They are in many workplaces. Vending machines with food and drink are an easy resource for food between meals or meal stronger. The problem is that normally are used unhealthy options such as pastries and sweets.However, behind these windows there are more options, maybe not so visible. Researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital (USA) have established a simple and cheap with that have made these machines users opt for healthier products.

What is the first thing you choose when you go to the vending machine of your work? You might think that this is a voluntary choice, and perhaps capricious. But when choosing a snack should be aware that marketing affects our brain and the products placed at eye level are usually end finally in their hands.

An example of that can turn the tables without great expense is the initiative that publishes the journal ‘American Journal of Public Health’ .Over nine months, nutritionists and marketing experts from Massachusetts General Hospital (USA) established a series of measures in the hospital cafeteria. The intervention was conducted in two phases. In the first, set a color code for food and drinks . Thus, the products (food or drink) containing more calories and saturated fat had a red sticker, which were atan intermediate level, yellow , and those who were healthier, a green one.

This measure was added the implementation of some informational signs explaining what the color code meant and how often a product could be consumed for each color and the difference in calories between the two.For example, drinks with a red sticker containing 200 or more calories , whole milk dairy products, or five or more grams of saturated fat per package.

Six months later, the researchers decided to conduct the second phase of the program that focused on cold drinks, sandwiches and fried preparations. In this sense, we reorganized the five had cooled machines in the cafeteria for healthier products (water, diet drinks and low fat dairy products) is level with the eyes of users, most caloric beverages below of these. In addition, water bottles were placed on all machines, previously only in two of the five existing and five baskets were placed more water next to the food.

On the other hand, vegetable sandwiches were placed in a visible place, above or at eye level. And other fried potatoes were located in two adjacent shelves, and put the yellow label over those with red sticker.

After analyzing the data at the end of follow-up period (nine months) was observed during the Phase I product sales with red sticker fell by 9.2% and red drinks, 16.5%. To this is added the decline occurred during the second phase, 4.9% for males and 11.4% for the latter. The green food consumption rose by 4.5% and health drinks 9.6% during the first period, promotion followed in the second set of measures with 0.8% and 4% respectively.

“Our results show that a simple intervention based on color-coded label product sales increased and decreased health of the least healthy in a cafe in a large hospital without changing the price and variety of products. An intervention on the choice architecture improves the visibility of health products and implemented the effectiveness of such labeling. These initiatives could be transferred easily to other food environments, “say the authors in their study.

Salt, fat and sugar jump to the front of food labels

Posted: 01 Feb 2012 07:04 AM PST

Two years of negotiations have been Ministers of Health of the EU to arrive, finally, to the approval of a new rule that will force the food industry to elaborate on the labels of foods and drinks sugar content, salt and fat clear and legible. The regulation aims to combat obesity by giving consumers the information necessary to opt for a healthy diet.

It serves well the demands of scientific societies, including the Spanish Food Safety Agency (AESAN), but after many discussions in the text is something ‘decaffeinated’, as it leaves the alcohol free and leaves room for maneuver to each country to organize the label at will, provided it meets minimum requirements.

The standard, which is now sent to the Parliament for processing and are not expected to come fully into force until 2013, has enjoyed the support of all countries except Italy . “This is a very important step after all the discussions we have had since 2008,” recognizes ELMUNDO.es Roberto Sabrido, president of the AESAN.

Specifically, the rule requires details on the package the contents ofenergy, fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates, with specific reference to sugars, proteins and salt per 100 ml or 100 g, but may also be indicated as a percentage of the amount recommended daily allowance.

The information must be legible in a font size of 1.2 mm at least, a Spanish-proposal, although exceptions for small packs. Also, you can add additional information voluntarily on issues such as cholesterol or fiber.They must also appear on the label allergenic substances (such as peanuts, milk, mustard or fish), which until now only applied to prepackaged foods.

Issues that fall outside

However it has opted for a uniform label for all member states, but each left free to decide how to put the information. One aspect that does not convince Sabrido he thinks “it would be better to reach a joint label and a harmonized system would avoid consumer confusion.”

Neither law applies to wine, beer, liquor and flavored alcoholic beverages.They serve well the demands of countries like Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Portugal, Greece, Bulgaria, Austria, Cyprus and Romania, which from the start of negotiations requested that the wine is out of the norm.However, the Commission shall report within five years to assess whether or not to include wine. Also exempt unpackaged foods , unless the Member State concerned decides otherwise.

The new regulation introduces the obligation to indicate on the label the origin of meat other than beef , for which he had called this requirement, a point that Spain and other countries-Germany, Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands, also noted their disagreement because there has been no prior impact assessment to determine the economic effects and the effect of the measure in the market.

“Mandatory labeling seems discriminatory, since it does not use the same criteria as for the rest of products for those who did made an impact assessment,” said Roberto Sabrido. In three years, Brussels must submit a report evaluating the ability to bind also to indicate the place of origin in other products (milk, milk used as an ingredient, meat used as an ingredient, unprocessed foods or products made with one ingredient

Alcohol consumption leads to abdominal obesity

Posted: 01 Feb 2012 01:58 AM PST

The continuous intake of alcohol is associated with abdominal obesity, which in turn implies greater risk of death in adults , according to the findings of a study reported by the Department of Information and Science News (SINC).

The results of the study, published in the ‘European Journal of Clinical Nutrition , suggest that alcohol consumption throughout life produces abdominal adiposity with increased waist circumference. Moreover, in men, causing general obesity with increased body mass index (BMI).

The research, conducted over nine years, collected a sample of 258,177 individuals between 25 and 70, from France, Italy, Greece, Holland, Germany, Sweden, Norway, United Kingdom and Spain.

“It is the only study to date that examines alcohol consumption in a large sample of adults from different European regions and examines the role oflong exposure to alcohol in general and abdominal obesity , “said one of its authors, María Dolores Chirlaque, a researcher at the Ministry of Health of the Region of Murcia, according to Europa Press.

However, the study shows that the largest increases in waist circumference observed in high alcohol consumption , so that moderate consumption discouraged.

“It now remains to consider whether the abandonment of the use of alcohol, or a low intake of this, reverse abdominal obesity and how long , “said Chirlaque, another of the researchers, who belongs to the Center for Biomedical Research in Epidemiology Network and Public Health (CIBERESP).

Beer, wine worse than

The study also analyzed the effects had beer and wine in the formation of fat. This revealed that the intake of the first consumption of wine.

In addition, the investigation revealed that men who consume more beer at greatest risk (75%) than wine (25%). In this way, men who consumed more than three glasses of beer increased (50%) your chances of having abdominal obesity. For their part, women who drink a daily glass or two along life have a slightly higher risk of developing abdominal obesity than those who fail to consume half a glass.

With respect to wine, women who drink three or more vessels are more likely (60%) of developing abdominal overweight than those who do not reach half a glass. While in men, this risk is 28 percent.

Poor relationship with the mother, the greater the child obesity

Posted: 31 Jan 2012 07:57 PM PST

The care and attention that dispenses a mother to baby during its first months of life can have a significant influence on their development. This fact, already known by experts, has just added a new factor: infants who have had less close relationship with his mother are more likely to be obese in adolescence.

This was just shown a new statistical study that followed more than 900 children from their first three months of life, when dealing with their mothers was subjected to repeated examinations, up to 15 years of age.At adolescence, children who showed a worse relationship with their mothers had significantly higher rates of obesity , even discounting other factors like education or income levels.

The study’s authors, led by Sarah Anderson of Ohio State University (USA) measured the quality of the relationship between mother and baby by two parameters: maternal sensitivity and attachment security. The first was established from the interaction in game situations that were recorded on video. The second assessed the children’s reactions in the presence or absence of their mothers, in controlled laboratory conditions.

Both were assessed positively the mother’s ability to recognize the mood and needs of the child’s tendency to explore this environment without fear, knowing it would be well cared for and watched by his mother. Both parameters were measured repeatedly as children grew older, at 15, 24 and 36 months of age.

Levels of concern

When they turned 15, she noted that more than one quarter of children with low scores in these interactions with the mother showed worrying levels of obesity. In contrast, only 13% of those who were best served by the evidence presented this same problem.

Scientists point out that the quality of the relationship between mother and baby are a known factor in the regulation of emotions, neuronal development and stress response during the growth of children. In addition, stress management is related to abnormalities in physiological systems upon which the energy balance , which can lead to obesity.

“There is a overlap in the brain between the areas that govern the stress and energy balance,” says Anderson, according to Reuters. “This stress response may be related to obesity through the regulation of appetite,” adds the researcher. Nutrition experts remind, however, that the main factors of obesity are already known: poor diet, sedentary lifestyle or lack of sleep. Thus, Anderson acknowledges that “blame the parents will not solve the problem.”

The skin takes color from the first seconds of the sun

Posted: 31 Jan 2012 01:52 PM PST

The skin responds to the effects of solar radiation much faster than previously thought, so much so that a moment of intense enough light to trigger certain processes of pigmentation. This was just shown a laboratory experiment with human cells that produce melanin, ie, the chemical tan.

This early response may have a defensive function against subsequent cell damage and DNA caused by increased exposure to solar radiation, as postulated by the researchers who discovered this effect.

After a few seconds under the sun’s radiation, causing the skin color, but also damage that can cause melanoma-specific receptors are activated to initiate the production of melanin, as observed in cultured skin cells. Until now, scientists believed that tanning was a much slower process .

The cause of this early reaction of the skin are UVA (untravioleta-A), which compose 95% of solar radiation that reaches our planet. The remaining 5% corresponds to UVB radiation. The authors of the study, published in Current Biology, they believe that production of melanin is activated immediately as a defensive measure against the sunlight.

“As soon as you become the sun, your skin shows signs of having been exposed to ultraviolet radiation,” says researcher Elena Oancea, principal signatory of the report from Brown University (USA). Melanin production starts within a few hours after receiving the light, but before this work was thought to take days.

Protective function

The problem is that after a few days, ultraviolet radiation has damaged the DNA (due to UVB rays) and caused oxidative damage in cells (due to UVA). The first reaction has been observed now have the function of protecting the skin from further damage such as postulated by the authors, while acknowledging that still have no “definitive proof”.

“We knew that high doses of UVA rays cause large amounts of oxygen and inflammation. Our results show that a smaller amount of UVA rays , for a few seconds in bright sunlight activates a specific receptor and induces the production of melanin, “summarizes Oancea to ELMUNDO.es.

If this first reaction to UVA is “protective” as the researchers believe the finding could have implications for the development of future solar creams and lotions. What in any case means that UVA rays are less dangerous than it has been warning about. “This tells us not to use sunscreen,” insists Oancea.

Manufacture of sunscreen

However, even after confirmation of the hypothesis, cream makers might consider in future the newly discovered effect: “The ratio of anti-UVA components and anti-UVB would be important. Block only the response we have discovered anti-UVA protective sensitize your skin to UVB and cause more damage that can cause cancer, “researcher argues.

“The time for chemical degradation of anti-UVA and anti-UVB may also be important because it can result in a similar situation when only skin is protected against UVA,” says Oancea.

Research has revealed also that in the early synthesis of melanin is involved a receptor called rhodopsin , which is also found in the retina and helps the eye to catch the light. Is the first time observed other functions of rhodopsin, apart from the visuals

What is effective drug against melanoma side effects

Posted: 31 Jan 2012 07:50 AM PST

Vemurafenib is one of the most prominent and expected to treat metastatic melanoma. Although in Spain this drug is not yet approved in the U.S. can be used from September last year. Although as a side effect, some patients may develop skin carcinomas, the benefits of this therapy are much higher. Especially considering that metastatic melanoma mortality is 90%.

Now a team of researchers from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) has discovered what is the cellular mechanism by which Vemurafenib is able to fight against this type of melanoma, however, allows the development of squamous cell carcinoma.

This happens to one in four people treated with this drug, as recorded by the article published in The New England Journal of Medicine .Furthermore, “can also produce primary melanomas,” argues Susana Puig, research coordinator Melanoma Unit and member of the Dermatology Department of Hospital Clínic (Barcelona). But that, notes, “usually occurs at the beginning of medication during the first weeks and successfully treated by surgical removal.’s Why it’s important to follow up dermatology.”

He adds: “We must not forget that people with metastatic melanoma have a high risk of mortality (90%), so that the benefits outweigh the side effects that also have very little aggressive treatment.” As explained by the Spanish specialist commenting on the U.S. investigation, “ Vemurafenib get that 85% of patients who take it better or at least not feed the tumor. “The rest of the treatment options available, however, work only 10% of cases. “The difference is remarkable. It is a great benefit.”

Maybe now you know the Vemurafenib mecanimo by which encourages the development of squamous cell carcinomas, this side effect can be avoided even in the near future. According to the authors of the study, the drug specifically blocks of the proteins that drive the growth of melanoma (BRAF, present in 50% of patients). But this oncogene is activated by another (RAS). The drug gets to act against BRAF and block it, if the individual has activated RAS (by the sun), favors this mutation.

This was observed after performing a molecular analysis of samples from 21 individuals with metastatic melanoma treated with Vemurafenib.“Our data indicate that RAS mutations are present in 60% of patients develop squamous cell carcinomas and take the drug,” says Antoni Ribas, one of the authors of the research, Spanish oncologist who works at UCLA. “This mutation (RAS) is probably caused by prior damage, sun exposure, and what it does is accelerate Vemurafenib appearance of skin carcinoma.”

