For How Long Will You Hold On?

Posted by Alice on April 20th, 2010

The only of the reports about Viagra research in mass media which realistically evaluates one of the most important questions of this preparation effect is “To what extent can Viagra improve the duration of erection?” This report was published in 1996 in the British Urology Magazine. Scientists examined 12 men with erectile dysfunction taking Viagra or placebo in various dosages. During this examination the patients were subjected to “visual erotic stimulation”. The patients were from 36 to 63 of age. The patients taking placebo pills noted that the duration of their erection increased at the average had increased by one minute. Those taking Viagra pill of 25 mg noted that their erection was 8 minutes longer, and of 50 mg – about 11 minutes.

Viagra doesn’t restore erection to the “normal” level. According to the two most important factors characterizing the hardness of the penis at the period of erection and the ability to keep this state the indices of the patients taking Viagra are a bit lower than among those who’ve never suffered from erectile dysfunction. Though Viagra increases the possibility of successful coitus among men with erectile dysfunction, it doesn’t guarantee a hundred-pre-cent success. The patients taking Viagra have about 82 % of sex acts from 100.

Viagra can help nearly 70 % of men suffering from erectile dysfunction. One of the most amazing characteristics of Viagra is that the reason of sexual disorder makes no matter – whether it’s some somatic cause like diabetes, or neurological like spinal injury, or mental disease manifested in depression.

Viagra has best revealed its qualities in those cases when erectile dysfunction was provoked by some psychological problems. Among men with psychogenic erectile dysfunction taking Viagra 70 % of all sex acts were successful, while the same index for the patients taking placebo was 29 %.

The degree of Viagra effectiveness in cases of erectile dysfunction caused by different diseases:

Diagnosis Viagra Placebo
Spinal injury 83% 12%
Hypertension 68% 18%
Diabetes 59% 16%
Radical prostatectomy 43% 15%

Viagra is effective in the case of impotence caused by physiological reasons. Among 68 % of men with erectile dysfunction caused by physiological reasons a considerable improvement was noted at Viagra taking (among men taking placebo the improvement was noted only in 19 % of cases).

The above table offers the results of Viagra effectiveness in the treatment of erectile dysfunction caused by different diseases.

As the research works have shown, Viagra’ action is not so effective upon the patients who had undergone radical prostatectomy in connection with prostate gland cancer than in other cases. This can be easily explained: the medicine can improve blood circulation in the nerves of the sexual sphere, but in those cases when these nerves are absent or interrupted, the effect of Viagra is noticeably lower.

It turned out that Bob Dole, the ex-senator and the presidential candidate of the USA was one of the 110 patients subjected to radical prostatectomy and taking part in the clinical testing of Viagra. Bob Dole mentioned that Viagra is a wonderful medicine. Elizabeth Dole, the president of American of the Red Cross, answering questions at a special news conference in New York repeated the words of her husband: “A wonderful medicine!”

The positive influence of Viagra on the organism isn’t limited to the achievement of more evident and prolonged erection. The survey of the patients having taken Viagra, done before and after the medicine approbation, has shown that Viagra influences some other sides of sexual life. Those who had been taking Viagra noted unusual erection durability, more frequent orgasm, higher level of sexual arousal, and greater pleasure from coitus in general.

It’s interesting that those men who had been taking Viagra and those taking placebo had sexual act with the same frequency – at the average twice a week. Though among the patients taking Viagra the coitus was more successful – they noted the positive result in 66% of cases while in case of taking placebo – the index was about 20%.

It was found out that Viagra has the best effect on those men who had been taking it for the longest period of time. For example, among the patients who had taken part in the longest testing – it lasted for a year – Viagra promoted erection improvement in 88% of cases.

Diabetes. One of the research works of Viagra effect was held among 268 patients with diabetes complications. Those people got Viagra in the dosage of 50 mg, then the dosage grew up to 100 mg, at the end of the course the dosage was lowered to 25 mg. The researchers note erectile function improvement according to the two main criteria (the frequency of successful sex acts and the ability to keep up erection) among the patients taking Viagra in comparison with those taking placebo.

The improvement of sexual function was noted by 57% of the diabetes patients taking Viagra and only 10% of the patients taking placebo. 48% of all sex act were successfully finished (among the patients taking Viagra) while among those taking placebo this index is about 12 %.

