Monotherapy may be insufficient to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) for some patients with glaucoma, but therapy with 2 agents may be inconvenient and result in poor adherence. Yamamoto et al. reported results of 2 phase 3 randomized controlled trials in which a fixed-dose combination of 2% carteolol and 0.005% latanoprost, given as a single therapeutic (termed OPC-1085EL), was evaluated for safety and efficacy. OPC-1085EL was compared with carteolol and latanoprost administered as monotherapies or as separate concomitant therapies. The authors found that OPC-1085EL was well tolerated and reduced IOP more than the monotherapy and comparably to the concomitant therapy.wisepoqder Carteolol powder
The trials were conducted at several centers in Japan and included patients with bilateral primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. After a 4-week period with latanoprost or carteolol monotherapy, patients received 8 weeks of treatment with monotherapy, concomitant therapy, or OPC-1085EL applied daily in the morning.
In study 1, the mean reduction in baseline-adjusted IOP for the 113 patients treated with OPC-1085EL (2.9 mm Hg) was significantly better than for the 116 patients treated with latanoprost monotherapy (1.6 mm Hg). In study 2, the mean reduction in baseline-adjusted IOP was significantly better for OPC-1085EL (n = 76; 3.5 mm Hg) than for carteolol (n = 76; 1.6 mm Hg). IOP reduction in the 37 patients who received carteolol and latanoprost concomitantly was similar to that in recipients of OPC-1085EL. In both studies, OPC-1085EL was tolerated well and associated with only mild adverse drug reactions.
The authors concluded that OPC-1085EL is similar to concomitant therapy in terms of IOP-reducing efficacy but offers greater convenience. They noted that subsequent studies are needed to evaluate it for a longer duration, administered at other times of day, and in more diverse populations.
witching patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension from concomitant latanoprost and carteolol HCL to a latanoprost/carteolol fixed combination led to similar IOP control and good patient satisfaction.wisepoqder Carteolol
Forty-three patients (43 eyes) who were using latanoprost in the evening and carteolol HCl (CH) in the morning were switched to latanoprost/carteolol fixed combination, once daily in the morning.Researchers found IOP values recorded at 1 and 3 months after switching from latanoprost and CH to the latanoprost/carteolol fixed combination (LCFC) were not significantly different from those at baseline.
Furthermore, they found no difference in the IOP values obtained using the LCFC according to the type of glaucoma, baseline IOP or number of medications contained in the original regimen.
In addition, corneal epithelial defects were significantly reduced, and tear break-up time was significantly increased.Nineteen patients said they missed doses with less frequency after switching to LCFC, and 29 patients rated the eye drop container as more user-friendly.
Thirty-three patients (80.5%) preferred LCFC, according to the study. – by Abigail Sutton.We’ve got great beer and poutine (just ask the Google) and several excellent prostaglandin analog/beta-blocker (PGA/BB) fixed combination (FC) drugs that play a prominent role in my glaucoma practice.
Inoue and colleagues, using protocol very similar to routine clinical care, have arrived at conclusions that mirror those of prior investigators: PGA/BB FC drugs lower IOP as well as the individual constituents used concomitantly, have a favorable safety profile, decrease ocular irritation and increase patient satisfaction.
In managing any chronic and initially asymptomatic disease, poor adherence is a prominent contributor to treatment failure: Drugs don’t work for people who don’t take them. Cost, convenience and comfort are integral. The latter two can, at least in part, be addressed through leveraging FC; in fact, it is possible to prescribe drugs from four classes, using as few as three or four drops from just two bottles, only one of which is preserved with BAK (and at an extremely low concentration, to boot).
Simplifying dosing schedules and minimizing iatrogenic complications encourage adherence and, in doing so, help control disease progression. Fixed combinations, while not without limitations, are one means to that end.
The local hemodynamic effect of pindolol, a nonselective beta-blocker
with intrinsic sympathomimetic activity, was investigated in 17 healthy
volunteers. Changes in forearm blood flow (FBF) in response to infusion
of drugs into the brachial artery were measured by plethysmography.