Once you know the mechanism, to be seen whether the patient receives while Vemurafenib can block the RAS mutation with another different drug to prevent the development of secondary skin cancer.

Educational attainment and early diagnosis

Although melanoma is the least common skin cancer is highly invasive, with a great capacity to metastasize soon. However, as explained by specialists, thanks to prevention campaigns that are being developed in recent years as technological advances allow better distinguish benign from malignant lesions, the majority of melanomas are detected early states and heal no problem (with removal).

This must be one of the reasons why the U.S. has decreased the mortality rate from this disease, it is diagnosed in early stages. But it is not the only reason. A study published this week in the journal Archives of Dermatology ‘ claims that the death rate is reduced especially in patients with a higher education level.

After examining the melanoma mortality data from 1993 to 2007 in 26 U.S. states, a group of experts from the American Cancer Society realized that the death rate was reduced by 10% in the last 10 years ( both men and women), but only among those with at least 13 years of education. “We need to design prevention strategies aimed at those who do not have some level of training,” they conclude.

What is Melanoma?

Posted: 31 Jan 2012 01:47 AM PST

Skin cancer is a disease caused by the development of cancer cells in any layer of the skin.

There are two types: type non-melanoma and melanoma . The cancer non-melanoma is the most common and is called non-melanoma because it is formed from other skin cells are not accumulating pigment (melanocytes). Within this type are all less skin cancers, malignant melanoma is less common and more malignant and are explained below.

Skin cancer is more common in white skinned people who have spent much time exposed to sunlight, especially when sun exposure took place during infancy and there were numerous sunburn. Although it may appear anywhere on the skin, is more common to occur in the face, neck, hands and arms. This cancer is one of the most common of all cancers, and an estimated two million are diagnosed new cases per year worldwide. In recent years, the incidence of malignant melanoma has increased dramatically, has been multiplied by 3.3 in by 2.5 in men and women in the last twenty years in Spain. Although this represents less than 3% of all tumors and early detection campaigns have helped reduce the mortality by 30% since the seventies.

Two new weapons against melanoma

Posted: 30 Jan 2012 07:44 PM PST

If diagnosed early, melanoma can be cured in a high percentage of cases. In contrast, when the disease is detected early, the prognosis for the future is usually not good. Oncologists had time trying to find a way to ‘stop’ the progress of this aggressive skin cancer without, so far, would have made great progress. However, after many years ‘drought’ therapeutic, research seems to have begun to bear fruit.

According to data presented at the 47th meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), patients could start benefiting from two new pharmacological options that are able to prolong the life of those with advanced melanoma.

“This is a big step forward. The treatment of melanoma has begun to emerge in the deep well that was,” explains Martin Algarra ELMUNDO.es Salvador, a specialist in the University Hospital of Navarra and president of the Multidisciplinary Melanoma Spanish Group , who notes that, until now, the only drug therapy available for these patients was dacarbazine, a chemotherapy treatment developed in 1978 does not offer too good results and is associated with numerous side effects.

The new alternatives, continues the specialist, do not cure cancer, but can be more optimistic for the future if the investigation continues.

One option is ipilimumab, a drug recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA its acronym in English) that has already demonstrated its potential in the last edition of the medical conference .

A phase III study has ratified its benefits and demonstrated that, in combination with dacarbazine, the intravenous drug improves survival of patients with metastatic melanoma who had not previously received treatment. According to the findings of this study, after three years of follow-up 20.8% of patients treated with combination therapy were alive, whereas only 12.2% did so only those who had received dacarbazine.

Ipilimumab (developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb) does not directly attack the cancer cells, it activates the immune system so that it is he who fights against the tumor. “It’s like if you teach the body’s defense to reject cancer,” said Michele Maio, a specialist at the University of Siena (Italy) in a press conference organized by the pharmaceutical company.

Against cell proliferation

Nor vemurafenib, the other therapeutic option presented at the conference, fights cancer in a conventional manner. Instead of ‘poison’ the tumor such as chemotherapy does, the Roche drug blocks the intracellular communication pathways to prevent the proliferation of the malignant process, ie, prevents the cancer continues to grow.

The drug is only useful in patients with a mutation (V600E) in BRAF gene, 50% of the cases, because its expression inhibits cell, but its effects are more than remarkable. According to data presented at ASCO, three months, the treatment achieved a 63% lower risk of death for patients taking it compared to the patients who were indicated dacarbazine.

“The results were so good, we interrupted the study for all patients could benefit,” stressed at a press conference Paul Chapman, a researcher at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York and principal signer of the work, together with the ipilimumab research have been published this week in the journal ‘The New England Journal of Medicine .

Try the combination

In his meeting with the press, this specialist has underlined the potential for personalized therapy vemurafenib get open if properly combined with other agents that fight advanced melanoma. In that sense, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Roche have announced that they have launched a joint investigation to verify and efficacy of dual therapy with vemurafenib and ipilimumab.

In addition, this research also should consider the safety of the combination of both drugs. Vemurafenib use has been associated with the development of other skin cancers other than melanoma (small and can be successfully treated with surgery), among other adverse effects. While, for its part, has been associated with ipilimumab liver and gastrointestinal problems , although this latest research has been less the observed effects were less pronounced than at other times.

Melanoma is one type of cancer whose incidence is increasing faster. In Western countries, about 90% of cases are diagnosed early, cure rates are high

Tips for living with dermatitis

Posted: 30 Jan 2012 01:43 PM PST

“It’s very difficult to say no scratch,” he explains, referring to his daughter Sarah, eight years. Have atopic dermatitis and when buds appear, the itching will not stop ‘breathing’. “It’s a constant feeling,” said the mother.“When a mosquito bites you on the instep of the foot, for example, no one supports it. To my daughter, this summer, got bitten a lot of mosquitoes and not scratched.”

It is this sensation of itching, stinging, itching, and that really affect the quality of life of patients, who are mainly children. At first, scratching relieves them, but is best avoided, since they can cause infections and worsen the disease itself, according to experts. The affected “should know the disease, to understand what happens to them, understand that no definitive cure, that the best will have to live with the outbreaks (characterized by much itching and skin lesions in the flexures, face and neck) to puberty (at 80%) and in the worst case, all life (20%). It is important that they learn to manage this condition, “argues Raúl Lucas, La Paz Hospital dermatologist of Madrid.

Many hospitals are beginning to develop workshops for both small and parents. At first, “are very overwhelmed with the illness of their children. They think that has to do with food allergy have much fear of drugs, corticosteroids, the recommended treatment become less …”. In this sort of class explains “quietly” everything related to atopic dermatitis and are offered the opportunity to resolve your concerns. Meanwhile, children are not bored.

The magician and the witch Derma Titis

Seduced by the plot of the story of the puppet (‘The Atopy Clock’), get to know more about their disease and through characters like the magician and the witch Derma Titis, themselves end up screaming that the dermatitis “is not spread.” They discover they can do the same life as other children and share the games with them.

Comes the highlight of one of the puppets, the doctor, who is responsible for clarifying some of the myths: “Not only can ducharos but you must also make every day.” With the help of two nurses ‘real’ (not puppets) throws some tips: “ The bath should be cortito , water should be warm and to dry our, we should not rub the towel against the body, but we have to use it to tap soft “.

In the end, all children learn to lie down by the body cream and some tricks to avoid scratching. Mara Mero, a nurse, shares some secrets with them, “You can dip a towel in cold water and put it where you itch. They serve other cold objects, like a smooth stone from the beach or a water bottle. You can use one of these wooden rollers of your parents even give gentle tapping with the palm of the hand. It also works have pleasant situations and think … If you itch behind your ear, think of it, breathing deeply and exhale thinking while you are driving out the itch. “

At the end of the workshop, they make themselves gloves to take home to meet your fingers and avoid scratching, for example, while sleeping. In any case, dermatologists recommend, “children should always wear short nails.”

Self-esteem suffers

So important is to avoid scratching, sudden changes in temperature and irritants, such as applying adequate treatment. They must keep your skin well hydrated. As has Sara, “I put my daughter cream (no irritants, dyes, perfumes or preservatives-) three to four times a day and when you shoot, topical corticosteroids (cream).” Although the causes of atopic dermatitis is unknown, “we know that there is a genetic predisposition that determines an alteration of the outer layer of skin. This means that it is very dry (water loss) and the allergens or irritants can penetrate and cause inflammation in the skin, “says Dr. Lucas.

The consequences of this alteration are not only physical, emotional also.According to a European survey conducted by Opinion Health, 68% of parents of children with dermatitis moderate to severe atopic stated that the disease has a negative effect on self-esteem of their children.23.3% indicated they experienced frustration and 32% felt that they feel different from others, and self-conscious or sad. In the words of the dermatologist: “They experience itching, discomfort, sleep problems, loss of hours (up to five school days per year), concentrated evil … Severe forms are almost incompatible with normal life. It is important well treated and well control the itching. “

This key will also attempt to prevent allergic diseases like asthma, rhinitis or food rejection, which are much more common in these patients. Experts predict that about 50% of children develop atopic condermatitis any other allergic conditions. Since atopic dermatitis, which affects 15% of the population , primarily pediatric-, is a chronic skin disease most often, the Ministry of Health, the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (AEDV), the Spanish Association of Primary Care Pediatrics (AEPap) and the Association of Relatives and patients with atopic dermatitis (ADEA) recently presented an animated video (‘Alex, do not scratch’) so they can properly understand their disease. “The cell Glupi leads him to see the inside of your skin and accompanies him on a daily basis, providing recommendations.” This is another of the initiatives being put in place to teach and educate those affected by the importance to correctly follow the treatment and better quality of life

Keys to predict and prevent childhood atopic dermatitis

Paint the walls, change the furniture and generally, making changes at home during pregnancy may increase the risk of atopic dermatitis baby develop infant, according to an observational study. In order to predict and prevent this disease, a group of researchers has analyzed the factors that most influence the manifestation of this pathology.

They are not the only triggers the computer department of Medicine, National Taiwan University has found. “We found that the fungi that produce the humidity of the walls are also significantly associated with this type of dermatitis. “

According to Manuel Fernandez Lorent, Dermatology Group specialists Pedro Jaen (Madrid), “we must keep in mind that this is an observational, not randomized, so the conclusions drawn, but are to be taken into account, do not serve to establish a cause-effect relationship . “

For his part, Eduardo Fonseca Capdevila, Head of Dermatology, University Hospital of A Coruna, insists that first, “is essential to have the genetics that predispose to this disease.”

“If parents have asthma, allergic rhinitis or atopic dermatitis, the baby’s chances of developing this skin disease increase,” argue the authors of the study, published in ‘British Journal of Dermatology’ .In addition, sex of the baby influences. It is clear from the results, the prevalence is higher among small (8.1% vs 5.7% of girls).

Regardless of this investigation, which it has been shown, argues Dr. Fonseca Capdevila, is that the higher living standards, increased incidence of atopic dermatitis is recorded. There are several theories about it, but the most accepted is that “a better quality of life, better hygiene and fewer infections. Given that the immune system is designed to deal with such infections, avoid contact with parasites can cause the immune system does not develop normally and allergic reactions and even autoimmune diseases. We must not forget that avoiding germs survive more children die of diarrhea or parasitosis.

Higher risk profile

Drawing the conclusions about the triggers that most influence the development of this disease, the researchers established a predictive model based on these elements. Thus, they concluded that the highest risk of childhood atopic dermatitis (70.1%) as children whose parents were also suffering from the disease and, coincidentally, during pregnancy the mother had coexisted two situations at home: damp and reforms. By contrast, cases with minimal risk was for the girls that were not given none of the above conditions.

In total, we examined the cases of 20,687 babies. The researchers conducted interviews with parents to learn about heredity and environmental factors when children had six months of life. The baby’s time is what distinguishes this work from another topic.

As reflected in the article, most studies have been conducted so far are aimed at children from age three. “However, in half the cases the symptoms begin in the first six months of life . It is therefore important to examine in detail the triggers during pregnancy and breastfeeding that stage, “say the authors.

These data underscore the study’s authors, “allow us to identify infants who are at high risk and gives us the ability to apply preventive measures, always at the environmental level.”

Know your risk of heart attack or stroke

Posted: 30 Jan 2012 02:37 AM PST

Want to know if you have a heart attack over your life? According to a team of researchers from the U.S. if you are a man, has already reached 45, not smoking, not overweight and no hypertension or diabetes, then your risk is only 1.4%.

However, with two or more risk factors at his back, the odds increase to 49.5%. So it takes a study just published by the journal ‘The New England Journal of Medicine . For the first time, ensure those responsible for the work, “we are assessing the risk of coronary heart disease in both white and black women and men throughout life.” So far, they continue, the work focused especially white male population and a forecast of 10 years.

In total, Northwestern University researchers examined more than 250,000 people over a period of 50 years. At 45, 55, 65 and 75 years, participants underwent an evaluation of their cholesterol levels, blood pressure, diabetes and snuff consumption. The authors focused on these aspects, being the main risk factors for cardiovascular disease or stroke .

