It's time to highlight some of the best new WisdomCards we've added to our collection this week. Our WisdomCards are hand-crafted, doctor-approved research summaries to help you find the health information you're after. See what our hardworking Guides found this week:
- Swine flu is of course the big news this week. OrganizedWisdom has been covering the news, and also answering your most important questions. Among our swine flu coverage, Kenyotta answers everyone's top question: How is the swine flu transmitted? Melinda researched the symptoms of the swine flu, and since it's also allergy season, Susan found out how to distinguish between the swine flu and allergy symptoms.
- Talking about allergies, Melinda also researched how to allergy-proof your home, and Judy looked into allergies and air conditioning.
- Our Guides also researched many details of COPD this week. Susan wrote about COPD and smoking, COPD and breathlessness, and COPD and heliox, while Kenyotta covered COPD and oxygen, COPD in women, why you shouldn't ignore a chronic cough, and using Viagra for COPD (yes, really!). Catherine also shed some light on what is involved in chest physical therapy.
- Guides were also busy researching heart disease and high blood pressure. Melinda covered such important topics as heart disease causes and how to survive a heart attack. Jacky shared details on living with heart disease and tips to prevent high blood pressure. Among those tips is following a high blood pressure diet, which Kenyotta uncovered for you along with alternative treatments for high blood pressure.
