The most unfortunate in Britain were four menPosted on 9/1/2008 at 7:00 PM - 0 Comments - Post Comment - LinkMen aged 35-44 years less satisfied with their own lives. Such data were derived from interviewing residents of Great Britain 3600, conducted by the British Market Research Bureau commissioned by the Department for Environment, Food and Agriculture (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, DEFRA), reported BBC.The average life satisfaction has been the same from the British men and women, and amounted to 7.3 points on desyatiballnoy scale. The most unfortunate were four men suffering from the crisis of middle age: their "happiness index" of 6.8 points. Even the traditionally discontented lives of adolescent boys (aged 16 to 24 years) the figure was higher and amounted to 7.3 points. The most happy period in the lives of Britons have been years of retirement: men over 65 years the average life satisfaction was 7.8 points, among women the same age - 7.65 points. Also themselves feel happy girl, who recently turned twenty years: percentage of satisfaction in their lives amounted to 7.55. In addition to sex and age, important in determining the existence of the work was self and state of health. Unemployed and disabled people have low levels of satisfaction, respectively 6.3 and 5.9 points. According to the poll, men were more calm than women. To the question "Do you often volnuetes" responded positively 45% 30% of women and men, researchers reported. Fresh air - barrier of child myopiaPosted on 8/26/2008 at 5:08 PM - 0 Comments - Post Comment - LinkThe children who spend much time outdoors, the less likely razovetsya nearsightedness, Australian researchers have found. Medical students analyzed the sight of the 55 schools identified Sydney and protective effect of the Child in the open air for the eyes at 80% of children. Frequent walks and mobile games in the street prevented ease eye strain when reading, watching TV, working on the computer and prepare domestic work.Ophthalmology at the University of Sydney convinced that fresh air is useful not only for overall child health, but to protect eyesight at the age of 7-11 years. Found Association and its properties against visual problems are not understood, but it is assumed that sunlight, oxygen saturation of the body and physical activity allow eyeball to grow and thus optical media eyes coincide with its size. Eye apple actively growing in the interval from age 5 to 10 years, and wrong formation of force in the optical eye retina can often weaken eyesight for life. Stem cells to treat liver failurePosted on 8/6/2008 at 7:37 AM - 0 Comments - Post Comment - LinkTransplantation of liver cells - a promising method of treatment of acute and chronic liver failure.Japanese scientists from Okayama Gakuin University investigated the possible use for the treatment of liver failure gepatotsitopodobnyh cells derived from bone marrow stem cells. For this rat stem cells from bone marrow was obtained a stable cell line bystrodelyaschihsya of cells. At least over 300 doubling the number (about 300 days) cells maintained normal diploid karyotype and not changed their basic properties. The cells express markers, indicating their origin mezenhimalnom: CD29, CD44, CD49b, CD90, vimentin and fibronectin, but not CD45. When growing at Matrigele (Matrigel) with the addition of hepatocyte growth factor and fibroblast growth factor-4, cells differentiated into gepatotsitopodobnye cells, expressing albumin, cytochrome-P450 (CYP) 1A1, CYP1A2, glucose-6-phosphatase, tryptophan-2, 3 -- dioksigenazu, tirozinaminotransferazu, nuclear factors hepatocytes 1 - alpha and 4 - Alpha. Transplantation of the spleen cells in rats that have been removed 90% of the liver, prevents the development of hepatic failure (without treatment such rats are killed). The results indicate the possibility of using bone marrow stem cells for the treatment of severe liver diseases. Materials research presented in the article Miyazaki M, et al. Isolation of a Bone Marrow-Derived Stem Cell Line with High Proliferation Potential and Its Application for Preventing Acute Fatal Liver Failure. Stem Cells. 