Reducing asthma medicine can be done safely with guidance

PHOENIX — Stepping down asthma medicines can be done safely and at a lower cost for patients, says a new Mayo Clinic study published recently in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
It is common for patients and doctors to test if taking less daily asthma medicine is safe — primarily because of the high cost of asthma medicine. However, deciding when to reduce daily asthma medicines can be challenging, and it would be helpful to understand the risks involved.

The study, led by Dr. Matthew Rank, an allergy and immunology specialist at Mayo Clinic in Arizona, analyzed asthma outcomes after patients stepped down their daily asthma medicines. The team studied more than 4,000 patients (adults and children) who were taking daily asthma medicines and focused their analysis on two groups: Patients who had stable asthma for at least one year who stayed on their same daily asthma medicine and patients who had stable asthma for at least one year who stepped down their daily asthma medicine.

Stepping down asthma medicines in patients who have had stable asthma for at least one year appears to be as safe as continuing the same level of medicines, the study found. Only 11 percent of patients had problems with their asthma in the four to five months after stepping down their asthma medicines.
"Trying to reduce the daily asthma medicine speaks to the principle of using the least amount of medicine to control symptoms and prevent attacks," Rank said.

DIRTIEST PART OF THE HUMAN BODY AND HOW TO CLEAN IT

It is fundamentally important to maintain personal hygiene so that you can obtain optimal health. Every human being comes in touch with microorganism and bacteria every single day.
They can be transmitted through skin to skin touch, through hair or clothes and they can be extremely dangerous for the person’s health.
You can shake someone’s hand, you can touch the elevator buttons, or the door knob in your workplace, and all of these are a rich source of bacteria that stick to your skin.


Despite the fact that taking showers regularly cleans your body away from germs, microbes and bacteria that can attach to it, there is still one part of the body which is not easily accessible.
This is the place that cannot be cleaned just by taking a shower since it stays filthy afterwards.
We are talking about the navel, also known as the belly button. This place is the dirtiest part of your body and it is a rich source of bacteria and germs.
The indrawn shape of the navel makes it possible for it to collect all the dirt, dead skin cells, sweat, clothes fibers, soap and lotion.
And they are not going anywhere just by washing them. Instead, they make a perfect environment for microorganisms to develop and cause numerous infections.

These can do a lot of harm to your health and they can also have strong and unpleasant odor.
There are two types of navel, indrawn and protruding. A research has shown that if your navel is naturally indrawn it is prone to collect up to 65-70 different types of bacteria, despite the fact that you maintain good hygiene and take regular showers.
For that reason, below are some instructions of how to clean your navel the right way and reduce the proliferation of bacteria.
