ANTIBIOTICS: How much is too much?
My 10-year old and my 4-year old both do great when they are on antibiotics such as Bactrim or Zyvox. Their coughs almost disappear. However, 24 to 48 hours after they get off the antibiotics, their coughs return. They both only culture MRSA. What I want to know is what issues are caused by just putting them on these antibiotics every couple of weeks and are these issues bigger than not putting them on these antibiotics every two weeks. Thoughts? (Source: Cystic Fibrosis Families Forum)

What is Molecular Epidemiology?
Molecular epidemiology contributes to the understanding of the pathogenesis of disease by identifying specific pathways, molecules and genes that influence the risk of developing disease, determining health and disease in families and in populations and the interplay of such molecular factors with environmental factors.

Surprising Results with Essential Oils! Give it a Go!
**This by no means is "official" help for CF. This is simply my experience and what I have discovered from personal use. Sorry for the lengthy post but it is worth reading. Also, I'm trying to help and post this to a lot of my CF forums so it might be filled with some obvious info.
MY PROBLEMS: I have not had many issues until 5 years ago. For the first couple of those years I was required to have 2 week hospital admissions for IV antibiotics every few months, then as time progressed and my lungs continued to scar my admissions became more frequent causing more resistance to various antibiotics. A big problem w...

Is medicine a mistake in my case?
Considering that I'm not even in medical school yet, your first instinct is probably going to be to say that I'm getting ahead of myself and I should wait to ask the sort of things I am in this thread but I think I need to consider this carefully before going ahead with medicine and potentially realising that I made a huge mistake in career choice so I hope you bear with me here!
I'm currently in my first year of Physics and Philosophy at Oxford and want to go for GEM after finishing my degree. My dilemma is whether I'm going into medicine 'for the right reasons' or at least with the right mindset.
My ambition is to event...

Abby Clinic Update
I have updated everyone on facebook but I haven't been on here in quite some time because I have been on my first Vacation since Abby was diagnosed. I actually got to take my full 2 weeks and didn't have to spend my entire vacation at the hospital!!! It was fantastic!!! It would have been better had we have not been broke but still loving life with Kalydeco!!! So Abby has been taking Kalydeco since June 28, 2012. We went to clinic a couple of weeks ago and discovered that we had a completely new CF team! Dr was gone...fellow leaving...and nurse had a baby and not coming back. Wow!! So here is the comparison:

Navy Wow, how bout some love?
I've been planning to apply Navy HSPS for several years, read up on research/talked with scholarship recipients much as I could. But those my age haven't graduated into active service yet, and older generation I know served in a very different time.
Reading this forum has me a bit spooked. so many people seem miserable. Is this just selection bias, unhappy people more likely to submit? Can I get some stories on those who love their residency programs and would have made the same decision even without the money?
Bit of back story, 35MCAT/3.7sGPA + two years research and a nature publication. I want to do epidemiology rese...

infectious disease match results
Anyone have this? Or a list of unfilled programs, at least? I was not a match participant but would like to see this list if anyone has it. Couldn't find it anywhere on here. Yes, I'm talking about the academic year that begins this July.
Thanks in advance.
