Using Antibiotics For Acne Control
2008-05-07 04:14:00 Antibiotics for acne do a number of things. Probably the most significant is that they decrease the number of bacteria in and around the hair follicle. Effectively, antibiotics work by reducing the chemicals produced by the white blood cells which irritate the skin. Antibiotics for acne also reduce the inflammatory response by lowering the concentration of free fatty acids in the sebum. Topical antibiotics eliminate the propionibacterium which is the organism largely responsible for aggravating acne. How long a person needs to take antibiotics for acne will depend on the severity of the infection. There are two main types of antibiotics for acne: oral and topical. Some of the most commonly prescribed antibiotics for acne are: CLINDAMYCIN. Clindamycin can be used as a gel or a lotion, however, if you have ulcerative colitis or antibiotic-induced colitis should avoid this product. It is a topical antibiotic and must not be taken orally. TETRACYCLINE. Tetracycline is ...

Using Isotretinoin and Antibiotics To Treat Severe Acne
2008-03-19 14:06:00 Unlike other forms of acne, sufferers of severe acne have to follow some intensive treatment. Depending on the condition, the doctor may advise combination therapy with which you can control and cure acne so that you get minimum scars from the acne attack. Severe acne treatment includes physical and oral treatments like Isotretinoin, oral contraceptives for women, oral antibiotics, injection of corticosteroid in the acne lesion and surgical procedures. The best treatment for cystic acne is isotretinoin as it is a form of vitamin A. its course is a pill or two a day, for twenty weeks, following the dermatologist’s prescription. It should never be taken without any medical supervision. Isotretinoin is great for curing acne because it treats all four factors that start acne like excess oil, inflammation, bacteria and clogged pores. However isotretinoin has some side effects. As isotretinoin can damage a developing fetus, women have to visit the doctor frequently when taki...

Antibiotics overused in Alzheimer patients
2008-02-26 17:01:00 Should people with Alzheimer's disease/dementia be treated with antibiotics? According to a new study, they say that antibiotics are being overused in patients with dementia and antibiotic use should be considered more carefully especially in this time of antibiotic resistant superbugs. (AP)The study raises ethical questions about when it's acceptable to withhold perhaps futile treatment and let people die, and whether public health issues should ever be considered."Advanced dementia is a terminal illness," said study co-author Dr. Susan Mitchell, a senior scientist with the Harvard-affiliated Hebrew Senior Life Institute for Aging Research in Boston. "If we substituted 'end-stage cancer' for 'advanced dementia,' I don't think people would have any problem understanding this."People wouldn't have a problem understanding this? Of course, when you paint a picture like that. Here's the question, though- What is advanced dementia? There really is no consensus definition. Of cou...

UK docs told not to prescribe antibiotics for minor ailments
2008-02-04 11:46:00 England’s Chief Medical Officer Sir Liam Donaldson has expressed concern over unnecessary prescription of antibiotics to treat minor ailments such as coughs, colds and sore throats, in a third of all cases. He insists that the proper use of antibiotics was vital in the battle against superbugs such as MRSA. However, he adds, the liberal use of medicines has led to bugs becoming resistant to treatment. Donaldson’s statement comes as the Government launches a 270-million-pound campaign on the unnecessary use of drugs such as penicillin. He has revealed that many studies show that the level of inappropriate prescriptions of antibiotics is between 25 to 35 per cent. "If you had that level of error in dealing with people's cheques, their back accounts and their statements, it would be an unacceptably high level and yet in health care we tolerate this sort of error rate," the Telegraph quoted him as saying. Donaldson stresses th...

Over use of Antibiotics are on the increase. Natural Remedies can help you.
2008-01-05 06:56:00 Here are some results of a study on antibiotic resistance being funded in Massachusetts by the federal government:Early state findings suggest that some doctors may be contributing to overuse of drugs by prescribing them without seeing the patient, or by giving in to patients' demands for antibiotics even when they're not needed. The harm in this is that the overuse of antibiotics increases the chance thatbacteria can breed new strains able to survive the drug rendering it ineffective. Drugs are also stored in the body and can cause illness and dis-ease down the road.What one Dr. says is happeningA survey carried out by the state agency that oversees Medicaid showed that 44 percent of prescriptions written for 76,000 mostly low income Mass. Health members in 1999 were given without seeing the patient in an office visit, said Dr. Annette Hanson, director of the state Division of Medical Assistance.Most of these prescriptions were for ear infections in children, which are often caus...
Antibiotics Use Dramatically Raises Risk of Asthma in Infants
2007-12-24 20:30:00 Using antibiotics in the first year of life may significantly increase a child's risk of contracting asthma by age 7, according to a study conducted by researchers at University of Manitoba and McGill University in Montreal and published in "CHEST," the journal of the American College of Chest Physicians.The researchers examined a prescription database that included information on 13,116 children and compared incidence of asthma with a variety of risk factors, including antibiotic use, gender, maternal asthma history, living location, neighborhood income, the presence of pets in the home and the number of siblings at the age of seven.The study concluded that those who had received antibiotics for the treatment of a non-respiratory tract infection in their first year were twice as likely to suffer from asthma at the age of seven than those who had not. The higher the number of treatments, the higher the child's risk of asthma.Eighty-seven percent of children who had received antibi...