They found that men who reach 45 without these risk factors had only a 1.4% suffer any of these conditions. However, it was enough to smoke and had higher cholesterol levels for the chance to ascend to 49.5% .

In the case of women, to reach 45 in top form, may suffer a heart attack or stroke by 4.1%. With two or more risk factors, the chances increase to 30.7%. “We saw that women had a higher risk of stroke than men, but less heart attacks,” the authors say in the article.

This is because, according to Jaime Masjuán Vallejo, coordinator of the Stroke Unit at the Hospital Ramon y Cajal in Madrid, that “ they live longer and strokes tend to occur more often after 65. “ However, he continues, “the heart affects younger people and men, because they have poorer control of risk factors, such as the snuff.”

As explained by Dr. Masjuán Vallejo, the results of this study “underscore the importance of prevention” and reveal that the efficacy of drugs to control diabetes or hypertension are much less effective in preventing cardiovascular events that reach 45 without such factors. “

Since the work includes a large sample of participants, says the Spanish specialist, “ are very significant findings . “ Above all, taking into account the need now exists to work more on prevention. “Before, I see people under 50 years with a stroke was exceptional. Now, every week we have a case and this is because we have the highest burden of obesity, hypertension, diabetes and snuff. We do not realize that a little descotrolen levels are, for example cholesterol, before 50, the risk of heart attack or stroke increases significantly. “

Researchers recall, therefore, that lifestyle is key, particularly diet, exercise and smoking cessation, which is what most helps reduce the risk factors leading to coronary heart disease or stroke. “From the standpoint of prevention, we must do more emphasis on the idea of doing everything possible not to develop diabetes , hypertension, smoking or earn extra kilos, “said one of the authors, Jarett Berry. This will be the most effective way to keep your heart in shape throughout life

Indispensable and inexpensive recipes

In addition to prescribing drugs to relieve ailments, physicians should recommend, in writing in detail, two more things to their patients. One would be what kind of exercise should be done regularly and what other digital sources of credibility and prestige to which it can approach to learn of his illness.

Has just been published in Spanish medical journal ‘Clinical Medicine’ , the greatest impact in our country, a thorough review of the indications is exercise. Experts Girona Faculty of Medicine concluded, after tracking the best that has been published in recent years on the subject, that physical activity-both moderate and intense, prevents, when done regularly, premature mortality produce a very high number of severe medical conditions. And it does so significantly.

You have to name some of the most common and important. Ischemic heart disease, stroke, hypertension, colon cancer and breast cancer, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, obesity, osteoporosis, sarcopenia, functional dependence, falls in the elderly, cognitive impairment, anxiety and depression . The list is impressive, as are the percentages of risk reduction is achieved when the muscles move seriously and regularly.

The challenge now is to convince the citizenry, so used to the couch and the lift-that health is not a thing of pills if not proposed sweat shirt at least every other day, and forever.

The other unfinished business of any health system who wants no break in the future is to increase health literacy level of society. More dangerous than high cholesterol, high blood pressure and perhaps inadequate levels of glucose is ignorance. Only an informed society can promote health and prevent, manage the beginnings of an acute illness or manage much of a chronic process, if the sufferer. That is why health professionals should advise patients what are the most reliable sources that exist to raise some level of knowledge in biomedicine. That over 50% of cases is low

Two common mutations, the key to ovarian cancer

Posted: 29 Jan 2012 02:32 PM PST

Encouraging news for those affected by ovarian cancer. According to a group of specialists from the National Cancer Institute U.S., those who have alterations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 have a better prognosis.

From studies conducted to date is known that between 6% and 15% of women with this type of tumor have these mutations. “These are the factors most important known genetic risk so far,” said Kelly Bolton, principal author of the research, published this week in the journal ‘The Journal of the American Medical Association’ . Not yet known what other genes or mutations are involved in other women who have the disease.

With respect to BRCA2, a recent study “as related to improved survival, however, the role of BRCA1 was not very clear.” Bolton and his team decided to review from 26 observational studies that analyzed the survival of women with ovarian cancer.

After evaluating the cases of 1,213 affected (909 with mutations in BRCA1 and 304 BRCA2) and 2666 women carry these variations, the authors observed that the survival rate at five years was 36% in the latter group. Among women who had BRCA1 mutations, the percentage increased to 44% and those with variations in BRCA2 to 52%. “Even taking into account other factors such as age or stage of tumor, the prognosis was still better among those with these mutations,” notes the researcher.

In an editorial accompanying this paper, David Spriggs, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (New York, USA), says that this is most significant study conducted to date by the number of people involved (a total of 3879 ). Discussed various ethnic groups and multiple continents, showing an X-ray of the situation more real, “even though the limitations that the authors assume,” lack of information on clinical aspects (such as stage or histology) some patients. “

A view shared by Joaquin Montal, Head of Oncology at the Hospital La Fe de Valencia, who notes that “the molecular alterations are those that will determine the prognosis of the disease rather than clinical parameters.”

Clinical Implications

The survival advantage among carriers of BRCA1 and BRCA2 in comparison with the rest were “somewhat lower” when the affected family history of ovarian, breast or both. According to experts, there is evidence that women who carry alterations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 are also more likely to have breast cancer. And we know that a woman with a first degree relative who has had this tumor has three to four times more likely to develop it.

“Our findings have important clinical implications for the management of these patients, “the researchers emphasize. In addition to observing a better prognosis in carriers of BRCA1 and BRCA2, also confirmed that they will have better response to certain treatments, like chemotherapy with platinum.

As the study authors emphasize, this may help customize treatment according to the molecular alterations that occur in each person. “Once again, we approach to choose the most beneficial therapy for each case,” said Montal.

Late detection

Since ovarian cancer is one of the most malignant tumors, such studies are greeted with great anticipation. Currently, this disease accounts for 4% of cancer deaths in women, mainly because it is diagnosed in 19% of cases while the tumor is located, at which time healing opportunities are superior to 90%. As argued by Dr. Montal, “we have no specific diagnostic tests and, because of its location , it is difficult to suspect (no palpable signs as with breast cancer) and detect the tumor at an early stage. “

With the new findings, the researchers add, promote the idea of diagnostic tests to see what people are most at risk in order to establish more intensive monitoring and early detection of abnormalities in their ovaries. Today, says the Spanish physician, “when a person has breast cancer or ovarian cancer examines whether or not they are carriers of mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. If yes, then establishing a close watch on their descendants . These genetic studies are already done in several Spanish hospitals. “

Given the importance of BRCA1 and BRCA2 in ovarian cancer, responsible for the editorial accompanying the article stresses that any research on this disease must take into account the mutations of these genes

The saliva test for HIV effective

Posted: 29 Jan 2012 05:29 AM PST

A test of saliva instead of blood tests to detect the AIDS virus. A meta-analysis published this week in the journal ‘The Lancet Infectious Diseases’ , this tool has an accuracy similar to the traditional test based on the study of a blood sample.

“While previous studies have shown that this test (OraQuick HIV 1 / 2) is promising, ours is the first to assess its global potential,” said Nikita Pant Pai, lead author of the research and medical scientist at McGill University Health Centre (MUHC), Canada. This is a job analysis that compares the world who value the sensitivity of the oral test. This is how Pant Pai and his team have concluded that this test has an accuracy of 99% in high-risk populations and 97% in low-risk population.

This event has the approval of both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European (EMA). In fact, “in Spain is being used for screening in large populations, into shooting galleries … It is very useful for rapid diagnosis and cost many people, “said Juan Carlos Lopez Bernaldo de Quiros, a specialist in diseases unit Infectious Gregorio Marañón Hospital in Madrid. “Unsuccessful risk to the person performing the test and, since many people are reluctant to puncture, but also reduces the number of rejections for this issue.”

The test, as the authors emphasize the meta-analysis, it is noninvasive and painless. Is to rub with a small palette gum for oral fluid sample and then immerse in a solution. At an average of 20 minutes, the result is ready.

Since anyone could perform this test, posed as self-test , “is a confidential option that could end the stigma associated with testing for HIV,” notes Pant Pai. So far, “getting people to be screened at the clinics has been difficult for visibility, stigma and discrimination.”

The advantages are especially significant in developing countries with high prevalence of this infection, such as sub-Saharan Africa. “In addition to facilitating the rapid treatment of those affected, does not require the intervention of medical personnel, or syringe or needle, it is cheaper.”

In any case, so far , “the rapid test with positive results should be confirmed with the traditional blood analysis (test called ELISA), which takes three to four days,” Dr. Lopez qualifies Bernaldo de Quiros

Papillomavirus, also threatens the mouth and throat

Posted: 29 Jan 2012 02:06 AM PST

The snuff and alcohol have traditionally been the main triggers of tumors of the oral cavity (mouth, pharynx and larynx). However, in recent years, another ‘villain’ has been gaining ground in this area.It is the human papillomavirus , a sexually transmitted pathogen whose role in cervical cancer is well known.

In America, this virus is now considered the main cause of a type of oral carcinoma and its prevalence to the attention of experts .Above all, it is particularly high among men.

This is evidenced by the results of the last work done on the subject, which looked at 5579 men and women aged between 14 and 69 years. According to data published in the latest issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association ‘ , oral infections of the virus affecting 10.1% of men compared to 3.6% of women, giving a prevalence overall about 7%.

These data underscore the researchers in the medical journal, call for greater public attention to the health implications that has the progress of this virus. Especially if you consider that the subtype 16 pathogen-undoubtedly the most aggressive and most related to further development of cancer, was the most common virus affected the sample.

A sexually transmitted infection

To carry out their work, these scientists led by Maura L. Gillison, Ohio University (USA), each participant underwent a personal interview about their habits and their socioeconomic profile, and a laboratory test to evaluate the oral presence of papillomavirus.

Apart from the prevalence of the pathogen, one of the details were clearer in the research is that sexual behavior was closely linked to the likelihood of infection . Thus, sexually active people who had had more partners over their lives who most likely had to introduce the virus. On the other hand, apart from the inner life also showed smoking as a major risk factor.

Although acknowledging that the prevalence of oral papillomavirus infections remains low compared to other ‘attacks’ of this pathogen, arrives at 42% for cervical-the authors of this paper claimed on its findings more studies determine how you can prevent and combat this type of infection and its possible consequences.

He agreed with his view of the ship Elvira, a spokesman for the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology and Clinical Specialist Hospital Universitario de Salamanca. According to this expert, among other factors, it is necessary to determine whether the vaccine is used routinely to prevent cervical cancer is also effective in the case of oral infections or to what extent would conduct a cost-effectivepreventive screening to detect the virus as is customarily done in gynecological consultations.

“He’s working hard on this issue because the prevalence of these oral infections is increasing,” he says. In his words, although in Spain and the rest of Europe the figures have not yet reached levels that are handled in U.S., also detected a significant increase .

“In Spain, alcohol and snuff are still the major cause of cancers of the upper aerodigestive area, but is expected to increase the incidence of the virus,” he says.

In this regard, recalls Boat to the existence of a mouth or throat cancer, it is necessary in all cases to rule out the presence of the virus. “In general, patients who have the virus but are not smokers or drinkers have a better prognosis than the rest , “he says. “In these cases, one must appreciate that this may not need surgery, as they usually respond very well to chemotherapy and radiotherapy,” he adds.

To avoid problems, the specialist recommends, above all, prevention against any sexually transmitted disease. But in addition, also stresses the importance of timely action.

“You have to see if symptoms are detected as an ulcer or small lesion in the mouth that does not heal within weeks or at a hoarseness that does not subside,” he stresses.

Work hard depresses
Mental activity protects against Alzheimer’s
Nicotine patches and gum lose its long-term effect

Work hard depresses

Posted: 27 Jan 2012 01:42 AM PST

The popular proverb shows once again his wisdom: “What good, if brief, twice good. ‘ New data show that too long working hours are associated with an increased risk of depressive episodes .

The conclusions of previous studies that linked working hours with psychological and sleep, decreased cognitive function or depressive and anxiety problems, data from the last article published in the journal ‘PLoS ONE’ depression also added .

After analyzing the working conditions and personal circumstances of 2,000 British civil servants aged 35 to 55 years, the authors conclude how to work 11 hours or more increased by more than double the likelihood of depressive disorders . The study is led by Marianna Virtanen, Finnish member of the Institute of Occupational Health at University College London.

“We followed the evolution of these workers through interviews for about six years and the data are clear. Those days had 11 hours or more overtime or made (total, 16% of those tested) ranged from 2.5 to 2.3 more likely to develop depressive episodes and anxiety when compared with those whose time was limited to seven or eight hours (54%), “says Virtanen.

The work took into account data such as socioeconomic status or lifestyle of the participants not ‘contaminate’ the results. Thus, the study provides a ‘sketch’ of those most at risk of depression: men married or living with a partner, who holds a position of high responsibility and active or jobs where there is a significant burden of pressure, and who consume alcohol moderately.

“The data are important and worrisome,” said Virtanen. “Keep in mind that the World Health Organization (WHO) believes that depressive disorders are the leading cause of illness in 2030 and, today, in addition to the personal living conditions, these episodes mental carry a substantial deterioration in productivity at work, not to mention lost working days , “says the author

Mental activity protects against Alzheimer’s

Posted: 26 Jan 2012 08:37 PM PST

If you have cultivated your mind throughout life, and is still doing, know that will be rewarded. Data from a new study in brain imaging studies show that cognitive activities (reading, writing …) can delay the onset or even prevent Alzheimer’s disease .

