Tips For Making Flu Shots Easier On Kids... And Parents 1 CommentDiscuss or comment on this article.
Source: Health News from Medical News Today Category: Consumer Health News
Latest Comment by Frankie Dolan - September 26, 2009: Since I was always recommended to give my children a spoon of Calpol/Tylenol after their shots to keep any fever down as a result of their vaccines, I decided to instead start giving them the spoon of medicine about 45 minutes before the vaccine, thereby avoiding any fever in the first place and also reducing the pain felt at the time of the vaccine. Seemed like common sense to me and seemed to reduce any discomfort since they never cried when receiving injections after I started doing this (whereas they did before). Nice to read here that this approach is being recommended by professionals.

It seemed to me that when I did the calculations, there was a much greater risk of her suffering a serious reaction to the vaccine, than contracting HPV and then going on to develop cancer as a result of the virus 'within the time period that protection from the vaccine offered' (an important point that I think is overlooked when calculating how many lives will be saved compared to the risk of the vaccine). It is unclear as to the exact time for which the vaccine offers protection, but it is not guaranteed for more than ...

Latest Comment by Michelle D - September 7, 2009: Ok here's my take on this issue. Even though using cell phones increases the risk of cancer, or any health risk at all, the world is just not going to stop and drop all cell phones. Cell phones are vital amongst us, and will not be dismissed easily. The world's population would have been radically reduced if humans are so vulnerable to cancers and by using cell phones we get diseases. But that's not the case as of now, therefore it is still safe to use the cell phones. At least, when one gets the risk, other people also gets it. -Michelle Quickest Way to Lose Weight Fasting to Lose Weight

Latest Comment by Frankie Dolan - July 15, 2009: I was wondering if the quantity of the virus with which you get infected may have a difference on the severity of your illness. This interesting article suggests that it may. When a head teacher in the US died of the illness I wondered whether being a head teacher at a school where there was a significant outbreak he had been in contact with a massive dose of the virus which may have effected his outcome. This makes me think that taking extra care with cleanliness is important even if you think that contamination is inevitable, since at least you may minimise any does of this illness that you do eventually get. It a...

Latest Comment by Andre - July 15, 2009: I have issues with the statement: "Standard points outside of the range of quantification (anchor calibrators) are often used to assist in fitting these nonlinear regression models". I agree that anchor points are very helpful in assisting curve fitting, but without defining set rules on how to decide whether they are actually improving the curve, I fear that anchor point rejection remains too subjective. I have read in many places that anchor points should not have the precision & accuracy acceptance criteria used for non-anchor points; I agree, but then what criteria should we use? Some type of sum of squares calculation...

Latest Comment by xen - July 14, 2009: “It is very important that members of the public do not panic, and continue to follow health advice about swine flu and managing it if they are infected. The vast majority will recover quickly by taking paracetamol or ibuprofen and drinking plenty of fluids.” So exactly what are you telling us now? that swine flu goes away with paracetamol? The impression was that until now anyone with swine flu was being treated with antivirals. Does the NHS actually have and use that Tamiflu stockpile they have been telling us about or not?

Latest Comment by Frankie Dolan - July 10, 2009: I find it frustrating that very little information is released about the fatalities and serious cases (either here in the UK or elsewhere). I understand that there is an issue of patient confidentiality, but it may help to prevent such cases if we all knew a little more. We don’t need to know who this patient was, for example, but it would be useful know how long they were ill, and at what point medical help was sought. Do we, for example, need to be most watchful when symptoms start, or a week into the illness, or with the prolonged cases where people are taking longer to get better? And clearly when do we need to se...

Latest Comment by Andrzej - July 9, 2009: Mr. Calacicco should explore area of compromised PAXIL (paroxetine hydrochloride) tablets and/or heavily contaminated as a cause of death of his wife. The extraordinarily lucrative pharmaceutical industry has long been driven more by profit, power and policy then pills or concern to Health and Safety.

Latest Comment by iseu nunes - July 2, 2009: Although this compound was originally intended for cancer treatment and it has been shown to have anti-tumour activity, P-MAPA also modulates the production of interferon-gamma and interleukin-10, known to be key substances in the body’s defences against TB, malaria and other infectious diseases. This had led the developers (Farmabrasilis--a non profit research network) to put forward a new approach to treating patients with these conditions - including those co-infected with HIV - which would involve attempting to re-establish patients’ immunocompetence by adjuvant immunotherapy with P-MAPA.

Vioxx Attorney Denied Admission In New Jersey Court 1 CommentDiscuss or comment on this article.

Latest Comment by Another vioxx victim - June 26, 2009: Shouldn't a claimant have the right to obtain counsel that is familiar with the Vioxx litigation and have them admitted pro hac vice in order to represent their client in that matter? The decision to allow that attorney admittance should be up to the client, especially when the disciplinary action was based on an event that happened years ago and was resolved at that time, and the client is aware of those actions. Especially since Merck has tied the hands of any other attorney that is participating in the Vioxx litigation. It appears to me that this lawyer that wants to be admitted pro hac vice is not owned by Merck.

I dont think exclusive breast feeding has any thing to do with it.