Pindolol increased FBF dose dependently to a maximal value of 62 +/- 8%
(mean +/- SEM, p less than 0.001) without inducing changes in heart rate
or blood pressure. For a single dose of pindolol the maximal effect on
FBF was seen after approximately 4 minutes of infusion, and this effect
persisted for at least 12 minutes after the infusion. wisepoqder Pindolol powder
The
pindolol-induced increase in FBF was reduced by concomitant infusion of
propranolol (p less than 0.001). Intra-arterial infusion of practolol
did not influence FBF. No significant influence of pindolol was found on
the vasoconstriction induced by the alpha 1-adrenergic receptor agonist
methoxamine, the alpha 2-adrenergic receptor agonist BHT-933, or
angiotensin II. Measurement of plasma pindolol concentrations in the
venous effluent of the forearm suggested that vasodilatation occurred at
drug levels within the therapeutic range. These results indicate that
the beta-blocker pindolol has vasodilatory properties owing to
stimulation of vascular beta 2-adrenergic receptors and that this effect
may be of therapeutic relevance.
The drug pindolol was proven to
reduce alcohol consumption, in particularly binge drinking, according to
the study from Queensland University of technology researchers. The
good news is, if the drug is proved successful following the completion
of human clinical trials, then it already has Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) approval. Neuroscientist Professor Selena Bartlet,
from the tnstitute of Health and Biomedical Innovation, said it would
provide an inexpensive approach to treating alcohol dependence.
‘Drugs currently used for AUDs (alcohol use disorders) – acamprosate, naltrexone and disulfiram – have limited success – so this is a ground-breaking development with enormous potential. ‘In an internationally-significant breakthrough, our study showed pindolol was able to reduce ethanol/alcohol consumption, particularly in relation to binge drinking, a key behaviour observed in human alcohol dependence.’
One in three US adults – about 75 million people – have high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure is diagnosed when the systolic blood pressure (the upper blood pressure number) is greater than 130-140 or the diastolic blood pressure (the lower blood pressure number) is above 80-90 on three or more occasions. Hypertension increases a person's risk of developing serious health problems such as coronary heart disease (including heart attack), heart failure, stroke, and kidney disease.wisepoqder Indapamide powder
Controlling hypertension with medication is known to help reduce the risk of these life-threatening events. Several medications are available to treat hypertension. However, it might surprise you to know that an older medicine, indapamide (Lozol), has become a top choice in hypertension therapy due to some unique benefits.
Indapamide is a diuretic (also called a "water pill") approved by the FDA in 1983. Indapamide acts on the kidneys to boost the elimination of sodium, potassium, and water in the urine. This results in increased urination, which lowers blood pressure by reducing the fluid in blood vessels and body tissues. Indapamide also opens up blood vessels, further reducing the blood pressure and easing stress on the heart.
So, what about its unique characteristics? First, indapamide has a longer duration of action and controls blood pressure better than most other diuretics. Second, indapamide has been shown to work better than other types of high blood pressure drugs at preventing heart failure. Finally, a large clinical study showed that the combination of indapamide and another blood pressure medicine (perindopril) reduced the risk of heart attack, stroke, and death in people with type 2 diabetes.
A dose of indapamide lowers the blood pressure for 24 hours or more, so patients only need to take the medicine once a day. However, if adverse effects happen they can last for a long time. After an overdose, unwanted effects such as excessively low blood pressure, dehydration, weakness, and confusion can continue for up to 3 days. A shorter duration is expected if side effects occur after normal doses.
With regular prescribed use, the most common side effects of indapamide are fluid loss and low blood potassium. If the potassium level drops too much, a potassium supplement might be prescribed. You can also add potassium-rich foods to your diet such as bananas, oranges, avocados, spinach, watermelon, and sweet potatoes. Seniors and patients with heart disease should take special care to drink plenty of fluids to guard against dehydration while taking a diuretic.
If an adult unintentionally takes an extra dose of their indapamide, it is not likely to be a problem. Maintaining good fluid intake and monitoring at home for symptoms of low blood pressure (such as dizziness and nausea) are recommended. Safe single doses can range up to 5 mg in most adults, or up to 2.5 mg in those aged 65 years or older. If a child unintentionally gets into indapamide, treatment will depend on age. Since this drug has not been studied in children, monitoring in a healthcare facility might be needed.
This post will take a look at the key ways third parties could be snooping on your online activities right now.
