Most people searching PubMed try to get rid of publications about animals. But basic scientists and lab animal technicians just want to find those animal studies. PubMed has built-in filters for that: the limits. There is a limit  for “humans” and a limit for “animals”.

This was how [...] (Source: Laika's MedLibLog) Laika's MedLibLog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3729824 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 01:13:29 +0100 3729824 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3666246&cid=t_202177_160_f&fid=36189&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.skinmdblog.com%2F166%2Feczema-treatment-with-hydrocortisone-or-natural-shea-butter%2F Hydrocortisone is sometimes recommended as an eczema treatment.  It is a weak steroid that can be purchased over the counter.  Although steroids do not cure the condition, they do reduce the inflammation pretty quickly. The only problem is that our body’s build up a tolerance to steroids over time.  So they can stop working just as quickly.  If they do continue to work and are used for extended periods of time, they can cause the skin to become thin and fragile. If used over large areas of the body, steroids can cause health problems within the body.  We must remember that anything we put on the outside of our bodies can pass through the skin and into the inside of our bodies.  If it is something like a steroid hormone, it can cause a variety of health problems. Steroids repress th...
