It contributes to the emergence of eversion of the mucous membranes, tears of the cervix during childbirth and abortion. In chronic endocervicitis prolonged abnormal discharge lead to maceration and desquamation of the epithelium of the cervix.<br />
Symptoms within. The defect of the epithelium (the true erosion) has a bright red color, bleeds when touched. A false erosion is characterized by the replacement (heterotopia) stratified squamous epithelium of the cylinder. There are simple (smooth surface), glandular (glands with significant development stretched cavities) erosion and papiplyarnuyu (papillary excrescences on the surface). Often combined with the erosion of the cystic expansion of cervical glands.<br />
Diagnosis is based on examination of the cervix, colposcopy, cytology smear scrapings from the surface erosion. On examination, the true erosion reveal a bright red area, bleeding in the lung is touched. Cytological examination of cells reveals the deep layers of stratified squamous epithelium (basal, parabasal), white blood cells. When the false appearance of erosion erosion is somewhat reminiscent of the true, but its surface is paler, sometimes velvety, papillary. Cytological examination reveals columnar epithelium cells. Must be differentiated from the cancer process, leukoplakia, mucosal ectropion tservikalnoga rocked.<br />
Treatment. If true erosion &#8212; the use of tampons with emulsions of antibiotics in fish oils, liquid paraffin. In pseudo-diathermocoagulation after biopsy or diatermoekstsiziya cervical laser therapy. For pseudo-cautery may be used vaginal swab moistened vagotilom and applied to the cervix for 1-3 minutes 2-3 times a week (a total of 5-10 times), the remnants of the drug is removed from the vaginal dry swab.<br />
Prognosis is favorable.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Either heart failure or diabetes alone is bad enough, but oftentimes the two conditions seem to go together. Now, researchers reporting in the January Cell Metabolism appear to have found the culprit that leads from heart failure to diabetes and perhaps a novel way to break that metabolic vicious cycle.</p>
<p>&#171;Our findings clarify the reasons why the incidence of heart failure is high among diabetic patients, why the prevalence of insulin resistance is increased in heart failure patients, and why treatment of insulin resistance improves the prognosis of heart failure patients,&#187; says Tohru Minamino of Chiba University Graduate School of Medicine.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a domino effect, the new evidence shows: the stress of heart failure activates the sympathetic nervous system. That stress response activates p53, which Minamino calls a cellular aging signal. That p53 signal ultimately leads to inflammation in fat tissue, systemic insulin resistance, and worsening heart function.</p>
<p>Of course, the protein p53 is probably best known as a tumor suppressor. &#171;It has been reported that p53-dependent cellular aging is a protective mechanism for cancer development,&#187; Minamino says. But, he adds, constant activation of the anticancer signal can promote inflammation, cancer, and other diseases of aging.</p>
<p>Minamino had earlier shown that age-associated or stress-induced accumulation of p53 in the heart promotes heart failure. Aging and extra calories induce that same aging signal in fat tissue. Now it seems that activation of cardiac p53 also leads to activation of p53 in fat tissue. Those p53-dependent cellular aging signals in both tissues interact with each other, thereby accelerating the development of age-associated diseases, he says.</p>
<p>This suggests that an ideal treatment would block the inflammation that goes with p53&#8242;s activation without compromising its tumor-fighting abilities. And for Minamino, that&#8217;s the Holy Grail: an antiaging therapy without the cancer risk.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The research team at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis also found evidence that patients with the mutation are more likely to develop acute leukemia. While this finding needs to be confirmed in additional patients, the study raises the prospect that a genetic test could one day more accurately diagnose the disorder and predict the course of the disease.</p>
<p>The research is available online in Nature Genetics.</p>
<p>The scientists discovered the mutation in a gene known as U2AF1 when they sequenced the entire genome of a 65-year old man with myelodysplastic syndrome that had progressed to leukemia and compared it to the genome of his tumor cells. They also found the genetic error in other patients with myelodysplastic syndromes, an indication of the mutation’s significance.</p>
<p>“The mutation in this gene was not on anyone’s radar screen,” says senior author and hematologist/oncologist Matthew Walter, MD, assistant professor of medicine. “In many cases, the diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndromes is unclear because there isn’t a straightforward diagnostic test. By understanding at the genetic level what is contributing to this disease, we hope to eventually improve the diagnosis and treatment of this disorder.”</p>
<p>Myelodysplastic syndromes are a difficult-to-treat family of blood cancers that occur when blood cells in the bone marrow don’t mature properly. About 28,000 Americans are diagnosed with the disorder each year, most of them over age 60. Drugs are available to treat the disease, but none can cure it.</p>
<p>In about 30 percent of cases, the disorder progresses to a form of acute myeloid leukemia that usually is fatal because chemotherapy drugs are not effective in these patients. Doctors currently assess the likelihood that a patient with myelodysplastic syndrome will develop leukemia by looking at the chromosomes in the tumor cells to determine the extent to which they have broken apart and rearranged themselves, an indicator of the severity of the disease. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>October 5th company «Sanofi» and its division «Genzyme» reported the results of clinical studies TEMSO (TEriflunomide Multiple Sclerosis Oral) drug Aubagio ™ (teriflunomide) for the treatment of multiple sclerosis. Thus, according to data published in the British Journal «The New England Journal of Medicine», the use of this drug in oral form significantly reduced the relapse rate and the rate of progression of the disease, as well as its activity, as reflected in the magnetic resonance tomogram (MRI) .</p>
<p>Multiple sclerosis is related to autoimmune diseases and is characterized by a lesion of the myelin sheath of nerve fibers of the brain and spinal cord of T-and B-lymphocytes, which is disruptive to the transmission of nerve impulses to the further development of sensory and motor disorders. Aubagio ™ inhibits mitochondrial enzymes in T-and B-lymphocytes by blocking cell proliferation and activity and thus preventing their damaging effect on the myelin sheath.<br />
Clinical research TEMSO lasted 2 years and included 1088 patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis in 21 countries. Aubagio ™ application in the oral form of 31% reduced risk of relapse of multiple sclerosis compared with placebo. Time to first relapse was also significantly delayed. Thus, in 53.7% of patients taking 7mg of the drug, and 56.5% of patients taking 14 mg of the drug, managed to avoid the appearance of recurrence during the study period (2 years), whereas in the placebo group this figure amounted to 45.6%.</p>
<p>It is still ongoing research on the effectiveness teriflunomide in patients with multiple sclerosis: TOWER, TENERE, TERACLES (as an adjunct to the appointment of beta-interferon) and TOPIC.</p>
<p>In August this year, the company has applied for approval to the Office of the Food and Drug Administration USA (Food and Drug Administration) and plans to apply to the European Medicines Agency (European Medicines Agency) in the I quarter 2012</p>

