Fookes, BPharm on June 21, 2018. Other names: sulfa drugs, sulphonamides What are Sulfonamides? Sulfonamides (sulphonamides) are a group of man-made (synthetic) medicines that contain the sulfonamide chemical group. They may also be called sulfa drugs. Many people use the term sulfonamide imprecisely to refer only to antibiotics that have a sulfonamide functional group in their chemical structure. However, there are several non-antibiotic sulfonamides that have been developed by exploiting observations made during the clinical evaluation of the antibiotic sulfonamides. These are used for a range of conditions such as diabetes and pain relief. Sulfanilamide was the first sulfonamide developed in 1906, although it was not used as an antimicrobial agent until the late 1930s. Sulfonamide antimicrobials are bacteriostatic (stop bacteria from reproducing but don't necessarily kill them) and work by interfering with the synthesis of folic acid in bacteria, which is essential for nucleic acid formation and ultimately DNA and RNA.

Title: Blood Testing Guide | Drugs.com Headings: Blood Testing Blood Testing What is Blood Testing? What It's Used For Preparation How It's Done Follow-Up Risks When to Call a Professional Further information Content: You may experience slight pain or a pinching or stinging sensation when the needle pierces the skin and enters the vein. Some people get a throbbing in the arm caused by the tight elastic band used to engorge the veins. A little blood often seeps out of the vein where the needle was inserted, causing bruising under the skin. Bruising in the area may appear on the day following your blood test. There is no need to be concerned unless it is painful or the bruise continues to enlarge. Your body will reabsorb the blood that seeped out. As with any procedure that breaks the skin, there is an extremely low risk of infection. Tell your doctor if the area becomes red, hot to the touch, painful, or if you develop a fever with these symptoms. Some people feel faint or lightheaded, especially when a larger amount of blood is taken. When to Call a Professional Because harmful side effects are not expected, people typically need to call their doctors only to discuss laboratory results.

Title: Morton's Neuroma Guide: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment Options Headings: Morton's Neuroma Morton's Neuroma What is Morton's Neuroma? Symptoms Diagnosis Expected Duration Prevention Treatment When To Call a Professional Prognosis External resources Further information Content: Less commonly, it develops between the second and third toes. Other locations are rare. It also is rare for a Morton's neuroma to develop in both feet at the same time. The condition is much more common in women than men, probably as a result of wearing high-heeled, narrow-toed shoes. This style of shoe tends to shift the bones of the feet into an abnormal position, which increases the risk that a neuroma will form. Being overweight also increases the risk of a Morton's neuroma. Symptoms A Morton's neuroma usually causes burning pain, numbness or tingling at the base of the third, fourth or second toes. Pain also can spread from the ball of the foot out to the tips of the toes. In some cases, there also is the sensation of a lump, a fold of sock or a "hot pebble" between the toes. Typically, the pain of a Morton's neuroma is relieved temporarily by taking off your shoes, flexing your toes and rubbing your feet.

Typically, the pain of a Morton's neuroma is relieved temporarily by taking off your shoes, flexing your toes and rubbing your feet. Symptoms may be aggravated by standing for prolonged periods or by wearing high heels or shoes with a narrow toe box. Diagnosis Your doctor will suspect that you have a Morton's neuroma based on the nature and location of your foot pain. He or she may ask questions about your shoes — what type of shoes you usually wear and whether these shoes have narrow toes or high heels. To rule out other causes of foot pain, your doctor may ask questions about your medical history, especially any history of arthritis, nerve and muscle problems or previous injury to your foot or leg. To confirm the diagnosis, your doctor will examine your feet.

Treatment Nausea does not always require treatment, but sometimes treatment is helpful. There are several things you can do on your own to help, including: Drink beverages that settle the stomach, such as ginger ale or chamomile tea. Avoid caffeinated colas, coffees and teas. Drink clear liquids to avoid dehydration (if vomiting is associated with nausea). Eat small, frequent meals to allow the stomach to digest foods gradually. Eat foods that are bland and simple for your stomach to digest, such as crackers or unbuttered bread, rice, chicken soup and bananas. Avoid spicy foods and fried foods.

