Treating Asthma With Bronchodilators , Beta 2-agonists, Cleveland Clinic Department of Patient Education and Health Information:"Beta 2-agonists - Short-acting inhaled forms include: Albuterol (Proventil® HFA, Ventolin® HFA, Accuneb®, ProAir®) Metaproterenol (Alupent®) Levalbuterol (Xoponex® HFA, Xoponex® nebulizer solution) Pirbuterol (Maxair®) Albuterol and ipatropium bromide combination (Combivent® metered dose inhaler; DuoNeb®) Short-acting beta 2-agonists are also called "quick acting" or "rescue" medicines because they relieve asthma symptoms very quickly by opening the airways.

They are also the medicines to use 15 to 20 minutes before exercise to prevent exercise-induced asthma symptoms."

For Teens, Too Much Sugar Can Be A Heartbreaker : Shots - Health News Blog : NPR

Teenagers who guzzle a daily bottle of soda are probably not thinking much about their hearts as the sweet stuff runs down their throats.

Antonio Garcia re-stocks the beverages at The Corner Market in Washington, D.C., in 2010. Study author Jean Welsh says that sweetened beverages tend to be the biggest source of added sugar.

Antonio Garcia re-stocks the beverages at The Corner Market in Washington, D.C., in 2010. Study author Jean Welsh says that sweetened beverages tend to be the biggest source of added sugar.

But a new study suggests they should be. Teens who consume lots of added sugar — usually found in sugar-sweetened beverages — risk heart problems later in life, researchers found.

This main problem is the sheer volume of sugar American teens consume: 28.3 teaspoons of added sugar a day on average. That makes up a whopping one-fifth of their daily calories, according to Jean Welsh, study author and post-doctoral fellow in pediatric nutrition at Emory University School of Medicine. It works out to an average of 476 calories a day.

 

Teens who consumed the highest percentage of their calories from added sugar had less of the "good" cholesterol compared with consumers who ate the least sugar. Another finding was that teens who consumed more added sugars also had higher levels of the "bad" cholesterol  and fats called triglycerides.

Asthma On The Rise: 25 Million In The U.S. Affected : Shots - Health News Blog : NPR

If asthma sometimes seems to be everywhere, it's not exactly your imagination.

Federal health officials estimate nearly 1 in 12 Americans, or nearly 25 million people have the respiratory disorder. That works out to 8.2 percent of the population in 2009, the latest year covered by the research.

 

The results from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention appear in this report.

The prevalence of asthma is up a little lately, from 7.7 percent in 2005.  How come? One reason is that doctors are looking for it more and are better at detecting it. The biggest increases in diagnosed asthma occurred in the '80s and '90s.

Asthma attacks, the severe breathing problems that can land someone in the hospital, affected 12.8 million people in the United States, or 4.2 percent of the population, in 2009. Attacks have held pretty steady for more than a decade.

Nurse and Doctor, Neighbor and Friend By THERESA BROWN, R.N. - NYTimes.com

“Something there is that doesn’t love a wall,” begins Robert Frost’s poem “Mending Wall,” about two neighbors who meet to repair the gaps and holes in the stone wall separating their properties. They walk on either side of it, picking up and replacing fallen stones as they go.

Theresa BrownJeff Swensen for The New York Times Theresa Brown, R.N.

The poem came to mind one recent day on the oncology floor where I work. It’s a medical oncology floor, where we tend to medical issues that go along with cancer, like giving chemotherapy and dealing with complications of metastatic disease. But it turned out that one of my patients had a serious surgical problem.

Surgical oncology is several flights of stairs below us. Even if they were next door, though, I imagine we’d still be inhabiting different worlds. There’s “med onc” and “surg onc,” and never the twain shall meet.

OrganizedWisdom Finds Free Experts Make for SEO Success - NYTimes.com

With Demand Media currently planning a high-profile IPO and issues being raised about the impact of “content farms” on search results, there is a lot of attention being paid to the question of content aggregation and its effect on the web. OrganizedWisdom Health, a health-resource service, now believes it’s better — and more profitable — to organize free content rather than pay for low-wage material.

The New York-based startup has spent most of the past four years building up an index of “wisdom cards:” topical health entries that were written by contributors for a small fee. At any given moment, OrganizedWisdom contracted with 100 writers, who covered a wide array of medical topics. But exactly one year ago, the company dropped the paid-content route and embraced a free expert model. So where does the content come from? The startup keeps track of some 5,000 doctors and health experts who use social media, and collects their contributions into wisdom cards.

      Nurses' Station:"The idea for the Nurses' Station Catalog was conceived in 1989. After searching the marketplace in response to customer inquiries, it became obvious that there were no catalogs of this type serving the nursing profession. To be sure, there were several catalogs offering nurse's uniforms and a smattering of professional items. But there weren't any catalogs at the time offering a range of gifts, clothing, professional items, name badges, shoes and scrubs for nurses. It took two years of hard work to gather samples and put a together a catalog of the most unique and high-quality items for nurses."
