMP22® BladderChek® Test is Better at Detecting Bladder Malignancies than Current Technologies
NEWTON, Mass. —January 17, 2006 — A simple point-of-care urine test, the NMP22 BladderChek Test, was found to significantly increase the detection of recurrent bladder cancer, finding 99% of the malignancies when used with cystoscopy, according to a report in the January 18 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
The lead author, H. Barton Grossman M.D. at the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center stated, “This study confirms the prior BladderChek investigation published in JAMA early last year— NMP22 BladderChek combined with cystoscopy detects significantly more cancers than cystoscopy alone. Because bladder cancer has a very high recurrence rate, we need to monitor patients vigilantly. Adding the NMP22 test to routine monitoring provides an extra measure of confidence. This test has important advantages over other methods: it provides results while the patient is at the doctor’s office and as a molecular marker it can detect cancers that might be missed visually without requiring intact cells. No other test is FDA approved for both diagnosis and monitoring that can be used during a patient visit and costs less than cytology.”
When used in combination with cystoscopy, a visual examination of the bladder, the NMP22 BladderChek test detected 99% of bladder malignancies compared to 91% for cystoscopy alone. The BladderChek test was positive for 8 of 9 cancers not seen by cystoscopy, including seven tumors that were aggressive or advanced. The BladderChek test also detected four times as many cancers as the commonly used laboratory based urine cytology test.
The authors of the study, who include clinical investigators at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, the University of Miami School of Medicine, the University of Rochester Medical Center, Rhode Island Hospital, and community based clinicians, recommended using the NMP22 BladderChek® Test in the routine monitoring and management of bladder cancer patients. They noted that it is an inexpensive and a cost-effective tool, proven to detect significantly more cancers than urine cytology, and at half the cost. When combined with cystoscopy the NMP22® test improves the detection of cancer. Unlike all cell-based urine tests it does not require laboratory time and facilities and expert analysis. This point-of-care test provides unambiguous results during a patient’s visit.
“NMP22® BladderChek® Test is an important tool for doctors—early detection of bladder cancers, both initial and recurrent, improves treatment options and patient outcome,” said Edward Messing M. D., Chairman of the Urology Department at the University of Rochester Medical Center. “Delay of diagnosis of an aggressive bladder cancer even by a few months can affect prognosis. The AUA guidelines for evaluation of patients with blood in the urine recommend using a urine test as back up to cystoscopy. We use the NMP22 test in our practice, and will include it in an upcoming National Cancer Institute (NCI) study for monitoring bladder cancer recurrence after treatment.”
Bladder cancer has the highest rate of recurrence of any malignancy, with the cancer recurring in 50% to 90% of patients, depending on the aggressiveness and extent of the initial tumor. Patients are rigorously monitored throughout their lives for new malignancies. A combination of methods is used to monitor patients since no single method is 100% accurate in detecting the cancer.
The prevalence of bladder cancer in the United States is higher than lung cancer; and its prevalence in women is similar to the number of women with cervical and ovarian cancers. Currently there are 500,000 Americans with a history of bladder cancer.
Developed and commercialized by Matritech (Amex: MZT), a leading developer of protein-based diagnostic products for the early detection of cancer, the NMP22 BladderChek Test is the only noninvasive point-of-care assay approved by the FDA as an aid in both the initial diagnosis and monitoring of bladder cancer. Using only four drops of urine, the test detects elevated levels of the nuclear matrix protein NMP22 and results are available during the patient visit.
“Bladder cancer is the second most common urologic malignancy in the U.S. after prostate cancer,” notes investigator and author Mark Soloway M.D., Chairman, Department of Urology at the University of Miami School of Medicine. “We have made dramatic changes with the use of PSA, an early detection program, and tremendous public awareness. Unfortunately, we have not done the same with bladder cancer. One quarter of all bladder malignancies are still first diagnosed after they have become invasive, so treatment is more difficult and prognosis is worse. This hasn’t changed in 20 years. The NMP22 BladderChek test is an important step forward. Not only has it been demonstrated in two large studies to improve detection of new and recurrent cancers, it provides an easy and inexpensive way for primary care doctors to screen patients we know are at higher risk for bladder cancer: people who smoke, are exposed to chemicals or have blood in their urine.”
Because of the high recurrence rate of bladder cancer, patients who have had the disease are typically evaluated for new tumors every three months for the first two years after surgery, twice a year for the next two years, and yearly after that, until a recurrence is diagnosed, at which point monitoring resumes at three month intervals. Early detection is key to extending and providing quality of life for patients, and reducing treatment costs. The five year survival rate is 94% for patients diagnosed with early stage, or noninvasive cancer, while patients with metastatic or advanced stages of the disease have as low as a 6% chance of surviving five years.
“I was diagnosed with bladder cancer ten years ago,” said Sylvia Ramsey, a professor at the Georgia Military Community College-Augusta, GA, and a leading bladder cancer patient advocate. “But, for a year, I was told I only had a bladder infection. Finally, I was referred to a urologist.” Professor Ramsey added, “Each day I am grateful that I am one of the lucky ones. Even though I am cancer free, it is a constant and vigilant process to make sure I stay that way. My urologist and I have a regular set of appointments to keep monitoring me. Ten years ago there was no BladderChek® Test. Today, what a difference! When I speak or write about bladder cancer, I urge people at risk for this cancer to be aware of its symptoms and ask their doctor about being tested. Now with the BladderChek Test, hopefully, the bladder infection that is really cancer will be found earlier.”
Bladder cancer has the highest cost per patient of all cancers from diagnosis to death, with estimated annual direct costs of bladder cancer management at $4 billion. Because of the frequent recurrences and need for rigorous monitoring, this cost per patient from diagnosis to death, ranges from $96,000 - $187,000. The average Medicare reimbursement for urine cytology is approximately $56, and $24 for the NMP22 point-of-care assay. Using these costs, the estimated savings to the medical system would be $16 million per year for one monitoring visit for each of the current 500,000 patients with a history of bladder cancer using the NMP22 test instead of cytology. Actual savings would be higher since people with a history of bladder cancer often have more than one monitoring evaluation annually.
The direct cost of treatment for patients with metastatic genitourinary cancer has been estimated to be more than six times greater than for those patients with localized disease for the same period of time. The challenge, therefore, is to improve detection of bladder cancer without increasing discomfort or cost to the patient.
Costs of detecting a case of bladder cancer using the BladderChek test have been estimated to be $2,625. This cost is comparable to accepted cancer screening tests such as mammography, PSA, and colonoscopy. For women undergoing mammography screening, the cost per breast cancer detected can be as high as $14,000. Prostate cancer screening with PSA leads to costs of nearly $3,000 per cancer detected; colorectal cancer screening has a broader range of $2,000-$5,000 per cancer detected.
About the Study
The study included 668 patients with a history of bladder cancer and was conducted at 23 clinical sites in nine states, including academic, private practice and veterans’ facilities. The study was designed to investigate whether the NMP22 point-of-care test could improve detection of recurrence of a bladder malignancy in the routine monitoring of patients with a prior history of bladder cancer. Patients provided a urine sample for analysis of NMP22 protein and cytology prior to cystoscopy. Testing for the NMP22 tumor marker was conducted in a blinded manner.
About the NMP22® BladderChek® Test
The NMP22® BladderChek® Test was developed and commercialized by Matritech, a leading developer of protein-based diagnostic products for the early detection of cancer. In June 2005 the Company announced that more than 600,000 BladderChek® Tests had been sold and Matritech expects to reach a cumulative one million units sold by early 2006. In May, 2005 the NMP22®
BladderChek® Test was featured in a number of platform presentations at the 100th annual meeting of the American Urological Association (AUA); these included clinical trial results and a cost impact analysis that demonstrated the costs of detecting a case of bladder cancer using the BladderChek® Test are similar or less than currently accepted cancer screening methods such as mammography, PSA, and colonoscopy. Additionally, the NMP22® BladderChek® Test was part of the curriculum in an AUA sponsored CME course on bladder cancer based on information presented at the annual meeting.
The NMP22® BladderChek® Test detects elevated levels of the NMP22 protein in a single urine sample. Most healthy individuals have very small amounts of the NMP22 protein in their urine, but bladder cancer patients commonly have elevated NMP22 protein levels, even at early stages of the disease. The NMP22® BladderChek® Test, a painless and non-invasive assay, is the only in-office test approved by the FDA for the diagnosis of bladder cancer. The BladderChek® Test, which is reimbursed by Medicare and other medical insurers, is more cost effective than cell-based laboratory cytology tests. It is approved for use in a physician’s office with results available during the patient visit, allowing a rapid, accurate and cost-effective way to aid in the detection of bladder cancer. NMP22® Tests have been approved by the FDA four times for two formats and claims, most recently in April 2003 for point-of-care use for diagnosis.
About Bladder Cancer
Bladder cancer is the fifth most common malignancy in the United States. There are over 500,000 people in the U.S. who have had bladder cancer, making it more prevalent in the population than lung and bronchial cancers. The American Cancer Society estimates that over 63,000 new cases of bladder cancer were diagnosed in the United States in 2005 (over 47,000 men and 16,000 women), and over 13,000 people died of the disease (nearly 9,000 men and 4,000 women). Worldwide it accounts for 330,000 new cases and 100,000 deaths each year. It is also one of the most chronic cancers, recurring in almost 70% of patients. The most common symptom of bladder cancer is blood in the urine, a condition referred to as hematuria.
Bladder cancer is diagnosed primarily in men age 60 and older (it does occur at younger ages) and roughly twice as frequently in white men as in black men. Men are three times more likely to be diagnosed with bladder cancer than women, but a greater percentage of women are diagnosed at an invasive stage of the malignancy. Among U.S. males, the incidence of new bladder cancer cases is almost as large as the incidence of colon cancer.
The most common risk factor for bladder cancer is smoking. Smokers are more than twice as likely to develop bladder cancer as nonsmokers. In the United States, smoking is estimated to be associated with about 50% of bladder cancer deaths among men and 30% among women.
Occupational exposures to chemicals (aromatic amines) used in dry cleaning facilities and the production of dyes, paper, rope, apparel, rubber and petroleum products have been associated with increased risk for bladder cancer. Other industrial exposures implicated as risk factors for developing bladder cancer include combustion gases and soot from coal, chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons, and chlorination by-products in heated water.
If diagnosed in its early stages, bladder cancer has a five-year survival rate of 94%. If diagnosed at an advanced stage, however, the five-year survival rate can be less than 10%. It has been estimated that this year in the United States about 25% of bladder cancer patients will be diagnosed after their disease has become invasive or metastatic, significantly lowering the five year survival rate.
Among U.S. women, according to the most recent SEER data, the prevalence of bladder cancer (140,000) is similar to the number of women with cervical (184,000) and ovarian (159,000) cancers. The five year survival rate of women is less than the ten year survival rate of men. Diagnosis in women may be delayed because symptoms are misinterpreted or attributed to other causes. This delay is correlated with a disproportionately higher death rate among women. In 2005 women accounted for one in four new bladder cancer diagnoses, but one in three bladder cancer deaths. | health |

