You are receiving this notice because your healthcare provider participates in a non-profit, non-governmental health information exchange (HIE) called Health Current. It will not cost you anything and can help your doctor, healthcare providers, and health plans better coordinate your care by securely sharing your health information. This Notice explains how the HIE works and will help you understand your rights regarding the HIE under state and federal law.
How does Health Current help you to get better care?
In a paper-based record system, your health information is mailed or faxed to your doctor, but sometimes these records are lost or don't arrive in time for your appointment. If you allow your health information to be shared through the HIE, your doctors are able to access it electronically in a secure and timely manner.
What health information is available through Health Current?
The following types of health information may be available:
- Hospital records
- Medical history
- Lab test results
- Radiology reports
- Clinic and doctor visit information
- Health plan enrollment and eligibility
- Other information helpful for your treatment
Who can view your health information through Health Current and when can it be shared?
People involved in your care will have access to your health information. This may include your doctors, nurses, other healthcare providers, health plan and any organization or person who is working on behalf of your healthcare providers and health plan. They may access your information for treatment, care coordination, care or case management, transition of care planning and population health services.
You may permit others to access your health information by signing an authorization form. They may only access the health information described in the authorization form for the purposes stated on that form. Health Current may also use your health information as required by law and as necessary to perform services for healthcare providers, health plans and others participating with Health Current.
The Health Current Board of Directors can expand the reasons why healthcare providers and others may access your health information in the future as long as the access is permitted by law. That information is on the Health Current website at healthcurrent.org/permitted-use.
Does Health Current receive behavioral health information and if so, who can access it?
Health Current does receive behavioral health information, including substance abuse treatment records. Federal law gives special confidentiality protection to substance abuse treatment records from federally-assisted substance abuse treatment programs. Health Current keeps these protected substance abuse treatment records separate from the rest of your health information. Health Current will only share the substance abuse treatment records it receives from these programs in two cases.
One, medical personnel may access this information in a medical emergency. Two, you may sign a consent form giving your healthcare provider or others access to this information.
How is your health information protected?
Federal and state laws, such as HIPAA, protect the confidentiality of your health information. Your information is shared using secure transmission. Health Current has security measures in place to prevent someone who is not authorized from having access. Each person has a username and password, and the system records all access to your information.
Your Rights Regarding Secure Electronic Information Sharing
You have the right to:
- Ask for a copy of your health information that is available through Health Current. Contact your healthcare provider and you can get a copy within 30 days.
- Request to have any information in the HIE corrected. If any information in the HIE is incorrect, you can ask your healthcare provider to correct the information.
- Ask for a list of people who have viewed your information through Health Current. Contact your healthcare provider and you can get a copy within 30 days. Please let your healthcare provider know if you think someone has viewed your information who should not have.

- You may exclude some information from being shared. For example, if you see a doctor and you do not want that information shared with others, you can prevent it. On the Opt Out Form, fill in the name of the healthcare provider for the information that you do not want shared with others.
Caution: If that healthcare provider works for an organization (like a hospital or a group of physicians), all your information from that hospital or group of physicians may be blocked from view.
- If you opt out today, you can change your mind at any time by completing an Opt Back In Form that you can obtain from your healthcare provider.
- If you do nothing today and allow your health information to be shared through Health Current, you may opt out in the future.

As you make this transition, you are bound to encounter many obstacles as you begin to feminise your appearance. Something that many transgender women need to contend with is unwanted hair. Of course, when girls are born female, they have the privilege of being guided through this minefield by their parents, but transitioning as an adult, with no prior body hair removal experience is a challenge. These are your hair removal options:
Electrolysis. The huge benefit of electrolysis is that it's a permanent hair removal solution, unlike something like shaving or waxing. For many transgender women, the growth of body hair can be a reminder of the person they once were, and you may just want to be rid of it altogether with some help from electrolysis. The downfall of this procedure is that it is costly and you'll have to return to the clinic many times before the process is complete. Once it's done, however, you'll be hair free forever. You may experience some redness, itchiness, or dryness for some time after the electric probes are used, but it could worth this for the long-term results.
Laser hair removal. You've no doubt heard of laser hair removal before, but many people don't realise that this procedure doesn't totally remove unwanted hairs. It actually makes them lighter and finer over a period of time. People with light skin and dark hair tend to see the best results with laser hair removal, so if you are Latina or black, this might not be the best option for you. And, again, you have to schedule a number of appointments to see the results you are looking for.
Waxing. Waxing can be applied to every part of the body, and it's a really quick way of removing unwanted hair. Just be aware that the hot wax is going to rip the hairs out of their follicles and if you have very thick, coarse hair, this can be painful. If that's the case, it might be worth thinning the hairs out with laser treatments and then opting for a wax. Although it can sting a little in the moment, waxing removes all unwanted hair, and leaves your skin feeling smooth.
Whichever procedure you opt for, be sure to exfoliate regularly because this will prevent the onset of ingrown hairs after a hair removal procedure. Dry skin can also cause ingrown hairs so keep that skin soft and supple by moisturising daily. | medical |

Embarking on the miraculous journey of motherhood is a beautiful and transformative experience, with many physical and emotional changes. One of the most noticeable shifts occurs in a woman's breasts, as they prepare to nurture and nourish new life. Whether you're an expectant mother or simply curious about the incredible ways a woman's body adapts during pregnancy and postpartum, this friendly guide will walk you through each stage of this remarkable process.
First Trimester: The Tender Beginning
As the thrilling journey of motherhood begins, many expectant mothers notice some of the earliest physical changes in their breasts. During the first trimester, hormonal shifts, particularly in estrogen and progesterone, set the stage for breast growth. These hormones stimulate the mammary glands to prepare for milk production, often causing increased tenderness and sensitivity. For some, the areolas – the darker skin surrounding the nipples – may also become larger and darker.
Second Trimester: An Abundance of Change
Moving into the second trimester, a mother's breasts will continue to undergo transformations. The milk-producing structures in the breast begin to develop, and breast tissue becomes denser as it fills with ducts and lobules. These changes may cause the breasts to feel heavier or fuller. As the body adapts to accommodate the growing fetus, a mother may notice her breasts increasing in size, sometimes even by a full cup or more.
Third Trimester: The Countdown to Motherhood
As the third trimester unfolds, the breasts are primed for nursing. The Montgomery glands – small, oil-producing glands on the areolas – become more prominent, secreting a lubricant that helps protect the skin during breastfeeding. Some women may also notice a yellowish, thick fluid called colostrum, the "first milk," leaking from their nipples. This nutrient-rich substance will be the newborn's initial sustenance after birth.
Postpartum: The Miracle of Milk
Following childbirth, the breasts enter a dynamic stage as they transition to lactation. Prolactin, the hormone responsible for milk production, is released in response to the baby's suckling. Within a few days, the colostrum will be replaced by mature breast milk, which is thinner and more abundant. During this period, it is not uncommon for breasts to feel engorged, swollen, or even painful as the milk supply adjusts to the baby's needs.
Breastfeeding: A Bonding Experience
Breastfeeding not only provides essential nourishment for the infant but also fosters a unique bond between mother and child. The act of nursing triggers the release of oxytocin, the "love hormone," which promotes feelings of relaxation, attachment, and affection. This intimate connection can serve as a source of comfort and support throughout the challenges of new motherhood.
Weaning: The Gradual Goodbye
When the time comes to wean the baby from the breast, the process should ideally be gradual and gentle. As the frequency of nursing decreases, the breasts will produce less milk, eventually returning to their non-lactating state. It is important to note that the breast tissue may not revert precisely to its pre-pregnancy size or shape, and some mothers may experience temporary tenderness or discomfort during this transition.
A New Chapter: Embracing the Transformation
Throughout pregnancy and postpartum, a woman's body undergoes remarkable changes, particularly in her breasts. These transformations are a testament to the power and resilience of motherhood, and they should be embraced with pride. As expecting mothers prepare for the adventure ahead, it is essential to remember that each journey is unique, and the bond that blossoms between mother and child will be a source of strength and love that endures a lifetime | medical |

Mold infection symptoms can vary greatly depending on the type of mold infection you have, your age, the current state of your health and how strong your immune system is.
Mold pollution is a key element of indoor air pollution that few people are aware of or understand, and even fewer people consider as a serious cause of health problems.
Mold in your home, school or workplace can pose a number of serious health problems that you may not realize are related to mold exposure.
Some experts believe that up to 40 percent of schools and 30 percent of homes in western countries have mold infestations, unknown to those that live in those buildings. I believe that in hot, humid and damp climates such as here in Bali, those figures could well be a lot higher.
Serious health effects of mold may be reaching pandemic levels.
Mold Infections Can Be Deadly
You may not be aware that molds can make you extremely sick, or even kill you. Yes that’s correct, they can cause potentially fatal health issues.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) all molds have the potential to cause ill health. How sick you become will depend on many factors: the type of mold, what type of exposure you have had and for how long, how old you are and how healthy you are.
At a 2003 environmental medicine symposium in Dallas, studies of more than 1,600 patients suffering health issues related to fungal exposure were presented. These patients experienced major medical problems, including the following mold symptoms and signs of mold exposure:
- Muscle and joint pain
- Shortness of breath
- Headache, anxiety, depression, memory loss, and visual disturbances
- Immune system disturbances and fatigue
- Gastro-intestinal problems
It is important to be aware of these potential problems because your physician may NOT be, as mold infections are not commonly acknowledge by most medical professionals who may not be aware that what you are presenting with are in fact mold infection symptoms.
Mold’s Favorite Places in Your Home
Molds can grow on virtually any substance, provided moisture and oxygen are present. There are molds that can grow on wood, paper, carpet, tile, sheetrock, insulation, leather, fabrics and foods. Molds digest whatever substrate they are growing on, for example your floorboards. It is impossible to eliminate all mold and mold spores from your indoor environment; the only way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture. The most common indoor places for mold to take hold are areas such as:
- Bathrooms and kitchens, especially under sinks
- Behind or under appliances that hide slow plumbing leaks (refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, etc.)
- Roof leaks
- Around windows where condensation collects
- High humidity areas of your home, such as basements
Often, the first sign of a mold problem is a “musty” odor. You are probably familiar with the smell of mildew—mildew is simply a variety of mold. You may also notice buckled floorboards, discolored carpet, a new water stain on your wall, or black or white specks—all signs you could be developing a mold problem. But what type of life form is mold?
Types of Molds
Mold is a type of fungus (like mushrooms and yeasts). There are between 100,000 and 400,000 types of fungi (estimates vary), and of these, scientists have identified more than 1,000 types of mold growing inside houses. Molds are classified into three groups according to human responses:
- Allergenic Molds: These don’t usually produce dangerous effects however they can cause problems if you are allergic or asthmatic. Children are particularly susceptible to mold allergies.
- Pathogenic Molds: These produce some sort of infection, which is of particular concern if your immune system is suppressed. They can cause hypersensitivity pneumonitis, an acute response resembling bacterial pneumonia. An example is Aspergillus fumigatus, which can grow in the lungs of immune-compromised individuals.
- Toxic Molds: These dangerous molds produce mycotoxins, which can have serious health effects on almost anyone. Possible reactions include immunosuppression and cancer. Mycotoxins are chemical toxins present within or on the surface of the mold spore, which you then unwittingly inhale, ingest, or touch. An example of this is aflatoxin, one of the most potent carcinogens known to mankind. Aflatoxin grows on peanuts and grains, and on some other foods.
The five most common indoor mold varieties are:
- Alternaria: This is found in your nose, mouth and upper respiratory tract; can cause allergic responses.
- Aspergillus: This is found in warm, extremely damp climates and produces mycotoxins; can cause lung infections (aspergillosis).
- Cladosporium: This very common outdoor fungus can find its way indoors to grow on textiles, wood and other damp, porous materials; triggers hay fever and asthma symptoms.
- Penicillium: Very common species found on wallpaper, decaying fabrics, carpet, and fiberglass duct insulation; known for causing allergies and asthma; some species produce mycotoxins, one being the common antibiotic penicillin.
- Stachybotrys: Extremely toxic “black mold” that produces mycotoxins that can cause serious breathing difficulties and bleeding of the lungs, among other health problems; thankfully, less common in homes than the other four, but not rare; found on wood or paper (cellulose products), but NOT on concrete, linoleum or tile
Mycotoxins: Deadly Poisons
Molds produce a number of powerful substances that can cause very serious health consequences and even death.
Some mold compounds are volatile and released directly into the air, known as microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs). Fragments of the cell walls of molds can also be inhaled and cause inflammatory respiratory reactions, including a flu-like illness called Organic Dust Toxic Syndrome (ODTS).
But the most serious danger comes from highly poisonous agents called mycotoxins.
More than 200 mycotoxins have been identified from common molds. Mycotoxins interfere with RNA synthesis and may cause DNA damage. The mycotoxins most commonly studied by researchers are the trichothecenes, produced by Stachybotyrs chartarum and Aspergillus versicolor. Mycotoxins, even in very tiny quantities, are lipid-soluble and readily absorbed by your intestinal lining, airways and skin. Some are so poisonous that they have been studied and developed as biological warfare agents as far back as the 1940s. Aflatoxin and trichothecenes are examples.
Dead mold spores that are no longer able to reproduce can still harm your health due to these mycotoxins.. The spores do not produce the toxins—rather, it is thought that the toxins are produced when the spores are produced, by the mold colony.
Mycotoxins can affect virtually every organ or system of your body, for example:
Vascular System: blood vessel fragility, hemorrhage from tissues or lungs.
Respiratory System: breathing problems, bleeding from lungs.
Skin: rashes, burning, sloughing, photosensitivity.
Reproductive System: infertility, irregular menstrual cycles.
Digestive System: diarrhea, vomiting, hemorrhage, liver damage, fibrosis and necrosis.
Neurological System: headaches, tremors, depression, loss of coordination, multiple sclerosis.
Urinary System: kidney toxicity and failure.
Immune: Immunosuppression and associated immune deficiencies leading to serious infections and possibly cancers.
Mold sinus infection is also exceedingly common and very often misdiagnosed.
A 1999 Mayo Clinic press release stated:
“Mayo Clinic researchers say they have found the cause of most chronic sinus infections—an immune system response to fungus.
This points to an enormous number of chronic sinus infections that are being misdiagnosed and mistreated!
Treatment For Mold Infection
Most doctors will probably use either all or some of the following for treating mold infections: nasal corticosteroids, antibiotics, antidepressants, and antifungal medications. Steroids lead to a suppression of your immune system if used in high doses and would be counterproductive long term in my opinion.
Antibiotics are not effective against fungal or mold infections and would only cause further problems. Antidepressants tend to be used when the doctor doesn’t believe you have a mold infection and feels that your problems are in your head.
Antifungal drugs are quite toxic, especially to your liver. For example, the drug Lamisil (terbinafine), used to treat toenail fungus, is so toxic that its manufacturer Novartis warns you in their product insert that Lamisil has resulted in liver failure, the need for liver transplants, and death.
Nystatin is another antifungal that is used both orally and topically for Candida overgrowth. However, nystatin is poorly absorbed by your gastrointestinal tract and is not intended to treat mold infections or systemic fungal disease.
Fungi, including yeast and molds, need sugar in order to survive. So what you put into your body is very important when it comes to your recovery from a mold infection.
Fungi will thrive on a diet high in fructose, sucrose (table sugar), lactose (milk sugar) and other sugars, so you are best served to starve them of these foods in order to attempt to remove them from your body.
Combine this with an intense whole body detoxification and mold removal program and you will be on your way to ridding your self of any mold or fungal infection once and for all and eliminating all of your mold infection symptoms. | medical |

