Knowledge / ~~adrenal gland tumors~~
« on: May 27, 2010, 04:42:56 PM »
Adrenal gland tumors

Two rare types of tumors of the adrenal glands are less common, secondary causes of hypertension(high blood pressure). The adrenal glands sit right on top of the kidneys. Both of these tumors produce excessive amounts of adrenal hormones that cause high blood pressure. These tumors can be diagnosed from blood tests, urine tests, and imaging studies of the adrenal glands. Surgery is often required to remove these tumors or the adrenal gland (adrenalectomy), which usually relieves the hypertension.

One of the types of adrenal tumors causes a condition that is called primary hyperaldosteronism because the tumor produces excessive amounts of the hormone aldosterone. In addition to the hypertension, this condition causes the loss of excessive amounts of potassium from the body into the urine, which results in a low level of potassium in the blood. Hyperaldosteronism is generally first suspected in a person with hypertension when low potassium is also found in the blood. (Also, certain rare genetic disorders affecting the hormones of the adrenal gland can cause secondary hypertension.)

The other type of adrenal tumor that can cause secondary hypertension is called a pheochromocytoma. This tumor produces excessive catecholamines, which include several adrenaline-related hormones. The diagnosis of a pheochromocytoma is suspected in individuals who have sudden and recurrent episodes of hypertension that are associated with flushing of the skin, rapid heart beating (palpitations), and sweating, in addition to the symptoms associated with high blood pressure.

If I were the moon,
I would light a path to my heart,
When you're feeling dark and stormy
And your world is falling apart.

If I were the rain,
I would wash away your doubt,
Flood your world with happiness
And show you what love is about.

If I were the sun,
I would dry up all your tears,
Your loneliness with despair,
And all your remaining fears.

If I were the wind,
I would blow you a kiss,
Tug on your heart,
And give you someone to miss.

If I were the cold,
I would freeze you for the day,
Sit and admire your beauty
In every possible way.

But I'm just a man,
A husband, lover, and friend,
The love I feel for you,
Doesn't have an end.

News Khabran / ~~Diet soda for preventing kidney stones?~~
« on: May 19, 2010, 03:25:20 PM »
Reuters Health

By Amy Norton

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Certain diet sodas may have the potential to prevent the most common type of kidney stone, if new lab research is correct.

In the study, researchers found that the diet versions of several popular citrus-flavored sodas -- like 7Up, Sunkist and Sprite -- contained relatively high amounts of a compound called citrate. Citrate, in turn, is known to inhibit the formation of calcium oxalate stones, the most common form of kidney stone.

The findings, reported in the Journal of Urology, suggest that diet sodas could stand as an extra weapon for some people prone to forming kidney stones.

Kidney stones develop when the urine contains more crystal-forming substances -- such as calcium, uric acid and a compound called oxalate -- than can be diluted by the available fluid. Most kidney stones are calcium-based, usually in combination with oxalate.

One reason that certain people are prone to being "stone-formers" is that their urine contains relatively little citrate, explained Dr. Brian H. Eisner, a urologist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and the lead researcher on the new study.

Potassium citrate supplements have long been a common treatment for preventing calcium oxalate stones, as well as another type of stone called uric acid stones, in people who are prone to them. And in a study 10 years ago, one of Eisner's fellow researchers found that a homemade lemonade concoction was effective at raising stone-formers'

urine citrate levels.

Exactly how effective "lemonade therapy" is at preventing stones remains unclear, but some doctors do recommend it to patients, according to Eisner.

The goal of the current study, he told Reuters Health, was to see whether any commercially available drinks had a similar citrate content as the homemade lemonade. The researchers chose diet soda, rather than regular, to avoid the high sugar and calorie content of the former.

Overall, the study found, citrus-based diet sodas -- including 7Up, Sunkist Orange, Sprite, Fresca and Canada Dry ginger ale -- had somewhat higher citrate levels than the homemade lemonade.

Dark colas, on the other hand, had little to no citrate.

Whether citrus-flavored diet sodas can actually help prevent kidney stones is still unknown. Eisner said he and his colleagues are currently conducting a study to try to answer that question.

For now, the researcher said he is not advocating that stone-formers "run out and get diet soda." However, he pointed out that patients are routinely advised to get 2 to 3 liters of water or other fluids each day.

"If drinking these sodas helps people reach that goal, then that may be a good thing," Eisner said.

He added that even in people who do not have naturally low urinary citrate levels, moderate amounts of the diet sodas are unlikely to do harm as far as stone formation goes. Many sodas do contain some sodium and/or caffeine; but again, Eisner and his colleagues say, when it comes to stone formation, there is no evidence that the sodium and caffeine levels in diet soda would present a risk.

TUESDAY, May 18  --A specific grouping of three markers on the surface of breast cancer cells has been linked to a particularly aggressive, but relatively rare form of cancer called "estrogen receptor-negative" cancer, new research reveals.