Scientific background information
Haemophilia A (HA) is a congenital bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency or complete absence of coagulation factor VIII (FVIII). This X-linked disorder represents the majority of the inherited deficiencies of clotting factors, occurring in approximately one per 5,000 male births, without racial predilection. Based on the residual endogenous FVIII concentration HA is classified into three classes (Table 1).
Table 1 Haemophilia classification
|Severe||< 1 % of the norm|
(< 0.01 IU/mL)
|Spontaneous bleeding in joints, muscles or gastrointestinal tract|
|Moderate||≥ 1 to 5 % of the norm|
(≥ 0.01 to 0.05 IU/mL)
|Rare spontaneous bleeding in joints, mostly bleeding after trauma|
|Mild||≥ 5 to 40% of the norm|
(≥ 0.05 to 0.40 IU/mL)
Bleeding after injury or surgery, rare bleeding tendency in daily routine
Although the bleeding phenotype may be rather heterogeneous, even in severe haemophiliacs, this classification reflects the severity of clinical symptoms, with spontaneous joint and muscle bleeds being largely confined to patients with severe haemophilia.
The treatment of HA patients has changed over the decades and brought improvements for those affected. In recent years, (recombinant) FVIII concentrates were the drug of choice; now, with emicizumab, a new generation of HA medication has emerged.
Emicizumab is a humanised, modified, monoclonal immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) antibody with a bispecific antibody structure. It substitutes for part of the cofactor function of activated factor VIII (FVIIIa) by bridging activated factor IX (FIXa) and factor X (FX) to restore effective haemostasis in HA individuals. It is indicated for routine prophylaxis to prevent or reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes in adults and children of all ages (neonates and older), with and without FVIII inhibitors. The drug has no structural relationship or sequence homology to FVIII, so does not trigger or enhance the development of direct FVIII inhibitors. [4, 5]
Managing emicizumab in clinical practice
After an initial weekly dose of the drug over a period of four weeks, the treatment regimen may be changed to a maintenance dose every two or four weeks. Although emicizumab reduces the frequency of bleeds significantly, bleeding episodes persist under certain conditions, and this may require additional haemostatic treatment with bypassing agents such as activated prothrombin complex concentrate (aPCC, FEIBA®, Shire, Dublin, Ireland), recombinant FVIIa (rFVIIa, Novoseven®, Novo Nordisk, Bagsværd, Denmark), or the substitution of (recombinant) FVIII concentrates. Combined treatment of emicizumab with aPCC has been associated with thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), venous thrombosis and skin necrosis. To date, no comparable side effects with co-administration of emicizumab and rFVIIa or FVIII concentrates have been observed. But the mechanism that causes TMA and skin necrosis is unclear, and parallel treatment with bypassing agents should be considered carefully or preferably stopped 24 hours before emicizumab is started.
Anti-drug antibody (ADA) formation is commonly observed (e.g. with monoclonal antibodies) and the presence of ADA may alter the pharmacokinetics (PK) and/or pharmacodynamics (PD) and can affect drug efficacy as well as patient safety. During certain clinical studies (e.g. HAVEN 1-4), but also during first routine use, several cases of ADA-positive patients were reported. Even though most of the ADA were transient, few of the ADA were classified as having neutralising potential, which lead to the treatment being discontinued because of the loss of its efficacy.
Regular monitoring of HA individuals under emicizumab treatment is not needed. However, the drug has a long half-life, so the treatment recommendations described in guiding documents should be observed for six months after stopping the drug. This may require additional drug monitoring by lab tests after drug administration has been ended.
Managing emicizumab in laboratory practice
The requirements for a laboratory to test the drug activity are challenging. Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) or activated clotting time (ACT) present overly shortened clotting times with emicizumab, which does not require activation by thrombin. One-stage APTT-based FVIII assays show normal or strongly elevated results in HA individuals receiving emicizumab. [4, 9] However, this may be overcome by calibrating the assay with a commercially available emicizumab calibrator in a modified FVIII clotting assay.
A suitable alternative to APTT-based factor assays might be single factor assays utilising chromogenic or immuno-based methods to monitor the coagulation parameters during treatment. FVIII chromogenic assays are manufactured with either human or bovine coagulation proteins. However, both types respond differently to emicizumab.
Since FVIII chromogenic assays with coagulation factors of human origin, e.g. BIOPHEN™ Factor VIII:C (HYPHEN BioMed (a Sysmex Group company), Neuville-sur-Oise, France), are responsive to emicizumab, this assay type is at present the only one to be used for determining the emicizumab concentration. However, results must be considered carefully, as this assay type may overestimate the clinical haemostatic potential of the drug, specifically when measuring endogenous or infused FVIII activity in the presence of emicizumab. [4, 11]
On the other hand, FVIII chromogenic assays with coagulation factors of bovine origin, e.g. SIEMENS Factor VIII Chromogenic Assay (SIEMENS Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany), are unresponsive to emicizumab and may be used to assay endogenous or infused FVIII activity in case of combined therapy with FVIII concentrates. [4, 12] Because emicizumab remains active in the presence of FVIII inhibitors and produces false negative results in clot-based Bethesda tests, bovine-based FVIII chromogenic assays may be used for patients with inhibitors against FVIII, too. Alternatively, a modified BIOPHEN™ FVIII:C assay, in which human FX is replaced with a bovine FX, can be used.
For the time being, there are no commercially available assays for the determination of ADA against emicizumab. Nevertheless, besides the determination of the emicizumab concentration using FVIII chromogenic assays with coagulation factors of human origin, APTT assays and/or one-stage APTT-based assays might provide evidence of the presence of ADA. While evaluating a reported loss of efficacy due to ADA, a prolonged conventional APTT assay and/or a low clot-based FVIII activity in an individual treated with emicizumab is an indicator for the presence of a neutralising ADA directed against emicizumab.
Table 2 summarises the available HA assays and their usability in HA patients under emicizumab treatment. Table 3 summarises the effects of emicizumab on other assays.