Title: Wrist Sprain Guide: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment Options Headings: Wrist Sprain Wrist Sprain What is a Wrist Sprain? Symptoms Diagnosis Expected Duration Prevention Treatment When To Call a Professional Prognosis External resources Further information Content: If these appear normal, but your symptoms are severe and persistent, your doctor may order additional tests such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or a computed tomography (CT) scan. In some people, especially in competitive athletes with moderate or severe wrist injuries, the doctor may do a type of minor operation called arthroscopy to inspect the wrist ligaments directly for signs of damage. Expected Duration In milder wrist sprains, symptoms usually improve within two to three days. More severe sprains can take a number of weeks or even months to heal completely. Prevention To prevent wrist sprains related to falls, you can stay indoors when it's icy or wet outside. If you must go out, wear shoes with soles that provide traction during slippery conditions and pay careful attention to the surface where you are walking. To prevent sports-related wrist sprains, wear protective equipment that supports the wrist. In particular, snowboarders and inline skaters should protect their wrists by using wrist guards or snug-fitting plastic wrist splints. Platform divers may wear protective tape, wrist splints or wraps that limit extension of the wrist. To prevent wrist sprains related to skiing, choose ski poles that have a low-profile grip with finger grooves.

Marijuana Side Effects Side effects of marijuana use will be variable from person to person, depending upon strength and amount of marijuana used and if the user is occasionally or chronically exposed to THC. Side effects can be magnified in older people. The short-term effects of marijuana or cannabinoid use include: increased heart rate low blood pressure, orthostatic hypotension muscle relaxation slowed digestion dizziness distorted perception (sights, sounds, time, touch) difficulty in thinking, memory, and problem solving loss of coordination and motor skills agitation, anxiety, confusion, panic, paranoia increased appetite dry mouth, dry eyes Reaction time may be impaired while driving. NIDA research shows that drivers have slower reaction times, impaired judgment, and problems responding to signals and sounds if driving while under the influence of THC. Panic attacks, paranoia and psychosis may occur acutely and be more common in psychiatric patients, a reported by Heller. For chronic users, the impact on memory and learning can last for days or weeks after its acute effects wear off, as noted by the NIDA. Marijuana, if purchased on the street, may be cut (or substituted) with substances that can lead to unknown, dangerous side effects. THC in marijuana is strongly absorbed by fatty tissues in various organs.

Having one type of reaction doesn't mean you'll always have the same reaction every time you're stung or that the next reaction will necessarily be more severe. Mild reaction Most of the time, bee sting symptoms are minor and include: Instant, sharp burning pain at the sting site A red welt at the sting area Slight swelling around the sting area In most people, the swelling and pain go away within a few hours. Moderate reaction Some people who get stung by a bee or other insect have a bit stronger reaction, with signs and symptoms such as: Extreme redness Swelling at the site of the sting that gradually enlarges over the next day or two Moderate reactions tend to resolve over five to 10 days. Having a moderate reaction doesn't mean you'll have a severe allergic reaction the next time you're stung. But some people develop similar moderate reactions each time they're stung. If this happens to you, talk to your doctor about treatment and prevention, especially if the reaction becomes more severe each time. Severe allergic reaction A severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) to bee stings is potentially life-threatening and requires emergency treatment.

Severe allergic reaction A severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) to bee stings is potentially life-threatening and requires emergency treatment. A small percentage of people who are stung by a bee or other insect quickly develop anaphylaxis. Signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis include: Skin reactions, including hives and itching and flushed or pale skin Difficulty breathing Swelling of the throat and tongue A weak, rapid pulse Nausea, vomiting or diarrhea Dizziness or fainting Loss of consciousness People who have a severe allergic reaction to a bee sting have a 25% to 65% chance of anaphylaxis the next time they're stung. Talk to your doctor or an allergy specialist about prevention measures such as immunotherapy ("allergy shots") to avoid a similar reaction in case you get stung again. Multiple bee stings Generally, insects such as bees and wasps aren't aggressive and only sting in self-defense.

