Vaccine
Preventing Cervical Cancer
The
US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the first
vaccine, Gardasil, against human papillomavirus (HPV), which
causes Cervical Cancer.
This will not be available to women for a few years,
but could save thousands of lives and may end the need for
smear tests, once available. The vaccine would be given to
girls prior to them becoming sexually active. Trials have
shown that this vaccine can offer 100% protection against
strains of HPV related to about 70% of cervical
cancers.
According
to the World Health Organization, Cervical cancer kills more
than 288,000 women worldwide each year, and is on the rise if
nothing is done about it.
HPV
is a very common sexually transmitted virus. Most people who
have ever had sex, both men and women, have been infected at
some point in their lives. Most people never even know they've
had HPV because the virus usually doesn't cause any symptoms
and the body is able to fight it off easily.
The
vaccine, Gardasil, only targets 4 HPV types. There are as many
as 100 strains of the virus. Also, Gardasil only works if a
woman has not been infected with one of these HPV types. High
risk HPV types, strains 16, 18, and 31 and 33 have been found
in close to 100% of all cervical
cancers.
The FDA has approved the vaccine in women
ages 9-26. Now that the vaccine is FDA-approved, a separate
federal panel will decide what the immunization schedule
should be. This is not for sale as of yet.

What is Obesity?
Obesity
is a condition in which the natural energy reserve, stored in
the fatty tissue of humans is increased to a point where it is
thought to be a risk factor for certain health conditions or
increased mortality.
During
the past 20 years, obesity among adults has risen
significantly in
North
America. The latest data from the
National
Center
for Health Statistics show that over 60 million adults 20
years of age and older are obese. The percentage of
young people who are overweight has more than tripled since
1980, among children and teens aged 6-19 years, over 9 million
young people are considered overweight.
Being overweight or obese increases the risk of
many diseases and health conditions, including the
following:
* Hypertension
* Dyslipidemia
(for example, high total cholesterol or high levels of
triglycerides)
* Type
2 diabetes
* Coronary
heart disease
* Stroke
* Gallbladder
disease
* Osteoarthritis
* Sleep
apnea and respiratory problems
* Some
cancers (endometrial, breast, and
colon)
Although
many people have a genetic propensity towards obesity, in most
cases this propensity requires the modern environment with
increased caloric availability and decreased requirements for
physical labor in order to be expressed fully. You can prevent
weight gain first by assessing your behavior and environment
and then by making healthy habits.
You
can ask your doctor what you can do to lead a healthy
lifestyle.

Your Comments
"I
had a call yesterday about a refill. The woman I
spoke to was very nice and courteous. However, I have
one complaint. She refused to say cool Canadian words
like abut (about) and hoser. Being from
Texas,
we are often made fun of because of our accent. She even
refused after I offered to say
Texas words like thang
(thing) and sheeeeuuut (shit). Please have a talk
to you staff about this."
KR
"Just
a short note to let you know that I think your company and
especially the ladies that answer the phones and return calls
are the best. I will continue to have all my prescriptions
filled with you."
TO
"I think that your handling of my account has
been exemplary! Keep up the good work! My experience with the two drugs
I get from you has been without problems, yet my HMO has tried to steer
me to cheaper alternatives. Thus, I turn to you-----I don't
mind paying a decent, fair price for my medicine, but I won't
change just to get a cheaper price-----"if it ain't broke, don't fix it" Please stick
around!"