Constipation can be a hard thing to bring up to your doctor. Many people will try to treat constipation on their own with home or over the counter remedies.
What do you do when those won’t cut it?
There are new options for patients who seek relief from chronic constipation. Since Trulance and Linzess both are prescription only, you will have to talk to your doctor. Which one should you ask for depends on a few key factors.
What are they used for?
Trulance and Linzess are used to treat two different types of constipation called chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) and constipation from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C).
Chronic idiopathic constipation simply means they don’t know what causes you to have constipation, but it occurs frequently.
Constipation from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C) is caused by the immune disease IBS. Most people will have diarrhea from IBS, but for some constipation occurs too.
According to the American College of Gastroenterology, it is estimated that 10-15 percent of the U.S. adult population suffers from some form of IBS. However, the number of patients who have been diagnosed is far smaller at 5-7 percent.
Things to remember before you try either drug
#1 There might be other reasons for the constipation
CIC means chronic idiopathic constipation. The word idiopathic is medical jargan for don’t know the cause. Many people have idiopathic constipation, but many also have a known reason for the constipation.
Medications can cause constipation. Opiods or drugs used to treat pain are the primary culprit, but there are many other drugs that can cause to constipation. Tell your doctor if you take an opiod as they may want to use an entirely different drug than either Linzess or Trulance.
Any medication that can dehydrate you can also cause constipation. That would include diuretics often prescribed for high blood pressure. Many other drugs called anticholernergics can also lead to constipation and there are used to treat a wide array of health issues. Make sure you review your medication list with your doctor and pharmacist before starting any new drug treatment for constipation.
Disease states can also cause constipation. Neurologic diseases can damage the nerves in your digestive tract. Polyps and tumors can lead to blockages causing constipation. Make sure you rule out any of these types of causes before you decide to ask for a very expensive medication to treat constipation.
#2 Look at your diet and lifestyle
Constipation can be down right uncomfortable. If left go long enough it can become dangerous. If you are prone to bouts of constipation you need to look at your lifestyle.
There are two very important things to remember if chronic constipation is an issue for you.
- Drink plenty of water.
Experts recommend drinking 100 ounces of water per day. Many people would have constipation concerns resolved if they followed that simple recommendation.
2. Stay active
A moderate level of activity is also going to help your digestive tract to continue to push the food through the system. Your intestines are a very long system for absorbing things we need from the food we eat. Moving around helps push food through that system so that you are not only relying on the walls of your intestines to do all the work.
#3 Try more cost effective over the counter options
Over the counter laxatives can be an effective way to treat occasional constipation. This is especially true when you pair them with increased activity and more water consumption.
Laxatives work in three ways
- Stimulate the muscles in your bowel to move faster
- Increase the amount of fluid that enters the bowel
- Increase the bulk of the stool by absorbing water into the stool
Stimulant laxatives include: bisacodyl, senna
Osmotic laxatives include: polyethelene glycol, magnesium citrate
Bulk forming laxatives include: psyllium, methylcellulose
Bulk forming laxatives are products thathave fiber in them and they are safe for use on a regular basis.
Osmotic laxatives are good at getting fluid into the stool, but could cause electrolyte imbalances if used daily. Stimulant laxatives are powerful in the effect they have on bowel wall muscle. If used repeatedly the bowel can become dependent on them. Therefore you should not use these types more than a few times per week.
#4 Both are expensive, which is better?
Trulance and Linzess both work in the same way in your body. They are called guanylate cyclase-C agonists. These drugs cause water to be pulled into your intestines which helps to relieve the constipation.
Both drugs can cause diarrhea to occur due to the nature of how the cure constipation, so it is important to know what your doctor wants you to do if that happens to you.
Trulance is the brand product that is available for sale today. The chemical name of Trulance is plecanatide. Trulance was approved by the FDA in 2017 and that means no generic is available at this time.
Trulance comes in one strengths as a 3mg tablet. The good news is you only have to take it once daily and it can be taken with or without food.
Improvements in the number of bowel movements per week are usually seen within the first week.
Linzess is also a brand only product. The chemical name of Linzess is linaclotide. It was approved by the FDA in 2012 and has no available generic. However, a generic manufacturer has applied for a patent to make a generic. After some court proceedings that action has been delayed until 2030! For more information on Linzess see 9 best tips on Linzess cost and generic availability.
Linzess comes in different strengths and is dosed based on the condition and severity. It comes as capsules that are available as 72mcg, 145mcg and 290mcg strengths.
Linzess must be take on an empty stomach 30 minutes before a meal.
Common side effects of both drugs:
- Abdominal pain
- Sinus or upper respiratory infection
Linzess has also been known to cause heartburn, vomiting and headache.
Trulance has been shown to increase some liver function tests.
How do I choose which one is right for me?
Both drugs have been proven to be effective.
In the clinical trials submitted to the FDA for Trulance, it was found to be effective. In those taking Trulance, 21% responded vs only 11% for the placebo. The numbers for the Linzess trials were almost identical. Both seem to increase the number of bowel movements by about 1.5 times each week.
Keep in mind that the over the counter laxatives are also effective and are likely to produce an similar increase in bowel movements per week. No direct studies between Trunlance or Linzess and the laxatives have been done at this point in time.
No single medication is effective for every patient. Even if you tried and failed one of the drugs it does not mean the other drug might not work for you.
It would be wonderful if a clinical trial was done comparing the two drugs head to head, but that isnt likely to happen due to the risk for the manufacturer who has the inferior product.
#5 Competition and misleading infromation
The pharmaceutical companies that make these drugs are in extreme competition for market share. There is a lot of advertising on television direct to patients about these drugs and they want to convince you their drug is better.
You may find things on the internet about these drugs that are misleading. If you see things stating there are clear advantages of one over the other, be wary of the source.
#6 Which drug is on formulary?
If you have health insurance that covers prescription drugs, then checking your formulary before you even talk to your doctor is a must. Since both drugs are in the same class and work the same, your insurer will have one that is on formulary and one that is not, or less preferred.
That can be a huge issue for you if you get the pharmacy to find the doctor wrote for the drug that is not on your formulary. You will quickly learn how expensive these medications are.
Formulary status of a drug can change at any point. Also, keep in mind that just because the drug might be covered by the formulary it might not be preferred. The more preferred the drug is the less you pay out of pocket.
It is definitely worth your time to look at the website for you health plan or call the number on your prescription drug card to determine what is the most preferred option for you. It can save you big time in the long run.
Once you decide you want to take the plunge and try either Trulance or Linzess, you will want to check on samples. Both drugs are brand name and therefore your doctor should have samples.
Try samples for a trial period to see if it works so you can avoid paying for a prescription if you don’t like that drug. Check out top 5 reasons to bullet journal medication effects to see how you can determine if the drug works while you have samples.
#6 Cash price
According to GoodRx, the cash price for these drugs are listed below.
Trulance 3mg 30 tablets
Linzess 72mcg, 145mcg and 290mcg 30 capsules of any strength
If you are not wanting to pay over $400 for a months supply then I recommend you check out the points below.
#7 Patient Assistance Programs (PAP’s)
Most people do not realize that assistance is available for free through many foundations for medication. Both Trulance and Linzess have a PAP program.
Your doctor will have to fill out paperwork for you to qualify for this assistance. If you are approved it could save you thousands of dollars as the medication is provided to you at no cost.
Trulance only offers the patient assistance for those who are uninsured. However, those on Medicare Part D are eligible.
Linzess provides assistance for Medicare Part D if they have been denied or are ineligible for a low income subsidy. They also say that other insured patient should contact the program for details.
Details on both programs can be found at Needymeds.org. Along with patient assistance programs they have money saving options for patients on many items such as medical supplies, medical transportation, etc.
#8 Copay coupon card
Both manufacturers offer copay coupons to help offset the cost of the drug. Keep in mind Medicare, Medicaid or other federal or state health plan patients are not allowed to use copay coupon cards!
Linzess costs around $442 cash price for a 30 day supply. The Linzess Savings program could get your copay down to $30. In fact, they also offer a 90 day supply for as little as $30 option also.
You have to register for a savings card like the one pictured above and if you are eligible you can get a new card right away.
The Trulance card provides up to a 90 day supply for no more than $25. If you enroll in the mobile savings to go program, the manufacturer will provide you the coupon on your mobile phone. In addition, they will send you texts to let you know when the prescription is ready at the pharmacy.
You can obtain a card via your mobile phone, email or print one out here.
#9 Check with insurance before using a copay coupon card
The coupon cards will not allow you to get the drug at this price forever! They will have maximum amount it will pay and then you will be stuck with the high copay after that point. This is why I recommend trying other steps before the manufacturer coupon card.
If you have a high deductible health plan (HDHP) you may have another problem. While this copay card is paying if your insurance has a copay accumulator program then the amount paid by the coupon will not count toward your deductible.
A copay accumulator is a fancy way to say they do not count the coupon toward your deductible, see the example below.
Your deductable is $1500, the card pays $200 per month while you pay $50 for six months.
$200 x 6 month = $1200 from copay coupon card
$50 x 6 months = $300 from you paying copay
$1200 + $300 = $1500
You might think your deductible has been met, however with a copay accumulator you would still owe $1200!
$1500 deductible minus $300 you actually paid, which is $1200.