The finding is considered to be preliminary but the identification of these markers -- labelled XIC -- could be important because this form of cancer is particularly difficult to treat, the study team notes.

"We are excited but cautious at the prospect that the presence of the XIC markers on [these types of] breast cancer cells may present a selective target for early detection imaging and for personalized therapy," Barbara K. Vonderhaar, scientist emeritus of the Mammary Biology and Tumorigenesis Laboratory at the National Cancer Institute, explained in a news release.

Vonderhaar and her colleagues report the finding in the May 18th online issue of Cancer Research.

No specific therapies exist that can directly target this type of tumor, the authors note. That means the only means of treatment currently available is generalized chemotherapy, which can kill healthy cells as well as tumor cells and thereby render the option intolerable for some patients.

Vonderhaar and her colleagues were able to isolate the XIC marker cells by testing human breast cancer cells taken from four different patients. They observed that such cells had the ability to form tumors after being injected into the mammary glands of immune-compromised mice.

The research team found that estrogen receptor-negative cancer was present when the three particular markers they uncovered were all present simultaneously.

Down the road, the authors hope to determine whether or not the same XIC marker combination might also similarly identify the more easily treatable estrogen receptor-positive form of breast cancer.

Knowledge / ~~vegetarians and Heart Disease~~
« on: May 11, 2010, 06:15:21 PM »
Vegetarians and Heart Disease

There is increased risk of developing a heart disease in individuals with high blood cholesterol levels and other ailments such as high blood pressure and diabetes. The predominance of these risk factors in causing heart disease is very low in vegetarians. This is because of the impact of vegetarian diet they consume. Vegetarian diet is low in total fat, saturated fat and cholesterol. However, the benefits of vegetarian diet cannot be enjoyed by having a diet that is rich in calories.

Vegetarians have regulated levels of blood cholesterol levels. Even individuals with high cholesterol levels can cut down their levels by having pure vegetarian diet for a prolonged period of time. It is found that consumption of rye bread for about a month reduces the blood cholesterol levels to normal levels. Intake of herb named psyllium that is rich in fiber causes the blood cholesterol levels to drop by about four percent. Increased intake of fruits, vegetables and whole grain foods also provides good amount of fiber to the body. In addition, these foods are rich in vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that are essential for maintaining perfect health.

Vegetarian diet also helps to regulate the blood pressure levels at optimum levels. Regular intake of pomegranates helps to maintain the blood pressure. Maintaining the blood cholesterol levels reduces the chances of having a stroke.

Due to lowered blood cholesterol levels, vegetarians are also at low risk of developing the problem of obesity which is a major risk factor for heart disease. The lean personality of the vegetarians also reduces the chances of suffering another major risk factor for heart disease and diabetes.

Having a vegetarian diet reduces the incidence of plaques in the arteries like atherosclerosis, a debilitating heart disease. Certain plant foods such as soy protein, garlic and purple grapes have antithrombotic factors that prevent formation of blood clots, the major cause for atherosclerosis.

The major benefit of having a vegetarian diet is due to having increased amounts of dietary fiber and lowered amounts of animal fat that is rich in high density lipoproteins that are bound to increase the blood cholesterol levels. However, to enjoy the benefits of a vegetarian diet, men should have control over their alcohol consumption.

To retain the nutritive value of vegetarian foods, it is essential to take certain measures while cooking. Reduce the use of oil that is rich in fats while cooking vegetables. Use cooking methods such as broiling, steaming and poaching to retain the nutritive value of the vegetarian foods. It is also essential to take fat free dairy products rather than completely cutting them to meet the calcium needs of the body.

In addition to following a healthy vegetarian diet, it is essential to take care while purchasing outside foods. Make it a habit to read the food labels before purchasing and avoid foods with high fat content. Even if you are dining out, choose foods that are low in fat.

By following a strict vegetarian diet and regular practice of simple workouts, you can easily overcome the heart diseases.

The Difference Between Cardiac Arrest and a Heart Attack

 
Whopping number of individuals suffer from heart diseases today. Apart from our loved ones, we often encounter news about celebrities falling prey to this horrendous ailment. Doctors often describe "cardiac arrest" or "heart attack" as the cause of the sudden demise. For a layperson, both these terms carry the same meaning. We all believe that both these conditions have similar meaning, but different names.

However, the general belief has no connection with reality. In medical language, both these terms have different meaning. Medically, heart attack denotes some kind of damage to the heart muscles due to shortage of blood flow. In other words, this condition arises due to blood clotting in the arteries, thereby resulting into chest pain and other symptoms, which eventually causes death.

On the other hand, cardiac arrest occurs due to some mysterious reasons, wherein our heart fails to pump blood. When this happens, our muscles and other body organs do not receive required amount of blood for bodily functions and survival. Our heart gets weak, and it starts pumping at an unsafe rate, thereby resulting into death in most cases.