Environmental and work hazards merely add to the toll on the liver."
(see also Dr.Anderson's statement below regarding the liver and cleansing)
Toxins exist everywhere and can lead to serious health problems. They are in food and the environment, and persist because of our insufficient metabolic ability to rid the body of all that we are exposed to on a daily basis. They can drain the body of energy and make one more susceptible to disease and infection. Toxins tend to concentrate in the liver and gastrointestinal tract, both places responsible for eliminating toxins from the body.
Through detoxification, we clear and filter toxins and wastes and allow our body to work on enhancing its basic functions.
Our body handles toxins by neutralizing, transforming, or eliminating them. As examples, many antioxidant nutrients may neutralize free-radical molecules. The liver helps transform many toxic substances into harmless agents, while the blood carries wastes to the kidneys; the liver also dumps wastes through the bile into the intestines, where much waste is eliminated. We also clear toxins through sweating, from exercise or heat. Our sinuses and skin may also be accessory elimination organs whereby excess mucus or toxins can be released, as with sinus congestion or skin rashes, respectively.
The average diet which tends to be high in sugars and refined products and low in fiber contributes to the build up of "mucoid plaque" along the gastrointestinal tract.
This "mucoid plaque " prevents proper digestion, and as a result a large percentage of people are suffering from malnutrition no matter how much they eat, or how nutritious the food is.
Fiber is very important in the process of elimination of wastes from the bowel and a lack of fiber can lead to muscles of the colon wall losing their tone which can result in IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome now affecting one in five Americans) and diverticulitis.
The liver is one of the main keys to good health and vitality. Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic Traditions has long recognized this importance. There are over 500 known functions of the liver, many of which are essential for life, all of which are essential for good health and vitality. It is almost impossible for any disease condition to develop until the liver becomes sluggish and weak. The average person is using only 40% of the liver's capacity.
Ashitaba has long been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to strengthen the liver and kidneys, reduce congestion in the liver and purify the blood - enhancing the body's own ability to heal itself.
Dr. Anderson has explained in his new books, "Cleanse & Purify Thyself Book One" and "Cleanse & Purify Thyself Book Two," that: "The digestive system is the hub of the entire body. It feeds all our glands, organs and in fact, every single cell. When the digestive system becomes sluggish, over-acid, and toxic it becomes less and less efficient. After the bowel becomes unnaturally acidic, it attempts to protect itself by secreting a glycoprotein substance that lines the entire intestinal wall, 'mucoid plaque.' Indeed, this condition can occur anywhere in the digestive tract where over acidity arises, including the esophagus, the stomach, the entire small intestine and colon. Once this develops, proper digestion becomes more and more dysfunctional. Then one problem occurs after another, and the bowel becomes a toxic sewer system. Once the bowel becomes toxic, the blood becomes toxic, for all the blood coming from the bowel, carrying the necessary nutrients to feed the heart, lungs, brain, muscles, etc. goes to the liver - nowhere else.
Then the liver must deal with the toxic blood. After years of relentless toxicity from the bowel, the liver becomes more and more sluggish. After a while it no longer functions efficiently and toxic overloads begin to go to other parts of the body, such as the kidneys, heart, brain, joints, skin, Lymph, etc. Disease manifests where the toxins settle. For when there is toxic settlement, there is lack of circulation, lack of oxygen and nutrients." | medical |

Unfortunately, yes.
Just when fentanyl seems maximally destructive — addicting more youth, driving up overdoses and deaths — an even more dangerous drug, xylazine, has infiltrated the fentanyl supply, making the deadliest drug in the nation even deadlier.
Fentanyl powder and pills are now commonly laced with xylazine, a highly addictive animal tranquilizer known on the street as “tranq” and “the zombie drug.”
“Most people addicted to xylazine don’t even know they’re taking it,” says Brian Dawson, M.D., chief medical officer of Ideal Option. “It’s just like when the fentanyl era began, and people who bought oxy on the street didn’t know they were taking fentanyl.”
Ideal Option recently became one of the first networks of treatment centers to test for xylazine at its in-house laboratory, to ensure patients receive appropriate treatment.
As a sedative, rather than an opioid, xylazine has its own set of risks, including perilous sedation, high blood pressure, seizures, and respiratory depression. Users can persist in a blackout stupor for hours, only to emerge with a desperate urge for more.
Xylazine has gained notoriety for the gaping flesh wounds it can cause, sometimes necessitating limb amputation. The wounds can surface far from the injection sites, often on the forearms and shins, and can develop even in people who smoke or snort drugs xylazine-laced drugs.
What’s more, a xylazine overdose can’t be reversed with Narcan (naloxone), the life-saving nasal spray that counteracts the effects of opioids. When a patient overdoses on xylazine-laced fentanyl, the sedative effects of xylazine may require CPR as well as Narcan.
However, emergency responders who are unaware an overdose victim has taken xylazine may inadvertently administer too much Narcan, triggering particularly intense withdrawal symptoms.
There’s no shortage of horrors associated with xylazine.
“If you become dependent on fentanyl that is mixed with xylazine, it’s more addictive than fentanyl alone,” says Dr. Dawson. “And withdrawal is even worse, because you’re dealing with withdrawal from both drugs.”
Nausea, vomiting, anxiety, chills, sweats, and restless legs — fentanyl withdrawal symptoms are miserable enough. But xylazine withdrawal is even more excruciating, triggering migraines, double vision, numbness in fingers and toes, and sharp chest pains.
As one former user described it, “When you start getting sick from the tranq, you start shaking violently, salivating, and vomiting.”
What all this means for individuals who use xylazine-laced fentanyl: a greater risk of fatal overdose and a more complicated route to recovery.
Still, with medical guidance, recovery from addiction to xylazine is possible. The first step is to identify which substances are in your system.
“Most treatment centers are unable to test for xylazine, so they don’t know whether patients have it in their system,” notes Dawson.
In fact, xylazine is typically detected only after an overdose death, when a toxicology test is conducted, or when the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) analyzes confiscated samples.
Thanks to specialized protocols and in-house laboratory services, Ideal Option can now test patients for xylazine which is good news for individual patients but also for the 11 states where the company operates its clinics as Ideal Option makes all of its’ testing data freely available to the public.
Even with limited testing data, the DEA has found xylazine in nearly every state and in about 25% of fentanyl powder samples, though rates vary from state to state. On the East coast, roughly 25% to 50% of the fentanyl is likely cut with xylazine. On the west coast, the percentage is lower, says Dr. Dawson, “but that could explode and eventually it could be everywhere.”
One study, conducted by Philadelphia’s health department, detected xylazine in over 90% of confiscated drug samples.
“The dealers and cartels are always evolving their product, with stronger substances and more variety, to get people more dependent on multiple types of drugs,” says Dr. Dawson.
In response, medical providers like Ideal Option are constantly evolving their treatment protocols.
“For those with dependence, it is important to come to a place like Ideal Option, which has the ability to test for xylazine and uses the most up-to-date treatment options for all substances of addiction,” says Dr. Dawson.
The reason is that different substances must be tackled with different medications.
With fentanyl, the goal is to transition to Suboxone (buprenorphine), a medication proven to suppress opioid withdrawal symptoms and cravings and considered indispensable to recovery.
Xylazine is so new that guidelines for treating long-term dependence don’t exist. The current strategy is to treat xylazine withdrawal with safer sedatives known to reduce anxiety and restlessness and medication to lower the risk of seizure.
“Withdrawal from sedatives has to be treated with other sedatives,” says Dr. Dawson.
For addiction to both drugs, the biggest hurdle is the first 24 hours, when withdrawal can be excruciating.
“The best option is to undergo medically monitored detox,” says Dr. Dawson. “A provider can prescribe more intensive withdrawal medications to essentially knock you out for the first 24 hours, to get you through the worst of it.”
In most cases it is possible to detox at home, with the help of a responsible friend or family member, but for patients dependent on both xylazine and fentanyl, Dr. Dawson recommends inpatient detox so providers can adjust medications on the fly if symptoms become unbearable.
Once a xylazine-fentanyl patient has completed detox, ongoing treatment for fentanyl addiction — ideally with Suboxone, emotional support, and any needed mental health treatment — may offer the patient enough stability to sustain recovery from both addictions. Maintaining contact with an addiction-medicine provider is critical.
Though xylazine has seemingly come out of nowhere, the drug has been around since the 1960s. Developed for veterinary procedures, xylazine is used for anesthesia and pain relief in large animals, such as horses, cattle, and sheep.
The drug was never approved by the FDA for use in humans because early trials found it caused severe sedation and depression of the central nervous system.
Xylazine began creeping into the illegal drug supply in the early 2000s and swept Philadelphia between 2016 and 2019. During the pandemic, xylazine became more prevalent as a cheap way to extend the high from fentanyl.
For years, xylazine was not on the radar of law enforcement because it has not been classified as a controlled substance. However, the current crisis is sparking new state laws governing xylazine.
Today, xylazine is poised to become a nationwide emergency, compounding the one we already have.
“I’m definitely worried,” says Dr. Dawson. “Xylazine is going to make it more complicated for patients to get off of fentanyl.” | medical |

Conversations around sexual assault can be very difficult. If you need to talk with someone, you can always talk with advocates at The SAFE Alliance by phone at 512.267.SAFE (7233), by text at 737.888.7233, or by chat at safeaustin.org/chat.
And if you think that you or someone you know may have been sexually assaulted, there are options. Remember that rape is never your fault, no matter the circumstances.
Regardless of your age, gender, sexual orientation, or immigration status, SAFE can provide you:
- A safe, confidential, and free medical forensic exam at SAFE’s Eloise House with gentle, specially qualified nurses. They can provide both medical care and evidence collection. If there is any part of the exam you are uncomfortable with, you can skip it. If possible, do not change clothes, shower, brush your teeth, eat or drink, or use the bathroom until after your exam. If you have already done any of these things, it’s okay. Call the SAFEline to arrange an exam.
- Advice and support for seeing your own doctor or going to an emergency room. You can see your own doctor for medications to prevent sexually transmitted infections and to check to be sure you’re okay. You can also go to a hospital emergency room if you need emergency care. A specially trained advocate can meet you there 24/7 to provide support and information. Ask the hospital to call SAFE’s forensic dispatch line or you can call the SAFEline at 512.267.SAFE (7233) or text 737.888.7233. | medical |

Ambien has a moderate hypnotic action and is used for the treatment of insomnia and a restoration of sleep. Ambien has Zolpidem ingredient.
According to its efficiency, it is not worse that benzodiazepines but it is better tolerated and does not cause many side effects.
The active ingredients of Ambien are quickly absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract, and a human experiences light sleepiness in 20-25 minutes after the use of a one-time dose.
An elimination half-life of the active ingredients of Ambien is also short (about 2 hours).
Ambien is a drug of the narrow action. Its main task consists in the improvement of the sleep quality. Using the drug shortens a period of falling asleep and a number of the night awakenings grows down.
Ambien may be used by people with situational or chronic insomnia and unstable working schedule, during moving to another time zone, and others.
Ambien is characterized by the central myorelaxing and anti-convulsive effects (but weaker than in benzodiazepines).
Administration and dosage of Ambien
As Ambien acts quickly, it is used 30-40 minutes before sleeping. It is better to take a pill of Ambien and go to bed in 10-15 minutes. During the complete relaxation and turned off light, the drug acts faster.
Patients at the age of 18 to 65 should begin the insomnia treatment from the minimal dose of Ambien 10 mg. This dose is enough for most people in order to improve the quality of sleep.
In rare cases, Ambien 10 mg turns out ineffective and a dose is increased up to 15-20 mg per day. The maximal daily dose of Ambien is 20 mg.
The use of higher doses may cause severe side effects. Senior patients (over 65) should take not more than 5 mg of Ambien per day.
A general length of the continuous use of Ambien should not exceed 28 days. A longer use of the drug may cause a development of the tolerance, and a medical addiction may occur during the increased dose.
Recommendations for the use
- Alcohol and other products inhibiting the central nervous system significantly increase a hypnotic effect of Ambien, and it may cause dangerous complications. If you are taking Ambien, refuse from other drugs of the sedative action and alcohol
- Patients under 18 years old and pregnant women are not recommended to use Ambien
- The symptoms of the night apnea or respiratory distress may grow due to the use of Ambien. If you have issues with a respiratory center (its low function), refuse from the use of Ambien
- As Ambien does not cause a daily sleepiness, it is still necessary to be careful during driving or doing potentially dangerous activity
The side effect of Ambien depends on the daily dose. Using 10 mg of Ambien per day, the side effects are unlikely. In rare cases, the appearance of the muscle weakness, confusion, short-term dizziness may happen.
However, the use of Ambien 20 mg may increase the side effects (especially during the high sensitivity to Zolpidem): day-time sleepiness, headache, dry mouth, psychopathological reactions, disorder of the sexual desire, and skin rash. | medical |

This is a highly contagious disease that affects a pet’s gastrointestinal system. Canine Parvovirus is spread through dog faeces, and can lie dormant in the soil for up to two years. This could make your local dog park, beach, or dirt running track a danger to an UNVACCINATED dog!
Canine Parvovirus is endemic in Australia. Currently there are outbreaks in the Northern Territory and Queensland, but there was an outbreak in Sydney last year. Symptoms to watch out for in your dogs are severe lethargy; vomiting; and the sudden onset of diarrhoea, often with blood.
Please make sure that you vaccinate your furbabies, and keep them up to date!