~New Interactive Web Resource from The Treatment Research Institute and The Partnership at Drugfree.org Helps Educate Parents on State-By-State Penalties for Providing Alcohol to Teens~
New York, May 22, 2013 – While many parents may think that allowing their teens and their teens’ friends to drink at home under adult supervision keeps kids safe and leads to healthier attitudes about drinking, the truth is that there are serious negative consequences for both parents and teens. The Partnership at Drugfree.org and The Treatment Research Institute (TRI) today announced the launch of a new, interactive web resource for parents and caregivers to help inform them about one of those negative consequences: parents’ legal liabilities if they serve alcohol to teens.
Recognizing the value, particularly at prom and graduation season, of giving parents and caregivers free access to this important information, “Underage Drinking In The Home,” provides a state-by-state outline of the legal liabilities for adults who serve alcohol to minors. This new resource was created as part of the Parents Translational Research Center, a collaboration between The Treatment Research Institute and The Partnership at Drugfree.org, and the first ever National Institutes of Health-funded initiative focused on developing research-based resources for parents around issues of adolescent substance use/abuse.
Unfortunately, many parents subscribe to common myths and misperceptions related to underage drinking:
Myth: Some parents think that providing alcohol to teens at home decreases the risk for continued drinking as teens get older, and subsequent drinking problems later in life. Truth: The opposite is true – parents should be aware that supplying alcohol to minors actually increases, rather than decreases the risk for continued drinking in the teenage years and leads to subsequent problem drinking later in life.
Myth: Young people from European cultures whose parents give them alcohol at an early age learn to drink more responsibly than their American counterparts. Truth: A greater percentage of European youth report drinking regularly (in the past 30 days) versus American youth, and for a majority of European countries, a greater percentage of young people report having been intoxicated before the age of 13 than is the case in the U.S. The World Health Organization cites global longitudinal studies that found the earlier young people start drinking, the more likely they are to experience alcohol-related injury and alcohol dependence later in life.
Myth: Some parents believe that being ‘too strict’ about adolescent drinking during high school will cause teens to drink more when they first leave the home and do not have as much parental oversight. Truth: New research from The Partnership Attitude Tracking Study (PATS) reveals that teens who perceive their parents to be more permissive about alcohol use are MORE likely to abuse alcohol and to use other drugs.
Myth: Parents who serve alcohol to teenagers at home are under no legal jeopardy. Truth: A majority of states have civil and or criminal penalties for adults who serve alcohol to underage kids at home.
New Web Resource Helps Educate Parents on State-By-State Liabilities of Providing Alcohol to Teens
The new resource, which can be found at socialhost.drugfree.org features an interactive map of the United States and explains each state’s “social hosting” laws in detail, while outlining the civil and criminal penalties for adults who serve alcohol to minors. For the purposes of this tool, social hosting was interpreted as broadly as possible: defined as “when an individual over the legal age (18 or 21) serves, furnishes or permits the possession or consumption of alcohol to a person underage (generally 20 years or younger) on property for which s/he has responsibility.”
The launch of the resource comes amid prom and graduation season, already underway across the country, and a time when many parents will face the decision of whether or not to allow underage teens to drink alcohol in their homes.
Underage drinking continues to be a pervasive problem among American youth. According to the latest Monitoring The Future study of 8th, 10th and 12th graders:
- Nearly half of teens (44 percent) have consumed alcohol within the past year, while more than one in four teens (26 percent) reports having been drunk in the past year.
- More than a quarter of teens (26 percent) said they had consumed alcohol within the past month, while more than one in seven (15 percent) reported being drunk in the past month.
- One in seven teens (14 percent) said they have had five or more drinks in a row within the past 2 weeks.
- More than three-quarters of 10th graders (78 percent) say it is fairly or very easy to get alcohol if they want some and more than half of 8th graders (58 percent) say the same.
Leaders in the Treatment of Substance Abuse and Addiction, Parents and Coaches Weigh in on Underage Drinking:
“Adolescence is a time of growth and great potential but it is also a time of risk-taking and experimentation with drugs and alcohol, which can quickly get out of hand. At no other time in human development is the risk for developing a substance use disorder so high. As parents help their children navigate the often tricky waters of this developmental period, especially regarding substance use and its potentially devastating consequences, being armed with accurate information is their best line of defense. Our goal through this collaboration, and the development of this tool and others like it, is to provide critical, research-based information to parents about the realities, liabilities and potential consequences of adolescent substance use.” – Kathleen Meyers, PhD, Senior Scientist at the Treatment Research Institute.
“Childhood drinking is foremost a health issue. Many well-intentioned parents think that supplying alcohol for their child to drink at home may teach them how to ‘drink responsibly’ and might prevent them from drinking elsewhere. But the truth is that early consumption of alcohol in any context increases the likelihood of harmful effects in the long run. What’s more, studies have shown that when parents supply alcohol to their kids, it actually increases the risk for continued consumption during childhood and lifetime problem drinking. Drinking in the home does not prevent children from drinking outside the home or with their friends.” – Steve Pasierb, President and CEO of The Partnership at Drugfree.org.
“As someone, but especially as a mom, in recovery from alcohol abuse, I know firsthand that drinking at an early age can have some pretty serious consequences. There really is no safe way for teenagers and underage kids to drink alcohol. Parents – even well-intentioned parents – who allow kids to do so in their homes are under the false sense of security that it’s less dangerous. But there’s more harm than good in their actions.” – Melissa Gilbert, actress, bestselling author and spokesperson for The Partnership at Drugfree.org.
“MADD knows from previous research that parents are the number one influence on their children’s decisions about alcohol, so it’s imperative that we as parents have frequent conversations with our kids about the dangers of underage drinking. Parents need to clearly define their expectations about not drinking alcohol before age 21, and then be consistent by never providing alcohol to someone who is underage.” – Jan Withers, National President of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). MADD is a nonprofit that works to protect families from drunk driving and underage drinking.
“As a parent and coach, I have personally seen the effects of underage drinking and how it has impacted players in their performance – often as a result of families turning a blind eye or allowing players to consume alcohol at an early age. The effort to counsel young athletes on the physical and mental impacts of alcohol is challenging when they go home to face non-supportive parents. All athletes, including teen athletes face personal challenges, but our goal is to captivate them through sports, hopefully enough, to help them better understand and avert their various detractions.” – Ed Spencer, Teen Recreation Director for mid-size community in New Jersey, member of the board of Education, AAU basketball coach and father.

If so then you should consider Alpha Dermatology. It’s easily one of the leading dermatology practices in South-East Pennsylvania. Fun Fact: The human body has about 35 billion skin cells. If you’re looking for a dermatologist in the region it can be tough to sort through them. The good news is Alpha is easily one of the best options when looking for skin care services. This can help to deal with skin issues from cosmetics to cancer. This can help to protect the body’s first line of defense against various factors.
It can be difficult to sort through the various options when picking a dermatology practice. For example, there are 7,800+ dermatology practices throughout the USA or about 155 per state. It can sometimes be tough to sort through the various options and pick the right one for your wants and needs. When picking a dermatology practice there are various factors to consider. They include the doctors’ experience, services offered, and insurance carriers. These issues can help you pick the right option to provide the best results whether you want a Botox injection or skin cancer screening. Alpha can offer such services.
What Exactly Is Dermatology?
This is a branch of medicine that deals with skin conditions and other related body parts like hair and sweat glands. There are different branches of dermatology related to skin conditions, cosmetic procedures, the immune system, and so on. In fact, there’s even an area of dermatology that focuses on the effects of the immune system on skin health.
Statistics show that many people visit a dermatologist at least once during their lives. During teen/young adult years the main skin-related problem people deal with is acne. While older adults can also have acne it’s most common among younger people. In some cases, people have severe cases of acne that might require treatments to deal with the conditions.
Other people visit dermatologists for cosmetic treatments. This can include different treatments like injections that help the skin to look and feel younger. Skincare is one of the most common areas involving anti-aging treatments. While Botox has become a popular treatment there are also various other options for cosmetic treatments.
Dermatologists can also deal with various skin conditions. Some of the most common ones include acne, moles, and cysts. About 80% of cysts are non-cancerous. However, some have cancer cells so they should be treated to deal with those issues.
Skin cancer is easily one of the most serious conditions that dermatologists have to deal with. It’s important for people to be screened regularly for this condition. It’s also important to take steps using sunscreen, sunglasses with UV protection, and others to help protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
Like other types of treatments, it’s important to get treatments for serious skin conditions as soon as possible. This can help to prevent them from getting worse. In the case of skin cancer, it’s critical to treat the cancer cells/tumors to prevent them from spreading to other body parts.
What Is Alpha Dermatology?
This is the most complete dermatology practical located in Pennsylvania’s Bucks/Montgomery Counties. If you’re in South-East Pennsylvania then you should consider this practice for various dermatology services.
Alpha offers knowledgeable/experienced skincare experts. The practice offers a full range of various dermatology services like skin cancer screening, laser treatments, Botox injections, and skin cancer treatment/surgery.
The dermatology practice offers various kinds of services including:
- Growth removal (cysts)
- Skin disease treatments
- Mole removal
- Acne/acne scar treatments
- Laser treatments for scars
- Lesion treatments
The practice also offers a wide range of cosmetic treatments. They include Botox and others. These procedures are performed by dermatologists who are board-certified. The physician has performed thousands of treatments so it makes this option a good one.
Another plus of Alpha Dermatology is it accepts policies from various health insurance providers include: Aetna, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Cigna, Medicare, and United Healthcare.
If you have any questions you can call Alpha. Meanwhile, you can also schedule an appointment online for convenience. This allows you to benefit from any of the practice’s services, which is a plus over other practices that don’t offer the service.
Alpha’s website provides all the resources prospective customers need. For example, you can find information about the practice itself. There’s also information about the services offered, payment policies, and insurance forms. This is all critical information to provide customers with the best service possible.
When available of dermatology services it’s important to have critical information about various issues. That includes ones related to services, insurance, and payments. It’s critical to secure the funds required to pay for various skincare services, for example.
This involves different issues related to ones like insurance premiums and services covered. For example, many health insurance policies don’t cover cosmetic treatments. So you should know whether or not your insurance provider would cover various Alpha services.
Top Issues for Picking a Dermatologist
This is important to determine whether or not the practice accepts your health insurance provider. If you’re planning on paying using other methods you’ll want to know whether they’re accepted by the dermatology practice.
The USA spent $3.5 trillion in healthcare costs during 2018. This means there are many financial sources to help cover the costs of skin care treatments. So it’s critical to know whether or not you can pay using certain methods and through health insurance providers.
The old saying “location, location, location” certainly applies when picking a dermatologist. This is related to various factors. You’ll want a practice that’s relatively close for convenience. This is especially true if you require treatment with multiple sessions. In that situation, you won’t want to travel to the other side of the state each time you need a skin care treatment.
The web and social media have made it easier than ever to read reviews for all sorts of services including dermatologists. Make sure to research the general experience past customers have had. There’s always going to be unhappy customers. However, if most reviews for a particular practice have been negative it’s a red flag.
Make sure to consider the experience of the dermatology practice itself and the doctors working there. Experience is always important when receiving skincare treatments whether it’s for medical conditions or cosmetic improvements.
It’s important to determine the purpose of finding a dermatologist. Alpha Dermatology include various ones like cosmetic, medical, or surgical. These are some of the main purposes of finding a dermatologist. For example, you can find a practice that specializes in different services like cosmetic or medical.
In different situations, you’ll need one or multiple types of services. So it’s critical to think about the particular service(s) you require so you can pick a dermatologist practice like alpha dermatology. | health |

