Oral oxycodone: new preparation. No better than oral morphine.
[No authors listed]
(1) For the treatment of cancer pain resistant to WHO step I and II analgesics, several oral morphine preparations are available, in immediate-release and sustained-release formulations. (2) A sustained-release form of oxycodone, an old opiate, was marketed in France in 2002 for oral treatment of cancer pain, in two daily doses. (3) The results of three comparative double-blind trials suggest that 1 mg oxycodone is similarly effective to 1.5 mg of morphine. According to another comparative double-blind trial, 1 mg oxycodone has about the same analgesic efficacy as 0.25 mg of hydromorphone. (4) Oxycodone has the usual opiate side effects including constipation, sedation, nausea and vomiting, and pruritus. (5) Oxycodone has not been tested in comparative trials in patients in whom morphine is ineffective or poorly tolerated. (6) The available product range of sustained-release oxycodone does not allow the dose to be adjusted rapidly at the outset of treatment, and is poorly suited to patients who have difficulty swallowing. (7) In practice, oral morphine remains the reference treatment for cancer pain resistant to WHO step I and II analgesics.

BACKGROUND: Data on anorectal physiology in patients with disordered thyroid metabolism are lacking. This prospective study was performed to evaluate anorectal physiology in patients with either hyperthyroidism and diarrhoea, or hypothyroidism and constipation in order to assess slow transit in hypothyroid patients. METHODS: Thirty patients with hypothyroidism and constipation (24 females, median age 59 years, range 23-80) and 20 patients with hyperthyroidism and diarrhoea (12 females, median age 46 years, range 36-62) were evaluated by anal manometry, rectal balloon sensation and whole-gut transit markers. Data were compared with anorectal physiology and whole-gut transit in 22 healthy controls (13 females, median age 51 years, range 24-65). RESULTS: In the hypothyroid patients, maximum resting pressure (MRP) and maximum squeeze pressure (MSP) were similar to controls (patients, median MRP 55 mmHg (18-98); controls, median MRP 41 mmHg (20-105) and patients, median MSP 83 mmHg (39-400); controls, median MSP 88 mmHg (30-230); P > 0.05 for both resting and squeeze pressures). In hyperthyroid patients, median MRP and MSP were significantly lower than controls (patients, MRP 33 mmHg (8-69); controls MRP 41 mmHg (20-105) P = 0.04 and patients, MSP 60 mmHg (26-104); controls, MSP 88 mmHg (30-230); P = 0.03). Threshold sensation for impending evacuation in hypothyroid patients was significantly higher than controls, while in hyperthyroid patients, threshold sensation was significantly lower compared with controls. Maximum tolerable rectal volumes in hypothyroid patients was significantly lower compared with controls, while no significant difference was found between maximum tolerable rectal volumes in hyperthyroid patients and controls. Prevalence of delayed whole-gut transit in both hypothyroid and hyperthyroid patients was similar to controls. Furthermore, 33% of hypothyroid patients and 40% of hyperthyroid patients experienced symptoms of bowel dysfunction prior to the onset of their thyroid disorder. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with altered thyroid function and bowel dysfunction demonstrated abnormalities of anal manometry and rectal sensation.

[Complications arising from traumatic brain injuries in a hospital rehabilitation unit: a series of 126 cases]

INTRODUCTION. The consequences of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are devastating, whether it is in the personal, family, health care or social spheres. Sufferers will have to follow a rehabilitation programme in which we are going to be faced with a large number of medical, neurological and orthopaedic problems that will exert an influence on that programme. AIMS. The aim of this study is to determine the epidemiological data and the gravity of the cases of TBI admitted to our Rehabilitation Unit, to identify medical and orthopaedic problems that occurred during the time patients were in hospital, and also to determine factors and variables that could have an effect on the onset of such complications. PATIENTS AND METHODS. A retrospective descriptive study was conducted in which we surveyed and collected data from 126 case histories chosen at random from the 210 patients admitted to our Rehabilitation Unit between 1999 and 2001. RESULTS. Mean age, 29 years (interval 4 67), ratio of males to females, 4:1. The TBI were due to motorcycle accidents (40%), car accidents (30%) and falls (11.5%). Neurological problems appeared in 63%, the most frequent of which was psychomotor agitation. 14% displayed post traumatic hydrocephalus, and 8% presented post traumatic seizures. Gastro intestinal problems were seen in 41%, the most frequent being constipation. Respiratory problems were found in 36%, and 15.6% of the patients suffered from pneumonia. 8% displayed para articular ossifications. The number of days spent in the ICU and the days in coma were the more highly statistically significant variables associated with the onset of these complications. CONCLUSIONS. The problems presented by TBI patients during their stay in a Hospital Rehabilitation Unit are diverse and complex; the number of days spent in the ICU and the days they are in coma are the variables that can be of most use in predicting the onset of such complications.

Sudden, and premature hair loss and
baldness is a problem in many ways.
Baldness is indeed becoming an increasing concern in the current aging society.
It changes personal appearance and identity in social context.
Saw palmetto berry extract is a widely known
herbfor hair loss as well as BPH problems in Western world.
Saw palmetto berry contains phytochemicals that inhibits 5-alpha-reductase that converts
testosterone to DHT.
There are a number of traditional herbs that could stop hair loss
and promotes hair growth.
Numerous personal experiences and anecdotal cases testify that the herbal formula based on the Chinese
herbs improves the situation of the age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a large fraction of people
taking it regularly. It is unknown how Hair Million herbs stop hair loss, and promote hair growth due to
the lack of scientific research and placebo controlled clinical trials.
DHEA is a natural hormone, and it is produced in our body by the adrenal glands.
DHEA has been suggested to provide numerous potential benefits. DHEA (or dehydroepiandrosterone) is converted into androgens (male hormones)
or estrogens (female hormones) in the cells.
Our bodies produce decreasing amount of DHEA as we get older.
various health benefits: To deter aging,
improve sexual function/erectile dysfunction, treat cognitive decline, enhance athletic performance,
facilitate weight loss, improve strength, prevent osteoporosis, enhance immunomodulation for rheumatic conditions,
and treat depression.
