RSV Treatment

It is paradoxical that, while there is ample evidence that globalization and capitalism have helped destroy poverty in the world, trust in brands and companies is on the ground. Many citizens look at them with skepticism and as a cause of their problems, not as part of the solution. For example, the Edelman Trust Barometer shows us only a 56 index of citizens thinking that businesses do what is right. But in some countries, trust indexes for the mass population are even lower. In Russia, the index is 30. In the U.K. it is 42, and in Spain, it is 45. The U.S. has a 47 trust index. David Brooks, writing for  The Atlantic , argues that "social trust is a measure of the moral quality of a society." In businesses, social trust translates into a good brand positioning and a potentially healthy customer relationship. Thus, it is a measure of your brand quality. But social trust was not an ingredient most marketers did care about until recently. Instead, marketers have...

Although physicians might hope that there are no glass ceilings in medicine, recent evidence proves that to be untrue. In academic settings, women are under-represented in faculty positions, making up just 41% of that workforce, although their numbers have been on the rise since approximately 2019. 1 Even when women gain employment in academic medical centers, they aren't always given equal opportunities for advancement. In fact, results from 1 study concluded that physicians identifying as women were less likely than their counterparts who identified as men to be promoted to associate or full professorships, or to department chair positions. Despite the fact that this review spanned a 35-year period, no evidence of this gap narrowing was observed at any point in the study. 2 Yet during the same period, more women had been given employment opportunities. This advancement gap serves to widen pay inequities between the sexes, particularly in the field of inte...

As the weather dives into lower temps, we enter yet another cold and flu season. It's the time of year when the chances of "coming down with something" increase. If you do end up with either a cold or the flu, you can take a proactive approach to support your body in recovering as fast as possible. Though there's currently no cure for the common cold or flu, simply letting your sickness run its roughly 10-day course isn't the only option. For starters, getting your flu shot can go a long way toward prevention. On top of that, you can boost your immunity even more to potentially prevent catching something in the first place. If you do end up getting sick, there are ways to help reduce symptom severity and speed you toward recovery. One way to do that is with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) remedies that may stimulate your body's natural healing capabilities. TCM is a type of traditional medicine system that originated in China. It involves a comprehensive to...

Health "This year is quite different — we are seeing more children with RSV right now than usual...and they are more severely affected." Local doctors are concerned about increasing cases of a common respiratory illness largely affecting children. Though COVID-19 precautions nearly eradicated it last winter, in its typical season, it's come back with a vengeance since masking and distancing have laxed.  Respiratory Syncytial Virus, or RSV, is a remarkably common virus — nearly every child catches it before the age of two — it just doesn't impact everyone the same way. As we've learned on a mass level with COVID-19, RSV tends to cause severe illness in more vulnerable groups, like newborns and premature or immunodeficient infants, and just a common cold in others.

Young children with sickle cell disease generally report worse metrics for health-related quality of life (QoL) than those without the hematologic disease, according to new findings from an Amsterdam-based study. New cross-sectional data analysis from the Erasmus University Medical Centers and Emma Children's Hospital in The Netherlands suggest children may begin to experience QoL burdens due to sickle cell disease once they've reached age 5 and beyond. The investigators stressed the significance of timely sickle disease diagnosis in young children, as this may help to better prepare clinicians in addressing burdensome effects and symptoms of the disease in their youngest patients. Led by Maite E. Houwing, MD, investigators sought to better interpret the health-related QoL of young children living with sickle cell disease in their country. There are approximately 1500 cases of sickle cell disease in The Netherlands—half of which are in children. Though clinical advances in Euro...
