Why Former FDA Commissioner, Scott Gottlieb, Joined the Aetion Board | Carolyn Magil, CEO Aetion
By JESSICA DAMASSA, WTF HEALTH
Big news from Aetion CEO, Carolyn Magil, as she talks about the addition of former FDA Commissioner, Scott Gottlieb, to her Board. WHOA. What a HUGE endorsement of support for what Aetion is building…which is what, exactly? Carolyn explains how the company is using real world data (any data outside of clinical trial data) to figure out how different people will react to the same drug. That means they’re using data from health insurance claims, EMRs, wearables, pharma registries, etc. to ultimately save the time, money, and headache of finding out which medicines will work best ...

Stopping the vicious cycle of rebound headaches
Rebound headaches, also known as medication overuse headaches, are caused by the frequent or excessive use of pain-relieving and/or antimigraine drugs to treat headache attacks that are already in progress. (Note that these are not the same as oral prophylactic or preventive medicines, which should be taken daily.) In other words, the same medications that initially relieve headache pain can themselves trigger subsequent headaches if they are used too often. Medication overuse headaches can be disabling, forcing people with this condition to take sick leave and to be less productive at work and home.
To be diagnosed with m...

Virtual Hydrogens
ConclusionHydrogen is ubiquitous in organic molecules. Organic chemists discovered long ago that drawing every hydrogen leads to noise. Cheminformatics inherited both hydrogen-suppressed drawings and representation formats born in relative computational poverty. Somehow we've muddled along, using the term "implicit hydrogens" in the most inappropriate places. The result has been garbled communication and inconsistency.Virtual hydrogens supply the missing piece. They are easy to spot as an explicit integer hydrogen count associated with a specific atom. Virtual and atomic hydrogens can be mixed freely, provided that desirab...

What is Detoxing from Suboxone Like?
According to their website, Suboxone is a prescription medicine used to treat adults who are addicted to and dependent on opioid drugs. This can mean either prescription or illegal drugs. Suboxone is used as part of a complete treatment program that also includes counseling and behavioral therapy. Even though Suboxone is used as a means to transition people off of opioid addiction, an addiction to Suboxone itself may occur. Detoxing from Suboxone is the final stage in medication-assisted treatment and can at times be uncomfortable.

Stress
I’ve written about panic attacks in the past. This post is not about that, however; it’s about day-to-day life and the pressure we all deal with. It just happens to be mine.
My wife, Martha, had a fall three days after I had my knee operated on. I may have mentioned that in a previous post, but to be sure I’d have to go look back. In any case, when she fell she had some soft tissue injuries to her face which required stitches, plus she had what we expected to be a concussion and the symptoms that usually go with it, including a headache and double vision, nausea, and some weakness. Normally those sympt...

Recurrent headaches in children: What to know and do
Headaches are very common in children. By the time they reach 18, essentially all kids will have had at least one. Most children get them rarely, usually with an illness. But some children get recurrent headaches. About 5% of kindergartners experience this problem, and the percentage goes up as children get older. By the time they get to the end of high school, that number is up to more than 25%.
Recurrent headaches often run in families. There are two types: primary and secondary. Primary headaches come from the nervous system itself, while secondary headaches are caused by something affecting the nervous system, such as ...
