What is the best asthma prevention inhaler for runners?… by LedZeppelinRi
I'm trying to build up my endurance for running and my lungs and chest tighten up to the point that I can't complete the run. I use FlowVent and I've used Advair. Is there anything out there that actually prevents a small attack?
Best Answer:
I'm asthmatic and I've found that Advair works well. The salmeterol component is a long-lasting bronchodilator which is also available separately as Serevent if you don't want the corticosteroid effect. I've been on Advair for years and I rarely need my regular inhaler anymore even when exercising (jogging and rowing).
I also tried Singulair for a while, but went back to Advair. Others have used Singulair quite successfully specifically for exercise-induced attacks. It is available as a pill which may appeal to some.

What's the difference between taxol and taxotere?… by tmlf
These are two chemotherapy drugs. Are they related at all? I have a friend who has ovarian cancer and she had an allergic reaction to taxol. Can she have the taxotere?
Best Answer:
Taxotere is an alternative to Taxol. It was developed because so many women were having reactions to Taxol. Taxotere has the same active agent, but it is suspended in a synthetic base.
People can still have reactions to Taxotere, but they are generally less severe. There is another form called Abraxane, same basic active agent, different formulation for the base.

Anyone out there ever had the YAG laser used on their eyes after a crystalens implant surgery?… by lhill5
Just wondering because I will be getting it done soon, and I just would like to know what to expect.
Best Answer:
I perform Yag laser surgeries on pretty much a daily basis. First, understand that Yag laser surgery to clear opacification of the posterior capsule following cataract surgery is totally painless.
Here is how we do it in my office. The patient comes in for a diagnostic exam to be sure that they do indeed need Yag laser surgery. The patient is then scheduled to return for the actual surgery. Upon the surgery visit the patient is given an informed consent explanation of the benefits and risks of the procedure and after any questions are answered the patient begins the pre operative preparation.
This involves dilation of the operative eye and instillation of a drop called iopidine that minimizes the risk of post operative spikes in the pressure of the eye. Once the eye has had time to absorb the dilating drops and the iopidine, the patient is escorted to the laser room. The laser looks very much like the microscope the doctor uses to inspect the eye under magnification but there is an additional laser head attached to the instrument.
Just before performing the laser I instill a drop of topical anesthetic to numb the surface of the eye so that there is no sensation when I place the capsulotomy lens on the front of the eye. Some doctors don't use a capsulotomy lens but I do. It gives me a much better view of what I am doing and allows me to be much more precise in applying the laser pulses exactly where I need them.
When the laser is fired you may see some flashes of light and you may hear some popping type sounds inside your head. If you do hear or see these things that is very normal. Don't let that worry you.
Average operative time, depending upon the density of the cloudiness, is usually only 5 to 10 minutes. After I have completely cleared the cloudiness I remove the capsulotomy lens from the front of the eye. If the doctor uses a capsulotomy lens you will notice your vision will be quite blurry due to the thick fluid that is placed in the lens before it is inserted. This thick fluid (called goniosol) will disturb your tears for some time until your normal tears wash the goniosol out. Also, the dilation of the eye will cause some blurring until the dilation wears off.
After the procedure is complete, I again instill another drop of iopidine to further minimize the risk of post op pressure spikes. Five minutes after the end of the procedure I check to make sure the pressure in the eye is normal. If so, the patient is sent home with a prescription of a steroid drop called Pred Acetate 1% to be instilled four times a day for 5 days. This drop minimizes the risk of the patient developing cystoid macular edema following the surgery. Not all docs use this post op med but I have been using it now for the last several years and since using it I have had no cases of post op cystoid macular edema.
When the pupil returns to its normal shape you will see just about as clearly as you are going to see following the surgery. Of course, the length of dilation can vary greatly from patient to patient.

