It is time to highlight some of the best new WisdomCards we added to our collection last week. Our WisdomCards are hand-crafted, doctor-approved research summaries to help you find the health information you're after. Here's a sampling of what our hardworking Guides created last week:
- What are the different types of lipids in the blood? Guide Carolyn answers that question, while Guide Misty has WisdomCards on heart disease facts and the genetics of high blood pressure. Guide Catherine offers a WisdomCard on peripheral artery disease treatments, and Guide Jacky has written on congestive heart failure warning signs.
- No one wants to talk about it, but overactive bladder is a real problem. Guide Jacky has written WisdomCards on overactive bladder in women, risk factors for overactive bladder, and devices to help with overactive bladder. Guide Kenyotta has also added a WisdomCard on urinary incontinence medications.
- Have you heard of a retinal migraine? What about a transformed migraine? Kenyotta created WisdomCards on both these types of migraines.
- In the news this week, Guide Susan created a WisdomCard on Farrah Fawcett's reality special, and another on the possibility of autism recovery. And Guide Melinda wrote a WisdomCard on Natalie Cole's kidney transplant.

Depression is increasing day by day because of global economy meltdown these days. A lot of work load to the corporate has led them to be unhealthy. The over work load is disrupting their health schedules, and hence their health concerns are creating a problem. Many corporate employees are reporting to have a severe headache, and heart pains due to increased tension and stress being levied on them. Being one of them, I was having a severe pain on heart and head because of bundles of work being thrust on us. Many of the co-employees were experiencing the same, and many have already gone sick because of unscheduled work, high stress environment round the clock, no exercise, improper food. This was giving a distinguishable impact on the companies work efficiency. And at that time, a corporate wellness program served by a medical service provider elite health was initiated by the company. It was quite an appreciable step to hire a medical service to monitor the health of employees. This decision really ameliorated the working efficiency of the company, which was a direct advantage to the company.