For example, did you know that any home work, when you come in contact with water, the need to wear gloves on his hands.</p>
<p>To  not show up calluses, various abrasions, should sprinkle talcum powder  on his hands, or use the starch, then you can safely wear gloves. If the blisters on his hands already, you need to do daily soda bath, rub them and lubricate any cosmetic oil.</p>
<p>When you wash your hands, do not allow that they dried themselves. Be sure to wipe dry with a towel on them and smear with cream. This must always remember, because the beauty of hand depends on a number of these now &#171;little things&#187;. If you have a chance, then wear special gloves before going to bed rest, pre-lubricated hands nourishing cream. Rubbing hand cream, it should move from the toes to their base, then the same move on the back of the palm to the wrist.</p>
<p>Wash hands with warm water is best, and use soap and water, have nutritional and moisturizing effect.</p>
<p>Ideal habit is a hand massage before going to bed with a nourishing cream. Let it be your constant.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4 id="intro">Many people are asking what generics mean.</h4>
<p>Nowadays, this is the one question that many people ask when it comes to  taking medicines. Aside from the cheaper price how is it different from  other medicines?</p>
<p>Let us find out below.</p>
<p>In everything that we buy we have two distinct groups:  the generics,  and the branded. Brand items are borne out of marketing and  identification of a product. For example, Apple is a brand and we can  say a computer is the generic product for Apple.</p>
<p>In medicine, a generic drug is made with the <strong>same ingredients</strong> and  is available in the same dosage and strength as branded pills. Most of  the time the dosage mirrors the amount recommended when one uses brand  name drugs. Generics also produce the same effects to the body as brand  name pills. In composition, amount, and effects to the body, generics  and brand name drugs are identical.</p>
<p>The main, but minor, difference of brand name pills and generics is the <strong>&#171;name&#187;</strong> or the <strong>tag</strong>.  These tags are marketing terms or lingos so that the pill can  differentiate itself from the market. Brand-name pills have unique  logos, color, and shape. On the other hand, generic pills <strong>look different</strong> from brand name pills because the name and the shape of the pills are a  registered trademark. However, aside from the shape and the color,  brand name pills and generics are identical.</p>
<h4 id="reliable">Are generic drugs as reliable as brand name pills?</h4>
<p><img src="http://www.rx-partners-usa.com/images/testing1.jpg" alt="" align="right" /> Generic drugs are tested under the same standards as brand-name drugs.  Each generic drug is laboratory tested so that the same amount is  absorbed into the body as with brand-name drugs.  Generic drugs also have the same side effects as brand-name products.  Generic drugs work no differently in children or elderly.</p>