Government surveillance
Your
government is almost certainly spying on you. In the U.S., the National
Security Agency (NSA) legally collects private data including:
Emails,
messages and other data from your accounts with AOL, Apple, Facebook,
Google, Microsoft, PalTalk, Skype, Yahoo, YouTube, and others
Internet traffic passing through undersea fiber optic cables, which it taps in collaboration with governments around the world
Cell phone locations in some countries outside the U.S. It collects around 5 billion records per day
In
the UK, the Tempora program intercepts internet traffic for
surveillance purposes in partnership with the country’s telecom
companies and the NSA.
These are just the programs we know about,
based on leaked information. So there’s also the possibility that new
and secret surveillance programs are spying on us in other ways, too.
Unsecure internet connections
You
might have secured your own network and computers with firewall and
security software. You probably also have an authenticated connection to
your ISP. But how secure is the path your data takes when you transmit
it over the internet?
Unless you’re using a VPN, not very. When you
send or receive data packets online, you know when they reach their
destination. But you don’t know which networks that data passed through
on its way to that destination—or who might have made a copy. It’s
possible that your internet traffic is being spied on, by other parties
as well as government agencies.
Malicious software
If your
computer is infected with malicious software, then it could be spying on
you too. Types of malware that can steal your data include:
Keyloggers –
These programs record every keystroke you make and send it to a third
party, to track your activity or steal information like credit card
numbers.
Adware – Websites you visit are tracked and sent to a third
party, which uses the data to target ads based on your browsing history.
Spyware –
Software that appears to serve a useful purpose but that also steals
your data. The infamous CoolWebSearch download presented itself as a
browser add-on, but it also stole chatlogs, account credentials, bank
information and more.
Third-party tracking cookies
Web advertising
distribution networks get a cookie from your browser every time you see
one of their ads. Each cookie includes information that identifies you,
either by your IP address or your browser’s unique identifier.
If
the ad distributor is big enough, you’ll see their ads on lots of
different sites. And they’ll get a cookie each time. The result is that
the advertiser can track your browsing activity and use the data to
target ads more effectively.
Most commercial websites now warn you that “This website uses cookies to improve the user experience.”
Whether
or not this constitutes spying is a matter of perspective. But these
tracking cookies could undoubtedly be considered a sneaky invasion of
your privacy.
Measures to protect you from spies
If you want to protect your data from secret surveillance, consider the following steps.
Use a VPN to encrypt your internet traffic, so spies can’t open data packets even if they intercept them
Install security software and keep it up to date, to protect your computer from malware and hackers
Disable third-party cookies in your browser. It’s a simple option in Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, and others.

Most people think of privacy as a fundamental right. The right to have a personal conversation without someone listening, the right to keep your belongings out of public view.
believes that individual privacy is something everyone deserves.
For a long time on the internet, there was an illusion of privacy. From secure online shopping payments to password-protected social network accounts—we were told our information was protected and safe. Perhaps you still believe it is?
But for many people, events like mass NSA surveillance and the theft of celebrities’ personal photographs have changed perceptions about internet privacy. It seems all too easy for hackers to get into our stuff—and much of that ‘hacking’ is government-sponsored.
Getting your data is like taking candy from a baby
There have been many high profile cases of hacking and surveillance in the past few years.
The National Security Agency: The NSA legally monitors every
American’s phone records, has access to phone and internet traffic in
the U.S. and abroad, and hacks targets as it sees fit. The UK and other
governments do it too.
Celebrity photo theft: Anonymous posted over
500 celebrity photos on the 4chan image board in 2014, many containing
nudity. Apple’s iCloud service is believed to be the source of the
breach.
eBay: The online shopping service was hacked in mid-2014, exposing millions of users’ passwords and data.
Target:
70 million Target customers had their credit card data stolen in 2014
after hackers found a security hole in the company’s systems.
PlayStation
Network: The online game service was hacked by LulzSec in 2011,
resulting in the theft of around 77 million users’ account data.
When
our data is stolen and monitored so often, from big companies who
insist our data is safe in their hands, it seems sensible to be a little
less trusting with our information.
The cost of free online services is your privacy
If you use free web email and social media services, then you also give up your private information to third parties every day.
