Sierra Leone was the country most affected by the outbreak of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) with the highest transmission rates in West Africa. EVD not only put pressure on Sierra Leone’s medical facilities, including the loss of 7% of all health workers in the country, but it also revealed significant weaknesses in the country’s health system and infrastructure. These weaknesses persists today, over a year after the outbreak was declared over by the WHO.
The objective of this project is to strengthen the Sierra Leonean health care system through the deployment of experienced diaspora health care professionals to Koinadugu district, one of the largest and least developed districts in the country, to support the delivery of quality health care to the population by building the capacity of local health workers.
This project is funded by Japanese Government to enhance the Sierra Leone development. The Government of Japan has committed to its “Promoting resilient health systems for improved quality of life” to African countries, as one of three pillars of Sixth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD VI) which was held in Nairobi, Kenya in August 2016, and this project output can be attributed their commitment.
IOM UK will be supporting the implementation of the project by engaging Sierra Leonean health professionals who are based in the UK, informing them about the project and vacancy opportunities.
Find out more by attending the roadshows on 19 October in London, 20 October in Birmingham and 22 October in Manchester.

Keywords:Pneumonia, CNN, Histogram Equalization(HE), CLAHE, Covid19(Pneumonia), VGG16.
Pneumonia, also known as bronchitis, is caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. Pneumonia can be fatal to an infected person because the lungs cannot exchange air. The disease primarily affects infants and people over the age of 65. Every year, nearly 4 million people are killed by the disease, which affects an estimated 420 million people. It is critical to detect and diagnose this condition as soon as possible. Diagnosing the condition using the patient's x-ray is the most effective method. Experienced radiologists will use a chest x-ray of the affected patient to make this informed decision. Recently, coronavirus is a contagious viral disease caused by the SARSCoV2 virus. This virus affects the human respiratory system. The virus also causes pneumonia (COVID pneumonia), which is far more dangerous than normal pneumonia. The main purpose of this task is to study and compare several deep learning enhancement techniques applied to medical x-ray and CT scan images for the detection of COVID19 (pneumonia).
A convolutional neural network (CNN) is used to design a model that can distinguish between COVID19 pneumonia and normal pneumonia. In addition, image enhancement techniques (histogram equalization (HE), contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE)) have been processed against the dataset to find more efficient methods and models for detecting pneumonia. A dataset of 6432 CXRs were used - 576 COVID pneumonia CXRs, 1583 normal pneumonia CXRs, and 4273 healthy lung CXRs. Based on the results, it was observed that the equalized histogram and the equalized dataset of CLAHE run faster than the original dataset. This requires a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system that can distinguish between COVID pneumonia, normal pneumonia, and healthy lungs. In addition, the improved VGG16 achieved 96% accuracy in the detection of X-ray images of COVID19 - pneumonia.

Melanin is what gives skin and hair its color, helps protect skin against damaging UV light and absorbs heat from the sun. However, an overproduction of melanin stimulated by excessive sun exposure, hormones, or scarring, leads to a mottled, uneven skin tone.
1) Sun exposure: When skin is repeatedly exposed to UV light, sun damage occurs. Brown spots appear as a result of too much melanin being produced to help protect skin from UV light.
2) Hormones: Melasma is hormone-related hyperpigmentation caused by increased hormone stimulation. It is most commonly experienced by women who are pregnant (which is why it’s also known as the “mask of pregnancy”) or taking contraceptives, but can also be a reaction to cosmetics or medications.
3) Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation: This is a darkening of skin that’s the result of scarring, which can be caused by acne lesions or skin injury. | medical |

Some doctors suggest home remedies for mild ingrown toenails, including soaking your feet or trying to lift the ingrown edge of the nail with a piece of cotton or dental floss. While these strategies can work in some circumstances, we do not recommend them. If they fail, it will only mean more pain and a greater risk of infection. And even if they succeed, they are likely to return.
By contrast, an ingrown toenail removal can usually be performed as a same-day in-office procedure—no need to re-appoint—and provides safe, fast, and permanent relief. This is a much better option for most patients, especially children. | medical |

The Seventy4 evening programme is an abstinence-based addiction recovery programme that incorporates a number of approaches including Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). The programme takes place two evenings per week for a period of 12 weeks. It includes group sessions and individual counselling and is ideal for people who cannot attend full-time or part-time day programmes.
Dual Diagnosis Service
Seventy4 offers a number of specialist services for clients who have addiction problems and a severe and enduring mental health problem, known as dual diagnosis. There are various programmes depending on the person’s mental health condition and where they are in their recovery journey (abstinences-based and harm minimisation based).
We also offer a community facilitator programme for dual diagnosis clients, funded for three years by the Big Lottery Fund. This is a self-development programme to help clients seek opportunities for themselves and others in their own communities and educate key stakeholders about dual diagnosis and what sort of support people can access.
How to access the service
Seventy4 is open to anyone aged 18 and over. The fees for any programme can either be funded by the client’s local authority or self-funded.

At some point in life it is almost inevitable that a family member or a friend or yourself will suffer an accident or other traumatic experience. Until recently, it was a widely-held medical view that all trauma and uncontrollable stress were an irreversible disease. Now we understand that they’re natural survival processes gone awry. We’ve all heard of the flight or fight response. Less is spoken about the third primitive biological coping mechanism, freeze. When faced with what’s perceived as an inescapable or overwhelming threat, both humans and animals instinctively use the immobility response - a powerful surge of survival energy gets trapped, literally frozen, in the nervous system and muscle tissue. If this compressed residual energy isn’t allowed to discharge, we become traumatized and a part of us literally disconnects.’ Somatic Experiencing (SE) works by listening to the body to re-establish those powerful physiological mechanisms - allowing them to complete and restore us to perfect wellbeing. Blending psychotherapy with bodywork, SE works with the body’s self- healing intelligence to guarantee powerful new ways of coping with what you couldn’t before.
SE can be used by anyone, for almost any symptom, and alongside other therapy.
How does it work?
Using a few gentle, powerful techniques, we can support your body’s innate capacity for healing. By tuning into physical sensations with awareness, trapped life energy is released, and with it the stressful symptoms that keep us stuck in the past.
What does SE offer?
- Freedom from debilitating symptoms of stress and traumatic reactions through gentle, conscious body sensation rather than intense emotion.
- A direct understanding that the healing of traumatic stress often doesn’t, if at all, require sophisticated drugs or long hours of therapy.
- An education in how to work with your body and mind to increase vitality, wellbeing and enjoyment of life.
- A rational understanding and resolution of stressful symptoms and behaviours that conventional medicine and alternative therapies have failed to stop.

- 1. Urinate after intimacy. This helps flush out bacteria that may have entered the urethra during intimacy, reducing the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and other infections.
- 2. Clean the genital area. Washing the genital area with mild soap and water helps remove bacteria or pathogens introduced during intimacy. Harsh soaps and douches should be avoided as they can disrupt the natural balance and increase infection risk.
- 3. Wear clean underwear. Using clean, breathable underwear made of cotton or natural fibers helps prevent moisture buildup and reduces the risk of bacterial or fungal infections. Tight-fitting underwear and synthetic materials should be avoided.
- 4. Avoid sharing personal items. Sharing personal items like towels, razors, or undergarments can spread infections. It’s important to refrain from sharing these items, especially after intimacy, to prevent bacterial or pathogen transmission.
- 5. Practice safe intimacy. Using condoms during intimacy provides protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including UTIs, gonorrhea, syphilis, and others. Proper and consistent condom usage is crucial for maximum protection.
- 6. Keep nails trimmed. Short and clean nails prevent the transfer of bacteria or pathogens from hands to the genital area during intimacy or restroom use.
- 7. Stay hydrated. Drinking plenty of water aids in flushing out toxins, including those in the urinary tract, reducing infection risks.
- 8. Be aware of changes. Pay attention to any unusual symptoms such as itching, burning, discharge, or pain in the genital area. Seek medical attention promptly if any changes occur to prevent the spread or worsening of infections. It’s worth noting that maintaining overall good health through a healthy diet, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep supports a strong immune system, reducing the risk of infections. If concerns about intimate health or symptoms of infection arise, consulting a healthcare provider is essential for proper evaluation and treatment. | medical |

Yeast infection is a common infection caused by yeast or fungi. Yeast usually resides in the vagina in small amounts, but these fungi can increase in number and cause infection.
The microscopic fungus that causes yeast infections is known as Candida. In large amounts, these fungi can cause candidiasis, which is another name for a YI. The fungi that cause YI live on the surface of the human body. This infection occurs in warm and moist areas such as the armpits, throat, or vagina.
Candidiasis develops in the vagina when the vaginal environment changes. The yeast inside the vagina multiply and cause the vaginal infection. Commonly, this infection occurs as a result of using steroids or antibiotics. The use of birth control may also cause problems. Additionally, wearing skin-tight clothes for long durations can result in an infection. A vaginal infection may also be the effect of an injury in the vagina.
It may occur in the mouth or throat, as these are the warmest and moistest places of the human body. Candidiasis in these parts of the body is known as thrush. This type of fungal infection is extremely common in infants.
A yeast infection can occur around dentures in adults. It may also occur beneath the breasts. Furthermore, your skin folds and nail beds could be targets for candidiasis; however, the infection that occurs in these areas is usually not that serious.
Although the infection seems common, it can be a real problem for you. Luckily, the treatment is quite simple.
Symptoms of a Yeast Infection
Obviously, every infection occurs with some symptoms. The most common symptoms of vaginal infections are itching, severe pain, and soreness while urinating or during intercourse. Vaginal infections may also result in thick, white vaginal discharge. This discharge is odorless. Victims with thrush may develop a white layer on the human tongue. This layer is known as plaque. Plaque is similar to yogurt. Sometimes, an infected tongue may also become red without white patches. Thrush is extremely painful; the patient may have difficulty swallowing or eating food.
Treatment of Yeast Infections
Most of the time, a vaginal infection can be cleared with the use of over-the-counter medications. These medications can be bought from local drug stores. However, if over-the-counter medications do not work, then you should consult a medical professional. For treating thrush, you will need to go to a doctor. The doctor can suggest a proper mouthwash for you to use. Only mouthwash is prescribed for infants; however, adults can also take anti-fungal pills to get rid of thrush. Furthermore, creams may be prescribed for yeast infections in the nail beds and skin folds.
It can be resolved without complications if the proper treatment is given. Commonly, it takes two weeks to cure a vaginal infection. However, an infection becomes difficult to treat if the patient’s immune system is weak. For such patients, the treatment of candidiasis is extremely difficult, as their bodies do not respond properly to the medications. This may lead to an increase in the amount of time needed for successful treatment. For the prevention of a vaginal infection, keep your vaginal area clean. Use only mild or unscented soaps, especially near sensitive areas.
Try to wear underwear that does not increase moisture in the vaginal area; underwear made of cotton is the safest type. As tight clothing also causes this infection, you should avoid wearing it, if possible. Tight clothing keeps your body warm and promotes unwanted moisture. You should also avoid using perfumes, powders, and deodorants in feminine areas, as they can create an imbalance of the organisms in your vagina. | medical |

It serves as both an alternative to Stata’s official mestreg command and a complimentary command with substantial extensions. stmixed can fit multilevel survival models with any number of levels and random effects at each level, including flexible spline-based approaches (such as Royston–Parmar and the log-hazard equivalent) and user-defined hazard models. Simple or complex time-dependent effects can be included, as can expected mortality for a relative survival model. Left-truncation (delayed entry) is supported, and t-distributed random effects are provided as an alternative to Gaussian random effects. I illustrate the methods with a commonly used dataset of patients with kidney disease suffering recurrent infections and a simulated example illustrating a simple approach to simulating clustered survival data using survsim (Crowther and Lambert 2012, Stata Journal 12: 674–687; 2013, Statistics in Medicine 32: 4118–4134). stmixed is part of the merlin family (Crowther 2017, arXiv Working Paper No. arXiv:1710.02223; 2018, arXiv Working Paper No. arXiv:1806.01615). | medical |

"*" indicates required fields
Pre-operative blood work is required for some procedures but is recommended for
all patients undergoing anesthesia. This blood work allows our team to assess
your pet’s anesthesia risk level and tailor the medications used accordingly. While
it is preferable to do it prior to the day of surgery, we can perform this on the
morning of surgery.
Canines Only: An up-to-date heartworm test is required for all dogs 1 year of age or older.
If your dog is overdue, we will update it on the day of surgery.
If no, this can still be performed in hospital, the morning of surgery if necessary.
Canines Only: While recovering from surgery, it is important your pet has restricted activity for
10-14 days. If interested, we can send home medication (typically Trazodone) to
help keep them calm during their recovery period.
A noninvasive therapeutic laser therapy is offered to all our surgical patients after
surgery over their surgical incision. This therapy helps decrease pain,
inflammation and speeds the healing process.
Applies to Spay and Neuter Surgical Procedure:
Tattoos are applied to patients surgically spayed/neutered. Tattoos aid in the identification of altered animals for prevention of unnecessary surgical exploration in the future. This is performed free of charge.
Dog and cat microchipping is a simple procedure. A Home Again microchip is a
permanent pet ID. It is read by passing a microchip scanner over the pet’s
shoulder blades. The scanner emits a low radio frequency that provides the power
necessary where the chip is located to transmit the microchip’s unique cat or dog
ID code and positively identify the pet.
An Elizabethan collar (or e-collar) will aid in protecting my pet’s incision after
surgery and understand there can be serious complications if they lick or chew it
open. An abdominal incision may even be life threatening.
In the unlikely event that your pet experiences respiratory and/or cardiac arrest there is a
short and critical window of opportunity to initiate CPR beyond which the success rate of
cardio-pulmonary resuscitation decreases significantly.
If CPR is selected and necessary, we will contact you to make further decisions.
If CPR is effective, there are often problems that need to be addressed after resuscitation.
CPR does not resolve any underlying diseases. It is important that you know there are
costs associated with CPR and the total will vary depending on your animal’s needs. This
and the cost of any additional care after CPR are in addition to your current estimate.
Should you change your mind at any point during your pet’s hospitalization, please notify
your pet’s doctor so that we may follow your wishes. We will ask you to sign a new form
with your revised choice.
I, the owner, have read and understand all of the above policies mentioned.

Savella (Milnacipran) is one of the few drugs used to treat symptoms of fibromyalgia. Although the exact mechanism by which Savella (Milnacipran) improves the symptoms of fibromyalgia is unknown, some researchers believe that abnormalities in certain brain neurotransmitters may be central to fibromyalgia. Savella (Milnacipran) blocks the reuptake of both norepinephrine and serotonin, with greater selectivity for the inhibition of norepinephrine reuptake in vitro. This may be the mechanism by which Savella (Milnacipran) acts to improve the symptoms of fibromyalgia. You can buy discount Savella (Milnacipran) online through a Canadian pharmacy.
Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder with often debilitating symptoms such as muscle, tendon, and joint pain, in addition to fatigue. Because symptoms often overlap with other diseases and the condition is not well understood, it can take years for fibromyalgia to be diagnosed.
Anyone considering the use of Savella (Milnacipran) in a child, adolescent, or young adult must balance this risk with the clinical need. Short-term studies did not show an increase in the risk of suicide with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults beyond age 24; there was a reduction in risk with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults aged 65 and older. Depression and certain other psychiatric disorders are themselves associated with increases in the risk of suicide. Patients of all ages who are started on Savella (Milnacipran) should be monitored appropriately and observed closely for clinical worsening, suicide, or unusual changes in behavior. Families and caregivers should be advised of the need for close observation and communication with the prescriber. Savella (Milnacipran) is not approved for use in the treatment of major depressive disorder. Savella (Milnacipran) is not approved for use in pediatric patients. You can have your prescription filled at a low price through online Canadian pharmacies and be guaranteed to pay a low price and have the convenience of having your medication delivered right to your door by buying discount medication through online Canada drugs store.
Do not stop using Savella (Milnacipran) suddenly, or you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms such as dizziness, anxiety, feeling irritable, confusion, headache, ringing in your ears, and sleep problems. Talk to your doctor about how to avoid withdrawal symptoms when you stop using Savella (Milnacipran). Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for the next regularly scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and take the next one as directed. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose. Avoid drinking alcohol while taking Savella (Milnacipran). Alcohol may increase the risk of damage to your liver. Savella (Milnacipran) can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert.
Always consult your physician for any questions you may have on Savella (Milnacipran) if there is information listed which you do not understand. Drink plenty of water when taking your medication and unless it states to do so, never take your medicine on an empty stomach. It is helpful to establish a certain time each day to take Savella (Milnacipran) to maintain consistency. Please follow the directions closely when taking this medicine as there are side effects. Never allow anyone else to take this medicine without a prescription. If you have not finished all of this prescribed medicine, do not dispose of it in the toilet, instead, call your local Poison Control office for instructions on proper disposal. | medical |

Timeless Male’s Sculptra Aesthetic® treatment is the first treatment designed exclusively for a refined, yet nuanced lift. This subtle yet direct treatment allows for a more progressive and natural change, as opposed to the instant change seen with many anti-wrinkle solutions on the market.
Sculptra Aesthetic® treatment is radically different from traditional dermal fillers and works by targeting the root cause of loss of volume—diminished collagen. As we age, we start to lose collagen and the skin starts to develop wrinkles and lines. Collagen is what keeps the skin looking young, full, and plump. When collagen is not replenished, as is the case in aging, the skin loses volume. The Sculptra Aesthetic® treatment works by reversing the effects of aging by promoting collagen production.
Sculptra Aesthetic® works gradually and leads to a subtle yet noticeable improvement in skin volume. The full treatment includes three injection sessions over a few months. With each session, the active ingredient (poly-L-lactic acid) is injected into the skin which replaces lost collagen and also encourages natural collagen production for long-lasting, natural-looking results that can last up to two years. Because its effects are gradual, and because the skin is plumped by the body’s own natural ‘lifter,’ the results are matchless in terms of naturalness of appearance. It truly is the gold standard.
Sculptra’s active ingredient poly-L-lactic acid is a biocompatible and biodegradable synthetic compound. Once injected, it is absorbed into the body without any reactions and starts to work within the deep dermis, fortifying and reinforcing the foundation of skin structure. A safe and stable compound, poly-L-lactic acid has numerous applications in medicine and has been used for many years. There’s absolutely nothing to worry about!
This is an injectable treatment that delivers real results! Many consider its ‘look’ to be more refined, compared to dermal fillers that may look somewhat artificial (especially if administered improperly.) Rather than plump up the skin with substances that lose potency over time, the Sculptra approach is to counter and reverse the problem, not mask it. | medical |

As a future EMT, this was my first course through AHA online. After the online sessions I had to attend my hands on training. Cheryl with CPR Done Right is a great teacher! She went into all the main details that were included in the online portion, step by step, while answering all my questions in between. After going over the procedures we then did hands on which she gave corrections and provided proper instruction. She is very professional and as a visual learner I give 5 stars all around. If needed again, I will be returning and recommend to everyone.Ashley Hentschel5 Star Google Review
I had to take a CPR course for nursing school and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor than Cheryl! She replied promptly and explained what I had to do to obtain my certification clearly, she told me what steps I had to take and helped me through the process. When it was time to work with her she explained everything very well and wanted to make sure that you knew the information and were confident about it. She was extremely nice and helpful!

