Homeopathic doctors are in great demand these days. Homeopathy advice too, therefore, is vastly sought. If a homeopathic doctor decides to write an e-book with tips and helpful facts about the subject, patients worldwide can benefit from his work. Homeopathic doctors are often so busy that they have long queues of patients waiting to pay them a visit. A large percentage seeks homeopathy advice rather than treatment. If the same is available online, so much time, effort and energy can be saved. Homeopathy advice is not uncommon in rural as well as urban areas. Nevertheless, in cities, people seeking homeopathy advice have access to the Internet, and if there is guidance available online, it would do wonders for a large number of patients.

Online resources also entail a time factor.

Extremely busy homeopathic doctors may not have time to write an e-book and publish their experience and counsel on the Internet. They may prefer the traditional method of imparting knowledge. Despite the long queues, they may not seek an alternative to guide patients in person. If at least twenty percent of the world's homeopathic doctors decide to write an e-book about their findings, the wealth of knowledge they would create in unimaginable. There are several ways of doing this. One of them is to hire an apprentice who learns as he or she records.

While the expert guides, the amateur shall be trained. This way the doctor does not need to devote extra time to write an e-book; the apprentice can take care of it. Another method is of recording research and findings on Dictaphones or other such devices. The recordings can then be transferred through transcription. Many medical transcriptionists can take up the task to write an e-book and translate primary research into online reading material. Homeopathy advice can also be converted to an online resource with the help of lectures. Series of lectures delivered by an expert on the subject, or a specialist can easily be edited by an author familiar with medical jargon, who can also write an e-book.

In the field of medicine, with innovations and discoveries happening almost everyday, it becomes impossible to record each and every latest development for the world to know. Aspects such as allopathic or homeopathy advice can not always be available readily. With the advances in technology, however, the Internet has brought the realm of medical resources much closer to the human world.

The author of the book Anatomy of an Epidemic: Magic Bullets, Psychiatric Drugs and the Astonishing Rise of Mental Illness, Robert Whitaker, believe that antidepressants are more harmful than beneficial. He says “they are driving an epidemic of drug-induced mental illness.”  He raised questions about the use of antidepressant medicines during lecture at the Canadian University and tackled the public misconceptions about pharmaceutical manufacturers, doctors, and the over-prescription of antidepressants like Paxil.

In an article from Medical Publishing, Prescription Medicines, Side Effects and Natural Alternatives, a jury in Wyoming affirmed that Paxil, an antidepressant drug, caused a man to kill his wife, daughter and granddaughter before killing himself in June 2001.

Up to million in damages were given to the family of the victims. The case reflected Whitaker's view on the side effect of antidepressants, legal observers say.

Paxil has been alleged that it causes several dangerous side effects and withdrawal symptoms, according to medical researches and reports from patients.

The most commonly encountered Paxil side effects are drowsiness, weakness, diarrhea and constipation.  Side effects also include agitation, impulsiveness, nervousness, nausea, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculatory delay.

Some of Paxil side effects are minor and that medical attention is seldom sought.

On the other hand, the drug has also serious side effects that requires you to act on it immediately. Paxil users should consult their doctors if they encounter these side effects:

• Allergic reaction

• Seizures

• Tremors

• Balance or coordination problems

• Abnormal heart rate

• Breathing difficulties

• Eating difficulties

• Fainting

• Memory problems

• Confusions

• Hallucinations

• Personality changes

• Suicidal thoughts

• Birth defects to newborns

The US Food and Drug Administration FDA ordered the drug manufacturer for Paxil label changes because of the results of studies showing the earlier stated side effects. These warnings and clinical findings are meant to alert Paxil users.

 Consequently, immediately report to your doctor if you have doubts and queries about your health condition in connection with your Paxil intake. There has been a number of Paxil lawsuits filed against its manufacturer, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK).  According to court hearings statements, the company has been fully-aware of Paxil’s harmful effects including Paxil birth defects but despite this, they still sell the drug.  One should also seek legal advice to determine if he/she is eligible for a financial compensation from GSK.

Paxil has been known to cause several types of birth defects which include congenital heart disease, in newborn babies whose mothers had taken the drug during pregnancy. Get more information about the drug and the Paxil birth defect sit can potentially cause here and how you can submit Paxil lawsuit and if you or a loved one was injured by paroxetine, you may be entitled to a portion of this money through a Paxil settlement.