If you have a pet, you've probably dealt with a flea infestation at some point. It is a common problem for residents of Reno who live with dogs and cats. Flea infestations are so common that many people don't realize there is a risk involved. While most flea infestations can come and go without incident, some can present a threat to your health and the health of your pets.
How Fleas Impact Your Health
Most diseases that can be spread by fleas can't be transmitted to humans, but you should be aware of the few that can.
Murine typhus — This is a disease caused by the bacteria Rickettsia typhi. Fleas can contract this bacteria from rats, opossums, and other animals. If an infected flea bites your dog, cat, or you, this sickness can spread. This bacteria is spread by contact with flea feces. Since fleas excrete feces while feeding, bite wounds can immediately become infected.
Bartonellosis — There are several illnesses caused by Bartonella bacteria, such as cat scratch fever. If your cat is bitten by an infected flea, you can become sick from contact with your pet, specifically their saliva. You can also get it from a bite or scratch from your pet. Fleas commonly contract this bacteria from rodents.
Tularemia — This is caused by the bacteria Francisella tularensis, and the symptoms are flu-like in nature. You can get this directly from a flea that has been infected. Fleas pick this bacteria up from mice, rats, and some other animals.
Plague — While not as deadly as it once was, the plague is still a threat and it can be miserable to get. This is spread by rats.
Did you notice a thread in the above descriptions? Mice and rats are directly linked to the spread of many flea-borne diseases. If you have a flea infestation, it is important that you check to see if you also have a rodent infestation because this can put your family and your pets at serious risk.
How Fleas Impact Your Health
There are many ways a flea can make your pet sick. You've probably dealt with some of them, especially if you've ever picked up a stray animal. Two of the first things you have to do with a stray is treat it for fleas and treat it for tapeworms. What you might not know is that the animal gets these worms by accidentally ingesting fleas as it chews at them. Fleas are the root problem.
Another common ailment that pet owners must deal with when it comes to flea infestation is flea allergy dermatitis. This condition is caused by a sensitivity to the saliva of fleas. This can lead to irritated skin, dry patches, hair loss, and even open wounds on the skin.
How To Detect Fleas Early
One of the ways you can protect your pets and yourself from fleas is to address flea infestations early. At the first sign of scratching, check your pet for fleas or flea dirt. You can do this with a pet comb.
What To Do About Fleas
If you detect fleas, give your pets a flea bath or apply products prescribed by your veterinarian. After you've done this, vacuum your rugs, clean your floors, and clean all areas where your pets sleep. Be sure to get the gaps and cracks. You may also need to wash all of your bedding, especially if your animals lay on your bed.
This may correct your flea infestation. If it doesn't, you may need to have your home treated. In light of the many ways fleas can impact your health, we recommend contacting a licensed pest professional. For assistance, in Reno, contact Natura Pest Control. We can give you the support you need to make sure those fleas are quickly eliminated. We can also assist you with rodent issues that could be bringing fleas into your home and exposing you and your pets to the illnesses listed above.
Fleas aren't just a nuisance. They can be a threat to your health, the health of your family, and the health of your pets. Get effective flea control to address flea infestations in your Reno home. Reach out to Natura Pest Control today. | health |

The Department of Health has called for a reduction in the amount of salt in bread as a means to address high blood pressure. This is part of the recent preventative health push of the Department.
South Africans consume an average of 9.8g of salt per day - twice the recommended level - and bread is a high salt product. There are apparently 200mg of salt per slice of bread - so to reach the recommended level of 3g per day, you’d have to eat 15 slices of bread a day. (source)
While this might seem like a hell of a lot of bread to eat per day, in our AFSUN research we found many households surviving on just bread and sweet tea. Bread is staple for many urban households.
The problem is that in order to make these changes, there will be costs. You can’t simply remove the salt. The salt is not only a flavorant, but also impacts the texture, production method and shelf-life of the product. Both Tiger Brands and Pioneer foods have argued that this will add significant cost to the end product (link). Of course, the bread companies have been less than transparent with their pricing in the past (Link)
With food prices set to escalate (link) and many households (up to 80% in low income areas of Cape Town) already struggling with food security, what is the likely impact? How do households below the breadline cope with potentially increased bread prices? How do we balance long term health and short term food security?

A large part of the world population is struggling to shed some extra pounds. Sedentary lifestyles and lack of time in this fast paced world has made weight loss even more difficult. Due to this, people have taken to weight loss supplements that can help reduce weight without any significant efforts. However, most of these products prove to be ineffective and some of them dangerous too.
Lately, a new weight loss supplement has taken the health and diet enthusiasts by a storm. It has shown effective results, and has been clinical tested. Yes, the product in question is the green coffee extract. Green coffee is the raw or unroasted form of the usual coffee that we drink, however it does not taste half as good because it lacks the characteristic flavour of the coffee that comes only after the beans have been roasted.
Leaving the taste component aside, green coffee offers many health benefits which make it a product worth trying. Green coffee extract contains a chemical called chlorogenic acid, which is not present in the roasted coffee. This chemical is responsible for all the health benefits that green coffee offers.
Chlorogenic acid helps reduce weight by inhibiting the absorption of glucose in the body. It also increases the metabolic rate of the body, which means your body burns more calories than usual even if you keep other factors like diet and exercise unchanged. Once your body is absorbing less glucose, and has a higher metabolic rate; it tends to burn the fat deposits. This leads to effective weight loss.
Green coffee extract also helps fight free radicals in the body. The anti oxidant properties of this weight loss supplement helps fight signs of aging. So, you can expect a slimmer, healthier and a younger looking body once you start taking the green coffee bean extract. It is also beneficial for those people who have diabetes, because it regulates the release of insulin the body. So, the diabetics can get benefited from the dual effects of insulin regulation and weight loss.
Green coffee extract is known to increase immunity and fight diseases like cancer. It improves the blood circulation in the body, and builds the muscle tone. The weight loss benefits of the green coffee extract have been clinically proven in an experiment conducted by a team of scientists from the University of Scranton. In this experiment, a group of 16 obese individuals was divided into sub groups and alternating high, low and placebo doses of green coffee extract were given for a period of 12 weeks. At the end of experiments the subjects had lost 10 percent of their body weight.
This experiment, coupled by endorsement from the popular TV show host Dr. Oz went a long way in popularizing green coffee extract as an effective weight loss supplement. The best part about this product is that no side effects have been reported so far and those who have used this product are all praises about this product. The recommended daily dosage of green coffee extract is 800 mg.
The pills are easily available online, but it should be ensured that only pure coffee bean extract is bought. Check out the following link to buy the best available green coffee extract pills. | health |

Capcom has partnered with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation to release two new character costumes for its flagship scrapper Street Fighter V: Champion Edition. The limited-time DLC skins will be available to purchase from October 12 for exactly one month, with all proceeds raised from sales being donated to the BCRF and its tireless research.
“This year, breast cancer became the most common cancer worldwide, impacting 2.3 million people,” said BCRF President Myra Biblowit. “The need for better, more effective treatments have never been greater. We’re grateful for the opportunity to highlight this critical need through Capcom’s wide reach. Through this partnership, we are poised to make a direct and tangible impact on advancing lifesaving science — together.”
The two new skins — worn with pride by Street Fighter‘s iconic heroes, Ryu and Chun-Li — feature the pink, white, and black color scheme associated with the BCRF. An alternate look reverses the color highlights for each character. Available to purchase for $5.99 each or $9.99 as a pairing, Capcom will donate 100% of the DLC’s sales to the BCRF, promising a minimum donation of at least $25,000 USD for this important cause.
Founded in 1993, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation is a non-profit organization committed to the curing of breast cancer. All of the foundation’s earnings and donations are invested in the study and research of breast cancer treatment, as well as awareness programs designed to educate the public about the disease — the most predominant form of cancer in the current age. If you’d like to learn more about the foundation and its work, or make a contribution directly to the cause, please visit the official Breast Cancer Research Foundation website.

