(HealthDayNews) -- When aches and pains send you to the drug store looking for relief, make sure you choose the right product for you and your ailment.
After reading the product labels carefully, the University of Iowa suggests you ask yourself (or possibly your physician or pharmacist) these questions:
What conditions or symptoms does the medication treat?
How severe are my symptoms, and how long have I had them?
How much medicine should I take, how often, and for how long?
Can I drive while taking the medication?
Can this medicine affect other health conditions I might have, such as asthma, high blood pressure or pregnancy?
Health Tip: Nuts Are Good for You
July 28, 2005 08:41:16 PM PST
(HealthDayNews) -- Have you stopped snacking on nuts because you've heard they're too fatty, caloric, and salty? Well, take heart.
According to the University of California, Berkley, studies have shown that nuts can help prevent coronary disease.
They're rich in unsaturated fats, vitamin E, fiber, folic acid, and other B vitamins. And walnuts are especially rich in heart-healthy oil.
So dig in, but choose the unsalted variety and, as with any food, enjoy them in moderation.
Primate Gene Link Opens Up Eye Research
July 28, 2005 08:41:16 PM PST
THURSDAY, July 28 (HealthDay News) -- A genetic link between rhesus monkeys and humans with macular degeneration -- an incurable eye disease that's the leading cause of blindness in the United States -- may provide information about the earliest stages of the disease, when severe vision loss could be halted.
"Stopping the development of the disease is something the monkeys will help us do that we can't do with humans. This is a big step forward in dealing with the disease," study co-author William W. Dawson, a professor of ophthalmology and physiology at the University of Florida, Gainesville, said in a prepared statement.
With help from researchers in Germany, Dawson's team say they've pinpointed a chromosome region and genetic markers for macular degeneration in both humans and rhesus monkeys. The finding enables researchers to study how macular degeneration progresses in the monkeys, which could lead to better treatments and possibly a cure for the disease in humans.
Studying rhesus monkeys should help researchers learn more about the earliest predictors of macular degeneration, Dawson said.
"It's difficult to follow closely the aging of a human over a specific period of time. People wouldn't tolerate a controlled (living) environment for weeks and years," Dawson noted.
The study appears in the online issue of Experimental Eye Research.
