TV Star Susan Lucci talks about Risks from Atrial Fibrillation-Related Stroke Risk; she said “Having been happily married for more than 41 years, Helmut and I are a true team.

We play an active role in each other’s health and work together to manage his AFib and reduce his risk of stroke. We know how much a stroke can impact all aspects of our family and we’re doing everything we can to reduce his risk.

We hope the Facing AFib PSA and website will help educate others about the risk of stroke associated with AFib and will encourage them to do all that they can to manage the condition, just like us.”

Many organizations like National Stroke Association are doing their level best to create awareness among people about AFib related stroke risks. Jim Baranski of National Stroke Association said, “As we strive to reduce the incidence and impact of stroke in America, raising awareness about AFib and stroke among patients and their loved ones is key.

That’s why it’s important for those impacted by AFib to get serious about stroke and to take the pledge at FacingAFib.com. The website is a great place to find information and resources to help patients and their families discuss the condition and AFib-related stroke risk reduction with their physicians.”

Founder of StopAfib.org, Mellanie True Hills said “Many people diagnosed with AFib don’t understand that there is an increased risk of stroke associated with the condition. With National Atrial Fibrillation Awareness Month coming up in September, we encourage everyone to join the Facing AFib Pledge and commit to doing all they can to reduce AFib-related stroke.”

On Tuesday, May 31, the Dutch researchers say that the patients having Inflammatory Lung Condition are found to recover faster with the Corticosteroids in addition to their Antibiotics. The Inflammatory Lung Condition is known as the Community-Acquired Pneumonia.

The researchers found that people who are treated with the combination of Corticosteroids and Antibiotics are required to stay at the Hospital for their treatment.
These observations are taken from the largest study that focused the potential of Corticosteroid for the treatment of Community-Acquired Pneumonia.

Dr. Sabine Meijvis from the St. Antonius Hospital in Nieuwegein, the Netherlands and colleagues gave these findings on May 31, 2011.

Mejvis and his group found that Community-Acquired Pneumonia is treated with the help of Antibiotics following an early diagnosis.

The Dutch team studied the 300 Community-Acquired Pneumonia patients to find whether Corticosteroids might reduce the risk for the fatalities. Half of the patients were given the standard Antibiotic combined with the 5 Milligram everyday of the Corticosteroid Dexamethasone.

Other half were given Antibiotics with the Placebo. Placebo is an inactive treatment.

After 4 days, the research team found that patients who were given the Corticosteroid experienced the less Lung Inflammation. They recovered quickly as compared to those patients who were just given the Antibiotics.
The patients who were treated with the Corticosteroid needed 1 less day of Hospitalization than the Antibiotic Group.

The researchers found that the Corticosteroid patients had better Social Functioning relative to the Antibiotic group at the end of the month.

The team noted that the serious disorders were uncommon among the Corticosteroid group.

The people using Corticosteroids may suffer from infections and the Gastric disturbances. Infection and the Gastric disturbance are the common disadvantages of these Drugs.

This is because only a certain percentage of the global population is conscious about their oral health care and the rest of the people go with the assumption that their oral health is satisfactory since they don’t have any pain or infections.

However, that is not true because oral problems can happen without any pain or infection and they can penetrate deeper into the roots and make situations worse.

Oral-B and Crest have decided that they will try and change the way Americans think about their oral care. To make this possible they have decided to launch their new cross country crusade in the year 2011 that will go to different parts of America and educate people about how they need to take care of their teeth and gums.

The crusade will help to spread the awareness about oral care and both the companies feel that this will help people to understand why they still suffer from oral problems even when they brush regularly.

The crusade is known as 4X Cleaner Crusade and it will move from Philadelphia and St. Louis to other parts of America. Both these cities have been voted as the worst-teeth cities in the United States and therefore the crusade will go to these cities first to see why people here don’t take their oral health seriously. They will also promote the new Creast Pro-Health system that is now available in the market. Both Oral-B and Crest feel that their new products are far better compare to other products available in the market and has four times the power of any anti-cavity toothpaste that removes cavities and plaque.

People will have the opportunity to view their oral problems as the crusade will have digital plaque imaging systems that will allow people to see how much plaque they have in their mouth even though they have been taking good care of their teeth.

Hence, they are very much particular about what kind of medicines they are taking to keep themselves fit and healthy. In the age of internet communication and information is available at the speed of light and many people today are aware that medicines that we consume can have long term effects on our body and most of them are not switching to different health therapies and medicines that are naturally made and does not have side effects.

Boiron is one of the leading manufacturers of homeopathic medicines and recently they did a survey through The Hartman Group where they wanted to find out more about what people think when they buy their medicines from the stores.

In the study it was found that more than 82% of the women shopping in the United States know about the importance of going for naturally made medicines rather than going for medicines that have synthetic chemicals.

They said that they are well informed about the side effects that these medicines can have on their family and therefore they are looking for alternatives while looking for over the counter medications.

In the survey there were more than 1400 women participating who provide information about the way they think when they are purchasing medicines over the counter. Many people said that they would look at the list of ingredients when purchasing medicines from the medical store. However, not many people are aware of the homeopathic medicines available in the market. During the research the participants were educated about the benefits of homeopathic medicines and they were introduced to Oscillo homeopathic medicine that can relieve from simple day to day life health problems like flu, fever, body chill, and headache.

The medicine does not have any side effects and therefore it is good for all. Oscillo is widely available in the market and anybody can use it without any problems. During the study more than one third of the people were ready to try this new homeopathic medicine.

Hence, they need something better than medications. Although, some health experts believe that bipolar depression and major depressive disorders can be resolved through proper medication but AstraZeneca has decided to take the new initiative for these patients. AstraZeneca recently decided to go for partnership with Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA) where they will launch a new campaign that would help patients suffering from depression to overcome their depression problems. The campaign is in the second year and it is known as Speak and Be Heard Living with Depression.

The Living with Depression has already been a success in the first year as there was great participation from various bipolar depression patients. Patients who are suffering from depression problems can write and share their experiences and positive mindset through art, poetry, essay, songs and even videos. This really helps the other patients who are not good at overcoming their depression problems. Patients who are good at overcoming their depression problems soon become role models for others and they try to imitate them to overcome their depression. Each year a bench of judges selects few finalists from the lot in each category and this year the judges were Dr. Janet Taylor, Allen Doederlein, Executive Director of External Affairs, DBSA and Amanda Smith one of the finalists in the first year of the campaign.