We are dedicated to providing you quality nose reshaping surgery at Rhinoplasty Birmingham AL. We ensure that your nose looks natural and balanced with the rest of the facial features after nose surgery at Rhinoplasty Birmingham AL.
Rhinoplasty is the one of the most popular surgical cosmetic procedures in the world. There are some good reasons why people of all ages and background in Birmingham AL decide to have Rhinoplasty:
Rhinoplasty can be used to correct nasal bump, short nose, long nose, twisted or deviated nose and hanging nose tip etc.
With nose surgery you can get your nose straightened, a hump on the bridge lowered, or a depression filled for better contour.
The shape and size of your nasal tip can also be refined and the angle between the tip and the upper lip can be changed.
The position of the nose tip and the bridge between them can be improved for a more natural and beautiful look.
Rhinoplasty can also alter distance from the face to the tip of the nose.
People with functional nasal problems have nose surgeries to restore breathing, correct a deviated septum, etc.
WHEN TO CHOOSE NOSE SURGERY?
Nose surgery is carried out for cosmetic and functional reasons. It can correct and improve birth defects or any type of physical trauma to the nose. It restores normal breathing and can cosmetically change your nose size, shape and angle. According to a survey, every year over ½ million people undergo Rhinoplasty.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING RHINOPLASTY?
Rhinoplasty is an outpatient surgical procedure. It may take one to three hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Clients can usually go home after Rhinoplasty surgery. Dressings may include internal and external splints and packing.

In an era marked by hectic schedules, fast-food chains on every corner, and an increasing reliance on processed foods, maintaining a healthy diet may seem like a daunting task. However, the benefits of eating healthy extend far beyond just physical well-being; they encompass mental, emotional, and even societal aspects of our lives. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the profound benefits of eating healthy, exploring how it can transform our lives in various ways.
I. Physical Health Benefits
- Weight management
One of the most apparent advantages of eating a healthy diet is weight management. Obesity has become a global epidemic, leading to numerous health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, and joint problems. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains can help individuals maintain a healthy weight or shed excess pounds, reducing the risk of obesity-related diseases.
- Disease Prevention
A nutritious diet can act as a powerful shield against a multitude of diseases. Consuming foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants can strengthen the immune system and reduce the risk of chronic illnesses, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and diabetes. For instance, a diet high in fiber can lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.
- Increased Energy Levels
Healthy eating provides a steady supply of energy throughout the day. Nutrient-dense foods, such as complex carbohydrates and lean proteins, release energy slowly, preventing blood sugar spikes and crashes. This sustained energy level helps individuals stay alert, focused, and productive.
- Better Digestion
Fiber-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains promote healthy digestion. They aid in regular bowel movements, prevent constipation, and maintain a healthy gut microbiome. A well-functioning digestive system is essential for overall health and well-being.
- Stronger Bones and Teeth
A diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, found in dairy products, fortified foods, and leafy greens, promotes strong bones and teeth. This is crucial in preventing osteoporosis and dental problems in later life.
II. Mental and Emotional Health Benefits
- Improved Mood
The link between diet and mental health is gaining recognition. Research suggests that a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and omega-3 fatty acids can improve mood and reduce the risk of depression and anxiety. These foods contain nutrients that support brain function and the production of neurotransmitters that regulate mood.
- Enhanced Cognitive Function
Healthy eating can boost cognitive function and memory. Nutrients like antioxidants, vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids protect the brain from oxidative stress, reduce inflammation, and support neural connectivity. This can result in improved concentration, problem-solving skills, and overall cognitive performance.
- Reduced Stress Levels
Chronic stress can have a detrimental impact on physical and mental health. Eating a balanced diet can help reduce stress by regulating cortisol levels and promoting a sense of well-being. Foods rich in magnesium, such as nuts and leafy greens, are known to have calming effects.
- Better Sleep Quality
Diet plays a significant role in sleep quality. Foods that are high in sugar and processed carbohydrates can disrupt sleep patterns, leading to poor sleep quality. On the other hand, a diet consisting of complex carbohydrates, lean proteins, and certain amino acids can promote better sleep.
III. Longevity and Aging Benefits
- Slower Aging Process
A healthy diet can slow down the aging process at the cellular level. Antioxidant-rich foods combat oxidative stress and inflammation, reducing the risk of age-related diseases and promoting longevity. For example, resveratrol in red grapes has been linked to anti-aging effects.
- Increased Lifespan
Research consistently shows that individuals who follow a balanced diet tend to live longer. The combination of disease prevention, better overall health, and improved bodily functions can add years to one’s life.
IV. Social and Economic Benefits
- Social Well-Being
Eating healthy often involves cooking at home and sharing meals with loved ones. This fosters stronger social connections and promotes family bonding. It also sets a positive example for children, encouraging them to adopt healthy eating habits from an early age.
- Reduced Healthcare Costs
A population that embraces healthy eating can potentially reduce healthcare costs on a societal level. Preventing chronic diseases through proper nutrition can alleviate the burden on healthcare systems and reduce the economic strain on individuals and families.
V. Environmental Benefits
- Sustainable Agriculture
Eating healthy isn’t just about personal health; it’s also about the health of the planet. A diet focused on whole, plant-based foods has a lower environmental footprint. It requires less water, produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions, and minimizes deforestation compared to diets heavy in meat and processed foods.
- Biodiversity Conservation
Promoting the consumption of a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and grains can help preserve biodiversity. Diversified diets support the cultivation of a broader range of crops, reducing the risk of monoculture and the associated loss of plant and animal species.
The benefits of eating healthy extend beyond mere physical health. They encompass mental and emotional well-being, longevity, social connections, economic savings, and environmental sustainability. Embracing a balanced diet not only enhances our individual lives but also contributes to a healthier society and planet. In a world where convenience often takes precedence, it’s crucial to recognize the profound impact that our dietary choices can have on multiple aspects of our lives and the world around us. By prioritizing healthy eating, we pave the way for a brighter, more sustainable future for ourselves and generations to come. | health |

