Jamaica Gleaner Profiles in Medicine
published: Wednesday | August 20, 2003

PAINKILLERS LINKED TO MISCARRIAGES
SOME OF the common over-the-counter painkillers have been linked by California researchers to miscarriages. The risky painkillers were identified as the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen and aspirins.

Premedication can protect weak hearts
DENTAL SURGEONS require each new patient to complete a medical history form. This form should be updated during regular visits.


How to deal with loss and grief
After 30 years of marriage, Bill announced that he was leaving. The end of a marriage and the loss of her husband were too much. Martha was devastated. Richard was dumbstruck.


All about portion control
PERSONS ARE always asking if a specific food is healthy or another is fattening. We have been looking at how proper food combining can enhance the health-giving potential of food even if by themselves they seem devoid of nutrients.


Medicine on patches
AN INCREASING number of persons are wearing skin patches that contain medicine to treat illnesses ranging from vomiting to high blood pressure. Most recently, a contraceptive patch as well as one to deliver nutrients were announced.


Put your skin on a diet!
HEALTHY EATING habits are necessary not only for general good health but also for healthy skin. All the nutrients play a role in maintaining healthy skin.


Exercise alone is not the answer
VERY OFTEN, people exercise vigorously with the intention of losing pounds, but when it comes to the diet they miss the picture.