Contraindications Pregnancy/Lactation Interactions Side Effects Toxicology References Further information Content: Yogurt Uses, Benefits & Side Effects - Drugs.com Herbal Database Natural Products (Consumer) Yogurt Print Save Yogurt Professional Q & A More Common Name (s) Yogurt What is Yogurt? Yogurt is the general term for a fermented, slightly acidic milk product that contains essentially no alcohol. Most commonly, it is prepared by the addition of live cultures of Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus to heated whole or skim cow's milk. The mixture is incubated and homogenized to a semisolid. Condensed skim milk or dry milk solids sometimes are added to produce a custard-like texture. If cultures of Lactobacillus acidophilus are added, the product is called acidophilus milk. Yogurt provides a dietary source of calcium and protein, as well as folic acid, magnesium, and zinc. What is it used for? Probiotic Yogurt has been promoted to restore the GI flora after systemic antibiotic therapy and to alleviate anal pruritus, aphthous ulcers, and canker sores. The large number of bacteria in active yogurt (each milliliter of commercial brands contains about 125 million L. bulgaricus and 125 million S. thermophilus) may hasten colonization in the colon, thereby removing the reservoir of yeast infection.

More than 3 decades ago, bacterial replacement therapy with live cultures was found to have no established value in the prevention or treatment of such disorders. Yogurt possesses intrinsic antibacterial activity, probably largely because of its lactic acid content. Lactic acid has demonstrated bactericidal activity against some organisms, but this is probably not the only factor in eliminating the bacteria. Cardiovascular and cholesterol reduction effects Fat loss and weight loss have been demonstrated with the use of yogurt. Enhanced calcium intake was proposed as the mechanism for this effect.

In vitro studies have shown that bacterial resistance develops more slowly with Septra than with either trimethoprim or sulfamethoxazole alone. In vitro serial dilution tests have shown that the spectrum of antibacterial activity of Septra includes the common urinary tract pathogens with the exception of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The following organisms are usually susceptible: Escherichia coli, Klebsiella species, Enterobacter species, Morganella morganii, Proteus mirabilis, and indole-positive Proteus species including Proteus vulgaris. The usual spectrum of antimicrobial activity of Septra includes bacterial pathogens isolated from middle ear exudate and from bronchial secretions ( Haemophilus influenzae, including ampicillin-resistant strains, and Streptococcus pneumoniae ), and enterotoxigenic strains of Escherichia coli (ETEC) causing bacterial gastroenteritis.

Susceptibility Testing: The recommended quantitative disc susceptibility method may be used for estimating the susceptibility of bacteria to Septra. 4,5 With this procedure, a report from the laboratory of "Susceptible to trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole" indicates that the infection is likely to respond to therapy with Septra. If the infection is confined to the urine, a report of "Intermediate susceptibility to trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole" also indicates that the infection is likely to respond. A report of "Resistant to trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole" indicates that the infection is unlikely to respond to therapy with Septra.

Not a drug of first choice; considered an alternative for treatment of AOM, especially for those with type I penicillin hypersensitivity. Because amoxicillin-resistant S. pneumoniae frequently are resistant to co-trimoxazole, the drug may not be effective in patients with AOM who fail to respond to amoxicillin. Data are limited regarding safety of repeated use of co-trimoxazole in pediatric patients <2 years of age; the drug should not be administered prophylactically or for prolonged periods for treatment of AOM in any age group.

Start Your 14-Day Free Trial Stay Connected With Dr. Weil Follow Dr. Weil’s Food Pyramid Content: Magnolia Bark for Anxiety, Depression? - Ask Dr. Weil Home Health & Wellness Body, Mind & Spirit Stress & Anxiety print Magnolia Bark for Anxiety, Depression? Can you tell me if magnolia bark is safe and effective for relief of anxiety and depression? Andrew Weil, M.D. | August 1, 2011 clock 1 min The bark of Magnolia oficinalis has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries to address anxiety and nervous tension and to promote sleep. Some researchers believe that these effects are due to honokiol, a natural compound in the bark. I discussed your question with Tieraona Low Dog M.D., an internationally recognized expert in the fields of integrative medicine, dietary supplements and women’s health, and an expert on botanical medicine. She told me that evidence is growing to support the traditional use of magnolia bark for improving sleep, lifting depression, and easing anxiety. Most of this research is still in the basic science stage, but an Italian study published in February, 2011, compared a magnolia bark extract to soy isoflavones for treatment of anxiety, irritability and insomnia in menopausal women. The researchers found that the isoflavones effectively lessened the severity of classic menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes, while magnolia bark eased the participants’ anxiety. Dr. Low Dog noted that an earlier study from Italy found that magnolia bark extract combined with magnesium improved sleep, mood, depression and anxiety in menopausal women.

