Otitis Media (ear infection)
In simple terms, otitis media is an ear infection. It is inflammation of the inner ear, often caused by moisture which gets collected in the ear or by minor injury to the ear canal. The moisture often collects after swimming or bathing. Often allergies cause liquid to build up in the ear. Injuries often occur with hard impact with water or careless or intense use of cotton swabs. Discomfort, bacterial growth, or infection generally results.Behind the eardrums is located the section of the ear called the middle ear, which houses a complex arrangement of tiny bones sensitive to sound waves. When sound waves pass over the middle ear, it transmits the sound to the inner ear. Nearby, the Eustachian tube...
Can We Go Back in Time in Our Own Genes?
BioTech is moving fast, eventually we will have computers, which will monitor our health and talk to our cells, even give them instructions and ask them to do diagnostic work. Similar to the way the dealership plugs into your cars electronic brain and sensors. What else will we find as this technology gets more and more advanced?About five years ago, I had a thought on communicating with the cells thru light to go back in the memory of the potentially encoded DNA-RNA in your own body and picking up life experience highlights of your ancestors before procreation of the next generations.Kind of like picking up the imprinted memories caused by chemicals and enzymes in the brain of their lives.

CRM and Customer Life Cycle
Customer Relationship Management or CRM is a combination of enterprise strategies, business processes and information technologies used to learn more about customers' needs and behaviors in order to develop stronger relationships with them. CRM software systems automate many customer-related business tasks.CRM applications are traditionally developed as client-server software which incurs higher initial cost of ownership. The proliferation of the Internet and the Web has fueled the rapid growth of Web-based CRM or online CRM applications. Web CRM systems are widely deployed for web based call center, contact management, trouble ticket, personal information manager and scheduling.The life cycle...
BusinessWeek expects avian flu vaccine stockpiling by government officials will help the Sanofi-Pasteur company on behalf of Sanofi-Aventis and Chiron. "Tamiflu," it reported is an antiviral manufactured by Roche, . . . considered effective against avian flu. . . . The U.S. owns enough for 4.3 million people, with more on order." BusinessWeek failed to report: 1) Tamiflu's safety and effectiveness has not been determined in people with other chronic medical conditions--a significant percentage of the U.S. population-- and common side effects of this drug include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bronchitis, stomach pain, dizziness, headaches, and much, much more; 2) Roche (Hoffman-LaRoche) was found...
The Basics of a Criminal Justice Degree
Following the tragic events of 9/11 there is today a much greater awareness throughout society about such issues as homeland security, airport security, public safety and management, international terrorism, criminology and criminal psychology and many other related subjects. Interestingly these are all subjects you can major in or obtain specializations in through degrees in criminal justice/criminology. And more interestingly, such a degree in criminal justice/criminology can get you a job a lot more easily than a degree in a number of other subjects. This is because the US Bureau of Labor Statistics has identified careers in criminal justice as one of the top five careers in the coming years in...
Mitsubishi Lancer, 2007: The Weekly Driver
In recent years, Mitsubishi has touted its sports cars with a series of overproduced television commercials. In one spot, several pretty young women are singing and smiling and zipping around under flashing city lights and through tunnels somehow equipped with multicolored lasers.The women seemingly don't have a care in the world. They're on the town. They're having a grand time. They're driving really fast and techno-pop tunes are blaring.Combine that group with young male drivers with the same wont to go fast and a likely desire to catch-up to their female counterparts somewhere at the end of the tunnel and you've got a captive audience ready and willing to buy Mitsubishi's speed demon, the Lancer...
If You're a Struggling Scientist, a Shortcut to a Lucrative Career in Patent Law Awaits You
An article at CNN lists academic research scientists as one of the top three "Big jobs that pay badly". The article states that this career track has "one of the most disproportionate ratios of training to pay".I believe it.As a one-time research scientist myself, I experienced the low pay first-hand. In all honesty, it was barely enough to support my modest living needs, let alone a family. I found myself in the uncomfortable position of actually making less than a full-time waitress. This was with my Master's degree in Molecular Biology working at a prestigious academic institute.And as much as I'd like to say it gets better with more education, I can't. Unfortunately, the salary and job...

Stemming of the Stem Cell
For the first time in his presidency, President George W Bush made a historic veto last July 19th killing the hopes of further development in the stem cell technology. The terminated bill was aimed at lifting the ban on federal funding of embryonic stem cell research which President Bush himself imposed in 2001.The Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act was unanimously voted by both the Senate and the House of Representatives, but both chambers fell short of the needed two thirds vote that would have overturned Bush's veto power. With an argument on grounds of social morals, the veto from the president was somehow already been expected. Bush has always been vocal in his stand against embryonic stem cell...

