A Brief Look at Uterine Fibroids

Menstruation usually includes discomfort, but excessive pain and bleeding can possibly indicate another problem known as uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids are benign growths of smooth muscle cells that are located within the uterus. Though the exact cause of these fibroids is unknown, research into the cause and treatment is ongoing.

Do You Suffer From Migraines?

Headaches are considered quite common, but migraines aren’t just headaches. They are a collection of severe neurological symptoms that usually present in a recurring, throbbing pain on one side of the head. One in three migraine attacks features pain on both sides of the head. These attacks can last anywhere from 4 to 72 hours, though every attack is unique to the person affected. Today we’re going to be talking about migraines, what they are, and how they affect people who have them. Let’s take a look.

Do you have a MIRENA IUD?

Be part of a Bayer-sponsored study on the extended use of Mirena. Pharmasite Research is participating in a Bayer-sponsored study on the extended use of the Mirena® IUD. The Mirena® intrauterine contraceptive has been approved as a safe and reliable method of contraception for up to 5 years by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA). The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Mirena® beyond 5 years, up to 8 years of use at preventing a pregnancy. Additionally, the study would assess menstrual blood loss, bleeding patterns and safety during the extended use. The results of this study may allow women to continue use of the Mirena® beyond 5 years, up to 8 years.

You may be eligible to participate in this study if:
You are a woman between the ages of 18 and 35
You are currently using Mirena® for contraception OR contraception and heavy menstrual bleeding
You have been using the same Mirena® for at least 4.5 years and are able to show documentation of the original date of insertion and indication for use.
You are willing to use the study drug as your main form of contraception
You are sexually active with a male partner who has not had a vasectomy

Qualified participants will receive:

Medical exams

Alzheimer’s Disease Studies

 

Alzheimer’s disease is an age related brain disease in which an individual experiences progressive memory loss. Known as one of the most common forms of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease is associated with loss of functioning in daily activities and occupational domains. It is also often associated with behavioral changes, irritability, and mood disorders.

Alzheimer’s disease is not a part of the normal aging process, though the risk of the disease greatly increases with age. While it is not yet fully known what causes the disease, a genetic mutation (APOEe4), family history, complex changes in the brain over time and environmental and lifestyle factors may be contributors.

Symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease may include:

Memory problems that disrupt daily living
Repetition of questions / statements
Impaired judgement and reasoning skills
Difficulty finding the right words in conversation
Trouble completing complex tasks
Getting lost in familiar surroundings
Spatial and visual relationship problems
Difficulty with self-care
Anxiety and impulsive behavior
Paranoia and confusion

Several Risk factors linked to Alzheimer’s disease include:

 Increasing Age
 A specific type of genetic mutation (APOE-e4)
Family history of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease
Diabetes
Heart disease
Head trauma

Should your family member or loved one participate in a study?

If your family member, loved one or friend is experiencing signs of dementia that could be associated with Alzheimer’s disease you may wish to participate in a clinical trial. Several clinical trials are being conducted nationwide to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of potential new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease. Studies usually require the participation of the patient and a partner (i.e., a spouse, family member or friend).

Study participants receive at no cost:

Investigational medication
Cognitive evaluations

Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) Studies

 

Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is a medical condition, usually occurring in older adults, where an individual develops a mild but measurable decline in thinking, memory and processing abilities simvastatin dosage. These changes are serious enough to be noticed by family and friends, and may interfere with everyday activities.

Our body and brain changes as we grow older.  Many of us suffer from an occasional “senior moment” where we’ve misplaced our keys, forgotten a person’s name, or created lists to organize our thoughts.

 Symptoms of MCI may include:

 Increased difficulty making decisions
Feeling overwhelmed when solving problems
Challenges with performing more than one task at a time
Forgetting important information, previously easy to recall
Forgetting recent events
Beginning to have trouble navigating familiar surroundings
Becoming more impulsive and less tolerant
Apathy and / or anxiety

Advancing age
Elevated cholesterol or high blood pressure
Family history of dementia or Alzheimer’s
Smoking
A specific type of gene (APOE-e4) which is also linked to Alzheimer’s disease

       Lifestyle factors may include:

Non-participation in socially engaging or mentally stimulating activities
Depression
Lack of exercise
