Sept. 18 (HealthDay News) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the first skin patch to prevent nausea and vomiting in people with cancer who are undergoing chemotherapy, Scottish maker ProStrakan Group Plc said in a news release.

The Sancuso (granisetron transdermal system) patch releases the active drug slowly into the bloodstream, providing up to five days relief from symptoms that can lead to dehydration and malnutrition, the company said.

(HealthDay News) -- A jarring and forceful blow to the head can result in a brain injury called a concussion.

The American Academy of Family Physicians lists the following warning signs of concussion, which should be evaluated as soon as possible by a doctor:

* Headache.
* Difficulty seeing.
* Dizziness.
* Difficulty concentrating, memory loss or confusion.
* Problems retaining balance.
* Nausea.
* Ringing in the ears.

My husband gets a pretty severe headache when in the sun for only 4-5 minutes, sometimes even with a baseball cap on but definitely when he is hatless. Today he was outside for about 4 minutes for a fire drill at work and his headache formed in 4 minutes of sun exposure.

20 or more minutes causes nausea and an hour, even with a baseball cap, can cause vomiting. Our summers are pretty hot and sunny (yay for me, nay for him!). I am wondering why this extreme reaction to sun happens? He did not grow up in a place with hot summers but I didn't either and I don't have this problem.

Morning sickness can make the first trimester of pregnancy uncomfortable for many women. Although Zantac, Pepcid, and stronger prescriptions are common recommendations to help control the nausea and vomiting, taking as few medications as possible is in the best interest of the baby. Thankfully, a couple of alternative methods that originate from Traditional Chinese Medicine can help one relieve nausea. These safer substitutes are better for prenatal care and can be acquired cheaply and easily.