Spinal injury. One more research work was held among 178 patients with erectile dysfunction caused by spinal injuries. As well as in the previous case, the results got in case of Viagra taking are quote different from those in case of placebo taking. The frequency and successfulness of coitus in case of the preparation regular taking is definitely higher. Viagra has greatly influenced the quality of erection among 83% of the patients in comparison with 12% of placebo group. According to the records of the participants of the experiment 59% of sexual contacts were successfully finished while among the patients of placebo group only 30 % of sex acts were successful.

Generic pills

Posted by Alice on April 16th, 2010

Wikipedia gives for generic pharmacy the below provided definition: “Generic drug (pl. generic drugs, short: generics) is a medicine which is developed and distributed with no brand name. A generic pharmacy should necessarily include the same active components as the source formulation.

In the general sense, it is referred as bioequivalent to the brand name duplicate with respect to pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties.
By extension, therefore, generics are pretended to be similar in the following factors:

  • Dose
  • Strength
  • route of administration
  • safety
  • efficacy
  • intended use

    • The most crucial reason for the reduced price of generic drugs lies in the creation of the generic drug runs up less cost. Thus this is the main reason that a lower price can be offered.
    Generic pharmacy producers are mainly possible to avoid the below provided three costs that brand name pharmaceutical companies devolve:

  • (1) costs in force with the research and production of the medicine;
  • (2) costs concerning regulatory approval (i.e. proving safety and efficacy of a drug); and
  • (3) marketing price.

    • First, Generic pharmacy manufacturers do not accrue, the price of drug discovery and instead reverse-engineer prevalent brand name medicine to allow them to produce bioequivalent versions.

    Second and also important point is in generic manufacturers free of burden state which provides safety and effectiveness of the drugs via clinical trials – moreover, generic drug producers should prove the generic medicine’s bioequivalancy to the current drug.

    Third, these companies acquire sufficient benefit of the marketing as well as advertising which goes into pushing the rationalizer medicine.

    The brand name drug intends to prove itself in the eyes of the consumer, as to the generic ones they do not have such a task.

    The drugs that are sold by generic producers have been on the market for approximately a decade or even more, thus from this viewpoint no additional advertising or promotion is needed. For the same reason, generic manufacturers are not involved in producing sample doses for their product promotion.

    A crucial research, manufacturing and marketing prices incurred by sufficient and recognized pharmaceutical companies in introducing a new medicine to the market is generally cited as the matter for quite high prices of new appeared agents who intends to recover the above – mentioned costs before the patent expiration.

    Generic pharmacy producers do not incur the mentioned prices, with bioequivalence testing and producing prices relatively little, this provides with possibility to charge meaningly at a less extent than the brand.

    The pills we represent on the website are manufactured by (country) drug production companies. For providing more complete and full service, the orders are sent out immediately by our drug producer company.

    Generally it will take nearly two weeks for an order delivery totally to the selected location thus there are certain cases when you should give the order up to three weeks to arrive.

Let not reefer to morality, besides this article is dedicated to quite another thing; let’s try to clear the question of the combined taking Viagra and alcohol.

    Men with poor potency or erectile dysfunction of different types have some need in taking Viagra before coitus. Correspondingly, there appears a reasonable question about Viagra and alcohol compatibility, so let’s consider it more closely.

    It’s possible to state with confidence that the combined taking Viagra and alcohol won’t lead to any global problems; at least such cases weren’t registered in the world medicine. At the same time you should take into account that no full-fledged large-scale research work was registered. Besides, it’s necessary to have in mind that alcohol itself influences man’s erection badly oppressing the central nervous system. So the best and the most reasonable decision is to abstain from alcohol if coitus is being planned.

    Scientists Have Offered Another Panacea for Cancer

    Posted by David on February 15th, 2010

    American scientists have offered another panacea from cancer – an implant with the vaccine applied to a biodegrading disk.

    A group of researches from Harvard University under the direction of Dr. David Muni have constructed the likeness of a cell made from biodegrading polymer in which some “practice” lab consisting of porous polymeric matrix 90 % of which is occupied by air. The scientists applied cytokines (signal molecules) to it attracting special immune cells called dendritic.

    Further according to the plan of Muni’s group is placed under the skin, while cytokines gradually penetrates into the ambient space creating the spectrum of concentration following which as a trace other dendritic cells get to the place of intrusion. In the tablets they find small fragments of genetic material similar to the DNA of bacteria. By them the dendritic bacteria detect that the invasion of aliens takes place. For the cell to know what to attack the fragments of the patient’s neoplasm are applied to the polymer. On their way back to the lymph nodes the dendritic cells seize all the molecules to transform the information to the T- lymphocytes and form the corresponding immune answer. The moment the implant gets inside the body the immune system finds out the dangerous material and starts it destruction. After that analogous “struggle” takes place in the whole organism.