Visceral fat is linked to bad cholesterol, diabetes, stroke, and heart disease. Subcutaneous fat is superficial fat found just under the skin which does not pose such serious health risks. Subcutaneous fat is also much easier to lose than visceral fat. The key thing to take away here is women may store more fat, but it tends to be less dangerous than fat stored by men.
Pregnancy – A women's body is constantly preparing itself to nourish a pregnancy. Because of this, women's bodies tend to store more fat even when they are not increasing their caloric intake.
In short, ideal body fat percentage is higher for women because of how they store fat, the type of fat that develops, and their body's tendency to store additional fat.
Remember, when measuring your body fat percentage; do not compare your results to that of the opposite gender. Body fat percentage is definitely a test where you want to remain gender specific! | medical |

A Randomised Trial.
Pre-emptive analgesic effect of paracetamol and ibuprofen in tooth extraction.
Keywords:Intra-alveolar extraction, Pain, Paracetamol, Ibuprofen, Placebo
Objective: Pain is one of the most common postoperative complications of extraction. Thus, this study is aimed at determining the pre-emptive effectiveness of paracetamol and ibuprofen in the management of post extraction pain.
Methods: A randomized, placebo‐controlled, single‐blinded comparative study of patients who needed intra-alveolar extraction of posterior teeth. Sixty‐nine patients aged 18 years and above were randomly assigned to one of three groups: (A) paracetamol 1g; (B) ibuprofen 400mg; and (C) placebo (calcium lactate) 300mg. Each of the three tablets was given 30 minutes before administration of the local anesthetic agent. The pain level was assessed using the visual analogue scale®. Chi-square (X²) test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with an appropriate post-hoc test was used. Level of significance was set at 95% (p-value < 0.05).
Results: Ibuprofen and paracetamol groups showed lower pain scores compared to placebo. Although, there was no significant difference between the VAS scores at the post-operative period (P= 0.080). There was a significant difference in time taken for use of rescue medication among the three groups (p = 0.022), with those in placebo group 8 times more likely to use rescue medication relative to the analgesics.
Conclusion: The use of preemptive analgesics showed lower pain scores compared to placebo, and also significantly increased the time for use of rescue medication postoperatively.

The problem could be especially bad for the South and Southwest regions of the United States, where mild winters have failed to kill off much of the tick population.
An increase in tick infestations means more problems than just Lyme Disease. Ticks can carry a variety of diseases, causing anything from muscle aches to nausea. In severe cases, however, people can die from complications of tick bites. To say nothing of the threat to dogs.
Officials are warning everyone to be aware of the presence of ticks as the summer carries on. The problem multiplies as people spend more time outside, increasing the odds of contracting tick diseases.
The population increase is on account of the relatively mild winter in the United States this year, which allowed for continued breeding of ticks during months where they are typically dormant.
“With the mild winter they are going to be more abundant,” Fort Worth Pest and Termite Services president Rodney Beaman said.
Beaman said his primary concern in North Texas would be for trail riders or runners, people who walk their dogs in the woods or those who hike or camp. He, and others, advise people who spend time in tall grass or in the woods check themselves for ticks as soon as they can.
Wired reports that the Powassan virus (POW for short) is another disease spread by deer ticks, often in the northeast. It causes the brain to swell, and there is no effective treatment.
With no treatment available, half of all people who contract the virus suffer permanent brain damage; 10 percent die. And while POW is nowhere near as prevalent as that other tick-borne summer scourge—Lyme—it is starting to show up more often.
Scientists estimate that POW is only prevalent in about 4 percent of deer ticks, way lower than the 30 to 40 percent prevalence of Lyme disease. But here’s the thing. Lyme disease, which is caused by a spiral-shaped bacterium, takes about 48 hours to transmit; if you find a tick on your body and remove it within a day or two, you can usually escape a Lyme infection. POW, on the other hand, goes from the tick’s body, through its saliva, and into your bloodstream within a few minutes of a bite. So even though it’s not in many ticks, if the right one gets you, there’s not much you can do.
“Lone Star tick carries ehrlichiosis,” he says, which causes “mild body aches or severe fever. It’s not deadly, but it’s unpleasant. We don’t know what the long-term problems are. Rocky Mountain Fever is also tick-carried. It’s not common, but it is found here.”
The Morning News also suggests the best way to remove ticks is not with vaseline or nail polish, as many suggest. Instead, use the old standby: tweezers.
*Snatch the tick as close as possible to the skin’s surface.
*Pull upward using steady, even pressure. Avoid twisting or jerking, which could cause mouth pieces to stay inside. If they do, and you can’t get them out, don’t panic. Just leave it be, and let the skin heal.
*After it’s out, clean your skin with rubbing alcohol, soap and water, or an iodine scrub.
*If the tick is still alive, refrain from crushing it between your fingers. Instead, get satisfaction by submerging it in alcohol, putting it in a sealed container or plastic bag, or flushing it down the toilet. | medical |

When we have an appointment with the dentist, we realize that there’s another professional who attends us often. We refer to the dental assistant. The dental assistant is a constant figure during most treatments since he is the one who accompanies the dentist in his functions. Also, who performs some basic procedures and advises us on many issues. Have you ever asked yourself “how to find a dental assistant near me?” Just keep reading!
Below we detail what are the functions that this professional does.
The dental assistant, a multidisciplinary professional
In the same way that the nurse assists and complements the functions of the doctor, the dental assistant works in conjunction with the dentist. For this reason, they are usually handing in hand in clinics and other health centers.
For this, he receives training in basic anatomy and pharmacology, as well as inpatient care. He may also specialize in surgery and prosthetics. In this way, the professional is shown with a clear multidisciplinary profile to perform different tasks and fulfill a fundamental role at all times. Basically, he must be able to act quickly and precisely.
However, this versatility will be subject to the needs of the clinic, which will vary depending on the size and number of professionals. The larger it is, the more narrow the tasks may be. A fairly large clinic may have more than 5 dental assistants. The dental assistant is one of the most important pillars for the continuity of the operation of a dental clinic.
Dental aid and dental hygiene techniques
First, the dental assistant is trained to do some basic dental hygiene procedures. For example, in cases of stains, cavities, or dental plaque. For this, he can use tools such as suction equipment, probes, tweezers, or the drill, of course with close supervision by the dentist. In addition, this same block includes dental aid techniques, provided that the assistant has received some specific training sections, such as the following:
– Collaboration in surgical techniques giving support to the dentist.
– Application of local anesthesia.
– Making dental impressions and casts on plaster structures for diagnosis.
– Preparation of monograms and application of the different existing dental nomenclatures worldwide.
– Dental radiological techniques.
Registration and updating of the patient’s history
At the same time that the dental assistant works on these procedures, he will be able to make an initial diagnosis of the state of the teeth and gums. In this sense, it will be observed if there is any condition to notify the dentist. In this sense, he will also be in charge of keeping the patient’s history updated. He may add observations related to hygiene and repair techniques that he has carried out. This point includes, therefore, the administrative tasks related to the appointment schedule, budgets, invoices, etc.
Maintenance of the room and work tools
Good maintenance, order, and cleanliness always depend on the dental assistant, both in the workrooms and in the tools that are used. This can include disinfection and sterilization of material, for example. It is essential to guarantee biosecurity measures to avoid risks.
Customer service and advice
Finally, the dental assistant is the one who receives and dismisses the patient. In addition to advising him at all times, in person and by telephone contact. Therefore, customer satisfaction will be largely under his responsibility. In addition, he will have to know how to deal with the nerves of many people who are going to undergo uncomfortable, complicated, or painful procedures.
He will also be able to advise at all times on the topics in which he has been trained, both to patients and outside the clinics, by way of informative conferences. In this area, it is very important to be able to provide good information on how to perform proper dental hygiene to prevent diseases in the mouth.
Taking these functions into account, the dental assistant must be a friendly person with organizational and decisive capacities. The functioning, the image, and the success of the dental clinic will largely depend on him.
How to find a dental assistant near me?
In the past, you may have to check your yellow pages or ask your family/friends. Now, you don’t need all of that. You can use the Internet and in just a few clicks you can find not one but many dental assistants at once. Social media such as Facebook and Instagram are one of the best places to find a dental assistant quickly. However, if you want to search with more stringent criteria, using sites like LinkedIn is a better solution. It doesn’t matter if you live in a big city or in a fairly remote village, finding a dental assistant is a fairly easy job. | medical |

This list of medical terms is thrown around in interviews is long and it doesn’t look good if you have to ask “what does that mean?”. Although it’s perfectly legitimately for you to have not come across these terms during your various work experience placement, its far better to understand them ahead of the interview. Also, using these terms in your answers will be sure to impress (just make sure you use them correctly). This blog covers a few of the essential terms, their definitions, and examples in which they might be used (or in which you could use them).
Ok, let’s start with primary, secondary and tertiary care – ones that gets used a lot. This system describes the hierarchy of care in the NHS and the usual flow of patients through it. Primary care describes the first point of contact – usually GP. This is where the majority of patients are seen and treated. It’s a very important area to be aware of as GPs are seen as the ‘gate-keepers’ of healthcare, deciding who should and shouldn’t receive further investigations or treatment. Also, many argue that this area is underfunded as it’s an area of catching diseases before they need treatment (just think about how much it costs to have a patient stay in hospital compared to seeing their GP).
In a nutshell, secondary care is hospital care. Usually patients are referred to hospitals by GPs for further management (IE the hospital is the second point of care). An important exception to this schema is A&E, where patients present directly to secondary care. Patients in secondary care will often have a short stay in hospital for treatment. Following this, tertiary care describes more specialist hospital care which is often more long-term. Operations and chemotherapy would fall into this category. There is also quaternary care which is just even more specialised, niche and sometimes experimental, but don’t worry about that.
Another type of care worth knowing, and discussing in your interview, is social care. This describes non-doctor care in the community for ‘social’ issues. Examples of this would include health visitors, nursing homes and other services that support people in everyday life. This is particularly hot topic as social care cuts have had a knock-on effect to secondary care. The A&E crises that seem to roll around each winter are argued to be the direct effect of reductions in social care. In many hospitals, elderly patients are unable to be discharged due to a lack of facilities to support them once they leave – ie they need more support in day-to-day life so can’t return home. This means these patients remain on the wards.
This has several knock-on effects. Firstly, it means new patients cannot be brought onto the wards from A&E, leading to increases in A&E waiting times (remember the large number of news stories about A&E waiting times in the winter of 2014). Secondly, it leads to the cancelling of non-emergency operations as there are not enough spaces on wards. This leads to longer waiting times for operations like hip replacements and laproscopic cholecystectomies (gall-bladder removal), and very unhappy patient who are in a lot of pain. Thirdly, it costs a lot to keep people in hospital – more than in a care home, or their own home.
So, there we have it. A brief summary of the structure of the health service and the essential terms you need for your interview. Best of luck everyone. | medical |

Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique which allows the surgeon to operate without the need for deep or large incisions in the skin. This means the recovery period is generally shorter, there is less pain after the operation, and scarring is reduced significantly for the patient. This technique is also known as keyhole surgery.
Why is it done?
Laparoscopy can be used to both treat and diagnose a range of conditions across specialties such as surgery, gynaecology, gastroenterology, and urology. Laparoscopy may be used in investigation, to check symptoms and attempt to reach a diagnosis, for example in cases of ovarian cysts, fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease, and appendicitis. Laparoscopy can also be used to take a biopsy (a small sample of tissue) meaning it can be used to investigate certain cancers, e.g liver cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, and many more.
As a surgical technique, laparoscopy is especially useful as it allows for minimal scarring and a shorter recovery period, which is advantageous to the patient. Laparoscopy can be used as a surgical technique in many situations, such as:
- Weight loss surgery
- Removal of the gallbladder as a treatment for gallstones
- Removal of the appendix
- Repairing stomach ulcers
- Treating ectopic pregnancy
- Removal of organs affected by cancer
What does it involve?
Laparoscopy is performed under general anaesthetic. The surgeon makes small incisions in the abdomen and inserts a laparoscope, which is a small camera attached to the end of a thin tube, allowing the surgeon to see inside the abdomen through a projection on a TV monitor in front of them. The surgeon uses small instruments to perform surgery, looking at the TV monitor for a clear view of the area they need to operate on.
How do you prepare for laparoscopy?
Generally, you will be asked not to eat or drink anything for 6-12 hours before the procedure. You will also be asked to stop taking blood-thinning medication a few days before the procedure takes place. If you are a smoker, your surgeon may advise you not to smoke for a few days before the procedure, as smoking can delay the healing process.
As laparoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure, you can generally go home either on the same day or the day following surgery. Someone will need to accompany you home as you will be advised not to drive for the 24 hours following the procedure.
Recovery from laparoscopy depends on the type of procedure performed. After diagnostic laparoscopy, for example, you may be able to resume normal activity after five days. If surgery is more minor, for example ulcer repair, normal activity may be resumed in around three weeks. Major surgery, such as hysterectomy or organ removal (e.g kidney) typically takes longer – up to 12 weeks. Your surgeon or doctor will advise you on how to clean your stitches and keep wounds clean.
Expect to feel tired or somewhat drained after surgery for a few days, but this should pass as your body uses less and less energy as the recovery process goes on. If you experience any pain, you can take over-the-counter medication pain relief to reduce it.
Alternatives to laparoscopy
Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive technique which is used as an alternative to traditional open surgery. Open surgery may be necessary in certain situations and your surgeon will speak to you regarding your options before making a decision as to which type of surgery will be performed. | medical |

Providing them with food meets birds' needs, while having an impact on your health as well! | medical |

This is a valuable service to dentists and orthodontists around the world that want to provide a higher level of care for their patients without charging more than the average patient can afford for these services.
Advance Dental was founded by an orthodontist who realized that some dentists were not able to afford dental articulators that would properly meet the needs of their patients.
Articulador dental from AD 2 is an affordable alternative to the pricier dental articulators available, but will not require you to sacrifice a quality instrument, all the accessories, or the precision and accuracy necessary for this type of equipment to be effective.
One of the most important pieces of dental equipment that is needed to created dentures and bridges is the dental articulator. It is used to recreate an exact upper and lower mandibular copy of the patients current mouth.
Articulator dental by AD 2 is a high precision instrument that is affordable even for the small practice or the educational environment with limited funding. These instruments for dentistry and orthodontics sacrifice nothing in terms of features and quality.
A well crafted dental articulator can also be very affordable. Made from extruded aluminum and anodized finished, they are not powder coated. This means that the surface of the articulator will not bubble or peel.
When you are creating dentures for patients it is important to have an accurate fit as well as determine the perfect angle for the dental implant.
A face bow is a dental instrument that is used to measure the bite distance between the upper and lower jaws of a patient. It helps determine the actual contact points on the teeth which are then used to create properly fitted dentures and other orthodontic items.
When you are designing dentures for your clients you want to make sure that you have the best measurements aWhenvailable. You need to determine the exact distance from the TMJ to the central point of the jaw as well as the axis for the turn radius of both the upper and lower dental plates.
The functional occlusion is important when you are designing dentures for your patients. The most basic definition of this term is the point where the teeth of a patient first meet and where the impact points will be when they bite down.
Dental articulators have since the 1800’s been a constant in most dental offices. As dental science developed an understanding of the nature of manibular movement the need for this device grew and the single hinge dental articulators become a demand for any dentist. | medical |

They come in three forms: the egg (nit), the nymph, and the adult. Nits are laid at the base of the hair shaft.. Incubated by the warmth of the human head, the nits hatch in eight or nine days when they are located within a quarter of an inch from the base of the hair shaft. Nymphs are the immature lice that hatch from the nits. The nymph matures in about nine to 12 days. The adult female is able to lay between 8-12 eggs every day.
Lice eggs are dark in color, oval shaped, extremely small, and hard to see. Sometimes they appear to be the same color as the hair. The nymph is similar in appearance to an adult but is much smaller. An adult head louse has six legs, a tan to grayish-white color, and is about the size of a sesame seed.
The lice are found anywhere on the human scalp. Nits are found cemented to the hair shaft and are laid very close to the scalp. The head lice crawl along the hair shaft with hook-like claws at the ends of their six legs. After the lice lay eggs, they cover them with glue that is chemically similar to cement. This glue firmly attaches the nits to the hair shaft and provides a protective coating that is extremely difficult to remove.
No, head lice are not known to spread disease. However, itching leads to scratching, which when excessive, can create openings in the skin that may become infected.
Head lice are highly contagious. Mothers have a 90% chance of contracting head lice from their children. Siblings have an 80% chance, caregivers have a 35% chance, and dads have a 20% chance of contracting head lice from an infested child.
Anyone, anywhere can get head lice. Most commonly, head lice infestations affect preschoolers, elementary schoolchildren, and the families and caregivers of the affected children. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the United States has six million to 12 million infestations among children three to 11 years old each year.
A tickling feeling of something moving on the head, itching (caused by an allergic reaction to the bites of the head louse), irritability or sleeplessness (head lice are most active in the dark), and head sores caused by scratching are the most prevalent symptoms. Head lice infestations can be asymptomatic, however, especially if it is the first or a light infestation. Only 50% of those who have head lice are actually itchy because of lice bites.
Head lice spread when there is direct head-to-head contact with someone who is infested. This could take place during otherwise innocent occasions (children playing at school, at home, at slumber parties, at camp, and during sports activities) or actions (hugging). Anyone at anytime who comes in head-to-head contact with a person who has head lice is at the greatest risk.
Head lice must feed on human blood in order to survive. An adult head louse will die within 24 to 48 hours of being off a human head. Nymphs can only live for several hours without feeding. Nits must be kept warm by the scalp, and are therefore not viable when off of a human head. For all of these reasons, it is not very likely that lice will spread by way of inanimate objects. However, it is not impossible, and therefore basic cleaning of bedding, carpets, upholstered furniture, hairbrushes, stuffed animals, hair ties, and clothing should be done whenever head lice is found in the home.
There is evidence that head lice spreads more commonly through close friends who engage in afterschool activities and playtimes, and less commonly through the more casual contact that occurs in the school setting. Still, most schools will take reasonable effort to provide classroom and sibling head checks when there is a known head lice infestation.
Pesticides are not only ineffective, they are also very dangerous and do more harm than good. A family of four spends an average of $800 on pesticide-type lice shampoo products that don’t work. | medical |

I still got a cough, but my back is way better. I started carrying my heavy camera everyday again. I hope to not get sick again for a long, long time, so I went online to find out more about "the common cold". Hope this helps some of you.
Unlike various strains of influenza virus, which tend to travel in airborne droplets, cold viruses prefer a physical transmission route: from your hands to your nose or eyes, and then to the nasopharynx — where the nose meets the mouth at the back of the throat (and where most colds begin). The nasopharynx, where the nose meets the mouth, is the “sweet spot” for cold viruses.
There are hundreds of viruses that cause the common cold, and most of them are rhinoviruses, which need to get into the mucous membranes lining the nose or into the tear ducts in order to cause infection. That means touching your face — specifically your nose and eyes — is the primary way people give themselves cold germs. You’re far more likely to catch a cold from touching an infected person’s water glass and then wiping your eye or picking your nose than you are from drinking a sip of the sick person’s water!
Studies have shown that most cold viruses can survive for up to three hours on nonporous surfaces such as doorknobs, countertops, and coffee cups. They can also survive on people’s hands for several hours if they don’t wash them. That’s why hand washing — after you shake hands, after you open a door, after you push a shopping cart — is item number one in your anticold defense manual. If you kill cold germs on your hands before you transfer them to your nose or eyes, you stop a cold before it can start.
Sleep: While you sleep, your body recharges your immune system, which is what fights off a cold.
Liquids: A lot of water, juice, and clear broth or warm lemon water with honey are the best fluids to rely on. Fluids help your body heal from a cold by loosening congestion and preventing dehydration.
Chicken soup: Scientists believe chicken soup acts as an anti-inflammatory by inhibiting the movement of neutrophils, the cells of the immune system that mount the body’s inflammatory response. Hot chicken soup also temporarily speeds up the movement of mucus through the nose, helping relieve congestion and limiting the amount of time viruses are in contact with the lining of the nasal passages.
Gargle with salt water: Dissolve a half teaspoon of salt in an 8-ounce glass of warm water and gargle with it. The reason this time-honored home remedy works is that a sore throat occurs when the throat tissues become inflamed by bacteria and germs. This inflammation takes the form of tiny fluid-filled bumps called edemas. The dehydrating action of salt draws out the edema fluid, killing the bacteria, which require a warm, moist environment to survive.
“Irrigate” your nose with saline: Studies show that over-the-counter saline nasal sprays work to combat stuffiness and congestion and also reduce the amount of time that virus particles are in the nasal passages. A neti pot, an alternative therapy gaining in popularity, is basically another nasal irrigation technique that puts the saline solution directly into the nasal passages.

In response to these questions;
There are a few companies that are marketing shoes with spring loaded heels.
The premise of the shoe design logic is that it absorbs shock at the heel. While shock absorption is often a good thing at heel strike, it is not that good immediately following heel strike. The springs that are embedded in the shoe’s heel can have the effect of irritating the Achilles tendon at the back of the heel when the heel drops lower than usual as the springs compress. The moment of time between when the heel compresses and the weight transfers to the front of the foot is the critical potential problem time.
The function of the shoe may cause a sudden loading of the mid-foot resulting from this temporary negative heel height. If this happens, it can cause moderate to severe injuries of the heel cord and the ligaments that run along the bottom of the foot.
For patients who have tight calves or a tendency to experience arch pain or other foot pain, we advise consulting an orthotist or pedorthist prior to purchasing this type of shoe. | medical |

Speaker: Prof David Brough, School of Biological Sciences at University of Manchester.
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia. Globally there are currently 50 million people with dementia and this is predicted to increase to 152 million by 2050. There is no effective treatment. The Brough lab works to understand how the immune system affects the progression of dementia. The immune system protects the body against infection. However, as we age our control of our immune responses becomes less and inappropriate immune activation during disease can actually cause a disease to become worse. This is the case in Alzheimer’s disease. Through understanding the immune mechanisms at play we can learn how to target and manipulate them and try to develop new ways of treating dementia.
Event starts 6.30 pm at The Vale Inn, Adlington Road, Bollington.

Our vision is that one day we can alleviate all of the financial stressors that burden anyone dealing with CF. This includes assisting hospitalized patients in need of “CF tune-ups”, purchases of medical equipment, and/or travel expenses to reach appropriate care. For instance, if an individual with CF came to us in need of financial assistance for a lung transplant, our goal would be to pay 100% of the costs associated with this process.

Nighttime dry coughs can be particularly miserable. There are various reasons why a chronic or persistently dry cough can occur only night time. Dry coughing at night in some cases may occur due to exposure to respiratory irritants like cigarette smoke and indoor chemicals or due to underlying allergies. The reason that you may not be coughing during the day and the cough subsides when you are out of your house is because you are most likely away from the source of irritation.
If you only experience dry coughing at night only, while you are in bed, then it is likely that the cough is triggered by some indoor environmental factors that you will have to look for. However, before going to bed, there are still things you can do to soothe your over-sensitive airways and ticklish throat so that you do not cough.
Home Remedies & Cure:
Drinking herbal tea with honey – Make it a habit to drink some non-caffeinated tea before you go to bed. Mucus in your airways can be broken up by practically any warm liquid. It is even better if you add some honey in the tea as well
Sleeping on an incline – If you want to put an end to your nighttime cough, you will have to do something about gravity. Lying down causes all the mucus and postnasal drainage that is swallowed during the day to back up and irritate the throat. You should use some pillows to prop yourself up while you sleep to potentially defy gravity. If you suffer from acid reflux, you can raise your bed 4 inches higher by stick wooden blocks under its head. With that angle, the acids will remain in your stomach so that your throat does not get irritated by them while you sleep.
Using steam cautiously – Cough at night can become worse if your airways become dry. Before going to bed, if you take a bath or shower, or even just sit in a steamy bathroom, it can certainly feel relieving. However, if you suffer from asthma, your cough at night can become much worse because of the steam.
Watching the humidity – Humidifiers can keep the air in your bedroom dry, which can reduce your nighttime dry coughing. Too much moisture can keep you coughing all night. Common allergens like dust mites and mold thrive in damp air. Thus, humidity levels should be kept between 40% and 50%. Humidity can be measured using a cost-effective device such as a hygrometer, which is conveniently available at any hardware store.
Preparing your bedside – Preparing your beside can also reduce your nighttime coughing. Having things like cough drops, a glass of water and anything that may seem to help can come in handy if you start coughing. If you manage to stop your nighttime dry cough you will hopefully be able to fall asleep again and the cough will not bother you again. Your airways are further irritated by coughing, leading more dry cough, which will only cause your nighttime coughing problem to prolong.
Keep bedding clean – Focus on your bed if you are prone to allergies and you most often cough during the night. Nighttime allergies and coughing are often triggered by tiny creatures known as dust mites, which lurk in bedding and eat dead skin flakes. Washing bedding in hot water every week can get rid of them. Mattress and pillows should be wrapped to plastic to prevent dust mites from invading.
Considering medicine – There are two ways in which over-the-counter cough medicines can prove to be helpful. The cough reflex can be blocked and the urge to cough can be reduced by taking a cough suppressant before going to bed. It is important that the right medicine is used for the dry nighttime cough and doctor or pharmacist should be consulted if not certain.
See your doctor – You may have to pay a visit to the doctor if you have been persistently coughing at night for more than 7 days.
There is always a reason behind why a person might persistently cough, even when it comes to dry cough at night. However, your nights can become peaceful again if you consult your doctor and together, find out the factor that may be triggering your nighttime coughing. | medical |

There are several various types of Lasik operations now offered, from the original and well recorded procedure to Lasik procedures done with 3 dimensional wavefronts, or done completely with lasers. Each of these variations of the Lasik procedure must be talked about with the doctor that is to perform the operation.

