GLOBAL 3000 | Brazil's AIDS Program: Battling the virus - against the pharma industry
|
The fight against AIDS remains a major global challenge. But new medications are always too expensive for patients in the developing world. The firm takes out a patent on the medication to cover research and development costs. This raises ethical questions.
The World Trade Organization (WTO) has introduced a new regulation for AIDS medications. If a state's ability to treat its population is endangered by a patent, the governmnet may suspend it. Brazil is the first country to make use of the clause. The Latin American country's AIDS program is considered exemplary, but increasing numbers of patients still makes the struggle costly. |

'GENERATION RX' Documentary Trailer
|
www.GenerationRXFilm.com DVD FOR SALE NOW AT WEBSITE - GENERATION RX examines a culture of medicine and corruption, documenting how more and more children have been drugged with psychiatric medications earlier, and more often, than ever before.
The film uncovers a pattern of collusion between drug manufacturers and their regulatory watchdogs at the FDA - of evidence hidden from the general public, despite the risks being well-known long before antidepressant drugs were approved for the marketplace.
Ultimately, Generation RX may help parents decide whether the perceived benefits of these medications outweigh the serious risks to children. |

GreenLight HPS PVP: Comprehensive Review of Laser Technology for BPH
|
As men age, the transitional zone of the prostate increases in size due to hormonal changes within the prostate. More specifically, local testosterone is more readily converted to a by-product (DHT) which has been shown to increase benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and cause male pattern baldness.
Most men with BPH will complain of increase in urinary frequency, night time voiding (nocturia), decreased urinary stream and hesitancy. If left untreated for a prolonged period, the obstruction of urine can worsen to complete urinary retention.
Medical therapy with the use of alpha-blockers (Flomax, Uroxatral) and/or 5-alpha reductase medications (Proscar, Avodard) are usually a urologists first line treatment option. Each of these medications take 5-7 days and 3-6 months to start improving urinary symptoms and will need to be taken daily forever.
In men who are unable to tolerate medical therapy (due to side effects of the medications), or who are not content with the results of medical therapy, as well as men who present in urinary retention, surgical management for BPH is required. The former gold standard, TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate) is an endourological procedure performed under either a spinal or general anasthesia. The cystoscope is placed through the natural urethral passage and an electrocautery loop is used to cut chips of overgrowth BPH tissue for removal. Unfortunately, even in the best of hands, there is always bleeding related to the procedure and most men require at least an overnight hospitalization or 2.
Over the past 2 decades, urologists have began to apply laser technology in BPH management. The following video highlights the latest of laser treatment for men with BPH- the GreenLight HPS PVP procedure.
There will be 2 videos:
1) a comprehensive overview of laser technology and the PVP procedure
2) a case video presentation demonstrating the procedure and results |

Pregnancy Journey-Part 2 (Weeks 28-30)
|
Pregnancy Journey from weeks 28 through 30. Due June 10th, 2008. After dealing with infertility due to PCOS(Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), many tests and 3 rounds of Clomid(medication used to induce ovulation) We are overjoyed to say that We are FINALLY pregnant!!!
What is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)?
Polycystic (pah-lee-SIS-tik) ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a health problem that can affect a woman's menstrual cycle, ability to have children, hormones, heart, blood vessels, and appearance. With PCOS, women typically have:
high levels of androgens (AN-druh-junz). These are sometimes called male hormones, although females also make them.
missed or irregular periods
many small cysts (sists) in their ovaries. Cysts are fluid-filled sacs.
Lack of ovulation is usually the reason for fertility problems in women with PCOS. Several medications that stimulate ovulation can help women with PCOS become pregnant. Even so, other reasons for infertility in both the woman and man should be ruled out before fertility medications are used. Also, there is an increased risk for multiple births (twins, triplets) with fertility medications. For most patients, clomiphene citrate (Clomid®, Serophene®) is the first choice therapy to stimulate ovulation.
What tests are used to diagnose polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)?
There is no single test to diagnose PCOS. Your doctor will take a medical history, perform a physical exam, and possibly take some tests to rule out other causes of your symptoms. During the physical exam the doctor will want to measure your blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), and waist size. He or she also will check out the areas of increased hair growth, so try to allow the natural hair growth for a few days before the visit. Your doctor might want to do a pelvic exam to see if your ovaries are enlarged or swollen by the increased number of small cysts. A vaginal ultrasound also might be used to examine the ovaries for cysts and check out the endometrium, the lining of the uterus. The uterine lining may become thicker if your periods are not regular. You also might have blood taken to check your hormone levels and to measure glucose (sugar) levels

FACES documentary short
|
FACEing the Global Health Challenge: How FACES is ramping up HIV services in the highest prevalence region in Kenya.
HIV/AIDS has dropped the life expectancy in Kenya from 64 to 48 years. In parts of western Kenya, 40% of the adults are infected with HIV, and most of them are young working adults with children and families. When they die, their children will become one of the 15 million AIDS orphans in Sub-Saharan Africa, with the added risk of becoming child prostitutes and child soldiers. HIV/AIDS is devastating Kenya and Sub-Saharan Africa.
We now have life-saving, relatively affordable HIV medications in Kenya. But now the challenge to how to get the medications to the people. Only 20% of the Kenyans who really need HIV medications (based on their health status) are getting these medications. There are only 14 doctors per 100,000 people in Kenya- compare this to having 356 doctors per 100,000 people in the US; that's almost 20 times fewer doctors for 20 times more HIV cases.
What do we do about this pandemic? The UN wants us to provide HIV care to all people living with HIV/AIDS by 2010. Can we do this? FACES, the clinical program featured in this documentary is trying to do exactly that. They are a vibrant, dedicated group of Kenyans working hard to provide HIV care to people in even the most remote island communities of Kenya. And they are doing it with compassion and with the best possible treatments we can make available to places without electricity or running water. They are going to places where there are no doctors. |

Can Antidepressants Cause Violence?
|
What your Doctor isn't Telling You.
Psychiatry vs. Physical Medicine
Dr. Moria Dolan, Executive Director for the Medical Accountability Network discusses the link between antidepressants medications and suicide, violence and school shootings.
Seung-hui Cho w/ the Virginia Tech massacre adds to a long list of incidents over the last 15 to 20 years including Columbine and Red Lake High,
She also discusses antidepressant drugs like like Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Luvox, Celexa, Lexapro, Effexor or Wellbutrin.
These medications are known to cause adverse events which can contribute to violence such as hallucinations, agitation, emotional instability, violence, paranoia, etc.
These adverse events are clearly labeled on the FDA approved prescribing information leaflet for the medication. These labels often contain confusing medical terms and Dr. Dolan explains in plain English what these adverse events means.
Although the psychiatric advertising jargon of the chemical imbalance in the brain theory is widely promoted, Dr. Dolan points out that there are no biological markers for mental disorders. There are no physical tests done to measure someone's brain chemistry.
Depression is widely associated with the neurotransmitter serotonin however, there is no standard by which one can measure an abnormal serotonin level.
Additionally, SSRI (Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) as well as other psychiatric drugs show an affect in the brain during brain scans whereas psychiatric diagnosis don't.
