Oral amphotericin B may be used to treat intestinal infections and does not have unpleasant side-effects like intravenous amphotericin B simply because it is not absorbed into the blood stream from the gut. Since oral amphotericin B is not absorbed from the gut, it can only be used to treat infections in the gut and not invasive aspergillosis.

There are at least five drugs used for the treatment of people with chronic hepatitis B: Adefovir dipivoxil, interferon alfa-2b, pegylated interferon alfa-2a, lamivudine, and entecavir.

Adequate and well-controlled studies are needed to determine if thalidomide is effective in treating other diseases.

Not yet. Although embryonic stem cell research has shown great potential, the field is still very new; human embryonic stem cells were first identified in 1998. Moreover, in the US and some other countries, progress has been slowed by funding restrictions and political controversies.

This is a condition which produces an allergy to the spores of the aspergillus moulds. It is quite common in asthmatics; up to 20% of asthmatics might get this at some time during their lives. ABPA is also common in cystic fibrosis patients, as they reach adolescence and adulthood. The symptoms are similar to those of asthma: intermittent episodes of feeling unwell, coughing and wheezing. Some patients cough up brown-coloured plugs of mucus.

Aspergillus spores are found everywhere in the environment including the air we breathe. The spores can therefore enter everyone's lungs and can also enter wounds. This is how all Aspergillus diseases are contracted, although the underlying reasons for the different types of Aspergillus diseases differ. Invasive aspergillosis occurs almost exclusively in people with a damaged immune system.

Like many other hospitals, this Institute also would like to specialize in certain areas and in certain specific diseases, where, past experiences have very clearly shown encouraging results regarding efficacy of Nature Cure. We naturally limit ourselves to those areas only. However, it covers majority of the public health problems.

Anything and Everything. There is no condition that Homeopathy cannot treat. Conditions from a Common cold to cancer pain can be treated naturally and effectively with Homeopathy.

Doctors have been using adult stem cells, such as the blood-forming type in bone marrow (called hematopoietic stem cells), to perform bone marrow transplants for over 40 years. Similar techniques have since been developed for treating leukemia, lymphoma and several inherited blood disorders. Recent studies have shown that adult stem cells may be able to treat a wider range of diseases than previously thought.

There are several safer forms of amphotericin B which are mixtures of the drug with various fats. These are called liposomal, lipid complex and colloidal dispersion forms of amphotericin B and are sold under the names Ambisome, Abelcet and Amphocil/Amphotec respectively. These drugs are all given intravenously and are less toxic because amphotericin B is tightly bound to the fat mixtures and will not leave these mixtures unless it meets something it is more attracted to.

Liposomal encapsulation or incorporation into a lipid complex can substantially affect a drug's functional properties relative to those of the unencapsulated drug or non-lipid associated drug. In addition, different liposomal or lipid-complex products with a common active ingredient may vary from one another in the chemical composition and physical form of the lipid component. Such differences may affect the functional properties of these drug products.

No. People usually contract Aspergillus diseases by breathing in the spores as Aspergillus is everywhere in the environment. In addition someone must have an underlying disease for Aspergillus to be a problem. On one occasion a silent Aspergillus infection in an organ donor passed the infection on to the recipients of his/her organs, but this is exceptional.

A full charge takes 16 hours and will allow you to brush for more than 7 days for the Plak Control Power toothbrush and 12 days for the 3D and 3D Excel Pulsating Toothbrushes.

Methylphenidate is the name of the most common medication used to treat ADHD. This is the generic drug contained in prescriptions for Ritalin, Ritalin-SR, Concerta and Metadate. Methylphenidate is also available as a generic medication. Methyphenidate is a Central Nervous System stimulant, or a CNS stimulant. Adderall is another popular medication for ADHD. Adderall is a mixture of four different amphetamine salts. Dexedrine, which is also an amphetamine, is also used to treat ADHD.

Currently, three drug classes are used to treat chronic angina: nitrates, calcium channel blockers, and beta-blockers. Beta-blockers stop the action of a substance in the nervous system (adrenaline) that stimulates the heart to work harder and faster. By reducing the heart's workload (by reducing blood pressure, heart rate, and the strength of the pumping force of the heart), beta-blockers decrease the amount of oxygen that the heart requires to perform.

Ketek (telithromycin) is indicated for the treatment of very serious bacterial infections, such as community-acquired pneumonia (including multi-drug resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae), acute bacterial sinusitis, and acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis.

When acne does not respond to topical medications or is severe, systemic medications (pills) are used. The tetracycline antibiotics are effective in many people. Erythromycin, Bactrim, and other antibiotics are second-line antibiotic therapies. However, long term antibiotic use can cause bacterial resistance in those who use them and should be used with caution. There are other side effects that must be discussed with your doctor.

The role of angiogenesis and its contribution to the development of other diseases is being widely studied. In the future, these diseases may be treated with angiogenesis inhibitors. Currently, angiogenesis inhibitors are in clinical trial for certain eye diseases. For information about these clinical trials for eye disease, you may consult your physician or contact the Macular Degeneration Foundation at 1-888-633-3937 or www.eyesight.org.

The term Aspergillus refers to a group of mould fungi which are found world-wide and are especially known for decaying fruit and vegetables. They are very common in the autumn and winter in the Northern hemisphere. Only a few of these moulds can cause illness in humans and animals, most commonly these are Aspergillus fumigatus Aspergillus niger Aspergillus terreus and Aspergillus flavus. Most people are naturally immune and do not develop disease caused by Aspergillus.

No one knows. In fact, it is not known if cloning-for-biomedical-research will help treat diseases at all, but some researchers believe they have sound reasons for expecting valuable knowledge from such research. Other avenues of research on diseases are also being pursued, including adult stem cell research and various alternative techniques for dealing with immune rejection.

Ayurveda has proven very effective for a vast majority of diseases which affect the body, including skin diseases, ailments of the bones and joints (e.g. Arthritis etc), diabetes and other hormone related diseases, nervous system disorders like paralysis, epilepsy etc. It has become popular in the treatment of cases related to decreased vitality. It is helpful in ailments that are recurring or persistent and have no definitive treatment in other systems of medicines.

Acupuncture can help your body heal almost any disease process; it does this by helping your body regain its natural balance. (And by the way, regaining your natural balance will help you feel healthier and happier in general.)

Homeopathic treatment aims to improve overall health by restoring order at a deep level to activate the body???s innate healing system. It is difficult to identify which ???diseases??? it can treat. Just the question presupposes a conventional view of health and disease that is contrary to the homeopathic holistic view. Experience has shown that Homeopathy can be effective for many people with serious and chronic conditions, as well as common and acute illnesses.