It is excellent to know exactly what the possible side effects of the Lasik treatment are, and also the probability that one of these side impacts will take place for a particular client. Just like any medication we take, each has a possible number of adverse effects, but we usually assume that the probability of a severe adverse effects is little, and we take the medicine anyhow. This article will ideally put issues of the prospective Lasik patient into viewpoint so that they can calmly and thoughtfully consider having a Lasik treatment done in the future.
More than one million Lasik treatments are carried out in the US every year, according to the FDA. This arm of the nationwide federal government has actually accumulated the following stats for the most typical side effects of the Lasik procedure. These stats will likewise differ by the doctor carrying out the surgery, so ensure to obtain as additional resources much information on the prospective Lasik physician as possible.
After Lasik surgery, 1.7 percent of patients experience some glare or sensitivity to light after the operation. This differs by client, but this sensitivity is particularly obvious when taking a look at a intense light, such as a streetlight when strolling at night, or other strong light and dark contrast. Another light related side effect is a halo around a light, and this occurs in 3.5 percent of Lasik patients.
The new, corrected vision can be noticed quickly by some Lasik clients, in just a couple of hours after surgical treatment. A lot of clients that have undergone the Lasik procedure discover the modification is long-term within a few days. In 2.6 percent of clients that have actually had a Lasik her comment is here treatment done, there is consistent visual change within at least a part of their sphere of vision.
Some clients do not get a totally remedied sphere of vision after their Lasik treatment. This occurs with a small number of customers, and the FDA stats are that only 3 percent of clients have this impact. In all or nearly all cases, the physician in charge will carry out an additional Lasik procedure to enhance this.
This detailing of the major permanent adverse effects of the Lasik procedure need to put any personal scary stories into point of view. Notice that none of the portions are above 3 percent, and this ought to bring convenience to many prospective Lasik customers. It ought to likewise motivate them to look thoroughly at the Lasik physician's individual record.
There are numerous different types of Lasik operations now available, from the original and well recorded procedure to Lasik treatments done with three dimensional wavefronts, or done totally with lasers. It is good to know exactly what the possible side effects of the Lasik procedure are, and likewise the likelihood that one of these side impacts will take place for a particular patient.

It will be the first such project by a multinational in the country, according to the FT.
West China is one of the largest hospitals in the world, with 4,300 beds and 2m outpatients. It is that sheer size that is attractive to the Dutch firm which is the third largest producer of medical imaging equipment. It provides a statistically significant pool of patients. The more data there is to crunch, the better can be made the algorithms that extract meaning from it.
Medical imaging has been a growing market for multinationals as the government has pushed health care modernization and hospital privatization. The SARS outbreak in 2003 also spurred the market. As well as Philips, the obvious suspects, General Electric, Siemens, Toshiba and Hitachi, are all active.
The next five-year plan puts more focus on rural medical treatment. That should open a new market for diagnostic imaging equipment manufacturers but one that may be more attractive to the smaller scale domestic companies like Analogic and Weida. | medical |

Whether you like it or not, you should be facing these sorts of things in terms of your feelings in one way or another. Clinical depression, though, can be considered to be present among individuals who seem to be harboring these depressing feelings and feelings of anxiety for a far longer time than usual. You can say the same thing about anxiety. Despite the fact that being anxious about something can be pretty normal, there are some that go beyond just being anxious about one thing but now being anxious about a lot of things. As a matter of fact, there is an increasing number of individuals who are suffering from depression or anxiety disorders in the current times. You need not wonder why there are more and more anxiety treatment centers and depression treatment centers that are going into the picture.
Today, your options of treatment for either anxiety or depression have greatly increased in numbers. The thing that you have to remember about anxiety or depression and suffering from it is the fact that you have become a patient diagnosed with such clinical condition and nothing worse. If you put anxiety and depression disorders into clinical conditions, then there is no doubt that you will be able to consider it necessary to seek the help of depression treatment and anxiety treatment centers. Getting this service will no doubt be of benefit to you in more ways than one.
Once you decide to enroll to any of these mindset family therapy and anxiety treatment center options out there, you will be provided a care plan that will help you recover better with the aid of the psychiatrists and physicians that work there. Most of the time, you will be provided medications that work for the treatment of your anxiety or depression. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are just one kind of the many treatment medications that are being provided among individuals who are suffering from anxiety or depression. Most medications provided for anxiety disorders aid in balancing the neurotransmitters found inside your brain.
Furthermore, while you have enrolled in these depression treatment and anxiety treatment centers, you will also be doing some one-on-one sessions with your therapist. Usually, you will be discussing about what might be the causes that have led to your anxiety disorder or depression. If you can discuss openly with your therapist and better figure out what might be the main cause of your condition, there is no doubt that you will be able to recover better and be treated in the best possible way. | medical |
https://support.naked-pools.com/hc/en-au/articles/360045071454-10-Amazing-benefits-of-Copper-in-drinking-water | 2021-12-06T00:29:33 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363226.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20211205221915-20211206011915-00156.warc.gz | 0.943769 | 1,136 | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2021-49__0__194701000 | en | Water is the most essential element to sustain life on the planet. 70 per cent of the human body is made up of water. You may not know that in ancient times, our ancestors followed the practice of storing water in containers made of copper. Their aim was to safeguard drinking water, but there is more to the story.
In today’s modern world where we have UV filters and RO purifiers to purify water, the storage of water in metal containers may sound old-fashioned and not needed. However, this age-old practice is now supported by several scientific studies.
Storing water in a copper vessel creates a natural purification process. It can kill all the microorganisms, moulds, fungi, algae and bacteria, present in the water that could be harmful to the body, and makes the water perfectly fit for drinking. In addition, water stored in a copper vessel, preferably overnight or at least for four hours, acquires a certain quality from the copper. Copper is an essential trace mineral that is vital to human health. It has antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-carcinogenic and anti-inflammatory properties, and also helps neutralise toxins.
Unlike some nutritional elements, the body cannot synthesise copper, so you need to get it from dietary sources. The best dietary sources of copper include seafood, organ meats, whole grains, lentils, nuts, seeds, chocolate, cereals, potatoes, peas and some dark green leafy vegetables. Drinking 2 to 3 glasses of water that has been stored in a copper vessel is another easy way to supply your body with enough copper.
1. Helps the digestive system work efficiently.
Copper has properties that helps kill harmful bacteria and reduce inflammation within the stomach. This makes it a great remedy for ulcers, indigestion and infections. Copper also helps cleanse and detox your stomach, regulating the working of your liver and kidneys, and ensures the absorption of nutrients from food.
2. Aids weight loss
To lose weight faster, try drinking water stored in a copper vessel regularly. Apart from fine tuning your digestive system, copper also helps your body break down fat and eliminates it more efficiently, thereby helping your body keep only what it will use and throw out the rest.
3.Helps heal wounds faster
Known for its immense anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties, copper is a great tool for healing wounds quickly. Copper is also known to strengthen your immune system and aid in the production of new cells. But its healing properties don’t cease with helping the body externally; copper is also known to help wounds heal within the body, especially in the stomach.
4. Slows down ageing.
Packed with very strong anti-oxidant and cell forming properties, copper fights off free radicals, one of the main reasons for the formation of fine lines on the skin.
5.Helps maintain heart health and beats hypertension
Copper may help minimise your risk of developing heart disease. According to the American Cancer Society, copper has been found to help regulate blood pressure, heart rate and lower bad cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
6. Mitigates the risk of cancer.
Copper has very strong antioxidant properties that helps fight off free radicals and negate their ill effects – one of the main reasons for the development of cancer.
7. Protects you from infection.
Copper is known to be oligodynamic in nature (the sterilising effect of metals on bacteria), and can destroy bacteria very effectively. It is especially effective against algae, moulds, spores, fungi, viruses, prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms, even in relatively low concentrations. These are bacteria that are commonly found in our environment and known to cause severe illnesses in the human body.
8. Regulates the working of the thyroid gland.
Health experts believe that one commonality among people with thyroid diseases is that they usually have low levels of copper in their body. While this is most commonly seen in people with hyperthyroidism (excessive thyroid hormone), those with hypothyroidism (low levels of thyroid hormone) may also suffer from this deficiency.
9. Beats arthritis and inflamed joints.
Copper has very strong anti-inflammatory properties. These properties can help to relieve aches and pains caused due to inflamed joints – like in the case of arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Copper also has bone and immune system strengthening properties, making it a powerful remedy for arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in many patients.
10. Boosts skin health and melanin production.
Copper is the main component in the production of melanin (a pigment that mitigates the colour of your eyes, hair and skin) in our bodies. It also aids in the production of new cells that help replenish the top most layers of your skin leaving you with smooth and supple skin.
The most amazing fact about copper is that it is required in most processes that occur in our body. From cell formation to aiding in the absorption of iron, it is an essential mineral for the functioning of your body.

America has never seen a public health crisis like the current opioid epidemic.
Last year, more than 64,000 people died of drug overdoses in the U.S., the majority from opioids like oxycodone, heroin, and fentanyl. That’s more than the number of people who died from HIV/AIDS in a single year at its peak (43,000), more than the number of people who ever died in a single year from car crashes (55,000), and more than the number of Americans who died during the entire Vietnam War (58,000).
The rise in opioid-related deaths began in the early 2000s with an uptick in overdoses from prescription painkillers. Then, around 2010, heroin overdoses began to rise as people addicted to painkillers started to lose their sources. And in the past couple years, overdoses from fentanyl, a cheaper and deadlier alternative to heroin, have spiked dramatically.
Unfortunately, the opioid epidemic is still getting worse. Opioid-related deaths increased even more from 2015 to 2016, and experts expect the situation to continue to worsen in the coming years. It’s so bad that the average life expectancy in the U.S. has actually begun to decrease for the first time in decades.
Meanwhile, the companies that manufacture opioid painkillers have seen their profits skyrocket. Big pharmaceutical companies like Purdue Pharma, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson are doing about $10 billion in opioid sales in the U.S. each year. Business has never been better!
2. Doctors used to be cautious about opioids, so Big Pharma launched a massive lobbying effort to get to doctors to prescribe them more often.
Opioids have been around for a long time. Opioid painkillers hit the market in the U.S. for the first time in 1898 with Bayer Co’s “Heroin” cough syrup. Decades later drugs like oxycodone and Vicodin were approved by the FDA for pain management. But with illegal heroin seen as a major public health issue for much of the 20th century, there was a sense of opiophobia in the medical field and many doctors were afraid to prescribe opioids because of their addictive nature. For decades, their use was largely confined to terminal cancer patients.
That changed in the 1990s, when Big Pharma launched a massive lobbying effort to encourage doctors to prescribe opioids more often. Instead of reserving the drugs for cancer patients, they wanted doctors to use them as long-term pain treatments for people suffering from relatively minor issues, like chronic neck pain.
The drug companies promoted their painkillers by purchasing advertisements and funding research in medical journals. They lobbied to get their opioid use recommendations in the pain management curriculum that was taught in continuing education courses for medical professionals at the time. A non-profit funded by the pharmaceutical industry, called the American Pain Society, campaigned to have pain considered “the fifth vital sign,” joining blood pressure, temperature, heartbeat, and breathing. Since 2001 the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations has required doctors to ask patients about pain in the same way that they are required to measure their patients’ blood pressure.
Throughout the mid 2000s, drug companies gave the non-profit Federation of State Medical Boards $825,000 to fund a model policy on opioids that would be promoted to medical policymakers in the state. The model policy encouraged aggressive prescribing of opioids and said that denying opioids is bad medical practice. By 2013, the policy was adopted by at least 35 state medical boards.
The companies also used their money and influence to convince policymakers that their products were not responsible for the emerging opioid epidemic. Between 2006 and 2015, the companies spent more than $880 million on lobbying and campaign contributions in Congress and statehouses across the country to fight opioid limits and defend medical policies that encouraged their use. That’s more than 200 times as much as interests advocating for stricter opioid policies spent during that period.
3. The DEA tried to crack down on drug distributors from diverting opioids to fraudulent pain clinics, but pharma-backed politicians passed a bill to strip them of their authority.
In the mid 2000s the Drug Enforcement Administration developed a strategy for stemming the illicit use of opioid painkillers by going after the companies that distribute the pills. For about 10 years the DEA levied fines on distributors that shipped opioids to businesses suspected of filling fraudulent prescriptions. In some cases the DEA was able to freeze shipments from these distributors in order to prevent pills from hitting the streets.
But in April, 2016, Congress passed a bill to limit the DEA’s authority and make it all but impossible for them to halt suspicious shipments of opioids.
The bill was drafted by Linden Barber, a former top lawyer for the DEA who had spent four years prosecuting opioid distributors for the government. After leaving the DEA, Linden spun through the revolving door and took a lucrative job at a law firm representing the very pharmaceutical companies that he had been prosecuting while at the DEA.
“If you have a DEA compliance issue or you’re facing a government investigation,” Barber says in a promotional video for the law firm, “I’d be happy to hear from you.”
Barber’s bill was introduced in Congress by Representatives Tom Marino (R-PA) and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), who both represent districts with drug overdose death rates above the national average. The bill was passed unanimously by the House and Senate and signed into law by President Obama.
So why would Congress—especially Marino and Blackburn—sponsor a bill like this while their constituents are dying from the epidemic? The Washington Post provides details on the pharmaceutical money that greased the skids for the bill:
Political action committees representing the industry contributed at least $1.5 million to the 23 lawmakers who sponsored or co-sponsored four versions of the bill, including nearly $100,000 to Marino and $177,000 to [Orrin] Hatch. Overall, the drug industry spent $102 million lobbying Congress on the bill and other legislation between 2014 and 2016, according to lobbying reports.
4. Drug companies poached from the DEA to weaken them and get a leg up on lobbying.
From 2005 to 2015, while the Drug Enforcement Administration was trying to crack down on illicit opioid use, the drug companies were working to weaken the DEA by hiring away DEA agents who had been the architects of the agency’s campaign against them.
According to a 2016 Washington Post investigation, “the pharmaceutical companies and law firms that represent them have hired at least 42 officials from the DEA – 31 of them directly from the division responsible for regulating the industry.”
Poaching the DEA’s employees was an effective way for the drug companies to weaken the DEA, and it also gave them a big advantage for changing government policy in their favor. By hiring from the DEA, the drug companies got employees who had connections to people who still worked at the agency overseeing them. These “revolving door” connections help make lobbying efforts more effective by giving access and providing a personal touch to otherwise transactional exchanges.
Indeed, it was a former DEA agent that drafted the bill, described above, that took away the DEA’s ability to freeze suspicious opioid treatments. If the drug companies didn’t have a former DEA agent with intimate knowledge of the laws and procedures involved in the agency’s operations, they likely would not have been able to draft legislation that looked innocent enough to pass in Congress, while being strong enough to defang the DEA.
5. Marijuana can substitute for opioids, so Big Pharma is spending millions to keep it illegal.
Marijuana is a good alternative to opioid painkillers. Studies have shown that it can effectively treat many of the types of pain that opioids are often prescribed for, and there are no known cases of deaths from marijuana overdoses.
In states where marijuana has been legalized, opioid overdoses have gone down. “Hospitalization rates for opioid painkiller dependence and abuse dropped on average 23 percent in states after marijuana was permitted for medicinal purposes,” Reuters reported in March 2017. “Hospitalization rates for opioid overdoses dropped 13 percent on average.”
That’s great news for combating the opioid epidemic. But for the companies that make opioids it’s a direct threat to their bottom line, so they are funding campaigns to stop states from legalizing marijuana.
In the 2016 election, Insys Therapeutics, the company that makes fentanyl (a deadly painkiller), spent $500,000 to defeat a marijuana legalization ballot measure in Arizona. It was the largest contribution ever made to an anti-legalization effort. The ballot measure failed.
Drug companies have also donated heavily to powerful politicians in states that are considering marijuana legalization. The Democratic Governors Association, a political group that helps elect Democratic governors, has received more than $18 million from Big Pharma over the past ten years. As a result, in liberal states where marijuana legalization is overwhelmingly popular, Democratic governors have stood in opposition. Instead they tend to favor approaches that only legalize marijuana for medical use in processed forms, something the pharmaceutical industry can control on profit on.
The industry has also provided funding to anti-marijuana academics. A 2014 investigation by Vice found that several of the leading academic researchers and writers that advocate against legalizing marijuana have taken money from companies that make and sell opioids. These individuals are treated as independent experts and given the opportunity to promote anti-marijuana talking points through op-eds and press statements while simultaneously taking consulting fees from major opioid companies like Pfizer and Purdue Pharma. | medical |

