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.

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

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

Posted: 02 Jan 2012 05:11 PM PST

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.

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. “

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”.

Olive oil helps prevent pancreatitis

Posted: 05 Dec 2011 07:24 AM PST

Therefore, it can be considered as potential functional ingredients in relation to the prevention or mitigation of the severity of this disease.

This emerges from a study by researchers at the Department of Physiology at the University of Granada, which analyzed various ingredients of the Mediterranean diet and what is their role, preventing or attenuating the cell damage.

Scientists have developed an in vitro experimental model that allows to know the influence of changes in the fatty acid profile of the membrane in vivo occurs through changes in the regular intake of the type of fat in the diet, showing how this change in membrane affect the response of the cell after causing oxidative damage in cerulein-inflammatory (acute pancreatitis).

This is the first study that has examined how fatty acids and antioxidants affect the cellular mechanisms of local inflammation in the pancreas. Scientists of the UGR have examined this issue from a preventive point of view, that is, through an experimental model in mice in which cell damage is induced post after pretreatment with the nutritional components.

The main author of this work, Maria Belen Lopez Millan notes that “there is increasing evidence that the origin of chronic diseases are common oxidative-inflammatory mechanisms underlying the initiation and development of these diseases. It is also known that Diet plays an important role acting through its components (nutrients and bioactive compounds) on these processes, avoiding or reducing the incidence of these pathological damage its antioxidant (phenolic compounds) and antiinflammatory (omega 3). “

Part of the results of this work, which was led by Professors Mariano Manas Almendros, Maria Dolores and Maria Dolores Yago Torregrosa Garcia Mesa, have been published in the journal Proceedings of the Nutrition Society.

The fair-skinned people have a lack of vitamin D

Posted: 05 Dec 2011 04:17 AM PST

This follows from the conclusions of a study published by the BBC on its website, which also suggests that there are people with fair skin to produce vitamin D unable even with abundant sun exposure. In these cases, the authors would be more advisable to use vitamin supplements.

The investigation involved 1,200 people of which 730 had vitamin D levels “below the optimum content.” Analyzing certain physiological traits, the study authors noted that the majority were people with very pale skin and freckles.

Vitamin D is important for healthy bones and teeth and, as I recall, most people get adequate levels with brief exposure to the sun, from 10 to 15 minutes a day.

However, in some cases should resort to vitamin supplements, especially in certain groups considered at risk since they have lower levels, such as dark-skinned people and those who are less exposed to sunlight, such as elderly , children or pregnant.

The results of this study show as “perhaps we should include people with light skin among these risk groups and recommend the use of supplements in these cases,” added the professor of the University of Leeds Julia Newton-Bishop, a author of the study.

The reason that could explain the deficiency of vitamin D in such cases is the fact that these people are protected from UV rays to prevent burns.

However, another hypothesis is that their own pigmentation may be a marker to detect individuals who have more problems to generate and process vitamin D, regardless of sun exposure.

Therefore, and pending clarification on when to begin the intake of these supplements, the study’s authors propose a minimum consumption of 10 micrograms per day, since its use involves no adverse effect.

Use defibrillators to prevent sudden deaths

Posted: 05 Dec 2011 02:12 AM PST

Sudden deaths often occur outside of hospitals and health centers, so having these devices could save lives and to “avoid complications associated with loss of consciousness for more than 10 minutes,” experts say. However, the shortage of them currently causes avoid only 2 percent of these deaths.

Moreover, this measure would benefit all citizens, since sudden death may surprise people of all ages without notice. The meeting organized by the Spanish Society of Family and Community Medicine (semFYC) and the Spanish Society of Cardiology (SEC), which brought together over 500 experts, has served to raise awareness of this serious problem.

There are 100 genes associated with sudden death

Advances in research have been identified over a hundred of genes associated with sudden death.“This allows genetic testing to find the mutation that can cause sudden death and prevention measures in people at high risk,” the dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Gerona, director of the Center for Cardiovascular Genetics at the University Gerona and the Cardiology Service of the Hospital Josep Trueta, Dr. Ramon Brugada.

In fact, public domimio is that 80 percent of cases are associated with coronary heart disease. When caused by this disease, “there is a blockage of the coronary arteries, the typical heart attack,” said Dr. Brugada.

During the conference organized by both companies, has acalarado that sport practice is not a risk factor, provided it is done under medical supervision in advance. This clarification was necessary because of the fact that 20 percent of these deaths occurred in young people, athletes or babies. This group died due to hereditary causes.

