"The Biden administration on Thursday [August 15, 2024] released prices for the first 10 prescription drugs that were subject to landmark negotiations between drugmakers and Medicare, a milestone in a controversial process that aims to make costly medications more affordable for older Americans. 

The government estimates that the new negotiated prices for the medications will lead to around $6 billion in net savings for the Medicare program in 2026 alone when they officially go into effect, or 22% net savings overall. That is based on the estimated savings the prices would have produced if they were in effect in 2023, senior administration officials told reporters Wednesday.

The Biden administration also expects the new prices to save Medicare enrollees $1.5 billion in out-of-pocket costs in 2026 alone.

“For so many people, being able to afford these drugs will mean the difference between debilitating illness and living full lives,” Chiquita Brooks-LaSure, administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, told reporters. “These negotiated prices. They’re not just about costs. They are about helping to make sure that your father, your grandfather or you can live longer, healthier.”

It comes one day before the second anniversary of President Joe Biden’s signature Inflation Reduction Act, which gave Medicare the power to directly hash out drug prices with manufacturers for the first time in the federal program’s nearly 60-year history.

Here are the negotiated prices for a 30-day supply of the 10 drugs, along with their list prices based on 2023 prescription fills, according to a Biden administration fact sheet Thursday.

What Medicare and beneficiaries pay for a drug is often much less than the list price, which is what a wholesaler, distributor or other direct purchaser paid a manufacturer for a medication before any discounts...

The administration unveiled the first set of medications selected for the price talks in August 2023, kicking off a nearly yearlong negotiation period that ended at the beginning of the month.

The final prices give drugmakers, which fiercely oppose the policy, a glimpse of how much revenue they could expect to lose over the next few years. It also sets a precedent for the additional rounds of Medicare drug price negotiations, which will kick off in 2025 and beyond. 

First 10 drugs subject to Medicare price negotiations

Eliquis, made by Bristol Myers Squibb, is used to prevent blood clotting to reduce the risk of stroke. 

Jardiance, made by Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly, is used to lower blood sugar for people with Type 2 diabetes. 

Xarelto, made by Johnson & Johnson, is used to prevent blood clotting, to reduce the risk of stroke.

Januvia, made by Merck, is used to lower blood sugar for people with Type 2 diabetes.

Farxiga, made by AstraZeneca, is used to treat Type 2 diabetes, heart failure and chronic kidney disease. 

Entresto, made by Novartis, is used to treat certain types of heart failure.

Enbrel, made by Amgen, is used to treat autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. 

Imbruvica, made by AbbVie and J&J, is used to treat different types of blood cancers. 

Stelara, made by Janssen, is used to treat autoimmune diseases such as Crohn’s disease.

Fiasp and NovoLog, insulins made by Novo Nordisk.

In a statement Thursday, Biden called the new negotiated prices a “historic milestone” made possible because of the Inflation Reduction Act. He specifically touted Vice President Kamala Harris’ tiebreaking vote for the law in the Senate in 2022.

Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, said in a statement that she was proud to cast that deciding vote, adding there is more work to be done to lower health-care costs for Americans.

“Today’s announcement will be lifechanging for so many of our loved ones across the nation, and we are not stopping here,” Harris said in a statement Thursday, noting that additional prescription drugs will be selected for future rounds of negotiations."

Are these any better(probably not) anyways I’m not really able to see these guys living a long healthy life considering what they did when they were young

[fairykukla]

I'm being stoned again.

I had Kidney Stone Day on Friday, but by Saturday I was feeling better. Panning for stones netted me debris, which was similar to what has gone before.

On Monday my Mom and I were going to leave for another state, planning to be there through the week for Thanksgiving.

I decided to grab my meds "just in case" and keep taking my flomax. I felt perfectly fine.

I borrowed a vehicle, and the seat was a little bit too far back, but not enough to prevent my using the pedals. A few hours into the 8 hour journey, I noticed soreness in my right hip. As that's the foot on the gas and break, I just assumed (hoped?) that it was my hip complaining about the reach, so we took a pit stop and I shifted the seat closer. I also got out and walked, used the restroom (normally) and stretched. I was feeling better, so we got back on the road.

The pain creeped up on me. I took one of the ibuprofen horse pills. It creeped back.

And then, just in time for the ibuprofen to wear off, the pain kind of landed on me in cleats.