There’s a reason these services are free. Some of the ways they use your data include:
Ad targeting: Search engines, social networks, and other services track your activities, so they can target you with ads.
Selling
your data: With your consent, and sometimes without, companies you sign
up with online often sell your information to marketing list makers.
Junk mail ahoy!
Monitoring your email: Many popular free webmail
services monitor your messages for criminal activity and may be legally
obliged to share your data with government agencies.
Of course, you might well be aware of all this – and yet you probably still choose to use Facebook, Gmail, Twitter and so on.
After all, nothing is really free. Maybe giving up a little of your information is worth it?
Malicious hackers
Another major threat to Internet privacy is one we can probably all agree is unwelcome.
Symantec’s “2014 Internet Security Threat Report” found that malware, phishing and other attacks on our personal computers led to the exposure of over 552 million identities in 2013. There was a 62% increase in the number of breaches and a 91% increase in targeted attacks campaigns in the same year.
With online crime on the increase, the future of internet privacy appears far from safe.
Privacy steps you can take
When all’s said and done though, who is responsible for your privacy online? You are.
Anyone who wants to keep their data totally private could stay off the internet, but that isn’t much of an option in today’s world. So it’s about taking the right security steps and making informed choices about how we share our data. Sometimes, as with government surveillance, those choices are out of our hands. But there are steps you can take to increase your privacy.
Take security measures: Keep your online accounts safe, reduce the
risk of security breaches by keeping your software up to date and by
using security software. Stay aware of common online risks.
Be
careful who you sign up with: Don’t trust every cloud service with a
fancy website. Research online, read the terms of service, and look for
how they’ll use your data.
Use a VPN service: VPN services encrypt
your Internet traffic so that third parties can’t snoop on your
activities. Data is much more secure when you connect to the Internet
via a VPN.

A connected world probably means less privacy
So is internet
privacy a lost cause? As we’ve seen, putting our personal information in
the hands of big companies is not very secure. There’s a real risk it
will be stolen. And that risk seems to be increasing.
Using online services means willfully giving up a bit of our privacy. But because we want to be part of a connected world, many of us are happy to do so.
In the internet economy, your data is valuable currency. Internet
privacy isn’t likely to get any easier in the future. Stay aware, stay
secure, and choose how you share your data carefully. And, of course,
don’t forget to use a VPN to protect your data.

The difference between right and wrong is rarely black and white. When it comes to the big moral issues around internet privacy—from government surveillance to Facebook privacy—you might have your own opinions. But there are two sides to every story.
Let’s take a look at some of the current moral issues surrounding internet privacy.
The law’s guidance on internet privacy
Perhaps the most clear-cut
moral issue relating to internet privacy is the use of spyware, and
other malicious software, to steal private information and commit
cybercrime.
In the U.S., Europe, and other countries, many cyber crimes have been outlawed – reflecting a consensus that stealing is wrong.
In the U.S., federal laws against cybercrime cover:
Unfair or deceptive acts or practices
Credit card fraud
Fraud in connection with identification documents and information
Fraud in connection with access devices
Fraud in connection with computers
These
laws make it illegal to invade someone’s privacy in order to steal from
them. But they also outlaw hacking that isn’t malicious.
The morality of hacking
In May 2014, the Guardian reported that
some of the world’s best security researchers were under threat of
indictment for their efforts to expose vulnerabilities in internet
infrastructure.
The U.S. Computer Fraud and Abuse Act outlaws hacking or breaking into private networks and systems. But internet security experts use hacking projects to uncover security flaws with the intention of fixing them. For example, the Critical.IO project discovered a weakness in the UPnP protocol that put up to 50 million computers at risk and fixed it—by hacking private computers.
Because of this and many similar incidents, lots of people believe that cybercrime laws should take into account the intent behind hacking, and not just the act itself.
The creep factor
Threats to privacy on the internet don’t only
come from criminals. We also willingly give up our personal data on a
daily basis, to online services like Facebook and Google.