    The studies have shown that the application of the vaccine-implant allowed lowering the growth of neoplasms and raising the survival rate among mice with melanoma.

    British Doctors Have Been First to Practice Ultrasound Successfully in Cancer Removal

    Posted by David on February 6th, 2010

    In Britain they have carried out the first operation on cancer destruction with the help of ultrasound. “Irving Standard” has reported about this fact. The doctors of London Hammersmith Hospital removed part of neoplasm from the patient suffering from rectal cancer of advanced stage.

    According to medical assessment, the patient had tried all the possible therapy types, and palliative treatment was intended on the next stage. But they think that the carried operation can help to moderate the side effects of the neoplasm.

    The method consists in point application of intensive ultrasound. Aimed at the neoplasm the high-frequency waves cause the heating of the affected area up to 80 – 90 C0 in 2 – 3 seconds which leads to its effective destruction. The use of this technique is now restricted by the parameters of neoplasm. It doesn’t suit in case of large and brain tumors.

    Further development of this approach can help to cure people from a number of oncological diseases without resorting to the help of invasive surgery, chemo- and radiotherapy. Focused ultrasound is able to affect neoplasms quicker and more exactly than the modern widespread methods of medical intervention. At the same time the tissues not affected have minimal harm.

    Medics Debunked the Myth about the Safety of Hookah Smoking

    Posted by David on February 1st, 2010

    Hookah smoking is as dangerous for your health as cigarette smoking provoking harmful effect of poisonous substances including carbon monoxide and nicotine, as the scientists from Virginia University and American University in Beirut (Lebanon).

    Hookah, as well as tobacco may lead to heart diseases and nicotine addiction, affirm the specialists. During the last 8 – 10 years the popularity of hookah in western countries has raised greatly, especially among the youths from 18 to 24. The majority of young people are sure that hookah contains less nicotine and gums than tobacco, so has no obvious dangerous effects. Medics have found exact scientific results contradicting the myth about the safety of hookah smoking: according to the results of their studies, hookah smoke contains the same harmful chemicals as cigarettes do, and raises the risk of cardiovascular dysfunction and development of nicotine addiction.

    During a two-year period the doctors have been observing hookah smokers in Lebanon aged from 18 to 50. Each volunteer was smoking tobacco for 45 minutes, first with the help of hookah, then he had to smoke one cigarette. The levels of nicotine and carbon monoxide in the participants’ blood were immediately measured, and cardiac rhythm was fixed. It turned out that the concentration of carbon monoxide during hookah smoking was three time higher in comparison with one smoked cigarette. The peak levels of nicotine were the same both in case of hookah and cigarette smoking. Analyzing the quantity and amount of each draw, smoke inhalation is 48 times higher during hookah smoking in comparison with cigarettes. Besides, hookah smoke contains substances promoting the development of cancer and other dangerous diseases, as the medics warn.

    Scientists Proved the Effectiveness of Marijuana in Case of Multiple Sclerosis

    Posted by David on January 26th, 2010

    American scientists proved that the extracts of marijuana effectively oppress the symptoms of multiple sclerosis and, as a result, can be used for the treatment of this desease, the Psych Org reports.

    Meta-analysis of randomized placebo-controlled researches by the scientists from Los Angeles Global Neuroscience Initiative Foundation (GNIF) showed that five from six researches testify to the lowering of spasticity and increase in range of motions among the patient suffering from MS if they take the extracts of redroot (Cannabis sativa).

    Active substances of the extracts were elta9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD).

    Spasticity - an involuntary increase in muscle tone or rapid muscle contractions – is one of the more common and distressing symptoms of MS. The existing methods of spasticity reducing are difficult to obtain, cause serious side effects, and ineffective.

    Meta-analysis has shown that the quantity of appearance of side effects due to marijuana extracts taking connected with cannabinoids affect psychic widely varies depending on the dosage. But according to the results of the studies, similar effects were observed during placebo taking.

    One of the authors of the research, Shaheen Lakhan, commented on the received data the following way: “The therapeutic potential of cannabinoids in MS appears to be comprehensive, and should be given considerable attention”.

    The results of the study are published in the scientific magazine “BMC Neurology”.