In Gerona has already launched a pioneering project that will implement 700 defibrillators throughout the province of Catalonia. In addition, the doctor explains that the use of these devices is very simple and not dangerous. “It can not cause any harm, quite the opposite,” he concludes.

The organic tomato ketchup is healthier

Posted: 04 Dec 2011 09:51 PM PST

Polyphenols are plant functional molecules that act as cell protectors strong and have numerous health benefits.

The study, based on biochemical and metabolomic analysis of different trademarks of ketchup on the market that has been published in “Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.”

Its authors are Rosa M. Lamuela, Anna Vallverdú-Queralt and Alexander Medina-Remon’s CIBERobn attached to the Department of Nutrition and Food Science and Nutrition Research Institute and Food Safety (INSA • UB), Mercedes Amat, Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutic Chemistry, and Jauregui and Isidre Olga Casals-Ribes, of Science and Technology Centers of the UB (CCiTUB).

Explains Vallverdu-Queralt, first author of this work, these scientists have used metabolomics to analyze these sauces and have seen for the first time, “the differences between commercial ketchups biomarkers in tomatoes from organic and traditional crops.”

“What we see, in conclusion, is that polyphenols are the main traditional markers differential between these products from organic agriculture and the traditional” he says.

Moreover, according to these results, “in the ketchup made from organically grown tomatoes more polyphenols, flavonols, flavanones and phenolic acids, antioxidants and biomolecules with a protective effect on the human organism.”

In parallel, the original ketchup traditional crops, the level of compounds derived from nitrogen – an essential element for the synthesis of proteins and other biomolecules – is greater.

Lamuela Noted Professor, Head of Research Group at the UB Natural Antioxidants and coordinator of scientific study, “in this type of ketchup have been detected much nitrogen-rich molecules, in particular, dipeptides glutamilfenilalanina and n-maloniltriptofan “.

Polyphenols are substances we consume through certain foods, including fruits, vegetables and wine.The human body synthesizes and became a major part of the blood, increasing the body’s antioxidant capacity.

The cells are benefited by these substances, which absorb the impact of free radicals will have on the body. Polyphenols, which act rapidly and directly act directly on the layers that cover the body’s cells and prevent the vitamin E found in them being damaged.

Experts say farming techniques applied in organic farming – in which the plant receives no artificial nutrients – may activate defense mechanisms of plants and increase the levels of polyphenols in fruits.

According Vallverdú-Queralt, “the fact that in traditional crops, the plants are paid soluble nitrogen could explain where it is detected much nitrogen-rich biomolecules, basic for the synthesis of amino acids and proteins.”

Do not eat the recommended daily fruit

Posted: 03 Dec 2011 07:27 AM PST

According to data published by the Spanish Association of Pediatrics, the rate of childhood obesity has increased from 5 percent in 1980 to 20 percent today. The low fruit consumption promotes obesity as well as causing other diseases in adulthood such as cardiovascular risks, too high levels of cholesterol, inflammatory processes or possible tumors in the intestine.

Most children and young people, 80 percent opt for dairy products for breakfast. In addition, they spend very little time to first meal of the day, so you do not receive the amounts of energy and nutrients, as reported by the AFAMMER.

“It is worrying that the consumption of fruit is low not only when talking about the smaller, but of the families as a whole, since 60% of them, fail to eat even one piece of fruit a day and are very Few people in your diet include three pieces of fruit a day, which is the recommended minimum consumption, “said the president of AFAMMER, Carmen Quintanilla.

Music therapy for treating advanced dementia

Posted: 03 Dec 2011 05:04 AM PST

This work, which has had access to Europa Press, set a target of using music as a bond in order to improve or maintain emotional and social ties, as well as playful element to improve the quality of life of such users a day center.

Thus, the study authors relied “positively influence” in behavioral alterations that may have people who are at an advanced stage of dementia, and increase their capacity for involvement in activities.

To this end, the project was carried out in day care centers and Rezola Elizaran of “Matia Fundazioa”, as both facilities have a similar profile of users. In total, the sample consisted of 40 subjects divided into experimental and control group.

Already during the evaluation, all subjects were analyzed before and after treatment with the following protocol: GDS Reisberg, MEC, SCIP (Severe Cognitive Impairment Profile), Depression in Dementia Scale Cornell, Hamilton Anxiety Scale, NPI, index Barthel.

In addition, sound picked up the story of the participants in order to adapt the content of the sessions, which were taught by an expert in music therapy. During these sessions, also picked up the capacity of activation and involvement through observational methods developed for this purpose.

