RSV Treatment

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, progressive autoimmune disease that can affect the hip joint. It can cause pain, stiffness, and restricted movement in one or both hips. A person may experience hip pain on both sides of the body. In this article, we look at how RA affects the hip. We also discuss its causes and symptoms and outline treatment options for managing the condition. RA is a type of inflammatory arthritis, which occurs when an overactive immune system attacks healthy tissue in the body. The hip joint consists of a ball and socket. The acetabulum, which is part of the pelvis bone, forms the socket. The femoral head, which is the top part of the thighbone, forms the ball. A tissue called articular cartilage covers the surfaces of the ball and socket. This cartilage provides a smooth, slippery surface to allow the bones to move easily. The hip joint also has a thin, protective covering called synovium. The synovium releases a lubricating fluid th...

Pneumonia is a tough illness to endure. Some people are lucky enough to recover from pneumonia within a week, while others will battle pneumonia for a month or longer. Fighting pneumonia can take a lot out of you, especially if your recovery is taking longer.  While no home treatment will provide a magical overnight cure for pneumonia, there are plenty of ways to help ease the discomfort and potentially speed up the recovery process. One of the most significant factors to consider when caring for pneumonia at home is breaking down mucus. In many ways, coping with mucus production will help you manage your pneumonia overall.  Westend61 / Getty Images Dehydration One of the most important things you can do to provide relief and recover from pneumonia is staying hydrated.

C ertain patients with an aggressive form of ovarian cancer have a better chance of a cure through surgical removal of the tumor before chemotherapy instead of the reverse, a new study shows. Led by researchers at NYU Langone's Perlmutter Cancer Center and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, the study used a mathematical tool to examine how doctors should coordinate available treatments for high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC). Ovarian cancer is the eighth most common cancer and a major cause of cancer death in women worldwide, and HGSC constitutes roughly 70 percent of ovarian malignancies and has the worst prognosis. Patients with the condition typically have surgery and chemotherapy, but there has been long-standing controversy over the best order of treatment. Published online June 14 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , the new analysis argues that patients who can have "complete debulking" surgery first, with chemotherapy added after (termed prima...
