Fri, 06 May 2011 21:03:01 +0300

New York (AP) report a fantastic news about the well-known medicine of Drugmaker Phizer Inc Viagra. The European commission has approved Viagra for treating children with pulmonary arterial hypertension. The disease called pulmonary arterial hypertension stands for high blood pressure in lung arteries, and it is a rather difficult and life threatening condition.

Happily, the use of Viagra for high blood pressure in lung arteries has been approved, and so the children fro 1 to 17 years old can be treated with Viagra, and this can save their life. The medicine has been approved for such treatment after the study relised that a sildenafil citrate (an active ingredient of Viagra) reduced blood pressure in lung arteries and helped children breathe and function better.

By the way, Viagra has been approved for adults with lung condition a long time ago, soon after it has been approved for treatment of erectile dysfunction in men. This event has happened in 1998, and after this Viagra quickly became a blockbuster due to it's fantastic effectiveness in treatment of conditions named above.

Treatment from radiation or nuclear death?

Sun, 20 Mar 2011 14:28:57 +0200

Only 50 heroic japanese men form actually the last defence line between the nuclear apocalipse and the whole world. Five of them are dead, 22 have been heavily injured, two have disappeared.

They breath through the inconvinient respirators and let the deadly radiation into their bodies to stop the radiation.

The radiation now is in the ocean, so it is better not to eat seafoods, because it all can contain radiation. Another threat is that the radiation can be blown by wind from Japan to different countries of the world, and this depends on weather.

The healthcare ministry of Japan has increased the maximum amount of radiation, which every person who works near the reactor can obtain from 100 to 250. This means that the people can stay at that place for a longer time, but it is clear that all these people carry a great risk. First of all, it is the risk of death from leukemia, and other types of blood cancer. Tokio Electric still keeps silence about the names of these heroes, about how often they change each other. We don't see their faces, but know that the people who are going to Fukusima say goodbye to their families. Some of them are contractors, some are just people of good will.

The experts say that situation in Fukusima is worse then it was in Chernobyl, and the world can be in a big trouble very soon.

However, the american scientists told that they have developed a medication, which helps the normal body cells overcome the action of radiation. The medicine has been named CBLB502. Now it is being tested on animals, and very soon it will be available in US. The action of medicine is based on mechanism of blocking the protein which starts the process of cell death because of radiation. The medicine has no side effects, and can be used in case of anti-cancer therapy to prevent death of normal cells, and in case of nuclear threats like the threat from Japan today.

Japan's Nuclear Threat

Tue, 15 Mar 2011 23:14:17 +0200

The nuclear threat from Japanese disaster is terrifying the whole world, and many people think how to save their health, and the health of the children. Here are tips from the doctor James Kelly, who agreed to guide us on the way to save the health from radiation.

'The experience of Chernobyl tragedy has shown that the nuclear radiation is being spread very fast, and soon it will be able to affect people all over the world. So it is necessary to gather everything that is able to reduce your sensibility to radiation', Dr. Kelly says.

Food and food additives from radiation

First of all, pay attention to foods you eat. It is necessary that you add protective supplements like Calcium, Coenzyme Q10, and Vitamin A to your daily foods. Unfortunately, radiation is able to destroy vitamins A,C, E and K very fast. Another important vitamins to add are Vitamin C, Selenium, Vitamin E, and Zink. People who have small amounts of these Vitamins in their bodies, can be hurt with radiation faster than others.

The most protective foods are dried sea vegetables, natural fresh juices, natural bee pollen, chlorella, DHEA, Melatonin. By the way, chlorella is one of the most important food that fights with radiation in humans body.

Clothes and lifestyle to avoid radiation

To avoid excessive radiation hazard, you can use this simple advise: do not sunbathe in the following 30 days. Do not expose yourself to radiation hazard - don't smoke, and do not accept any alcohols, because alcohol can easily destroy the defense system of your body.

New medicines for potency are helpful from cancer

Thu, 24 Feb 2011 00:31:16 +0200

Researchers from VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland have made a
new discovery: the potential drug prevent prostate cancer cell growth.
There were four metabolic enzymes discovered that regulate the growth
of cancer cells in prostate. This especially concern cultured cells,
and the inhibition of these enzymes is the base for preventing
prostate cancer.

