What’s gotten me so annoyed to write about it are radio advertisements I hear for a website that encourages people to cheat on their spouse or significant other, acting as though it were a common or even normal experience. Infidelity — or cheating, as people often refer to it — is neither common nor normal. If you’ve come to the fork in the road where you’ve cheated or are considering cheating on your partner, it’s time to acknowledge another reality — your primary romantic relationship is in trouble. Serious trouble. You can go down the easy road and cheat — because, after all, somewhere between 10 and 20 percent of people in relationships do. Or you can acknowledge something is going on with your relationshi...

In a statement, the SFDA says recent evidence found that LABAs were associated with increased risk of asthma-related deaths, intubation (the placement of a tube into the windpipe) and hospitalization of 2.8 percent for every 1,000 patients using a long-acting beta agonist compared to those who did not use such a medication. In analyzing data, the agency noted there were 16 deaths among LABA patients versus ...

I’m no fan of Brooklyn Decker (she looks like a pug!), he thinks she’s not so bad (uh-huh). The other night, we broached the topic of Jennifer Aniston: He hates her for a number of reasons, but his favorite way to sum it all up is by referring to her as “beige.” (I think he got this trick from his favorite film critic.)

That’s no wonder — the voicemails are laced with profanity, racial epithets, and threats. In a 2008 documentary, Acting Class of 1977, he first talked about being diagnosed with bipolar disorder. But are the rants to his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva related to a possible mental health diagnosis? Alcohol? Or something else? It’s not easy to answer this question, because nobody except Mel Gibson, 54, and his doctors know. All we can do is speculate, based upon observations of his reactions, tone and behavior as recorded in the voicemails that are publicly available. So let’s take a loo...

Yet this week, we are treated to a curious spectacle in which the FDA had to order at least two companies to make anticipated labeling changes for their long-acting beta-agonists, or LABAs, which should never be used alone to treat asthma (see this). The FDA warning was expected since February, but the agency strengthened its recommendations this week (see the initial and revised alerts). But GlaxoSmithKline - which sells Advair, a $7.8 billion seller - and AstraZeneca, which markets Symbicort, a $2.3 billion product - pushed back (these drugs include a corticosteroid). And so as Reuters points out, the FDA was fo...

Their role related to medicine is to approve or not approve medications, and to warn doctors of potential problems with certain types of drugs. Some doctors are now expressing concern about the latest recommendation from the FDA, calling for earlier discontinuation of certain asthma drugs. The doctors, experts in the field of treating asthma, are saying that this recommendation may be very risky for some patients. They expressed their concern at press meeting held at the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI) 2010 Annual Meeting. Last month, the FDA came out with warnings about using certain types of asthma medications after a certain amount of time (FDA Urging Caution with Asthma Pumps). The FDA bas...

For people who have asthma, these pumps and inhalers are literal life savers sometimes. Asthma medications that are inhaled by pump, disk, or inhaler, come in a couple of categories: Immediate action and prophylactic (preventative), although some medications provide a bit of both. The immediate action medications are ones such as Ventolin, which helps open the airways and allows for air exchange. The preventative ones often have long-acting beta agonist, or LABA, in them, to help keep the airway open. These medications include Advair and Symbicort, which combine LABA with corticosteroids, and Serevent and Foradi, which contain the LABA only. Because these inhaled versions of medication are everywhere, it does ...

Who is likely to have RBD?It is most common in men over the age of 50. But a new study from London confirms that it can occur in other people as well.The study reviewed a sleep center’s case files from the previous seven years. Ninety-one people had been diagnosed with RBD during that time: 62 men and 29 women.The average age of people with RBD was 52 years; 39 of the people were under the age of 50 years.In people with RBD over the age of 50, the ratio of men to women was 3:1. The male to female ratio dropped to 1.4:1 in people under 50 years of age.RBD occurred together with narcolepsy in about 38 percent of people in the younger age group.

Note: Parents should be aware that the video on the CBS Web site may not be appropriate for children.People who have RBD act out vivid dreams and nightmares as they sleep. The dreams tend to be action-packed. The dreamer may punch, kick, jump or get out of bed and run. All of this occurs while he or she is still asleep.Injuries are common. Cuts, bruises or broken bones may occur to the dreamer or to a bedpartner. "It is violent, moving nightmares,” Dr. Carlos Schenck told CBS. “It is what happens during sleep, and they end up hurting themselves or bed partners."Schenck and colleague Dr. Mark Mahowald first identified RBD, reporting on it in the journal Sleep in 1986.

