[약사·약국] 릴리 - 시알리스/발기부전치료제
전립선비대증 환자의 절반 이상이 발기부전을 겪고 있는 것으로 알려진 가운데, 시알리스를 하루 한 알 복용하는 것이 전립성비대증상 개선에 안전하게 작용할 뿐 아니라 발기부전치료에도 효과적이라는 연구결과가 발표됐다. 한국릴리는 최근 열린 유럽비뇨기과학회에서 발표된 연구결과를 인용, 전립선비대증과 하부요로증상을 보이는 환자 281명을 대상으로 시알리스를 하루 한 알 복용한 결과 전립선비대증의 치료와 발기부전의 증상 개선에 의미 있는 결과를 얻었다고 발표했다.
이번 연구는 281명의 남성환자들을 무작위로 나...

[약사·약국] 폐기종(COPD)
Cigarette Smoking Is a Major Cause
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a general term used when a patient suffers from airway obstruction that is not reversible. COPD patients include those with chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both of these respiratory conditions.

[약사·약국] 천식(Asthma)
Asthma
Patients Need a Treatment Plan
Asthma is a chronic lung disease that usually can be controlled with medication but cannot be cured. In asthma, the lining of the airways are inflamed, leading to excess mucus production, which clogs airways, and muscle constriction, which narrows the airways. Breathing thus becomes difficult. The typical symptoms of asthma are shortness of breath, a tight feeling in the chest, coughing, and wheezing. However, some patients have only a cough or burning ...

[약사·약국] 기관지염(Bronchitis)
Mucus Blocks Airways
Bronchitis is an inflammation of the lining of the large airways in the lungs. The airways include the trachea and bronchioles(the ‘tracheobronchial tree’). In acute bronchitis, inflammation is usually the result of an infection in the respiratory tract, caused by a cold or flu virus, or, less often, bacteria. Chronic bronchitis is most often caused by cigarettes or by inhaling dust or chemicals. Inflammation or swelling of the respiratory tract lining result...

[약사·약국] 열탈진/열사병(Heat Exhaustion/Heat Stroke)
Two Related Conditions
Heat exhaustion and heat stroke are two conditions that can result from exposure to high environmental temperatures for brief or extended periods of time.
In this conditions, the body cannot compensate for the excess heat and cannot effectively cool itself through sweating. This is often the case during extreme exertion in the heat, causing increased heat production by the muscles. It is also more common when humidity levels are high, which makes it more difficult for ...

[약사·약국] 청력 소실(Hearing Loss)
Hearing Loss
Most Hearing Loss
is Age-Related
Hearing is a complicated process. When a sound enters the external ear, it causes the outer eardrum to vibrate, or shake. The three small bones of the ear then respond to this shaking, and begin vibrating. The vibration reaches the inner ear, and produces waves in the inner ear fluid. These waves move the tiny hairs in the inner ear, and an electrical signal is sent to the brain. The brain reads these electrical signals as sounds.
If any of th...

[약사·약국] 백선감염(Ringworm Infections)
Ringworm Infections
Different Areas of the Body Are Affected
Ringworm is an infection caused by one of a group of fungal parasites (dermatophytes) that affect the skin. Dermatophytes thrive in warm, moist places and live on keratin, a protein found in dead skin, nails, and hair cells. These fungal infections are called tinea infections, and they are named for the area of the body involved. The most common are tinea capitis (scalp), tinea corporis (body), tinea cruris (groin), tinea pedis (f...

[약사·약국] 곤충독 Anaphylaxis from Insect Bites/Stings
Quick Treatment Is Crucial
Mild allergic reactions to insect bites and stings, especially those from certain bees, spiders, fire ants, and scorpions, are common. For most people, these bites and stings cause a local allergic reaction at the wound site, with redness and swelling that disappear in a few days. However, a dangerous allergic reaction to insect stings and bites can occur. This severe allergic response is called anaphylaxis. Swelling of the lips, eyelids, throat, and tongue may ...

Colorectal Cancer
Regular Screening Cuts Death Rate
The second-leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. is colorectal cancer, which occurs primarily in people over the age of 50. The colon (large intestine) and rectum are located at the end of the digestive tract. Cancers that occur at either of theses two sites are similar, and they are referred to as colorectal cancers. Almost all of these cancers begin with the growth of adenomas, a precancerous type of polyp that grows on the inside wa...

Ovarian Cysts
A sac filled with fluid
An ovarian cyst is a common gynecologic problem. The most usual type is a functional cyst. This can occur when the sac in the ovary(called a follicle) matures and breaks open, releasing the egg, but does not shrink back to its normal size. A related functional cyst is a corpus luteum cyst, which is the result of bleeding in the sac after the egg is released. Functional cysts often disappear without treatment. A tumor or solid cyst, usually discovered du...

[약사·약국] 최대 호기류 속도 측정기(Using a Peak Flow Meter)
Using a Peak Flow Meter
Device Measures Air Flow
For persons who have asthma, a small, portable device known as a peak flow meter can be a very important tool in monitoring the disease. This device measures how fast an individual can blow air out of his or her lungs after taking a deep breath. The peak flow meter is actually measuring obstruction in the airways. The meter can be an important early warning device indicating that asthma is getting worse. It can warn of this change even a day ...