They resemble varicose veins that occur on the leg. When irritated, hemorrhoidal veins may itch, burn, or bleed and cause painful swelling in the surrounding membranes. Piles are frequently caused by straining during a bowel movement, heavy lifting, childbirth, severe coughing, and constant sitting. Millions of Americans suffer from hemorrhoids, often unaware that they have them until they start to experience pain or protrusions. The symptoms associated with hemorrhoids can be treated with topical medications such as hemorrhoid creams, changes in lifestyle as well as eating habits, or even in extreme cases surgically removed.
Hemorrhoids can arise internally or externally. Internal hemorrhoids are deep within the rectum and may go undetected until they bleed or perhaps protrude, causing severe pain. Internal piles are also known as prolapsed hemroids and require prompt treatment to avoid more severe complications. There is a grading scale used to determine the severity of internal hemorrhoids. Grade one is the least severe and is described as mild distention. Quality two is protrusion of the hemorrhoid during a bowel movement that spontaneously reduces on its own. Grade three is a protrusion during a bowel movement that must be manually pushed back in. Level four is a completely prolapsed hemorrhoid that cannot be reduced and the inner lining from the rectum is also starting to prolapse.
External hemorrhoid distress tend to get the most attention due to their unpleasant symptoms. The painful burning itch requires prompt treatment. Cut off from the supply of blood, external hemorrhoid flare-ups can develop clots and become painfully thrombosed. Fortunately, hemorrhoids can usually be controlled by practicing a healthy lifestyle and simple medical treatments. Hemorrhoids have a tendency to recur once the rectal veins have become bigger. Much less straining is required to have a recurrence of hemorrhoids than it took to develop them initially. Finding the cause of your haemorrhoids is the first step, hemorrhoid no more is pointless if you don’t eliminate the cause of the problem. Straining due to constipation is the source of most hemorrhoids. Keeping stools soft is the best way to avoid straining throughout a bowel motion. Regular exercise and also healthy eating habits are the best preventative measure you can take but if all else fails, you must seek therapy right away. Hemroids that trigger mild discomfort in the morning could become excruciatingly painful by evening. | medical |

Working in partnership with the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Margate Police Department will host this event that aims to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of medications.
Residents are encouraged to bring their unwanted, unneeded, or expired prescription drugs to this event for safe disposal.
Participants may dispose of medication in its original container with the prescription label removed. Acceptable medications include: Prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and pet medicine.
Needles, thermometers, chemotherapy or radioactive substances, oxygen containers, pressurized containers, inhalers, illicit drugs, and liquid medications are NOT ACCEPTED.
The National Prescription Drug Take-Back addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Many Americans are not aware that medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are at alarming rates, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that many abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, many Americans do not know how to properly dispose of their unused medicine, often flushing them down the toilet or throwing them away – both potential safety and health hazards.

- Navy beans are abundant in folate, which is essential to supporting your red blood cells and keeping your blood vessels free of damaged caused by a buildup of homocysteine.
- Navy beans are an excellent source of protein and fiber, so they are helpful for regulating your blood sugar and insulin levels. If you’re a diabetic or borderline diabetic, you want to make navy and other beans dietary staples.
- Navy beans are a good source of magnesium and potassium – both of these minerals are need to keep your cardiovascular system healthy. Specifically, magnesium is needed to keep your blood vessels optimally relaxed, while potassium is needed by your heart to optimally contract as it pumps blood to the rest of your body.

Common injury prevention and rehabilitation techniques strongly utilize and prefer a method of treatment called R.I.C.E. Coined by Dr. Gabe Mirkin in 1978, R.I.C.E stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. This series of treatments is utilized for a multitude of general and severe muscular and training related injuries or ailments. With recent research and testing however, this formerly common and accepted mode of injury treatment and prevention has begun to see an increasingly reduced usage (Stone, 2014).
“Coaches have used my “RICE” guideline for decades, but now it appears that both Ice and complete Rest may delay healing, instead of helping.” Stated by Dr. Mirkin’s, new scientific research details that icing is not only a poor method for injury prevention, but may also have negative effects on overall athlete injury rehabilitation. When a muscle is damaged or injured through exercise or other means, the human body utilizes natural biological systems to immediately begin repairing the damaged muscle.
The first stage of this process is called inflammation. Counter to classical views, inflammation is a positive consequence of injury. Inflammatory cells serve to aid recovery by releasing the hormone, insulin-like growth factor, directly into the site of muscle injuries. This vital hormone promotes muscle recovery within the specific site of the injury. When ice is used, this critically important biological process is slowed or altogether halted. Instead of optimally promoting blood flow, icing constricts blood vessels and limits the access of inflammatory cells to the site of an injury. Consequently, icing an injury may directly cause a delayed recovery and an increased rehabilitation time (Mirkin, MD, 2014).
In direct relation to ice reducing the body’s ability to bring needed inflammatory cells to the site of an injury, ice also inhibits the body’s ability to reduce or prevent swelling. Swelling is the result of the body’s accumulation of blood, debris, and damaged cells at the site of an injured muscle following the inflammatory response. The body’s natural response to swelling is to “evacuate the waste” via the lymphatic system. When an individual uses ice during rehabilitation, the body’s ability to evacuate this waste is greatly diminished (Reinl, Freeze Frame: Are Inflammation and Swelling Friends or Foes?, 2013).
A study published in the “Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research” further corroborated this by noting an increase in “muscle damage markers” following a period of ice application. Further results noted an increase in individual fatigue “72 hours after topical cooling compared with controls.” Overall results suggested a delayed recovery effect extending from the application of ice to damaged muscle areas (Tseng, et al., 2013).
As further noted by Guilhem, et.al, repeated applications of “localized air-pulsed cryotherapy” did not affect overall muscular and neuromuscular recovery. Over a two week trial period, inflammation and local swelling were found to have not been reduced. Additionally stating “Therefore, instead of decreasing edema [swelling] formation and inflammation, localized cryotherapy (even repeatedly applied) more likely only reduces the amount or the rate of the damaged cells.” Although cold and ice therapy may delay the overall effects of intense muscular activity and soreness, it does not effectively reduce or prevent them (Guilhem, et al., 2013).
In addition to icing, any tool or method for injury prevention or rehabilitation which reduces the body’s natural inflammatory response will inevitably inhibit overall recovery. As stated by Dr. Mirkin, this will include, “cortisone-type drugs, pain-relieving medicines, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and immune suppressants.” Anything which will offset or delay the human body’s natural immune or inflammatory response—such as Advil and Ibuprofen— will delay the overall recovery process (Mirkin, MD, 2014).
As an alternative to methods of rest, ice, compression, and elevation, direct or indirect muscle “activation” should be utilized. By activated the muscles surrounding the injury site, natural biological systems of recovery can be aided. This process works by—
“[Activating] the tired and/or sore muscles (and/or) the muscles surrounding the injured tissue) to initiate the cascade of events that literally works to protect the area from further damage, prevent or retard disuse atrophy, increase circulation, and, ultimately, heal the damaged tissue.”
Non-use of injured muscles will delay an eventual recovery, while conversely, muscle activity will promote a faster eventual recovery. Appropriate muscle activity may take the form of physical activity such as walking, running, or swimming, or stationary activity such as electronic-stimulation or other muscle stimulation machines.(Reinl, Iceless Recovery: Actual Loading Protocols that Worked!, 2013).
In relation to icing and injuries, it is important to note the difference between muscle soreness and an injury. Soreness is caused by general muscle use—is non-serious—and can last up to a few days following an intensive training session. Common soreness can be relieved through rest, recovery workouts, and rehabilitative measures for muscle activation. If an individual claims a muscle is too sore to use, complains of distinct pains, or has soreness which lasts longer than a few days, an injury may be present.
If an athlete experiences pain or severe soreness following intense muscular activity, ice may be used for pain relief. Recommendations of 10 minutes on-10 minutes off are commonly made and may help to reduce overall pain levels. Following any initial pain relief therapy or after a period of six hours, icing will only be detrimental to an athlete and should be avoided (Mirkin, 2015).
In the case of a serious injury, it is critical that a proper diagnosis from an athletic trainer or doctor is immediately sought. Unlike soreness, injuries cannot be properly resolved through rest and basic recovery work. It is important to follow strict professional guidelines for recovery and rehabilitation when dealing with an injury.
Overuse and sport related injuries are increasingly prevalent at every level of athletics. Injuries can play a large role in athlete development and eventual success. Injuries can be static in nature, effecting a single muscle group, or dynamic and continually change and effect multiple muscle groups. In addition, injuries can affect individual athletes for a short duration of a single day, or conversely, affect an athlete for an entire season—even ending the particular season in question.
The key to injuries is a sense of understanding, awareness, and ability to be proactive.
Two injuries common to track and field and sprinting in particular are shin splints and hamstring injuries. As a result of the high impact, high intensity nature of sprinting, increased strain is largely localized on the lower limb muscle groups.
Shin splints, or medial tibial stress syndrome, is a pain—dull or severe—on the inside of the tibia or shin. Shin splints may occur before physical activity, during physical activity, and after physical activity while resting. Pain in the tibial region of the lower body is caused by, “irritation of the periosteum- a saran wrap like covering around [the] bone- or a stress reaction to the underlying bone.” Shin splints are largely the result of identifiable movement and muscular dysfunction. This dysfunction can be acutely seen in the hips, knees, feet, and toes of an athlete. If these individual groups are unbalanced and pointed in a non-linear or outward manner, increased stress will occur through patterns of overactive versus underactive muscle use. In order to correct misalignment and alleviate issues stemming from shin splints, direct treatment and rehabilitative exercises are necessary to oppose the current dichotomy of overactive versus underactive muscle use. Foam rolling, stretching, and strengthening the afflicted regions have shown to equalize muscle usage and diminish pain from shin splints.
It must be noted however, that pain in the tibial region of the lower limbs may also be caused by underlying bone weakness or more severe injuries. In these cases and when proactive treatments are unsuccessful, professional guidance should be sought. Nonetheless, in general, direct treatment and rehabilitative measures should be attempted instead of merely masking the underlying problem through purchasing new shoes or insoles, icing, or complete inactivity (Stone, Shin Splints 101, 2013).
In addition to shin splints, hamstring injuries are a very common ailment among track and field sprinters. Hamstrings are one of the largest and most utilized muscle groups in the human body. Hamstrings are maximally employed during top-speed sprinting, but are also heavily used during each component of a training or performance session. Although hamstring injuries may be caused by basic muscle weakness, more common causes relate to physiological and mechanical issues.
Two large issues which cause hamstring injuries are “diminished range of motion in the ankle and [an] anterior tilt of the pelvis.” Diminished range of motion in the ankle relates to an inability of an athlete to properly dorsiflex the ankle during high intensity activity. The result of this inactivity causes a chain of unwanted tightness through the lower limbs and causes undue strain on the hamstring region. An anterior tilt of the pelvis relates to an individual’s hip being physically tilted forward and not in a neutral or linear position. This position is commonly referred to as “butt-out posture.” This position can be commonly caused by lower back tightness, hip flexor tightness or improper mechanical positions while sprinting. Each individual cause will place a correlated increased tightness and strain on the hamstring muscles. Following proper observation and identification of the root cause, rehabilitation should be focused on “pain free movement,” strengthening of the afflicted regions, and a mentored recovery plan by a sponsored athletic trainer (Schexnayder, 2013). | medical |

Shrinking into back grounds, not daring to have friendships and feeling generally ill-at-ease with other children at school.
There were different reasons for this I am sure. But one that I remember being paramount was that I had a defect. One that drew a lot of attention especially in places like the school gym or changing rooms.
My deformity was Pectus excavatum, also known as sunken or funnel chest. It is a congenital chest wall deformity in which several ribs and the sternum grow abnormally, producing a concave, or caved-in appearance in the anterior chest wall. It causes difficulty at times in breathing and can be very uncomfortable particularly with girls as the time comes to find a bra that fits, works correctly and does the job needed! Mine was particularly concave and very deep.
I have learned and studied over time how this condition affects children. They can experience high latent anxiety, latent being used to describe how it exists but is not yet active or cannot be seen, any motivation broken and feelings of stigmatization can occur. I experienced my own need to hide, timidity resulting and by being disturbed by the strange body image. Ambivalence, and high latent aggressiveness develops, as well as of course inhibitions.
As one enters adolescence there can be much more dependence on parental home, alcohol and drug abuse, psychosomatic symptoms, displacement and generalized hypochondria. These all take effect in many areas of young people’s lives but the pectus condition has a tendency to accentuate that. This needs careful addressing if it is not to become exaggerated in later years and when it is present needs the counseling necessary to unveil the hidden anxiety and destructive tendencies.
My condition wasn’t really known about when I was younger. It was simply accepted as ‘that is what I looked like’ in me. There was an operation developed in the 1970’80’s and treatment of it, where you can have a metal rod attached under the sternum to force the bones to grow outwards. This is called the Nuss procedure. It was too late for me, having been born in 1960, to consider and I am happy that my parents did not resort to this, although I know for some it worked very well and they now have normal bone structure in their chests. Some I have heard it did not work so well for, causing pain and discomfort. But none the less I did still have difficulty breathing and never discussed this with my parents. I kind of assumed it was normal!
I would lie in my bed taking very deep, some times gasping great breaths to attempt to fill my lungs and have that wonderful feeling of having the ‘life force’ weaving though me.
Then when I had taken enough of these breaths I could relax and go to sleep. I don’t even think I knew at that age it was because of my deformity.
But that flow of air, that moment of deep breath that I really had to work for was a Godsend, I could feel it in my cells and opening my heart to expand more and more. From a tiny micro breath, to deep expansive caverns within me. It was so worth the effort. If i did not make that effort I could feel collapsed, dull, life less, and would sink into a dream like deathly state.
It wasn’t all discomfort though having this condition, as a child I would enjoy moments in the bath, filling my ‘hole’ playfully with water and even as a young woman had my lover drink champagne from it! I was asked to play a role in a film of a ghostly women in a rather sexy moment in a horror movie, dancing and putting her hands deep inside her chest, in a rather strange ritual. It looked very real once edited and I rather enjoyed the experience, dancing with a gaping bloody hole in my chest for all to see, morbid yes, but suddenly my chest became a movie star! And I can assure you the blood came totally from a bottle of color dye!
I would however get a little tired of people who tried to correct my posture, telling me to stick out my chest more, straighten my shoulders and spine when at times I could barely breathe because I had become so tightened. If I forgot to exercise or had spent a long time being still, for what ever reason, I would feel its effect. For sure my lungs were sometimes being crippled inside their cage.
Dancing was always the best thing for me. It opened me up and stretched me. It forced me to breathe more in the doing of this.
I had a pony who had broken wind. Which meant she had a hole in her wind pipe. This caused her to wheeze sometimes but she also needed to be kept fit, to exercise a lot and this would help her enormously. We worked together, riding the terrains and landscapes, both getting out of breath and both having to rest awhile and regain our posture, strength and ability to continue.
As I have become older it has been easier, as I have managed this deformity more and more and learned to live with it. Still to this day, dance is essential, stretching is essential, keeping my bones free and supple is essential for the very necessity of being able to breathe properly.
I always know when I havent’ done enough, it is always a reminder to me to hit the sounds of music button and ‘move,’ no matter how I feel! For all of us, no matter our condition, movement is a vital key, breathe is vital, without it for sure we die. And if, I learnt very early on, we do not breath deep enough, our life force is not fully present and it is very difficult to relax or find enough energy.
Movement Medicine has given me just the right amount of movement, breath and understanding of my bodies needs. No pushing, no force, just gentleness. Once my body is strong and healthy then I know how much I can support my life and the live’s of others. Finding my micro breath and learning to expand it has really helped me, rather than trying to force the breath in, as I felt I had to do when I was young.
I began to feel that I was given this bone structure for a reason, I had to! There was so much I could learn about breath and about movement because of it. It actually became a teacher for me, and I learnt within that to love this part of my body, ugly though I felt it was, then. The rest of my body was fine, it bore babies and danced freely.
I learnt to be with the tiny micro, the restrictions of life, to understand sometimes that things do not need to be forced. I learnt to be patient with my body and to take time with it. I learnt how important the breath was and how sometimes we need to really respect it, feel immense gratitude for it and learn how to use it to effect different areas of the body. I learnt how deeply connected to the breath are our emotions and how to breath through everything we feel. I learned how my voice, though also held in place through the cage of bone structure, wanted its freedom, wanted attention, wanted to be heard.
Voice and breath, riding together, just like the rider and the horse, my teenager and her pony, working together to be whole to be complete and to be free.
Learning to say thank you for the absolute simplest things in life… like the breath we take every day. | medical |

We also specialise in Acupuncture treatments at Comfort Podiatry in Newport.
Western medical acupuncture is the use of acupuncture following a medical diagnosis. It involves stimulating sensory nerves under the skin and in the muscles.
This results in the body producing natural substances, such as pain-relieving endorphins. It’s likely that these naturally released substances are responsible for the beneficial effects experienced with acupuncture.

With more than 400,000 Americans living with multiple sclerosis (MS) – and a large percentage of them right here in the Pacific Northwest – Swedish is responding to the needs of our community by creating a truly comprehensive MS center.
In April 2012, Swedish opened a new, state-of-the-art MS Center at the Swedish/Cherry Hill Campus. At 11,700 square feet, the new MS Center at Swedish is one of the largest in the country. The Center was specially designed to meet the unique needs of MS patients. In addition to expanded space for exam rooms and provider offices, the new Center includes a gym filled with specialized equipment, as well as an outdoor therapy terrace, a wellness center, a community gathering space, and an on-site research office.
Community support has played a substantial role in opening the new MS Center, and philanthropy continues to be essential in making our vision for creating a comprehensive MS Center a reality. Gifts received in support of the new Center will help provide comprehensive wellness and education services, social work, rehabilitation therapy, psychology and research programs at the Center to help people live more fully with MS.
Just as it takes a community of care providers to help MS patients live full lives, it also takes a community of donors to help Swedish set the benchmark in MS care. Your support is needed. Please make a gift today to help the thousands of people living with MS in the Puget Sound region. | medical |

In rural areas, finding good doctors or hospitals can be difficult. Therefore, it is advisable to carry the most essential medicines with you.
Quito, Bogotá and other cities are at almost 3000m above sea level. Here, altitude sickness in the form of dizziness, headache, nausea or loss of appetite might be felt. In the mountains, some of which are significantly higher, serious cases can occur, which in bad cases can lead to brain swelling or pulmonary edema.
As a precautionary measure, it is advisable to take it easy in the first few days after arrival in Quito or Bogotá and to allow enough time for acclimatization when ascending higher mountains.
Yellow fever is endemic in many regions and is transmitted by mosquitoes. The symptoms include fever, headache, abdominal pain and vomiting. A preventive vaccination is possible.
Malaria is transmitted through mosquito bites, usually at dusk. High fever, headache, body aches, chills and diarrhea are signs of possible malaria. Malaria occurs only in the lowlands below 1500m. The risk of becoming infected is considered low in the lowlands of South America.
The mosquitoes that transmit dengue fever are diurnal. The signs are similar to malaria. There is no vaccine or preventive pills.
Typhus is caused by bacteria and transmitted via contaminated drinking water or contaminated food. In the early stages of the disease, typhoid fever may feel like a bad cold. In a later stage high fever, nausea and vomiting are not uncommon. A vaccine is available.