If you are also concerned about the question of preventing the
prostate cancer, do not avoid animal foods, such as meat and eggs,
because there are eicosanoid hormones in them, which are metabolites
of arachidonic acid, and play essential role in regulation of body
functions, including the metabolic function. The dysfunction in
metabolism of bioactive is the reason of many diseases including the
prostate cancer.
The study which was performed by scientists of Finland discovered the
new mechanism of influencing on prostate cells.
Hundreds of normal prostate cells and other tissues were analyzed
during the study, and the enzymes with highest action on prostate
cancer were selected for the second study period.
Some of them were more active for fight with prostate cancer than
other, and this is a fantastic breakthrough for fighting the prostate
cancer.
This great discovery has been published in The February issue of The
American Journal of Pathology, pages 525-536. In some years we hope to
see new potency medicines that fight prostate cancer, too.

The beginning of Allergic Season

Wed, 14 Apr 2010 14:47:10 +0300

It is a difficult time to about 35+ million of Americans wich suffer from seasonal allergies.
Now in april the tree pollen are spreading out sprinkling the yellow dust on roads, houses, windows and finally in nasal cavities.
As the spring begins it's warming, the weather is hot and sunny which leads to varieties of outdoor activies and increase in symptoms such as watery eyes, itchy throat, sneezing, congestion, runny nose etc.

The main cause of seasonal allergies are pollens spreaded by the wind.
Allergic reaction might be set by pollens landed in a person's skin, nose, lungs. The process stars when pollen is present in the air.
A hude amount of culprits will spring up after the rains, this month's trees to the grass and weeds.
Until the cold weather moves back in, mold will also rear its ugly spore-head sometime this summer.

There is a few steps how the allergy sufferers can reduce the pollens exposure.

Keep all doors, windows closed to prevent those pollens getting to your home.
Reduce your activity between 5-10a.m. cause of highest pollens levels in that part of the day.
While traveling keep your car windows closed.
Try to find out what types of pollen is found in your area, and of course stay indoors on windy day when the pollen count is high, because it might be presented in huge amounts in the air.
Look after clothing and bedding. Laundry hung outside to dry may collect pollen.
During the pollen season try to move to a more pollen-freee area or take a vacation,for example sea beach.

If it comes to doctors recomendations you should protect yourself before you go outside or have a flare-up using nasal sprays, eye drops or other allergy medications.
There is a varietis of drugs you make take for treatment such as Benadryl, Allegra, Clarinex, Zyrtec, Veramys, Flonase, Rhinocort, Nasonex and Beconase.
Special drugs that combine antihistamines and decongestants like Claritin-D,Zyrtec-D or Alegra-D. Nasal and oral decongestants like Afrin, Sudafed and Dristan.

You may start an immunotherapy if symptoms are not controlled by medications in other word to start allergy shots.
Allergy shots can reduce the symptoms in up to 85% of patients reported by The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology.
A lot of people experience significant relief within the first year but often treatment occurs over a 3 to 5 year time span.

All the other ways how to solve the problem toy may discuss with your health care provider including the use of treatments.

Bubblegum helps restore bowel function after Caesarean

Sat, 05 Sep 2009 01:43:26 +0300

Very simple but effective way to restore bowel function after a cesarean section is a gum chewing, preferably without sugar. In the study, Egyptian scientists found that gum makes the process quicker recovery, and women were ready to be discharged earlier from a hospital.
As after any surgery on the abdomen, the intestine function can be broken if a woman bears through caesarean section. In this case the woman may suffer from bloating and constipation. Egyptian scientists originally came to the solution of this problem: they offer to their patients chew the gum. The fact is that chewing is a reaction of the nervous system which produces digestive hormones that stimulate the activity of the intestine.
The study was attended by 200 women who underwent surgery under general anesthesia. Half of them were given to chew the gum two hours after the operation, and the rest were used standard measures, such as walking, in order to get the bowels working again. Women from the first group asked to chew gum for 15 minutes every two hours, and the result was that they had recovered bowel function faster. On average, they were able to empty the bowels through the 21 hours after surgery, whereas women from the second group took 30 hours. Women who chewed gum were discharged from hospital after an average of 41 hours after birth, and the patient from the second group went home within 50 hours after surgery.
While it remains unclear, whether gum chewing will be useful in more developed countries, where women used to make local anesthesia during cesarean section. Local anesthesia, including epidural, may affect the activation of the nervous system during chewing. That is why; there should be conducted additional studies to determine the effect of chewing on the recovery of women bowel function.

