Sinusitis
More than 33 million Americans suffer from chronic sinusitis (sinus infections). These infections are more common in chronic allergy sufferers.
Pediatric Care
An experimental nasal spray flu vaccine protected young children against an influenza strain not covered by the vaccine, according to results from the second year of a study supported by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the vaccine manufacturer. Details appear in the February issue of the Journal of Pediatrics.
Ear Infections
Of the 71 cases of influenza seen in the study children, 66 were caused by A/Sydney. Only 15 of the A/Sydney cases occurred among the 917 children who got FluMist. These 15 children had significantly milder disease symptoms--shorter duration of fever, fewer cases of influenza-related middle-ear infections, and no lower respiratory tract disease than did 51 placebo recipients who developed A/Sydney flu. All five cases of non-A/Sydney flu occurred among the 441 children in the placebo group.
Emergency Care
Our nurses come from a variety of medical backgrounds and experience. All of them are Registered Nurses and most of them have previous experience working in a hospital setting, including the emergency room, the neonatal intensive care unit, the orthopedics department, and other hospital divisions. They all take great pride in offering compassionate and advanced medical care to our patients.
Infectious Diseases
NIAID has supported the development of this cold-adapted live virus influenza vaccine concept for nearly 25 years. Early work by researchers in NIAID's Laboratory of Infectious Diseases and their colleagues at the University of Michigan paved the way. They developed weakened influenza viruses that could stimulate immunity in the cooler nasal passages but could not cause disease in the warmer temperatures of the lower airways. Simpler versions of FluMist were tested by NIAID-supported researchers in smaller trials. Then in 1995, Aviron entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with NIAID for development of an advanced version of the vaccine into a commercial product.
Immunizations
The double-blind, placebo-controlled trial enrolled 1,358 children between 2 and 7 years old. These children had entered the vaccine study during the 1996-97 flu season and returned for a single revaccination during the 1997-98 flu season. Each participant received either the nasal spray vaccine, FluMist, or placebo, matching what they had received the previous year. Those who got FluMist experienced no serious side effects related to vaccination.

Mental Health
The term “individually identifiable health information” means health information (whether oral or recorded in any form or medium), including demographic information collected from you, that identifies you, or could reasonably be used to identify you and which: is created or received by a health care provider, health plan, public health authority, employer, life insurer, school or university, or health care clearinghouse; and, relates to your past, present, or future physical or mental health or condition, the provision of health care to you, or the past, present, or future payment for the provision of health care to you.

Endocrinologist

Thyroid
In most patients with chronic hives, no allergy trigger is found. Despite the mystery, it remains worthwhile to see a physician to rule out any potential underlying conditions that can be associated with hives such as thyroid disease, liver disease, skin disease, infections, sinusitis, or an actual allergy. To assist with a diagnosis and treatment, the allergist may choose to perform necessary tests such as allergy testing, blood testing, and skin biopsy. But the fact remains, in about 35% of chronic hives cases, the hives are “idiopathic” or of unknown cause. In about half of patients with chronic idiopathic hives, the explanation is that the body’s immune system is attacking the normal tissue of the body and causing inflammation. This is also known as an “autoimmune” phenomenon.