The health benefits of Matcha are unparalleled due to the rich abundance of antioxidants, polyphenols, chlorophyll, fiber, vitamins, amino acids and other nutrients.
Matcha drinkers consume the entire tea leaf in powder form, not just tea-infused hot water. This ensures that 100% of the green tea’s nutrients are absorbed as opposed to 10% of the nutrients consumed in regular steeped green tea.
A study published in the Journal of Chromatography showed that the concentration of antioxidants is 137 times greater in matcha than in standard steeped green tea (1).
MATCHA IMPROVES CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS
Numerous health benefits have been associated with the consumption of green tea. Green tea regulates blood sugar in diabetics, lowers cholesterol, and protects against liver disorders and cardiovascular disease (2).
Green tea possesses enormous potential for cancer prevention and reduces the risk of certain cancers, including colon, breast, ovarian, prostate, and lung cancer.
According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the antioxidants found in matcha are believed to help prevent cancer (3) by:
- Protecting DNA in cells from damage caused by free radicals.
- Inhibiting tumor cell development and inducing cancer cell destruction.
- Activating detoxification enzymes which prevent tumor growth.
- Protecting against damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) B radiation.
- Improving overall immune system function, our body’s defense against cancer cells.
EGCG, MATCHA'S POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANT
Antioxidants shield the body from harmful free radicals by protecting DNA, preserving healthy tissue, minimizing cell damage, preventing aging, fighting chronic and degenerative diseases, and maintaining a healthy immune system.
EGCG has disease fighting properties, protects DNA, fights the aging process, and aids weight loss.
No other food or beverage contains the concentration of EGCG found in Matcha.
Of all the natural antioxidant-rich superfoods known on earth, matcha is the highest in antioxidant levels.
The ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity) test was developed by the USDA and Tufts University to determine antioxidant levels of foods and beverages.
Umami Matcha has an astonishing ORAC score of 1384, blowing away the other antioxidant rich superfoods tested, such as pomegranate which scored 105 and spinach which scored 26.
Gram for gram, Umami Matcha has 13X the antioxidant power of pomegranate and over 50X the antioxidants in spinach.
MATCHA AND BRAIN HEALTH
Studies have investigated the potential benefits of green tea on brain issues, such as memory, attention, and risk for cognitive decline and dementia.
These studies suggest benefits in memory and cognition for people both with and without cognitive problems:
MATCHA INCREASES METABOLISM AND PROMOTES WEIGHT LOSS
Matcha is an important tool for weight loss that works safely and effectively in multiple ways.
Matcha increases metabolism, suppresses appetite, reduces fat storage, and kills off old fat cells by creating an increase in energy expenditure (a measure of metabolism), combined with a significant effect on fat oxidation (7)(8).
Matcha’s chief antioxidant, EGCG, increases thermogenesis (the body’s rate of burning calories) by about 30% (3)(8) and kills off hard to get rid of, old resistant fat cells (9).
MONKS AND MEDITATION: FINDING CALM ENERGY AND FOCUS IN A CUP OF MATCHA
For nearly a thousand years, the power of matcha has been known to Zen Buddhist monks who drink it during meditation to stimulate mental alertness while at the same time creating a calm, meditative state.
We now know that this is due to the abundance of the amino acid L-Theanine in matcha. L-Theanine reduces anxiety and stress as well as increasing alpha waves in the brain which are responsible for relaxed, calm alertness, while improving concentration, memory and focus (10).
Due to the synergistic effect of caffeine and L-theanine, Matcha provides up to 6 hours of sustained energy, concentration, memory and focus without the spike and consequent crash normally associated with caffeine. This makes matcha the perfect coffee alternative and 100% natural energy drink providing sustained, focused, natural energy without the extra caffeine, sugar or other additives (11).

Filed Under Alcohol
Jasmine Lew discovered an important cause of breast cancer for post-menopausal women. Lew conducts research for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and examined data collected from 200,000 women participating in a study that was launched in 1995.
Researchers were interested in the women’s diet including alcohol consumption. It was clear that alcohol increased the risk of breast cancer, and specifically for, “estrogen/progesterone receptor positive tumors.” Voice of America. The more alcohol a post-menopausal woman consumes the higher they increase their risk of breast cancer. Three servings of alcohol per day increase the risk of cancer by 51%.
Lew will be publishing her findings in greater detail, but she has presented her findings to the Academy of Cancer Research at their annual meeting. | medical |

This position reflects my thinking on the best option for dealing with recurring outbreaks of measles and other previously eradicated or near-eradicated childhood infectious diseases in Canada.
I offered the following five reasons in support of this position:
1. Mandatory immunization, whether in the form of compulsory infantile vaccination or (as is currently the norm), requiring school pupils to provide proof of immunization prior to school enrollment, has been shown to be the most effective means of achieving widespread coverage of the population.
2. Pre- and post-Charter jurisprudence, and decisions by courts in other jurisdictions such as the U.K. and U.S. indicate that mandatory immunization strategies are a legally valid impairment of individual rights for the sake of protecting public health. Read this, this and this for more on this point.
3. The rate of adverse events arising from immunization for most childhood infectious diseases is very low or non-existent, and most cases involve minor side-effects.
4. Provinces without mandatory policies jeopardize gains in provinces with mandatory policies (presently Ontario and New Brunswick).
5. Enacting mandatory policies creates a positive obligation (on the part of the provincial governments) to address vaccine injuries. Except for Quebec, Canada and Russia are the only two G8 countries without a vaccine injury compensation scheme.
I will expand on these points in a forthcoming paper. Meanwhile, thoughts, comments, criticisms and objections are welcomed. | medical |

The spur, visible by X-ray, appears as a protrusion that can extend forward as much as half an
inch. When there is no indication of bone enlargement, the condition is sometimes referred to as ?heel spur syndrome.?
Heel spurs result from strain on the muscles and ligaments of the foot, by stretching of the long band of tissue that connects the heel and the ball of the foot, and by repeated tearing away of the
lining or membrane that covers the heel bone. These conditions may result from biomechanical imbalance, running or jogging, improperly fitted or excessively worn shoes, or obesity. Heel spurs
specifically relate to the bony spurs (extra bony growth) that form at the base of the heel. It is a ?spike? of bone that grows from the base of the heel.
The plantar fascia is a big strong ligament on the bottom of the foot, starting at the bottom of the heel bone and running into the ball of the foot. As the arch of the foot becomes weak, it sags
slightly with each step and this causes the plantar fascia to tug and pull at the heel bone with each step. Over a period of time, a spur forms where this big strong ligament tugs and pulls at the
heel bone. Soon, inflammation (swelling) starts around this spur and the pain becomes almost unbearable. (Sometimes heel spurs may be present without being painful if no inflammation is
Most of the time heel spurs present as pain in the region surrounding the spur, which typically increases in intensity after prolonged periods of rest. Patients may not be able to bear weight on the
afflicted heel comfortably. Running, walking, or lifting heavy weight may exacerbate the issue.
The diagnosis of heel pain and heel spurs is made by a through history of the course of the condition and by physical exam. Weight bearing x-rays are useful in determining if a heel spur is present
and to rule out rare causes of heel pain such as a stress fracture of the heel bone, the presence of bone tumors or evidence of soft tissue damage caused by certain connective tissue disorders.
Non Surgical Treatment
Heel spurs can be treated by wearing orthotic insoles inside the shoe. Orthotics are designed to correct incorrect gait, in particular over-pronation (rolling in of the foot and collapsing of the
arches). Over-pronation is a very common foot condition, affecting at least half of the population. It is a major contributing cause of heel spurs. Orthotics are very effective in that the device
corrects the foot to its natural position. By supporting the arches properly and preventing excess rolling in of the foot, the plantar fascia is placed under much less strain and stress compared to
an unsupported foot. Less strain on the ligament means less pulling away from the heel bone, allowing the inflammation to heal faster. In addition to orthotic treatment, most podiatrists and
physiotherapists recommend a series of exercises to help make the ligaments in the feet and legs longer and more flexible. In turn this will help reduce strain on the plantar fascia.
More than 90 percent of people get better with nonsurgical treatments. If conservative treatment fails to treat symptoms of heel spurs after a period of 9 to 12 months, surgery may be necessary to
relieve pain and restore mobility. Surgical techniques include release of the plantar fascia, removal of a spur. Pre-surgical tests or exams are required to identify optimal candidates, and it's
important to observe post-surgical recommendations concerning rest, ice, compression, elevation of the foot, and when to place weight on the operated foot. In some cases, it may be necessary for
patients to use bandages, splints, casts, surgical shoes, crutches, or canes after surgery. Possible complications of heel surgery include nerve pain, recurrent heel pain, permanent numbness of the
area, infection, and scarring. In addition, with plantar fascia release, there is risk of instability, foot cramps, stress fracture, and tendinitis. | medical |

Background: SARS-CoV-2 can affect the human brain and other neurological structures. An increasing number of publications report neurological manifestations in patients with COVID-19. However, no studies have comprehensively reviewed the clinical and paraclinical characteristics of the central and peripheral nervous system's involvement in these patients. This study aimed to describe the features of the central and peripheral nervous system involvement by COVID-19 in terms of pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, neuropathology, neuroimaging, electrophysiology, and cerebrospinal fluid findings. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive systematic review of all the original studies reporting patients with neurological involvement by COVID-19, from December 2019 to June 2020, without language restriction. We excluded studies with animal subjects, studies not related to the nervous system, and opinion articles. Data analysis combined descriptive measures, frequency measures, central tendency measures, and dispersion measures for all studies reporting neurological conditions and abnormal ancillary tests in patients with confirmed COVID-19. Results: A total of 143 observational and descriptive studies reported central and peripheral nervous system involvement by COVID-19 in 10723 patients. Fifty-one studies described pathophysiologic mechanisms of neurological involvement by COVID-19, 119 focused on clinical manifestations, 4 described neuropathology findings, 62 described neuroimaging findings, 28 electrophysiology findings, and 60 studies reported cerebrospinal fluid results. The reviewed studies reflect a significant prevalence of the nervous system's involvement in patients with COVID-19, ranging from 22.5% to 36.4% among different studies, without mortality rates explicitly associated with neurological involvement by SARS-COV-2. We thoroughly describe the clinical and paraclinical characteristics of neurological involvement in these patients. Conclusions: Our evidence synthesis led to a categorical analysis of the central and peripheral involvement by COVID-19 and provided a comprehensive explanation of the reported pathophysiological mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 infection may cause neurological impairment. International collaborative efforts and exhaustive neurological registries will enhance the translational knowledge of COVID-19's CNS and PNS involvement and generate strategies for therapeutic decision-making.

There are effects of sugar in all of its forms and people consume more of it in this age. Sugar and health issues are very crucial in our modern world.
Here are some of its effects:
Overloads and damages your liver
The problems of too much fructose can be likened to the effects of alcohol. All the fructose you eat gets transported to the only organ that has the transporter for it, your liver. This brutally taxes and overloads the organ, leading to potential liver damage.
Affects insulin and leptin
It deceits your body into gaining weight and upsets your insulin and leptin signalling. Fructose fools your metabolism by turning off your body’s appetite-control system. It fails to stimulate insulin, which in turn fails to suppress ghrelin, or “the hunger hormone,” which then fails to stimulate leptin or “the satiety hormone.” This causes you to eat more and develop insulin resistance.
Eating too much sugar causes a bank of symptoms known as classic metabolic syndrome. These include weight gain, abdominal obesity, decreased HDL and increased LDL, elevated blood sugar, elevated triglycerides, and high blood pressure.
Affects uric acid levels
High uric acid levels are a risk cause for heart and kidney disease. In fact, the connection between fructose, metabolic syndrome, and your uric acid is now so clear that your uric acid level can now be used as an indicator for fructose toxicity.

There are dozens of prescription medications like Tramadol that are ingested for several reasons. Anxiety, pain relief, depression – the list continues. In case you do not want to endure the sensations of pain for long without going to the drug store, Tramadol And Alcohal.
Though alcohol is consumed for several reasons, and in spite of the risks involved, may individuals dangerously consume it while undergoing treatment with this drug. As is the case with taking any substance, be it alcohol or medicine, it is always mandatory to do so responsibly and in the exact manner as prescribed.
What is Tramadol?
This drug is a synthetic prescription medication that is employed in the treatment of various intensities of pain owing to its production of effects similar to the one produced by morphine in your body. Tramadol, an opioid drug had been introduced in the mid-90s in the United States. Presently, thousands of prescriptions are written for this medicine every year. Some individuals may be directed to ingest it as and when required for the treatment of pain, as you would do with an ibuprofen. Other individuals may be prescribed to take this medicine on a regular basis for lasting pain, for instance fibromyalgia or chronic back pain.
As is the case with other opioid medicines, this drug also comes with addictive properties. It may also lead to the occurrence of several side effects similar to other opioid drugs. Tramadol misuse or taking it in combination with other substances may result in contracting a number of health problems. Keeping this mind, it becomes mandatory to take this drug only on the prescription of a qualified medical practitioner and in the exact manner as prescribed. Buy Tramadol Tablets if you want to deal effectively with moderate to moderately severe pain.
What are the side effects associated with the use of Alcohol and Tramadol?
Most of the drugs have a potential for some side effects, especially when misused. Tramadol is no exception to it. Due to its potentially habit-forming properties, this opioid drug is listed as a controlled substance in the United States that may affect both your brain and your body. The effects of ingesting Tramadol Pain Pills are comparable to those of alcohol consumption but the manner in which these substances affect one individual may differ from the manner they affect another. That is why it is advisable to be responsible, smart and follow the instructions of the doctor very carefully. Otherwise, probably severe, even dangerous side effects may result.
The below-mentioned signs are some of the short-term as well as the long-term effects of abusing Alcohol and Tramadol.
What are the symptoms of Alcohol abuse?
- High blood pressure
- Memory loss
- Mood swings
- Blacking out
What are the symptoms of Tramadol abuse?
- Irregular or slowed heart rate
- Slowed breathing
- Cognitive decline
What are the dangers of mixing Tramadol and Alcohol?
There are several reasons that anyone would take alcohol in consumption with medicines. In the case of an individual with a serious mental disorder, for instance depression, a medicine may be prescribed as an antidepressant. The same individual may also view alcohol as an antidepressant that may result in the false impression that combining the two substances will somehow increase their antidepressant effects. Though, in reality, the opposite is true. Another reason can be that if you have developed addiction to this drug, it becomes easy to either misuse or get addicted to alcohol, in spite of the potentially known risks. Buy Tramadol Online to ease the symptoms of pain while staying indoors.
The following are few of the risks of taking Tramadol in conjunction with alcohol:
- Both these substances are central nervous system depressants which imply that they may slow down brain function when taken in combination.
- Considering all the points, the combination of Alcohol and Tramadol may lead to numerous health issues, some of which may be dangerous.
- Combining alcohol with Tramadol may raise your chances of overdosing on either substance.
- Furthermore, taking Tramadol in conjunction with alcohol may also enhance depression, which may result in suicidal thoughts.
What are the withdrawal symptoms associated with Tramadol use?
Unpleasant withdrawal symptoms related with the regular use of tramadol for extended period of time may include the following:
- Numb extremities
- Gastrointestinal and abdominal pain and problems
- Being agitated
- Ringing in the ears
When an individual is taking this drug for a long period of time they may require addiction treatment, similar to a person with an opioid dependence would need. This frequently requires a detox program under strict medical supervision which is followed by intensive therapeutic programs.
In case you notice any of the above mentioned symptoms in an individual who is undoing treatment with Tramadol Pills, it becomes mandatory to get in touch immediately with an addiction treatment facility or a licensed medical professional to come up with possible options and next steps that may be taken. | medical |
https://hawkscanner.com/fda-seizes-1-3m-worth-of-kratom/ | 2022-11-28T19:13:31 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446710534.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20221128171516-20221128201516-00096.warc.gz | 0.931804 | 762 | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2022-49__0__222206568 | en | The FDA seizes $1.3M worth of Kratom included in dietary supplements alongside bulk dietary ingredients also containing Kratom. The Food and Drugs Administration’s announcement that U.S. Marshals seized dietary supplements containing kratom ignited a war of words on Twitter between former high-ranking government officials.
Federal authorities recently seized dietary supplements and bulk dietary ingredients containing kratom over continuing concerns that the products pose risks to public health.
The seized products are worth roughly $1.3 million and the subject of a lawsuit filed in Florida by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), according to an FDA news release. U.S. marshals at FDA’s request seized more than 207,000 units of dietary supplements and bulk dietary ingredients that are or contain kratom, including more than 34,000 kilograms of bulk kratom, FDA announced.
Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a former commissioner of FDA who resigned in 2019, said in a tweet that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) prevented FDA “from moving forward with the scheduling of kratom, and I’m convinced it’s fueling the opioid addiction crisis.”
In a 2018 letter made public earlier this year, HHS rescinded a request for DEA to classify two constituents of kratom as a Schedule I controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).
“The Biden Administration should follow through on efforts of FDA, NIH [National Institutes of Health] and DEA—and the new ASH [assistant secretary of health] should affirm health findings of these agencies,” Gottlieb said.
Kratom advocates maintain FDA has an inherent bias against the botanical not grounded in science.
Many users of kratom have maintained it helped them wean off heroin and other opioids. FDA, on the other hand, has continued to raised safety concerns over the botanical and previously asserted it could be exacerbating the opioid epidemic. According to DOJ’s lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court in the Middle District of Florida, kratom’s major alkaloid—mitragynine—produces effects similar to morphine.
The seized products are made by Atofil LLC of Fort Myers, Florida, a subsidiary of Premier Manufacturing Products, which did not immediately respond to requests for comment for this article. FDA said the dietary supplements are marketed under the brand names Boosted Kratom, The Devil’s Kratom, Terra Kratom, Sembuh, Bio Botanical and El Diablo.
DOJ alleged in an amended complaint that defendant’s articles are “adulterated” because “they contain or are a new dietary ingredient [NDI], kratom, for which there is inadequate information to provide reasonable assurance that this ingredient does not present a significant or unreasonable risk of illness or injury.”
According to FDA, consumption of kratom can lead to such effects as constipation, nervousness, respiratory depression, vomiting and weight loss. “Kratom has been indicated to have both narcotic and stimulant-like effects, and withdrawal symptoms may include hostility, aggression, excessive tearing, aching of muscles and bones and jerky limb movements,” FDA cautioned in its news release.