Ear Infection Superbug Found Resistant To All Pediatric Antibiotics
2007-11-20 15:26:00 Ear Infection Superbug Discovered To Be Resistant to All Pediatric Antibiotics Researchers have discovered a strain of bacteria resistant to all approved drugs used to fight ear infections in children, according to an article published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). A pair of pediatricians discovered the strain because it is their standard practice to perform an uncommon procedure called tympanocentesis (ear tap) on children when several antibiotics fail to clear up their ear infections. The procedure involves puncturing the child’s eardrum and draining fluid to relieve pressure and pain. Analyzing the drained fluid is the only way to describe the bacterial strain causing the infection. Even after the ear tap and additional rounds of antibiotics, infections persisted in a small group of children in a Rochester, New York, pediatric practice, leading to ear tube surgery and, in one case, to permanent hearing loss. The physicians realized they may be...

Factor key to severity of community-associated methicillin-resistant staph
2007-11-12 00:59:00 Newly described proteins in drug-resistant strains of the Staphylococcus aureus bacterium attract and then destroy protective human white blood cells?a key process ensuring that S. aureus survives and causes severe disease, according to scientists at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health.S. aureus disease is a global public health concern because some strains, including community-associated methicillin resistant S. aureus (CA-MRSA), have developed resistance to existing antibiotics. The NIAID scientists hope to use this finding to advance development of new therapeutic treatments.In a study published online in Nature Medicine, Michael Otto, Ph.D., and his colleagues at NIAID?s Rocky Mountain Laboratories (RML) describe how novel members of the phenol-soluble modulin (PSM) protein family help determine disease severity and eliminate immune defense mechanisms against CA-MRSA.?This elegant work helps reveal the comp...
New AHA guidelines for antibiotics and dental procedures.
2007-11-07 22:24:00 The American Heart Association (AHA) believed for decades that dental patients with heart disease should premedicate with antibiotics before dental procedures. It was determined that premedication would prevent bacteria from entering the bloodstream and creating an infection in the heart’s lining or valves.New research shows that the risks of preventive antibiotics outweigh the benefits for most patients because our hearts are exposed to bacteria from our mouths through daily brushing and flossing, which are more likely to cause IE (infective endocarditis) than a dental procedure.The AHA’s new guidelines recommend that, “most of these patients no longer need short-term antibiotics as a preventive measure before their dental treatment.”The following people who routinely took prophylactic antibiotics in the past no longer need to:1. Mitral valve prolapse2. Rheumatic heart disease3. Bicuspid valve disease4. Calcified aortic stenosis5. Congenital heart conditions: ventricular se...

New viruses to treat MRSA Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
2007-10-22 03:35:00 New viruses to treat bacterial diseases -- 'My enemies' enemy is my friend'Viruses found in the River Cam in Cambridge, famous as a haunt of students in their punts on long, lazy summer days, could become the next generation of antibiotics, according to scientists speaking at the Society for General Microbiology?s 161st Meeting at the University of Edinburgh, UK.With antibiotics now over-prescribed for treatments of bacterial infections, and patients failing to complete their courses of treatment properly, many bacteria are able to pick up an entire array of antibiotic resistance genes easily by swapping genetic material with each other.MRSA ? the multiple drug resistant strain of Staphylococcus aureus - and newly emerging strains of the superbug Clostridium difficile have forced medical researchers to realise that an entirely different approach is required to combat these bacteria.?By using a virus that only attacks bacteria, called a phage ? and some phages only attack specific...

MRSA: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
2007-10-19 03:25:00 Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a type of bacteria that is resistant to certain antibiotics. A new report highlights that most MRSA infections are associated with healthcare setttings.MRSA, or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, caused more than 94,000 life-threatening infections and nearly 19,000 deaths in the United States in 2005, most of them connected with healthcare settings. These numbers appear in the October 17, 2007, edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)1, as part of the most thorough study to date of trends in invasive MRSA infections.MRSA stands for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. This type of bacteria causes "staph" infections that are resistant to treatment with usual antibiotics.MRSA occurs most frequently among patients who undergo invasive medical procedures or who have weakened immune systems and are being treated in hospitals and healthcare facilities such as nursing homes and dialysis centers...

Use Of Antibiotics For Treating Acne:
2007-10-05 06:31:00 Acne is a skin condition that tends to be rather troublesome to many people. There are many over the counter medications that can be used for treating acne. However if you suffer from chronic acne, you will have to visit a doctor or dermatologist who may prescribe antibiotics to cure and control acne. There are basically two types of antibiotics available today which are oral and topical antibiotics. The topical antibiotics are antibiotics which are externally applied like erythromycin, stiemycin, clindamycin or tetracycline. These topical antibiotics work at killing bacteria found in the blocked follicles that cause acne. Though these antibiotics prove to be as effective as oral antibiotics, there is the benefit of not suffering from side effects like stomach upset or drug interactions with tablets like the oral contraceptive pill. However to many, application of topical antibiotics over large areas, other than the face prove to be rather inconvenient. The oral antibiotics...

Prescribing of Antibiotics to Children Still at a Level to Cause Drug Resis
2007-08-04 11:05:00 Regular prescribing of antibiotics to children in the community is sufficient to sustain a high level of antibiotic resistance in the population, warn experts in a study published on bmj.com today.UK general practitioners are strongly encouraged to reduce antibiotic prescribing to minimise the risk of drug resistance, yet prescribing antibiotics to children remains common practice, write David Mant and colleagues at the University of Oxford.A paper published in 1999 reported that over half (55%) of children aged 0-5 years in the UK (the group of patients who receive most antibiotics in the community) receive an average of 2.2 prescriptions for a beta-lactam antibiotic like amoxicillin from their general practitioner each year.They identified 119 children attending general practices in Oxfordshire with acute respiratory tract infection, of whom 71 received a beta-lactam antibiotic (amoxicillin) and 48 received no antibiotic.