If you’re dealing with anxiety, I recommend a number of lifestyle changes that may help. Chief among them are practicing breathing exercises, particularly the relaxing breath, which I find to be reliable and effective. Other worthwhile measures include exercise, meditation, eliminating caffeine (from all sources), cognitive behavioral therapy, journaling and taking a “ news fast ” by avoiding the daily onslaught of (mostly bad) news online, on television and in newspapers and magazines. For mild to moderate depression, I recommend exercise – 30 minutes a day. It is the most effective treatment I know.

Title: Energy Boost For The Elderly? - Ask Dr. Weil Headings: Energy Boost For The Elderly? Energy Boost For The Elderly? Content: In addition, strength training can help combat age-related weakness. After age 40, we lose one quarter to one-third of a pound of muscle annually (it is replaced by fat) leading to a loss of strength of one to two percent per year. Strength training can slow and even reverse these changes resulting in stronger muscles, improved walking speed and an increase in overall strength. A 2011 German review of the scientific literature on strength training for seniors concluded that healthy men and women, age 60 and older, should train three or four times a week for best results and that those with poor performance at the outset can improve with even less frequent training. Beyond that, a study published in 2015 found that women between the ages of 65 and 75 who lifted weights twice a week had less shrinkage of the brain’s white matter than did other participants in the study who didn’t work out as much.

Title: Yeast Infections - Dr. Weil's Condition Care Guide Headings: Treating Yeast Infections Treating Yeast Infections What therapies does Dr. Weil recommend for yeast infections? Content: Yeast Infections - Dr. Weil's Condition Care Guide Home Health & Wellness Health Centers Women print Treating Yeast Infections clock 5 min What are yeast infections? Yeast infections occur when the fungus Candida albicans grows rapidly anywhere on the body from the mucus membranes of the oral cavity, under the nails, on the scalp, in the pelvic area or any other areas of the skin, especially where it can be moist. Candida is found normally on the body, but bacteria and other normal inhabitants usually keep fungal growth in check. However, if the balance of these organisms is altered, Candida can multiply, resulting in overgrowth and potentially severe medical concerns, especially when yeast gets into the blood or lungs. What are the symptoms of yeast infections? The first sign of yeast overgrowth is typically an itchy rash. In the case of thrush, white lesions on a red base are seen on the tongue, inner cheeks and occasionally, the roof of the mouth, gums and tonsils. This can cause pain when swallowing as well as a feeling of tightness in the throat, as if food were “sticking” there. Fever can occur if the infection spreads past the esophagus. Nail fungus typically begins with a white or yellow spot appearing underneath the tip of the nail, which then thickens and distorts as the infection progresses.

Title: Yeast Infections - Dr. Weil's Condition Care Guide Headings: Treating Yeast Infections Treating Yeast Infections What therapies does Dr. Weil recommend for yeast infections? Content: This rash can cause itching, burning, small blisters, inflammation and cracked, scaly skin especially between fingers and toes and within skin folds. Itching and burning may worsen as the infection spreads. Yeast can also spread if you scratch the infection and then touch yourself elsewhere, especially moist areas like the feet, groin and underarms. The fungus can also be transmitted to other parts of the body from contaminated bedding, towels or clothing. Yeast infections can become life-threatening when they invade the circulatory system and lungs. This is most often seen in people with compromised immune systems. There is also some question whether yeast overgrowth within the digestive tract contributes to chronic gastrointestinal symptoms like gas, bloating, and either diarrhea or constipation. What are the causes of yeast infections? Candida infections can occur when the immune system is compromised by disease or suppressed by medications, like antibiotics, which change the normal balance of microorganisms in the body. Prolonged or frequent use of antibiotics can wipe out the “friendly” bacteria that normally keep yeast in check, resulting in overgrowth.

Medical conditions related to the incidence of recurrent yeast infections include diabetes, HIV/AIDS, immune suppression in bone marrow transplant patients and those with cancer taking chemotherapy, as well as those who take immunosuppressive drugs. Other medicines besides antibiotics that can wipe out intestinal flora or encourage overgrowth of yeast are steroids and estrogen, either in the form of birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy. Moreover, yeast skin infections can be picked up by touching a person who already is infected or from walking on damp floors in public showers or locker rooms. It’s also possible to catch a fungal infection from dogs and cats, or from farm animals. A sign that animals are infected is a patch of skin with missing fur.