2007 Aug 16; How to speed up recoveryPosted on 7/8/2008 at 6:09 AM - 0 Comments - Post Comment - LinkHow to speed up recoveryIf you have a damaged arm or leg, then unyvat in no case stands. It is known that optimists recover much faster than pessimists. Researchers from the University of British Bata recommend seeing themselves in the mirror, focus not on the injured section of the body, for example, left leg and right to a healthy. In doing so, must constantly repeat myself that traumatized leg in the short term will come to rule and would be the same as law. This should act, because researchers verified this information to their patients with limb injuries - they are doing these procedures before the mirror and recover much sooner. Diet can cause nicotine addictionPosted on 6/26/2008 at 9:56 PM - 0 Comments - Post Comment - LinkScientists have long raise the alarm about the passions of women varied diet, pointing out that in some cases, such hobbies can bring to anorexia. Now, however, it became clear that anorexia before the case can not come, but it is likely that a woman will start smoking.This was reported researchers from the University of Florida. The results of their analysis showed that representatives of the beautiful sex, which are attracted to the depletion of his body through all kinds of diets, the desire to start smoking occurs twice as often than women with normal diet. According to the doctor Mildred Maldonado-Molina, the relationship between diet and smoking was expressed much stronger among women than among men. After analyzing data among the eight thousand students, specialists have found that limitations in food makes them more vulnerable to tobacco. Besides, many girls have been exposed will begin to smoke, because that experienced discomfort tangential its weight. Interestingly, the association was not found among boys. Medical explain that nicotine can be used both to suppress appetite, and as a drug against stress during the diet. Despite the apparent link, U.S. doctors believe that parents should not exercise undue alarm if their child sit on the diet, because a balanced diet can be part of a healthy lifestyle and do not necessarily cause addiction to cigarettes. Therefore, one of the reasons why people begin to smoke or can not get rid of this habit, is the impact of cigarettes on the Rights of weight control. By the way, has rid itself of harmful habits and most highly paid model Giselle Byundhen peace. She admitted that, quit smoking, in a short time to fix almost 7 kilograms, but now receives far more pleasure from eating than ever before: "When threw smoke, quickly corrects only because wakes appetite and get a tremendous pleasure from food - its no longer taste similar to tastes of tobacco. " A fighters against smoking in Italy, apparently found another argument in favor of that from the need to get rid of nicotine addiction. This argument is based on Roman Dermatologists report, which refers to the fact that most smokers all other people having problems with the skin, consisting clogging pores and acne outbreak rash or acne, especially true for women. As stated in the report, from 1000 non-smokers only 10% of women suffer from acne or acne, while smoking among this percentage is higher than quadrupled. Scientists have even identified a new type of acne rash characteristic only for smokers - nevospalitelny type. Information about it will be a new means of frightening effects on female smokers because it is among them, the rash most prevalent. Broccoli protects against heart diseasePosted on 6/26/2008 at 9:49 PM - 0 Comments - Post Comment - LinkCabbage broccoli, cooked for a couple, makes a heart and reduces myocardial damage in a lack of oxygen. By this conclusion came as a result of American scientists experiments on rats, the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.The head of research Professor Dipak Das and his colleagues from the University of Connecticut during the month of laboratory rats fed broccoli extract. At the end of that period they studied the work of the heart of the animals, comparing results with a control group of animals receiving regular food. It was found that the hearts of rats receiving broccoli functioned better and were more resistant to hypoxia - the lack of oxygen, leading to the development of a heart attack. According to researchers, the protective effect of high content of broccoli explains certain substances, in particular sulforafana that promote education tioredoksina. This protein plays an important role in protecting cells in a blood impaired heart muscle. Protective effect of broccoli is not limited to the prevention of heart disease. Earlier studies have shown that the cabbage reduces the likelihood of breast cancer and prostate gland. According to Dasa, the greatest protective effect is cabbage, cooked for a couple. "A long boiling broccoli loses most of its useful properties", - said the scientist. DeaIing with Stress ReIated High BIood PressurePosted on 6/26/2008 at 9:49 PM - 0 Comments - Post Comment - LinkDeaIing with Stress ReIated High BIood Pressure Everyone needs some stress. It is what makes us get up in the morning and do the things we do. It makes us achieve things and get from A to B and in doing so our BIood Pressure has to rise it is part of the normaI way of thingsI paraphrase sIightIy but the gist of the above comment came from a conversation with a Doctor recentIy whiIst reviewing my BIood Pressure medication. Im quite chuffed reaIIy in that I have managed to get my bIood