Anti-Avian Influenza Chickens from Cambridge University

Lawrence Tiley, scientists from the Department of Veterinary Medicine, University of Cambridge, who was involved in the experiment "Chicken Anti-Avian Influenza" he said, the chicken was created through a process of genetic modification.

"Development is the first step to developing truly chickens resistant to avian influenza virus. Chickens are also made only for research purposes, not consumption,"

In this process, new genes that can produce a compound of the compound produced imitations of bird flu virus inserted. These compounds can inhibit the replication process so as to prevent the spread. Experiments conducted by scientists proved genetically modified chickens that have been proven to prevent the spread of the virus.

Awareness: Of Medicines and Mismeasurements

Awareness

Giving the correct dose of an over-the-counter pediatric medicine is critical, but the packagelabeling and dosing information can be virtually incomprehensible. And an overdose can be deadly. 

Over the year that ended on Nov. 1, 2009, researchers examined the directions and measuring devices in 200 nonprescription pediatric liquid medicines — drugs for allergy, cough and cold, pain or gastrointestinal problems, and medicines in combination products. 

Addiction recovery can often feel like a ‘hurry up and wait’ process.

Addiction Recovery

Sometimes leaving a drug rehab can fell like a graduation. The danger is believing that you have ‘done the recovery thing’ and can get on with life.

While you can certainly start getting on with life, you have entered the recovery process, not completed recovery as an event. Chances are that you experienced one-on-one counseling, group therapy, as well as a variety of other experiences. Those are the growth and education experiences,  that you should continue

Full Natural Brain Not Functioning Due to Drugs

Drugs

One dose of morphine was found lowered barriers in mice, even after the drug was missing from their system, according to the findings that may help scientists to better understand addiction in humans, U.S. researchers said on Wednesday.

In mice, these painkillers inhibit the brain's ability to strengthen connections or synapses, which erode the prizes or pleasure, said the researchers from Brown University in the journal Nature.

Drug Abuse

Drug abuse or misuse is seen in people of any age, sex, race, nationality, or socioeconomic class. Among older adults.

Abuse, Prevention, Addiction

The problem is often with inappropriate use of prescription or over-the-counter medications. Commonly misused drugs include sedatives, hypnotics, pain relievers, diet aids, decongestants, and a wide variety of over-the-counter medications. Many medications used by older adults can lead to tolerance (see below), withdrawal syndromes, or harmful medical consequences. Medical problems from misuse can include

Alcohol Misuse or Abuse

Drug Rehabilitation

Drinking, per se, is not physically or medically harmful, even among older adults. In fact, light to moderate alcohol consumption (eg, an average of one drink per day) among healthy older adults can have health benefits, especially with regard to heart health and longevity. Alcohol in moderate amounts may also promote relaxation and reduce social anxiety. However, alcohol abuse is associated with numerous negative health effects, especially among older adults. Alcohol abuse can cause serious illness, worsen other medical conditions, interfere with needed medications, and greatly decrease overall quality of life.

The terms "light," "moderate," and "heavy" drinking can mean different things to different people. In medical terms, one drink per day is defined as one 12-oz beer, one 4-oz glass of wine, or one 1-oz shot of liquor. A bottle of wine or a six-pack of beer should not be considered as "one" drink.

Cousins considers drug rehab to rebuild career

drug rehab

BEN Cousins and his family were last night deciding whether the suspended Eagles star should undertake drug rehabilitation as part of his bid to resurrect his shattered AFL career.

Asked if Cousins would seek rehabilitation, West Coast chief executive Trevor Nisbett said the Brownlow medallist would make a decision on his next step today.

"I am hopeful over the next 24 hours that Ben and his parents will make a decision on theissues he has got," Nisbett said. "He might be able to resolve some of them now and work on the others."

It is understood the club had strongly advised Cousins for several months to check himself into a rehabilitation program. But Cousins rejected the advice, believing he was mentally strong enough to beat the problem without taking such a drastic step.

SUBSTANCE ABUSE

SUBSTANCE ABUSE

The abuse and misuse of alcohol or drugs was once considered a problem only among the young. Unfortunately, substance abuse has become a growing problem among older adults as well. Community surveys suggest that misuse of alcohol or other drugs is a common cause of physical and mental health problems in older Americans, especially older men. Older adults are particularly vulnerable to the mental and physical effects of these substances, because of the changes that happen in our minds and bodies as we age. In fact, negative health consequences are sometimes seen in older adults at a level of alcohol or drug use that would be considered light to moderate in younger people.

Substance abuse has clear and profound effects on the health and well-being of older adults in all aspects of life. Many different organ systems can be damaged by substance abuse. The social and economic impact is also tremendous. Substance abuse has negative effects on self-esteem, coping skills, and interpersonal relationships, which can add to other losses that are common in the later stages of life.

Drug Reactions

Drugs

Most of the time, medicines make our lives better. They reduce aches and pains, fight infections, and control problems such as high blood pressure or diabetes. But medicines can also cause unwanted reactions.
One problem is interactions, which may occur between

• Two drugs, such as aspirin and blood thinners
• Drugs and food, such as statins and grapefruit
• Drugs and supplements, such as gingko and blood thinners
• Drugs and diseases, such as aspirin and peptic ulcers

Interactions can change the actions of one or both drugs. The drugs might not work, or you could get side effects.

Occurring Disorders a Common Phenomenon With Few Treatment Options

CHICAGO, Dec. 1, 2010 According to the American Psychiatric Association, at least three percent of the United States population has a co-occurring disorder, yet only eight percent of those suffering receive specialized treatment for both their mental illness and substance abuse disorders. Kimberly Dennis, MD, a psychiatrist specializing in eating disorder and addiction treatment and Medical Director at Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center, recommends that those suffering from a co-occurring disorder receive specialized care for all of their disorders with a unified treatment approach. For people with dual diagnosis, this can be the first and most important step to a successful and life-long recovery.
