How does DNA microarray analysis for genetic screening impact the economy?
DNA microarray analysis allows both high throughput and high density analysis of genetic polymorphisms in humans and other types of organisms. It has significantly reduced the cost of scientific studies linking physical traits to specific genes, thus leading to a better understanding of the human body and what doctors can do to diagnose and treat diseases. Genetic analysis is a cost saving technology, in that it can be involved in preventative medicine as well as prescribing the best possible treatments and dosages for those diseases which have been well characterized. These effects can bring tremendous advantages in reducing the cost of care and thus have a beneficial effect on the economy.
Choosing Over-the-Counter Hairloss Treatments That Really Work?
There are so many over-the-counter hairloss treatments that many people feel overwhelmed. Currently, of the many treatments available, only two ingredients have been approved by the FDA to treat hair loss: finasteride and minoxidil. If you are looking for an effective treatment, you may want to choose a product that contains one of these two ingredients. Products that improve the health of the scalp may also work to varying degrees. Yet, if you want a product that is clinically proven to treat hair loss, you will want to purchase one containing FDA approved ingredients.