pressure down to manageabIe proportions and am in the process of changing the medication. I have been moved from amIodipine which is a CaIcium ChanneI BIocker to IisinopriI which is described as an Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor an ACE Inhibitor but this is an aside, the reaI purpose of this articIe is to discuss stress and its infIuence on High BIood Pressure. As was mentioned earIier, if you Iet stress either get to you or stay (for whatever reason) at perpetuaIIy high IeveIs the risk of acquiring stress induced High BIood Pressure obviousIy increases. AIso not to beat around the bush for a minute, the risk of Stress reIated “Iate Onset Type 2 Diabetes aIso increases massiveIy. AIongside the risk of Type Diabetes there are a whoIe number of associated conditions that couId arise and basicaIIy none of them do you any good. Age is not reaIIy a factor here, it used to be but with current stress IeveIs in Society, any sustained IeveIs of stress are not good for you. Iearn to manage your stress and deaI with it. Coming to terms and understanding where you are at present is a start and trying to find ways of coping with the stress is important. Part of the probIem with sustained stress and todays Society is that we Iack either the wherewithaI or the motivation to be abIe to deaI with our stress in sensibIe ways. If you foIIow the stereotypicaI picture of todays stressed out executive, the usuaI response to deaIing with Stress is either through AIcohoI (which induces associated probIems of its own) or through severe exercise via a Gym. Now firstIy Iet me say, that there is nothing wrong with a smaII drink from time to time. I have been known to participate with the odd drink myseIf from time to time (in my younger days of course ) but taken to excess this can aIso add to your High BIood Pressure instead of reducing it. AIso the same can be said for working out in the gym. If aII you need to do is to work out some of your frustration from the day then OK but if you happen to be harbouring an increased and unexpIained BIood Pressure IeveI then just bIundering in and assuming extreme exercise is going to soIve it is sIightIy dangerous. It might in fact make things worse. If it does not sound either too trite or too obvious the best way to deaI with Stress is to try and not get it in the first pIace. Iearn to take things in your stride and above aII Iearn to reIax. Viagra gives hope to people with malnutrition heart musclePosted on 6/15/2008 at 7:42 PM - 0 Comments - Post Comment - LinkThere are at least 20 types of muscular dystrophy, the most common of which is Dyushenna dystrophy. It is characterized by a weakening of muscles, progressive paralysis and leading to the death of a patient aged 30-40 years. Only in Britain suffer from the disease about 30 thousand people.So far scientists have not found an effective treatment for the disease, which sometimes develops in a very early age - in five years. However, at this week's group of Canadian scientists reported positive results of sildenafila (the drug known as Viagra - medicine, which has already helped tens of millions of men suffering from lack of potency) in the fight against malnutrition heart muscle. This disease leads to death after a patient 20 - the age. Opening scientists, which writes the journal Proceedings of the Nation and l Academy of Sciences, made during the experiment on mice with muscular dystrophy Dyushenna, which is called insufficient distrofina protein synthesis in muscle tissue. As learned Professor Christine De Rozer from the University in Montreal, where mice given doses sildenafila comparable to doses taken by men with erectile dysfunction, damage to heart muscle cells decreased significantly. This effect can further be used in the treatment of people. Sildenafil, initially developed by Pfizer to reduce pressure and treatment of quinsy, suppresses enzymes work, which reduce the level occurring in tissues cyclical guazinmonofosfata (cGMP), plays an important role in many processes, including an erection. "At the present time, no one asked the question about how Viagra affects reception on the status of the muscle tissue of patients. Although it seems to me that these scientists will soon, given that this drug is allowed for use in clinical conditions - notes Professor De Rozer. -- However, security and portability of the funds have yet to confirm, as well as determine whether to use data experiment on animals in treating people ". According to preliminary data, she adds, another product of this family - tadalafil - helps maintain skeletal muscle, suffering from a lack of distrofina. Recently, in another study found that Viagra helps rebuild the body's natural clock, so that constantly fly in an airplane passengers and night shift workers could easily be applied to recommend the drug in moderate doses.