Somebody not familiar with the industry may ask why anyone would be interested in antique books. Of course , lots of times the information contained in them is so outmoded that it's downright inaccurate! Science books are almost laughable with their basic awareness of the universe, medical books are surprisingly inaccurate about the workings of the body and reason for many sicknesses, and of course history books seem like fairy tales when held up against today's modern world. But for most antique books are something to be appreciated and they are really quite valuable to a lot of collectors. Particularly bibles and other holy antique books, and writings of very famous folk through history ; all these can fetch quite a sum at auction.
Some of the reasons that are so coveted by collectors include the fact that they are so fallacious when held up against today's modern textbooks. When we understand how incorrect medical books were from decades back, we realize how much work doctors and scientists have done to get to where we are today - and how much more work there is to be done. Some appreciate that antique books are seen as virtually elementary because this really paints a picture of the progress that folks have made when it comes to science or drugs.

]]>

But for others, it could be the timelessness of antique books that appeal to them. When you read the papers of ancient poets and thinkers you notice that people actually haven't modified much down through history.

Where do you believe history comes from, naturally it's antique books. This is our history. It all comes from antique books.

Reading one can be like getting into a time machine and going back into the past. Knowing a book is hundreds of years old, permits us to wonder about the person who wrote it, the people who have owned it, the meaning they got from it.

So where you find clients for antique books? They are all around us. Folks who want to transport themselves back to the times of the writer and feel their feelings. These people are obsessed about their books. Most auctions have separate showings for antique books because the buyers are dissimilar from people who buy antique toys and furniture. Most libraries are on the lookout for historic books so they are always buyers. Religious organisations, and many individuals are always looking for traditional Bibles and spiritual texts. Just watch an episode of the Antiques Roadshow, they usually have a section on antique books. Antique books are hot.

What Makes them So Useful?

Everything has shrunk to a considerable level since the inception of Computer technology. People are living in smaller houses and time is always short. You are always running out of time for day long affairs and you often have to skip some jobs for the sake of more important one. Ironically, these leftover pieces of work are often those which relate to our personal interests and wellbeing. We sacrifice our taste and interest for the sake of worldly affairs and give priority to other monetary stuff. Earlier people were used to live in larger abodes and, those who were fond of reading books, had an entire section devoted for their libraries. Some fortunate few still enjoy these luxuries. Those who can not afford a separate section to build up their in-house library but still want to read good books, can find a solution in the form of online libraries. These online libraries offer online electronic books (eBooks) which can be accessed from anywhere in the world, thorough your computers or laptops. These online books are easy to search, manage and referred.

There are online libraries devoted to several or a particular field to choose from. For example there are online libraries on medical stream offering innovative medical e-Book and digital contents to individuals, medical professionals and even to libraries across the world. The online medical collections of these libraries contain thousands of medical online e-books, medical multimedia modules, medical e-videos and electronic journals and cover a vast range of medical specialities. These online medical libraries are nothing less than a treasure for medical education and academic studies.

“They are active materials. Once implanted in the patient, they interact with the surrounding fluids, and while they are being gradually absorbed by the body, they promote bone regeneration, acting only as an initial scaffold for the new bone.” Andres (2007:26) quotes Dr Karin Hing once saying which is a researcher at the London-based Interdisciplinary Research Centre in Biomedical Materials. Consequently our world now is facing a different kind of traumatic events particularly in car accidents which we doesn’t expect and to think critically it can cause people to the different bone damages in their body like in the knee, hips and other bone fracture. The most crucial of all is can lead to the death of a person which made their lives very short in the world we are living.
Moreover several studies were made by the different scientist who have determination to get up this kind of idea which is a material that suitable as a replacement of different bone damages or fracture that can’t affect once health when it will undergo this kind of medical implant and the people who are responsible for this is what we called the doctors. That’s why the field of medicine is continually evolving for many years in its different area only to discover knew things for our present and future good. Pursuing further, they found out the applications of bioceramics is one of the greatest help in our today’s generation and to the future in medical implants for its potentially suitable for a wide range important applications specifically in different bone damages and because of this it’s have been publicized in early times and until now in our modern world for its biocompatibility. According to Hench and Ethridge in 1982 that was quoted by Heimann which says that the inorganic compounds are designed to replace a part or a function of the human body in a safe , reliable, economic, and physiologically and aesthetically acceptable manner.
Currently ceramics materials are extensively used for medical application and it’s having been successfully within the human body for many years. In the definition of Larry L. Hench, the ceramics material which used for repair and reconstruction of disease or damaged parts of musculo-skeletal system that may be bionert, resorbable, bioactive or porous for tissue in growth is known as bioceramics. On the other hand, Cristina Jimenez-Andres said that bioceramic provides the right environment for the new bone to grow into and it has a special chemical composition that allows a type of cell called osteoblasts which is responsible for bone production to attach to the ceramic’s surface, and start generating new bone. Also the interconnected tiny holes within the bioceramic structure facilitate the proliferation of the cell network, and the growth of the bone, within the synthetic scaffold and the calcium content of the bioceramic provides the inorganic component that new bone requires to develop its mineral-like structure.
General speaking my study focuses on the similar properties of bioceramics is a good substitute for replacing bone damages which aims to know the what are the comparable properties of bioceramics to the bone and how does interact in the human body. In addition, it also aims how it bioceramics discover or shall we say its past history until know. However, to make this study effective you need at least 10 sources whether in books, magazine, newspaper, and in the online sources which what I’m doing it. Indeed I came to this generalization it’s because

