The name Centereach was chosen when it was discovered that a name in Upstate New York already had the name New Village. The name indicates the centrality of the hamlets location on Long Island. Dawn Estates and Eastwood Village were the first suburbs in the area, built in the 1950s.
Steroids, anti-inflammatory drugs such as prednisone, can be used for asthma as well as other lung diseases. Prednisone and other steroids (inhaled, oral, or by injection) help calm airway inflammation in asthma.
Steroids, such as prednisone, have an important side effect in muscle deterioration. Associated with this are both acute and chronic steroid-induced myopathy. However, steroids also have powerful anti-inflammatory effects, and are therefore used in some autoimmune diseases that affect muscles. Thus, steroids are a double-edged sword: they can cause muscle pain, but may be useful in relieving some forms of it as well.
