  • Ultram Story: Keeping Pain Control Under Control

    When Aspirin Isn’t Enough

    It’s surprising how clearly we can recall getting hurt. Years later, we can recount our first fall from a too-tempting tree, a bee-sting, the birth of a child. We can even tell humorous stories about those events because the pain was transient – it passed.

    But many illnesses and conditions can make pain a daily visitor, interfering with our jobs, family lives, even sleep. Even ancient people tried to relieve the devastation of chronic pain using surgeries and medicinal herbs. By the 1800s, people started using narcotics (drugs like opium) to redu ...

  • Alzheimer Disease and Antioxidants

    At the present time, one out of ten adults have some form of Alzheimer disease. According to Dr. Greengard, Director of the Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Research at the Rockefeller University, that number is expected to strike up to three times as many in the coming decades. Alzheimer's is considered a disease of the elderly and with the average lifespan of the US population rising to 74, a solution to the medical problem is being sought.

    For Scientists the largest concern is what causes Alzheimer's and how can it be eradicated. For possible victims and their families it is how do we ...

  • Beauty Today: All Smoke and Mirrors?
    Did you ever notice that the bar is continually being raised on exactly
    what physical characteristics define beauty? As I sit in front of the
    TV, I am bombarded by beauties with pouty lips, perfect bone structure,
    flawless skin, more "voluptuous" upper regions, size 2 waists, and hair
    that resembles spun silk. Take these same beauties and plop them back
    in time 20-30 years, when the advent of modern cosmetic technology had not even begun to reach its full potential. Do you think they would have had those same attributes you find yourself longing for when faced with these image ...

    Genetics News:

    Genetic testing still smart choice, despite uncertainties
    Preimplantation genetic diagnosis has been used for more than a decade to screen embryos for hereditary diseases such as Down syndrome and other abnormalities. To do this, one cell from an eight-cell embryo is extracted and examined for chromosomal defects. However, as many as half these embryos spawn cells with different genetic information as they divide, giving doctors an inaccurate idea of how the embryo will continue to develop.

  • A Stitch In Time Saves Nine - Prevention not Cure

    It is a sad fact that most people pay little attention to their health until it is at risk. It is only then that people truly realise that health and wellbeing is far more important than money, and that all the money in the world cannot always buy health.

    From an early age we learn that prevention is better than cure - a stitch in time saves nine. Nowhere is this more true than in caring for our health, and with our health we don't always get a second chance if something goes wrong.

    With the exception of some factors determined by genetics our general state of health is essentia ...

  • Why Are Antioxidants Important To Me?

    Did you know that when we breath oxygen, it interacts with certain molecules in our bodies to create free radicals and that these free radicals damage important cellular structures such as DNA and cell membranes? Well, it is true and this damage may cause cells to function poorly and mutate. Free radical damage may lead to disease and aging.

    We are exposed to huge amounts of free radicals from pollution, and pesticides. Every time you breathe, you take in millions of free radical molecules created by cigarette smoke, radiation, and automobile emissions. Every time you eat, you consume ...

  • SINUS CYSTIC FIBROSIS INFECTION: A closer look
    Have you heard of the infection called Sinus Cystic Fibrosis Infection? From the name itself it sounds for a serious ailment isn’t it? What is this all about and how does it affects future sufferers? Let’s try to figure out how!

    According to scientific research Sinus cystic fibrosis infection is an inherited disorder of the exocrine glands, affecting children and young people. It is caused by a genetic abnormality in the sinus cystic fibrosis infection transmembrane conductance regulator gene that results in the disruption of chloride transfer across cell membranes. As a consequence, ch ...
