Vaccinations Reduce Spread of Pertussis, aka Whooping Cough

Looking back at the history of pertussis, outbreaks were first described as early as the 16th century. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that in the 20th century, pertussis was one of the most common childhood diseases. In the United States, it was a major cause of childhood mortality. After a vaccine for pertussis was developed, incidence of the disease dropped more than 80 percent.

Family Health: Ensure results of tests accurate

You’ve just visited your health care provider and the next step is to “get some tests.” Tests are selected from a very large menu in diagnostic areas such as laboratory, imaging, cardiology and pulmonary function. The determination of which tests are necessary is made based on the reason for the visit, varying from a general health check to having very specific symptoms.

Mnemonic device simplifies medical, mental worries

Terrified to go to the doctor or hospital? Are you anxious about those checkups, a possible new diagnosis or being labeled crazy, or do you have a fear of needles or think you might get bad news? Is it time for you to get that physical or mental ouch taken care of, but you’re afraid?