What is PRP Therapy?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy begins with a natural product of your own body: the blood. Although blood is mainly a liquid (called plasma), it also contains small solid components (red cells, white cells, and platelets.) The platelets are best known for their importance in clotting blood, but they also contain hundreds of proteins called growth factors which are very important in the healing of injuries and rejuvenation of cells.
Platelets are the cells in the blood that help tissue to heal and grow new cells. After withdrawing blood from your own body, we divide the red and white blood cells from the platelets and the plasma. This plasma now contains a higher-than-normal number of platelets, and is called Platelet-Rich-Plasma (PRP).
During a PRP therapy procedure, the PRP is injected into specific areas of the skin. It acts as a matrix that promotes your own collagen to grow, regenerates tissue, and thus naturally smooths and tightens the skin. In this way, PRP softens wrinkles and creating smoother skin texture and tone.
PRP Therapy Treatment For Your Face
Are you facing dark circles and puffiness under your eyes?
Do you see fine lines and sagging around your mouth, cheeks, and eyes?
Does your skin seem less bright, healthy, and firm than it used to be?
Then PRP therapy may be the perfect treatment for you!
PRP Therapy Treatment For Hair
PRP therapy has become very popular for hair treatment. At our clinic in Greater Noida, we have been performing PRP therapy for male and female patients experiencing hair loss. PRP is an exciting non-surgical therapeutic option for patients who require stimulation of hair growth for hair loss conditions. It can stimulate hair growth and make it beautiful again!
Benefits of PRP Therapy
1. Stimulate hair growth
2. Reduce crinkling skin around the eyes
3. Rejuvenate skin around the neck
4. Rejuvenate cheeks and mid-face
5. Helps sports injuries and joint pain
Other Injected Therapy Treatments
Dr. Nijjar also provides other injected therapies to treat the look of fine lines and aging!
Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin
Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are all used to counteract the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
They are a purified form of botulinum toxin A, (meaning there's no botulism risk when used properly).
They work by blocking the nerves that contract muscles, softening the appearance of wrinkles.
Botox works well in-between the eyebrows, across the forehead, in the Crow's Feet area around the eyes, and around the mouth to soften and reduce unwanted lines and wrinkles.
Dermal fillers can be used to fix a variety of concerns related to facial aging, including:
Adding volume and smoothing out the deep creases that run from the nose to the mouth (called nasolabial folds or laugh lines)
Plumping thin lips and smoothing out vertical lines around the edges of the lips
Augmenting cheeks to enhance their shape, often restoring youthful fullness
Filling out hollows under the eye area.
Evening the look of indented scars from acne or chicken pox
Increasing volume to fill out gauntness in the lower cheek or temple area, which most often occurs due to fat pads shifting beneath the surface of skin
Fillers add volume to shape the cheeks, chin, jaw line as well as fill in folds in laugh and marionette lines.
All prices will be customized to density, texture, and length.
Prices vary between stylists based on experience.

All Resins are Delivered in
Glass Mason Jars!
Locals of Moomy city on Socotra island use the Dracaena resin as a sort of cure-all, using it for such things as general wound healing, a coagulant (though this is ill-advised with commercial products, as the Daemonorops species acts as an anti-coagulant and it is usually unknown what species the dragon's blood came from), curing diarrhea, lowering fevers, dysentery diseases, taken internally for ulcers in the mouth, throat, intestines and stomach, as well as an antiviral for respiratory viruses, stomach viruses and for skin disorders such as eczema. Thaspine from the Dragon's Blood of the species Croton lechleri has possible use as a cancer drug.
Dragon's blood of both Dracaena draco (commonly referred to as the Draconis Palm) and Dracaena cinnabari were used commercially as a source of varnish for 18th century Italian violinmakers. There was also an 18th-century recipe for toothpaste that contained dragon's blood. In modern times it is still used as a varnish for violins, in photoengraving, as an incense resin, and as a body oil.
In American Hoodoo, African-American folk magic, and New Orleans voodoo, it is used in mojo hands for money-drawing or love-drawing, and is used as incense to cleanse a space of negative entities or influences. It is also added to red ink to make "Dragon's Blood Ink", which is used to inscribe magical seals and talismans. It was also used in medieval ritual magic and alchemy.
In folk medicine, dragon's blood is used externally as a wash to promote healing of wounds and to stop bleeding. It is used internally for chest pains, post-partum bleeding, internal traumas and menstrual irregularities.
In neopagan Witchcraft, it is used to increase the potency of spells for protection, love, banishing and sexuality. In New Age shamanism it is used in ceremonies in a similar way as the neopagans use it. | medical |

A person in a qualifying relationship with the pregnant employee is entitled to unpaid time off work to accompany the expectant mother to two antenatal appointments.
Antenatal care is not restricted to medical examinations. It could, for example, include relaxation classes and parentcraft classes as long as these are advised by a registered medical practitioner, registered midwife or registered health visitor.
The employer is entitled to ask for evidence of antenatal appointments, except in the case of the very first appointment. With the exception of this first antenatal appointment, the employee must show her employer on request:
- a certificate confirming that she is pregnant. This can be provided by a registered medical practitioner (e.g. a doctor), a registered midwife or a registered health visitor;
- an appointment card or some other document showing that an appointment has been made.
The employee should be paid at her normal hourly rate of pay by her employer during the period of time off for antenatal care.
Time off to accompany to antenatal appointments
A person in a qualifying relationship with the pregnant woman or her expected child can take unpaid time off work to accompany the expectant mother to two antenatal appointments. The following applies:
- the time off is capped at six-and-a-half hours for each appointment;
- there is no qualifying period for entitlement to this right;
- the right applies to employees and to agency workers.
A “qualifying relationship” includes:
- the spouse or civil partner of the pregnant woman;
- a person who lives with the pregnant woman in an enduring family relationship (including same-sex couples); and
- the father of the expected child.
The right applies whether the child is conceived naturally or through donor insemination.
It also extends to those who will become parents through a surrogacy arrangement if they expect to satisfy the conditions for and plan to apply for a Parental Order (or have obtained such an Order) for the child born through that arrangement. | medical |

A seizure is a medical emergency. A Seizure Action Plan (SAP) contains tailored guidelines on how to respond during a seizure, based on the patient’s medical history. It includes health and medical information specific to the patient and helps others recognize seizures and the appropriate steps to take to keep him or her safe from injury or damage caused by prolonged seizures.
Approximately 30% of patients diagnosed with epilepsy have refractory or treatment-resistant epilepsy which means available medications and devices are unable to bring the seizures under control. Many patients with refractory epilepsy may experience prolonged seizures (status epilepticus) and/or seizure clusters, which may need to be stopped with emergency intervention.
A Seizure Action Plan (SAP) is important because seizures can be life-threatening. Having a SAP lets others know what to do in an emergency situation. A SAP can reduce the time to action during a seizure and faster response times can reduce risk of prolonged seizures, risk of mortality, and the need for additional rescue medications [1-4].

Similarly to every other infertility diagnosis, the answer to what causes miscarriages is hardly ever a simple, clearly determined, single cause-effect relationship.
The Heather’s Gift E-book is a great example of the many case histories of women I worked with whose miscarriages continued to be a mystery even after they were treated for the most common miscarriage related imbalances listed below. (Sign up for the FertileHeart newsletter to receive your free copy of Heather’s Gift.)
The stories of the women featured in the Fertility Success Stories Video are other great examples of the Fertile Heart™ multi-layered approach to decoding the mystery of recurrent miscarriages.
In other words, although there are commonalities that underlie the challenge of miscarriages each person’s constitution and history are unique and so is the path that leads to healing.
The most common medically determined underlying causes of miscarriages:
- Underactive thyroid
- The presence of antiphospholipid-antibodies is another common answer to the causes of miscarriages although this answer has been highly controversial with little solid research.
- The presence of infections—generally treated with a course of antibiotics (See interview with Dr. Sami David in the What to Expect from a Fertility Expert e-book where he offers his view on the poor diagnostic practice and treatment of infections in general in the reproductive health arena.)
- MTHFR gene mutation – This gene mutation linked to miscarriage and implantation issues can be easily diagnosed through testing. Women who test positive for MTHFR cannot process a synthetic form of folic acid. This is one of the first diagnostic tests administered to women with recurrent miscarriages. The problem is easily remedied with methyl B12, methyl-folate and other supplements. A gentle weekly detox regimen will help with any toxic build up of unprocessed synthetic folic acid. Be sure to work with a knowledgeable integrative physician or healthcare provider before supplementing, as some people do not tolerate higher doses of folate. (The MTHFR issue is also briefly addressed by miscarriage specialist Jonathan Scherr in the What to Expect from a Fertility Expert E-book.)
- Chromosomal abnormalities linked to age are another answer my clients often receive to the question of what causes miscarriages. As I see it, the answer of poor egg quality is often used when the health provider can’t come up with a more solid reason for the miscarriage. Increasing one’s overall level of health can help you win the statistics game, several sequences on the Fertile Heart Imagery CDs are intended to reverse the damaging effects of the “collective panic of the last good egg and the self-serving ageist approach of the Infertility Industrial Complex.”
- Nutritional deficiencies are often linked to reasons for miscarriages—Fertility Foods, and Fertility Supplements can be an effective solution to correcting nutritional deficiencies that might be one of the causes of miscarriage. (See article on Supplementation linking miscarriage prevention with supplementation.)
- Poor sperm quality—a very common, often hidden, answer to what causes miscarriages—also responds to fertility supplements, fertility foods and inner-conflict resolution. Studies indicate than when sperm quality goes up, miscarriage rates go down.
- Fibroids—depending on the size and placement of the fibroid they may interfere with implantation, and be one of the causes of miscarriage. (Foods and Herbs that may help shrink fibroids naturally.)
- Unacknowledged conflict between partners, inner conflicts about pregnancy and motherhood are on the emotional level some of the most common answers to the “what causes miscarriages” question. Miscarriages and fertility woes can wreak havoc on a marriage and of course they can also show you what the marriage is made of. (Fertile Couplehood blog on the Fertile Heart Approach to the Passion of Baby Making.)
Several imagery exercises on the Fertile Heart Imagery CD and Fertile Heart Imagery 2 are specific miscarriage related remedies, which have been instrumental in healing the pain of miscarriages, and identifying the causes of miscarriage on the emotional level and leading to full term pregnancies and healthy babies.

The severe case of the flue have many parents wondering how long they should wait to take their children to the doctor when they are sick.
Dr. Keith Campbell at Memorial Urgent Care in Bakersfield said there are specific symptoms to look for when deciding if your child needs medical attention.
"If your child is having a hard time breathing, if they are not acting right or have changes in their level of consciousness or the way they are acting toward you."
Another red flag to look out for is a high fever.
"It's common to have a fever with a viral illness and it's important to realize that those who have a low fever, a runny nose and a cough can maybe be treated at home," Dr. Campbell said.
Doctors said if your child has a high fever that lasts more than two or three days, you should seek medical attention immediately and stay home from school for 24 hours after the fever is gone. | medical |

Medical device companies generally opt for product clearance studies for one or more markets wherein freedom to operate patent search is required to ensure the medical devices do not infringe upon the existing patents in such markets. To conduct freedom to operate patent search, or a FTO search, patent attorneys give equal consideration to granted patents and published patent applications, which may be granted at later date. Such FTO studies can help medical device companies in evaluating possible patent infringement scenarios by performing patent claim mapping.
Medical Devices in India
Medical devices regulations in India are about to undergo a radical transformation with effect from January 1, 2018. This is the date on which Medical Devices Rules 2017 will be notified, wherein various crucial provisions are stated, including definition of medical devices. This is a major change as compared to earlier regulations, wherein medical devices were covered under the pharmaceutical regulations, i.e. Drugs and Cosmetics Act. With the proposed notification of the new Medical Devices Rules 2017, the government has attempted to distinguish medical devices from pharmaceuticals.
As per the proposed medical devices regulations in India, the definition of medical devices includes any instrument, apparatus, appliance, implant, material or other article, whether used alone or in combination, including the software, intended by its manufacturer to be used specially for human beings or animals for one or more of the specific purposes of, –
(i) diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment or alleviation of any disease or disorder;
(ii) diagnosis, monitoring, treatment, alleviation or assistance for, any injury or disability;
(iii) investigation, replacement or modification or support of the anatomy or of a physiological process;
(iv) supporting or sustaining life;
(v) disinfection of medical devices;
(vi) control of conception;
which does not achieve the primary intended action in or on the human body or animals by any pharmacological or immunological or metabolic means, but which may be assisted in its intended function by such means, and covered under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 (“D&C Act”).
Medical Devices Approval in India
In accordance with the proposed medical devices rules, the government of India has proposed single window clearance for approval of medical devices in India, including, medical device applications for import, manufacture, sale or distribution and clinical investigation, whether to be assessed by the DCGI or State licensing authority. It has been proposed that all such regulatory applications for medical devices will have to be made through a single online portal of the central government, wherein the details of the portal are yet to be notified.
Medical Device Patents
Medical devices and processes can be covered under medical device IP (intellectual property) law, whereby inventors, medical device companies, medical device startups, medical device incubators and venture capitalists protect the innovations by way of patents. Such innovations cover medical devices and corresponding processes across a diverse range of categories, including, cardiovascular, dental, diabetes, neurovascular, ENT, gastrointestinal, imaging, ophthalmic, prosthetics, orthopedics, diagnostics, dermatology, infusion pumps, embolic protection, dialysis, nephrology, robotics, oncology, ventilators, surgical equipment and medical technology applications capable of being executed via smartphone and handheld devices.
Medical Device Patent Services
Patent attorneys in the field of medical devices assist clients with multiple services, including patent prior art searches, patent landscape reports, state of art patent search, patent due diligence, patent licensing agreements, FTO (freedom to operate) patent search, patent assignment agreements, patent drafting, patent prosecution, PCT patent filings (national phase and international phase), patent audit and technology licensing (in-licensing and out-licensing).
Medical Device Patents – Drafting Patent Claims and Writing Patent Applications
Patent attorneys with expertise in writing medical device patents tend to draft patent claims covering both the medical devices and methods of medical treatment. However, such patent drafting practice varies for each jurisdiction as in US and Australia, medical treatment methods can be patented whereas in China, Europe and Japan, such medical treatment patent claims are not allowed.

Proscar is indicated for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia symptoms. It helps prevent urologic symptoms which are associated with risks of urinary retention.
Proscar is effective in the facilitating of the symptoms, reduces the risks of acute urinary retention, risks of surgery such as prostate resection, prostatectomy.
The medicine causes regression of the growing prostate, improves urinary flow and the symptoms which enlarged prostate causes.
The recommended dosage of Proscar for all men with prostate enlargement is one 5 mg tablet once a day. The consumption of food is possible. Sometimes Proscar is used together with other medicines.
The effects of the treatment are usually seen after the 4-6 weeks of treatment. The response of a patient can be individual and should be evaluated by a caring doctor. Sometimes, special tests are needed to estimate the results.
Contraindications for Proscar are:
Use in women and children;
Use in men who are hypersensitive to finasteride;
Use in men who have allergies to finasteride and similar drugs;
Use in men who have acute or severe problems with bladder, kidneys, liver.
No clinically important drug interactions have been identified with finasteride. This means that the medicine can be mixed with other commonly used medicine. Still, before the treatment and during the treatment with finasteride, it is necessary to inform a doctor about any other medicine use.
The medicine has no potential to affect ability to perform tasks which demand alertness such as driving or operating machinery.
It is recommended to avoid drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes during the treatment with finasteride.
Side effects are usually not observed by most men. The dose of the medicine is very low to produce any unpleasant side effects. Still some men can suffer from deterioration of existing sexual health issues like impotence or premature ejaculation. Some men complain about decreased libido which they associated with the course of finasteride.
To the other effects of finasteride the growth of the hair can be added. It is known that finasteride is used as a treatment of male pattern baldness. So, with its main purpose the medicine can produce the growth of hair which can be seen after several months of the treatment.
Symptoms of enlarged prostate are not always related directly to the size of the gland itself. The actual process of enlargement of prostate can produce no symptoms.
In some men, however, the symptoms can develop and worsen slowly and gradually until they really have great troubles with urination. Others never develop serious problems.
The treatment for prostate symptoms should be discussed with a doctor and started under control of a caring doctor. Self-treatment can lead to serious health consequences and problems. Do not self-treat or wait until the symptoms get really worse. Visit your doctor as soon as you start observing any difficulty with urination or sudden need to urinate or any other problems. | medical |

- Christoph Strasser (mehrmaliger Gewinner des RAAM) 2012 -
An dieser Stelle möchte ich Ihnen gerne einen kurzen Einblick in meine Masterthesis der klin. Psychoneuroimmunologie mit dem Thema “Exercise and Immunosuppression” ermöglichen.
Effects of additional supplementation on immune parameters in a 6 h – long term ergometer stress test. Master Thesis in Clinical Psychoneuroimmunology 2012
Prolonged, exhaustive exercise is often related to immunosuppression associated with upper respiratory tract infections influencing exercise performance.
An understanding in pathophysiology and treatment strategies remains elusive.
Additional supplementation support is commonly used among athletes and coaches are furthermore confronted with the symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections.
The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of additional supplementation as complementary support to keep high performance athletes in peak physical condition while maintaining their immune health.
One endurance trained cyclist born in 1982 was recruited to participate in this single case study. The subject was a competitor in “The Race Across America” (RAAM) and in peak physical condition and he has also been experienced immunosuppression related to URTI.
A single case study was used. The experimental design was constructed as a 6 hour long-term ergometer stress test on the threshold of LTP 1. The first test was carried out without any supplementation except for carbohydrates. The intervention consisted of an additional supplementation strategy adapted to, perhaps, the individual need of the athlete.
A significant decrease of the primary outcome measure CRP-value could be reported by the end of the second treatment phase compared to the baseline phase (50%). The results of the secondary outcome measure showed changes in the T cell lines and their subpopulations insofar that the cell subsets (T8 cell counts, CD4+TL cell counts, CD4+CD8 ratio, T cell counts and NK CD8 57+ cell counts) remained roughly stable in the bloodstream.
The present study shows a significant change in the common inflammation marker, CRP, and in domains of T cell subsets indicating that additional substrate use can be an acceptable tool in the support of athletes experiencing exercise-induced immunosuppression. Nevertheless, more research is needed to understand the intricate connection between exercise, immunosuppression and energy regulation strategies.