I dug out the anti nausea meds, and even the Oxycodone. I didn't take the latter, but wanted it handy. I explained to my mom about what was going on. She had gotten to telling me stories from my childhood (yes, Mom, I was there) and was on a rant about how awful my father was. Normally, I just let her ramble, but I set a boundary. "Let's not talk about our emotional pain while I'm trying to cope with physical pain, ok?"

It took about 20 minutes for the second ibuprofen dose to kick in, and I got us back on the road after 15, on faith. We only had an hour and 45 min left, so I decided to power through and get us to our hotel.

We were driving in the rain again, so that slowed us down, but the meds worked well enough to keep me functional.

I got us checked in, and we found a cart to bring out stuff in.

Then my pain was so well managed that I was hungry, so I had a snack and went to bed.

This morning, the pain returned.

So I asked my aunt if she would like a Sister's Day with Mom, and encouraged them to go play together.

I'm going to chill out in the hotel room, and try to get the gravel out of my system. I haven't needed the Good Drugs yet, but I have them handy.

Honestly, having a day to rest and recooperate after driving and listening to my mother monologuing is kind of nice. I love her, and I like getting time with her.

On the other hand, she has taken it up on herself to persuade me that Christian Bale is A Great Actor and that his Batman is Best Batman*. While I'm sure that Bale is a perfectly good person, and that he studied his craft intensely, I don't enjoy him, in anything. And Mopey Throat Cancer Batman is my least favorite Batman.

Once I'm done being stoned from within, I will be happy to join in on the Bat Disc Horse with my mom. I intend to throw some of my favorite fanfic at her in retaliation. (She's old school and thinks fanfic is yucky. She'd call it "Cringe" if she weren't a legit boomer.) I bet the Bruce Wayne/Miss Piggy/Kermit story will delight her.

*I mean, to be fair, no live action creation is going to be better than Kevin Conroy's animated series Batman. But even George Clooney was a better Batman than Bale.

Ginekomastia, commonly known as male breast enlargement, is a condition where the tissue of the male breast becomes enlarged. It can affect one or both breasts and is relatively common, particularly during puberty or in older age. While it is not a life-threatening condition, it can lead to emotional distress and discomfort due to its physical appearance.

Causes of Ginekomastia

Ginekomastia typically occurs due to an imbalance in the hormones estrogen and testosterone. Testosterone is the hormone responsible for male characteristics, while estrogen plays a role in female characteristics. When the level of estrogen becomes too high in relation to testosterone, it can result in the development of breast tissue. There are several factors that may contribute to this hormonal imbalance:

Hormonal Changes: Puberty, aging, and certain medical conditions can cause fluctuations in hormone levels.

Medications: Some drugs, such as steroids, anti-androgens, and medications for treating prostate conditions, can lead to ginekomastia.

Health Conditions: Conditions like obesity, liver disease, kidney failure, and hyperthyroidism can cause or worsen ginekomastia.

Substance Use: Alcohol, marijuana, and certain drugs like heroin or methadone are known to increase the risk of developing ginekomastia.

Symptoms of Ginekomastia

The primary symptom of ginekomastia is the enlargement of one or both breasts. This swelling is often tender to the touch and can sometimes cause pain or sensitivity. The enlargement is usually caused by an increase in the amount of glandular breast tissue, rather than fat accumulation (though fat may also be present).

Diagnosis

A healthcare provider can typically diagnose ginekomastia through physical examination. In some cases, additional tests such as blood tests, mammograms, or ultrasound may be required to rule out other conditions, like breast cancer, which can occasionally mimic the symptoms of ginekomastia.

Treatment Options

While ginekomastia often resolves on its own, there are various treatment options available if the condition is persistent or causes significant distress:

Medications: Drugs such as selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) or aromatase inhibitors can be prescribed to reduce the size of breast tissue.

Surgery: If medications are ineffective, surgical options like liposuction or mastectomy (removal of excess tissue) may be considered, especially for severe cases or when the condition causes significant psychological distress.

Lifestyle Changes: In cases where ginekomastia is caused by excess weight or substance use, weight loss, or the cessation of drugs or alcohol may help improve the condition.

Prevention

While there is no guaranteed way to prevent ginekomastia, maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding drugs that affect hormone levels, and managing any underlying health conditions can reduce the risk of developing the condition.

Conclusion

Ginekomastia is a common condition that can have physical and emotional effects on men. Understanding its causes, symptoms, and available treatment options can help individuals take appropriate action. If you are experiencing any symptoms of ginekomastia, it's important to consult a healthcare provider for an accurate diagnosis and to explore potential treatment options.

