| Ear infections 'link' to obesity later |
| 2008-08-15 05:07:59 |
Today i was reading a health article from BBC News which i found very interesting and i want to share with my blog readers. You will be amazed to know that ear infections early in the life can lead to Obesity later on. Obesity is rising day by day in preschool children, that may be one of many factors that are responsible for obesity. A history of severe ear infections or tonsil trouble may increase the chances of being obese later in life, according to scientists.Infections may affect food choices by damaging nerves involved in taste, the researchers said. In a study more than 6,000 adults were quizzed about their history of ear infections and the results suggested that those with a moderate to severe history were 62% more likely to be obese.

| Use Antibiotics only when necessary |
| 2008-08-14 12:33:28 |
Antibiotics are widely used now a days whether it is necessary or unnecessary. Doctors are habbit of prescribing it. Bad reactions to antibiotics are mostly allergic ones.The findings offer another reason for doctors to limit their use of the drugs, which are overused as they have found more than 6,600 emergency visits were due to an adverse reaction to an antibiotic."Systemic antibiotics (pills or injections as opposed to creams) were implicated in 19.3 percent of all emergency department visits for drug-related adverse events," according to 15 issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases.Penicillin and related antibiotics such as amoxicillin, widely prescribed and widely seen as safe, accounted for half the emergency visits. Other classes of antibiotics such as cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones...

| Whether it is bad or good to go to the gym every day |
| 2008-08-12 12:14:10 |
Most of us want to know whether it is bad or good to go to the gym every day? Some says... that it's good to go every day and yet it's good to take a day break in between workouts...It's not bad to workout everday. What it is bad to do is work the same workout everyday. If you alternate lower body and upper body you will be fine. Cardio is fine everday (we did evolve from things that constantly move) and so are body weight exercises like pushups, pullups, crunches, regular squats (although some people will tell you they arent). You can reach a plateau and this requires a break, usually a day or two. If you do the same thing all the time and work out intensely, particularly with weights, then you may need a break to let your body recover. The bottom line to know if it’s too much is to lis...

| New Cholesterol Guidelines |
| 2008-08-11 10:05:36 |
Cholesterol levels are directly linked to heart diseases. New clinical evidence has suggested that--at least in high-risk and moderate-risk patients--reducing LDL cholesterol to very low levels (i.e., to below 70 mg/dL instead of the currently recommended 100 -130 mg/dL) significantly reduces the risk of death and cardiovascular events.In response, the NCEP commented on this new information, publishing an update on the ATP III guidelines in 2004. In general, the ATP III guidelines now recommend that LDL cholesterol levels be brought below 100 mg/dL in high-risk and moderate risk patients. This compares to target levels below 130 mg/dL in the past.Specifically, the new recommendations are: For high-risk patients (t...

| Quit smoking |
| 2008-08-06 11:12:38 |
Smoking">Quit smoking- it can save your life. They shouldn't be called as cigarettes rather call cigarettes as "cancer sticks" and "coffin nails" for nothing. DO YOU KNOW? When you smoke, you're exposing yourself to more than 4,800 chemicals, including cyanide, benzene, and ammonia -- and at least 69 of those chemicals can cause cancer. Perhaps the best known is nicotine, an addictive compound that can make it ferociously hard to stop smoking.May be you can say smoking feel good, but you know it hurts every organ in your body. Middle-aged smokers have death rates three times higher than those of people in the same age range who have never smoked. You're at much greater risk of getting lung cancer than a nonsmoker. You're als...

| 2008-08-06 11:12:38 |
Smokers do not only harm themselves but also therenearby. Recently a study has been done which founded that Nonsmokers married to smokers have a greatly increased chance of having strokes, showing yet another hazard from secondhand smoke.Being married to a smoker raised the stroke risk by 42 percent in people who have never smoked compared to those married to someone who never smoked, the researchers said. This jumped to 72 percent for former smokers married to a current smoker, according to the study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. Quitting smoking helps your own health and also the health of the people living with you.Previous research had suggested that secondhand smoke increases the risk of s...

