drug allergy treatments :: Article Creator The (Cold) Drugs Don't Work Does PE stand for Placebo Effect? I've been blogging semi-regularly for almost 15 years and whenever I feel like I'm "blogged out" with nothing more to say, I inevitably find a topic that I've missed or forgotten to blog. When I read this post and then this paper about the dubious justification for the sale of a common cough and cold ingredient, I was frankly embarrassed that I hadn't already written about it – years ago. Because the ineffectiveness of some cough and cold products is something everyone should be aware of. We all suffer from coughs and colds. Surprisingly, while there are dozens of brands and formulations of cough and cold remedies on pharmacy shelves, they all use combinations of the same core handful of ingredients. And the evidence supporting some of these products is very, very weak. In the case of phenylephrine, included ...

cmt disease :: Article Creator Researchers Develop Technology To Treat Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) Disease The research team led by Professor Minseok Kim from the Department of New Biology at DGIST (President Yang Kuk) has developed a technology that can treat Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease, an incurable hereditary disease, with electric stimulation instead of drug therapy. This technology has considerable potential for the development of an electronic medicine with minimal side effects in the future. The core of this technology is electric stimulation that corrects the abnormal distribution of peripheral myelin protein 22 (PMP 22), the cause of the disease. The research team discovered it by conducting a series of electric stimulation experiments using a CMT disease subtype 1A (CMT1A) cell model. The study was published in the March 15 issue of the journal Biosensors and Bioelectronics. CMT disease causes muscle atrophy, numbness, foot def...

cough body aches headache :: Article Creator What's Causing My Sternum Pain? Pain in your sternum, or breastbone, may be caused by a number of things, including inflammation, a joint or collarbone injury, and acid reflux. Pain in your sternum may also happen with a heart attack, but this is more likely if you're over the age of 40 and have heart disease. Your sternum, or breastbone, connects the two sides of your rib cage together. It sits in front of many major organs located in your chest and gut, including your heart, lungs, and stomach. As a result, many conditions that don't necessarily have anything to do with your sternum may cause pain in your sternum and the surrounding area. Your first reaction to chest pain, especially severe or consistent chest pain, may be to think it's a heart attack. But in many cases, chest pain has nothing to do with your heart. This is especially true if you're under age 40 and don't...