Kidney Stones: Insights into Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Strategies

Kidney stones are a prevalent health concern that can cause significant pain and discomfort when they form in the kidneys. These small, hard deposits of minerals and salts can vary significantly in size and composition. While many people pass kidney stones without requiring medical intervention, larger stones can lead to severe pain and complications. This article will dive into the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for kidney stones, providing a comprehensive overview of how this condition develops and can be managed.

What Are Kidney Stones?

Kidney stones are solid masses formed by the crystallization of minerals and salts in the kidneys. These deposits form when the urine becomes overly concentrated with certain substances like calcium, oxalate, or uric acid. Over time, these substances can clump together to form stones, which vary in size from tiny grains of sand to large stones that may be several centimeters in diameter.

The most common type of kidney stone is calcium oxalate, followed by uric acid, calcium phosphate, and struvite stones. Each type of stone is associated with different causes, and the treatment may vary depending on the type and size.

Causes of Kidney Stones

Several factors contribute to the formation of kidney stones. In many cases, these stones form when the body excretes high levels of minerals or when there is insufficient fluid in the body to dilute these substances. Here are some key causes and risk factors for kidney stones:

Dehydration: One of the most common causes of kidney stones is dehydration. When the body lacks adequate water, urine becomes concentrated, allowing minerals to crystallize and form stones. Staying hydrated is essential in preventing kidney stones.

Diet: Certain dietary factors can increase the likelihood of kidney stones. A diet high in salt and animal proteins can increase the excretion of calcium and uric acid in the urine, leading to stone formation. Foods high in oxalate, such as spinach, chocolate, and nuts, can contribute to the formation of calcium oxalate stones.

Obesity: Being overweight or obese increases the risk of kidney stones. Obesity leads to changes in the body’s metabolism, which can result in increased excretion of calcium, oxalate, and uric acid in the urine, making stone formation more likely.

Medical Conditions: Several medical conditions are linked to an increased risk of kidney stones. These include hyperparathyroidism, which leads to high calcium levels in the blood; gout, which raises uric acid levels; and inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn’s disease, which can lead to dehydration and changes in calcium absorption.

Family History and Genetics: Family history plays a significant role in the risk of kidney stones. If someone in your family has had kidney stones, you are more likely to develop them. Inherited conditions, such as cystinuria, can also predispose individuals to rocks.

Medications: Certain medications can increase the risk of kidney stones. Diuretics, calcium-based antacids, and drugs used to treat HIV and cancer can alter the balance of substances in the urine, leading to stone formation.

Symptoms of Kidney Stones

Kidney stones often develop without causing symptoms until they reach the urinary tract. The symptoms can vary depending on the size and location of the stone. Common symptoms of kidney stones include:

Severe Pain: The most notable symptom of kidney stones is pain, often described as one of the most intense pain experiences. The pain is usually felt in the lower back or side and can radiate to the abdomen or groin. It comes in waves as the stone moves through the urinary tract.

Blood in the Urine (Hematuria): Kidney stones can cause irritation and damage to the lining of the urinary tract, resulting in blood in the urine. This can make the urine appear pink, red, or brown. Sometimes, the blood may not be visible to the naked eye but can be detected through a urine test.

Frequent Urination: A kidney stone in the urinary tract can cause the urge to urinate more frequently. If the stone is located near the bladder, the pressure may cause a constant need to urinate.

Painful Urination: A kidney stone moving through the ureters and reaching the bladder may cause a sharp, burning sensation during urination, which can make it uncomfortable and painful.

Nausea and Vomiting: The intense pain caused by kidney stones can trigger nausea and vomiting. This is a common symptom, especially when the stone moves through the urinary tract and causes a blockage.

Cloudy or Foul-Smelling Urine: Kidney stones can sometimes cause a urinary tract infection, which may result in cloudy or foul-smelling urine. Fever, chills, and signs of disease can accompany this.

Treatment Options for Kidney Stones

The treatment for kidney stones depends on the size, type, and location of the stone and the severity of the symptoms. Small stones often pass naturally with plenty of fluids and pain management, but larger stones may require medical intervention. Here are the most common treatment options for kidney stones:

Increased Fluid Intake: Drinking plenty of water is the first defense against kidney stones. Increasing your fluid intake helps dilute the urine and flush out the stone. This is for small stones o ass them naturally without tneeneedingintervention.