He compared the reaction of a dark blue tattoo to a QSRL with nanosecond pulses to that of a microsecond-pulsed ruby laser. He found nonspecific thermal necrosis with microsecond impacts, while nanosecond impacts only produced transient edema accompanied by a peculiar whitening of the impact area, which lasted about 30 minutes. No thermal necrosis was present, but tattoo fragments remained in the dermis. The mechanism of this reaction was unknown but not believed to be thermal because of normal measurements taken with a thermistor. Because retention of tattoo pigment was reported, this modality was originally interpreted as a failure. However, Goldman followed the patient's progress and noted continued fading of the treated area.
In 1992, Goldman communicated that he was unable to continue this work because his engineer had been fatally electrocuted, and the project was abandoned. Three years later, other investigators confirmed and expanded these results by using a QSRL (694 nm, 20 ns) to remove blue and black tattoo pigment successfully without tissue damage. Biopsies performed after 3 months showed absence of tattoo pigment and no evidence of thermal damage. These effects were dose dependent, with fluences of 5.6 J/cm2 or less showing absence of thermal damage but incomplete pigment removal. Higher fluences led to subepidermal blistering similar to a second-degree burn and dermal fibrosis at 3 months, although pigment removal was more complete. Subsequent studies concluded that this treatment modality was impractical because of the small target areas and the risk of coagulation necrosis of tissue surrounding the tattoo pigment.
Reid et al continued to study the QSRL, and, in 1983, they published an additional report on the removal of black pigment in professional and amateur tattoos. They reported good results, particularly with amateur tattoos but noted several disadvantages, including the need for multiple treatments (often 6 or more) for complete pigment removal. They also reported scarring in 2 patients and emphasized the need to use relatively low powers (but above the threshold to produce immediate tissue whitening) and the importance of the treatment interval. At least 3 weeks between treatments were necessary for tissue healing and pigment removal by macrophages. In vitro tests showed an immediate reaction in the ink that could be explained only by a chemical reaction.
Biopsy specimens revealed evidence of ink fragmentation into smaller particles, which were then phagocytized by macrophages. These 2 phenomena correspond with clinical observations of an immediate reduction in visible pigment in the first week after treatment, followed by gradual fading over the next several weeks without further therapy.
Stimulated by studies that found that the QSRL preferentially damaged melanized cells in animal skin and by the tattoo studies previously cited, researchers at the Wellman Laboratories of Photomedicine at Harvard Medical School completed a detailed dose-response study of the QSRL in 1990
By using a 40- to 80-nanosecond pulse, they treated 41 tattoos 5 times at doses of 1.5-4 J/cm2. Of 27 amateur tattoos, 8 cleared at a rate greater than 75% (all treated at 4 J/cm2) in an average of 2.6 treatments. None of the 14 professional tattoos reached this level within 5 treatment sessions, and frequent purpura and rare, punctate bleeding occurred. Twenty-eight tattoos with residual pigment were treated up to 5 times at fluences of 5-8 J/cm2 with more tissue damage, frequent purpura, and occasional superficial erosions noted. At the completion of this phase, more than 75% clearance was achieved in an additional 10 amateur tattoos (average of 3.5 treatments) and 3 professional tattoos (single treatment).
The overall results were excellent in 78% of amateur tattoos but in only 23% of professional tattoos. Despite these discouraging statistics, the authors were optimistic that the QSRL would become the preferred treatment for tattoos because of the rare result of scarring. In addition, the authors stressed that the competitive absorption by melanosomes, which led to vacuolization of melanocytes and keratinocytes, with hypopigmentation noted in 39% (low fluences) to 46% (higher fluences) of patients. Normal pigmentation was reestablished progressively over a 4- to 12-month period; however, 4 of the 10 tattoos examined 1 year after treatment still showed confettilike hypopigmentation.
The authors agreed with previous investigators that the immediate whitening represents rapid, localized heating with steam or gas formation, resulting in dermal and epidermal vacuolization. An unexplained brief emission of white light as the laser pulse struck the tattoo pigment was noted. Interestingly, histologic persistence of altered tattoo pigment in areas of clinical clearing was noted, suggesting a change in the optical properties of the tattoo pigment.
This study did not establish an optimal treatment interval. Although the mean interval was 3 weeks, intervals of 1-5 weeks were used with no statistical difference in response. Blue and black pigments were most responsive, whereas green and yellow responded less well and red was poorly responsive to the red wavelength (694 nm). Purpura and punctate bleeding most likely represent indirect vascular injury from photoacoustic waves generated by the laser's interaction with tattoo pigment.
Scheibner et al reported preliminary results of treatment of 101 amateur and 62 professional tattoos using fluences of 2-4 J/cm2 with a 40-nanosecond pulse width, spot sizes of 5 and 8 mm, and a treatment interval of 5-6 weeks. Although response details are lacking, after an average of 4 treatments, 87% of amateur tattoos were more than 80% clear, while of 62 professional tattoos, only 11% were more than 80% clear. Treated areas required 10-14 days to heal, remained erythematous for an additional 1-3 weeks, and developed hypopigmentation lasting 2-6 months in most patients. Skin textural changes resolved over 6-8 weeks, with no scarring reported. Tattoos of the face and the neck responded faster but were more sensitive to tissue damage, necessitating lower fluences. A better response was noted with older, professional tattoos and blue inks in comparison to other colors.
As stated earlier, Taylor et al reported on light and electron microscopic analysis of QSRL-treated tattoos. After irradiation, all of the 3 previously described particle types were still found, in addition to the round, lamellated, electron-lucent particles measuring 25-40 nm found more commonly in the deeper dermis and subcutaneous fat. These altered particles are believed to originate from the 40-nm particle. After treatment, pigment granules measured approximately 1 µm (compared with the original size of 4.0 µm) and were loosely packed. Granules in the papillary dermis measured 0.2-0.4 µm and were densely packed. Again, clinical clearing correlated poorly with histologic clearing because tattoos that responded well often had residual pigment.
The mechanism of action of the QSRL is through photon absorption by tattoo pigment within fibroblasts. During the 40-nanosecond pulse, temperatures exceeding 1000°C can occur. Gaseous products of pyrolysis or pores created by superheated steam may account for the lamellated appearance of the granules after laser exposure. The reduction in pigment particle size and fragmentation of pigment-containing cells probably results from rapid thermal expansion, shock waves, and potentially localized cavitation. Fluence-dependent thermal damage to collagen immediately surrounding the irradiated tattoo pigment also occurs. | health |

These injuries indicate that the Man suffered a violent blunt trauma to the neck, chest and shoulder from behind, causing neuromuscular damage and lesions of the entire brachial plexus.”
This is the conclusion four university professors arrived at in an in-depth study they carried out on the image of the crucified Man on the Turin Shroud. They observed that “the posture of the left claw-hand is indicative of an injury of the lower brachial plexus, as is the crossing of the hands on the pubis, not above the pubis as it would normally be, and are related to traction of the limbs as a result of the nailing to the patibulum.” Only part of the study has been published so far in Injury , the prestigious International Journal of the Care of the Injured. The rest of the study is to follow shortly. The four experts involved in the research are: Matteo Bevilacqua of the Hospital-University of Padua, Italy; Giulio Fanti of the Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Padua, Italy; Michele D’Arienzo of the Orthopaedic Clinic at the University of Palermo, Italy and Raffaele De Caro of the Institute of Anatomy at the University of Padua, Italy.
The first discovery the four experts made, is that the Man of the Shroud underwent a dislocation of the shoulder and paralysis of the right arm. The person whose figure is imprinted on the Shroud is believed to have collapsed under the weight of the cross, or the “patibulum” as it is referred to in the study, the horizontal part of the cross. The Man of the Shroud the academics explain, fell “forwards” and suffered a “violent” knock” “while falling to the ground.” “Neck and shoulder muscle paralysis” were “caused by a heavy object hitting the back between the neck and shoulder and causing displacement of the head from the side opposite to the shoulder depression. In this case, the nerves of the upper brachial plexus (particularly branches C5 and C6) are violently stretched resulting in an Erb-Duchenne paralysis (as occurs in dystocia) because of loss of motor innervation to the deltoid, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, biceps, supinator, brachioradialis and rhomboid muscles.” At this point it would have been impossible for the cross bearer to go on holding it and this brings to mind the passage in the Gospel which describes how the soldiers forced Simon of Cyrene to pick up Jesus’ cross. Not an act of compassion therefore, but of necessity. This explains why “the right shoulder is lower than the left by 10±5 degrees” and The right eye is retracted in the orbit” because of the paralysis of the entire arm, the academics say.
The second discovery described in the Injury article is to do with the double nailing of the Man’s hands: Until now, experts could not explain the absence of thumbprints. The four academics can now reveal that “the lack of thumbprints of both hands on the TS is related not only to a lesion of the median nerve that causes only a slight flexion of the thumb, but also, particularly, to the fact that the nail driven into the wrist has pulled or injured the flexor pollicis longus tendon causing its dragging in the hole and the complete retraction of the thumb.”
Why the double nailing?One plausible reason could be that the Man’s executioners were unable to nail his hands into the holes that had already been specially punched into the cross to prevent the nails from bending when they were hammered into the hard wood. Once the first wrist was nailed to the cross they failed to nail the second one using the pre-prepared hole and so the executioners had to unnail both wrists. They then apparently drove the nails in lower down between the two rows of carpal bones, on the ulnar side of the hand.
The third discovery is to do with the right foot of the Man of the Shroud: it was nailed to the cross twice. An analysis of the imprint of the sole of the right foot shows two nails were driven into it: one between the second and third metatarsal and another at heel level which other academics had not spotted clearly.
According to the four experts, the Man of the Shroud definitely siuffered a very serious and widespread pain accompanied by an intense sensation of heat, and usually shock when there is event he slightest limb movement. This was caused by a total paralysis of the right arm, the nailing of the left arm because of damage to the median nerve and the nailing of the feet because of damage to the tibial nerves. This method of nailing led to breathing impairment: with the arms raised at an approximately 15 degree angle causing the ribcage to expand, the lungs had difficulty expiring, reducing air flow. In addition to this, each deep breath the Man took to speak or to catch his breath will have put a strain on the lower limbs causing him intense pain.

Comorbidity, defined as “the simultaneous presence of two chronic diseases or conditions in a patient” comes into play when COVID impacts either an underlying medical condition, or another medical condition which develops after the COVID finding. When comorbidity exists in COVID-19 cases, affected workers are placed at greater risk as to the eventual outcome of their health because of the impact of COVID on their other medical condition. In either scenario, the second medical condition – whether it develops before or after the onset of COVID-19 – makes the situation more severe and problematic.
Many COVID-19 sufferers develop comorbidity if they have high blood pressure/ hypertension, chronic pulmonary disease, diabetes, liver problems, kidney problems, cancer or even obesity. These factors, along with other medical conditions which are combined with COVID-19 to create comorbidity, place the affected workers at a higher risk of suffering a more severe disability because of the combined impact of the two medical conditions, substantially delaying their ability to return to work, and/ or increasing their level of residual impairment.
Research regarding comorbidity has shown that it increases the likelihood of death when two medical conditions – one being COVID-19 – interact. As time progresses, and our understanding of comorbidity and COVID increases, there will be information which should cause adjusting agencies to see the combined effect.
The combined effect of COVID-19 and other previously-existing or later-developing medical conditions is a paramount issue to be addressed by Workers’ Compensation adjusters, adjusting agencies and self-insured employers so they will recognize the impact of comorbidity. If those parties fail to make this recognition and delay treatment needed by injured workers to cure or relieve their work-related injuries which involve comorbidity, the workers most likely will be off work for a longer period of time and have increased residual impairment.
For adjusting agencies, being aware of comorbidity and dealing with it proactively is a must.
Case law states that if a worker has a condition which is work-related, the employer has the absolute responsibility to cure or relieve the effects of that condition. And it is not necessary just that condition. If any ancillary medical conditions develop as a result of the work-related injury – in this case, COVID-19 – those conditions also become the responsibility of the employer’s Workers’ Compensation carrier.
In addition, if a pre-existing, current or subsequent medical condition which is non-work-related delays or makes worse the work-related medical condition, this disease or condition must be treated under the Workers’ Compensation system.
As stated previously, no matter what form the comorbidity takes – whether the COVID-19 impacts a previously-existing medical condition, or whether another medical condition develops after the COVID finding – the employer has the responsibility to cure or relieve both medical conditions.
As we know, the Utilization Review process and Independent Medical Review process for obtaining medical care are damaged and need correction. However, adjusters can recognize the necessity of care needed by injured workers and override UR and IMR to provide that care.
Comorbidity and COVID are tied together like twins, and must be dealt with properly. If this fails to be the case, injured workers’ need for medical care, their length of time off work, and their residual impairment will all continue to accelerate.
(For more information, see Newsletter 2021 Issue #7 — COVID/LONG HAULERS/ LONG COVID – which supports the fact that more information and better treatment of injured workers will allow for less impairment and a quicker return to work.) | health |

