A review of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA).
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is quantitatively the most abundant hormone in humans and mammals, with a wide variety of physiological effects, including major regulatory effects upon the immune system. Two of the most striking aspects of DHEA are a steady decline in DHEA with age and a significant deficiency in DHEA in patients with several major diseases, including cancer, atherosclerosis, and Alzheimer's disease. The hormone is secreted in a non-sulfated (DHEA) and sulfated form (DHEA-S). The two are apparently interchangeable, and it appears likely that its physiological effects are achieved by derivative molecules that have yet to be identified.

The viability of external electrical stimulation as a therapeutic modality.
This study indicates that external electrical stimulation is a valuable tool for control of acute pain in about 80 percent of patients but, for significant relief of pain, in only about 25 percent of patients with chronic pain. The author recognizes that in order to increase its use, a system for delivery of this therapy under a doctor's prescription, rather than having to teach each individual practitioner the technique for using the device, must be developed. In chronic-pain patients when external electrical stimulation is inadequate, a more aggressive and comprehensive program of operant conditioning, progressive physical exercise, drug withdrawal, autogenic training, and biofeedback is advised.