What is the conventional treatment of yeast infections? Over-the-counter antifungal medications are often recommended for skin infections. Patients are advised to use drying powders, creams or lotions containing miconazole or clotrimazole, and there are also liquid drops of nystatin available for thrush. Oral antifungal drugs such as itraconazole (Sporanox) or griseofulvin (Grisactin) are most often prescribed for stubborn infections, although these drugs are not without side effects and need monitoring by a physician if prolonged therapy is required. For those with HIV/AIDS, prescription antifungal medications such as amphotericin B may be used when other medications do not prove helpful.

Best Vegetarian B Vitamin Foods Best Foods With Vitamin B12 Content: Vitamin B1 – Thiamin Vitamin B2 – Riboflavin Vitamin B3 – Niacin Vitamin B5 – Pantothenic Acid Vitamin B6 – Pyridoxine Vitamin B7 – Biotin Vitamin B9 – Folic Acid Or Folate Vitamin B12 – Cobalamin Too Much Vitamin B Although most B vitamins are eliminated in the urine, if taken in excess some can present problems. For example, high doses of niacin (vitamin B3) – more than 2-3 grams per day – is sometimes used to help lower cholesterol, yet can cause nausea, jaundice, and elevated liver enzymes. These typically disappear once niacin is discontinued. Too much pyridoxine (vitamin B6) can be toxic, resulting in numbness, tingling, and even nerve damage. The current recommended maximum daily intake for B6 is 100 mg. Findings from a recent study suggest that men who take high does of vitamin B6 or vitamin B12 may be at increased risk of lung cancer, especially those who smoke. Is it possible to take too much vitamin B12? B Vitamins In Supplements If you choose to supplement, there is no reason not to take the whole complex of eight B vitamins in supplement form, but also no reason to take them apart from a daily multivitamin / multimineral supplement. Multivitamins commonly contain the full spectrum of B vitamins. There are also instances where taking additional individual B vitamin may be appropriate.

Step: It’s getting hot To emphasize the unmistakable roast tint of a good dry-aged steak, it should be strictly fried. This creates the crispy brown outer skin, which not least from the sugar in the meat receives a fine caramel-like note. The pan is first heated, then the fat follows. If it has reached the right heat, the dry-aged steak may be added. 60-90 seconds per side are sufficient to produce the said flavor components. The pan is particularly important here, which is why DRY AGER has developed a pan especially for steaks: The Steak Pan. 5.

About Us About DryAgePro Latest News & Blog Browse & Learn Content: It is the most expensive to raise and yields an uncomparable taste and sensory experience when prepared correctly. In order for beef to yield this superior eating experience it has to be aged. There are essentially two common methods of aging, namely dry aging and wet aging, or the traditional and the modern. Wet aging is very simple: beef cuts are packed into plastic vacuum bags and held for two to six weeks. As time passes, the meat becomes tender as enzymes naturally present in the muscle break down connective tissue. The practice of wet aging is very convenient for beef packers because this process takes place during transportation to market and storage of product prior to consumption. However, the flavors and textures achieved with this method can be metallic and bloody, not remotely comparable to the texture and flavour one may achieve with dry aging of beef. Wet aging beef is akin to aging wine in a sealed bottle rather than in an oak barrel. Dry aging is the time-tested process of maturing beef in an oxygen rich environment, allowing the meat to lose moisture in the process.

This group pretty much ran the government of France. Robespierre became the leader of the Committee and, therefore, the most powerful man in France. Reign of Terror Robespierre was determined to see that the French Revolution did not fail. He feared that neighboring countries, such as Austria and Great Britain, would send soldiers to put down the revolution and re-establish the French monarchy. In order to stamp out any opposition, Robespierre announced a "rule of Terror." During this time, anyone who opposed the revolutionary government was arrested or executed. The guillotine was used to chop the heads off of suspected traitors. Over 16,000 "enemies" of the state were officially executed over the next year. Thousands more were beaten to death or died in prison.