In fact, YouTube is littered with similar videos. They all show sleeping dogs in various states of twitching, whimpering and moving. But few of them can match Bizkit’s full-throttle “sleep sprint.”Of course, we may never know for sure that dogs dream like we do. They can’t exactly tell us about their dreams after they wake up. Unless your dog is Scooby Doo or Astro, that conversation is unlikely to happen.But there is something even more important that we can learn from Bizkit.

But it’s also a reality for people who suffer from REM sleep behavior disorder.People who have RBD act out vivid dreams as they sleep. The dreams tend to be action-packed. The dreamer may punch, kick, jump or get out of bed and run. All of this occurs while he or she is still asleep.The disorder may sound funny. But injuries are common. Cuts, bruises or broken bones may occur to the dreamer or to a bedpartner.Why does RBD occur? Normally your brain paralyzes most muscles during the stage of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. This is the stage of sleep when you have most dreams and nightmares. RBD occurs when the brain fails to tell the muscles to remain still.RBD is similar to sleepwalking. But a sleepwalker tends t...

At the same time, Glaxo’s Advair and AstraZeneca’s Symbicort, both of which are much more widely used, have acceptable safety profiles for asthma patients. The panel reportedly voted 27-0 that Advair benefits outweighed its risks, and the committee voted 23-3, with one member abstaining, in saying the benefits outweighed the risks in adolescents ages 12 to 17 years old. Advair, by the way, is Glaxo’s biggest-selling med. The drugs are known as long-acting beta-agonists, or LABAs, and are used when asthma patients find their symp...

Doyle is playing Scrooge and Wesely is playing Marley, who visit Scrooge in ghostly form. As noted in the December 6th St. Cloud Times, both have Asperger’s Syndrome and have found acting a way to work on their social and communication skills. Elements of theater such as following a script (which enforces turn-taking in conversation), interpreting body language, developing empathy for their characters and working as a team all help with their everyday lives. Through acting, they are memorizing social cues, which can in turn become more instinctive to them offstage. “One of the cool things ab...

The drugs include Glaxo’s Advair and Serevent, AstraZeneca’s Symbicort and Novartis’ Foradil, which Schering-Plough markets in the US. The FDA staffers, in fact, also urge yanking approval of Serevent and Foradil for asthma in people of all ages and question whether LABAs should still be approved for treating ashtma (these are the FDA briefing materials). Serevent and Foradil contain LABAs only, while Advair and Symbicort com...

As I've reported before, this drug seems to be replacing--or supplementing--OxyContin as a new hillbilly heroin. And here's a new example: dude gets busted in Massachusetts for, among other things, having hundreds of Seroquel pills that he didn't have an Rx for. Clearly, he or his friends are slinging this drug and taking this drug (which simply staggers me given how gnarly this drug is when taken as intended) and, as I recently noted, some folks are so attracted (dependent? addicted?) to Seroquel that they will fake symptoms of...

An FDA alert was issued in 2005; last November, an FDA panel recommended more warnings for kids both Advair and Glaxo’s Serevent, which doesn’t include a steroid; and the agency asked drugmakres for more data as a prelude to an advisory committee meeting later this year. In an attempt to get out in front of the controversy, Glaxo sponsored a review in the Annals of Internal Medicine shows that Advair decreases the risk of severe side effects, doesn’t appear to alter the risk for hospitalization, and may not change the risk for asthma-related deaths when compared with the use of steroids alone. In reaching this conclusion, the resea...

I read the book more than 15 years ago but it is the title which sticks with me most as an apt descriptor of the therapeutic process. Several people commented about or emailed me about the intense attack Alex, of In Treatment makes against Paul asking me more about my view. This builds on the notion of acting out that I wrote about last. For those who do not remember or did not see, Alex came into a session and reveals that he has investigated Paul, allegedly because it is important for him to know who he is talking with, and he then unleashes a barrage of very personal things he has learned about Paul's wife and daughter.

I absorbed the basic science of high and low blood sugars, and how he needed daily insulin to regulate his blood sugar. But little did I expect an awaiting surprise.