Susan Landau, University of California (Berkeley, USA), is the author of the new research that has seen the light in the latest Archives of Neurology .

“Our work shows that engaging in activities requiring cognitive activity is associated with a lower risk of accumulating in the brain beta-amyloid protein “, the main component of the plates that make up Alzheimer ELMUNDO.es Landau says.

In his words, his team has managed to demonstrate a direct relationship between a life-habit of regularly cognitive activity and the accumulation of these harmful plaques in the brain. And they have achieved thanks to advances in imaging techniques.

For nearly a decade, the [11C] PiB, a radiopharmaceutical used in PET imaging test (Positron Emission Tomography) are analyzed extensively in various studies due to its diagnostic accuracy for detecting the characteristic plaques Alhzeimer’s disease . In fact, as the researchers explain in the medical journal, its development has made it possible to ‘see’ the protein beta-amyloid and its accumulation in the brain.

Based on this achievement, the Landau team conducted a trial of 65 volunteers whose average age was about 76 years, 10 patients with AD (74 years on average) and 11 healthy young (24 years), they did a control group.

All subjects underwent a series of questionnaires on cognitive activities (reading, writing or playing games) and physical activity (walks, cycling …) throughout his life (at 6, 12 18 & 40 years).

In addition, all neuropsychological tests conducted assessed memory, and finally each of the participants were subjected to a PET radiopharmaceutical with [11C] PiB to check the status of their brains.

The test results showed that participation in cognitively stimulating activities was associated with a lower accumulation of beta-amyloid protein.

Moreover, according to the researchers in the medical journal, this relationship was not affected by variables such as age, years of education, gender or memory capacity.

In fact, according to their data, “older people with higher cognitive activity of the protein levels were similar to the youth of the study, while the brain scans of those with lower mental activity were comparable to those of Alzheimer’s patients.”

“This suggests that people who work the hardest your mind may reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s by preventing the accumulation of beta-amyloid in their brains, “says Landau.

Although they have not been able to determine the mechanisms that explain this relationship, the scientists suggest that the key might be that the brains ‘active’ act in a much more effective . “People who remains active throughout his life would neural processes much more efficient, leading to a lower accumulation of amyloid plaque,” he says.

In their work, researchers remember, however, that “it is unlikely that our results reflect a single cause of Alzheimer’s, as it is a complex disease with many potential pathogenic processes involved.”

“Carrying out activities of cognitive stimulation is probably related to participation in a variety of lifestyle practices that have been associated in other studies with a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s, “they insist.

Therefore, for scientific Landau and his team is “important to conduct more research in this field.”

Nicotine patches and gum lose its long-term effect

Posted: 26 Jan 2012 01:30 PM PST

Have you considered to welcome 2012 without a cigarette between your fingers? If you marked this year as the year you finally quit smoking and was armed with patches, gum, inhalers or nasal sprays that will make it more bearable ‘mono’ of the cigar, not the time to be disappointed by this news. Only reaffirms something you need to know: for there is much outside help in the long run the only truly effective method to quit a bad habit is the very strength of will .

This is the advice that is extracted from the new study published in ‘Tobacco Control’ , where researchers from the School of Public Health at Harvard and the University of Massachusetts have been monitoring about 800 former U.S. smokers in three periods between 2001 to 2006.

All these people-who had less than two years away from the bad fumes, asked if they used smoking cessation therapies in the form of gum, patches, inhalers or nasal sprays , and how long they had been used. The result was described by the authors as “amazing” it was noted that in each period analyzed, almost 35% of respondents had returned to enjoy a cigarette .

Furthermore, the results did not show significant differences between former smokers who combined these treatments with professional advice or not, or among those who had been a heavy smokers or, conversely, much more moderate.

“What we showed in this study is that the use of therapeutic nicotine replacement therapy is more effective in helping you quit smoking long term if a person decides to leave the snuff alone , without help, “explains Dr. Hillel Alpert, director of the study.

So no longer serve?

With these results, the authors of the research are choosing to ‘a warning’ to the health authorities at the time of financing smoking cessation treatments, “so that only receive this money therapies prove effective also long term, “said Hillel Alpert.

But, it’s easy to fall into doubt, are these methods a fraud? “No” sharply replied Victor Lopez, former president of the National Committee for Smoking Prevention. “Patches, gum, and others are only a support to quit smoking, but not a magic bullet, should be viewed in perspective , “says the specialist.

“Between 50 to 60% of those who try to quit smoking using this type of treatment that in the short term, many studies have shown to be effective,” said Victor Lopez. “These patches are used for therapy of two or three months, what happens next? If you really want to quit there is only one option: be willing to do so , since there is no drug or therapy can eliminate the desire of smoking alone, “he says.

As all experts agree is the need for more studies examining the benefits of these drugs: “The truth is that this is not like when you have a typical disease, that you take a pill, and control. Smoking is a much more complicated and there are few studies with large samples and strong results that help make plans better smoking than we currently have, “says Dr. Lopez.

“Although there are encouraging figures indicate that many people have decided to shelve the cigar, still it is estimated that more than 1,300 billion smokers worldwide and six million people die each year due to this habit . It is, therefore, a serious issue to consider effective measures needed to combat it, “concludes Dr. Alpert.

Detect dyslexia before developing

Posted: 26 Jan 2012 05:05 AM PST

Dyslexia could be detected even before children learn to read. According to a U.S. research team, their brain activity shows some differences easy to grasp by MRI and confirmed this in an article published in ‘Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences’ .

It was suspected that this type of learning problems in reading and writing “certainly have neurobiological and functional alterations in the brain (temporal or frontal),” says Gustavo Lorenzo, a child neurologist at the Hospital Ramon y Cajal in Madrid. The results of this research, conducted at Children’s Hospital Boston, are a further support to this theory.

After doing MRI scans to 36 children (mean age five years) while they decided whether two words beginning with the same sound, the authors of this study found that those with family history of dyslexia showed less metabolic activity in certain brain areas .

Specifically, the joints between the occipital and temporal lobes and the temporal and parietal lobes. This indicates, says the lead author of the research, Nora Raschle, is that “the brain’s ability to process speech sounds is poor, even before these children learn to read.” On the contrary, who had a high activation in this brain region, had better reading skills, such as rhyme, knowledge of letters and their sounds.

To Raschle, this finding is good news: “Early identification of children likely to develop dyslexia can help reduce the negative consequences they face from the standpoint of social and psychological.” Throughout the article points out that many studies have shown that those affected tend to have bad experiences at school, are labeled as lazy or unmotivated, and sometimes frustration leads to antisocial and impulsive behaviors, and a greater risk of leaving school.

As Anna says Sans, coordinator of the Learning Disorders Unit (UTAE) Neurology Service, Hospital San Joan de Deu (Esplugues de Llobregat, Barcelona), “and studies have shown that the difference between brain functioning normal readers and dyslexic can ‘reverse or mitigate “with a very early rehabilitation.”

One very positive that requires some caution. “It’s very difficult to determine exactly which areas are affected. The brain is very complex,” clarifies Dr. Lorenzo. He adds, “we must keep in mind that perhaps the reduction of metabolic activity in certain brain areas is not due to dyslexia but because the child has not developed this area (and may follow). ” At these ages, in the course of a year, maturational differences are important and do not represent a problem. To understand this, “you can talk to two or three years, but not to be considered normal until four.”

In short, “until it comes time to practice the skill of reading and understanding (six years or so), you can not do anything. Only then, we recommend a continued support in the school years of rehabilitation and specific work to help the affected, “argues the Spanish neurologist. Then, as an adult, “be aware of this difficulty and know you have to spend more time, attention and effort, as when you read in English and are bilingual. You know you have to go slow.”

It is estimated that between 5% and 17% of small has dyslexia, ie, problems with reading, poor spelling, difficulty recognizing words fluently and understand what they read. Those who see in the neurology, says Dr. Lawrence, “in addition to dyslexia have other problems, especially hyperactivity and attention and so we keep them on drug therapy.” But the work requires only isolated dyslexia, rehabilitation and perseverance, “not to cure but to evolve.”

Smoking after cancer

Posted: 26 Jan 2012 01:05 AM PST

Scientists at Harvard University have found that a group “considerable” of patients with colorectal cancer or lung cancer continue to smoke after their diagnosis, as published by the journal ‘Cancer’.

When a patient is diagnosed with cancer, the main goal is to treat the disease, but leave the snuff is also important because “continued smoking may adversely affect patients’ responses to treatments, the risk of subsequent cancer and possibly their survival “, say the authors.

The work, led by Dr. Elyse R. Park, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston (Massachusetts), analyzed whether patients diagnosed with cancer quit smoking and what was more likely .

The researchers compared rates of smoking at the time of diagnosis and five months later in 5338 patients with colorectal and lung cancer.

At the time of diagnosis smoked for 39% of patients with lung cancer and 14% of patients with colorectal cancer.

Five months later, 14% of patients with lung cancer were current smokers and 9% of the colorectal .

Profile of patient smoking

The results suggest that patients with lung cancer have higher rates of smoking before and after diagnosis, while patients with colorectal cancer are less likely to quit smoking after a diagnosis.

According to the authors of the study, these data provide information about patients with cancer may need help to quit smoking.

They analyzed patients and its relationship to snuff and identified somefactors and characteristics that predict that the patient continues smoking by type of cancer.

In the case of patients with lung cancer, said that they have a body mass index lower and less emotional support, have not received chemotherapy or have had surgery, have had a prior heart disease, and smoked a large number of cigarettes a day at some point in their lives.

In colorectal cancer patients who continued smoking, the researchers found that men tended to be with a lower educational level, uninsured, who have not been operated and have been heavy smokers.

“These findings may help doctors identify cancer patients who are at risk of smoking and guide the development of counseling treatment for cancer patients,” said Dr. Park.

In an editorial accompanying the article, Carolyn Dressler, Department of Health of Arkansas at Little Rock, said the research underscores thecritical importance of health personnel to help the patient to leave the snuff, especially at the time of diagnosis.

“Most physicians recognize the importance of dealing with their patients how to stop using snuff, however, few do,” he wrote.

“We know enough now to implement effective programs to identify and help cancer patients to stop smoking at the time of diagnosis and support to prevent relapse. Thus, we can enhance the response of patients to therapy, your quality of life and longevity, “said Dressler.

A healthy lifestyle can prevent cancer

Posted: 05 Jan 2012 11:23 PM PST

The total amount of the number of cancers has increased by 20 percent in less than a decade to the point are detected each year about 12 million new cases per year along with other chronic diseases like heart disease, lung disease and diabetes make up the biggest health challenges, according to the fund.

In a report on noncommunicable diseases (NCD), the WRCF said that political leaders have the unique opportunity to combat a wave of cancer and other ailments related to lifestyle. This group of diseases annually cause more than 36 million deaths according to World Health Organization (WHO), and increase to 52 million in 2030.

As global health experts point to many deaths from NCDs, including about one third of all common cancers could be prevented by reducing excessive alcohol consumption, improving diet, discouraging smoking and promoting physical activity.

To achieve these goals requires the implementation of government measures such as taxes or limits on advertising to overcome these bad habits. These measures may involve a conflict with the industries of alcohol, snuff and food. As noted by the medical and scientific adviser WRCF, Martin Wiseman, “with millions of lives at risk around the world, the stakes are incredibly high.”

“People still do not realize that factors such as alcohol and obesity affect the risk of cancer, while at the same time, from television advertising on food, our society functions in a way that discourages people to adopt healthy habits, “he added.

The UN meeting, scheduled for 19 and 20 September in New York (USA), is aimed at preventing this global health threat. Still, there are fears that the major players (U.S., Europe and Japan) are reluctant to commit to setting goals, taxes and laws to reduce the burden of these diseases.

Practicing Pilates to fight breast cancer

Posted: 05 Jan 2012 05:21 PM PST

As I recall, many women tend to leave the physical activity performed by detecting breast cancer, a fact that remains during treatment and even when it has overcome cancer.

However, numerous studies have shown that physical exercise is an effective and safe alternative to improve the quality of life of affected women because, well known physiological benefits as increased functional ability, increased muscle strength, reduced fatigue or increased pain control, induces an emotional improvement.

In this sense, GEICAM suggest that “a very good choice” may be the pilates, being “a type of exercise that adapts to all ages and fitness, even the sick or convalescent.”

Also, remember that encourage a reduction in anxiety and depression, improve self-esteem, cause a greater sense of control and satisfaction with life are some of the potential benefits of this practice.

Experts recommend starting with two-three sessions with a particular monitor that will monitor that does not feel any discomfort, while recognizing that later, when the patient knows what it is and the basic postures, we recommend joining sessions group and even practice at home.

Along with the chapter on pilates, “Geysalus” in this issue includes an article about the role of genetic counseling units in cancer, since in the majority of tumors there is no prior genetic predisposition.

According to doctors recommend Ares Ignacio Blanco and Solanes, authors of the report, evidence is accompanied by a genetic counseling (genetic counseling), both before and after procedures.