The Different bioceramics in bone replacement and its properties
* Hydroxyapatite has been recognized as an important bioceramics because of its excellent biocompatible due to similar chemical composition to the human bone. However, HAp cannot be used as implant in a heavy load bearin parts like artificial teeth or hip joints due to its low inherent low mechanical properties particularly low fracture toughness compared to human bone. Many studies have been reported on the improvement of fracture toughness of HAp ceramics by the addition of a second phase including particles whiskers or fibers and metallic coating or dispersion etc. One important to improve mechanical property without dispensing the excellent biocompability of Hap and this fact limits the choice of second phase to modify. HAp ceramic matrix Al2O3 and ZrO2 are two common properties although bio-inert in nature. (Taek, Lez, Sarkar, & Song, 2009) In addition, HAp also known have a high biological affinity for example good osteoconductivity. Therefore it is widely used as an artificial substitute in the repair of bone tissues because its protein adsorption characteristics, another popular application is in culomn packaging for liquid chromatography. (Watanabe, Ogata, Kamitakahara, & Ohtsuki, 2009)
Nevertheless, Tetracalcium Phosphate (Ca4P2O9) > Amorphous calcium Phosphate > alpha-Tricalcium Phosphate (Ca3(PO4)2) > beta-Tricalcium Phosphate (Ca3(PO4) 2) >> Hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2)Unlike the other calcium phosphates, hydroxyapatite does not break down under physiological conditions. In fact, it is thermodynamically stable at physiological pH and actively takes part in bone bonding, forming strong chemical bonds with surrounding bone. This property has been exploited for rapid bone repair after major trauma or surgery. While its mechanical properties have been found to be unsuitable for load-bearing applications such as orthopaedics, it is used as a coating on materials such as titanium and titanium alloys, where it can contribute its 'bioactive' properties, while the metallic component bears the load. Such coatings are applied by plasma spraying. However, careful control of processing parameters is necessary to prevent thermal decomposition of hydroxyapatite into other soluble calcium phosphates due to the high processing temperatures.(Gross,2002)
*Alumina and Zirconia are known for their general chemical inertness and hardness. These properties are exploited for implant purposes, where it is used as an articulating surface in hip and knee joints. Its ability to be polished to a high surface finish make it an ideal candidate for this wear application, where it operates against materials such as ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE).Porous alumina has also been used as a bone spacer, where sections of bone have had to be removed due to disease. In this application, it acts as a scaffold for bone ingrowth. Single crystal alumina or sapphire has also been used in dental applications, although its use in this application is declining with the advent of more advanced materials such as resin-based composites.
*Titanium ant its alloy have been widely applied as artificial dental implant and hip joint due to their good bio-compability and mechanical properties. However, Ti would take more than three months to integrate with bone. In particular Ti, must be kept with bones without applying mechanical force during the fixation period. It is known that the regeneration of apatite on Ti substrates can be promoted by bio-ceramic coating such as hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate,and calcium titanate.(Sato, Tu, Goto, Euda & Narushima, 2009)
Examples of Medical Application in Orthopaedics
Joint Replacement: The use of ceramic components in surgery began in the 1970’s with the introduction of first generation alumina products for joint replacement, when ceramic’s superior resistance to wear in comparison to more traditional metal and polyethylene materials became apparent. Advances in material quality and processing techniques and a better understanding of ceramic design led to the introduction of second generation alumina components in the 1980’s that offered even better performance than early systems. (n.a, 2000)
CERAMIC FEMORAL HEAD (Hip Joint Ball): Replacing broken and worn out body parts is not a new idea. In fact, the first orthopedic institute was established in 1780 to treat skeletal deformities in children. Professor Themistocles Gluck (1853 -1942) as inventor of artificial biomaterials. Prof Gluck, pupil of professor von Langenbeck, renowned practitioner of the Berlin’s Surgical Clinic, changed concept of contemporary surgery “from being the destructive art to become the reconstructive art”. He developed artificial total joints, fabricated from ivory and implanted them in many patients. In the early 1960s, the first artificial hip joint, a stainless steel stem and cup invented, by the English surgeon Sir John Charnley, was implanted. Charnley’s design, although simple, was virtually unchanged for three decades, even though surgeons and researchers alike knew there were problems with using metal in the human body. These included corrosion, wear, and loss of bone. Yet, until the 1990s, there was no alternatives that could match metals implant lifespan of 10 to 15 years. Hence, many