Pain Management: Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, can help alleviate discomfort from kidney stones. For more severe pain, stronger prescription medications may be prescribed. Some medicines, like alpha-blockers, can help relax the ureter muscles, making it easier for the stone to pass.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL): This noninvasive procedure is often used for larger stones that cannot pass on their own. It uses sound waves to break the stone into smaller pieces that can be passed more easily through the urinary tract.

Ureteroscopy: Ureteroscopy involves inserting a thin tube with a camera into the urethra and bladder to locate and remove or break up the stone. This minimally invasive procedure is used for stones in the lower urinary tract.

Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy: This surgical procedure is used for large or complex stones that cannot be treated with ESWL or ureteroscopy. It involves making a small incision in the back to access the kidneys and remove the stone directly.

Preventive Medications: In some cases, medications may be prescribed to prevent kidney stones from forming. Depending on the type of stone, these medications can help reduce calcium, oxalate, or uric acid levels in the urine.

Preventing Kidney Stones

Preventing kidney stones is mainly about managing the risk factors and lifestyle choices contributing to their formation. Here are some preventive measures you can take:

Stay Hydrated: Drinking enough water is essential to preventing kidney stones. Aim to drink at least 8-10 cups of water daily to help dilute the substances in the urine that can form stones.

Eat a Balanced Diet: A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help prevent kidney stones. Limiting your intake of animal proteins, salt, and foods high in oxalates (such as spinach and chocolate) can help reduce the risk of stone formation.

Avoid Excessive Sodium: Too much sodium in the diet can increase calcium excretion in the urine, leading to calcium-based kidney stones. Reducing your intake of salt and processed foods can help prevent this.

Maintain a Healthy Weight: Obesity increases the risk of kidney stones, so maintaining a healthy weight through regular exercise and a balanced diet can help lower your risk.

Monitor Medical Conditions: If you have medical conditions that increase the risk of kidney stones, such as gout, hypercalciuria, or inflammatory bowel disease, you must work with your doctor to manage these conditions effectively.

Kidney stones are a painful and often recurring condition that can be managed with the proper knowledge and treatment. By understanding the causes, symptoms, and available treatment options, you can take proactive steps to prevent stones from forming and seek appropriate care when needed. With increased hydration, dietary modifications, and regular medical check-ups, most people can reduce their risk of developing kidney stones and improve their overall health. If you experience symptoms of kidney stones, seeking medical attention promptly to prevent complications and find the most effective treatment plan is essential.

here are different homeopathic treatments for each form of disease...

Homeopathic treatments vary depending on the practitioner and the patient's symptoms. Homeopathic remedies are based on the principle of "like cures like," and are often made from substances that cause similar symptoms in healthy people. Some examples of homeopathic remedies and the conditions they are used to treat include:

Arnica: Bruising and trauma

Cantharis: Cystitis

Aconite: Croup

Colocynth: Infantile colic

Rhus toxicodendron: Osteoarthritis

Lycopodium: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

Grass pollen: Hay fever

Homeopathy uses a different diagnostic system than conventional medicine, and practitioners consider a patient's physical, mental, and emotional symptoms when determining a treatment plan. There are several types of homeopathic treatments, including:

Individualized homeopathy

A consultation is followed by a prescription of a homeopathic medicine that is tailored to the patient.

Clinical homeopathy

The same homeopathic medicine is used for a group of patients with the same condition.

Complex homeopathy

A combination of different homeopathic medicines is given.

Isopathy

The homeopathic medicine is based on the substance that caused the problem.

Homeopathic products can come in many forms, including pellets, tablets, liquids, creams, ointments, and drops. They are generally considered low-risk.

Need to Know About Pancreas Transplantation

Pancreas  transplantation is a medical procedure where a healthy pancreas is transplanted into a person whose pancreas is not functioning properly. This surgery is typically recommended for individuals with type 1 diabetes who have severe complications or kidney failure. Pancreas problems can arise due to conditions like diabetes, pancreatitis, or pancreatic cancer. Symptoms of pancreas problems include  abdominal pain, digestive issues, unexplained weight loss, and frequent infections. The transplant aims to restore normal insulin production, helping patients achieve better blood sugar control. However, it’s not suitable for everyone, and careful screening is necessary. Along with diabetes management, pancreas transplantation also addresses kidney issues, making it a dual-benefit procedure for those with kidney failure. While the success rate is generally high, the patient must take immunosuppressive drugs to prevent organ rejection. Daily worry is pressing for handling long way health after a pancreas transplant.

