Understanding Arthritis Painkillers DMARDS
2008-05-12 22:51:00
When you have arthritis pain, you need relief. But with so many warnings in the news about painkillers, it's hard to know the best choice. Many medications that ease arthritis pain have the potential for health risks, including increased risk for heart attack, stomach problems, or infections. You have difficult decisions to make, whether you're fighting pain from osteoarthritis that comes with age -- or pain from rheumatoid arthritis, a debilitating immune disorder. Do you somehow tough out the pain? Or do you accept the risk because your pain requires it, and take the drug for arthritis? Which drug is right for your body? And which medicine may work best for your type of arthritis?Easing arthritis pain can help someone with osteoarthritis "get up and going, and get walking," White tells WebMD. "If you have osteoarthritis, losing 15 pounds will stop the progression of your disease and reduce your pain. Then you can quit taking the pain medication!" Although pain from rheumatoid a...

Fibromyalgia Pain 10 Tips for Better Sleep
2008-05-10 18:42:00
Do you toss and turn at night because of fibromyalgia pain or discomfort?"People with fibromyalgia tend to have very disturbed sleep"Research shows that with fibromyalgia, there is an automatic arousal in the brain during sleep. Frequent disruptions prevent the important restorative processes from occurring. Growth hormone is mostly produced during sleep. Without restorative sleep and the surge of growth hormone, muscles don’t heal and neurotransmitters (like the mood chemical serotonin) are not replenished. The lack of a good night’s sleep makes people with fibromyalgia wake up feeling tired and fatigued.The result: The body can't recuperate from the day's stresses -- all of which overwhelms the system, creating a great sensitivity to pain. Widespread pain, sleep problems, anxiety, depression, fatigue, and memory difficulties are all symptoms of fibromyalgia.Insomnia takes many forms -- trouble falling asleep, waking up often during the night, having trouble going back to sle...

Cosmeceuticals
2008-05-04 19:49:00
Cosmeceuticals are largely aimed at the anti-aging market. Women are encouraged to start slowing the aging process early and many women in their early twenties are already spending vast amounts of money to make sure they still look good at 60.However, it is a case of 'buyer beware' when purchasing a skin care Product that holds out the promise of younger-looking skin. Consumer Reports published results last year demonstrating that there's no correlation between the price of a product and its effectiveness. And of the nine creams tested, not one of them was "noticeably effective" in reducing wrinkles. Many doctors are reluctant to recommend untested cosmeceutical products and manufacturers tend to rely heavily on celebrity endorsement rather than science to boost sales. One recent skincare product that is the result of high-tech research and new ingredients and is backed by science and recommended by doctors, is 21st Century's shielding lotion Skin MD Natural.It's a safe and ef...

Two faced baby
2008-04-04 11:46:00
This two faced baby is only a few days old (Born Monday, March 10) and she was born in India. These illiterate people start worshiping. I hope they get medical treatment asap, I think doctors should take care, as medical assessment and possible operations, if needed, could upset the community. It’s interesting to see if this baby will not have any acute cerebral issues. I would guess it was gonna be twins, and apparently, the cells just stopped dividing. I’m sure there are many other medical issues that are present, that just are not being publicized like the obvious.Find the medical reason for that

2008-03-31 20:19:00
A 10 year old boy, had eaten pineapple about 15 days back, and fell! sick, from the day he had eaten. Later when he had his Health check done... doctors diagnosed that he had AIDS.His parents couldn't believe it....Then the entire family under went a checkup... none of them suffered from Aids. So the doctors checked again with the boy if he had eaten out...The boy said "yes". He had pineapple that evening. Immediately a group from Mallya hospital went to the pineapple vendor to check.They found the pineapple seller had a cut on his finger while cutting the pineapple; his blood had spread into the fruit. When they had his blood checked...the guy was suffering from AIDS...but he himself was NOT aware. Unfortunately the boy is suffering from it now.Please take care while u eat on the road side (particularly tasty vada pav & Paani Puri).

SWEET POISON
2008-03-20 17:22:00
In October of 2001, my sister started getting very sick. She had stomach spasms and she was having a hard time getting around. Walking was a major chore. It took everything she had just to get out of bed; she was in so much pain.By March 2002, she had undergone several tissue and muscle biopsies and was on 24 various prescription medications. The doctors could not determine what was wrong with her. She was in so much pain, and so sick. she just knew she was dying. She put her house, bank accounts, life insurance, etc., in her oldest daughter's name, and made sure that her younger children were to be taken care of. She also wanted her last hooray, so she planned a trip to Florida (basically in a wheelchair) for March 22nd.On March 19 I called her to ask how her most recent tests went, and she said they didn't find anything on the test, but they believe she had MS. I recalled an article a friend of mine e-mailed to me and I asked my sister if she drank diet soda? She told me that ...

Rotator cuff
2008-03-07 18:55:00
Anyone who has suffered an inflamed or torn rotator cuff knows the pain involved. The pain varies in intensity. Sometimes it's a burning sensation. At other times it's a dull ache. It affects the way you move your shoulder. Many patients report that the morning is the worst, especially if you tossed around in sleep then ended up putting pressure on it. What is the best type of rotator cuff pillow to protect your injury during sleep? Is there an affordable option that can help protect your injury while you're deep in slumber?Many doctors don't suggest that you buy a "rotator cuff pillow" but rather follow a simple sleep routine that you can conform to using the pillows you currently own.Since many patients report that the first few days can be awful when trying to find a comfortable sleeping position, doctors have suggested that patients try sleeping in a recliner chair rather than flat on their back or support the elbow with one or two pillows when lying down so it doesn't slid...

6 Minutes Snap to a Sharper Memory
2008-03-07 18:21:00
We know now that restful sleep helps us to consolidate our memories, among other great things it does for us. And we also know that naps can have similar, albeit smaller-scale benefits. But a "nap" is generally thought of as being either a 20-minute "power" version or a longer one that allows you to go through a full cycle of sleep (through all the 4 stages, not just the first two). Or is it.You can really benefit from a mini, 6-minute nap.In a new study just published, German researchers have shown that if you nap just six itty-bitty minutes during the day, it will not only make you feel better but will also improve your ability to learn and remember.Here's how the scientists at the University of Düsseldorf figured it out:First, they asked university students to memorize a list of 30 words. Afterwards, the participants were either allowed to play a video game or to take a nap in a quiet room. The napping times were varied, though. Some students were allowed to take a 50-minute ...

Bioavailability
2008-03-04 02:57:00
Bioavailability is a pharmacokinetic term that describes the rate and extent to which the active drug ingredient is absorbed from a drug product and becomes available at the site of drug action. Since pharmacologic response is generally related to the concentration of drug at the receptor site, the availability of a drug from a dosage form is a critical element of a drug product's clinical efficacy. However, drug concentrations usually cannot be readily measured directly at the site ofaction. Therefore, most bioavailability studies involve the determination of drug concentration in the blood or urine. This is based on the premise that the drug at the site of action is in equilibrium with drug in the blood. It is therefore possible to obtain an indirect measure of drug response by monitoring drug levels in the blood or urine. Thus, bioavailability is concerned with how quickly and how much of a drug appears in the blood after a specific dose is administered. The bioavailability of a...