One in four children has vision problems
One drink a day is healthy
Prevent back pain 8 years

One in four children has vision problems

Posted: 05 Jan 2012 07:20 AM PST

In fact, as explained by its president, Juan Carlos Martinez Moral, “nearly 30 percent of cases of school failure due to visual problems.”

With the start of the course the eyes of the students’ work at full capacity “because they have to face several hours of daily classes, reading, studying, playing sports, extracurricular activities and homework, while at home after continue using the console or computer.

This means that between 5 and 10 percent of preschoolers and 25 percent of schoolchildren have vision problems as nearsightedness, farsightedness, strabismus, and so on.

The problem with these cases is that children rarely complain of vision problems, so that “sometimes it is difficult to detect.”

“It is necessary to carry out visual checks and also assess the ability to understand,” says Martinez Morales, who recalls that “it is best to go to the optometrist consultation at least once a year, especially now at the beginning of school year. “

But apart from this annual review, offers parents and teachers to be aware of a number of symptoms of schoolchildren often indicate the presence of vision problems, such as frowning, squinting or turning the head and neck to look near or far.

They should also note whether the child is irritating to the eyes when writing or reading, itchy and rubs her eyelids frequently, if often complains of headaches or trips with ease, due to the deficiency in the sense of depth.

One drink a day is healthy

Posted: 04 Jan 2012 10:19 PM PST

This follows from the results of a study led by Professor Qi Sun, Harvard School of Public Health, published this week the journal “PLoS Medicine”, thus suggesting that women alcohol consumption, regular and moderate alcohol during middle age (average age 58 years) is associated with good health in general, ie with no chronic diseases such as heart disease or diabetes, cognitive impairment or significant physical or mental health limitations when exceeding 70 years.

The authors define this good health as “successful aging”. The authors use information on food questionnaires involving 121,700 registered nurses in the Study of Health in the U.S. Nurses (starting in 1976) to assess alcohol consumption nurses in middle age. Then, the authors included in their analysis the vast majority (98.1%) of participants who were not heavy drinkers, and examined the state of health in 13,984 women who spent 70 years.

After discounting other factors like smoking, which can affect health, the authors found that women who drank between one third and one drink per day had a 20% higher chance of having a general good health when they are older compared with nondrinkers.

In addition, women who drank this amount of alcohol regularly had better general health than occasional drinkers: women compared with nondrinkers, women who drank five or seven days a week had opportunity to have almost 50% more than good health in general, when they were older.

The authors conclude that “these data suggest that regular moderate consumption of alcohol in midlife may be associated with modest improvement in overall health among women who survive to older ages.”

According to the researchers, “Dietary Guidelines of the Department of Agriculture United States in 2010 included that moderate alcohol consumption – up to one drink per day for women and up to two for men – may provide health benefits. Our data support this recommendation and ensure the evidence that moderate alcohol consumption in middle age can benefit overall health at older ages. “

Prevent back pain 8 years

Posted: 04 Jan 2012 05:18 PM PST

Today, half of children and 69 percent of girls between 13 and 15 years has had back pain sometime in their life, which increases your risk of having a chronic or adult limitations.

“You lose a lot of quality of life with these diseases”, notes the WTO president, Juan Jose Rodriguez Sendin, who recalls that “arise from simple reasons” but can be avoided with a “simple advice” from an early age.

In fact, this year’s campaign focuses on children of 8 years using the “Back Comics,” a comic book that includes a few tips to prevent these diseases and prevent their recovery in the case of to appear.

In addition, a study by the Kovacs Foundation has shown that its distribution in schools is an effective prevention measure, we propose that similar initiatives be distributed in schools.

One of the main causes of these back pain is the weight of backpacks carried by school children, whose weight should never exceed 10 percent of their body weight.

For Dr. Francisco Kovacs, president of the Foundation with the same name, a solution to reduce the weight of the load carrying schoolchildren and duration of transport would be the installation of lockers in the schools or the division into several volumes textbooks.

BEST backpack with wheels

Also warns that if the child has to bear the school material better a backpack with wheels and, if it’s tight, take it with both handles and subject so close to the body as possible with a belt, so that not wobble.

Also, another key aspect is the physical activity and exercise training, “indispensable to the spine acquires its final form and with a positive effect for the prevention and treatment of back pain,” says Kovacs.

In fact, remember that a sedentary lifestyle hinders normal bone growth of the spine, leads to loss of muscle strength and endurance and makes the back more vulnerable to overload.

To avoid this, according to Rodriguez Sendin added, it is necessary “to get children to enjoy playing the sport they do in school” instead of choosing “the burger off the” Play Station “or watching television.”

Anti-inflammatory drugs doubles the risk of abortion

Posted: 04 Jan 2012 07:17 AM PST

NSAIDs are a class of drugs including ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac and celecoxib, and are the most common medications used during pregnancy. However, there are concerns about the use of these drugs during pregnancy, although studies on the risks so far have been inconsistent.

Researchers at the University of Montreal (Canada), CHU Sainte-Justine, Quebec (Canada) and the Ecole Nationale de la Statistique et de l ‘Analyse de l’ Information in Rennes (France), conducted a study to determine the risk of miscarriage associated with NSAIDs. We studied a total of 4705 cases of miscarriage up to 20 weeks of gestation, 352 (7.5%) of these pregnant women taking NSAIDs.

Of the 47,050 women in the control group that had abortions, 1,213 (2.6%) had been exposed to NSAIDs. Data comes from the Quebec Pregnancy Registry, which provides information on prescriptions, doctor visits, diagnoses, and hospitalizations during pregnancy.

Women in the study were aged between 15 and 45 years on the first day of gestation and were insured by the Régie de l ‘Assurance Maladie du Québec (RAMQ), covering their medications for at least a year before and during the pregnancy. Exposure to NSAIDs was defined as taking some kind of anti-inflammatory, at least once during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy or within two weeks before the start of pregnancy.

Ibuprofen is the only NSAID available without prescription in Quebec, although women in the RAMQ drug plan would have to purchase prescriptions. Naproxen was the NSAID most commonly used followed by ibuprofen.

“The use of NSAIDs during early pregnancy was associated with a statistically significant increased risk (2.4 times) risk of spontaneous abortion,” says Dr. Anick Bérard of the Université de Montréal and director of the Research Unit Medications and Pregnancy at CHU Ste-Justine.

The increased risk associated with diclofenac and lowest risk with rofecoxib. However, the dose of NSAIDs did not appear to affect the hazard rate. These findings are consistent with other studies, but are new with respect to the types and doses of NSAIDs.

“Given that the use of NSAIDs during early pregnancy increases the risk of congenital malformations, and our results suggest an effect on the risk of spontaneous abortion detected clinically, NSAIDs should be used with caution during pregnancy,” conclude the authors.

Varied diet to overcome the crisis post-holiday

Posted: 03 Jan 2012 11:16 PM PST

This has been explained on Sunday in a statement the Government, which has detailed that this syndrome causes physical and mental performance of people is lower than usual until they get re-adjust.

Katerine Dr. Garcia stressed that the return of the holiday is a good time to come up with new dishes in the kitchen, but has stated that the diet “to lose weight” during the post-holiday period “should not be an imposition, a punishment, but a new and exciting life habit. “

Garcia explained that many patients with excess weight and associated problems after the summer period, especially middle-aged people, because during the summer “we can gain weight if you do not care about our food, as it ice cream can be abused, if they are creamy many calories as well as nuts, alcoholic beverages and foods especially “precooked” and outside the home, which are generally high-calorie, “he underlined.

Faced with this situation, should adopt a positive attitude, avoiding “patching the health problem” that is overweight. “This is achieved by learning to eat healthy on a diet not only closed, it is very easy to get bored and, therefore, abandon,” said endocrinologist.

The loss of dietary habits during the summer “at the bottom means” a wrong learning from them, so the galena considered “fundamental” general education of the patient to let you know the basics of healthy eating.

According to Garcia, this work “can not be done in one day”, but requires several sessions, so that the first query is made on a diet “closed” which is given to the patient “as a guide to learning the diet healthy, that he is capable of producing. “

The endocrinologist said the practice of a hypocaloric balanced diet and regular physical exercise as the main recommendations to combat obesity and maintaining good health, while favoring the adaptation to the routine after the “excesses” of the summer .

New and improved DNA detection method

Posted: 03 Jan 2012 11:14 PM PST

The LTS is able to quickly determine the size, shape and number of nanoparticles in suspension. In the article, published in “PLoS ONE”, the researchers describe how LTS is applied to detect specific DNA species.

The research was carried out in collaboration with the Environmental Change Initiative of Notre Dame (ECI, for its acronym in English). ECI scientists are currently working with environmental DNA (eDNA) as part of its monitoring of Asian carp in the Great Lakes region.

Scientists at Notre Dame shows that the LTS technique has many advantages over the techniques of traditional DNA detection, this new technique is very sensitive and only takes a few seconds to score a sample genetically with the presence or absence of species.

As they say, LTS technology is much faster, convenient and cost effective than current detection methods and, ultimately, could reach the sensitivity necessary to eliminate the need for chain reaction (PCR).

Although this paper describes the use of LTS in the detection of invasive species, Notre Dame researchers believe the technique could also serve as an important tool in the detection of human pathogens, and as an indicator of the presence of genetic diseases such as cancer.

“Aspirin” to treat migraine and tension headache

Posted: 03 Jan 2012 05:13 PM PST

The findings, published in “American Headache Society, Headache”, reveal that acetylsalicylic acid may be effective even when these two pains are intense.

The study includes a retrospective analysis conducted between 1998 and 2002 on acetylsalicylic acid made based on 2127 patients with acute migraine and individual study in 326 patients with episodic tension headaches.

Numerous studies have shown that “Aspirin” Bayer is well tolerated by following the instructions of the prospectus. Specifically, in Spain, is licensed for the symptomatic relief of occasional mild or moderate pain, including headaches, dental, menstrual cramps, muscle or back pain or fever.

Traffic pollution is the most toxic

Posted: 03 Jan 2012 07:12 AM PST

The study, prepared by the Centre for Research in Environmental Epidemiology (Creal) and the Institute of Environmental Assessment and Water Research (IDEA-CSIC), is based on data between 2003 and 2007 and states that, in a high traffic day The number of daily deaths increased by 6% above average.

Behind the car fumes, particles harmful to health emanate from construction dust, sulfates of shipping and industry.

“The particles from traffic are more toxic than those with another source because there are more of ultrafine particles and chemicals,” said in a statement co-director Jordi Sunyer Creal.

The study, the researchers said, is for people to reduce their exposure to these components, and point as a suggestion to minimize exposure to traffic fumes during peak times and not exercising or cycling near the main roads.

15% of the elderly has been dropped

For this reason, the Mapfre Foundation is developing in recent months the campaign `With great care,” which has already been presented in 30 Spanish cities and now has developed at the Teatro Liceo de Salamanca.

In this presentation have been the director of the Institute for the Prevention of Mapfre Foundation, Antonio Guzman, and Councilwoman Family and Equal Opportunities of the City of Salamanca, Cristina Klimowitz.

In this act, Antonio Guzman explained that they are “very important” prevention efforts to try to reduce accidents among older households. It has therefore called for measures to promote safe and comfortable homes, improve lighting, avoid the use of carpets and rugs, furniture removed for greater mobility and proposals healthy eating and exercise.

This same position has remained Councilwoman Family and Equal Opportunities, who underlined that accommodate households to be more healthy and promote an active life in older will help them to maintain greater independence and security.

Less than five hours sleep promotes obesity
Stress-free babies have fewer allergies
Yawns are contagious among family

Less than five hours sleep promotes obesity

Posted: 02 Jan 2012 07:09 AM PST

“In the last decade has revealed the existence of a close correlation between a few hours sleep and an increased risk of being obese,” said the president of SEEN, Dr. Javier Salvador.

“That is why to prevent the development of obesity in our society and to try to make obese people lose weight, along with the required lifestyle changes (diet and exercise), you must sleep at least seven or eight hours day, “he added.

In this sense, the president of SEED, Professor Felipe Casanueva, pointed to scientific evidence that obese children sleep less than children who have “normal weight”.

This expert has warned of “big problem” posed by childhood obesity, “since a high percentage of obese children remains the disorder as adults.”

Sleep deprivation leads to an increase of all the hormones that encourage the appetite “and specifically intake of foods rich in fat and sugars,” said Casanueva. For this reason, the expert has opted to sleep at least eight hours a day to maintain a healthy weight.

The 23 percent of the Spanish population over 18 is obese, a condition that increases the risk of other serious diseases such as diabetes mellitus type 2, hypertension, sleep apnea-hypopnea sleep, and various types of neoplasms such as colon cancer.

Stress-free babies have fewer allergies

Posted: 01 Jan 2012 11:08 PM PST

In recent decades, the incidence of allergies in children has increased, especially in the West. In Sweden, between 30 and 40 percent of children suffer some type of allergy.

A combination of environmental factors and lifestyle during pregnancy and early childhood may be responsible for the sharp increase in allergic diseases.

According to Fredrik Stenius, Department of Clinical Research and Education, Stockholm South General Hospital, “psychosocial factors and stress hormone cortisol are associated with allergies.”

“Our study found that children with low levels of cortisol in saliva have a lower prevalence of allergies in the first two months of life compared with other children,” he says.