Healthcare in ancient Egypt was primarily available to the elite and those who could afford it. Physicians and healers existed in ancient Egyptian society, and they practiced various medical treatments and surgeries, including dentistry, ophthalmology, and wound care. The ancient Egyptians also had knowledge of medicinal herbs and remedies.
However, the average Egyptian might not have had access to these healthcare services, especially in rural areas. Healthcare was likely more accessible to the wealthy and those living in urban centers. The quality of healthcare would have varied depending on one’s social and economic status.
So, while healthcare did exist in ancient Egypt, it was not equally accessible to all members of society.
- Limited Accessibility: Healthcare in ancient Egypt was not readily available to all citizens. Instead, it was primarily accessible to the elite and those who could afford it.
- Physicians and Healers: Ancient Egypt had physicians and healers who practiced various medical treatments, surgeries, and remedies. These skilled practitioners catered to the healthcare needs of the population.
- Elite Access: The wealthy and privileged class had better access to healthcare services. They could afford the services of physicians and specialized treatments.
- Urban Centers: Healthcare services were more concentrated in urban centers, where physicians and medical facilities were more accessible. Rural areas likely had fewer healthcare options.
- Varied Quality: The quality of healthcare in ancient Egypt varied significantly depending on one’s social and economic status. The elite received more advanced and specialized treatments, while the common people might have relied on traditional remedies.
- Herbal Remedies: The ancient Egyptians possessed knowledge of medicinal herbs and remedies, which were often used in healthcare practices.
- Inequality: Healthcare inequality was prevalent, with the wealthy enjoying better medical care, while the less fortunate had limited access to formal healthcare services. | medical |

While both substances have comparable effects in regards to promoting wakefulness, increasing concentration, and enhancing working memory, they are a world apart in regards to adverse effects and safety.

It found that Modafinil triggers a whole host of unanticipated adverse effects including : HeadachesNauseaAnxietyInsomniaLumbagoDiarrheaDyspepsiaRhinitisVertigoThese reported adverse effects were moderate, but are very important to understand about prior to you decide whether to take Modafinil.
It contains no precursor particles for substances that are known to cause addiction. However, it been revealed to operate as a reinforcer and have abuse potential under particular circumstances, especially when taken at a high dose. In one case, a male with bipolar affective disorder developed Modafinil reliance and later, had hypersexuality, when he increased his dosage of Modafinil from 400 to 1,000 mg/day .
Modafinil is the ultimate wise drug due to the fact that, quite honestly, absolutely nothing matches its effectiveness and effectiveness as a wakefulness-promoting representative. However, it includes serious adverse effects to boot and should not be taken lightly. Alpha Brain, on the other hand, uses a strong 4-6 hours of 'laser-sharp' focus and concentration and boosts working memory with essentially no side results.

(A report on MI-free household finds can be read here.)
The talk was given by Allergy UK’s Amena Warner, and while we all know that the answer to the question is yes, the range of ingredients to which cosmetic users may be reacting to did remind me that it’s important to look beyond the usual suspects – and put yourself into the hands of a medical expert – if you are concerned about skin sensitisers.
Walker told us that fragrance is the number one cause of skin allergic reactions to cosmetics.
Given that women use several cosmetic products daily, each containing potentially several fragrance allergens (such as geraniol, eugenol, limonene etc – usually listed at the end of the list of ingredients), that’s a sizeable exposure to these potent triggers.
Although self diagnosis is never a good idea, and clearly fragrances are major culprits, of course so are other ingredients, Warner reminded us.
Emollients – essentially moisturisers, useful to those with skin barrier function problems and eczema – are potential culprits as well. Warner named lanolin, propolis, beeswax and (a surprise to me) castor oil, which, although rare, can be related to lipstick use, so is worth bearing in mind if you have reactions in the lip and gum areas.
Naturally, preservatives are a main cause of reactions too – and it’s not just methylisothiazolinone (MI), which I was pleased to see mentioned and discussed – but imidazolidinyl urea and quaternium 15 (as well as phenoxyethanol, parabens and others).
All this did serve as a useful reminder that skin allergies can be caused by a number of ingredients (there are 8000 after all, which the cosmetic chemist can use to create a formulation) and that it may not always be what you think it is. Patch testing is the way to go, if your doctor agrees that there could be a sensitivity that needs to be investigated. Warner pointed out that many women experiment and avoid cosmetics which seem to trigger reactions – this may solve the problem in the short term, but it’s clearly beneficial to get to the root of the problem so that the trigger (if there is one) can be avoided in future. Remember – formulations change, new products come, and old products go. The cosmetic world changes rapidly. It always helps to know the precise nature of your reaction – or whether it’s an allergy at all.
Warner stressed that methylisothiazolinone was such a potent allergen, that Allergy UK do not endorse any products with MI which come into contact with the skin. I covered Allergy UK endorsements and seals of approval in a recent blog post, which you can read here. | medical |

In March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic struck, with devastating effects emerging across the country. A Public Health report in June 2020 demonstrated the disproportionate toll Covid-19 had taken on our minority ethnic communities, with many friends and family, and elders in our communities lost to COVID 19. It also became clear that both coming from a BAME background as well as having a long term condition were factors increasing the risk of death from the virus.
As part of the pandemic response, NHS Charities Together awarded a generous sum of £50,000 to St George’s Hospital Charity, to work in partnership with South West London CCG on a Community-Led Health and Wellbeing Project, investing in BAME communities and reducing health inequalities in times of Covid19.
The project builds on a successfully piloted community-led health clinic project, building on findings which demonstrated an increased risk in the community of developing Type 2 Diabetes and Hypertension. This is a pilot Long-Term Conditions detection project co-produced between Wandsworth Community Empowerment Network (WCEN), South West London Health and Care Partnership and six local places of worship.
Working with communities in Wandsworth and Merton, the project has been lucky enough to form a user group with 8 faith leaders and members from local South Asian, African Caribbean and black African communities to experience the curriculum of the programme first hand. It was also fortunate in securing the support from the highly regarded dietitian, contributor to the renowned World Food book, and practising Muslim, Selma Mehar. Selma will be helping with translating people’s feedback into changes to the curriculum.
Working with communities to co-design and produce the programme has been hugely instrumental in this project, ensuring the result of this project will be a more culturally adapted curriculum which will resonate better with participants from our local communities, increasing buy-in to the programme and generating better health and wellbeing outcomes for participants in the long run.
Amerjit Chohan, Chief Executive of St George’s Hospital Charity said “We are so grateful for the amazing contribution from NHS Charities Together to allow this project to go ahead. We are committed to supporting the local communities surrounding St George’s and Queen Mary’s Hospitals throughout the Covid Pandemic and beyond.”
Thank you to NHS Charities Together for enabling this exciting new project to develop and to our project partners at SWLondon CCG, investing in local BAME communities to improve their health and wellbeing through a community empowered tailored programme! | medical |

The Adeo Leadership recently met with a medical doctor who serves on the COVID Task Forces of a major medical hospital in New York City and a private school on the Upper East Side. We were advised to teach the Adeo Program virtually this Fall.
The doctor stated the Delta variant emerging in July has been a game changer. There are breakthrough incidences of people getting COVID even though they have been vaccinated. In addition, the exposure time was previously 10 minutes, but the Delta variant is far less. She gave several reasons to not have classes in person now.
- Children 12 and under are not vaccinated and are more vulnerable. Simultaneously, vaccinated adult immunity is wearing off.
- Schools are able to distance children 3 feet apart in rows and put students in pods. This is difficult to impossible to do in host homes.
- Schools have put in ventilation systems to combat the spread of COVID. We are unable to confirm or do the same in host homes.
- Making sure children are masked and wearing the masks properly is a constant challenge.
With this information in mind and the health of our families and teachers as our top priority, we will start the Adeo Program in October with virtual (Zoom) classes. Mid January we will reassess the situation with the hope to switch to in person classes by the end of January.
Please reach out to the Adeo office if you have any questions or need more information. | medical |

