| 36.1 | Controlling Irritable Bowel Syndrome | It can appear in most anyone at any age, yet many people are reluctant to reveal they even have this common medical disorder. It brings on painful flare-ups that can alter work life, school life, and social life. It's called, irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS. Experts explain what often triggers its symptoms; and patients discuss how they are learning to better control its effects on their lives. (4 of 6) WEB LINK |

| 36.1 | Gist: Learning About Gist: A Mysterious Rare Cance | GIST- Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor is a rare disorder that in the past has been rapidly fatal. But researchers armed with the latest scientific breakthroughs are making great strides against this deadly cancer. Cameras go inside the laboratories to see how clinical trials are helping scientists better understand GIST and other cancers. (5 of 6) WEB LINK |

| 36.1 | Preventing Deep Vein Thrombosis & Pulmonary Emboli | Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a condition where blood clots form in the deep veins of the legs. When parts of these clots break off they can travel to the lungs and cause a potentially fatal condition called Pulmonary Embolism or PE. These dangerous and deadly blood clots can form in anyone, but hospitalized patients, those who are on long airplane flights, or anyone who is sedentary for any length of time can be at risk. Experts show how to prevent both DVT and PE. (6 of 6) WEB LINK |

| 36.1 | New Ways to Manage Mds | Myelodysplastic Syndromes-MDS-is the name given to a group of little-known conditions where the bone marrow does not produce enough normal blood cells for the body to function properly. This can result in the crushing fatigue that is characteristic of anemia and increased infections and bleeding because of low white cells and fewer platelets. Researchers have now come forward with new, less intense treatments for this condition. Experts discuss the latest treatments that can help many patients with MDS-even those who are in their 80s or 90s. (1 of 5) WEB LINK |

| 36.1 | Itp - The Lifesaving Work of Blood Platelets | Idiopathic thrombocytopenia Purpura, or ITP, is a fairly common blood disorder where the number of blood platelets in the body is lower than normal. In people with ITP, certain immune system antibodies malfunction and begin to attack blood platelets as if they were foreign invaders. Since blood platelets help stop bleeding by triggering the clotting process when a wound appears on the skin, a lower number of platelets greatly increases the risk of continued bleeding. Experts explain how medical science has made impressive strides in helping them maintain a proper balance of platelets, reducing the risks that can come with severe bleeding. (2 of 5) WEB LINK |

| 36.1 | Understanding Hemophilia and Hemophilia B | Hemophilia refers to a group of bleeding disorders in which it takes a long time for the blood to clot. When you bleed, the body launches a series of reactions that help the blood clot. This process involves special proteins called coagulation factors. When one or more of these clotting factors are missing, there is usually a higher chance of bleeding. Hemophilia and hemophilia B is caused by a lack of specific clotting factors. A visit to a hemophilia treatment center reveals what scientists have learned over the years about the disease and ways for patients and their families to bring it under control. (3 of 5) WEB LINK |

| 36.1 | Understanding The Mysteries of Gist: A Rare Cancer | A Gastrointestinal Stomal Tumor, or GIST, is a fairly rare tumor of the digestive tract. Though there are other kinds of tumors that can originate in this part of the body, GISTs are different because they're created in different kinds of cells than other GI tumors. Experts explain new ways of altering the progression of this disease. (4 of 5) WEB LINK |