The experimental group received music therapy program lasting eight sessions, in addition to the usual interventions, which are the same that receives the control group. Each session lasted 50 to 60 minutes.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS

Among the main results and conclusions of the study show that music therapy reduced some behavioral disturbances and apathy, since increased activation and involvement in the experimental group than the control group.

Therefore, the authors have concluded that music therapy as adjunctive therapy in advanced dementia “is an added benefit of other therapies that are performed in day care centers, helping to improve the quality of life of users, improving aspects relational and social person, positively influencing their involvement and mood, and helping to minimize behavioral disturbances.

First therapeutic vaccine for tuberculosis

Posted: 03 Dec 2011 02:00 AM PST

As he explained this Saturday at Europa Press the discoverer of vaccination, Pere-Joan Cardona, Can Ruti medical and scientific director of Archivel Farma, a vaccine has shown effectiveness against Koch bacillus growing and dormant, that the latter is not could fight so far because the immune system not identified.

The results, part of the phase II trial that began in 2010 in South Africa are positive and hopeful and, after finding no toxicity, have achieved the same response in HIV-positive and negative patients with the same dose of 25 micrograms.

At the end of next year, Cardona and his team hope to start Phase III trial will enroll 1,300 patients infected with HIV, the strong linkage of HIV with tuberculosis in the world, which is especially true in South Africa.

Half the patients will receive traditional treatment and the other half will combine existing drugs Ruti vaccine in a phase that will be resolved in 2014 and, if confirmed by the results of phase II, Ruti facilitate the arrival of the market 2015.

Until then, biotechnology Archivel Farma, who was born with the scientific project of the vaccine, you need 15 million euros to finance the final stages of research and record the pioneer drug.

The vaccine is to eliminate tuberculosis infection, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, favoring a more efficient stimulation of the immune system activates when the body detects the bacilli.

To ensure their effectiveness, the drug could be useful for people with latent infection and patients who have developed the disease.

Its main advantage is that it reduces the current treatment of nine months for patients with dormant infection, just a month, taking into account that the rate of abandonment of strict treatment for these patients is 70% in Spain, where every year recorded 10,000 new cases of patients who developed infection.

It is also estimated that one third of the world population has latent infection and that 10% of people who have not been subjected to a treatment developed a serious injury in 60 percent of cases can result in death .

Genetics detects and slows down aging

Posted: 02 Dec 2011 10:58 PM PST

As explained the experts gathered Friday in the first round of the X International Congress of the Spanish Society of Anti-Aging and Longevity (SEMAL).

Progress in this area are diverse and all aimed at getting the personalized treatment of the population, either for treatment or to prevent them, as for aging well. “Every year new polymorphisms are being created that we can somehow show what can happen in the body, is predictive medicine,” said Europa Press SEMAL president, Jose Serra.

The advantage, he added, is that with this tool you can fight against all that is favoring the disease or aging. “Genetics determines between 25 and 35 percent in the future,” so “if you know what you have predisposition can change the style of life from the moment you know”.

In short, says the expert in genomic medicine, Dr. Jose Ignacio Lao, “it is not everything to promote it for all”, meaning that not all diets, not all drugs are valid for everyone. Therefore, the trend should be “personalized medicine, taking into account the genetic makeup of each.”

In his opinion, “knowing the genetics of each individual will help to avoid adverse effects and complications, and ensure the functioning of the treatments. Rather than treating disease is to treat patients.” This is for Lao’s “great revolution” of genomic medicine, told Europa Press.

Currently, “the pillars of genomic medicine anti-aging” are: nutrigenomics, which is to show how it responds to the diet in terms of genetic endowment, the pharmacogenomics, which shows how they respond to medication, the kinesiogénica, which is how it responds to physical exercised depending on the individual’s genetic and, finally, is studying how stress affect genetics.

“8 YEARS LESS”

So far, as explained Serres, more than 10,000 Spanish have undergone anti-aging treatments in the last decade, and, taking into account the proportion of patients who are trying to mediate between four and five years have managed to “lose” their age four to five years.

He also added that these treatments can reduce to about eight years his biological age over chronological age. Also explained that most of the Spanish who choose to undergo these treatments are between 40 and 50 years and more than 60 percent of people receiving these sessions are women.

On how the population is Spanish, he lamented that in recent years is declining cultural factors that helped to slow aging. “The Spanish have always been good because they have always exercised, have cared for their diet with healthy Mediterranean diet, but now it is investing as evidenced by the problems of childhood obesity,” he said.

On when to start taking care of, remember that eating anti-aging medicine in the womb, because “as a woman as care during pregnancy then the baby will have a predisposition to a disease.”

