The United States Food and Drug Administration has as corrupt a reputation as any agency in the federal government. While corruption in government is nothing new, the problems it causes become exacerbated when the decisions being made have a real impact on people's health and people's lives.

There is a debate raging over the introduction of what are being termed "biosimilar drugs". Some are calling for extra scrutiny given the complex nature of the drugs.

Some others are wondering if said opposition to the introduction of these new and potentially revolutionary drugs is rooted in a genuine desire to protect the consumer or a more sinister desire to protect competing interests with a powerful lobbying presence in Washington...
      


WristBraces.net was founded in late 2011 with a single goal in mind: to become one of the web's leading authorities on topics related to wrist injuries and the braces, supports, splints and wraps used to treat them and help them heal.

While the site is indeed very new and has quite an uphill climb ahead of it, the website's founders have one thing going for them that may just lead to the success they aspire to. That one thing is more than a decade's worth of experience working with patients' wrist injuries and conditions, including everything from arthritis to carpal tunnel syndrome to various sprains, strains and fractures.

The site's goal is to provide adequate information so that those who have suffered a wrist injury can learn about the nature of the injury, and find out exactly which wrist brace, splint or support is ideal for treating their specific injury or condition.

Granted, the site is targeting a micro-niche if there ever was one, but with more and more people g... read full post

It’s not uncommon for keyboards to become the breeding grounds for bacteria and germs. And in a hospital, where doctors and nurses alternate between tending to patients and typing up medical records, the germy computer can be particularly troublesome.

Now, however, health care professionals won’t need to worry about going home sick. In a recent press release, medical technology company Vioguard announced that it has received FDA approval for its first product—a self-sanitizing keyboard.

The keyboard, which is to be used in hospitals, automatically cleans itself by employing the germ-killing properties of ultraviolet light (UV-C). It is able to target microbes (a.k.a. germs) due to their ability to be broken down with just the right amount of ultraviolet light.

Taking on the appearance of any other keyboard, the self-sanitizing version works by automatically retracting into its own light-tight enclosure after use. Then the UV-C light gets to work—flooding the case and killi

Here is a detail they fail to mention. Twenty years ago THEY didn't include conditions that "looked" like cancer, but were almost 100% curable. One of them is Ductal Cell Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS). Until the 90s it was just a condition that appeared to act like REAL cancer. The good news has always been that "everyone" with DCIS could be CURED. So, by including the DCIS patients into the total mix, the percentage survivors increased. It's a manipulation of data with an outcome in mind ahead of time.

Thee is also the case where more and more people are diagnosed with cancer - "way too early". Large numbers of those "pre-cancers" and "cancr- lite" never get the real thing and are often consider to have survived - even though their risk of dying was all but zero. Statistics don't lie. People who lie use statistics to make their points, however.

A new website has gone live and is taking the concept of "niche" to a whole new level. VitaminD3.org, as the name might suggest, was founded with a mission to cover all things related to vitamin D and D3 in particular. This includes a blog where the latest news, research and developments related to vitamin D3 and its effects on the human body will be covered in-depth.

Additionally, the site will link out to news stories from around the web relating to vitamin D and in particular research about the nutrient and its effects relative to the prevention and potential curing of various diseases and illnesses.

Finally, the site will feature a minor online store component in which the only product that will be offered for sale is --- you guessed it --- vitamin D3 supplements. At present, the company only offers shipping to destinations within the United States of America, however the site's owner has gone on record stating an intention to expand into Canada and eventually even parts o... read full post