Our bodies, drowned in a sea of electromagnetic radiation from the devices we are inseparable from, are increasingly falling out of sync with nature’s rhythms. This disruption can lead to fatigue, insomnia, and overall poor health. Enter Soundcube, a revolutionary vibrational speaker designed not just to play music, but to enhance your well-being.
Understanding the Problem:
Every day, our bodies endure a barrage of invisible waves produced by our mobile phones, laptops, Wi-Fi, and other wireless technologies. This constant exposure to electromagnetic radiation throws our bodies’ natural frequencies out of balance, leading to a host of health issues including sleep disturbances, chronic stress, and more.
While this modern dilemma may seem inescapable, the solution lies in aligning ourselves once again with the earth’s natural frequencies, a concept known as brain wave entrainment or frequency following response.
The Science of Sound and Vibration Therapy:
Sound and vibration therapy is a scientifically proven method to harmonize our bodies with the earth’s frequencies, thereby promoting optimal health and wellness. The therapy works on the principle of entrainment, the synchronization of our body’s internal rhythms with the frequencies of external sound and vibration.
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy and Binaural brain wave entrainment are key components of sound and vibration therapy. By using low-frequency sound waves, they stimulate the body’s natural healing capabilities, reducing cortisol (the stress hormone) levels and boosting endorphins, our body’s natural painkillers and mood elevators.
Introducing Soundcube – Your Solution to Enhanced Well-being:
At the intersection of science and wellness technology, we introduce Soundcube, a state-of-the-art vibrational speaker designed to promote deep relaxation, better sleep, and improved overall well-being. By combining the principles of sound and vibration therapy with cutting-edge technology, Soundcube provides a therapeutic experience that balances your body’s bio-rhythms, helping you rest, restore, and regenerate.
Experience the magic of low-frequency vibrations and sound waves with Soundcube, as it leads your body into a state of deep relaxation and healing. With every use, you’ll find yourself feeling more revitalised and in harmony with the world around you.
How Does Soundcube Work?
Soundcube uses PEMF and Binaural brain wave entrainment technologies to deliver a relaxing and immersive experience. The low-frequency vibrations from the speaker sync with your body’s natural rhythms, entraining your brain waves and heart rate to align with the soothing rhythm of the Soundcube.
In this age of chronic stress and relentless exposure to electromagnetic radiation, Soundcube offers an effective, science-backed solution to restore balance and promote well-being. Experience the restorative power of sound and vibration therapy and take the first step towards a healthier, happier life with Soundcube. Realign your bio-rhythms, restore your vitality, and regain your peace of mind. | medical |

What Is The Huge difference?When there is no hope of ultimate recovery, a Living Will is a legal file attending to only deathbed factors to consider; a client unilaterally declares his/her desire that life-prolonging measures be terminated.
On the other hand, individuals utilize a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care to appoint somebody to make all health care decisions, limited by particular elections relating to deathbed concerns.
The client should be at least 18 years old and psychologically skilled at the time he or she carries out either file but unskilled to take part in the decision-making process when either is executed. It is essential to bear in mind that both files are just applicable if the customer mishandles.
Under the a Living Will, a customer states that if he or she is licensed to have an incurable, terminal injury/illness and/or to be permanently unconscious by 2 analyzing physicians (including the client's attending doctor), that artificial life-support systems be withheld or disconnected. The customer may also choose to cease artificial nutrition and hydration (intravenous feeding) by so designating on the type. (Find more info at: legalhelper.net/living-will.aspx).
Under the Health Care Power of Attorney, the client makes three different and independent elections authorizing the agent:.
1. To direct disconnection of synthetic life-support systems in case of terminal health problem;.
2. To direct disconnection of synthetic life-support systems in the occasion of permanent coma; and.
3. To direct discontinuation of synthetic nutrition and hydration.
In addition, the Health Care Power of Attorney type offers a space for the customer to set forth any specific medical, religious or other desires concerning his/her health care. The client may also use this section as a backup source for organ donation. (Find more details at: legalhelper.net/power-of-attorney.aspx).
Both documents are signed in front of 2 witnesses and a notary public or a justice of the peace who acknowledges the client's signature. The witnesses to a Living Will are sworn by the notary public/justice of the peace and suggest that the client is at least 18 years of age and signed the instrument as a complimentary and voluntary act.
The Living Will witnesses may not be the client's spouse, participating in doctor, heirs-at-law or individual with claims versus the customer's estate.
The Health Care Power of Attorney witnesses might not be the designated representative, the partner, beneficiary or client or person entitled to any part of the client's estate upon death under Will, Trust or operation of law.
my site Individuals are often confused as to why both a Living Will and Health Care Power of Attorney are required or proper . The Living Will is useful as a backup document: In the event that the customer goes into an irreversible coma and the healthcare agents designated in the Health Care Power of Attorney are departed or unloadable , the Living Will state the desires of the client worrying his/her death-bed treatment which may be followed by participating in doctors. The law supplies that to the degree that a Durable Power of Attorney disputes with a Living Will, the Health Care Power of Attorney controls. Copies of both the Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care and the Living Will are forwarded to the client's medical care doctor for addition in medical records.
Both documents are revocable through typical cancellation treatments.
Keep in mind that LegalHelper.net supplies an user friendly, quick, and affordable online method for developing finished legal documents for any events.

Episode Summary Re-cap
Find out what to know about whether or not to vaccinate and how to heal if you’ve been vaccine injured.
Dr. Judy Mikovits, a 30-year veteran biochemist and molecular biologist found evidence of murine-related gammaretroviruses (XMRV) in 6% of the US population associated with diseases including cancer, autism, ME/CFs, Epstein-Barr Virus, chronic Lyme disease, Lou Gehrig’s disease Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s Disease. She also found the blood supply to be contaminated. Others suggested these retroviruses were most likely introduced into humans via vaccines.
Special Guests: Judy Mikovits, PhD and Annie Dru Allshouse
Judy A. Mikovits, PhD has spent her life training to be a research scientist to honor her grandfather who died of cancer when she was a teenager. Dr. Mikovits earned her BA from University of Virginia and PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from George Washington University. In her 35-year quest to understand and treat chronic diseases, she has studied immunology, natural products chemistry, epigenetics, virology and drug development.
In just over twenty years she rose from an entry-level lab technician to become director of the lab of Antiviral Drug Mechanisms at the National Cancer Institute before leaving to direct the Cancer Biology program at EpiGenX Pharmaceuticals in Santa Barbara, California where she had met and married David Nolde in 2000.
There in 2006, she became attracted to the plight of patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Autism. In only five years she developed the first neuroimmune institute from a concept to a reality and is primarily responsible for demonstrating the relationship between immune based inflammation and these diseases. She has published over 50 scientific papers.
Dr. Judy A. Mikovits recently founded MAR Consulting Inc. with her collaborator Dr. Frank Ruscetti.

Important Facts About Vaccines, Your Immune System & Your Brain
How Your Immune System Works – the primary job of the immune system is to distinguish the difference between self and non-self (or pathogen).
What You Need to Know About Vaccines
Vaccines – the idea is that vaccines are supposed to train the immune system see a pathogen (in the vaccine) and respond to that pathogen with an appropriate immune response, so that there’s a memory for how to deal with that pathogen again, before the pathogen kills the host. The concept is a good one, however, vaccines have ingredients that can set the stage for autoimmunity and inflammation.
- Antigens – a foreign molecule or stimulus that trains the immune system.
- Adjuvants – amplifiers that makes things as robust as possible. Aluminum is an example. Adjuvants boost everything into overdrive, including the pathogen in the vaccine. These can be very dangerous and could set the stage for autoimmunity.
- Excipients – inactive ingredient used as a carrier, like eggs, milk, antibiotics and Vero monkey kidney cells. While these are “inactive” ingredients, they can still cause challenges for the body.
- Ingredients in Vaccines – Centers for Disease Control (CDC) List of Vaccine Ingredients.
- Vitamin Shots – keep in mind that the vitamin K shot is vitamin K1 and has added ingredients (not recommended). Some B vitamin shots may have additives as well. Ask to see the ingredients or consider a compounding pharmacy that does not add preservatives or other ingredients.
Schedule of Vaccines
- CDC Schedule of Vaccines from Birth to Adulthood
- 49 doses of 14 vaccinations before the age of 6
- 74 doses of vaccinations by the age of 18 (this includes the HPV vaccine, which is often given during puberty
- Changes in vaccine schedules over the years – The Healthy Home Economist features an at-a-glance visual of how vaccine dosages have changed over the years.
Key Ages to Avoid Vaccines – It was only in the last decade that science discovered that the immune system influences the brain and vice versa.
- Before the age of 3 years old – the immune system is not fully developed. If you inject a vaccine before the immune system is developed (where it would then understand the difference between self and other), two things happen: (1) the body starts working on fighting infection at a time when it needs to be focusing on development, such as developing a healthy brain; and (2) the body can get confused because you’ve injected a pathogen when it still doesn’t know the difference between self and other. This can set the stage for autoimmunity.
- Puberty – between 10 and 21 years old, the brain is being fine-tuned, particularly the amygdala, hypothalamus and pineal gland. All of these are involved in empathy and reasoning. When you vaccinate, it creates an inflammatory response, which can stop this important development in order to fight the invader.
- Pregnancy – Since the immune system of the mother has been trained to tell the difference between self and other, the fetus is not “self.” We do not want mom to reject the fetus. Vaccinating during pregnancy can create challenges for the fetus. Two examples are: (1) the pathogen can go to the fetus; and (2) the mother’s microbiome becomes the baby’s microbiome. Today, we know the microbiome is critical for health and wellbeing.
- Menopause – time of hormonal change, as we age, the immune system is the most vulnerable.
- Elderly – the immune system is weaker and the brain is more vulnerable. Beware of the high-dose flu vaccine because it has more adjuvants, which cause inflammation in the HPA (hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal) axis in the brain.
Family Health Conditions & the Vaccine Decision – Consider not vaccinating if any of these conditions run in your family.
Tips for Healing If you Feel You’ve Been Vaccine-Injured or Have an Autoimmune Condition
Nutrition – First and foremost, focus on what you have control over. Good sources of food and water are a great place to start. One way to think about nutrition is to go back to the way our ancestors or grandparents did things.
- Ancestral Nutrition – follow these guidelines for a traditional diet that supports a healthy immune system, healthy brain function and a healthy microbiome.
- Avoid – processed foods, sugar and GMO foods (genetically modified). All of these foods contain toxins that adversely impact health and wellness. It’s also helpful to avoid toxins in the environment as much as possible. Some easier ones to avoid are household cleaners (switch to non-toxic brands or home-made options, like 1:1 water and white vinegar with about 10 drops of peppermint essential oil) and personal care products.
- Seek out clean drinking water sources – spring water, natural artesian water and filtered water.
- Support Your Body’s Natural Detoxification System – When you sign up for my newsletter, you receive a free one-hour podcast with tips for natural detoxification with food, supplements and personal care product changes.
Resources: Create A Community of Support
Since vaccinations are mainstream, as are GMO foods and processed foods, making changes to support your health can often feel isolating. The good news is that a growing number of people are making big changes and looking for a community of support. Meetup.com, Facebook (e.g., the Stop Mandatory Vaccination Facebook Group) and others are here to help!
Dr. Judy, Annie and I are all here for you, so please contact us if you need guidance or support. We will even set up classes and support if you are interested, just let me know by contacting me.
List of Supportive Doctors – these doctors can help with evidence to support you in opting out of vaccines based on health conditions or genetics.
How to Claim Medical Exemption in California – The Weston A. Price Foundation has put together these tips to claim medical exemption for vaccines.
Dr. Judy recommends having a lawyer write a letter to your public school saying that they cannot deny your child’s right to a free education.

Spirometry is a common breathing test used to determine how much and how fast you can get the air out of your lungs. You are asked to take a big breath in and blow it out as hard and long as you can into a machine. You will be asked to do this at least 3 times to make sure that we get the best test possible. You are then given a medication to breathe in, and then the test is done again to see if the medicine makes your breathing better. Spirometry is the only way to truly tell if you have COPD. | medical |

That accounts for more than 15% of the entire adult population, which makes hearing loss one of the most widespread medical issues after arthritis and heart disease. Unfortunately, it is not always seen with the seriousness it deserves, which causes a great deal of medical and social complications to those affected by it. But why exactly does this happen and why do people overlook hearing issues so much? What do they risk by doing so?
Risks of leaving hearing loss untreated
Hearing is one of humans’ five senses and we all need it to function in society and interact with the world around us. From the moment a person’s hearing starts to deteriorate, that quality of that person’s life will decrease. Medical research shows that the damage goes much further than the ears and it can impact people in many ways:
- If hearing loss is caused by an infection or is a symptom of an underlying disease, neglecting to see a specialist can lead to serious medical complications.
- Reduced awareness of one’s surroundings. Hearing impairment increases the risk of accidents and personal injury, especially when driving or when operating machinery at the workplace. Pedestrians are also at risk, because they might not be able to hear vehicles.
- Reduced performance at the workplace because instructions are not understood.
- Poor communication with friends, family and co-workers. People who have trouble hearing often feel ashamed to ask interlocutors to repeat themselves and the miss out on important details.
- Irritability and anger because one cannot connect with society
- In the long run, hearing loss can be even more harmful can cause emotional scarring. People who live with this condition and refuse to seek medical attention for years start to distance themselves from others and refuse to connect to colleagues and family. They can experience depression, anxiety and a constant feeling that they are unable to communicate. For children and teenagers this condition can become even more harmful, because it can interfere with cognitive development and social skills development.
Why do so many hearing loss cases go undiagnosed?
From the facts above, it’s clear that hearing loss is not harmful and it should be addressed immediately. But why do so many people neglect it? The most common reason is that they simply are not aware of it. Hearing loss almost always occurs gradually, so people don’t realize something is wrong. They imagine that their conversation partners don’t speak loud enough or that the TV volume is too low.
Another reason why people don’t seek medical attention is that they believe in myths and don’t know what a hearing test consists of or what it means to live with a hearing aid:
Biggest hearing loss myths
- Hearing loss is temporary and it will come back on its own in no time. That is not true. Having a “bad ear” isn’t something that heals on its own and more often than not it needs treatment.
- People can easily live with a hearing impairment. They can live, but the quality of their lives is drastically affected, especially relationships with friends and family.
- GPs can diagnose hearing loss and they should have told you. Because conversations with a GP take place in a quiet room, the doctor might not realize there is a problem with your hearing.
- Hearing loss only happens to elderly people. Although being over 65 is a risk factor and most cases of hearing impairment occur in this age category, you can have hearing loss earlier in life, even in your 20s.
- Taking a hearing test is complicated and painful. In fact, going to a hearing test Colorado Springs is quick and painless. The test takes as little as five minutes and does not hurt at all: you will only wear a pair of headphones in a soundproof room and a specialist will play sounds at different frequencies for you. All you have to do is raise your hand when you hear a noise and this will be enough to diagnose a problem.
- Wearing a hearing aid is uncomfortable. Things are actually the other way around. Modern hearing aids are light and discrete. They work as amplifiers, helping you hear normally, and thus helping you function in society. The aid will be fitted according to your needs, so it will not hurt your ear after prolonged use. After a while, putting it on becomes second nature, as normal as putting on a watch in the morning. | medical |
https://niumedicallegalclinic.wordpress.com/2017/06/15/how-stress-impacts-hac-clients/ | 2018-06-21T06:01:17 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864039.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20180621055646-20180621075646-00144.warc.gz | 0.972988 | 686 | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2018-26__0__1570895 | en | The Health Advocacy Clinic (HAC) is a medical-legal partnership with Aunt Martha’s Health and Outreach Center as well as Hesed House, the second largest homeless shelter in Illinois. Most of our clients are homeless. The ones who are not consist of low-income members of the community who struggle with poverty. Whether our clients stay in public housing or at Hesed House, they share one thing in common: their lives are stressful in a way that many of us cannot begin to comprehend.
HAC clients frequently experience stress trying to secure basic needs such as shelter, food, and safety. The effects of such stress can have long-term effects on their bodies and overall health. “The longer the stress lasts, the worse it is for both your mind and body.”1 Many of our clients are considered chronically homeless, which requires that they have been homeless for at least a year or have been homeless at least four times within the last three years and have a disability, and have therefore been subjected to the harmful effects of chronic stress.2 Although Hesed House provides its guests with a safe place to spend the night and three meals a day, guests are on their own during the day. Walking the streets of Aurora, they may become victims of crimes that threaten their safety simply because of their status as a homeless person. If they are disabled, physically or mentally, they may be perceived to be less likely to fight back during a physical attack, robbery, or sexual assault. Additionally, guests may be unable to find stable employment, which will prevent them from earning the funds necessary to escape homelessness.
The HAC works to secure Social Security Disability benefits for our disabled clients. Our work is necessary because of the strong link between homelessness and disabling conditions. According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, “people living in shelters are more than twice as likely to have a disability, compared to the general population.”3 Even if a client’s disabling condition did not cause their homelessness, the condition certainly was not improved due to the chronic stress the homeless face. For example, a client of the HAC came to Hesed House with back pain problems. After having to spend every night sleeping on a mat on the floor, his back pain has become so severe that he walks with a cane and is being referred for spinal surgery. The disabling condition does not have to be physical; mental illness can be worsened by the stress of homelessness as well. A former client of the HAC struggled daily with managing several mental health diagnoses while staying at Hesed House. Now that she has been granted Social Security Disability benefits and was able to move into her own apartment, she is able to function in society much easier.
At the HAC, a student will learn the relationship between chronic stress and medical conditions. They will see how a controllable disease such as asthma or high blood pressure can be worsened to the point of disability by the chronic stress associated with homelessness. For HAC clients pursuing Social Security Disability, the condition must be disabling enough that the client will be unable to work for 12 months or more. A law student can attest to the fact that stress can have a negative impact on the human body, but it is the HAC clients who can show you how devastating chronic stress can be on every aspect of the human life: physical, psychological, and emotional. | medical |