<h4 id="regulated">Are generic drugs regulated?<span id="more-5"></span></h4>
<p>Generic drugs are FDA approved just like brand-name drugs. The FDA, or  Food and Drug Administration, regulates the market and protects the  public by inspecting drug manufacturers, and recalling products that do  not meet stringent standards. Manufacturing plants are also <strong>inspected by the FDA</strong> to make sure that they are compliant with FDA standards. The U.S Food  and Drug Administration has accomplished 3,500 inspections annually to  ensure that the standards for medicines are met. For example, Intas (one  of our suppliers in India) has upgraded its manufacturing capabilities.  It has regulatory approval of agencies like FDA, <acronym title="Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency"><a href="http://www.mhra.gov.uk/" target="_blank">MHRA</a></acronym>, <acronym title="Therapeutic Goods Administration"><a href="http://www.tga.gov.au/" target="_blank">TGA</a></acronym>, <acronym title="National Health Surveillance Agency"><a href="http://www.anvisa.gov.br/eng/index.htm" target="_blank">ANVISA</a></acronym>.</p>
<h4 id="patented">Are generic drugs patented?</h4>
<p><img src="http://www.rx-partners-usa.com/images/pat-seal-2.png" alt="" align="right" /> No, but having a patent does not make it any more reliable.</p>
<p>Manufacturers patent their products so that they could have the  exclusive rights to produce a drug for a period of time. As defined, a  patent is a policy provided to people who seek protection for their  intellectual property. In effect, the government gives the inventor the  right to produce and sell his invention exclusively in exchange for  sharing the details of the invention to the public domain. As an  intellectual property, owners can also license their patented products  as well as mortgage, assign, or transfer the right to other parties.  These rights only apply until the patent expires.</p>
<p>Generic versions of these medicines can be produced after their patent  expires since it will not be legal for anyone to take advantage of the  invention without repercussions. The length of applied patents for US  drug products is 20 years. Although it may seem that it is a long time,  we have to remember that patents must be approved first before clinical  trials begin. Excluding clinical trial and testing, the life of a US  drug patent is pegged at seven to twelve years.</p>
<p>Generic pills can be produced based on these 4 reasons:</p>
<ul>
<li>1. The patent has expired</li>
<li>2. The patent for the drug is invalid, or hard to enforce</li>
<li>3. Non-existence of a drug patent from the start</li>
<li>4. Under government where U.S. patents are not enforced.</li>
</ul>
<p>For guidance on the legal issues of generic medicine, you can refer to  the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984. This  law essentially increased the protection of patented products, but also  allows generic medicines makers to produce their medicines. <strong>Generic drugs are effective, safe and FDA approved.</strong></p>
<p>The process of patenting is not only exclusive in the United States.  There are different standards of patenting in India in China and other  countries. The bottom-line is that with the different patenting policies  from different countries, patenting is a non-issue in the long run.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.rx-partners-usa.com/images/ind-flag.png" alt="" align="left" /> India passed the Patent Act in 1970, which allows Indian companies to  make generic and cheaper alternatives for well known medicines. Then on  2004, India changed its patent standards to allow patents on chemicals.  As of date, there are approximately 6,000 patents filed under the Indian  government. India&#8217;s patent system is designed to encourage firms to  invest in low-cost manufacturing processes and make the generic  medicines widely available to the market at low prices. With this development, India is now producing roughly half of the  world&#8217;s antiretrovirals, most with modest cost and with the country also  supplying much of the ingredients for the drug.</p>

<h4 id="cheaper">Why are generics cheaper?</h4>
<p><img src="http://www.rx-partners-usa.com/images/piggy.jpg" alt="" align="left" /> Generics are much cheaper than brand-name drugs because generic  companies do not have overhead cost such as research and marketing. Most  generic drugs are manufactured off-shore and sold online. Since  manufacturers do not spend on advertising, research, and creating a  physical store, the cost savings are passed on to the consumer.</p>
<p>The US FDA and its arm, the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research  stated that because of the existence of generic medicines, the drug  costs per day can fall up to 14%. Patients who are fully satisfied with  generic medicines can enjoy as much 52% in savings from generic  medicines.</p>

Generic pills, 44 %</div>

<p>Today, more than 44 % of all prescriptions drugs in the United States  have an equivalent generic counterpart. Using generic medication is a  decision that you can make with the help of your physician and  pharmacist.   Consult with your physician if any prescription medication that you are  currently taking can be replaced with generic drugs. By taking generic  drugs, you will see your medicine bills drop dramatically while still  maintaining your drug dosage.</p>