I am on High Blood pressuremedicine(diovan hct).is it safe for me to drink chamomile tea everyday?… by I know you have no gut
I am on high blood pressure medicine(diovan hct).is it safe for me to drink chamomile tea everyday?
Best Answer:
Chamomile is an extremely mild and gentle relaxant herb. The only negative reaction I am aware of with it is that some people who are allergic to ragweed, goldenrod (Solidago), asters, chrysanthemums are also allergic to chamomile.
This is taken from www.hbcprotocols.com/sleep/chamomile.html:
Prescription Drugs
Chamomile contains chemicals that may increase the time blood needs to clot. When it is taken with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs, the effect of the antiplatelet or anticoagulant may be increased, resulting in uncontrolled bleeding.
Antiplatelet drugs include Plavix and Ticlid
Anticoagulants include heparin and warfarin
When chamomile is used with prescription drugs that promote sleepiness, the effects of the prescription drug may be exaggerated, resulting in sedation or mental impairment. Prescription drugs that can cause sleepiness include:
Anticonvulsants such as carbamazepine (Tegretol), phenytoin (Dilantin), and valproic acid (Depakote)
Barbiturates such as phenobarbital
Benzodiazepines such as alprazolam (Xanax) and diazepam (Valium)
Drugs for insomnia such as zaleplon (Sonata) and zolpidem (Ambien)
Tricyclic antidepressants such as amitriptyline (Elavil), amoxapine, doxepin and nortriptyline
Chamomile is broken down by certain enzymes in the liver, therefore it may interfere with the use of prescription drugs that are processed by the same enzymes. These drugs may include:
Allergy drugs such as fexofenadine (Seldane)
Antifungal drugs such as itraconazole (Sporanox) and ketoconazole (Nizoral)
Cancer drugs such as etoposide (VePesid), paclitaxel (Onxol, Taxol), vinblastine, or vincristine
Drugs for high cholesterol such as lovastatin (Mevacor)
Oral contraceptives
Non-prescription Drugs
Chamomile can affect the ability of blood to clot after. Aspirin can also delay clotting, so chamomile should not be taken at the same time as aspirin.
The sleep-producing effects of over-the-counter products containing diphenhydramine can be enhanced by taking chamomile concurrently. Diphenhydramine is contained in many over-the-counter sleep aids as well as in some cough and cold products, therefore caution should be used when taking these medications with chamomile because excessive drowsiness may result.

Keratosis Pilaris
Keratosis pilaris (commonly called KP) appears as “chicken skin bumps” on the skin. These bumps usually appear on the upper arms and thighs. They also can appear on the cheeks, back and buttocks. Keratosis pilaris, while unattractive, is harmless.
What Are the Symptoms of Keratosis Pilaris?
This disorder appears as small, rough bumps. The bumps are usually white or red, but do not itch or hurt. Keratosis pilaris is usually worse during the winter months or other times of low humidity when skin becomes dry. It also may worsen during pregnancy or after childbirth.
How Is Keratosis Pilaris Treated?
Although the condition may remain for years, it gradually disappears before age 30 in most cases. Treatment of keratosis pilaris is not medically necessary; but, individuals with this condition may want to seek treatment for cosmetic reasons.
The initial treatment of keratosis pilaris should be intensive moisturizing. A cream such as Acid Mantle, Vaseline or Complex 15 can be applied after bathing, and then re-applied several times a day. Other treatments may include:
Medicated creams containing urea (Carmol-20) or alpha-hydroxy acids (Aqua Glycolic, Lacticare) applied twice daily
Efforts to unplug pores by taking long, hot soaking tub baths and then rubbing the areas with a coarse washcloth or stiff brush.

How do I determine oxygen requirements for a bacteria?… by Nicholas
Doing an unknown identification, and a couple questions give me trouble. The other is motility, cause I know the semi-solid doesn't always show it right. I only get one chance on this.
Best Answer:
You can use a motility stab to determine both oxygen requirements and motility at the same time, but this gets uncertain at times, as a motile aerobe can appear similar to an anaerobe in the medium.
For oxygen requirements, go with phenol red sugar tubes if available. Innoculate three different tubes (mannitol, glucose, lactose). If even one of these are positive, you know that your bacteria is Facultatively Anaerobic, as it shows that it is fermenting, rather than respirating.
For motility, I always go with the hanging drop slide of live bacteria, and simply watch for movement. Just don't confuse real movement with Brownian movement, which is a vibratory motion caused by other factors, or movement of the liquid. True motility will be directed movement, or squirms, tumbling, etc.
There are always various choices you can make when doing tests, these are the ones I prefer for these.