Indeed, it is impossible to predict during the flu and complications can be very different. In severe influenza may develop hemorrhages and various complications (pneumonia, otitis, gaymorita etc.). Only a doctor can properly assess the patient's condition. Such a complication of acute pneumonia, often develops from the earliest days, and sometimes with the first hours of influenza disease. It is therefore necessary to the appointment of specific antiviral agents and adequate treatment facilities and other antibacterial drugs (to avoid complications). Most shows and additional surveys - such as chest X-ray, ECG, and others. Patients flu require constant monitoring by health workers, but, unfortunately, about 30% of patients hospitalized in a hospital late - after 5-6 days of disease that leads to protracted and downstream pneumonia and other complications. Also unacceptable to the patients themselves or parents of affected children alone begins at various antibiotics, often unwarranted, that not only prevents the development of bacterial complications in adults and children, and sometimes contributes to the emergence of allergic reactions, the transition to chronic diseases, dysbiosis, sustainable forms of bacteria. In the event of the first symptoms of influenza shows use the following means: abundant drink in the form of hot tea, cranberry jelly or cranberry sea, alkaline mineral water (borzhomi with milk, etc.); ANTIPYRETIC means: paracetamol (for example, panadol, koldreks), NPVS (solpafleks, brufen) in the age dosage; acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) contraindicated in children younger than 16 - the age because of the risk of Reye syndrome; sosudosuzhivayuschie funds locally to alleviate nasal breathing; mukaltin, liquorice root, or Bitter alteya and others means for liquefaction and othozhdeniya sputum; protivokashlevye means: pertussin - with increased cough reflex, tusupreks, or bronholitin, or glauvent - with a dry cough; libeksin - with stubborn painful coughing; bromgeksin - when wet cough and sputum trudnoothodyaschey; chest collection, which includes alteya roots, leaves the mother-and - stepmother, dushitsu, liquorice root, salvia, pine buds, fruit anise - in the long-term continuing cough; dextromethorphan - at night coughing; Children older than 2 years old and adults in the first days of illness are encouraged to conduct steam inhalation with the present of chamomile, kalenduly, mint, sage, zveroboya, Ledum, pine buds, 1-2 - percent. hydrocarbonate solution of sodium and others; ascorbic acid, polivitaminy; antihistamine drugs (tavegil, or suprastin, or zaditen, etc.); in the first days of human leukocyte interferon disease (CHLI) for intranasal 3-5 drops 4 times a day by spraying or intratrahealno in the form of aerosol (2-3 amp divorced in 3-5 ml of boiled or distilled water) through parokislorodnuyu tent or inhaler type IP -2. It must be remembered that all these drugs should be appointed doctor.Your eyes. Drugs help improve eyesight.Posted on 5/16/2008 at 12:15 AM - 0 Comments - Post Comment - LinkAll eye medications conditionally divided into three groups:The first group - is drugs, which artificially relaxing the eye muscles, the most famous of them - atropine, which can only be appointed doctor. This long-acting medicine - his kapayut once and all - three weeks of work near comfortable. The second group - is drugs, which deepened night vacation eye, for example drops Shtulna. This group, in our country, virtually unknown, although in terms of physiology, the most successful of these drugs in cases where no opportunity to avoid overloading the eye, for example, the regular and continuing work on the computer. A third group - drugs, which are designed to improve the retina. This is mainly antioxidants that are mostly of vegetable origin. Useful for eye vitamins - triovit, aevit, "Mirtilene forte." Particularly useful integrated polivitaminy in which vitamins are combined with trace elements: zinc, calcium, as well as all drugs on the basis of bilberries: "Fitochernika", "Bilberry-fort", bilberry extract, and "eye pills." Of the natural products suggest that you Bilberries mashed with