You are probably thinking of that hideous plant (dare I even call it a plant?) from the 90s. The ones were you sprinkle chia seeds on a head, pet, or of course, Garfield. Guess what, they added Shrek and Sponge Bob to the mix. Why not?
Well, I not exactly talking about those Chia products. I really don't need anymore plant decor in my house that I can murder. Instead I am talking about the little seed they use, the Chia Seed. It is magical. I mean it can make Shrek grow hair.
Hey, I have an idea! Do you think it can help baby M...
Other than its mystical ability to transform clay pottery into plant "hair" growth, it does wonders for your body.
Chia seeds were known to be part of the Mayan and Aztec diets. They thought that consuming 1 tablespoon could sustain a person for 24 hours. It was referred to as the "running food". Aztec warriors relied on the seeds heavily to sustain them through battle. I know there are plenty of wellness warriors that are mad about them as well.
Chia seeds are loaded with Omega-3 fatty acids; even more so than its homeboy, flax. Fatty acids help protect against inflammation and heart disease. Dr. Oz says that, "they have among the highest antioxidant activity of any whole food–even more than fresh blueberries." They also have more calcium than a glass of milk. It is 20% protein and has a ton of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
Christopher McDougall, author of Born to Run, the true story of the astoundingly fit and healthy Tarahumara barefoot runners in Mexico, (who take off on 50-100-mile running runs as if they were evening strolls) likened the nutritional value of chia to making a 'smoothie of wild salmon, spinach and human growth hormones.'
Do you need more reasons to dig the seed? When part of a regular diet, Chia seeds help:
- cardiovascular health
- muscle energy and endurance
- joint function and mobility
- digestive regularity and detoxification
- maintain healthy blood sugar level **important for me since finding out I am hypoglycemic
- memory and mental clarity
- hormone modulation
- libido function
- improved in skin complexion
If you consume 2 tablespoons of Chia seeds, you are getting the same amount of Omega 3 content as eating 2 slices of salmon, 11 eggs with Omega 3, and 50 glasses of milk with Omega 3.
Do you need another reason? Here is a big one! It helps you lose weight. For real. I know from first hand experience. They kill cravings. When I make a Chia Fresca I feel full and satisfied for hours. I praise the high fiber content and nutritional density. No deprivation, no binges, no guilt, no stress.
You can make your own healthy version of Red Bull with Chia seeds. Many athletes and endurance runners use this drink. Warning- it's pretty hardcore. It's part slimy and bumpy but actually super refreshing and delicious.
Chia Fresca (Power Drink)
8-10 oz of water
1 tablespoon chia seeds
Mix seeds and water thoroughly
let it sit for 15 minutes
Yes it gets slimy and gel-like but once you add lime, lemon, honey, or sugar to taste it is superb!
Another option if you don't like the texture but want the benefits, is to blend baby blend.
let chia seeds soak 10 minutes
add to blender with water, ice, lemon, and agave.
If you still can't stand them, grind them in a coffee grinder to make them smaller. I don't think it is necessary but whatever floats your boat or gets you eating these magic seeds.
Chia seeds, have very little flavor. It is just a bit nutty, but more than anything, it has a seed like texture. Not bad at all, but can take some peeps getting use to.
Ways you can bond with your chia...
In your favorite oatmeal with blueberries and almond butter
Sprinkled in salads

why is power important in football
Power is vital in football, enabling players to generate force quickly and excel on the field. It affects striking, aerial duels, acceleration, and physical dominance. Power allows for powerful shots, accurate passes, and winning headers. It helps players navigate past defenders, create scoring chances, and apply strong tackles. Additionally, power enhances shielding the ball and winning physical battles. At a team level, power contributes to fast passes, dynamic attacks, and defensive solidity.
By focusing on power development through training, players can elevate their performance, make a significant impact, and contribute to their team’s success in football.
Why does strength training help football?
The cost of the physical demands of football can come in various forms, from the inability to keep up with play or to be competitive, reduced decision-making ability to increased muscle soreness after a match and inability to bounce back for the next training session.
As well as coming at a performance cost, this loss in function can also come at a risk of injury. This is where muscular strength in football becomes important.
By engaging and completing a carefully constructed strength training program, it is possible to improve performance whilst reducing the adverse effects of high-intensity and high-volume football actions.

We believe that these physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual needs are essential and provide a foundation in which learning can then take place.

Oral examination revealed a radiopacity in the maxillary sinus.
When questioned about the sinus area, the patient denied any history of symptoms associated with this region. The patient appeared to be in a general good state of health, with no significant medical history. The patient's dental history included regular examinations and routine treatment. At the time of the dental appointment, the patient was not taking any medications.
The patient's vital signs were found to be within normal limits. Examination of the head and neck region revealed no enlarged or palpable lymph nodes. Examination of the soft tissues of the oral cavity revealed no unusual findings. Radiographic examination revealed a large radiopacity projecting from the floor of the left maxillary sinus (see radiograph). The radiopacity appeared as a smooth, dome-shaped, homogeneous mass. The teeth adjacent to the left maxillary sinus were tested for vitality; all tested vital.
Based on the clinical and radiographic information available, which one of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
- periapical cyst
- malignant tumor
- antral pseudocyst
- periapical abscess
- antral pseudocyst
The antral pseudocyst is a common and well-documented finding on a panoramic radiograph. Most are discovered during routine radiographic examination and have little clinical significance. The antral pseudocyst should not be confused with the mucocele of the sinus, a destructive lesion of the sinus that requires surgical intervention.
The antral pseudocyst is believed to be caused by an inflammatory exudate that accumulates under the maxillary sinus mucosa and results in a sessile elevation. The exudate is serous (fluid-like) and not mucous in nature. This fluid is found below the periosteum of the floor of the maxillary sinus and results in the separation and elevation of the sinus mucosal lining from the bony floor. The cause of the fluid accumulation that results in the antral pseudocyst is unclear, although some studies suggest an adjacent odontogenic infection may precipitate the formation of this lesion. A primary irritation of the sinus lining is also considered a possible cause for the antral pseudocyst.
The antral pseudocyst is estimated to occur in 1.5 to 10 percent of the population. The antral pseudocyst of the maxillary sinus can be seen in any age group. Males are affected more frequently than females. The antral pseudocyst is asymptomatic. In contrast, the true sinus mucocele — a lesion that is capable of expanding and destroying bone — is associated with symptoms such as pain and tenderness in the areas of the teeth and face adjacent to the sinus.
The antral pseudocyst may vary in size from a small dome-shaped mass to a very large dome-shaped lesion that fills the entire sinus cavity. Over time, the antral pseudocyst may remain stationary, increase or decrease in size, or disappear for no apparent reason. The antral pseudocyst is best demonstrated on a panoramic film and is often discovered during routine radiographic examination. It may also be seen on maxillary posterior periapical films or extraoral films such as the Water's and the posterior-anterior skull films.
Radiographically, the antral pseudocyst appears as a dome-shaped radiopacity extending from the floor of the maxillary sinus. The lesion appears as a homogeneous, soft-tissue radiopacity. The borders of the lesion exhibit the same density as the body of the mass and normal anatomic landmarks can be seen through the image of the mucous retention cyst. The antral pseudocyst most often occurs unilaterally, but may also be seen bilaterally.
The location and radiographic appearance of the antral pseudocyst are considered to be diagnostic. Based on the radiographic appearance, there are a number of lesions that may be confused with the antral pseudocyst, including tooth-related cysts, the sinus mucocele, and malignant tumors of the sinus.
The antral pseudocyst usually persists unchanged or disappears for no apparent reason. No treatment is necessary because the lesion is limited in growth and not destructive. The teeth adjacent to the antral pseudocyst should be thoroughly evaluated and any areas of odontogenic infection should be eliminated.
If the diagnosis is questionable, or if symptoms are present, the patient should be referred to an ear, nose & throat specialist for evaluation. The patient with an antral pseudocyst should be informed that the lesion is present and be reassured concerning the benign nature of the lesion. Because the majority of antral pseudocysts regress spontaneously, periodic radiographic examination with panoramic films can be used to follow the lesion.