The Incredible Health Benefits of Curcumin Extract

Curcumin, a bright yellow compound found in turmeric, has been used for centuries in traditional medicine. But what exactly makes it so special? Modern science has uncovered a wealth of potential health benefits packed into this powerhouse extract. Curcumin’s active properties include anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, neuroprotective, and pain-relieving effects, making it a versatile natural remedy. In this blog, we get to know about the various ways Curcumin extract can support your health.

Anti-inflammatory Powerhouse Chronic inflammation is a root cause of many serious conditions, such as heart disease, cancer, and autoimmune disorders. Curcumin is renowned for its ability to reduce inflammation, especially in conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and arthritis. Its anti-inflammatory effect is so powerful that some studies suggest curcumin might be as effective as certain anti-inflammatory drugs, without the negative side effects.

Rich in Antioxidants Curcumin doesn’t just stop at battling inflammation — it also acts as a strong antioxidant. Antioxidants help neutralize harmful free radicals in the body, protecting cells from oxidative stress. By doing so, curcumin aids in preventing cellular damage that can contribute to diseases like cancer, heart disease, and ageing.

Neuroprotective Benefits Curcumin has shown promise in protecting brain health. Its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier makes it an intriguing option for treating neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. Studies suggest that curcumin can reduce brain inflammation and amyloid plaques, both of which are linked to Alzheimer’s progression.

Natural Pain Relief Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, curcumin is also an effective natural pain reliever. It has been used traditionally to treat various forms of discomfort, including chronic pain conditions like arthritis. Some research indicates that curcumin can reduce pain levels, particularly for individuals with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, potentially offering a safer alternative to over-the-counter pain medications.

Supporting Eye Health Curcumin may benefit eye health, particularly in the prevention and management of degenerative eye conditions like glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). These conditions are often driven by inflammation and oxidative stress, which curcumin can counteract. Early studies have shown curcumin’s potential to protect retinal cells from degeneration, giving hope for its use in treating various eye disorders.

Kidney Health The kidneys are vital for filtering waste from the blood, and curcumin may help protect them from damage. Chronic kidney disease, often exacerbated by inflammation and oxidative stress, can benefit from curcumin’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Some studies suggest that curcumin can slow the progression of kidney damage, making it a useful supplement for individuals with compromised kidney function.

Helps Manage Metabolic Syndrome Metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions that increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, includes high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar, excess body fat, and abnormal cholesterol levels. Curcumin has shown promise in improving several of these risk factors. Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions may help reduce blood pressure, improve insulin sensitivity, and lower levels of harmful cholesterol, contributing to better metabolic health.

How to Incorporate Curcumin Into Your Routine To reap the full benefits of curcumin, it’s important to note that curcumin is not easily absorbed by the body on its own. However, pairing it with black pepper, which contains piperine, can enhance its absorption by up to 2000%. Many high-quality curcumin supplements already include piperine to ensure better bioavailability. You can also incorporate turmeric, the source of curcumin, into your diet through teas, curries, and golden milk.

Conclusion Curcumin extract is a remarkable natural compound with a wide range of potential health benefits. From reducing inflammation and fighting oxidative stress to supporting brain health and easing pain, its versatility is impressive. Whether you're looking to support joint health, protect your brain, or manage metabolic syndrome, curcumin might be a powerful addition to your wellness routine.

The Antioxidant Effect of Q10 and Its Application for Heart

Coenzyme Q10 is an activator of cellular respiration and metabolism. It is an important medium for electron transport and oxidation in mitochondria in cells of important organs such as the heart, kidneys and muscles. It also has antioxidant effects and anti-free radical properties. It is being used in clinical practice more and more widely. Here is a summary of its antioxidant effects and recent applications in cardiovascular medicine.

1 Pharmacokinetics

Due to the large molecular weight and poor water solubility of coenzyme Q10, gastrointestinal absorption is slow, and the peak drug concentration reaches 5 to 10 hours (average 6.5 hours) after oral administration. Folkers et al. [1, 2] reported that the mean plasma concentration after oral administration of a single dose of 100 mg coenzyme Q10 was 1.004±0.370 μg/ml; 3 times a day, 100 mg each time, the average steady-state plasma concentration is 5. 4 μg/ml, which is 4 to 7 times that of endogenous coenzyme Q10. After continuous administration for 4 d, the blood concentration can reach 90% of the steady-state concentration.

