As we are all aware, flu season is upon us. In a typical year, approximately 5 to 20 percent of the population gets the seasonal flu and approximately 36,000 flu-related deaths are reported. This year, we are faced with not only the seasonal flu, but also the novel H1N1 flu virus. This additional virus may cause a more dangerous flu season with more people getting sick, being hospitalized and dying than during a regular flu season. Like seasonal flu, illness in people with H1N1 can vary from mild to severe.

A physicians response to a patient with low-back pain (LBP) should take into account psychological and social factors as well as physical symptoms, according to an article published in The Journal of Family Practice.

FDA Warns Consumers About Dangerous Ingredients in "Dietary Supplements" Promoted for Sexual Enhancement
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
is warning consumers not to purchase or consume Zimaxx, Libidus, Neophase, Nasutra, Vigor-25, Actra-Rx, or 4EVERON.
These products are promoted and sold on web sites as "dietary supplements" for treating erectile dysfunction (ED) and enhancing sexual performance, but they are in fact illegal drugs that contain potentially harmful undeclared ingredients.
These products have not been approved by FDA, and there is no guarantee of their safety and effectiveness, or of the purity of their ingredients.
FDA advises consumers who have used any of these products to discontinue use and to consult their health care provider.
FDA encourages anyone experiencing ED to seek guidance from a health care provider before purchasing a product to treat this medical condition.
"These products threaten the public health because they contain undeclared chemicals that are similar or identical to the active ingredients used in several FDA-approved prescription drug products.
This risk is even more serious because consumers may not know that these ingredients can interact with medications and dangerously lower their blood pressure," said Dr. Steven Galson, Director of FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