Marital Clashes Can Slow Body's Healing Process
Marital arguments can leave a husband and wife feeling emotionally wounded, but that's not all. Scientists have discovered that the stress of a typical 30-minute tiff can prevent physical wounds from healing by at least one day. Moreover, couples whose relationships are generally hostile may suffer longer delays in the healing process -- even twice as long. This finding, published in the Archives of General Psychiatry, could have major financial implications for medical centers and healthcare insurers. The latest research is part of a thirty-year series of experiments underway at the Ohio State University's Institute for Behavioral Medicine Research. The work is aimed at identifying and then...

Depression Treatment Does It Make Sense?
Does depression treatment make sense? If you ever suffered from depression as a patient or had to deal with depression as someone close to a patient having this mental illness, you most certainly will have had doubts like this in your mind or will have had arguments about this question. It seems that many depression sufferers, especially if they have been hit by this illness recently, have serious doubts about the effectiveness of depression medication. In many cases they can recall stories from patients who did not have success in treating depression via one depression treatment method or another. There are two common misconceptions about depression treatment and modern medicine in general that may...

The Outsourcing History of India
The outsourcing history of India is one of phenomenal growth in a very short span of time. The idea of outsourcing has its roots in the 'competitive advantage' theory propagated by Adam Smith in his book 'The Wealth of Nations' which was published in 1776. Over the years, the meaning of the term 'outsourcing' has undergone a sea-change. What started off as the shifting of manufacturing to countries providing cheap labour during the Industrial Revolution, has taken on a new connotation in today's scenario. In a world where IT has become the backbone of businesses worldwide, 'outsourcing' is the process through which one company hands over part of its work to another company, making it responsible for...
The High Cost of Employee Turnover Among Project Managers
Imagine for a moment this scenario from a frustrated Senior Manager of a large pharmaceutical organization: "Our organization has experienced a large turnover among project managers in the past year. This creates problems providing ongoing quality and service to our stakeholders. We just don't know what is causing the problem!" Sound familiar? Well you're not alone. I remember that filmmaker Woody Allen once said that "80% of success is showing up." However, the greater challenge is finding ways to keep people there.Employee turnover is simply a fact of life in the business world. The days when employees would stay and grow with a company for the duration of their working life are gone...
Starting a Career in Nursing
Midlife career changes are nothing new. If you're looking for a field with abundant opportunity and if you enjoy caring for others, nursing might be right for you.

Viral Infection Remedy That Really Work
Viruses are extremely tiny- much smaller than bacteria. They invade individual cells and turn them into tiny factories to make more viruses. The pharmaceutical community has developed antibiotic after antibiotic to target an ever-growing group of bacterial pathogen, yet few medicines today work on viral infections. Health-care practitioners have little ammunition when it comes to viruses. Viral diseases include colds and flu, chicken pox, hepatitis, measles, herpes, viral pneumonia, shingles, Epstein Barr virus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), AIDS, and numerous others. That are also a host of intestinal viruses that cause diarrhea and other life-threatening symptoms. Viruses cause serious health...

The Reality of the Drought Section I of a VI Part Series; May 2002, Part II
In continuation of Part II let us look at state-owned reservoirs, DNRC, FL and Maryland Drought issues.State-owned reservoirs on June 1 held only 88 percent of the water typical for that date. This is not as bad as it sounds however this is two month old data and levels which get no rain only go down as the melting snow was so light that most just soaked into the ground with little runoff. Not good. The state Department of Natural Resources and Conservation said the dry conditions are a bad sign for wildfires. now, they are all forecasting a real active fire season, Many other states -- including Florida, Colorado and New Mexico -- have already experienced active fire seasons this year because of...
The Search For A Common Cold Cure Continues
Despite a large number of "cold cures" the American Medical Society consensus is that there is no "official" cure for the cold; that most colds seem to last about one week; but that some colds clear up rather quickly, within 24 hours or so, without running the full, longer course. In the spring of 1960, a University of Illinois team disclosed that it had made thousands of tests on 2,500 volunteer subjects with no indication that there is a preventive or a cure for the common cold. At least 70 viruses are reported to cause any of the conditions extending from the simple cold of runny nose and mild discomforts to influenza. As a matter of fact, researchers point out that there is no such thing as the...