Closely connected to nutrition is the gut flora which came into the centre of scientific interest lately. The gut flora contributes to the host’s nutrition by providing carbohydrates, amino acids and vitamins (Gilmore/Ferretti 2003). By that it regulates fat storage and even might be connected to obesity (Bäckhed et al 2004). Every kind of nutrition has its own flora with its own characteristics. The intestinal flora consists of about 1,2 kg bacteria and is so complex that not two people have the same complement of bacteria (Abott 2004). These micro-organisms adapt to each other and to the host even by exchanging genetical material (Xu et al 2007).
To really judge the importance of the gut flora, its organizational purpose has to be understood. The intestines are the most pervious part of the body. In the guts the distinction between me and other is problematic. Food has to be reduced to a size that the autopoietic unit ‘human’ (chap. 4.8) is able to absorb it and to maintain simultaneously its autonomy.
This happens in cooperation and in a symbiotic exchange relation with many bacteria. That is, the human is here in a very close contact with a multitude of bacteria that are potentially harmful. The mechanisms how this shifting balance between helpful and harmful bacteria is performed are slowly investigated (Xavier/Podolsky 2000; Neish et al 2000; Podolsky 2002; Ganz 2003; Coye et al 2005).
Immune regulation and inflammation processes are closely involved in this process. Thus, the gut flora plays an important role for the immunological balance (Podolsky 2000), might influence allergic disposition (Noverr et al 2005), is the first line of defence against pathogenic bacteria (LeBlanc et al 2008) and even might prevent kidney stones (Kaufman et al 2008). It is an ecological system with all characteristics of complexity.
When Helicobacter pylori infection was found to be related to stomach ulcer, this lead to a shift of paradigm in the treatment of the disease. Till then stomach ulcer was a typical ‘psychosomatic’ disease. Today Helicobacter is seen as the leading cause even of gastric malignancies (Kawakubo et al 2004), although it is inadequate as a monocausal explanation. Only a fraction of the ‘infected’ patients develop peptic ulcer, gastric cancer, or malignant lymphoma (Kawakubo et al 2004). The lifetime risk for persons with Helicobacter pylori to suffer peptic ulcer ranges from 3 percent in the US to 25 percent in Japan. Life style factors are still as good to predict peptic ulcer and the best results are attained, if the two (life-style and bacterium) are combined (Levenstein 1998). Nevertheless, Helicobacter is present in most cases of peptic ulcer (Suerbaum/Michetti 2002) and the typical linear strategy of medicine is the eradication of the bacterium understood as ‘causing’ the disease.
Such an intervention into an ecological context changes its balance. Therefore, some scientists expected an altered immune response with unpredictable consequences after Helicobacter eradication (Whitfield 2003). There is, indeed, some evidence that the eradication of Helicobacter contributes to cancers of the upper stomach (cardia) (Kamangar et al 2006), to asthma (Chen/Blaser 2007), to oesophageal disease and infant diarrhoea (Whitfield 2003).
Applying a linear logic to such relations is somehow confusing. When Helicobacter is defined as the ‘cause’ of stomach ulcer, then the eradication of Helicobacter is the ‘cause’ of oesophagitis, diarrhoea, cardia cancer and asthma. But such statements do not really make sense as systems like the gut are necessarily nonlinear. For example, in mice the prognosis in the case of a re-infection with Helicobacter is worse than in the infected and untreated animals (Mueller et al 2005). This finding makes only sense, when principles of adaptation are introduced.
In any case, it would be more appropriate to talk about the ‘presence’ of Helicobacter facilitating gastric ulcer and not of ‘causes’ or of H. pylori ‘infection’. This becomes even more obvious when different contexts are taken into account.
The stomach is normally protected against bacterial damage through gastric mucin (Kawakubo et al 2004). The reduced defence mechanism could be seen as cause of the disease on a different level. This is, indeed, the old paradigm of stress theory. But also nutrition plays a role. It not only influences the gut population, in general. Exogenous cholesterol enhances the growth of H. pylori populations directly (Kawakubo et al 2004). That is, a nutrition rich in cholesterol (the minor part) or inducing the own production of cholesterol (the major part) contributes to the increase of Helicobacter.
A ‘causal chain’ (chap 2.1.d) wisely knowing that such a chain has no other meaning than to exhibit the theory and interest of the observer would be
nutrition ► cholesterol ► Helicobacter ► stomach ulcer
Every intervention, every drug changes the gut flora contributing to many diseases (Stockert 2001). The effects of iron, antibiotics and systemic cortisone can be judged in middle and long term only, when their effects on the gut are considered. For example, the higher incidence of breast cancer through antibiotics has been attributed to the damage they do to the gut flora (Velicer et al 2003).
Another disease attributed to the damage of the gut flora through antibiotics and bad diet is eosinophilic oesophagitis which showed a sharp rise in the last years (Noel et al 2004). Its eosinophilic character is of special interest. Eosinophilic reaction is normally seen in helminth infection or in allergic disease. The two are somehow interconnected as the reduction of helminth infections leads to a rise of allergic disease (Wickelgren 2004). One proposed explanation for this finding is that worm infections occupy certain receptors which might provoke allergic disease when not used. This theory, as such, is surely too simplistic as receptors change according to a certain situation and IgE is part of a wider network (Gould/Sutton 2008). However, it provides a first rough model of how the body can be triggered by different germs, or, if these are lacking, by other substances.
The theory says, more generally spoken and probably much nearer to the truth, that the immune system has to be occupied with a certain amount of germs, otherwise it occupies itself with substances normally not acting as an antigen. This is also the core of the so-called hygiene hypothesis (Watts 2004). It says that the reduced contact with bugs leads to allergic disease. The theory is based on the observation that a reduced exposition to bacterial and helminth diseases is related to atopic disease. For example, children with many brothers and sister and/or with animals, and/or children living on farms have an impressingly lower incidence of allergic disease (Braun-Fahrländer et al 2002).
The hypothesis is supported by animal studies (King et al 2004). “Autoimmune diseases in susceptible strains of mice or rats develop earlier and at a higher rate among animals bred in a specific pathogen-free environment than among animals bred in a conventional environment.” (Bach 2002). Even lymphoma (Becker et al 2004) and multiple sclerosis (Ponsonby et al 2005) are connected to the lack of exposition to bugs. Some attribute the protective effect of bacterial infection to T cell differentiation and to the level of cytokines (Weiss 2002).
The ‘hygiene’ problem starts already with birth. The gut flora develops within the first 2-3 days. The first colonisation is extremely important. Colosturm, the first milk in breast feeding, plays a major role. But the bacteria of the environment as well. It has been shown that infants born in a modern hospital are exposed to fewer bacteria and develop a less rich flora than children under ‘normal’ hygienic conditions (Stockert 2001). As in hospitals patients acquire multiple antibiotic-resistant enterococcal strains within days of admission (Gilmore/Ferretti 2003) hospital birth might contribute to allergic disease in two ways. It leads to a reduced flora and it provides highly selected, often pathogen bacteria.
Therefore, the hygiene hypothesis has to be seen in a wider sense. It is not only the confrontation of the immune system with certain bacteria that matters. It is also the question which bacteria persist in the human under which circumstances. This wider concept explains why infectious diseases during the first 6 months of life are associated with an increased risk of atopic dermatitis (Benn et al 2004). The more inadequate the gut flora is, the more probable are infections and the more probable is the persistence of pathogenic germs.
Antibiotics play a role. “By altering the balance of gut microbes, antibiotics can disrupt the immune system's ability to distinguish between innocuous substances and harmful microbes. This finding, from experiments on mice, adds weight to the notion that antibiotics could be at least partly responsible for the rise in allergies and asthma in children” (Randerson 2004). This connection between the use of antibiotics and allergic disease has been maintained by many researchers (Bach 2002; Randerson 2004, Noverr et al 2005). But it is no surprise that other studies do not confirm these findings (Benn et al 2004).
As the gut is a nonlinear system, interventions into its ecology through nutrition or in eradicating certain bacteria will not reveal predictable results. Nothing might happen, consequences might occur only very slow, or other co-factors are needed to produce symptoms.
Therefore it is also doubtful whether the administer of worms in patients with bowel inflammation or allergic disease is really as useful as first results suggest (Coghlan 1999, Kolfs 2004, Summers 2005). Although the eradication of the helminths gives rise to allergic reactions, this does not mean that the administration of helminths will have the opposite effect. This linear exchange value is not true in polyvalent situations (chap 3.5). This does not mean that the application of worms is generally useless. It only means that the whole concept has to be considered cautiously, especially all generalizing statements.
The administration of living organisms, so-called probiotics, has a long tradition, but was seen as “folk medicine” (Tamboli et al 2003) used only by different methods of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in the treatment of atopic diseases, in all kind of bowel disturbances and in people with a tendency for infections. Only lately its positive effects became accepted by orthodox medicine (Bach 2002; Shanahan 2003) and had been proved to be effective in respected trials (Tubelius et al 2005). Thus the positive effect of germ administration became more widely accepted.
B. thetaiotaomicron is helpful to prevent bowel inflammation (Gilmore/Ferretti 2003) and E coli nissle 1917 is as effective in the treatment of colitis ulcerosa as mesalazine (Rembacken et al 1999). The protective effect of the E. coli nissle 1917 was detected (by observation) in WW I, when the bacterium was isolated in a soldier who was spared of a severe gastroenteritis. The bacterium became the main substance of a probiotic remedy (Mutaflor®), and was used since for many purposes.
In the now flowering research on probiotics it has been found that already the DNA of probiotic bacteria has an immunstimulatory effect (Rachmilewitz et al 2004). But even this has been known by CAM for decades. Refined parts of bacteria (for example Prosymbioflor®) is used at the beginning of a probiotic therapy, in small children and/or in sensible persons.
The orthodox proposition to add the immunstimulating DNA to nutrition in order to avoid allergic diseases (Rachmilewitz et al 2004) springs from the linear thinking that so often leads into trouble. The therapy with refined bacterial parts has sometimes no effect, but not so rarely it leads to an overstimulation with all kind of inflammatory reactions. Therefore it is no surprise that a trial showed that the general administration of certain probiotics is correlated with an increased mortality in acute pancreatitis (Besselink et al 2008). Probiotics have to be dosed carefully and the regimen has to be altered according to the observed effects. There is no simple dose-effect relation.
But the gut flora is only one part of human symbiosis, although the most prominent one. The flora of the mouth, the ears, the vagina, the skin, they all play a role in the adaptation of humans to their environment and in the competence of the immune system. Actually, the human organism consists of 90% non-human cells (Nicholoson et al 2004).
Thus, all kinds of diseases might be influenced with probiotics. It is a quite common strategy in vaginosis. Also HIV-infections seem to be to some extend preventable through lactobacillus (Tao 2005). As this germ is often present, especially in the milk and the mouth, this might explain why the transmission of HIV through breastfeeding is rarely observed. It was also proposed to use probiotics in recurrent otitis media (All-Sttodley et al 2006).
The understanding of the bacterial biotope ‘human’ is essential for any concept of chronic diseases.
For example, it is futile to ask which germ is causing bacterial vaginosis. Until now 35 bacteria have been found (Fredericks et al 2005) and may be Helicobacter will have soon some companions as the cause of peptic ulcer. However, these germs might often be more an indicator of an imbalance and less a causal agent.
Although the bacterial flora is quite complex it is not such a great methodological challenge. With some concepts of adaptation, symbiosis, cooperation and competition it should not be too difficult to model clinical observations. | medical |

If they get an answer in the affirmative, they ask at what age their child can start wearing braces. Most kids who need orthodontic treatment start it at the age of 12 or 13. Some children start earlier. In those years, the head and mouth are still in their growing stages. This process makes the shifting of teeth a bit easier.
How Long Will My Child Wear Braces?
The answer to this question depends on a lot of factors. This includes the actual placement of the braces, as well as the type of braces that the orthodontist uses and their treatment plan. Most teens will wear their braces between 18 and 30 months. During that time, their braces will get adjusted by an orthodontist every one to two months. This allows your teen’s teeth to align over time. After your teen returns to treatment at the family dental care practice, they might wear retainers anywhere for a couple of months to a couple of years.
Will Braces Actually Hurt?
When your child has an appointment with their orthodontist, they will get the connecting wires of the braces tightened. This causes pressure on the brackets, which allow the teeth to shift. After this process, your teen might feel some soreness. However, they won’t feel the pain for long.

Taking good care of a wound is always important, but for those that are medically fragile, wound care can be lifesaving. When an individual has a wound that results from consistent contact with a bed, for example, it can be very difficult for them to heal. Constant vigilance is needed to keep the wound from getting deeper. For those with a compromised immune system or trouble healing because of conditions like diabetes, wound care services make it possible to heal damaged tissue and avoid further complications. If you or your loved one is trying to manage with a wound that is not healing, it's time to meet with wound care services to get some help.
Pressure Sores That Won't Heal
Pressure sores are graded by stage. In stage one, it appears as a red spot on the skin. By stage four, the wound is open and you can visibly see muscles, tendons, and bone. They are caused when an individual is confined to a bed or wheelchair and is not able to move about. A stage one pressure sore can begin as early as two hours in the same position. Once a stage four pressure sore is present, it takes careful wound care to get the wound to heal. If it gets infected, problems with an infection can become systemic and fatal.
Wound Care After Surgery
A surgical procedure can leave you with a significant wound that needs to heal. You may have drains that need to be checked daily and bandages that have to be replaced. Wound care services take a careful look at your wound and make sure that it is healing as it should be. The wound should be cleaned and properly dressed to give you the best chance at healing. Surgical wounds can get infected without proper cleaning, so it's important to follow all the prescribed protocol after surgery.
Your Individualized Wound Care Plan
Your type of wound, your medical status, and your ability to take care of the wound on your own, all become part of your wound care plan. For those that can't take care of their own needs, a wound care plan emphasizes the care needs and what should be done, step-by-step, in order to help you heal.
It can be difficult to heal after developing a pressure sore or surgical wound. Work with your specialist and understand the role of wound care services as you heal. | medical |

Excess waste substances in the urine are sometimes deposited in the renal cavities, leading to hard, crystallized formations that can grow and progress into tiny stones. It is fairly straightforward to get rid of small stones (the so-called gravel). Larger stones, on the other hand, can obstruct the urinary tract, resulting in infections and painful colic. After your first bout of colic, there is a very high risk of further outbreaks.
Why Do Kidney Stones Form?
The main conditions favoring the formation of kidney stones are:
a low volume of urine (less than two liters of urine per day);
an increase in the concentration of certain elements (calcium, sodium, oxalates, etc.) in the urine;
a reduction of the substances in the urine that can inhibit crystallization.
What Can I Do to Avoid Them?
The entire scientific community agrees that increasing your intake of liquids during the day is the easiest and most effective way to prevent the formation of kidney stones. Drinking at least two liters of oligomineral water a day causes urine volume to increase. This, in turn, causes the concentration of elements leading to the formation of stones to decrease while also promoting the spontaneous expulsion of crystals.

Bill of Rights
Natalie Davis Spingarn
© 1999 NCCS
1. Survivors have the right to continuous lifelong medical care, as needed. The physicians and other professionals involved should make every effort to be:
- Sensitive to cancer survivors' lifestyle choices and their need for self-esteem, dignity and privacy of the information trusted to them;
- Careful, no matter how long these patients have survived, to take symptoms seriously and not to dismiss aches and pains, for fear of recurrence is a normal part of survivorship;
- Vigilant to watch for any long-term and late effects of cancer and its treatment in follow-up clinics and offices;
- Informative and open, providing survivors with as much or as little candid medical information as they wish, and encouraging informed participation but not expecting survivors to manage that care on their own;
- Knowledgeable about counseling and rehabilitation resources, and willing to refer survivors and their families as appropriate for emotional support and therapy aiming to improve the texture as well as the quantity of time that is theirs to live.
2. No matter in which setting their care is offered -- be it the fee for service or some sort of managed care system -- survivors have the right to quality care emphasizing:
- Informed choice - choice of the setting in which care is delivered, choice of primary physicians and specialists delivering that care, as well as choice of appropriate, effective and safe treatments (including ongoing clinical trials);
- Efficient yet humane management of such unfortunate byproducts of disease as fatigue and pain - pain control management, for example, which approaches survivors more as partners in identifying the proper amount of medication needed at any given time than as potential drug addicts;
- Appropriate use of hospital and other facilities, wherein cost effectiveness and patient-centered care are balanced so that no survivor is dismissed -- after a mastectomy, for example -- unable to care for her or himself or secure the care needed to avoid dangerous and painful situations;
- Constant respect for survivors' wishes as to when and how to discontinue treatment should that time arise, including the scrupulous honoring of "living wills" and similar documents.
3. In their personal lives, survivors, like other Americans, have the right to the pursuit of happiness. This means they have the right:
- To talk with their families and friends about their cancer experience if they wish, but to refuse to discuss it if that is their choice, and not to be expected to be more upbeat or less blue than anyone else;
- To be free of the stigma of cancer as a "dread disease" in all social relations, wherever they may take place -- from home to work or marketplace;
- To be free of blame for having the disease and of guilt for having survived it;
- To participate in support groups and other survivor support and/or advocacy activities as they wish, for in such settings they usually feel less isolated, more informed, and more able to express their feelings, be they feelings of hope or of despair, without fear of being regarded as "bad" or "ungrateful" or simply "uncooperative" patients.
4. In the work place, survivors have the right to equal job opportunities. This means they have the right:
- To aspire to jobs worthy of their skills, and for which they are trained and experienced, and thus not to have to accept jobs they would not have considered before their cancer experience;
- To be hired, promoted, and accepted on return to work, according to their individual abilities and qualifications, and not according to "cancer" or "disability" stereotypes with "reasonable accommodation," under federal and state law, such as changes in duties or hours, which allows them to work while receiving medical treatment without falling into a survivors' "Catch-22" -- too ill to work, but too healthy to qualify as "disabled" and so entitled to protection under the Americans with Disabilities Act;
- To privacy about their medical histories.
5. Since health insurance is an urgent survivorship concern, every effort should be made to assure all survivors decent, affordable coverage, whether public or private, or provided under managed care or fee-for-service systems. This means:
- For employers, that survivors have the right to be included in group health coverage, which is often less expensive and provides employees with more protection under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA or Kassebaum - Kennedy Act) regardless of health history;
- For physicians, counselors, and other professionals concerned, that they keep themselves and their survivor-clients informed and up-to-date on the dangers of health insurance discrimination which can make it difficult to buy and keep coverage, as well as on available group or individual health policy options (noting, for example, what major expenses like hospital costs and medical tests outside the hospital are covered and what amount must be paid before coverage);
- For social policy makers, both in government and in the private sector, that they seek both to broaden insurance programs to include diagnostic procedures and treatments which help prevent recurrence and ease survivor anxiety and pain, as well as to lower the unfair barriers often imposed by the accidents of race, minority culture, age, or plain lack of means to pay for adequate health insurance coverage.
In sum, cancer survivors have the overriding right to access quality health care. Implicit in that right is universal access to adequate health insurance coverage. For "quality" becomes an empty word without the means to achieve such coverage. | medical |