These scientists had previously described a link between a lower prevalence of allergies in school and healthy lifestyle. According to Stenius, “now have the same link in children of families with healthy lifestyle and those with relatively low cortisol levels.”

The researchers believe that factors related to stress regulation may also influence the development of allergies in children, so now will the children from the neonatal period and into childhood.

Yawns are contagious among family

Posted: 01 Jan 2012 05:07 PM PST

The act of yawning has always been seen as “contagious” and that when someone yawns in a group, there are people around who do the same by accident. Moreover, this reaction, common in nearly half of the population is not unique to humans and has also been found in many animals such as chimpanzees.

Although this infection has never been fully explained, there are theories that suggest that may be linked to empathy between people, something that was reinforced with a previous study with children with autism, who tend to be less able to empathize with others, that showed they were less likely to do them.

From this finding, researchers at the University of Pisa looked at 109 men and women in a variety of nationalities in their daily activities and took a record of the times in which they were yawning contagious.

The study found that it was more likely to occur between members of the same family, a little less with friends and even less between acquaintances and strangers.

Moreover, the time between the yawn and the response was greater among acquaintances and strangers, which “demonstrates that the contagion of yawns is primarily generated by the emotional closeness between individuals and not by other variables such as gender and nationality,” said the researchers.

Dr Catriona Morrison, an experimental psychologist at the University of Leeds (United Kingdom), acknowledged in an interview to the BBC, gathered by Europa Press, subconscious primitive response that may shed light on human brain evolution.

Morrison has said that “some suggested that developed in the stone age when people had to be watching all the time because, as the yawn increases the flow of blood to the brain and increases alertness.”

Primary support to stop smoking
Spicy Broccoli to fight cancer
Naturopaths call for a regulation of their profession

Primary support to stop smoking

Posted: 01 Jan 2012 07:06 AM PST

In a statement, the institute has shown that 75 percent of the people included in the study were not raised in the near future leaving snuff, while the intervention of the family doctor and nurse alike has helped those who wanted to leave immediately as it is not raised.

The study is based on differentiating people who want to quit smoking in the near future is not, and apply different interventions: the person who raised it should reconsider the role of the snuff in his life, and the pros and cons to kick the habit, finding their own reasons.

On the other hand, people who already want to quit, need specific strategies and in some cases a drug and, although the intervention varies, the end results are similar in both cases.

Thus, primary care can play a key role in these stages, since the people in your life for several reasons consult in primary care, some of them associated with snuff consumption, although most do not.

Although the vast majority of people know that the consumption of snuff is harmful, one-third of the adult population smokes, and many times people leave when they have posed a serious health problem.

The profile of people who have participated in the study is very similar to the smoker in Spain: an average age of 43 years, smoking initiation at 16 and take 26 years smoking about 20 cigarettes a day.

Of these, half are women of middle and lower class and are mostly sedentary, also by 44 percent report having health problems related to snuff.

The study asked more than 2,800 smokers, most of whom consulted for smoking cessation, and for that we have involved 82 centers, 172 professionals and 13 regions, with a follow-up period of two years.

Spicy Broccoli to fight cancer

Posted: 31 Dec 2011 11:04 PM PST

… significantly increase their anticancer properties and ensures that the absorption occurs in the upper gastrointestinal tract, where it will get maximum benefit for health.

“To achieve this effect, it must be accompanied or spice up their own broccoli sprouts, mustard, horseradish or wasabi. The hotter the better, that means it is effective,” said Elizabeth Jeffery, a professor of nutrition at the University of Illinois and co-author of the study.

The study, published in the “British Journal of Nutrition” when the subjects ingested fresh broccoli sprouts with broccoli powder, scientists were able to detect bioactive compounds in the blood within 30 minutes of intake. After three hours, the amount of the compound was higher when the food had been consumed together. Urine samples corroborated the results, said Jenna Cramer, author of the study.

This study shows that even if the broccoli is cooking too, can increase your profits even if ingested together with other foods that contain myrosinase.

Although broccoli powder does not contain myrosinase, it does contain, however, the precursor of the anticancer agent sulforaphane. When taken together in the experiment, shoots myrosinase gave their dust. As expected, both produced sulforaphane, providing greater benefit against cancer, says Jeffery.

Other foods that increase the benefits of broccoli, if consumed along with this plant are radishes, cabbage, arugula, watercress and Brussels sprouts.

Another benefit is that myrosinase, the enzyme being present, sulforaphane is released in the first part of the digestive system. Thus, the absorption takes place successfully and quickly.

According to scientists, only three to five servings of broccoli a week provide a protective benefit against cancer.

Naturopaths call for a regulation of their profession

Posted: 31 Dec 2011 05:03 PM PST

Naturopaths see the “need” regular “dignify” their profession in Spain, based on the experiences that are at European level in countries such as Portugal, Germany and the United Kingdom.

The Organisation advocates Naturopathic College follow the German model that protects naturopathy and recognizes the right of anyone to choose the profession you want.

Explains the vice president of the German Foundation of Naturopathy (FDH), Ursula Hilpert Mühlig, the requirements for the Germanic country naturopath based on “be over 25 years, successful completion of secondary education, no criminal record and approve the testing by the government to act as such. “

To Hilpert, the advantage of recognizing this profession is that “both professionals and patients have to choose between each of the methods includes naturopathy because all are included in this name.”

In the words of the expert, in Germany, naturopaths can “diagnose, perform and recommend therapy,” but points out that “can not prescribe medications that are prescription and can not treat diseases of the teeth, microbial pathogens or infectious diseases.”

The regulation of the profession would, among other matters, as they say from the organization, “the free movement between EU countries, with mutual recognition of degrees, diplomas, certificates and accreditations.” Also, avoid “conflict” with other professions, as “well defined would be an area of knowledge and professional skills,” they conclude.

New Website with useful information for celiacs

Posted: 30 Dec 2011 07:02 AM PST

The goal is “www.celiacos.org” is to make available to its users updated documentation and available for download on the developments taking place in the market and affecting the group. For this reason, has included a series of links interest or documents as the amendments to the list of foods suitable for celiacs, where visitors can see all the actions being undertaken by CFE and the latest news about celiac disease.

As explained by the FACE manager, Marta Teruel, “with the new FACE web we convey an idea of proximity, ease and timeliness, we describe values to the federation. We hope that all users can find what they need quickly and feel that this site is a rallying point for resolving all doubts are. “

The site tries to differentiate the two types of information of interest to the user. Thus, a menu appears where the information is general in several sections that deal with FACE, Partnerships, celiac disease or gluten-free diet. Each of these sections contains information “complete and useful” to help deal with a more simple and routine diagnosis of celiac.

The portal also has another menu with more specialized information on which stand apart as “of interest”, which are grouped the books and documents published by FACE, financial aid information, legislation and information for companies that want to include their products in the “List of Food Suitable for Celiacs”.

In this section is “Leisure and Tourism”, where the federation collects all information about hotels, restaurants, campgrounds, parks and leisure centers.

Recommend using moisturizers throughout the year

Posted: 29 Dec 2011 11:02 PM PST

The moisture loss is manifested by a lack of smoothness, elasticity and luminosity. They can appear dehydration wrinkles in the cheeks and eye area.

Dehydrated skin is one that loses water excessively by the level of humidity, temperature extremes (both high and low), wind, sun and UV radiation.

Another cause dehydration of the skin may be prolonged or repeated contact with water due to excessive hygiene. Similarly, the soaps are not adapted to the physiological conditions of the skin or abrasives such as pumice or mitt, can also be a cause.

Some medications (retinoids, corticosteroids) and eczema outbreaks that occur when working in certain professions, like hairdressing or building, also dry the skin. In addition, aging reduces hormonal hydrolipidic components that form the skin’s protective barrier.

According to Professor of Dermatology at the University of Granada and member of the AEDV, Dr. Rosa Ortega, a number of routines that can be taken “to prevent the skin to become even more fragile.”

Among the recommendations, Ortega advised to “gently remove makeup, apply a moisturizer every day to maintain an adequate level of hydration and restore function of the stratum corneum barrier.” Also remember that “solar radiation also dehydrates the skin, so moisturizing is recommended to choose a filter or apply moisturizer and then sunscreen.”

In addition, the doctor explained that there are some “golden rules” for skin care among which are: choosing a suitable texture to your skin type, season or climate, attention to sensitive areas, it is indispensable to exfoliation, choose hypoallergenic makeup.

Nuts to reduce breast cancer risk

Posted: 29 Dec 2011 05:00 PM PST

The research is published in the latest edition of “Nutrition and Cancer”.

Walnuts contain multiple components, such as Omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and phytosterols, which individually have shown that slow cancer growth.

Several previous studies have demonstrated the ability of a walnut diet to slow the growth of tumors.This new study goes a step further and confirms the significant role of walnuts in a healthy diet.

Specifically, the research of Dr. Hardman compared the effects of a typical diet with a diet supplemented with walnuts throughout the life span of rodents: through the mother from conception to weaning and then through eating food directly. The amount of nuts included in the diet equivalent to about 56 grams or two handfuls a day for people.

The researcher says that during the period studied, the group whose diet included walnuts developed breast cancer in less than half the rate of the typical diet group. Moreover, the number of tumors and their sizes were significantly smaller.

“This reduction is very important because the mice were genetically programmed to develop cancer at high rates,” said Hardman, who says that his team was “able to reduce the risk of cancer even in those mice with genetic mutations that already exist.”

Through genetic analysis, this study has shown that the walnut diet changes the activity of many genes relevant to breast cancer in mice and humans.
Other tests show that increasing omega-3 fatty acids is not the only cause and effect attest that the anti-cancer and tumor growth decreases with increasing the presence of vitamin E in the diet.

“The results of this study indicate that higher consumption of nuts would be part of a healthy diet and helps to reduce the risk of cancer in future generations,” said Dr. Hardman.

For this expert, “food is an important medicine: what we put into our body has a great influence, since it determines its operation, our relationship with disease and health.”

According to Karen Collins, nutrition adviser at the American Institute for Cancer Research, “we need this kind of studies examining the impact of whole foods and not only isolated nutrients. It is the way we eat, and research suggests that the way in which healthy foods protect us. “

“For example, nuts have a nutrient dense package of protective compounds such as antioxidants, phytosterols and fatty acids Omega 3 plant working in complete harmony,” he says.

In Spain, about 16,000 new cases diagnosed with breast cancer each year, according to the Spanish Association Against Cancer. It is estimated that 1 in 8 Spanish could suffer from this disease over their lifetime.

Some 5,700 women in this country die each year from this cancer, accounting for 16.7 percent of all cancer deaths of women in Spain and 3.3 percent of all deaths among women.

Fish oil is resistant to chemotherapy
Sleep at least 9 hours to perform in school
2nd Edition of the “Month of healthy eating”

Fish oil is resistant to chemotherapy

Posted: 29 Dec 2011 07:59 AM PST

This finding has been published in the latest issue of “Cancer Cell”.

According to new research, chemotherapy just in time, be ineffective due to two types of fatty acids that are produced by stem cells in the blood. Under the influence of cisplatin during chemotherapy, stem cells secrete fatty acids induce resistance in a wide range of chemotherapies.

These substances are known as fatty acid-induced platinum (PIFAs, for its acronym in English). Cisplatin is a platinum-based drug used to treat chemotherapy is widely used to treat cancer, including lung cancer and ovarian cancer.

The researchers studied the effect of PIFAs in mice and human cells. Studied mice with tumors under the skin, in normal conditions, the tumors shrink after chemotherapy administration.

In the study, after administration of fatty acids in mice, the tumors were insensitive to chemotherapy.The fatty acids were isolated from the environment where stem cells originated exposed to chemotherapy, but these stem cells in the blood of patients also produce fatty acids desensitizes the tumors to chemotherapy.

Fatty acids are also found in the market as fish oil supplements containing omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6, and in some algae extracts.

In experiments on mice, the tumors became insensitive to chemotherapy after administration of a normal amount of fish oil. The fish oil supplements are often consumed by patients with cancer, in addition to their regular treatment.

According to Professor Emile Voest, medical oncologist at Utrecht University Medical Center and supervisor of the investigation, “in cases of resistance to chemotherapy, generally believed that there had been changes in cancer cells. Now, we have shown that own body secretes protective substances in the blood that are powerful enough to block the effect of chemotherapy. “

“These substances are also found in some types of fish oil and that, pending the outcome of further investigations, we do not recommend its use to those receiving chemotherapy,” concluded the expert.

Sleep at least 9 hours to perform in school

Posted: 28 Dec 2011 11:58 PM PST

The investigation involved a total of 142 primary school students (65 girls and 77 boys) from various schools and no pathological changes that affect sleep, specifically found that those who sleep 8 or 9 hours have worse performance than those who sleep nine to eleven hours.

“Given the results, we believe that more than nine hours sleep and maintain good daily routine promotes academic achievement,” explains the researcher at the School of Psychology at UAB, Ramon Cladellas, author of the study.

The researchers developed a questionnaire for parents to pick up the habits and nocturnal sleep of their children and, in parallel, assessed a range of academic, communicative, methodological, and specific cross.

Thus, explains Cladellas told the News and Information Service Science (SINC), collected by Europa Press, noted that “69 percent of the students return home three or more days a week after 9 in the night or lie down at least four days per week after 11 pm. “

Also found that the sleep deficit and bad habits has produced negative effects especially in the more generic skills (communicative, methodological and transverse) are fundamental to academic performance.