In these cases, our data isn’t stolen, but many public concerns have arisen over how corporations use the data. For Facebook, holding the personal data of hundreds of millions of users has created an expectation among those users that the company should use it reasonably and protect their privacy. In the past few years, users have raised complaints about:
Sharing of their private information on Facebook with third-party websites and applications, which could be used for data mining
Confusing privacy settings that prevented many users from being able to control their privacy effectively
Bugs that allowed third parties to invade users’ privacy, including one that enabled posting to any Facebook user’s wall
In
none of these cases had Facebook broken privacy laws. But in each case,
users found their information was being used in a way they did not
expect and did not like. These disturbing and unexpected uses of our
data are known as the “creep factor.”
The creep factor demonstrates that for companies to use private data ethically, they must be very clear about what they’re doing with it—even if what they’re doing with it is legal. Otherwise, people get a little creeped out.
Freedom of information or the right to be forgotten?
A key feature
of the Internet that affects our privacy is its inability to forget.
Web pages about individuals often stay online and searchable
indefinitely, potentially affecting the subject’s reputation.
In May 2014, the European Union ruled that its citizens had a “right to be forgotten” and told Google it must delete “inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant” pages from its search results.
The case led to debates between those who believe privacy is a human right and those who prioritize freedom of information.
The downside of internet anonymity
While many internet privacy
issues are about the exposure of identities, it’s also possible to use
many online services anonymously. And often, that anonymity is used for
evil.
Doxxing is the act of hacking someone’s personal information (including their address, contact information, and banking details) and posting it anonymously online. In August 2014, hackers posted social security information, PayPal details and other private information belonging to the game developer Phil Fish. Fish later announced he would be leaving the games industry.
Other doxxing victims have included Mel Gibson and the LAPD police chief. Perpetrators might argue that these people got what they deserved, but their actions are hard to defend.
Government surveillance: Necessary or evil?
The governments of
most nations, including the U.S. and those in Europe, tap internet
traffic as part of national security programs.
While revelations about NSA surveillance in the U.S. led to privacy concerns and talk of a “surveillance state,” many conservative thinkers believe “we need an invasive NSA” to protect against cyber intrusions.
As with all moral issues about internet privacy, there are two sides to the story—that of the person giving up their private data, and that of the person storing it.
What are your thoughts on internet surveillance and privacy online?
Is there ever a good reason for a government to spy on its citizens? Or
should they all leave us alone?
When comes to the issue of online privacy and security, we suggest to use a VPN,
and our recommendation is RitaVPN. RitaVPN is an excellent choice for

But technology can also work in the opposite direction, helping the spooks learn about our private lives and behavior, which makes it difficult for individuals to develop personalities freely from fear and control.
But which technologies should we be afraid about most, and why? And what can help us protect ourselves from these trends?
1. Facial recognition systems
There are already cameras everywhere, and while it’s undeniably entertaining to watch bloopers from everyday life on youtube, it is creepy to know everything we do in public life is potentially made available to the world to consume.
With advanced technology, it will soon be possible to not only record all our public life but also analyze it in almost real time. While facial recognition is far from perfect, it already allows a computer to match a person even if glasses or hats obscure parts of their face.
Quite likely, facial recognition software will become more accurate than humans—especially when scaled to databases the size of a city’s voters registry, national passports, or even that of Facebook.
With advanced face recognition software, a state might be able to find out with high accuracy where a person is at all times, who they are with, and what they are currently doing.
It’s pretty hard to protect against facial recognition. The most effective tools stand out considerably to the human eye, and they only really work if a large number of people use them. If only a few people use tricks to deceive cameras, it will be quite easy to work out who they are.
For now, items that fool the cameras are mainly a sign of (much needed) protest and objection to the automatization of the police state.
2. Ride-sharing apps
Your car is your property, and there are limits to what governments can do with it. They cannot deny you access to it, seize it, or search it without good reason.
In your car, you also decide where to go, and what hardware and software to install.
However, when you rent a car or hop into somebody’s rideshare, you are not protected by these same provisions. On top of that, the app you use to hail the ride knows where you are at all times and will record this data.
The app even knows where you are going before you get there and, in some cases, can even predict your commuting behavior (this risk is also endemic to navigation systems). All of this data is available to advertisers and governments.
At present, it’s still relatively easy to avoid ride-sharing if your hometown has decent public transportation or you can afford a car.
3. Electronic money
Carrying change in our pockets is inconvenient. Finding an ATM nearby can cost money and take time. Most of us have access to electronic payment methods like credit cards, Google Pay, Wechat Pay or Venmo.