Both the situations can have fatal consequences on our health, the worst case scenario being death. As such, cardiac arrest is more common amongst individuals who have already suffered from some kind of heart diseases in the past.

The recent demise of the pop king, Michael Jackson, had raised many eyebrows about the cause of his death. Trickling news report offered contradictory information. Some new sources cited cardiac arrest as the cause of death, others had published heart attack as the cause of death. Eventually, cardiac arrest was declared as the main culprit for the demise of the Pop King. Certain drugs can trigger cardiac arrest amongst individuals, especially those with weak immune system. We all know that Michael Jackson was dangerously underweight for almost a decade or so, and was on heavy drugs as well.

There are plenty of causes that can lead to the onset of cardiac arrest and heart attack. Goes without saying, proper health care is a must to keep oneself immune to these ailments. It’s always advisable to resort to preventive measures, rather than waiting for the arrival of the ailment and then fighting back. After all, forewarned means being forearmed.

If your family members have fallen prey to this ailment, then do check with the doctor about the exact cause of death. Remember, your chances of getting affected by heart diseases are elevated, if your family has a history of such episodes. Seeking as much information as you can will help you take preventive measures to curb or eliminate the cause of this ailment.

Heart attack and cardiac arrests are usually accompanied by several noticeable symptoms. In most cases, victims might experience mild or severe chest pain. Do keep the helpline number handy to make a quick call, whenever the situation goes out of control. Timely help can potentially save your life!

Knowledge / ~~obesity in children is ballooning~~

Obesity in Children is Ballooning [/color]
With obesity threatening the long-term health of 6 million American children and another 5 million children tottering on the edge, the U.S. Surgeon General has declared that childhood obesity is at epidemic levels.

One child in three is now either overweight or at risk of becoming so. Combine this rise in obesity with the many cutbacks in physical education and recess at American schools, and it is clear that children are not getting the nutritional guidance and physical exercise that they desperately need.

Of particular concern is the stress this trend will place on U.S. health care in the years to come. Overweight adolescents are extremely likely to be obese adults, and the resulting illnesses -- diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and several cancers -- will cost hundreds of billions in medical expenses and lost productivity.


What can adults do to stem this growing national health hazard? There are several ways to have a positive influence on the health and weight of today's youth.
Limit time in front of the television and computer! A study of 192 third and fourth graders found that those who limited screen time to one hour a day were measurably leaner after nine months than those who watched as much TV as they wanted.
Lobby local schools to maintain recess and physical education programs. The number of programs being cut is alarming; fewer than half of the nation's schools offer physical education!
Encourage nutrition education, both at home and in school. And remember that learning about appropriate quantities is as important as learning about the nutritional quality of foods. Focus on making healthy choices rather than restricting foods.
Be an active role model and look for ways to promote physical activity in children. It doesn't have to be organized or competitive. Go for walks, play tag, ride bikes, turn on some music and dance. Make exercise a regular part of every day.
Try this stair stepping exercise. All that is needed is an exercise bench or a stair step. Begin by standing close to the platform, stepping up on top with a flat foot. Bring the second foot on top next to the first foot. Step down, one foot at a time.

Avoid allowing the heels to hang off the edge of the step. Start with an initial goal of five minutes and gradually increase.

Love Pyar / ~~dreams come true~~
« on: April 21, 2010, 05:12:09 PM »
If I could have my dreams come true
These are the things I'd like to do.
To have a cabin deep in the woods,
And someone to share both the bad and the good.

We'd lie by the fireplace,forever it seems,
And share with each other our future of dreams.
As we tire of talking,we'd snuggle up close,
These are the times, I'd cherish the most.

The times when I feel so close to someone,
Who gives me such pleasure and so much fun.
Who isn't afraid of what the future may bring,
And share so much love, that our hearts sing.

Sometimes I wonder will my dreams come true?
And I ask myself, could it be with you?
I don't have the answer, atleast not to share,
I'm afraid if I share them, you wouldn't care.

So, until the time comes, when the timing is right,
I'll cherish our time everyday and night.
And if in the future, our dreams become one,
Then I'll know that my dreams has only begun.

To have you beside me, through the rough seas and good,
I know we'd make magic, I'm sure that we could.
For you are my soul mate, I believe in my heart,
And to get to our dreams, we must first make a start.

So, please take my hand, and don't be afraid,
I believe that together, our cabin will be made.
I'll never doubt my feelings for you,
And if you return them, all our dreams can come true.

Success

Success is the best
For those who don’t rest,
But of those who aim high
But till not succeed, God known why?
It requires sorest need;
For the demands they are to meet.

They work harder and harder.
So they are able to cross the success border.
Once if the success is denied,
They go for another try.
They still do not resist.
The temptation to quit.

In the competitive world.
It needs tremendous determination and
dedication to climb the ladder of success.
As success is the motto today
In their mission when they succeed
Nothing else do they need.