Irregular sleep also affects

However, in some specific skills, more related to cognitive aspects such as memory, learning and motivation, the effect is minor and are affected mainly by irregular sleep patterns.

Thus, the lack of hours distorts the performance of children in the linguistic knowledge in the rules of grammar and spelling, as well as key aspects in the organization and understanding of texts.

“These are basic skills, so if the student, due to lack of sleep problems in this area develops, it can affect all areas,” explains Cladellas.

The authors conclude that maintaining adequate sleep hygiene at this age helps to develop positive cognitive and suggest the development of prevention programs about starting to raise awareness among parents and teachers.

Therefore, the expert concludes, “although today there is widespread concern because children are too glued to the TV with the machines, video games, but not given the same importance to have a habit of going to bed always at the same time. “

2nd Edition of the “Month of healthy eating”

Posted: 28 Dec 2011 04:55 PM PST

The company dedicated to health care has been launched for the second consecutive year this idea belongs to the “BeWell @ Baxter”, which aims “to promote healthy eating in the company’s own staff.”

The “Month of healthy eating,” which was held in November, also aims to “reduce the risk of developing chronic conditions such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease, which are closely related to poor diet and little physical activity, “say members of Baxter.

One of the activities to be developed is “The Day of the fruit,” in which employees received fresh fruit along with information about their properties. In addition, throughout the month have been published cookbooks with healthy recipes contributed by employees and has made a contest of knowledge about food.

For the little we have organized a workshop on healthy eating, in which the children of employees have received advice from a nutritionist.

Use moisturizers in winter

Posted: 28 Dec 2011 07:53 AM PST

Another of the tips provided by this expert are the use of cosmetics containing hydroxy acids, retinol and vitamin C to reduce superficial wrinkles. In the event that they are very marked, products with peptides that decrease muscle tone are recommended for her.

Also, the sunscreen, as used during the summer months should not be forgotten during this time of year, says Gutierrez Salmeron. People who practice winter sports, especially skiing, should use those with a higher degree of protection, he adds.

This specialist is recommended not to neglect the daily cleaning. In this sense, a gentle cleansing should be chosen which does not increase the daily aggression causes the cold, and avoid sudden temperature changes so often, when passing from the outside heated spaces, increasing the possibility of appearance of dilated vessels with unattractive redness.

In general, Gutierrez Salmeron advised to avoid alcohol intake and consumption of snuff because, along with the cold, reduce the cutaneous vasculature thus increasing redness and dehydration.

Anise and mint to combat indigestion

Posted: 28 Dec 2011 02:52 AM PST

The specialist has warned that the holidays are characterized by “the many celebrations, both work and family, and usually around a good table,” making it “very important to prevent any digestive disorders.”

In this sense, Puchades advised to “avoid heavy meals, especially fatty foods such as pork, lamb and eat sweets in moderation.” He adds that after a large intake of food, “it is advisable to take tea with mint or a few drops of anise to mitigate its effects and facilitate digestion.”

Similarly, the specialist in the Hospital Home Health also notes the importance of moderate alcohol intake, especially between meals and “above all, do not mix alcohol and stomach which may have consequences.”

In any case, said that people should keep a “special care are the ones that usually have a predisposition to suffer from stomach problems” and therefore have been advised to “take gastroprotective after consulting the doctor to avoid further trouble.”

The Valencian hospital specialist stressed that people with an illness such as diabetes, “is very important not to abandon the right treatment and diet, which often tend to do at this time, it can lead to a worsening of their disease. “

Finally, he made an “appeal for caution” because “at this time are also frequently toxic infections by eating improperly preserved foods such as raw fish, sauces, mayonnaise.

CLINICAL MANIFESTATION

The most common clinical manifestation of indigestion and toxi “is a feeling of abdominal distension and swelling accompanied by vomiting, heartburn or diarrhea,” the expert Hospital Nursing Home. These symptoms usually subside “spontaneously maintaining a fast of 24 hours of solid food without forgetting the fluid intake to maintain proper hydration.”

Also recommended, to combat indigestion, “make a meal with someone making sure that the following is lighter, eating slowly and chewing well and not go to bed before two hours of eating.” In addition, the specialist added, “we must maintain a minimum physical activity during the day as well to avoid situations that increase the intake air, such as chewing gum or smoking.”

Sleep disorders among police officers

Posted: 27 Dec 2011 02:51 AM PST

Sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea, insomnia and shift work disorders, affecting about 70 million Americans. Most cases go undiagnosed and untreated.

“Police officers often work extended shifts and perform intense weeks of work, which is associated with an increased risk of errors, unintentional injuries and car accidents. According to the data until 2003, a larger number of agents is killed because of unwanted side effects that for serious crimes. It has been hypothesized that fatigue, probably due to the reduction in the duration and quality of sleep and untreated sleep disorders may play an important role in the unintentional injuries and deaths among police officers. To date, the effect of sleep disorders on health, safety and performance of the police had not been investigated systematically, “the authors write.

Shantha Rajaratnam Dr, Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, and colleagues, conducted a study of police officers online and “in situ” between July 2005 and December 2007. A total of 3,693 officers in the United States and Canada participated in the survey on-line detection, and 1,264 staff members participated in the survey site. The average age of the officers was 38.5 years, with an average of 12.7 years of police service.

A total of 2,003 of the 4957 respondents (40.4 percent) had sleep disorders. Of the total, 1,666 (33.6 per cent) were positive for obstructive sleep apnea, the most common disorder, followed by 281 (6.5 percent) who had moderate to severe insomnia, and 269 (a 5, 4 percent) with shift work disorder.

The positive detection of any sleep disorder was associated with an increased risk to health and safety: 203 (10.7 percent) tested positive agents in sleep disorders reported having depression, 399 (34.1 per cent) claimed to suffer emotional exhaustion and 388 (20.0 percent) reported having fallen asleep at the wheel. Sleep disorders were also associated with diabetes, cardiovascular disease and high intake of caffeine.

The researchers also found that 28.5 percent of participants showed excessive sleepiness. Of those surveyed, 45.9 percent reported having nodded off or fallen asleep while driving.

In addition, participants who tested positive for any sleep disorder, were more likely to administrative errors, security breaches due to fatigue, not with anger to a citizen or a suspect and absenteeism.

“In conclusion, a large proportion of police officers in the sample showed a sleep disorder associated with adverse consequences for health, safety and work performance,” conclude the authors.

Psychoeducation and relaxation for fibromyalgia

Posted: 26 Dec 2011 04:50 PM PST

The project involved 216 patients and 108 randomly went to the intervention group where they received treatment consisting of 5 multi psychoeducation sessions and 4 sessions of relaxation.

In the educational sessions were talking about the typical symptoms of fibromyalgia, the medical conditions of comorbidity, the influence of psychosocial factors in pain, pharmacological and nonpharmacological treatments and the benefits of exercising regularly.

On the other hand, relaxation sessions in which there was a clinical psychologist were intended to increase the control of patients’ pain through self-relaxation exercises and mental health.

According to the study investigators, the results show a specific improvement of the patients in the intervention group in physical function in the best sense, pain and fatigue, and anxiety and depression.

Treating hypertension improves life expectancy

Posted: 26 Dec 2011 07:49 AM PST

Antihypertensive drug therapy reduces cardiovascular events in fatal and nonfatal controlled trials and meta-analysis, but so far no data on long-term increase in life expectancy.John B. Kostis, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, and colleagues conducted a study to examine its effect on blood pressure and life expectancy, analyzing data, long-term mortality of participants in the Program Systolic Hypertension in the Elderly (SHEP).

The study, randomized, placebo-controlled study was designed to evaluate the effect of antihypertensive treatment (chlorthalidone) in reducing the risk of stroke in patients with isolated systolic hypertension.

The time interval between the start of the analysis and determination of death was approximately 22 years (21 years and 10 months). Of the 4736 participants enrolled in the SHEP trial, 2,365 (49.9 percent) were randomized to active treatment therapy and 2371 (50.1 percent) were randomized to receive placebo. The average age of participants was 72 years, 57 percent were women and 14 percent black.

At follow-up, 2851 of 4736 randomized patients (a 60.2 per cent) had died, with 1,416 deaths (59.9 percent) in the active treatment group and 1,435 deaths (60.5 percent) in the placebo group.

The researchers found that life expectancy was higher in participants who were randomly assigned to the active group compared with the placebo group, in addition, the active treatment group was associated with increased cardiovascular death-free survival compared with the placebo group (669 deaths, compared to 735 deaths, respectively). According to scientists, the month of antihypertensive therapy in a day increases life expectancy free of cardiovascular death.

Nickel and selenium to prevent cancer of the RCAP

Posted: 25 Dec 2011 11:47 PM PST

In collaboration with U.S. researchers, Spanish researchers compared the levels in the body of 12 elements – heavy metals, metalloids and minerals – in 118 patients with pancreatic cancer and 400 hospital patients without this condition.

“We analyzed the concentrations of these elements in nails of over 500 people, and those levels are reliable indicators of what the body has accumulated over the past year,” said Nuria Malats, researcher of the group of genetic and molecular epidemiology of the CNIO and director of this study and Miquel Porta, coordinator of research in clinical and molecular epidemiology of cancer of the IMIM and researcher of this study.

“The results of analysis showed that patients who had higher levels of lead, were 6 times higher risk of developing pancreatic cancer, and patients with higher levels of arsenic and cadmium were between 2 and 3 times the risk of have the disease, “confirmed Malats.

However, the study also found that individuals with nickel and selenium levels had a high probability between 33% and 95% less to develop pancreatic cancer than those with lower levels of these elements.

High levels of selenium are associated with protection against certain types of cancer and previous research had shown that selenium may counteract the harmful effects of cadmium, arsenic and lead.

The study results are based even after taking into account other risk factors for pancreatic cancer, such as smoking, diabetes or being overweight.

The snuff is responsible for one third of cancers of the pancreas, containing different metals, including cadmium, a known carcinogen and has also been associated with an increased risk of lung cancer, kidney and prostate.

Eating less keeps the brain young

Posted: 25 Dec 2011 05:46 PM PST

According to experts, CREB1 in turn activates a series of genes linked to longevity and proper functioning of the brain.

The study was led by Giovambattista Pani, a researcher at the Institute of General Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, Catholic University of Sacred Heart in Rome, and Professor Achille Cittadini, in collaboration with Professor Claudio Grassi, Institute of Human Physiology . The research was published in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences” (PNAS).

“Our goal is to find a way to activate CREB1, for example, through new drugs, to keep the brain young without the need for a strict diet,” says Dr. Pani.

Caloric restriction means that mice could only eat up to 70 percent of the food they eat normally known way to prolong life, as seen in many experimental models.

Usually, with caloric restriction, mice do not become obese and develop diabetes, show greater cognitive and memory performance, and are less aggressive.

In addition, much later develop Alzheimer’s disease, and with less severe symptoms than animals overfed.

Many studies suggest that obesity impairs the brain, causing early aging, and making it more susceptible to diseases typical of the elderly such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, while, on the other hand, calorie restriction keeps the brain young. However, the precise molecular mechanism behind the positive effects of a hypocaloric diet in the brain was unknown until now.

The Italian team found that CREB1 molecule activated by caloric restriction, produces beneficial effects in the brain by activating another group of molecules related to longevity, sirtuins. This finding is consistent with the fact that CREB1 also regulates important functions of the brain that control memory, learning and anxiety, and its activity is reduced by the physiological aging.

On the other hand, researchers have found that CREB1 action can dramatically increase by simply reducing caloric intake, and have shown that CREB1 is absolutely essential to make calorie restriction in the brain. In fact, in mice lacking CREB1, the benefits of caloric restriction in the brain disappeared.

“Therefore, our findings identify for the first time an important mediator of the effects of diet on the brain,” concludes Dr. Pani, adding that “this discovery has important implications for developing future therapies to keep the brain young and prevent cerebral degeneration and the aging process. In addition, the study adds information on the correlation between metabolic diseases such as diabetes and obesity, and decreased cognitive activities. “

50% of early retirement due to back pain

Posted: 24 Dec 2011 11:45 PM PST

The ailments associated with the spine are experienced by between 80 and 90 percent of the population. Most cases are caused by overexertion when performing certain tasks, to position themselves in awkward postures or sedentary.

To solve it uses microsurgery, which is a minimally invasive technique. At present, these interventions have a 95 percent success rate for treating herniated discs and 97 percent for cases of lumbar canal stenosis.

However, surgery can be avoided if preventive measures are taken. Some of them are using a firm mattress to rest or physical exercise continuously.Perform these actions will strengthen the muscles of the lower back.

However, prevention is not something exclusive to middle-aged people, since from the age of 25 disks that make up the spine begin to age. Over the years, they gradually lose elasticity, until in old age his condition has deteriorated.

In women, it becomes necessary to back care, because “there is another important risk factor when it comes to suffer ailments related to the spine, which is the bone loss associated with osteoporosis and numerous fractures” said Villarejo.