But relying on these systems can be dangerous. Not only are all your transactions analyzed and sold to advertisers, but they are also available to your government. Tourists crossing the U.S. border from the north can be refused entry, and possibly even face jail time, because they purchased marijuana legally in Canada.
Electronic money can not only be used to surveil and prosecute you, but also to deny you access to services only available with credit cards, such as online purchases or card-only shops.
If we do end up eradicating cash, as we already have for expensive goods, we are making it easy to marginalize people without access further.
To avoid government snooping, use cash as much as you can, and Bitcoin whenever you shop online.
4. Predictive policing
Predictive policing has inspired many science fiction stories, most famously Philip K Dick’s The Minority Report.
Unlike in The Minority Report, we cannot rely on psychic mutants to see future crime, but instead, we have to rely on existing crime databases, most of which carry a fair amount of prejudice and bias.
Predictive policing amplifies this bias, meaning some crime goes less punished, while citizens in crime-ridden areas are inconvenienced through concentrated law enforcement action, similar to that of racial profiling at airports.
It may seem far-fetched, but predictive policing is already in trial stage at multiple locations around the world—most notably through U.S. military contractor Palantir in New Orleans.
All of the above is why we should all demand ethical technology
It is the responsibility of all of us to use and further ethical technology while rejecting technology that can be used against us.
Wear face covers where you can, even if it is just as a protest. Make use of your own car or even better, public transportation, and pay with cash and Bitcoin wherever possible.
Be vigilant against attempts in your community against any policies that endanger the equality of all and the erosion of your rights.

On social media, it is easy to forget who can see our posts. A pseudonym can protect us from revealing too much, but there are still plenty of ways we can accidentally dox ourselves.
1. There’s lots of metadata in images
Many cameras and smartphones
collect metadata along with the picture. This data might include the
time you took the photo, information about your camera, and highly
sensitive information such as GPS coordinates or usernames.
Some social media sites will remove this metadata from the image before making it publicly available, but they will still collect and store the information for themselves. Other sites will not remove your metadata at all.
It’s best always to remove metadata yourself to prevent unwanted followers to show up at your doorstep.
Some metadata is pretty hard to remove. A picture of you in front of the Eiffel Tower will always reveal that you are currently in Paris, for example. So maybe it’s best to wait until you are back home to post it so as not give potential robbers any ideas.
Look carefully at pictures before you post them. Maybe a street sign or passing public bus reveals your location?
2. QR Codes are embedded with lots of information
We know it’s
tempting to show your followers that you are on your way to a vacation,
or just saw a cool new blockbuster, but this is not without risk. Be
careful of everything that has a QR code in it, such as movie tickets or
flight tickets. The QR code might include your loyalty card number or
even your name.
With this information, a criminal, personal enemy, or even just a prankster might be able to successfully change your flight, get themselves movie tickets on your expense, or empty your loyalty card.
3. Your language and writing style is a dead giveaway
Blogging
anonymously is hard. You will have to change your language and style and
avoid slang carefully. Everybody has some words they use far more than
others, and the science of stylometry helps people find out who wrote
what.
The more casual the writing style, the easier it is to find out who is the author of an anonymous piece, such as a song.
It is possible to use computers to automatically analyze essays, work emails, or blog posts and correlate them with the style of the social media account.
Your IP address will betray you
Every site you visit can see your
IP address. Somebody who wants to find out your IP address and
approximate location needs only to trick you into visiting a site they
own, for example by commenting on your recent social media post, and
then routing the request.
It’s straightforward to reroute traffic unnoticeably, for example by using a link shortener service. A shortened link can direct to a third-party before forwarding on to the site you expect to see, and there is no visible trace your information was caught in the middle.
In some countries, such as the United States, it’s even easier to get internet usage data. ISPs will happily sell your information to anyone who asks, so any site you have visited can cheaply find out our name and address.
Think twice before you post anything
You already know you have to
be careful with what you post on your social media accounts. But be
especially careful with metadata, information in the background of
pictures and videos, and QR and barcodes.
When comes to the issue of online privacy and security, we suggest to use a VPN,
and our recommendation is RitaVPN. RitaVPN is an excellent choice for