In terms of treatments that help improve the physical, Serre has admitted that “the cult of the body has proven increasingly booming” and, against all odds, “despite the crisis.” However, he adds, in aesthetic medicine have been slowed by funding major treatments.

At the end of the meeting, hopes to take a SEMAL conclusions, or recommendations that help aging well. Thus, it has advanced Serre fundamental eat healthy, exercise indicated, stress management, etc.., Actions that we know that “helps gain health and quality of life.”

“We do not know which lengthens life, but we do know that the shorter, therefore care must be taken to eliminate these as far as possible,” he concluded.

The “X Congress” from SEMAL, which runs until Sunday, “combines” all it has to do with aging, “both the inner and outer body.” It also will demonstrate the latest developments, an area in which Spain has been found at the top.

Blood test for celiac

Posted: 02 Dec 2011 07:54 PM PST

In the presentation of the publication, which have been present medical, Begoña Sacristan, and the president of the Association of Celiac La Rioja (steel company), Maria Angeles Espila, Nieto said “the aim of the publication is to provide support and information to health professionals who diagnose and treat those affected, especially primary care, pediatrics and other related medical specialties. “

The publication professionals have collaborated Rioja Health Service (SERIS), Directorate General of Public Health and Celiac Association of La Rioja (steel company).

Health and Human Services has published 500 copies on paper and is also available in digital format on the website of La Rioja Health Service (www.riojasalud.es) and as a supporting document in the library computer system of care.

This paper attempts to give professionals a simple tool and agreed to its implementation in daily work.Guidance is easily accessible thanks to the introduction of new technologies, through the electronic medical record (EMR) Health System of La Rioja.

Eight sections

The guide is divided into eight sections. Clinical suspicion for early diagnosis of the disease, describe symptoms, signs and diseases or health conditions that lead to the suspicion of the disease and presents the most appropriate test to start the diagnosis.

Moreover, the clinical presentation of the disease, which describes, by line of life (childhood, adolescence and adulthood), the most characteristic clinical picture and specific. These clinical presentations are shown in a scheme that streamlines display.

The guide describes the risk groups most likely to present and that in clinical practice to consider.

Also the sequence of early diagnosis in primary care, including a diagnostic algorithm with the sequence and decision making in primary care. This tool aims to facilitate the work and commitment of health professionals in the clinical diagnosis of suspected people, from medical history and physical examination.

Sequence of Specialized Care diagnostic performance .

Initiated in primary care diagnosis or suspicion from the symptoms, possible cases arising Digestive service for intestinal biopsy, diagnosis is required to start a diet without gluten.

Looking to the treatment, there is a unique and this is a table of food guidance based on their gluten content, and other treatment processes resulting deficiency of malabsorption of nutrients.

Also collects the key points and recommendations, and describes the salient features of celiac disease, as well as Web pages of interest.

What is celiac disease

Celiac disease is an intolerance to the protein gluten, found in many common foods in our diet such as cereals (wheat, rye, triticale, barley), additives, colorings, preservatives and some medications, in addition to cross-contamination occur in the storage and handling of food.

The ingestion of this protein occurs in people who have this intolerance, an alteration of the intestinal mucosa which makes the absorption of food. The only treatment is total removal of the patient in the diet foods that contain gluten. Its prevalence is high and may affect 1% of the population.

This alteration makes the people around us are developing their daily activities without the level of quality of life they deserve: children from an early age have altered the threshold of development and growth and adults must face their daily activities with a status of health and welfare than the rest of the population.

The nonspecific symptomatology, sometimes nonexistent, with which celiac disease presents a significant underdiagnosis favors from the Health System. This feature forces to seek and to differentiate it from other processes with which it shares signs and symptoms, and not forgetting those with a history in their families.

Early diagnosis and be established as soon as possible gluten-free diet are the keys to the affected people can live in full health. It is therefore important that celiac patients are well informed about what products contain it or not, and fed with full security guarantees for their health, just like the rest of consumers.

Social and interpersonal relationships of celiac patients are conditioned by the awareness and awareness of society with this disease. The food industry, canteens, hotels, etc are sectors that can facilitate their day to day.

From the health system is intended to give a boost to early diagnosis of this disease, starting his suspicions in primary care consultations. Once the diagnosis and confirmation of the disease, there to provide the best information, both the person affected and their family and / or social, to help them cope with illness, and understand it as a way of life need not differ from the rest of the population.

Robotic surgery scarless thyroid

Posted: 02 Dec 2011 04:50 PM PST

This is the first time a Spanish hospital operates thyroid disease using this technique robotics. The main benefit of the new procedure is the aesthetic, as it manages to avoid cervical scar typical of conventional thyroid surgery. The surgical team Thyroid Pathology Area is comprised of doctors Fernando Martínez-Regueira (General Surgery), Juan Mayor and Peter Baptista (both ENT specialists).