Are reduced by almost 50% students smoking

Posted: 24 Dec 2011 05:43 PM PST

However, after alcohol, snuff is still the drug most abused by the Spanish students. It is followed, in descending order, cannabis, hypnosedatives, cocaine, hallucinogens, ecstasy, amphetamines and heroin.As indicated from Health, the reduction in consumption coincides with the increased perception of risk. Thus, 9 out of 10 students considered that smoking is dangerous for daily health and a majority are considered more dangerous than cannabis. By gender, it has become to see that women continue to smoke at higher rates than men.

The survey, conducted every two years since 1994, includes a sample of nearly 32,000 students aged 14 to 18 years in secondary schools throughout Spain. In this edition, which aims to further reveal trends in the consumption of legal and illegal drugs among school Spanish has been introduced for the first time a specific module on emerging drugs.

The data shows that the proportion of students from 14 to 18 who used drugs in 2010 has decreased compared to previous years. This reduction is also observed in cannabis and cocaine, the latter substance is declining and is at levels below those of 1998.

Thus, 73.6 percent of the students reported having consumed alcohol in the past year, snuff 32.4 percent, 26.4 percent cannabis, cocaine, 2.6 percent, 2.1 percent hallucinogens, 1.7 percent ecstasy, amphetamines 1.6 percent and 0.6 percent heroin.

By gender, the consumption of legal drugs such as snuff, alcohol or hypnosedatives is more common among women than among men. In contrast, men use illicit drugs at higher rates than women. And, by age, earlier onset drugs, ie between 13 and 14 are alcohol, snuff and volatile inhalants.

On the other hand, it appears that drug use increases with age and polydrug use is a pattern increasingly common among schoolchildren, both in Spain and other European Union countries. “Out of every 3 students between 14 and 18 years, one does not consume, consume another one substance and the latter consumes two or more substances,” he adds.

“THE SPIRIT: Protagonist”

“Alcohol plays a leading role,” said Health to speak of polydrug use. Although the evolution of alcohol shows a relatively stable trend, warns that 3 in 10 students aged between 14 and 18 acknowledge having been drunk in the last 30 days. So, have observed that the substance that is perceived less dangerous.

In this sense, 7, 10 students consumed alcohol in the last year and 6 out of 10 in the last 30 days. And less than half of respondents considered that take 5 or 6 drinks on a weekend can cause problems. By gender, there is a greater proportion of users among girls compared with boys and also a higher percentage of girls than boys who get drunk. However, the boys use alcohol more frequently.

On the other hand, cannabis is the illegal drug consumed by a greater percentage of young people, although the data of 2010 confirm the downward trend begun in recent years. In fact, with respect to the previous survey, 4 points reduces the proportion of schools that have at some time in the last year and 3 points in the case of those who have in the past month.

Currently, 33 percent of students have ever tasted in your life, 26.4 percent sometime in the last year and 17.2 percent have tried it in the last month.

These figures put cannabis consumption below those reported in 2000.

In the case of cocaine, is also confirmed for all frequencies of consumption, the downward trend that began in 2004. In 2010, 3.9 percent had used cocaine once in their lifetime, 2.6 percent did in the last year and 1.5 percent during the month prior to being surveyed. With these data, cocaine use among schoolchildren in Spain is lower than figures of 1998.

Hypnosedatives consumption is higher in women (6.7% last year) than men (4.4% last year), and the average age of onset is set at 14 years.

Regarding amphetamines, hallucinogens and ecstasy, from Health indicate that consolidates the downward trend begun in 2000 for consumption of these substances, as current figures are the lowest since the beginning of the surveys in 1994.

While heroin is the drug less consumed by students from 14 to 18 years. In 2010, 1 percent had ever tried, 0.6 percent had consumed in the last year and 0.5 percent in the month prior to the survey.

EMERGING DRUGS

In Spain, emerging drugs are consumed magic mushrooms (2.1%), Spice (1.1%) and ketamine (1.1%).Almost half of respondents are unaware of the health problems that can cause the substance for which they are asked and at least one third of those who use them know the problems not caused about your health.

Also, substances that students think are the most easily accessible magic mushrooms (50.3%), ketamine (40.2%) and spice (39.8%) and the hardest to get are the nexus, the mephedrone and piperazines.

“Their interest in this population study due to the popularity and accessibility of these drugs have increased in recent years, especially through the Internet, both in Spain and in Europe and the rest of the world, because it is a phenomenon global “they explain.

Brachytherapy to treat breast cancer
Beware of “binge” on Christmas!
Want to reform the anti-smoking law to make it more flexible

Brachytherapy to treat breast cancer

Posted: 24 Dec 2011 07:42 AM PST

The different types of APBI (external beam radiotherapy, intraoperative radiotherapy with multiple interstitial brachytherapy catheters or intracavitary balloon brachytherapy) deliver radiation to the breast tissue with a higher risk of recurrence.

The advantages of these techniques include decreased treatment time and less radiation from the unaffected parts of the breast and other tissues, but on the other hand, the disadvantages of APBI include the possibility that tumor cells are not found in the breast remain untreated, which could lead to increased local recurrence.

Because of the potential limitations of APBI in 2009, American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO, for its acronym in English) convened a group of breast cancer experts to develop criteria for the use of APBI outside of protocol. Were proposed, then, three groups of suitability for APBI: adequate, with caution and inadequate, and based on patient characteristics and clinical factors.

Due to the increasing popularity of particular APBIb, Jona Hattangadi, Department of Radiation Oncology, Brigham and Women Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston, and colleagues performed a retrospective analysis using data based Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER, for its acronym in English), specifically, data from women who had received APBIb or WBI between 2000 and 2007. The researchers classified the treatment of 138,815 women as “adequate”, “caution”, “unfit”.

Scientists found that in 3576 of 138,815 patients who had received APBIb: treatment by 32% was considered suitable, by 29.6% with reservations, and 36.2% unsatisfactory. APBIb general use increased from 0.4% in 2000 to 6.6% in 2007.

The results also show that there was a wide range of patterns of use in the United States by geographic regions, which makes greater use of APBIb despite clinical factors. There were also major racial and ethnic disparities regarding the use APBIb, white women are more likely to receive this treatment than black women.

On the other hand, women who live in cities are more likely to receive this treatment that women living in rural areas, although potentially the APBIb could offer greater convenience to the rural population.The authors conclude that “the great disparity in the use of APBIb suggests that the variation of the practice is justified, and not explained by illness, patient preferences, or evidence-based medicine.”

In an accompanying editorial, Simona F. Shaitelman, Department of Radiation Oncology, Anderson Cancer Center, University of Texas, says it is reassuring that the authors found that the greatest increase in the use of treatment occurred in patients classified as ‘adequate’.

According Shaitelman “in the future, it will be useful to analyze the latest trends in the use of APBI and document the changes in financial remuneration” and concludes by adding that “although population-based studies allow us to reflect on changes in the patterns of practice, we need results from large randomized trials to compare outcomes of patients with WBI and APBI. “

Beware of “binge” on Christmas!

Posted: 24 Dec 2011 02:54 AM PST

Speaking to Europa Press TV, the supervisor of the Department of Endocrinology and Nutrition IMEO, Ruben Bravo, has indicated that at this time a woman usually take two to three kilos and a man three or four, but has admitted patients that have come to increase between seven and nine kilos, so it advised to follow a series of “real advice” not to lose weight, but to prevent weight gain.

“We can not put people on a diet at Christmas because we are going to do so, then we tried to get some the concerns of the patients we see every day and have sought rules that are not very expensive (…). One of the tricks that we take is to focus on Christmas business lunches, family or end of the year and the end are three or four (days) and the rest of the time our goal is to lose kilos, “he explained.

For this reason advised to take this time as an addition and subtraction where we keep the total calories for the days indicated and subtraction to those around them. A diet a bit more low-calorie, balanced and has all the food groups, is ideal for every day of holidays, as this period begins on the bridge of the Constitution and ends on Three Kings Day.

The second tip is to launch what Bravo calls “appetizer effect”, which is half an hour before a heavy meal, eat foods low in calories, so that the body has time to segregate the stimulus of satiety, and thus arriving at the main meal less hungry. He also noted that a common mistake is to omit meals a day of events.

BUY FOOD FAIR

“The problem with holiday meals is not the main course but calorie entrees and desserts and alcoholic drinks,” he qualified. In this regard it advisable to replace any of several less heat, such as changing the croquettes to grilled shrimp or dried fruit typical starters for vegetables in the oven.

Finally, the nutritionist added that people who do not want to see changed weight after the first week of January, should be especially careful with the toast. “Beer and (wine) red are the least fattening, if we put a drink with calories as cola, what we are doing is accelerating the process of converting calories we are taking in fat. This makes us fat glasses before, “he noted.

In addition, you need to buy food just because it is a good thing not only for health but also for the pocket, so it is essential to calculate the diners and rations thus avoiding being for two or three days after celebrations, use the “leftovers”. “We can use an economy that will help us to go a little cheaper food, for example, substitute a stuffed turkey fish moving in the same calories but it costs us a little less,” he advised.

“Christmas was a catastrophe”

Miguel Fernandez is a IMEO clinic patient who, concerned by the problem of obesity and health consequences, decided to call on experts to lose the kilos to spare. They managed to reduce their weight considerably and also change their living habits, eating healthy and beginning to “see” sports physical activities.

“I went to IMEO hoping to solve a problem that since childhood had been badgered me that was my problem of obesity, I weighed almost 100 kilos, and well, I came here and gave me the solution. I am content to take everything that weight above but the reality is that I ended up learning to keep a healthy lifestyle, eat well and to appreciate the sport, “confessed Michael.

The Christmas period was a “catastrophe” for the patient, as in the days before “looked forward” to reach the feast “to eat all the wrong thing,” but then had remorse. “When that ended was horrible because I looked at the mirror, the scale does not lie and everyone will say:” As you’ve gotten, ‘”he stated.

“I’ve been coming several years because it solved my problem but I am a person with a tendency to gain weight, and need to be in supervision. I changed my whole way of life, I have not only lost weight but I have learned to keep a favorable health status ( …). Someone once said that sport and healthy living are the XXI century prozac, I bet so, it changes your life for the better, of course, yes, “has ruled.

Want to reform the anti-smoking law to make it more flexible

Posted: 24 Dec 2011 02:42 AM PST

Speaking to Europa Press, the two organizations have shown this Sunday, thus supporting a possible reform by the next prime minister, Mariano Rajoy, who acknowledged in a recent interview that he “liked” the old anti-smoking law, which allowed smoking in bars and restaurants.

Specifically, the president of the Union of tobacconists, Jorge Lopez, expressed his support for the possibility of removing the current Act, and supports modification to “cut a little incident which occurred in hotels, especially in current economic times, but always respecting the non-smokers. “

Lopez has considered that the previous anti-smoking law was “not bad but not respected strictly” in the sense that the establishment of over 100 square feet “needed to enable spaces not exceed 30 percent with smoke extraction systems “.

In any case, recalled that local works undertaken to enable smoking areas “made some investments that have not recovered,” so that in its opinion, the previous law “was more balanced and guaranteed freedom for all.”

“Extremes are never good,” says Lopez, who believes that the current law “is an extreme solution,” while the previous standard was good because it was more respectful of the freedom of people and was less prohibitive, since in a same location could coexist smokers and nonsmokers in different areas. “

In case of modifications to current law, the president of the tobacconists think you should apply “similar to the previous model, where local smoking areas could enabled with the exception of service (no waiters) in these areas, protecting the So workers and non-smokers. “

Thus, consider that would activate the economy of a sector as important as the hotelier who has been harmed “by both the current crisis, as anti-smoking law.”

For his part, President of the Association of Bars and Restaurants in the Region of Murcia, Ignacio Sanchez, expressed his support for the possible modification of the current law because, in his opinion, smoking on the premises “never should have totally forbidden “but expressed his skepticism and caution because the rule” dictated by Europe and Europe is the boss. “

Sanchez complains that in Spain “always late for everything,” because the old law “forced us to modify certain local and investments were made” while the current standard “forced to make investments in terraces.”

Anyway, he was “delighted” with the possibility of amending the Act and to allow smoking inside the premises, because, in his opinion, is a question that needs regular “smoking areas and enable better control than before. “ “What can not be done is to prohibit” he remarks.

In this regard, notes that the current law “has forced many people take to the street, the neighbors are upset and lost sales, specifically, a decline of 20 percent in restaurant and between 10 and 15 percent in coffee shops, which together with the crisis has made sales down nearly 35 percent from two years ago. “

DOCTORS OPPOSE

In contrast, the president of the Murcia of Family and Community Medicine (Smumfyc) and family physician, Juan de Dios Gonzalez, has argued that the ban on smoking in restaurants and public spaces has been “a positive step that claiming we had family doctors for many years. “

In this sense, argues that revocation of such Act is “go back in time and lower the quality of air you breathe with the diseases that it can generate.” “The tobacconists may say that the sale of snuff decreases, but we can not forget that snuff causes many diseases and we have to do is avoid the use of snuff,” he added.

In this regard, he recalled that when one walks through the cities, the restaurants are “all crowded in a more pleasant environment, it stays longer and the air is not polluted.” It therefore considers that the Act “is fine as the back” would be a mistake and a negative point. “

God believes that probably the only problem is that the first anti-smoking law was “going with half measures and that produced some damage”, but believes that the Act as currently drafted “very positive”.