orthopedics manufacturers began experimenting with ceramics, which are being used extensively in orthopedic implants, particularly hips. Ceramics offer some inherent advantages over metal. They are biologically inert, produce nearly no wear debris, and can be designed to more closely match the material properties of natural bone. Again metal has such high stiffness, the bone surrounding an implant no longer bears the load; the implant carries the entire load. As bone is a living tissue, it begins to resorb when it ceases to carry the load, allowing the implant to loosen and eventually require replacement. Ceramics can now also be formulated to allow bone to grow within their porous structures, or scaffolds. They can completely incorporate the scaffold with natural bone within five to seven months. For the articulating surfaces on hip, knee, and shoulder implants, two ceramics are most commonly used, alumina and zirconia. These materials are much harder than metal, cannot be scratched, and can be used on both the ball and socket components of an implant, such as the femoral head and the acetabular cup of a hip implant. The ceramic hip prosthesis gives much higher life than metallic prosthesis, formation foreign debris is also much lower thereby reducing side effects and is suited for all patients especially relatively younger people who may have to opt for HIP replacement surgery. More than 0.5 million Hip replacement surgeries are being performed per year globally. Hip replacement surgery is done for a case of necessity and needs lots of precautions and post operative measures. Patients who experience unbearable pain due to Osteoarthritis or have broken hips due to accidents undergo such an operation. This coupled with increased life expectancy has triggered multi-directional research activity to identify ideal materials for such implants to give the desired longevity and comfort. Property requirement of alumina based femoral head as per international standard. (Yuan, Drujin ,& Zhary, 2001)
Impact of Bioceramics as replacement of bone damages
The most significant demand for biomaterials has emerged as a consequence of the need to provide clinical treatment to a large number of patients. The key factors and driving forces are the increase in life expectancy and the aim to provide a minimum quality of life to an aging population. In particular, said increase in life expectancy has increased considerably the number of patients with osteoporosis. According to Prof. M. Vallet- Regi, if we take also into account the continuous increase in the number of motor vehicles, with its associated social penalty in terms of traffic accidents, the incidence of bone pathologies is increasing at an alarming rate in recent years. The search for potential solutions in this field produces a large demand for materials suitable for bone repair or replacement. Calcium phosphates, bio-glasses, bio-glass ceramics and ordered silica mesoporous materials, among other types of materials, will be reviewed and studied from the point of view of their potential applications as replacement materials in bone repair and regeneration, as potential substrates in tissue engineering, and also as drug delivery systems. The ability of functionalizing the material surfaces with various molecules of different nature and shape will allow actuating selectively on the biological environment. An overview on the present achievements, but also on the missing links will be presented.
In the next century as a better understanding of the interactions of artificial bone with organic components is achieved on the molecular level it will be possible to tailor the physical and chemical properties of the material with the specific biological and metabolic requirements of bone tissues or disease states. Since the population is continuing to grow older, artificial bone will play an even more important role in improving the health of many people around the world. (Sheppard, 2000)
III. Conclusion
Over the last 20 years, ceramic materials have been refined and there is now a range of ceramic and engineered solutions optimized for medical applications including surgical tooling, ultrasound and implants. Now, manufacturers of ceramic materials are concentrating their efforts on development of manufacturing processes to address specific medical needs. As a result of this research and development medical device manufacturers, doctors and their patients are all benefiting from the ability to precision engineer very high reliability components in commercial quantities.
Indeed the bioceramics materials is a good substitute for bone damages because of its similar properties of the bones which potentially act to as a natural bone replacement inside the body that capable to interact with the bone tissues and in fact it really helps a lot of people who go through this kind of implant. Its revolutionary changes and has occurred in reconstructive surgery which people benefited in the improvement of the quality of their life that is the increase of their life expectancy or shall we say they will live longer in the world. As year passed bioceramics it will meet a highly demand and continue to be successful of these materials and also the opening of new avenues for many reconstructive surgeries to lead a damage free, pain free, maintenance free stable for a longer time.