The drug is slowly metabolized, with a biological half-life of 33.9 ± 5.32 h. The drug is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and taken up by chylomicrons, binds to very low-density lipoprotein, is mostly stored in the liver, and is mainly excreted via the biliary tract. After long-term use, about 62.5% is excreted in the feces in its original form.

2 Antioxidant Effect of Coenzyme Q10

The antioxidant effect of coenzyme Q10 is increasingly being used in a wide range of clinical applications, and there have been many reports in recent years. In summary, the main effects of coenzyme Q10 as an antioxidant are: (1) increasing the concentration of glutathione in keratinocytes and the antioxidant capacity of skin cells; (2) inhibiting the oxidative effects of cells; ③Inhibits the activity of phosphotyrosine kinase, prevents the formation of melanin and stops the production of dark spots. ④Prevents the destruction of epidermal cell DNA caused by ultraviolet (UVA) radiation and prevents skin cancer.

⑤Reduces the depth of wrinkles and improves dull skin. ⑥Suppresses the activity of collagenase (collagenase mRNA) and promotes collagen production. ⑦Reduces the diameter of corneocytes (corneocytes) and slows down skin aging. ⑧Increases the concentration of hyaluronic acid and improves skin hydration.

3 Coenzyme Q10 in Cardiovascular Medicine

3.1 Effects on Cardiac Function and Blood Rheology

The Coenzyme Q10 Clinical Trial Collaboration Group [3] observed that after two months of treatment with coenzyme Q10 for congestive heart failure (CHF), the ejection fraction increased from 22.6±9.2 before treatment to 37.2±10.1 (P<0.001), and the cardiac index increased from 2.0 4± 0. 32 L/m2  increased to 2. 48± 0. 52 L/m2 ( P <0. 05). Langsjoen et al. [4] reported that after coenzyme Q10 was used in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and CHF, the ejection fraction significantly improved in 71% of patients within 3 months and in 16% of patients within 3 to 6 months. Zhou Shuncheng et al. [5] observed 44 patients with pulmonary heart disease. After 10 days of treatment with 30 mg of coenzyme Q10 intramuscularly on top of antibiotics, the platelet aggregation function was significantly reduced (P < 0.002–0.001), which is of great significance for improving blood rheology.

3.2 Effect on Blood Lipids, Glucose Metabolism and Serum Electrolytes

Some studies have found that coenzyme Q10 has a significant effect on lowering total cholesterol and lipid peroxides, and significantly increases high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. In diabetic heart disease, fasting blood glucose in most cases decreases compared to before taking the medicine. There is no significant effect on plasma renin activity, blood potassium, blood sodium, etc.

3. 3 Therapeutic Effect on Heart Failure

The treatment of CHF, especially refractory CHF, is still a difficult clinical problem. The poor prognosis of CHF is mainly related to the following factors: low ejection fraction, left ventricular hypertrophy, abnormal hemodynamic status, ventricular arrhythmias, hyponatremia, hypercholesterolemia, and abnormal glucose tolerance. Traditional anti-CHF drugs such as digitalis and diuretics may aggravate the adverse prognostic factors while correcting CHF. Studies have shown that the use of coenzyme Q10 can correct the adverse prognostic factors of CHF and improve the survival rate of patients. Yao Zhenli [6] and others studied the clinical application of coenzyme Q10 to treat refractory heart failure with an efficiency of 89.9%, and the heart shape also regressed to varying degrees.

3.4 Effects on Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Left Ventricular Dilation

Currently, it is believed that left ventricular hypertrophy is a high risk factor for CHF, sudden death, and other conditions. Long term use of coenzyme Q10 can reverse left ventricular hypertrophy and improve diastolic function in patients with hypertension. The author observed 33 patients with diabetes heart disease who took coenzyme Q10 for 3 months, and the echocardiogram confirmed that the left ventricular diameter changed from 5 13 ± 0.56 cm reduced to 4 87± 0. 34 cm (all P<0 Among them, 3 cases showed significant left ventricular enlargement, and after treatment, the left ventricular diameter returned to the normal range.

4 Conclusion

In conclusion, as an antioxidant and free radical scavenger, Fumei Q10 will be more and more widely used in clinical practice, especially in the cardiovascular field, not only as an effective drug to prevent heart failure but also in the prevention of atherosclerotic diseases.
