一篇有關健康年長者的研究發現，與飲食中營養較少者相比，飲食富含多種維他命或omega-3脂肪酸者有較好的認知功能，較少阿茲海默氏症的腦萎縮。

有生殖器疱疹的人們即使正在服用防止疱疹發作的抗疱疹藥物，沒有爆發疱疹病毒，但仍然可能傳染給他們的性伴侶。

進入app store裡面，琳琅滿目的相機軟體，到底該怎麼選呢？

沒錯，我也很困擾，因為內建的相機實在有點陽春，雖然已經在ios5進步了一些，但是還是不符合台灣人的需求，至少是我的需求

所以現在就來比較一下吧：

之前其實也有簡單跟各位提過了：胃輕癱(gastroparesis)

也許你認識臨床藥師，也許你不認識，或是妳認識的是離職的臨床藥師，

不然妳可以先看一下這一篇：請問你，你認識你的藥師嗎？

或這邊：當藥師最重要的事情是什麼？

不過今天，我要講的，是臨床藥師的隱藏功能

Do you have a bunch of “don’t eats” in your resolution package this year? I sure hope not — how depressing! Nothing sets you on the course to Failuresville like stating “I won’t ever eat that”. Forget about it. And why would you forgo anything unless there was a good sound reason to do so? Besides, “adding in” healthy food is so much more enjoyable and beneficial to your health than “giving up” supposed bad foods, and it’s more likely to be a sustainable behavior that you can live with.

根據線上發表於12月22日Lancet期刊的報告，照顧腹腔鏡可調節胃束帶手術(lap bands)患者的醫師仍應留意後期的併發症。

根據線上發表於12月21日身體醫學&復健學誌的隨機控制試驗，全膝關節置換術(TKA)後6天開始水中治療者，與術後14天開始治療者相比，病患表示可改善結果；相對的，全髖關節置換術(THA)者等到術後14天開始治療者效果比較好。

一篇新研究認為，血清樣本中發現一種分子標記可以預測發生阿茲海默氏症，而且是在出現初次症狀前即可得知。

事非經過不知難，因為這次買itunes gift card時發生狀況，才知道原來應該如何跟蘋果聯絡

Pregnancy, delivery, and motherhood can be exciting, overwhelming -- and painful. As you focus your attention and energy on your new baby, it's important not to neglect yourself. Knowing how to care for problems like foot blisters, cesarean section incisions, sore breasts, cracked nipples, and other unexpected pains can make this exciting time in your life a little less painful.

今年的第一天寫這一篇很奇怪，尤其是在我已經鮮少更新部落格的現在寫這篇更奇怪，不過儘管如此，我還是想要讓一些我的忠實讀者多了解一點我當初成立這部落格的初衷。

去年的這時候，我寫下了總結，不過不是針對藥師的工作，是針對生活上的改變

If women didn’t already have enough reasons to quit smoking before pregnancy, here’s a big one: Smoking during pregnancy may set their child up for blood vessel damage, a new study shows.

Dutch scientists enrolled more than 250 children. When the children were 4 weeks old, their body dimensions and lung function were measured. At the same time, their parents completed questionnaires about such factors as smoking during pregnancy.

When the children were 5, the researchers used ultrasound to measure the thickness and flexibility of their carotid arteries, large blood vessels in the neck that supply blood to the brain. They also collected updated smoking information from their parents.

The walls of the carotid arteries in 5-year-olds whose mothers had smoked throughout pregnancy were about 19 microns thicker -- about one to two times the thickness of a piece of cassette tape -- and 15% stiffer than those whose mothers had not smoked.

If both parents smoked while they were in the womb, the children’s carotid arteries were nearly 28 microns thicker and 21% stiffer than those of children whose parents didn’t smoke during pregnancy. These changes may indicate damage to blood vessels that may affect their function, the study authors suggest.

有兩篇研究發現，維生素D可預防心臟病或癌症的證據很少。

根據丹麥研究者線上發表於12月19日Gut期刊的大型長期研究，子宮內膜異位和發生發炎性腸道疾病(IBD)風險增加有關。

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis accounts for approximately 20% of cases of the nephrotic syndrome in children and 40% of such cases in adults, with an estimated incidence of 7 per 1 million.

新研究發現，懷孕時使用吸入型腎上腺糖皮質素，不會增加孩童大部分疾病的風險，但是會增加內分泌和代謝異常的風險。這些結果線上刊載於12月16日的美國呼吸道與重症醫學期刊。
　　
　　與懷孕期間未使用吸入型腎上腺糖皮質素者之子代相比，在懷孕期間使用吸入型腎上腺糖皮質素之丹麥婦女的子代中，孩童時期的內分泌和代謝異常風險顯著增加(風險比1.84；95% 信心區間1.13 - 2.99)，但其他類別疾病則無；疾病分類是根據國際疾病分類第10版。
　　
　　瑞士Basel大學心理系教授Marion Tegethoff博士等人寫道，就我們所知，這是首度比較懷孕時使用吸入型腎上腺糖皮質素對子代健康之可能影響的綜合研究，研究範圍涵蓋了大部分的兒科疾病。