sugar. While you can certainly take and ready to drugs, which contain bilberry extract, the concentration of substances in them useful in the retina, much more. Only vdumaytes: one tablet or capsule will replace such products if you 2 kilos of fresh berries! As a result of receiving such drugs restored visual pigment rhodospin, improves blood circulation oculi that certainly beneficial effect on eyesight as a whole. Bilberry extract also help you get rid of the age of serious eye diseases - muscular dystrophy retina. We recommend that you also welcome such a common and cheap drugs, such as calcium gluconate to 0.5 g before eating: children 7-9 years - 1-2 times, 10-14 years old - 2-3 times, adults - 3 times a day over 10 days. The product is not only strengthens the outer shell eyes, but also decreases the permeability of vessels, helps prevent hemorrhages, has protivoallergicheskoe effect. And in conclusion general recommendation: if your work is connected with the constant "communication" with a computer or requires regular and prolonged eye strain, take over the practice of periodically do break in the work, and turn a blind eye to move from top-down, right-left.

Bulk Forming Drugstore LaxativesPosted on 5/16/2008 at 12:06 AM - 0 Comments - Post Comment - LinkThere are five basic types of drugstore laxatives you should be aware of. Some of these laxatives can be dangerous to use. In addition, some of these laxatives are combinations of these five types, which are designed to create an effective constipation product. In making this combination, a product is created that can be even more dangerous to your health.The five types of drugstore laxatives are: * Bulk Forming Laxatives – (clears constipation in 1-3 days) * Stool Softening Laxatives – Emollients – (works in 1-4 days) * Lubricant Laxatives – (works in 5- 9 hours) * Osmotic or Saline Chemical Laxatives – (works 1- 3 hours) * Stimulant Laxatives – (works in 6 – 24 hours) If you are going to use any of these laxatives keep in mind they will work faster when you take them on an empty stomach. Use them only for the time necessary to get relief from constipation. Once you have cleared your constipation, look for a more natural way to keep regular. Start by eating more fruits and vegetables to get more minerals and fiber. Bulk Forming Laxatives Bulking laxatives are the safest laxative to use and can be use longer than other types of laxatives. These laxatives contain fiber or fiber like products. However, it is best to get your fiber from food since food has a balance of all nutrients your body needs. These laxatives work by making your stools larger and heavier and help attract and trap water into their fiber structure. This stimulates your colon to have a bowel movement. Using laxatives that contain fiber is a natural way to stimulate your colon into action. Bulking products or food can be used for mild cases of constipation. Use them with plenty of water so the bulking material does not expand in your throat or cause a back up in your colon. Using an excess of bulking products daily can cause the problem you are trying to eliminate - constipation. Natural bulking agents are karagy, guar, agar, and psyllium seed. Some semi-synthetic bulking agents are methylcellulose or carboxy-methyl cellulose, which I do not recommend. Some bulk forming laxatives you will find in the drugstore are: * Citrucel – contains methylcellulose (not recommended) * Fiberall – contains psyllium seeds * Fibercon – contains Calcium Polycarbophil (not recommended) * Hydrocil – contains psyllium seeds * Metamucil – contains psyllium husks * Perdiem Fiber – contains senna * Ultrafiber – contains psyllium seeds and prunes Some bulk forming laxatives contain excess sugar and sodium. Read the label for these items, if you have high blood pressure or are diabetic. If you are pregnant, using bulk forming laxatives may be the safest way to relieve your constipation, but look for natural fiber food products. These natural products are discussed in other articles that I have written. Avoid using any other type of laxative since the chemicals they contain can get into the fetus or, when breast-feeding, the breast milk. |
