Inhalers may raise risk of asthma in some children

Common asthma reliever drugs taken by millions of children around the world may increase the risk of asthma attacks in some patients with a particular genetic make-up, British scientists said on Tuesday.

The researchers found that salbutamol, a popular blue inhaler medicine also known as Ventolin, as well as salmeterol, an ingredient in GlaxoSmithKline’s Advair, are less effective in children with a specific gene variant and may in some cases make their asthma worse.

The scientists said their findings suggest that carrying out genetic tests on children before treatment could be a more cost-effective way of treating them.

“This is a global question that needs to be addressed,” said Somnath Mukhopadhyay of Brighton and Sussex Medical School.

Salbutamol is called albuterol in the United States and is very widely used, the researchers told a news conference.

U.S. drug regulators have cautioned in the past that asthma drugs like Advair and Serevent, also made by Glaxo, may actually increase asthma risk in some patients. Glaxo said in a statement it had carried out its own studies with Advair and Serevent and found no genetic variation response differences, although the 500 patients in its study were older than 12.

“Albuterol is one of the commonest drugs right across the world. It is used in the United States, in Africa, India…” said Mukhopadhyay. “It’s cheap, it’s popular, and it’s good stuff — when it works.”

Asthma affects more than 300 million people worldwide and is the most common children’s chronic illness. Symptoms include wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing and chest tightness.

Cervical cancer vaccine: key questions

Cervical cancer vaccine: key questions

Cervical cancer is malignant neoplasm of the cervix uteri or cervical area. It may present with vaginal bleeding but symptoms may be absent until the cancer is in its advanced stages. Treatment consists of surgery (including local excision) in early stages and chemotherapy and radiotherapy in advanced stages of the disease.

Pap smear screening can identify potentially precancerous changes. Treatment of high grade changes can prevent the development of cancer. In developed countries, the widespread use of cervical screening programs has reduced the incidence of invasive cervical cancer by 50% or more.

The initial post mortem said was “most unlikely” the vaccine was the cause of death. It could have been nothing more than a coincidence, although one scenario that has been presented is she had a very rare severe allegric reaction to the vaccine, known as anaphylaxsis, which can be fatal.

Signs and symptoms

The early stages of cervical cancer may be completely asymptomatic. Vaginal bleeding, contact bleeding or (rarely) a vaginal mass may indicate the presence of malignancy. Also, moderate pain during sexual intercourse and vaginal discharge are symptoms of cervical cancer. In advanced disease, metastases may be present in the abdomen, lungs or elsewhere.

Symptoms of advanced cervical cancer may include: loss of appetite, weight loss, fatigue, pelvic pain, back pain, leg pain, single swollen leg, heavy bleeding from the vagina, leaking of urine or faeces from the vagina, and bone fractures.

Gymnastics Bloopers!

[media id=70 width=500 height=400]

Our next blooper video comes from a sport where the competitors fall quite frequently: gymnastics. Gymnasts put themselves through a lot. I don’t know how they do it, since I fall over just standing up. Those who can’t do a particular sport laugh at others who fall down sometimes when they do.

Here is a great little collection of men’s gymnastics bloopers.  Here’s the videos description from YouTube: these male gymnasts know what is the most embarrassing when you are a gymnast: your blooper was recorded and now everybody can watch you and laught at your mistake!