| New way of Quitting Smoking |
| 2008-08-06 11:12:38 |
| Researchers have found a region in the brains of rats that may be responsible for nicotine addiction. That's the reason why for some people, one cigarette is all it takes to become hooked on nicotine, while others are repelled by it.By manipulating specific molecular doorways into brain cells called receptors, they were able to control which rats in the study enjoyed their first exposure to nicotine and which were repelled by it. These findings may explain an individual's vulnerability to nicotine addiction and may point to new pharmacological treatments for the prevention of it and the treatment of nicotine withdrawal.One, published last October in the journal Pediatrics, found teens who felt relaxed after their first drags on a cigarette were far more likely to become addicted to

| Angiotensin-Receptor Blockers associated With Reduced Incidence of Dementia |
| 2008-08-01 12:51:12 |
Angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs) has found new use in reducing the progression of Dementia. This is what researchers have found when they compare the patients taking ARB and other cardiovascular medications. Patients who are taking angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs) for treatment of high blood pressure appear to have a reduced progression to Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, even when compared with patients taking angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors."Angiotensin-receptor blockers appear to be neuroprotective," said Benjamin Wolozin, MD, Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts.Full StorySubscribe to Medpharm by Email

| Uses of the Pores of the Skin |
| 2008-07-28 12:45:03 |
Many years ago, at a great celebration, a little boy was covered all over with varnish and gold leaf, so as to make him represent an angel. The little gilded boy looked very pretty for a short time, but soon he became very sick, and in a few hours he was dead. Can you guess what made him die?He died because the pores of his skin were stopped up, and the sweat glands could not carry off the poisonous matter from his body.Thats why taking bath is very essential especially in summers, even scrub bath is more helpful so that our pores get opened. These are the outlet for poisonous substances,salts from our body. Subscribe to Medpharm by Email

| Troponin Level Provides Outcome Information in Acute Heart Failure |
| 2008-07-28 12:34:13 |
Congestive heart failure or CHF, is a chronic condition in which the heart is not able to efficiently pump blood throughout the body. This often results in the gradual accumulation of fluid (edema) in various parts of the body over time. However, heart failure may be acute and potentially life-threatening when the failure of the heart to effectively pump blood results in a rapid accumulation of fluid in the lungs leading to difficulty breathing (dyspnea) and respiratory distress.It has been found that the level of cardiac troponin (an indicator of damage to heart muscle) in the blood identified patients at increased risk of dying during hospitalization for this condition. The study also found that patients with a positive troponin test were more likely to require intensive care and a lon...

| Pleiotropic Effects of Statins |
| 2008-07-28 04:00:16 |
While 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitors, also known as statins, have a well-established in role in the treatment and prevention of ischemic coronary artery disease, their utility in the setting of heart failure (HF) and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction remains under investigation. Although a reduction in LDL is the major effect of statin therapy, pleiotropic effects have been demonstrated, which could be responsible for the reduction in morbidity and mortality seen with statin use in patients with HF. Patients with both ischemic and nonischemic HF have been shown to have improved survival with statin therapy, and patients receiving statin therapy are less likely to develop HF.Studies have demonstrated that statins reduce inflamma...

| The HIV Risks of Breastfeeding |
| 2008-07-24 22:51:49 |
As we are all well familiar with the fact that breastfeeding is the only source of nutrition for newborns and babies. But besides providing nutrition to the newborns it can also transmit some infectious diseases. One of these is HIV. Breastfeeding and HIV does offer considerable risk to newborns. In fact, the risk of breastfeeding and HIV can be as high as 1 in 4 HIV infections if a baby is breastfed by an HIV+ mother.There are risks to breastfeeding from other illnesses too. It has been generally accepted that breastfeeding a newborn is extremely beneficial for the baby as well as for the mother. But there are circumstances which cast a shadow of doubt on that premise. Certain medical conditions make breastfeeding a health risk. Specifically, does ...

| Food diaries in helping lose weight |
| 2008-07-22 11:11:53 |
Keeping a track what you eat can help you lossing weight. Keeping a food diary -- a detailed account of what you eat and drink and the calories it packs -- is a powerful tool in helping people lose weight. Thus, it makes easy to control calories. For those who are working on weight loss, just writing down everything you eat is a pretty powerful technique of loosing weight. It helps us to monitor from where the extra calories are coming from, and then develop more specific plans to deal with those situations. Many of us are trying various measures for weight reduction but this is what i liked most because whatever we are loosing through vigorous exercises can be regained soon after taking more calories.

| Drinking tea may be good for your bones |
| 2008-07-22 00:52:48 |
Good news for elderly womens who drink tea more often. A new study shows elderly women who drank tea had higher bone density in their hips and less bone loss than women who didn't drink tea. Researchers say the results confirm previous studies that have suggested drinking tea may protect against bone loss and osteoporosis.In the study, Australian researchers surveyed 275 women between the ages of 70 and 85 who were participating in a larger five-year study of calcium supplements and osteoporosis about how much black and green tea (but not herbal teas) they drank. Bone density measurements of the hip were also taken at the beginning and end of the five-year study. The results, published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, showed that women who were regular tea drinkers had higher...

