FDA Approves First Bionic Eye

Posted: Published on February 16th, 2013

Second Sight Medical Products / AP This undated product image provided by Second Sight Medical Products shows a new implantable device that takes the place of damaged cells inside the eye. It wont restore sight completely, but allows sight-impaired individuals to detect light and dark. On Thursday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a device created by Second Sight Medical Products that can be used to treat a rare type of blindness calledretinitis pigmentosa (RP). Retinitis pigmentosa isa genetic eye condition in which cells of the retina, which are responsible for translating light rays into images in the brain, gradually deteriorate. People with the condition start to lose peripheral vision first, then find it harder to see at night until eventually their central vision is lost as well. According to the national statistics, about one in 4000 people in the U.S. are affected by RP. (MAGAZINE: The High-Tech Future of the Human Body) The artificial retina, called the Argus II Retinal Prosthesis System, is the first implantable device to treat the condition and is approved for people over age 25 with advanced RP who can see some light. The device consists of a panel of electrodes that are … Continue reading →

Posted: Published on February 16th, 2013

(CNN) Do you know the leading indicator of heart disease in men? Its a problem at least 30 million men in the United States experience, but most dont talk about it. I would say that erectile dysfunction is the canary in the coal mine. When men begin to have Erectile Dysfunction its a sign that theres more widespread disease and not just for the heart but throughout all the blood vessels in the body, said Dr. Terry Mason, Cook County Hospitals. Doctors say Erectile Dysfunction can be an early indicator that plaque is building up, clogging the blood vessels to the heart and other parts of the body. Thats a sign you need to see your heart doctor before the problem becomes more serious. Doctors say you should also consider eating better, watching your cholesterol, stop smoking, and start exercising. Taking drugs for Erectile Dysfunction may solve the initial problem, but doctors say it wont protect you against the possible underlying issue, heart disease.

Movie Review: 'Side Effects' Oozes Classic Tension

Posted: Published on February 16th, 2013

Weve all had it. That empty, helpless feeling, where everything seems like its against you. You may need a little help. Sometimes that help comes in the form of prescription drugs. Sometimes those drugs have side effects. Headaches. Nausea. Abdominal pain. Dry mouth. Involuntary murder. Emily Taylor (Rooney Mara) has just gotten her husband, Martin (Channing Tatum), back after four years in prison for insider trading. As much as she loves him and is glad to have him back in her life, she is still unhappy. She is consistently stricken with moments of severe depression, bouts that culminate one morning when she deliberately drives her car into the wall of her apartment buildings garage. While in the emergency room, she receives a consultation from Dr. Jonathan Banks (Jude Law). Emily begins therapy sessions with Banks, but every antidepressant he prescribes makes her ill. On the advice of her previous therapist, Dr. Victoria Siebert (Catherine Zeta-Jones), he prescribes a new drug called Ablixa. The drug seems like a miracle to the Taylors, as Emily appears to have returned to her old self. The only side effect is sleepwalking, for which Banks prescribes something else. One day, when he returns home, Martin … Continue reading →

Gov. Jindal Wants to Release Non-Violent Drug Offenders

Posted: Published on February 16th, 2013

Governor Bobby Jindal unveiled several reforms he will pursue during the upcoming legislative session that will help Louisiana's at-risk youth and reduce recidivism rates for juveniles and non-violent drug offenders. The juvenile justice reforms include streamlining the system of care for youth currently in the juvenile justice system and also strengthening programs to help at-risk youth on the front-end so they do not end up in the juvenile justice system. The sentencing reform proposals include moving to more effective community-based alternatives to incarceration - under the supervision of the Department of Corrections - as a way to treat non-violent, non-sex, and non-habitual drug offenders. On juvenile justice reform, Governor Jindal said, "With these reforms, we can help at-risk youth on the front-end so that they can avoid a future of incarceration and instead become productive members of society. Providing our children with community-based support before they fall through the cracks will go a long way toward strengthening our communities and keeping our kids out of trouble." On sentencing reform, Governor Jindal said, "Studies and practices in other states have shown that substance abuse treatment instead of incarceration is a more effective treatment for non-violent, non-sex, non-habitual drug offenders. By enacting … Continue reading →

No, no one has checked my hormones to my knowledge. Just done the normal "exams" and stated that my anatomy was normal. My first OB was going to try my on some estrogen cream I think, but we moved and then my insurance didn't renew their contract with her and I couldn't see her anymore. Then I went to a crazy one who told me to use plain taper candles to just stretch it out in there. By that point, I really just felt like dying and what point would there have been. I figured I might talk to my new Armour prescribing doc when I see him on Wednesday, but wanted to be armed with a bit of info prior to going in there. Though, really, I still feel right now like I could give a whip if I ever had sex. It's not like I am missing it, since I have never really had it. Low estrogen is a very common cause of painful sex. And the … Continue reading →