Ad fibers enter the posterior marginalis and the nucleus proprius, and synapse on a second set of neurons. These are the secondary afferents (purple, below) which will carry the signal to the thalamus. The secondary afferents from both layers cross to the opposite side of the spinal cord and ascend in a tract called (logically) the spinothalamic tract. Tracts are always labeled from beginning to end.
The C fibers enter the substantia gelatinosa and synapse, but they do not synapse on secondary afferents. Instead they synapse on interneurons - neurons which do not project out of the immediate area. The interneurons must carry the signal to the secondary afferents in either the posterior marginalis or the nucleus proprius.
The spinothalamic tract ascends the entire length of the cord as shown above, and the entire brainstem, staying in about the same location all the way up. Below are representative slides showing the tract in the medulla and midbrain. Notice that by midbrain the spinothalamic tract appears to be continuous with the medial lemniscus. They will enter the VPL of the thalamus together.
The spinothalamic system enters the VPL, synapses, and is finally carried to cortex by the thalamocortical neurons. Here is a schematic of the entire pathway:
E. Pain control:
It has been recognized for centuries that opium and related compounds (such as morphine) are powerful analgesics. Several decades ago scientists hunted down the opiate receptor which was responsible for the potent effects. They then reasoned that if there was such a receptor in the body, maybe the body used its own endogenous form of opium to control pain. (It has also been recognized for centuries that under certain circumstances, i.e. the heat of battle, a serious wound may not cause pain.) This hypothetical compound was named "endorphin", from endogenous-morphine. Soon after, an entire class of peptide neurotransmitters was discovered that interacted with the opiate receptor, and now includes endorphins, enkephalins, and dynorphins. Synthetic, exogenous forms of these compounds continue to be discovered, prescribed, and abused, and are classed under the general term, "narcotics".
There are opiate receptors throughout the central nervous system. In the dorsal horn, they are located on the terminals of the primary afferents, as well as on the cell bodies of the secondary afferents. Opiate interneurons in the spinal cord can be activated by descending projections from the brainstem (especially the raphe nuclei and periaqueductal grey), and can block pain transmission at two sites. 1) They can prevent the primary afferent from passing on its signal by blocking neurotransmitter release, and 2) they can inhibit the secondary afferent so it does not send the signal up the spinothalamic tract.
F. The proprioceptive system:
The proprioceptive system arises from primarily the Aa afferents entering the spinal cord. These are the afferents from muscle spindles, Golgi tendon organs, and joint receptors. The axons travel for a little while with the discriminative touch system, in the posterior columns. Within a few segments, however, the proprioceptive information slips out of the dorsal white matter and synapses. After synapsing it ascends without crossing to the cerebellum.
Exactly where the axons synapse depends upon whether they originated in the legs or the arms. Leg fibers enter the cord at sacral or lumbar levels, ascend to the upper lumbar segments, and synapse in a medial nucleus called Clarke's nucleus (or nucleus dorsalis). The secondary afferents then enter the dorsal spinocerebellar tract on the lateral edge of the cord.
Fibers from the arm enter at cervical levels and ascend to the caudal medulla. Once there they synapse in a nucleus called the external cuneate (or lateral cuneate) nucleus, and the secondary axons join the leg information in the dorsal spinocerebellar tract.
The spinocerebellar tract stays on the lateral margin of the brainstem all the way up the medulla. Just before reaching the pons, it is joined by a large projection from the inferior olive. These axons together make up the bulk of the inferior cerebellar peduncle, which grows right out of the lateral medulla and enters the cerebellum.
The figures above outline the course of the dorsal spinocerebellar tract. Surely, there must be a ventral spinocerebellar tract? Naturally, there is, and it travels in approximately the same place - the lateral margin of the spinal cord, just ventral to the dorsal spinocerebellar tract. The two cannot be distinguished in a normal myelin stain. The ventral spinocerebellar tract seems to defy the ipsilaterality of the cerebellum, because the fibers entering it in the spinal cord actually cross on their way into the tract. However, they (somewhat inefficiently) cross back before entering the cerebellum. Therefore the cerebellum still gets information from the ipsilateral body.
A note about generalizations:
There is actually a fair amount of mixing that goes on between the tracts. Some light touch information travels in the spinothalamic tract, so that lesioning the dorsal columns will not completely knock out touch and pressure sensation. Some proprioception also travels in the dorsal columns, and follows the medial lemniscus all the way to the cortex, so there is conscious awareness of body position and movement. The pain and temperature system, although it does ascend to somatosensory cortex, also has multiple targets in the brainstem and other areas.

Vitamin D is a sunshine vitamin, and it is made in the skin when exposed to UVB radiation. Unfortunately, our paranoia over skin cancers has led people to believe that any sun exposure is bad. Turns out, as it mostly does with health issues, that there is a happy medium.
Too much sun is bad, but some sun is necessary. This post deals with:
- The problem
- The solution
- Sunlight and vitamin D for bone health and prevention of autoimmune diseases, cancers, and cardiovascular disease
These are two studies by Dr Michael Holick available free online and should be read by anyone who wants to know more. I will be quoting from these studies, so you should get the gist of them by reading this post.
I hope that after reading this post, your interest will be piqued enough to motivate you to download these studies and watch this very long talk by Dr Holick. If not, applying the recommendations from this post will already do you good.
You may also benefit from getting his book, ‘The UV advantage’.
As well, it would be great to watch this presentation: The Vitamin D Pandemic and its Health Consequences
Now, let’s begin.
The root of the problem
This goes back to our ancestors who lived in the tropics. Back in the day, (2,000,000 years ago) our ancestors got all the sun they needed to make enough Vitamin D. Interestingly, it is the Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation that causes the skin to make Vitamin D in the first place.
Now the problem presents itself. Many parts of the world are now gripped by the icy hand of winter, and thus, people are wrapped up in clothing and don’t go outside as often. Very likely, sun exposure goes down and Vitamin D levels plummet. Furthermore, our lifestyle nowadays revolves largely around indoor work (some professions are exceptions). Furthermore, when many finally do get under the sun, they apply sunscreen, which blocks out 95% of UVB radiation.
Now, Vitamin D also comes from our diet, but only in small amounts. For example, a 250ml glass of milk contains 100IU of Vitamin D. As we will see later, this isn’t enough. As Dr Holick concludes, “more than 90% of the vitamin D requirement for most people comes from casual exposure to sunlight.”
Traditionally, the problem associated with Vitamin D is rickets. In this case, the group affected is children. Administering about 400IU of Vitamin D with cod liver oil a day back in the 1800s was what largely curbed the problem. Unfortunately, what worked for children is not going to work for adults. So if a small child needs 400IU (4 glasses of milk) of Vitamin D, what would an adult need? I will come back to this later, but now, more bad news.
Not enough Vitamin D causes other problems, both in children and adults. Children may fall prey to rickets of course, and to top that off we have stunted growth, muscle weakness, and many other bad things. Adults not getting enough Vitamin D may have poor calcium absorption, which leads to diseases like osteomalacia. The elderly are particularly affected, and you can imagine that brittle bones and muscle weakness can potentially lead to falls and hip fractures. Furthermore, when you get older, your skin starts to go wonky, and you actually produce less Vitamin D with the same amount of sun exposure.
Enough of that, you can Google the results of a Vitamin D deficiency. But we just need to know that: Not enough Vitamin D = Bad things happen.
There are a couple of things to do, so I will break down the solution into a couple of segments.
There have been a few different requirements thrown out, but they all fall within some pre-set range. Note that there are two common units of measurement for Vitamin D blood concentration. There is the nano-moles per Litre (nmol/L) and the nanograms per millilitre (ng/mL). Make sure you know the units, because the values differ for each unit. Confusing, yes, but that’s the fickle scientists for you.
Anyway, Dr Holick suggests that you keep Vitamin D concentration between 75-125nmol/L (equivalent to about 30-50ng/mL), with others suggesting upwards from 40-60ng/L to even 75ng/L.
Regardless, I must make this note, that problems associated with Vitamin D are due to not having enough of it. Thus, we are better off asking, “How much is too much?”
The answer to that is that studies show that blood concentrations of 250nmol/L (or 100ng/L) is completely safe. Some studies even show levels of 150ng/L not giving signs of Vitamin D intoxication.
Given that most of the American population is Vitamin D deficient , having levels lower than 50nmol/L, there is cause for concern.
This is the shortest but most important section. The only way at present to test for a person’s Vitamin D status is through a blood test which measures the serum concentration of 25(OH)D (pronounced ’25 Hydroxy D’) and not anything else. There are various forms of Vitamin D, but we are only interested in this form.
The last point here is that it would be wise to test your Vitamin D status at its highest and its lowest. Namely, after Winter for the lowest, and after summer for the highest. If you live in the tropics, any time of the year would likely do.
Now that you know your Vitamin D level, its time to boost that to the 75-125nmol/L range.
There are two ways which you can do this. The first would be to get out into the sun, and the second would be to take supplements.
The first is simple, take your clothes off and run around in the sun! On a more serious note, Dr Holick has recommended that fair-skinned folk can make do with about 10-15 minutes of sun exposure at the brightest time of the day (11am – 1pm). After this, sunscreen should be applied to stop the negative effects of over-exposure.
However, darker-skinned individuals need more exposure. Quoting Dr Holick, “It has been documented to require 5-10 times more exposure to produce a 30-fold increase in blood concentration of Vitamin D in an African-American subject compared to a Caucasian subject.”
Hence, the recommendations should change as a result. In this regard, I have not seen precise recommendations. So, it depends.
A final note on the first method is that the amount of sun reaching Sweden in November is going to be much different from the sun reaching Australia at the same time of the year, so this is a very variable recommendation.
Hence, we have our second solution. This is simply to take supplements, usually in a capsule form to boost the Vitamin D levels in the blood. This is arguably easier and more precisely measurable.
You should know your Vitamin D status after you have tested it. Say it is hovering at 20ng/mL and you would like to boost it to 50ng/mL. This is where the general rule applies, that for every 10ng/mL increase you want, you should take 1000IU Vitamin D daily. This varies of course, but it is generally accurate.
So our subject would take 3,000IU every day for 6 months. After that he gets his Vitamin D levels checked, and hurray, its now at 48ng/mL. He’s a big guy, so he needs more Vitamin D, but his levels are now within the recommended range and he’s very happy.
As with anything related to health and especially supplementation, there is bound to be the issue of safety. The first one is the potential for overdose.
If you take pills or powders, make sure you know how much is in each pill and how much you are taking daily. Though rare, vitamin D overdose can happen. You could easily measure your Vitamin D levels to monitor this if you wanted to.
The good news is that this is very unlikely.
As seen in this graph by Michael Holick and colleagues, a 1 time administration of 50,000 IU of Vitamin D in capsule form to normal patients only spiked blood Vitamin D to around 80-90ng/mL; below the level of intoxication.
Note that this is for Vitamin D alone, so also watch to see if your supplements could contain other nutrients which could potentially lead to an overdose of that nutrient. (Eg: Some Vitamin D supplements come with Calcium, and could be overdosed)
A Brief but Important Conclusion
Vitamin D is important for healthy function, and many people do not get enough of it.
The best advice would be to take massive action. Get a blood test to determine your individual 25(OH)D serum concentration. Then get out into the sun more often and take Vitamin D supplements.
With some awareness and of course some cash investment, the problem will be easily solved. For long-term health, I think it is well worth it.
This is apparently for an SPF 15 sunscreen. Higher SPF sunscreens would block slightly more, approx 98%
It should be noted that a larger body needs more nutrients, and Vitamin D is no exception.
1 ng/mL Vit D is equivalent to about 2.5 nmol/L.
Dr Holick reports the findings of other researchers in his papers. Of which, some include the findings that 54% of nursing home members and 38% of nursing home residents were Vitamin D deficient. Also, another study showed that 47% of white girls aged 9-13 were Vitamin D deficient at the end of winter. Yet another shows that more than 50% of African American teenagers in Boston were Vitamin D deficient, and the list goes on.

Narcissistic masochism? Give you the willies? I totally get it….
What if I told you your reward would be incredibly plump and glowy skin and eventually an improvement in skin texture, scar healing & pigmentation fade.
Now you are listening right?
There is a fine line between the pleasure of good skin and my pain my friends and I have been dabbling…
And by dabbling I mean Derma Rolling.
Micro-needling, Derma Rolling, Collagen Induction Therapy? You may have seen these treatments with their compelling before and afters around the Medispa circuit and the good news is that at home derma rolling devices are gaining popularity and you can start getting some of the skin results at home. Improved skin texture, scar regeneration, decreased pigmentation and the ‘fresh and glowys’. I for one am rolling right up for that!
So what is Derma Rolling?
Derma Rolling is a skin refining procedure that sees hundreds of tiny surgical steel needles rolling across the epidermis leaving thousands of teeny micro punctures in its wake. Read on for how to take the medispa to you and how to use a Derma Roller at home.
Derma Rolling benefits?
This micro-needling method causes a little bit of chain reaction in the skin or ‘wound healing cascade’. Which basically means that by rupturing the skin in this delicate, controlled way we release platelets, these guys are responsible for the regeneration of tissue and storage of collagen and elastin. By rupturing and releasing these cells we also stimulate skin’s ‘growth factor’ much in the same way a laser treatment does and we see a surge of collagen and elastin.
That’s the good juju that gives us plumper, fresher and younger looking skin and over time stimulated in this way the skin can also breakdown and rebuild the collagen and elastin matrixes renewing and healing scar tissue.
The added bonus is all those tiny little microchannels you just punctured into your face actually absorb and make active ingredients in skincare more effective. So be sure to monopolize on this apply your retinol, vitamin C or antioxidant serum straight after rolling and be warned it may sting a little more than usual.
Ouch! Does it hurt?
Its not pleasant but definitely not as bad as you would think. It feels a little rough and almost scrapelike as it rolls over your face and the sting factor sort of amps up p as you near your third or fourth roll and it starts to feel a little hot on that area. Don’t worry with a 0.3mm needle at home roller there is no visible blood whatsoever.
A few minutes after you finish there is a heat surge as blood and your body’s ‘repair alert’ starts to respond. This feels a little hot and stingy almost like when sunburn kicks in. Skin definitely looks pink & flushed. I was really worried the first time as I thought I hadd gone too hard or did too much and my skin was going to looked grazed the next day. But be assured it doesn’t whatsoever. If you Derma Roll at night by the time you wake up the next morning skin looks back to normal.
IN FACT better than normal, it looks incredible. Plump and gloweeeeeee like I’ve never seen my skin look from an at home treatment. This is the hook. This is what will see you roll those 540 needles over your face time and again. To me it’s totally worth it.
AWE Cosmeceuticals Derma Roller
The device I have been using is the newly launched AWE Cosmeceuticals Derma Roller which has 540 x 0.3mm surgical steel needles on a small rollerhead. 0.3mm is pretty much the safest needle length for at home use (in controlled, sterile medispa and salon environments treatments can range right up to 2.0mm needling which obviously increases effectiveness but puncture wounds are deeper so also may draw some blood which means an increased healing time and infection risk)
How to use a Derma Roller at home
In essence you will be rolling the face in multiple directions to cover optimum surface area with the needles. Moving from jaw to cheeks to ear & across the forehead. These are really the zones to focus on unless you have specific scar tissue or pigmentation areas that need a little extra attention
- Right to left = one roll
- 5 x rolls in each axis direction per face section as pictured above
- So from your jaw to cheek you will roll, 5 times vertically , 5 times horizontally, 5 times diagonally inwards towards nose and finishing with five rolls diagonally out towards ear. Finish with the roller in a diagonal upwards direction, to the outside of the face. In this last outward direction, apply pressure in the upwards direction only and finish with a n upward stroke as this follows the natural lymphatic drainage path.
- Repeat on the other side of face and then the forehead
- Be sure to finish with an active serum of your choice (this may sting slightly) and optimise all these little delivery micro channels into your deeper skin layers
- Be meticulous with cleaning your roller by soaking in rubbing alcohol after each use. As you are penetrating the epidermal layer you have to be so careful about hygiene and minimise risk of infection
- You can repeat this about twice a week for best results

