How To Avoid China ’ s Medicine Monopoly
I want to share a shocking statistic with you…
Around 80% of all the pharmaceuticals sold in America — both prescription and over-the-counter — are manufactured in China.
I’m talking about drugs for Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, blood pressure and blood thinners, diuretics, aspirin, antibiotics, and a big chunk of the world’s insulin and diabetes drugs — just to name a few.1
We don’t even make penicillin anymore. The last penicillin plant in the U.S. closed its doors in 2004.
Americans who rely on medicine are now almost entirely at the mercy of a country whose relations with the U.S. have become more ...

Infraclavicular Catheter in MELAS Syndrome for Analgesic Purposes
M Onay, T Tanyel Kiremitçi, G Erdoğan Kayhan, D İlhan Algın, MS GüleçNeurology India 2023 71(4):764-766
MELAS syndrome is defined as mitochondrial myopathy accompanied by encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, myoclonus, stroke-like episodes. It has a progressive course, multi-systemic effects and severe complications. Myoclonic contractions are unresponsive to many anti-epileptic drugs; these contractions and spasms may lead to severe pain. Systemic analgesic drugs are not sufficient to control pain. Therefore, continuous brachial plexus blockage may be pr...

Health ministry's fight against sickle cell anaemia to follow Gujarat playbook
Prevalent among the tribal population in India, sickle cell disease is a genetic condition that affects haemoglobin -- responsible for carrying oxygen in the body-- in red blood cells. Anaemia, debilitating acute and chronic pain, infection, acute chest syndrome, stroke, and renal failure are among the problems it can lead to.

Patterns and predictors of emergency medical services utilisation by patients attending the emergency medicine department of a tertiary care hospital in India

Clinical Characteristics of Pediatric Patients with Congenital Erythrocytosis: A Single-Center Study
AbstractAlthough congenital erythrocytosis (CE), an inherited disorder, impairs pediatric quality of life, physicians often overlook high hemoglobin (Hgb) levels and its symptoms due to lack of knowledge of age-adjusted pediatric Hgb levels and CE ’s rarity. In a retrospective, single-center study, data from hospital records of pediatric patients diagnosed with CE were evaluated. Twenty-six patients from 25 families (80.8% male) had been diagnosed with CE in 20 years, at a mean age of 14.9 ± 2.8 years (8.3–17.8) and with a mean Hgb level of 17.36 ± 1.44 g/dL (14.63–22.1). No serum erythropoietin levels e...

The Genetic and Clinical Significance of Fetal Hemoglobin Expression in Sickle Cell Disease
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is phenotypically heterogenic. One major genetic modifying factor is the patient ’s level of fetal hemoglobin (HbF). The latter is determined by the patient’s β-globin gene cluster haplotype and cis-acting and trans-acting single gene polymorphisms (SNP) at other distant quantitative trait loci (QTL). The Arab/India haplotype is associated with persistently high HbF levels and also a relatively mild phenotype. This haplotype carries the Xmn1 (C/T) SNP, rs 7482144 in the HBG2 locus. The major identified trans-acting QTL contain SNPs residing in the BCL11A in chromosome 2 and the HMIP locus on ...

What Are the Main Acyanotic Congenital Heart Diseases?
Discussion
Congenital heart diseases (CHD) are malformations of the heart and great vessels. It occurs in about 5-8/1000 live births. Cyanotic congenital heart disease is often noted perinatally because of cyanosis, respiratory distress and/or poor feeding or other distress type problems. A review can be found here.
Acyanotic congenital heart disease (ACHD) can present at birth but often is seen in older children or adults unless the lesions are severe, especially obstructive lesions. Severe lesions may also cause cyanosis and distress type problems in patients also.
Shunting lesions cause problems by diverting blood flo...

COVID 19 – Conspiracy or Apocalypse? – Part II
By Daud Khan and Leila Yasmine KhanAMSTERDAM/ROME, Jun 8 2020 (IPS) As the COVID-19 virus spread rapidly around the globe, so did various theories about what caused the pandemic. According to the standard scientific theory, the virus originated in bats; crossed over to humans, probably via another intermediate host; and then spread rapidly across the globe.
While the mainstream scientific theory sufficed for some, a large number of people saw the pandemic as the work of cold-hearted military or industrial strategists. An equally large number of people saw it as some kind of divine or natural retribution for an increasingly...

Acute cholecystitis in patients with stroke
Conclusions: Acute cholecystitis and stroke are closely associated, and anti-thromboembolic drugs may cause hemorrhagic cholecystitis. Stroke patients tend to have atherosclerotic risk factors resulting in ischemic injury of the gallbladder. Furthermore, severe hemiparesis, a fasting state, dehydration, or bacteremia, which are occasionally exhibited by stroke patients, are known risk factors for acalculous cholecystitis. Stroke patients, especially patients with aphasia and consciousness disturbance, require immediate abdominal examination, if acute cholecystitis is suspected.

Harnessing the Four Elements for Mental Health
DiscussionAs detailed above, the “elements” in both a classical and a contemporary sense have effects on our mental health and are potentially modifiable aspects that can be harnessed as therapeutic interventions. The most robust interventional evidence currently available shows tentative support for several use of the elements via horticultural and nature-exposure therapy, green exercise/physical activity, sauna and heat therapy, balneotherapy, and breathing exercises. It should be noted that, in many cases, these interventions were not studied in definitive diagnosed psychiatric disorders and thus it is pre...