| Thalidomide Disaster |
| 2008-07-18 15:38:25 |
Thalidomide was a drug, which after years of extensive animal tests, was first marketed as an over-the-counter sedative: it came to be used by pregnant women in many countries during the late 1950s and early 1960s as a treatment for morning sickness.By the time the drug was banned, more than 10,000 children had been born with major thalidomide-related problems. A common pattern of limb deformities, termed phocomelia from the Greek word for 'seal limbs', emerged including shortening or missing arms with hands extending from the shoulders, absence of the thumb and the adjoining bone in the lower arm and similar problems with the lower extremities. The drug also caused abnormalities in the eyes, ears, heart, genitals, kidneys, digestive tract (including the lips and mouth), and nervous system.Now, it is introduced again for other indications but being teratogenic it is highly contraindicated in childbearing females.Subscribe to Medpharm by Email

| 2008-07-18 02:02:30 |
FDA informed healthcare professionals of the possibility that x-rays used during CT examinations may cause some implanted and external electronic medical devices to malfunction. Most patients with electronic medical devices undergo CT scans without any adverse consequences. However, the Agency has received a small number of reports of adverse events in which CT scans may have interfered with electronic medical devices, including pacemakers, defibrillators, neurostimulators, and implanted or externally worn drug infusion pumps. FDA is continuing to investigate the issue and is working with the manufacturer to raise awareness in the healthcare community.

| Diabetes makes people more vulnerable to TB |
| 2008-07-16 06:30:05 |
Diabetes is a mother of all diseases. This fact is again well established after a study which confirmed that diabetes sufferes are more prone to develope Tuberculosis. Diabetes makes a person about three times as likely to develop tuberculosis, and it may be to blame for more than 10 percent of TB cases in India and China, this is what researchers.There is evidence that diabetes predisposes people to TB infection and impairs their ability to respond to infection, Murray said. Tuberculosis is spread from one person to another when someone with active TB disease coughs or sneezes.The findings indicate global TB control efforts might benefit from giving extra attention to diabetics when dealing with people with latent TB in...

| Foods to Avoid to prevent Osteoporosis |
| 2008-07-15 01:58:25 |
Salt Is Bad for the BoneSalt can pose a great obstacle to a sturdy skeleton. Research has found that postmenopausal women with a high-salt diet lose more bone minerals than other women of the same age. Studies shown that regular table salt, not simply sodium, causes calcium loss, weakening bones with time. Getting the recommended amounts of calcium and vitamin D every day helps offset bone loss from salt.Adults up to age 50 require 1,000 milligrams of calcium daily -- the equivalent of three 8-ounce glasses of milk. Older adults need 1,200 milligrams of daily calcium – about half a glass more of milk. Good sources of vitamin D are natural sunlight and from fortified milk, egg yolks, saltwater fish, liver, and supplements.Of all the dangers to bone, salt is perhaps the hardest to curb. Sa...

| “Triple Whammy” effect |
| 2008-07-14 02:47:18 |
You may have seen the term “triple whammy” referred to in recent literature. The term describes a phenomenon in which a combination of frequently used medications, Ace- Inhibitors (ACE-I) or Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARB), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs, including aspirin) and/or diuretics, results in impaired renal function.Most of the patients attending general practices in our country were on a such a combination of medications, potentially leading to renal dysfunction.Two mechanisms are thought to primarily be involved in the pathogenesis of renal dysfunction and the “triple whammy” effect. Drugs that impact the renin-angiotensin system, as well as NSAIDs, decrease afferent arteriolar vasodilation. Diuretics decrease plasma volume. Synergistically, these me...

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued new information about an increased risk of suicide in patients taking antiepileptic medications to treat epilepsy, bipolar disorder, migraines, and other conditions. The FDA analyzed 199 placebo-controlled studies of 11 antiepileptic medications and determined that taking these medications significantly increased the risk of suicide. An estimated 2.1 per 100 (95% CI: 0.7, 4.2) more patients in the drug treatment group experienced suicidal behavior or ideation than in the placebo treatment groups (0.43% of patients taking an antiepileptic medication compared to 0.22% of patients taking placebo)2.