It can cause difficulty in breathing and make it very challenging or almost impossible to do some certain tasks. It is a chronic condition which is has no known cure yet but can be managed.
Asthma affects millions of people around the world with 25 million in America alone. In 2019 it caused 461,000 deaths across the world.
When a normal person breaths, the muscles around the airways are relaxed making air to move easily but during an asthmatic attack the muscles around the airways constrict (tighten) causing the airways to become narrow. As you know when something becomes narrow it will be difficult for things to pass through it. When the airways of the lungs become narrow, air cannot flow freely. This tightening of the airways is called Bronchospasm. As a result of this the airway will become inflamed causing mucus to fill the airways, which will reduce the amount of air that can pass through it.
When these conditions take place asthmatic attacks will begin with symptoms of cough and tightness of the chest.
TYPES OF ASTHMA
There different types of asthma and they include:
- Allergic asthma: This is the asthma triggered by allergens. It is the most type of asthma. The allergens include dust, food, pollen grains, mold, pet dander from animals like dogs and cats. Allergic asthma is seasonal because it appears when it is the season of those allergens.
- Non – allergic asthma: This is the asthma that is not caused by allergens but by irritants and pollutants in the air. The irritants includes:
- Burning wood
- Cold air
- Viral infections.
- Air fresheners and perfumes
- Polluted air
- Occupational asthma: This type of asthma is caused by triggers in the place of work. The triggers in the work place include:
- Industrial chemicals
- Fumes and gases
- Proteins from animals.
These irritants are mostly found in industries such as manufacturing, textiles, farming, and wood work industries.
- Exercise – induced bronchoconstriction (EIB): This type of asthma is usually triggered when people exercise within the first few minutes of starting and few minutes after ending. This type of asthma was formally called Exercise- induced asthma. Most people with asthma experience this type of asthma.
- Nocturnal asthma: This is the type of asthma where the symptoms worse at night. Heart burns, pet dander, dust mites are suspected to be the triggers of nocturnal asthma. The sleep cycle of a person can also trigger this type of asthma
- Aspirin –induced asthma: This type of asthma is triggered when people take aspirin or other NSAIDS such as ibuprofen.
- Cough – variant asthma (CVA): This is the type of asthma that is characterized by persistent dry cough. Common symptoms associated with asthma are usually absent in CVA. This type of asthma can become a full blown asthma if it is not treated on time.
SYMPTOMS OF ASTHMA
Asthma symptoms can include the following:
- Tightness in the chest or chest pain
- Coughing mostly at night
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain
- Fast breathing
- Sleeping troubles
The symptoms may worsen or not improve even with the use of inhaler and may result in these severe symptoms:
- Severe difficulty in breathing
- Gasping for air
- Feeling dizzy
- Experiencing confusion
- Paleness or blueness of lips or finger nails
- Difficulty in walking or talking
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these severe symptoms.
CAUSES OF ASTHMA
Researchers are yet to find the cause of asthma. But certain factors can increase the chances of developing asthma which include:
- Allergies: When a person is allergic to some things the risks of developing asthma will be high.
- Genetics: if your family has a history of asthma there is a possibility that you will asthmatic
- Environmental factors: Exposure to toxins, fumes, allergies, second – or – third hand smoke in the environment can trigger the development of asthma especially in infants and young children whose immune systems are not fully developed.
- Respiratory infections: Respiratory infections such as Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can cause asthma in young children.
COMMON ASTHMA ATTACKS TRIGGERS
Anybody can have asthmatic attack when they come in contact with things that can trigger. These triggers may cause instant asthmatic attacks but to some other people an attack may start hours or days later.
It is important to know that what can lead to an asthmatic attack in A may not cause it in B. But the more common triggers include:
- Air pollution: Air pollutants such as wild fire smoke, car exhaust, factory emissions and many more can trigger of asthmatic attacks.
- Exercise: Exercising can trigger off the occurrence of asthmatic attack in some people.
- Cigarette smoke: Smoking or inhaling tobacco smoke (second – hand smoking) can trigger asthmatic attacks especially in an enclosed area like car or home. The best thing to do is to quit smoking or stay away from people who smoke because both smoking and inhaling smoke from people who smoke can stir up asthmatic attacks.
- Smoke from burning wood or grass: Smoke from these places contains harmful gases or particles which when inhaled can trigger asthmatic attacks. It is advisable to avoid burning wood in your home. This might be a very difficult thing to do especially for people in places where firewood is used for cooking.
- Food and food allergies: Any food can cause an allergic reaction. Food additives and preservatives are believed to cause allergies in some people and these allergies can then lead to asthmatic.
- Respiratory infections: Respiratory diseases such as the common cold, flu, sinus infections, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
- Negative emotional states: Negative emotional states such as depression,stress, anxiety, fear can trigger an asthmatic attack.
- Certain medications: Medications such non steroidal anti- inflammatory drugsIbuprofen, naproxen and aspirin are the most common drugs that can trigger asthmatic attacks.
Some other triggers of asthma can include:
- Extreme environmental weather condition.
DIAGNOSIS OF ASTHMA
The diagnosis of asthma begins with studying the family history of the patient and then carrying out physical examination.
Family history: If you have family members with asthma the risks of developing this breathing condition is very high.
Physical examination: The doctor can use a stethoscope to listen to your breathing. Skin tests can also be carried out check for any sign of allergic reaction such as eczema.
Breathing tests: The doctor can conduct a pulmonary function tests (PFTs) which measures the airflow into and out of your lungs. The more common of these tests is the spirometry where you blow into a device that measures the speed of the air.
Breathing tests are not usually conducted on children less than 5 years because it will be difficult to get an accurate result. The doctor will prescribe asthma medication for your child instead. If the symptoms improve then the child has asthma.
Bronchodilator or other asthma medication may be prescribed by your doctor if test results are pointing towards asthma for adults. If condition improves with this medication the doctor will treat your condition as asthma.
TREATMENT OF ASTHMA
There is no cure yet for asthma, but you can alleviate and prevent symptoms.
The type of treatment methods that can be used to help people with asthma depends on how severe the symptoms are. The severity of asthma can be:
- Intermittent: This is when the asthma does not interfere with daily activities. The symptoms are mild and can last for few days in a week or few days in a month.
- Mild persistent: The symptoms of this disease appear more than twice a week but not every day of the week and up to 4 nights per month.
- Moderate persistent: Here the symptoms manifest daily and at least 1 night a week. Some daily activities may be limited.
- Severe persistent: This is the worst of them all. Symptoms occur several times a day and in most nights. Daily activities of the sufferer will be greatly affected.
Asthma symptoms can be alleviated through quick – relief and long term control medications.
Quick–relief asthma treatments: These are medications used to get quick relief from asthma symptoms if an attack occurs. Bronchodilators are used to provide quick relief as it relaxes the tightened muscles around the airways which will reduce symptoms quickly. Bronchodilators are most commonly taken with an inhaler or nebulizer. It can also be taken orally or injected.
Long- term asthma control medications: These medications are used to provide daily relief from asthma symptoms. They may not provide relief if you have an asthmatic attack. The long- term asthma control medications include:
- Anti –inflammatories: These medications are used to reduce swelling and mucous production in the airway which will help to make easier for you to breathe.
- Long –acting Bronchodilators: These are bronchodilators that have long lasting effects. They should be used in combination with anti –inflammatory asthma medications.
- Anticholinergics: These are used to prevent the tightening of the muscles of the airways. You should take them daily in combination with anti-inflammatories.
When asthma is so severe that it does not respond to treatment doctors use what is called Biologics. These biologics are used to target specific antibodies in the body, disrupting the pathway that leads to asthma-causing inflammation.
PREVENTION OF ASTHMA
The cause of asthma still remains unknown and so there are no specific methods to prevent the development of asthma.
However the things to do to prevent asthma attacks are much available and they include:
- Stay away from things that can trigger asthma attacks.
- Avoid exposure to allergens.
- Take your medications regularly which can help to prevent the occurrence of asthma attack.
- Stop smoking if you do and stay away from people that smoke.
- Eat balanced diet
- Minimize stress because stress can trigger off asthma attack.
- Maintain a schedule of exercising daily. Although physical activities can trigger off asthma attacks, regular exercising can actually reduce the occurrence of an attack. | medical |

But acne can be treated. What causes acne, what types there are and what the therapy looks like. After reading this article, we hope too, you can obey any myths about acne, like Why Do I Get Pimples on My Lips After Kissing?
What is Acne?
Acne is one of the most common skin diseases. Around 85 percent of the population has been affected at some time. Acne, due to hormonal changes during puberty, occurs mainly in teenagers from the age of nine. Almost every teenager has already discovered the characteristic blackheads and pimples on his or her face. By the third decade of life, the condition usually subsides. If acne occurs in adults over the age of 25, it is referred to as acne tarda, late acne or adult acne.
Physiological or mild acne
About 60 percent of young people suffer from harmless, so-called physiological or mild acne. They usually only have to deal with a few blackheads and pimples for a short period of one to two years, which can be controlled with over-the-counter remedies from the pharmacy.
About 40 percent, however, have a more pronounced form of acne, the so-called clinical acne. It can persist until the end of the second decade of life or even beyond and requires treatment by a dermatologist (specialist in dermatology). If the medication is discontinued too early, relapse occurs and the therapy starts all over again. Therefore, the doctor will prescribe maintenance therapy when the acne is largely under control. This may take a few years or longer to reach the natural remission phase at the end of the second and beginning of the third decade of life.
Acne can become a heavy burden not only on the body but also on the soul. This is especially the case with the very severe forms of progression. Papules, pustules as well as nodules – especially on the face – can be perceived as very disturbing cosmetically and can lower personal self-esteem. In the case of severe acne, a dermatologist should definitely be consulted, also because of these psychosocial factors, who may also consult a colleague in the field of psychosomatics.
What Causes Acne?
Several factors are involved in the development of acne. These are:
- sebaceous gland hyperfunction
- cornification disorder in the sebaceous gland duct
- overgrowth of bacteria
- inflammatory reaction
Sebaceous gland hyperfunction and keratinization disorder
In adolescents, at the onset of puberty, under the influence of male sex hormones (androgens) and growth factor (GH), the sebaceous glands enlarge and produce more sebum. This results in sebaceous gland hyperfunction. Normally, the sebum passes unhindered through the sebaceous gland canal to the surface of the skin. In acne, however, the cells lining the duct, which are also stimulated by androgens, additionally form increased horny material. The excess horny material eventually clogs the excretory duct so that the sebum can no longer drain away. Initially, blackhead precursors (microcomedones) form, which we cannot see with the naked eye.
These give rise to all other skin manifestations typical of acne, including open and closed blackheads. By applying gentle pressure, the thread-like emptying whitish content – the sebaceous-horny mixture – of the blackhead can be seen. Open comedones can be recognized by their black dot in the center. This blackish discolored spot consists of melanin, which comes from the pigment-forming cells (melanocytes) of the mouth of the duct. Therefore, it is not dirt. From open blackheads, the horny sebum material can be more easily dissolved by exfoliating substances, acne cleansers or medications such as vitamin A acid preparations. In the case of closed blackheads, there is a risk of inflammation, deterioration, discoloration and scarring, especially when they are squeezed out. Here, the so-called acne toilet by experienced medical cosmeticians can additionally help.
Because fat and horny cell production in the sebaceous glands is stimulated even more strongly by male sex hormones, acne is usually more pronounced in men and boys than in girls and women.
Overgrowth of bacteria and inflammation
Due to the overactivity of the gland, a certain bacterium, Cutibacterium acnes, finds improved growth conditions in the sebaceous gland excretory duct and multiplies. However, acne is not an infectious disease. In itself, we all have these bacteria on our skin. They have many enzymes that, among other things, break down sebum and keep inflammation going in the area surrounding the sebaceous gland apparatus. Special immune cells migrate into the region, loosening the wall of the duct and facilitating and increasing the back-and-forth of messengers of inflammation. As a result, pustules, papules and nodules form on the skin. If the bacteria encapsulate in the follicular duct, antibiotic resistance can develop, which is closely associated with the inflammation and poorer response to certain acne medications for topical application. External factors that promote blockage of the sebaceous gland excretory ducts should also be avoided. These include fats or oils in skin care and cosmetic products, certain medications, hot-humid climates, or mechanical irritants, for example, caused by too tight or occupational clothing (chin straps, helmets, face shields).
Some people may ask, Why Do I Get Pimples on My Lips After Kissing? Does kissing cause pimples on lips? Or, does lip kissing cause pimples? But it all just a myth that kissing can make you get pimples.
Symptoms and Forms of Acne
Acne mainly develops where there are many sebaceous glands:
- on the face,
- on the neck and side of the neck
- on the front triangle of the chest (décolleté),
- on the back up to the buttocks
- on the outer upper arms and especially shoulders
However, acne can also appear under the armpits and in the genital, buttock and groin regions. However, this is not a disease of the sebaceous glands but of the hair follicles (terminal hair follicles), i.e. a completely different disease (acne inversa or hidradenitis suppurativa). This has a different treatment concept and those affected should be cared for by specialized skin centers.
In the clinical picture of acne proper (acne vulgaris), a distinction is made between several forms characterized by different skin changes, but fluid transitions are always present:
- Acne comedonica: It is characterized by the appearance of open and closed blackheads, which are not or hardly inflamed. The number of closed blackheads significantly exceeds the number of open blackheads, especially in women. In acne comedonica, the blackheads are mainly located on the face, especially in the lateral nose, chin and forehead areas.
- Acne papulo-pustulosa: In this form of acne, in addition to blackheads, there are inflammatory pustules (pus-filled protrusions of the excretory duct) and, when touched, painful papules (up to five millimeters in size) and small nodules (five to ten millimeters in size). In addition to the face, the chest, back and upper arms may also be affected. Different types of scars can develop quickly or later from the inflammations.
- Acne conglobata or cystic acne: Mainly men are affected by this severe form of acne. One to two centimeter large, highly inflammatory and painful nodules form, which in the course of time merge with each other to form ducts or encapsulate as deep abscesses. After the inflammations have healed, characteristic acne scars remain.
In addition, there are various other forms of acne, of which some examples are given here:
- Acne fulminans occurs as a complication of acne conglobata. It can lead to fever and death of affected skin areas (skin necrosis), kidney inflammation and joint inflammation.
- Acne neonatorum occurs in newborns, but heals quickly after delivery. The cause is thought to be male sex hormones that are transferred from the mother to the embryo.
- Acne infantum means that acne persists in infancy. Possible causes are congenital hormonal enzyme deficiencies or locally over-oily skin.
- Acne medicamentosa: pimples and pustules caused by medications, for example, cortisone preparations,vitamin B complex, iodine compounds, antidepressants or modern anti-tumor preparations.
- Acne venenata (occupational acne/contact acne) affects people who work with oils or tar, for example, or who work in hot and humid environments (smelting furnaces, hot mangles), or it is caused by ingredients in cosmetics that cause blackheads.
Especially if pimples appear on the face, shoulders and chest during puberty, acne should be considered. In order to rule out other skin diseases such as purulent hair follicle inflammations and fungal diseases, as well as rosacea in patients from the middle of the third decade of life, and to initiate treatment, a visit to a dermatologist is advisable.
The diagnosis “acne” can already be made on the basis of the typical appearance. In addition, information on the time of onset, whether there is a rapid progression, other existing (skin) diseases and a family history of acne are very important. The doctor will also ask about cosmetics, the use of medication and dietary habits, as well as whether there is a tendency to scarring.
In order to confirm the diagnosis of acne and to draw up a suitable treatment plan, the doctor may take purulent wound secretions from the pustules or nasal secretions or even blood in severe cases or if an additional infection is suspected. | medical |

These changes take effect January 1, 2018 and apply to all transportation workers –aviation, transit, rail – who are already subject to federal DOT drug tests.
With this update, DOT has expanded the types of drugs it tests for. Beginning January 1st, you will be tested for four additional drugs, specifically semi-synthetic opioids: hydrocodone, oxycodone, hydromorphone, oxymorphone. These semi-synthetic opioids are sold under brand names such as OxyContin, Percodan, Percocet, Vicodin, Lortab, Norco, Dilaudid, and Exalgo, etc. When the changes take effect, DOT drug tests will screen for the use of these drugs:
Marijuana; Hydromorphone; Amphetamine; Cocaine; Oxycodone; Methamphetamine; Codeine; Oxymorphone ; MDMA/MDA; Morphine; 6-Acetylmorphine; Hydrocodone; and Phencyclidine
Under the existing DOT drug testing process, Medical Review Officers (MROs) determine whether there is a legitimate medical explanation for a positive test result, such as taking a legally prescribed drug. With this update, if you test positive for a semi-synthetic opioid, your MRO will downgrade your positive result to negative if you have a legally valid prescription for the drug found in your system.
There are other important things you should know about how this rule impacts you:
There is no time limit on the use of a legally valid prescription. DOT recognizes that there could be an unintended hardship on you if a MRO was able to deny a prescription from being a legitimate medical explanation simply because it took you a longer time to finish taking the drug than expected. As a result, there’s no cutoff date after which the prescription for a drug you’re taking can’t serve as an explanation for a positive result.
MROs cannot deny your prescription from acting as a legitimate medical explanation for a positive test result simply because they believe your doctor should not have prescribed you that medication. But, MROs must review and take all reasonable steps to verify the authenticity of the records you provide, and may contact your doctor for further information to verify your prescription.
Before this rule, MROs were required to report to DOT and employers drug tests results and worker medication information if the MRO believed the information would cause the worker to be medically disqualified or pose a safety risk. Under this rule, before the MRO reports information about your prescription drugs to DOT or employer, the MRO must give you five business days to ask your doctor to call the MRO and determine if the medication can be changed to one that does not pose a significant safety risk. If the MRO determines a medical qualification or safety risk still remains, the MRO will report information about the drugs you’re taking.
Remember that while some state laws allow marijuana use, it is still prohibited by US DOT. If you test positive for marijuana, no prescription can downgrade your positive result to negative.

