Meniere's disease is a disorder of the inner ear that causes episodes of dizziness, tinnitus, and progressive hearing loss, usually in one ear. It occurs when fluid pressure builds up in the inner ear and causes symptoms like vertigo, ringing in the ears, hearing loss, and a feeling of fullness in the ear. While there is no cure, treatments like water pills and lifestyle changes can help relieve fluid pressure and the associated symptoms.
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes redness, swelling, and acne-like sores on the face. Symptoms include redness of the face, irritated and bloodshot eyes, and a burning sensation. Treatment involves avoiding sun exposure and stress, limiting spicy foods and alcohol, and using sunscreen daily.
This document provides an introduction to evidence-based medicine (EBM). It discusses what EBM is not, including that it is not something physicians have always done, "cookbook" medicine, a tool only for administrators and insurers, or restricted only to randomized trials. It also notes that EBM is not opposed to patient-centered medicine. It then discusses the need for EBM in terms of costs, delays in research implementation, managing the growing medical literature, countering misleading marketing, and dealing with conflicting results. It provides examples of delays and misleading information to illustrate these points. Finally, it introduces the concept of asking clinical questions and finding evidence to help answer those questions.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awards the Nobel Prize for Physics. The document discusses Alfred Nobel, the founder of the Nobel Prize, and how receiving the Nobel Prize is the culmination of all the recipient's hard work, though their work is not yet complete as there are more questions they want to answer.

The document summarizes several studies on motorcycle accidents. It discusses findings from the MAIDS report from 1999-2000 which looked at over 900 accidents and control cases. It also discusses the Hurt Report from 1976-1981 which examined over 900 accidents. The document outlines that most accidents occur in urban areas at intersections, often involving another vehicle. It notes motorcycles have a much higher risk of death - being 35 times more likely to result in a fatality per vehicle mile. The document stresses wearing protective gear like helmets and clothing can significantly reduce injuries and prevent fatalities in crashes.
