The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) has estimated that the demand for tooth whitening has increased by 300% over the past decade. Tooth whitening is the number one dental procedure requested by people under the age of 20 and between the ages of 30 and 50. Initially, tooth whitening was performed in the dentist’s office and this might require several visits. The process has become simpler and is now offered as an over the counter product allowing people to perform their own tooth whitening. Two companies, Procter & Gamble and Colgate Palmolive, dominate the market for over the counter tooth whitening products. As of 2003, these companies had about 84% of the market. Americans spent about... dental blog for dentists about dentistry blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3200547 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 18:46:54 +0100 3200547 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2793222&cid=t_160637_109_f&fid=35671&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.anxietyinsights.info%2Fbrainwave_patterns_may_predict_how_effective_an_antidepress.htm UCLA researchers develop biomarker for rapid relief of major depression Mark Wheeler - MedNet UCLA BRITE uses similar technology to Aspect's BIS anesthesia monitoring system It is a long, slow slog to treat major depression. Many antidepressants are available, but no single biomarker or diagnostic test exists to predict which one is right for an individual. As a result, for more than half of all patients, the first drug prescribed doesn't work, and it may take months to figure out what does. Now, based on the final results of a nationwide study led by UCLA, clinicians may be able to accurately predict within a week whether a particular drug will be effective by using a non-invasive test that takes less than 15 minutes to administer. The test will allow physicians to quickly switch patients...

BRITE trial results demonstrate that the EEG-based Antidepressant Treatment Response (ATR) indicator is a significant predictor of patient response and remission when used after one week of treatment with the antidepressant escitalopram. "We are pleased that the results of the BRITE trial indicate that early changes in frontal EEG signals carry important information about future clinical response, as this reinforces our confidence that an EEG-based biomarker has the potential to help clinicians improve the care o...

The BRITE trial was conducted in collaboration with leading investigators from 10 facilities across the United States and enrolled more than 300 patients. Patient response was defined by researchers as a 50 percent improvement in depression symptoms as measured by the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) after seven weeks of treatment, and remission was defined as recovery from depression (HAM-...

And, more often than not, us asking him to do something else, to stop looking, to respond to a question, led to loud unhappiness. Healthbolt has a recent post, The Evil Gleam that is not about the glint of jealousy in a person’s eye, but about flicker illness, about which the November 10th New Scientist notes: DO YOU love watching sunlight dancing on water or flickering through church railings? Well, you’d better be careful, because there’s a dark side to light. Those dancing images can trigger flicker illness, a term ...