Clinical pharmacology Zaxime ® kills bacteria by interfering in the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. Zaxime ® binds with high affinity to penicillin binding proteins (PBP) in bacterial cytoplasmic membrane and by acylation of membrane-bound transpeptidase enzymes, prevents cross-linkage of peptidoglycan chains, which is necessary for bacterial cell wall strength and rigidity. Also cell division and growth are inhibited and elongation of susceptible bacteria and lysis frequently occur. Rapidly dividing bacteria are those most susceptible to the action of Zaxime ®. Antibacterial activity Zaxime® has a high degree of stability in the presence of beta-lactamases (penicillinases and cephalosporinases) and, therefore, has excellent activity against a wide spectrum of gram-negative bacteria, including penicillinase-producing strains of N.gonorrhoeae and most enterobacteriaceae (Citrobacter, E.coli Enterobacter, Klebsiella, Morganella, Proteus, Providencia, and Serratia species). Zaxime ® has the most activity of oral cephalosporins against Streptococcus pyogenes, S.pneumonia, and all gram-negative bacilli, including beta-lactamase producing strains of H.influenza, M.catarrhalis and N.gonorrhoeae. Zaxime ® is not as active against gram-positive cocci as are the first and second generation cephalosporins. It has a little activity against Staphylococci and has no activity against pseudomonas species. Pharmacokinetics Oral absorption ~60% Presystemic metabolism -- Plasma half – life 2.5-3.8 h Mean Range 3h Volume of distribution 0.1 l.kg -1 Plasma protein binding 70%
Indication 1-Bronchitis. 2-Bacterial exacerbation of bronchitis. 3-Otitis media. 4-Uncomplicated gonorrhea. 5-Bacterial pharyngitis and tonsillitis. 6-Bacterial urinary tract infections.
Contraindication Zaxime® is contraindicated in patients who have shown hypersensitivity to Cefixime or cephalasporin group of antibiotics.
Precaution • Before Zaxime® administration, previous hypersensitivity reactions to cephalosporins or penicillins must be determined because of cross hypersensitivity among ß-lactams. • Risk-benefit should be considered when history of bleeding disorders, gastrointestinal disease specially ulcerative colitis, regional enteritis or antibiotic associated colitis (Zaxime® may cause pseudomembranous colitis) and hepatic function impairment exist. • For patients with renal function impairment (creatinine clearance <20mL/min) one half the usual adult dose should be used at the same dosing intervals. • Long-term therapy with Zaxime® may allow for the overgrowth of Candida albicans, resulting in oral candidiasis. • Therapy should be continued for at least 10 days in group a beta-hemolytic streptococcal infections to help prevent the occurrence of acute rheumatic fever or glomerulonephritis. Pregnancy Pregnancy category B. Zaxime ® cross the placenta. There are no well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Therefore Zaxime ® should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. Breast feeding It is not known whether Zaxime ® is distributed into breast milk. Consideration should be given to discontinuing nursing temporarily during treatment with this drug.
Dosage Usual adult dose • Bronchitis, bacterial exacerbation of bronchitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis or uncomplicated urinary tract infections: 200 mg every 12 hours or 400 mg once a day. • Uncomplicated cervical or urethral gonorrhea: 400 mg as a single dose. Usual pediatric dose • Bronchitis, bacterial exacerbation of bronchitis, Otitis media, pharyngitis, tonsillitis or uncomplicated urinary tract infections: Children 50 kg of body weight and over: the same as adult dose. Infants and children 6 months to 12 years of age and up to 50 kg of body weight: 4 mg per kg of body weight every 12 hours or 8 mg per kg of body weight once a day. Infants up to 6 months of age: dosage has not been established. Usual geriatric dose Dosing is the same as adult dose. Note: As the oral suspension form of Zaxime ® results in higher peak blood concentrations than the tablet when administrated at the same dose, therefore the tablet should not be substituted for the oral suspension in the treatment of Otitis media.
Administration Reconstitution direction for oral suspension • Add approximately half the total amount of water for reconstitution and shake well, then add more water towards indication line and shake well to get a soft suspension.
Patient consultation • Take Zaxime ® on a full or empty stomach or take with food if gastrointestinal irritation occurs. • Take the medicine in regular intervals and continue medicine for full time of treatment. • If you missed a dose, take as soon as possible, don't take if almost time for next dose and don't double doses. • If there wasn't improvement of symptoms within a few days, check with your physician. • Shake well before using. Warning • If Zaxime® is to be given to penicillin-sensitive patients, caution should be exercised because cross-hypersensitivity among ß-lactam antibiotics has been clearly documented and may occur in up to 7% of patients with a history of penicillin allergy. Interaction • The potential for increased nephrotoxicity exists when Zaxime ® is used with other nephrotoxic medications such as loop diuretics, especially in patients with preexisting renal function impairment. Renal function should be monitored carefully in patients receiving Zaxime® and aminoglycosides concurrently. Laboratory value alteration • Zaxime® may produce false-positive reaction for ketones in urine with tests using nitropruside, also may produce false positive or falsy elevated test results for glucose in the urine with copper reduction tests [Benedict's, Fehling’s]. • A positive Coombs reaction appears frequently in patients who receive large doses of Zaxime ®. • Zaxime ® may prolong prothrombin time. • Administration of Zaxime ® may change the following physiology/laboratory test values: Alanine aminotransferase (ALT [SGPT]), Alkaline phosphatase, Aspartate aminotransferase (AST [SGOT]), Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), Serum bilirubin, Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), Serum Creatinine, Complete blood count (CBC), Platelet count.
Adverse reactions • Most of adverse reactions observed in clinical trials were of a mild and transient nature. The most commonly seen adverse reactions were gastrointestinal events. • The following adverse reactions have been reported but their incidence rates were less than 2%, except as noted above for gastrointestinal events. Those indicating need for medical attention. • Incidence less frequent or rare Hypoprothrombinemia (unusual bleeding or bruising), pseudomembranous colitis (abdominal or stomach cramps and pain, abdominal tenderness. Severe watery and bloody diarrhea, fever).
• Incidence rare Allergic reactions, specifically anaphylaxis, Erythema multiforme or Stevens Johnson syndrome (blistering, peeling or loosening of skin and mucous membranes, which may involves the eyes or the other organ systems) hearing loss, hemolytic anemia, immune, drug – induced (unusual tiredness or weakness, yellowing of the eyes or skin), hypersensitivity reactions, renal dysfunction, serum sickness-like reactions, seizures, thrombophlebitis. Those indicating need for medical attention only if they continue or are bothersome. • Incidence more frequent. Gastrointestinal reactions (abdominal cramps, mild diarrhea, nausea or vomiting) headache, oral candidiasis (sore mouth or tongue), vaginal candidiasis (vaginal itching and discharge).
Overdose In the case of Zaxime® overdosage, gastric lavage may be used to decrease the absorption of Zaxime®.It is not removed in significant quantities from the circulation by hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.

Essential for everyone in today’s world, become a certified First Responder In just ONE day!
Upon completion you will receive your Emergency First responder Identification card and that all Important knowledge and peace of mind and confidence to assist in any emergency.
Our innovative independent study method of delivery helps you learn and remember more whilst keeping it fun. With independent study, your time with your Emergency First Response Instructor is focused on skill development rather than lecture.
Why Emergency First Response?
With award-winning course materials and a simplified approach to training, Emergency First Response makes CPR and first aid easy to learn, giving you the confidence you need to respond in a medical emergency. EFR combines adult, child and infant CPR and first aid skills, and has the option of including Automated External Defibrillator (AED) training and emergency oxygen use. They can be taught together, as stand-alone courses or in any combination. We can customise our course delivery to meet your timing and training needs.
The Emergency First Response is broken down into the following subjects:
- Primary Care (CPR) – This course teaches you the steps and techniques for handling life-threatening emergencies. You’ll practice eight skills for aiding patients who aren’t breathing, have no heartbeat, may have a spinal injury, may be in shock or who may have serious bleeding. You’ll learn to how to perform CPR and continue to monitor the patient, so that you provide every possible chance of survival while waiting for emergency medical services to arrive.
- Secondary Care (First Aid) – Because many medical conditions are not life-threatening and emergency medical services are sometimes delayed or unavailable, this course teaches you how to provide first aid that eases pain and reduces the risk of further harm. You’ll learn to assess a variety of injuries and illnesses and practice bandaging and splinting.
- Care for Children – This course allows participants to learn, practice and apply emergency care skills specific to helping infants and children with medical emergencies. It’s designed for those who work with children or are likely to have to respond to emergencies involving youngsters. This course is often integrated with Primary Care (CPR) and Secondary Care (First Aid) courses.
- CPR & AED – This course focuses on CPR training and teaching participants how to use an AED (automated external defibrillator). When workplace or governmental requirements specify this training, the CPR & AED course meets the need. This course is often integrated into First Aid at Work programs.
- First Aid at Work – In some areas, such as Great Britain, Australia and Canada, governmental regulations call for enhanced CPR and first aid training for the workplace. First Aid at Work programs designed for these areas include additional topics and skills to meet requirements while following the easy to learn EFR approach to training.
- EFR Refresher – It’s a good idea to refresh your CPR and first aid skills every 24 months, and that’s what the EFR Refresher course is designed to do. Focusing on key skills, the course allows you to stay up-to-date and ready to lend aid when needed.

The reasons given are too much hard work for school, far too little exposure to daylight, and lack of time spent outdoors.
Recent research in The Netherlands shows a steep increase in myopia (nearsightedness) among 20 year old students (Klaver, 2017). Myopia is the eye disorder with the most rapid increase in prevalence worldwide. In 1990 only 5% of the school leavers in The Netherlands suffered from myopia. In 2017 this has risen to 50%, and this is likely to increase. It develops in childhood, with a peak incidence between the ages of 13 to 15 years. Myopia developed in childhood cannot be reversed.
The main reasons given for the steep increase is the frequent use of social media on smartphones and iPads, and og computers in general. Children use their eyes too one-sided, namely for nearsight mainly. This results in eyes that change shape to accomodate for this effort. Another negative side-effect of the use of digital devices is the fact that the eyes become too dry. We blink only 10% of the normal amount when watching at a screen.
Other causes, related to the use of digital devices, are a decrease in hours spent outdoors and the decrease in exposure to daylight. In childhood the eyes need both daylight and the exposure to farsightedness.
How can we reverse the myopia epidemic?
Researchers and experts on eyesight have developed a rule-of thumb.
20-20-220 minutes working on a screen
Take a break of at least 20 seconds
Spend at least 2 hours a day outdoors
Additional smart rules for parents and teachers to prevent myopia and other eye problems are:
- Young children (< 6) should not work more than 20-30 minutes a day on a screen.

Drug take-back programs combat prescription drug abuse by removing unused medications from homes and are an environmentally safe method of disposal.
A study by the U.S Geological Survey in 2000 found measurable amounts of one or more medications in 80 percent of water samples drawn from 139 streams in 30 states. These drugs included antibiotics, antidepressants, heart medications and hormones.
According to a 2007 medication collection program in California, half of all medications are discarded. This highlights the enormous need for proper disposal.
Water treatment methods reduce the concentrations of medications in drinking water, but there is still drug pollution in the water we drink. The Associated Press uncovered studies in 2008 that found water supplies in 24 metropolitan areas had detectable levels of medications.
At this time, there is scant evidence that drug pollution in drinking water has an effect on humans. But it is possible that trace amounts of medicines can accumulate and affect more vulnerable populations, such as pregnant women or individuals with disabilities.
Meanwhile, there is plenty of evidence that drug pollution affects wildlife. Studies have shown that estrogen from birth control pills and hormone treatments have polluted water and changed female-to-male ratios within aquatic populations. Fish with both male and female characteristics have been found in the most polluted sections of the Potomac River. Other studies have found antidepressant medications in the brain tissue of fish downstream from wastewater treatment plants.
Drug take-back programs also help to keep prescription drugs off the illegal market. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified prescription drug abuse as one of the top five health threats of 2014. Overdose deaths from prescription opioid medications now exceed deaths from heroin and cocaine overdoses combined.
Drug companies have been fighting the laws requiring them to finance take-back programs. Drug makers claim such laws are unconstitutional. The U.S Supreme Court denied the claims of drug makers in late May, making the costs of take-back programs the responsibility of drug makers.
This Supreme Court decision should encourage other local governments across the country to establish secure drug take-back programs. With funding from drug companies, these programs will not strain local budgets.
In the meantime, safe disposal boxes can be found in local police departments around Connecticut, with drop boxes pending in Bridgeport and Winchester. The FDA also provides instructions for the disposal of unused medicines on their website.

S100 proteins are small calcium-binding proteins that are found at high levels in the extracellular milieu during inflammatory conditions. The UIC inventor has discovered that these proteins possess significant anti-inflammatory and anti-hypoxic activity. It was also shown that S100 proteins inhibit the activation of peripheral neutrophils by activating a specific type of PKC known for its anti-inflammatory activity, and have a protective effect against hypoxia. The two proteins are good potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of deleterious inflammation especially in association with hypoxia / ischemia. The inventor has also shown through in vivo experiments that they can ameliorate cutaneous wound healing in an animal model of hypoxia impaired wounds. | medical |

The horse’s movement is utilized by physical, occupational and speech therapists as a means to help clients work toward their therapy goals in a fun, active and motivating environment. Windridge and Kidz First Therapy collaborate efforts to provide hippotherapy to children with a wide variety of diagnoses.
Hippotherapy is provided three days a week by Kidz First Therapy and Windridge. The therapists are American Hippotherapy Association Level I and II certified therapists and/or board certified Hippotherapy Clinical Specialists (HPCS). They are supported by Windridge’s PATH International certified instructors and volunteers. The horses are specifically trained and selected for use in this program, as well as for each child.
Unlike in the therapeutic riding program, equestrian skills are not a focus in hippotherapy. It is simply therapy that uses the unique movement of the horse as a treatment strategy. The repetitive three-dimensional movement influences multiple systems throughout the body (neurological, muscular, cardiovascular, sensory, respiratory, emotional, visual, etc.) at the same time, making hippotherapy a powerful and effective strategy.
It has been proven that a horse takes approximately 3,000 steps at the walk in 30 minutes. This means a child can receive 3,000 repetitions of natural therapeutic movement that cannot be duplicated in any other traditional therapy setting. Additionally, positions and activities directed by the therapists help optimize the effects of the movement specifically for each child’s needs. | medical |

Australia’s health response to COVID-19 has been world leading.
Australia has one of the lowest fatality rates from COVID-19 in the world, with death rates in the USA and the UK around 10 times higher.
By avoiding the rate of death that other comparable countries have had, Australia has saved tens of thousands.
Australia has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world, ranking 5th amongst advanced economies.
Over 56 million vaccine doses have been administered and more than 95% of Australians aged 16 and older are now fully vaccinated.
The Government committed over $45 billion to the vaccine rollout and our health system in response to COVID-19.
This included the delivery of 9,000 new ventilators and boosting Australia’s National Medical Stockpile with millions of masks, gowns, goggles and ventilators.
We provided better access to healthcare with the introduction of Telehealth. Since the start of the pandemic, over 100 million Telehealth consultations have been provided and Telehealth has now been made permanent.
Over 66 million COVID-19 PCR tests have been conducted – one of the highest testing rates in the world.
To ensure we protect vulnerable Australians, while transitioning to living with COVID-19, we have invested a further $2.1 billion in the Winter Response Plan. This includes a further 161 million units of PPE and 26 million Rapid Antigen Tests distributed to residential aged care facilities.
The Government will continue to back our health system, by guaranteeing record levels of funding for hospitals, medicines, aged care and Medicare.
The Coalition Government has committed to a five-year $18.8 billion plan to improve aged care, with new home care packages, respite services, training places, retention bonuses and infrastructure upgrades.
Under this plan, 40,000 home care packages, over 48,000 additional training places, 7,000 new personal care workers and 8,400 respite services will be rolled out this year.
There are now 233,000 people with access to a home care package, and 275,000 places will be available by 2023.
This year’s Budget provides more than $345 million to embed pharmacy services within residential aged care facilities to improve medication management for the elderly.
Federal funding for public hospitals has already doubled – from $13.3 billion under Labor (in 2012-13) to $27.2 billion (in 2022-23). With our five year hospital agreements it is due to increase to $30.7 billion in 2024-25.
This means record numbers of hospital services, doctors and nurses.
More Australians are now seeing their doctor without having to pay.
The GP bulk billing rate last year (12 months to June 2021) was 88.8%, up from 82.2% in 2012-13 (Labor’s last year in government).
More than 152.2 million bulk billed GP services were delivered in 2020-21 – 46.4 million more than in 2012-13.
In total, more than $27 billion in total Medicare benefits were paid in 2020-21. This will grow to $30.9 billion in 2021-22.
The Morrison Government has made Medicare subsidised telehealth services permanent, enabling over 100 million (as at April 2022) consultations since the pandemic began.
Since we came into government, more than 2,900 new or amended medicine listings worth $16.5 billion have been added to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme.
These medicines help people suffering from cancer, heart disease, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis and chronic migraines.
Some of these cost thousands of dollars, but are now available for $6.80 (concessional) or $42.50 (general patients) per script.
In the recent Budget, our Government has secured access to more affordable medicines, including treatment for breast cancer, asthma, cystic fibrosis, and spinal muscular atrophy.
We have also listed COVID-19 treatments on the PBS to help prevent vulnerable Australians from developing severe illness.
In the 2022 Budget, we provided greater access to cheaper medicines for 2.4 million Australians with fewer scripts needed for free or further discounted medicines.
And to further reduce costs, a re-elected Morrison Government will also lower the PBS Medicines General Co-payment from 1 January 2023 by $10 per script.
This means the maximum price Australians will pay for PBS medicines drops from $42.50 down to $32.50 per script, a 24 per cent saving. Concession card holders pay only $6.80 per script.
This is the first time the PBS Medicine General Co-payment has been reduced by any Government and will benefit the more than 19 million Australians.
Our Government has invested $375 million for more than 50 additional Medicare-eligible MRI machines, enabling more Australians to access scans for cancer, stroke, heart and other conditions.
We’re now building on this with a further $66 million to deregulate access to Medicare funded MRI services in rural and regional Australia. This will increase access to subsidised, clinically-necessary MRI services putting downward pressure on out-of-pocket costs to consumers and reduce the need to travel for these diagnostic scans.
For the first time, Medicare is covering the cost of MRI and PET scans for breast cancer patients – improving diagnosis and treatment.
We will make new treatments and tests available through Medicare including whole of population genetic testing including for cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy and fragile X syndrome (FXS) for couples who are planning pregnancy or who are already pregnant, to support family planning.
We have taken steps to make private health insurance simpler and more affordable.
Reforms have resulted in the lowest premium changes in 21 years (2.7% in 2022).
The Liberal and Nationals Government established the Medical Research Future Fund to provide long term, sustainable funding for research.
Over the next four years, our Government is ensuring record funding of $6.8 billion for medical research.
Since 2013, the Coalition has more than doubled our investment in health and medical research.
We are committed to safeguarding the wellbeing of Australians by boosting mental health support with $6.8 billion in 2022-23, including funding for critical front line services and suicide prevention.
The Government has nearly doubled funding for mental health since 2013, from $3.3 billion.
The Government has doubled the number of Medicare subsidised psychological services available through the Better Access Initiative, from 10 to 20.
More funding is being provided for Lifeline, headspace, Beyond Blue and Kids Helpline.
Our No Jab, No Pay policy means parents must immunise their children (unless there is a valid medical exemption) to receive child care and family payments.
The immunisation rate for five year old children is over 95% – the highest on record.
Children 5 years and older now have access to a free COVID-19 vaccine.
All 12 and 13 year old girls and boys now have free access to the Gardasil 9 Vaccine, to protect them from the HPV virus.
This will protect Australians from cervical and other cancers and save lives.
The Government is also providing the whooping cough vaccine to all pregnant women.
RURAL AND REGIONAL HEALTH
Australians living in rural and regional Australia have access to new services including new regional cancer centres and telehealth services.
Our Stronger Rural Health Strategy is delivering 3,000 more doctors and over 3,000 extra nurses and allied health professionals over the next decade.
DRUG TREATMENT AND PREVENTION
To tackle the scourge of Ice, the Morrison Government will invest more than $800 million over the next four years, including through our National Ice Action Strategy.
This includes funding that has supported over 240 Local Drug Action Teams in communities across Australia.
We’ve also delivered an additional 605 local drug and alcohol services since 2016.
SUPPORT FOR PATIENTS WITH DIABETES
The Morrison Government will expand eligibility for the Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) devices to every Australian with Type 1 diabetes from 1 July 2022.
This means that every Australian with Type 1 diabetes, approximately 130,000 people, will have access to a potentially life-saving CGM device, which could cost up to $5,000 per year without subsidy.
Our Government established the Continuous Glucose Monitoring Scheme in 2017.
HELPING TO END TRANSMISSION OF HIV
The Liberal and Nationals Government has taken a critical step in helping to end the transmission of HIV.
People at medium to high risk of HIV infection now have access to Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme.

There is a fundamental gap in understanding of whether arsenic, a known developmental toxicant, alters maternal immune responses to vaccination and whether exposure to arsenic during pregnancy impairs the transfer of maternal vaccine-induced antibody to the newborn. Moreover, factors known to affect arsenic metabolism and toxicity outcomes, particularly micronutrients critical in one-carbon metabolism, have not been evaluated in studies of arsenic immunotoxicity and vaccine-induced protection in mothers and their newborns. Continued existence of this gap represents an important problem because, until it is filled, optimal points for intervention to prevent arsenic-related immunotoxicity and morbidity during pregnancy and early life will not be known. Our objective is to investigate how maternal arsenic exposure and one-carbon metabolism micronutrient deficiencies alter maternal and newborn influenza antibody titer and avidity, respiratory morbidity, and measures of systemic immune function following maternal influenza vaccination. Our hypothesis is that maternal arsenic exposure and one-carbon metabolism micronutrient deficiencies can alter maternal and newborn influenza antibody titer and avidity, respiratory morbidity, and systemic immune function following influenza vaccination during pregnancy. | medical |