Daily aspirin intake is harmful to the health

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 17:06:32 +0300

After a new study, the British experts claim that healthy people who regularly take aspirin to prevent heart attack, can bring their health more harm than benefit.
Scientists have found that the risk of bleeding when taking aspirin daily for a long-term is such that its use as a preventive measure on a regular basis should be regarded as undesirable.
Today, there is a discussion between experts on the theme of the aspirin use in patients with vascular problems.
The results of this study added new evidence to the oldest scientific debate about whether the potential risk associated with aspirin exceed the benefits resulting from reducing the risk of blood clots while its admission. Research was conducted by professor Gerry Fowkes from the Center for the Prevention of vascular disease in Edinburgh, Scotland.
The results were presented at the Congress of the European Cardiology Community in Barcelona. The study involved 3350 men and women aged 50 to 75 years. All of them were given either 100 mg of aspirin per day, or placebo. The patients have been under control over 8 years. During this time, no differences in the incidence of heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular diseases between two groups were observed. However, copious bleeding occurred in 2% of patients from the group receiving aspirin and only 1,2% of the placebo group.

Mite's saliva contains a cure for cancer?

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 13:52:50 +0300

In saliva of widespread in South America mite Amblyomma cajennense Brazilian scientists have discovered a protein, which apparently reduces or even completely kills cancer cells without affecting healthy cells at the same time.
The expert said that during the study, she stopped on the properties of the protein known as Factor X active.
She has been testing anti COAGULATION properties of mite's saliva and watched as it prevents the increase in the density of blood and prevents it from congealing. This protein is in some ways similar to the common anti-coagulant ITP (an inhibitor of tissue factor). The assumption that the protein may affect the cancer cells, lead to laboratory tests on cell cultures.
This test exceeded the most optimistic expectations. It was noticed, that the saliva did not kill normal cells, which are also involved in the experiment. But it had killed only the cancer cells.
In a modest lab the mites are located in a row, and under each head is a straw for saliva sucking. The tiny amount of saliva, reproduce many times in order to be enough for experiments with cancer laboratory rats. The results are very promising. Nevertheless, in order to improve this discovery it's needed a lot of money and years of clinical trials. Unfortunately, neither one nor the other Brazil can not afford.

Mobile phones cause brain tumors

Sun, 30 Aug 2009 13:25:40 +0300

A recently published health report "Cell phones and brain tumors: 15 reasons for the unrest, the whole truth about the Interphone" emphasizes the following:
1) the risk of brain tumors is increased, when using cell phone
2) investigate the influence of cellular phones on the risk of brain tumors, funded by the companies providing cellular, underestimate the risks associated with the use of cell phones
3) children are at greater risk of developing brain tumors than adults.
At the report, sent to the Governments of many countries and the press, experts draw attention to the shortcomings of studies conducted by cellular communication companies.
Lloyd Morgan, the lead author of the study, said that irradiation of cellular phones - the biggest experiment in the health sphere among all ever held.
Without any "informed consent", the organizers involved into experiment about 4 billion people. Science has demonstrated that the use of cell phones increases the risk of brain tumors, eye cancer, cancer of the salivary glands, testicular cancer, lymphoma and leukemia.

Found bacterium - the causer of colon cancer

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 17:15:00 +0300

Researchers from Johns Hopkins University, United States, argue that the bacterium which causes diarrhea in children and adults can cause colon cancer. Their study showed that strains of Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) affect immune cells, and this leads to inflammation of the colon tissues. This inflammation is considered to be precancerous.
According to immunologist Dr. Drew Pardoll, infection leads to a slight inflammatory process, which is present for a long time.
As it was noticed, ETBF bacterium presents in the intestine of 20-35% adults and children, and in 40% of people with colon cancer. Scientists believe that bacterium may interact with other intestine microorganisms and cause the development of cancerous tumors.
Currently unknown whether using standard antibiotics help to control the Bacteroides fragilis. However, scientists hope that their discovery will help to create new drugs. In the future, they believe, will develop vaccines and drugs that can neutralize the toxicity of the bacteria and prevent inflammation.
Experiments conducted on mice with the gene that causes colon cancer, and their results were published in the Nature Medicine journal.