Change your toothbrush every three to four months, or sooner if the bristles are no longer straight. As with toothbrushes, the type of paste you use isn't nearly as important as how well you use it. Use any paste you want, as long as it contains fluoride.you have 32 teeth to clean. This is not a 10-second job. Place your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle along the gumline. Using a circular motion, gently rub your brush back and forth across every surface of your teeth -- the tops, the backs, the sides, the front. Don't forget to brush along the gumline and behind your back teeth.You should floss your teeth once every day, preferably before going to bed. Flossing removes hard-to-reach particles between teeth that can combine with bacteria to cause plaque and tartar. It's your best protection,...

| 2008-07-11 09:55:06 |
While prescribing doctors pay attention towards drug-drug interactions that are necessary also, as we one drug can increase the toxicity of other drugs while other can decrease or neutralise. Food can also hamper the activity of drugs in our body. Food can drastically change with the way drugs act in the body. Grapefruit juice, for example, blocks enzymes that metabolize certain drugs like calcium channel blockers, leaving higher levels of medication in the bloodstream. If you drink alcohol regularly, you may also need to be careful about taking over-the-counter pain relievers. Having three or more alcohol drinks each day puts you at risk for liver damage if you take acetaminophen (Tylenol), and taking aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen with alcohol can lead t...

| Heart-Healthy Walnuts |
| 2008-07-10 09:57:18 |
I was reading a article which suggests that a handful of walnuts can help protect our arteries against the "shock" of a high-saturated-fat meal. Both the olive oil and the walnuts reduced the sudden onset of inflammation and oxidation in the participants’ arteries after eating the high-fat meal. But the arteries of those eating the walnuts stayed more flexible than those consuming the olive oil—regardless of the volunteers’ cholesterol level. Researchers attribute the difference to the fact that walnuts contain alpha-linolenic acid, a plant-based omega-3 fatty acid. Among other things, omega-3 fatty acids help boost artery-clearing HDL cholesterol and reduce inflammation. Walnuts also contain L-Arginine, an amino acid that the body uses to produce n...

| Role of TNF in Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis |
| 2008-07-09 10:18:33 |
Psoriasis is an immunologically mediated, hyperproliferative disorder. T cells and cytokines play central roles in the pathophysiology of psoriasis with TNF-α as an essential primary cytokine for cellular signaling during the immune responses. Continued unregulated production of TNF-α as seen in the chronic inflammation of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis can lead to the consequences of tissue disruption, joint injury, and excessive keratinocyte proliferation by the mechanisms stated above. By self-perpetuated upregulation of receptors, TNF-α creates a positive feedback loop, amplifying and maintaining the inflammatory process within psoriatic plaques. TNF-α induces chemokines that find increased receptors on inflammatory lymphocytes in psoriasis. ...

| Cytoadhesion-interruption therapies in fight against Malaria |
| 2008-07-09 05:51:17 |
Do you know every year, nearly 2 million children die from infection with Plasmodium falciparum malaria. When red blood cells (RBC) become infected with malaria, a sticky parasite-derived knob protein, termed PfEMP-1, erupts on the RBC surfaces. PfEMP-1 attaches to several blood group molecules, including those found on other RBC, on blood vessels, and on the cells that normally help to stop bleeding (platelets). The cellular sticking results in a dangerous interruption in blood flow to vital organs, causing brain injury (cerebral malaria), systemic shock (lactic acidosis), and death. Depending on an individual's inherited blood groups of relevance, adhesion may be extensive or limited. In the laboratory, PfEMP-1 adheres to RBCs via the A or B (but not th...

| 2008-07-06 01:39:54 |
A hazardous waste is one that can cause or contribute to death or illness or that threatens human health or the environment when improperly managed.Hazardous wastes are divided into four types: reactive, flammable, toxic, and corrosive. A reactive waste tends to react spontaneously or to react vigorously with air or water. A flammable waste burns readily on ignition, presenting a fire hazard. A toxic waste contains or releases toxic substances in quantities sufficient to pose a hazard to human health or to the environment.A corrosive waste is one that requires special containers because it corrodes conventional container materials. The best way to handle hazardous wastes is not to produce them in the first place. This is a major focus of green chemistry processes. If a hazardous waste can...

So,below are some of the major factors that are responsible for weight gain. You Might Be Gaining Weight Because of Lack of SleepThe body functions best when well rested. When you don't get enough sleep, your body experiences physiological stress and, biochemically, you store fat more efficiently.When you're tired, you also don't handle stress as well, so you may reach for food as a coping mechanism. Further, you may be taking in extra calories from late-night snacking. Some people think eating might help them get back to sleep, but all it really does is add more calories to their daily total.Symptoms t...
