The document discusses research showing that smoking may help prevent canker sores. It notes that smokers and those who use smokeless tobacco or nicotine tablets get canker sores less frequently than non-smokers. Some patients reported getting canker sores after quitting smoking but saw them reduce again when they restarted smoking. While taking up smoking is not recommended, the document wonders if nicotine itself may help control canker sores and what chemical property it has that impacts canker sore formation.

In my 35 years of having canker sores, I’ve tried just about everything to relieve the pain and reduce the number. All of which I’ll be discussing on the blog, but there are a lot of ideas out there that I haven’t tried, and part of keeping my journal and this blog is all about finding what works and doesn’t work. So I’ll give them all a try and let you know how they work for me. Consider me the “Consumer Reports” of ulcers.
Along with being a lifelong connoisseur of RAS, I also have the pleasure of being wrapped in a layer of skin that does not respond favorably to the sun. That’s a more eloquent way of saying that I’m a lily-assed white guy.
As I look around the internet for blogs, articles, and whatnot about this subject, I keep running into treatments. A plethora of seemingly crazy things to do to minimize the pain of these ulcers and keep them from forming.
I may be the perfect person to be writing this blog and doing this project because I get canker sores on such a regular basis. Some people are lucky enough to only get them every once in a while, I’ve had them pretty much constantly throughout my life. So when it comes to experimenting and testing different products and treatments, I don’t have to wait for months to move to a new one and get results. I can go directly from one to another.
There’s no shortage of products out there to help out the canker sore sufferer (even if there is a dearth of canker sore blogs). But some work better than others, and some are right for different kinds of breakouts. Here are my top 5:
The directions for Debacterol suggested applying it at the first sign of an ulcer. I chose to ignore that the first time I used it because any medicine worth a darn will work better when the ulcer first gets started. So when I had a spot start up on my tongue, I let it grow for a couple of days before I gave it a try.
Your digestion shuts down. Higher level brain functions shut down. All kinds of hormonal and regulatory functions grind to a halt so your body can put every ounce of its energy toward the single important issue at hand – surviving an attack. And included in those hormonal and regulatory functions is the immune system.
I’ve been saying it over and over on this website. It’s practically my personal mantra at this point. In fact, if there was one single myth I want to bust more than any other with this website, it’s this one.
I honestly don’t know how one would even apply it there unless you were hanging upside down. I’d highly suggest to the Canker-Rid people that they include an applicator of some type like Kanka or consider a solution that makes it more gel-like so you can apply it with a Q-Tip. As it stands right now, applying it from a Q-Tip does nothing because it soaks into the cotton and doesn’t coat the ulcer.
Get more Comport and Less Swelling with Kenalogclairewilson001
I generally use TA (as I call it, for obvious reasons) at night when I go to bed. I find that the inflammation is significantly less the next morning, whereas it seems to be worse without any medicine. The swelling does eventually come back through the next day with the regular irritation and the medicine wearing off. I’ve never used it throughout the day because it doesn’t stick to the ulcer as well as, say Orabase, and it being prescription and all, costs quite a bit more so I tend to be more economical and only use it at night.
5 Simple Things you can do Right now to have Fewer Canker Sores in 2012clairewilson001
So we’re a few weeks into 2012 and most of us are still holding on to the last vestiges of optimism that this year’s going to be better than last year. We’ve probably already broken a resolution or two, but that’s okay, because this year just has to be better, right?
Why Orabase May Be The Greatest Thing Ever Created For Canker Soresclairewilson001
In conclusion, I have to admit that there are other medicines that numb the pain more. Some that stick to the sore better, and some that heal it faster. But when it comes to the overall combination of ease and effectiveness of use, none quite reach your heights.
Vitamin b12 for canker sores – almost too good to be trueclairewilson001
Which should frankly come as no surprise. Many studies over the years have confirmed B12’s effect on canker sores, the most recent of which came from the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel in 2009. In that doubleblind study, 74% of participants had a complete remission of canker sores after 6 months.
I live in the U.S., and along with that, I can only use mouth ulcer medicine that’s available in the U.S. But, it turns out that I am also a bit of a mouth ulcer medicine researcher, so in my research, I have learned about canker sore medicines that are not available in the U.S., but in many cases, are very popular overseas (and in other cases, are available without a prescription, unlike here).
New Canker Sores Product - Canker Sores Begone Stickclairewilson001
Somewhere around 6 months ago or so, I was contacted by Robin Barr, the creator of Canker Sores Begone, who told me of a new product she was working on and asked if I’d like to try it.
If you or your partner have a single canker sore, or multiple canker sores in different parts of your mouth, kiss away. You’re not going to give it to someone else or catch it. If what you have appears on your lips in clusters of blisters – you might want to just hold hands for a few days. And see your doctor. There are some medicines you can take to reduce the symptoms and make them go away faster.
So is there a connection between gluten and canker sores? I stumbled onto a great little video from Dr. Vikki Petersen where she discusses the link between gluten and canker sores, as well as makes some other great points I’ll comment on after the jump.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

4. Don’t blink, you read that correctly.
It’s funny the things you run across
when doing research. I ran across
a document from the Journal of the
American Dental Association that
actually says that smoking can
actually help stop canker sores:
5. Patients suffering from RAS usually
are nonsmokers, and there is a
lower prevalence and severity of
RAS among heavy smokers as
opposed to moderate smokers.
6. Some patients report an onset of
RAS after smoking cessation,
while others report control on
reinitiation of smoking.
7. The use of smokeless tobacco also
is associated with a significantly
lower prevalence of RAS.
Nicotine-containing tablets also
appear to control the frequency
of RAS.
9. People who stopped smoking
have suddenly started getting
ulcers, which stopped when
they started smoking again.
Seriously. WOW.
10. Now, clearly going out and
developing a smoking habit is not
the answer. Although one could
joke that the stress from quitting
could have brought on the ulcers,
11. I can’t help but wonder if it’s the
nicotine, because it says that
nicotine “tablets” (whatever the
hell those are) appear to control it,
too.
12. I’m tempted to go out and buy
some nicotine gum. The bigger
question, though, is what is it
chemically in nicotine that is
reacting with the body to keep
it from creating canker sores?
13. Things to ponder…
Are you one of the 10-20% of the
population that gets canker
sores? Subscribe to this blog and
