Atopic dermatitis (AD), also called atopic eczema, is a common, chronic, recurrent, inflammatory disorder of the skin which affects 5 percent of children worldwide and perhaps more. Moisturizers bring some relief but studies from PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane library identified relevant studies from their inception through 28 February, 2022 and the systematic review and network meta-analysis of 11 randomized controlled trials involving 3,483 infants found that they can also prevent eczema in high-risk infants.

The silly season of electoral boasting, prognosticating and tea leaf reading is over and both sides, now calmer, look over the same exact data to determine what went wrong or, if you're the prevailing party, what went *right*. As we now know, 17 days ago, the Democratic party in what were all essentially down ballot races this latest mi... read more

For more than two centuries, the imperial enterprise of the United States has colonized the territories and resources of the original nations of this continent while pretending to have a “providentially assig... read more

The WB discussed their recent report, "Overcoming poverty and inequality in the Philippines." My quick reaction -- Overcome poverty, Yes. We should have less poor people, more rich people. And No, we should not overcome inequality. We should respect more inequality. The WB, UN, and all other multilaterals are stoking envy. The PH with about 113 M people, if there are 50 owners of Ferrari, the politics of inequality say these 50 families should be demonized. No. We should have 200, 500 families who shd own Ferrari.
