Depressive states so far are one of the most common mental disorders.

These endogenous depressions vary in severity and in their manifestations, but leading and constant among them are pathologically depressed mood symptoms.
Among the methods of treatment of endogenous depression is the most common drug therapy with the use of so-called antidepressant drugs.

Indomethacin, one of the traditional drugs used to prevent preterm birth, inhibits the enzyme cyclooxygenase, which plays a key role in the development of premature birth. Not long ago, at the same time several research groups (including a group from the University of Washington) found that women with preterm labor have abnormally high levels of COX izoenzymes, only one, and exactly cyclooxygenase-2. Therefore, researchers hypothesized that a specific inhibitor of cyclooxygenase – 2 generic Celebrex may be effective in preventing preterm delivery with the fewest side effects.
24 women aged over 18 who have a birth on the age of 24 to 34 weeks’ gestation, received Celebrex or Indomethacin. All patients were randomized and included in the first group treated with Indomethacin, a second group treated with generic Celebrex. The health of mother and fetus before birth has been carefully studied.

The varieties of herpes infections include genital herpes, one of the most common sexually transmitted infections, and herpes zoster, which is the most common and difficult, in the elderly patients.
In 1974, the lab GlaxoWellcome has invented and introduced into clinical practice acyclovir, under original name Zovirax – the drug from the group of nucleoside analogues, efficiently and selectively acting at the level of cells infected with the herpes virus. In 1988, for inventing this drug colleague lab GlaxoWellcome Gertrude Ellion was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine!

Scientists have found that the use of Finasteride reduces the blood supply to the prostate. This can be useful during surgery for BPH – transurethral resection of the prostate, as the decline of blood supply will lead to reduction of bleeding after surgery.
The authors studied the blood supply to the prostate using ultrasonography in 32 patients at 6 weeks after therapy of generic Propecia 0.5mg per day. Also, the drug has been used for 6 weeks before surgery TURP, after which the results of surgical treatment compared with control group patients who did not take Propecia.

Very often in the instructions for use of a drug can be found such as the subtitle of “interaction with other drugs.” In fact, it is very important.

A diet based around plants, nuts and high-fiber grains lowered “bad” cholesterol more than a low-saturated-fat diet that was also vegetarian, researchers reported on Tuesday. And the drop in low-density lipoprotein, or LDL cholesterol, was big enough that dietary changes could be an alternative to statin medications for many people, they said.
“There’s no question that statins have made a major difference in terms of cardiovascular disease control,” said study author Dr. David Jenkins, from the University of Toronto. But at least for now, he added, “we can only get so far with statins.” One in four adults age 45 and older in the U.S. takes the cholesterol-lowering drugs.
Jenkins and his colleagues wanted to see how big an effect a diet based on the pillars of lower cholesterol could have on LDL numbers without statins. They randomly split 351 Canadians with high cholesterol into three groups. One group got nutrition counseling promoting a low-saturated-fat diet for six months.

Vitamin D supplements reduced risk factors for type 2 diabetes by improving the function of insulin-producing cells in pre-diabetic volunteers, a new study has found. “The results…suggest that vitamin D supplementation may help to improve the main defect in type 2 diabetes,” co-author Dr. Anastassios Pittas, an endocrinologist at Tufts University Medical Center in Boston, told Reuters Health in an email.
Type 2 diabetes, the most common form of the disease, affects millions of Americans. The condition is characterized by high blood-sugar levels resulting from the body’s poor response to insulin, a chemical that removes sugar from the bloodstream and stores it in the liver and muscles. Insulin is made by beta cells in the pancreas.