In a letter launched on Tuesday, FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb contacted three companies in different states to stop selling unapproved kratom products with unproven health claims. In a statement, Gottlieb stated the companies were engaged in "health fraud scams" that "pose serious health risks."
Stemmed from a plant belonging to Southeast Asia, kratom is frequently offered as pills, powder, or tea in the United States. Advocates say it helps suppress the symptoms of opioid withdrawal, which has actually led people to flock to kratom in recent years as a way of stepping down from more powerful drugs like Vicodin.
But since kratom is categorized as a supplement and has not been established as a drug, it's not subject to much federal guideline. That indicates tainted kratom tablets and powders can easily make their method to store racks-- which appears to have actually happened in a current outbreak of salmonella that has up until now sickened more than 130 individuals throughout multiple states.
Extravagant claims and little clinical research study
The FDA's current crackdown appears to be the current action in a growing divide in between supporters and regulative agencies relating to using kratom The companies the company has actually called are Front Range Kratom of Aurora, Colorado; Kratom Spot of Irvine, California and Revibe, Inc., of Kansas City, Missouri.
The claims these three companies have made include marketing the supplement as "very effective versus cancer" and recommending that their products could help in reducing the symptoms of opioid dependency.
There are couple of existing scientific studies to back up those claims. Research on kratom has found, nevertheless, that the drug take advantage of some of the very same brain receptors as opioids do. That spurred the FDA to try here classify it as an opioid in February.
Professionals state that due to the fact that of this, it makes sense that individuals with opioid use condition are relying on kratom as a way of abating their symptoms and stepping down from more effective drugs like Vicodin.
However taking any supplement that hasn't been evaluated for safety by medical specialists can be hazardous.
The threats of taking kratom.
Previous FDA screening discovered that a number of items distributed by Revibe-- one of the 3 companies called in the FDA letter-- were tainted with salmonella. Last month, as part of a request from the firm, Revibe ruined several tainted products still at its facility, but the company has yet to verify that it recalled products that had already delivered to stores.
Last month, the FDA provided its first-ever necessary recall of kratom products after those produced by Las Vegas-based Triangle Pharmanaturals were discovered to be polluted with salmonella.
As of April 5, a overall of 132 people throughout 38 states had been sickened with the germs, which can trigger diarrhea and stomach pain lasting up to a week.
Besides dealing with the risk that kratom products could carry hazardous germs, those who take the supplement have no dependable way to identify the appropriate dose. It's likewise tough to find a validate kratom supplement's complete component list or represent possibly hazardous interactions with other drugs or medications.
Kratom is currently prohibited in Australia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and numerous US states (Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Tennessee, and Wisconsin). Across the US, numerous reports of deaths and addiction led the Drug Enforcement Administration to place kratom on its list of "drugs and chemicals of concern." In 2016, the DEA proposed a restriction on kratom but backtracked under pressure from some members of Congress and an outcry from kratom advocates. | medical |

But Shelby’s story significantly deviates from the norm when you factor in his medical/health conditions.
BLEEDER raises any questions/issues beyond those that an average, healthy young man or woman might face. Although it may not seem like that long ago chronologically, the 1990s were a lifetime ago for anyone infected with HIV.
Here are some issues to talk/think about when reading/discussing Shelby Smoak’s BLEEDER:
THE STIGMA OF HIV
Although advances in science/medicine were moving quite quickly in the 1990s, acceptance of those infected by HIV was not.
There was a stigma that HIV was a gay disease. Those who revealed themselves as infected, even if they were straight, were physically and mentally ostracized from society.
Teenage HIV/AIDS sufferer Ryan White was banned from his Indiana Public School.
Discrimination was commonplace on many institutional levels, from schools to state governments to the work place.
Even revealing that one was a hemophiliac carried a stigma, as many hemophiliacs contracted HIV through various routine and necessary medical procedures.
Fear and paranoia were the rules of the day when it came to HIV in the 1990s
MORAL & ETHICAL CHOICES
When do you inform a young person that they have a potentially life threatening disease? Shelby’s parents learned he was HIV positive in 1985, but Shelby himself was not made aware of his infection until 1990, when he turned 18 years old.
Would you tell a world that fears and perhaps hates you, that you were HIV positive? Shelby and his family actively chose to hide his HIV positive status from the world outside the medial profession.
When is the right time to start having sex? The 1990s were not like previous decades when the “dangers” or having sex were pregnancy or catching an STD that was for the most part treatable if not altogether curable.
How does an awkward college student tell a potential lover that he has HIV? And what are the consequences of telling or not telling? Shelby describes several of these conversations in the book.
Are you endangering yourself by keeping your medical history and ongoing treatments secret from those around you? Shelby went through college hiding his medicine and his treatments, large and small, from almost everyone around him.
FACTS & DATA
The Center for Disease Control estimates that 20,000 hemophiliacs live in the US.
Approximately 1 in every 5000 male births is affected by hemophilia, so close to 400 hemophilic babies are born each year.
Current estimates show approximately 10-15% of hemophiliacs are HIV positive.
In 1990 AZT was the only treatment for HIV. By 1998 there were other medical options, cocktails, to treat people with HIV.
The constant medical care for a hemophiliac makes health insurance an absolute must. Add in HIV treatments and even with insurance the bills are staggering. | medical |

How do you prove you hear something only you can hear? Audiologists have tests and protocols designed to diagnose and evaluate the severity of tinnitus. Because tinnitus is often linked with hearing loss, a hearing test is usually administered along with tinnitus testing.
How much compensation do you get for tinnitus?
How Much Compensation Can You Get for Tinnitus and Hearing Loss? Most personal injury claims for tinnitus arise in car accident cases. The average value range of a claim based on tinnitus or hearing loss in an auto tort case seems to be $50,000 to $250,000.
How do you get disability for tinnitus?
In applying for disability for tinnitus, veterans generally only need to give their statement of the condition along with connection to exposure to noise in service. There may be the request for a diagnosis of the condition as well. If you have questions about disability or an appeal, contact us at 800-544-9144.
How do you prove tinnitus is service connected?
To prove a VA Tinnitus Claim, you simply have to show the 4 pillars: exposure to noise in service or symptoms in service, a current diagnosis of tinnitus, and the rating should be automatic – 10% is the highest you can get.
How long does tinnitus last on average?
On average, tinnitus will persist for 16 to 48 hours. But sometimes, symptoms can last as much as two weeks.
Do Va tinnitus claims get denied?
Many veterans do not notice that they suffer from hearing loss or tinnitus until years after their discharge, and VA will routinely deny claims for these conditions due to the delay in filing for benefits. An appeal is typically needed to win these claims.
Can tinnitus drive you crazy?
For me, and for the millions of people around the world who live with tinnitus, the medical term for ringing in the ears, the sound never stops and can drive you completely crazy.
Can I claim insomnia secondary to tinnitus?
The Board finds that the evidence supports an award of service connection for insomnia as secondary to the service-connected tinnitus. There are VA and private physicians’ opinions that are against and supportive of the secondary service connection theory of the claim.
How do they test for tinnitus?
During the test, you’ll sit in a soundproof room wearing earphones that transmit specific sounds into one ear at a time. You’ll indicate when you can hear the sound, and your results will be compared with results considered normal for your age. This can help rule out or identify possible causes of tinnitus.
What triggers tinnitus?
The most common cause of tinnitus is damage and loss of the tiny sensory hair cells in the cochlea of the inner ear. This tends to happen as people age, and it can also result from prolonged exposure to excessively loud noise. Hearing loss may coincide with tinnitus.
Is tinnitus linked to sleep apnea?
The link between sleep apnea and tinnitus is somewhat less studied. However, one recent study found that tinnitus was more common in patients who were middle aged and had a sleep disorder, especially sleep apnea. Like hearing loss, damaged cells inside your ear may be to blame for tinnitus.
Can you claim benefits for tinnitus?
If you have been exposed to very loud noise on a regular basis, you could experience a constant sound in the ear accompanied by hearing loss or damage. If someone else was to blame for your exposure to loud noises or caused you to have an accident, you could claim compensation for tinnitus.
What is secondary to tinnitus?
A secondary service-connected condition is one that resulted from a separate condition that is already service-connected. For example, if a veteran is service-connected for tinnitus and later develops one of the above-mentioned conditions as a result, they may be eligible for secondary service connection.
Is erectile dysfunction a VA disability?
Erectile dysfunction is a condition that can stand in the way of a happy, fulfilling life. If you developed erectile dysfunction during or after your military service, you may qualify to receive VA disability benefits.
What are the chances of winning a VA appeal?
The Board of Veterans’ Appeals Annual Report for Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 indicated that the VA disability appeals success rate for veterans was 35.75 percent. Specifically, out of 85,288 decisions issued, 30,492 were allowed, or granted. | medical |

Want to snack, especially at night?
These are all indications that you could have some Leptin issues. Leptin is a master hormone in the body that controls hunger and feelings of satiety. Leptin is secreted by adipose (fat) tissue, so the more overweight a person is, typically, the higher his leptin levels.
According to Mark’s Daily Apple: “Leptin is the lookout hormone – the gatekeeper of fat metabolism, monitoring how much energy an organism takes in. It surveys and maintains the energy balance in the body, and it regulates hunger via three pathways:
By counteracting the effects of neuropeptide Y, a potent feeding stimulant secreted by the hypothalamus and certain gut cells.
By counteracting the effects of anandamide, another feeding stimulant.
By promoting the production of a-MSH, an appetite suppressant.”
It is also directly tied to insulin levels. Many people these days are Leptin resistant and there are many health problems tied to this problem. High leptin levels have been tied to high blood pressure, obesity, heart disease and stroke, as well as blood sugar related problems.
High levels of Leptin and the accompanying leptin resistance can also decrease fertility, age you more quickly and contribute to obesity. If you’re trying to lose weight or improve a health problem, chances are you have Leptin resistance. If you can’t seem to stick to health changes, chances are you have Leptin resistance.
In other words, if you want to make lasting health changes or lose weight and keep it off, you have to fix your leptin. The good news is: if you’ve failed at diets or health changes in the past, it was likely because you failed to regulate your Leptin levels and doing so can help you finally make lasting changes. Leptin resistance and its related problems are a complex problem involving the endocrine system and reversing them requires more than simple calorie restriction or will power.
The Downward Spiral
Leptin is the satiety hormone produced by fat cells, so it would seem logical that those with more fat cells would produce more Leptin, which would signal the body to eat less food and weight would normalize. This over-simplified idea is great in theory, but doesn’t always occur, especially in those with damaged metabolisms or endocrine problems (which includes most overweight people).

The Health Department of Government of Kerala has launched Kerala Emergency Medical Services Project (KEMP) with the help of NRHM, Government of India. As part of this project, 25 advanced life saving ambulances are deployed at various parts of Trivandrum district. The ambulances are deployed in such a way that, when an emergency call is placed on 108, an ambulance will reach the spot within 10 minutes. A call center has been set up in Technopark, which can be reached by dialing the toll free number 108. The call center is outsourced to a private company, Ziqitza Healthcare operating from Thejaswini building, Technopark.
The ambulances are fully equipped with advanced life saving equipments. These ambulances are monitored from the control room using GPS (Global Positioning System). When a call is placed on 108, the Call Center representative verifies the details and location and contacts the nearby ambulance with the help of GPS and sends it to the location. All these happens within minutes. According to the statistics of 108 service, in most cases an ambulance reaches the location within 10 minutes. Each ambulance has two Emergency Medical Technicians.
Services of the 108 KEMP ambulance is totally free of cost. The 108 helpline can be contacted only for medical emergencies like accidents, snake bites, heart attacks, poisoning, suicide attempts, conditions due to high BP or low sugar levels, drowning etc. The ambulance service through the 108 helpline is not available for carrying dead bodies.
The KEMP project is one of the most helpful project launched by the Department of Health, Government of Kerala. Initially the service is available in Trivandrum, in the next phase, it will be extended to Alleppey. We wish the service is rolled out to entire Kerala state very soon. Next time you see a road accident or come across an emergency medical situation, don’t hesitate, just dial 108. An ambulance will there for emergency medical care and to take the suffered person to the nearest hospital within 10 minutes. | medical |

We explore the pattern of late recurrence (LR) in solitary fibrous tumor (SFT), focusing on histopathologic characteristics, clinical presentation and patients (pts) outcome.
Clinical records of all pts with confirmed pathologic diagnosis of SFT treated at our Institution from 2005 to 2011 were reviewed. We analysed the data of pts who relapsed ≥10 years after initial diagnosis.
A total of 14 pts were identified. The primary site of origin was pleura (5 pts), pelvis (4 pts), head and neck (3 pts) and retroperitoneum (2 pts). Primary tumor was a typical SFT in 5 and a malignant SFT in 7 out of 12 pts whose tumor tissue was available for revision. The median time to first recurrence was 12 years (range 10–23). The first relapse was local in 11 cases, distant in 3. Five pts later developed distant metastases. Four out of 5 cases of typical SFT developed distant metastases in spite of their initial benign aspect. No patient was disease-free at the time of the analyses.
Our series suggests that LR can occur in SFT and some cases can behave aggressively even in the absence of any primary morphologic evidence of malignancy. A prolonged follow-up may be advisable. | medical |