The transaxillary robotics is indicated primarily for the removal of nodular goiter (enlarged thyroid gland caused by the presence of nodules on the inside) of thyroid follicular cell carcinomas no larger than 2 cm without extracapsular extension and adenomas of parathyroid glands (hyperparathyroidism).

This is a procedure “especially advantageous” thin constitution in patients presenting nodular thyroid disease, says the University Hospital of Navarra in a statement.

TECHNICAL transaxillary

Dr. Juan Mayor says robotic surgery of the thyroid is, firstly, “a technological breakthrough, because without the precision of the robot would be too difficult to embark on this technique with a single incision in the armpit and the other, is a great aesthetic benefit to be hidden scar. “

Despite major advances in recent years toward minimally invasive thyroid surgery, the specialist stated that, “although in general the cosmetic result than conventional surgery in the neck is left acceptably well, sometimes hypertrophic scar can be generated or cicatricial adhesion on the underlying muscular plane (below left), with the aesthetic deterioration behind it. “

The robotic technique replaces a cervical incision transaxillary approach (through the armpit), by about 6 cm incision hidden in the folds of the axilla. The CUN notes that “in order to perform this procedure requires that the team of surgeons with extensive experience in surgery of the thyroid gland.”

In this sense, the specialists of Thyroid Pathology Area are home to over 2,000 cases performed so far, as well as specific training in robotic surgery with the da Vinci system, supplemented, in the case of doctors Mayor and Baptista, by practice transoral robotic surgery.

ACCURACY AND DURATION

The surgical dissection from the axilla is performed in the subcutaneous plane to reach the cervical and thyroid. Thanks to the excellent visualization that seeks robotic equipment and precision in the use of instruments such as scalpel “harmonic” which divides and seals the vascular structures and is especially designed for this surgery, you can perform the removal of the gland thyroid.

For these cases, robotic surgery is about one hour longer than conventional thyroid surgery because, from the armpit to the tour thyroid surgery is greater.

However, Dr. Mayor noted that the transaxillary procedure “time surgical excision (removal) of the gland, in cases who underwent a hemithyroidectomy (removal of half of the gland), is similar to that in the classical technique, with identical anatomical preservation of the structures surrounding the gland. “

In summary, for intervention of this condition, the Da Vinci robot “provides a good view and excellent handling of instruments without introducing gas as required in laparoscopic techniques,” said Dr. Mayor.

Fighting AIDS in and outside the EU

The full European Parliament meeting in Brussels has ruled in favor of a European action plan to ensure equitable access to prevention, testing, treatment and care of those affected.

In this line, the text adopted by 454 votes in favor, 86 against and 44 abstentions, calls for “equal and affordable access to contraception, including emergency contraception, safe legal abortion, including post-abortion care.” MEPs also called on European governments to develop their own plans.

Moreover, the President of the Parliament, Jerzy Buzek, highlighted the “good news” that the number of new infections and deaths from this disease are declining, but warned that “the bad news is that the economic crisis may slow positive trend “, and noted with particular concern the situation in central Asia and eastern Europe.

For their part, adopted a statement Twenty of support to those with the disease and those accompanying them on the disease and have shown their concern over the increase of cases in countries of Central Asia and Eastern Europe, while have pledged to “intensify efforts” to combat AIDS in these regions.

Member States have expressed their determination to play a “decisive role” to strengthen its leadership in the response to HIV and AIDS virus and better combining EU’s institutional response to changes in the context of the disease to European and global level .

Effects of climate change on health

Thus, Health offers citizens a wide information about the observatory and the relationship between climate change and health indicators to assess it.

It also includes a decalogue of healthy habits and will include aspects such as the effects related with temperature, extreme weather and climate-induced natural hazards, air quality and photochemical pollution, disease transmission through water and food or the spread of infectious diseases transmitted by vectors such as mosquitoes and ticks.

Another aim is to go in detail all the actions developed within the Health Observatory and climate change, and provide citizens access to information and establish channels of communication. Also expected to serve to build networks of experts and interdisciplinary areas of work related health and climate change.

Therefore, the site will support the functions assigned to the Observatory as training, information dissemination, information exchange, knowledge, tools and methods, and the development of a program of communication and social participation.

Also provide news and information, documents, reports and useful links, and publish the results of the work of the groups formed at the meeting of experts on health and climate change organized by the Centre in the month of September in the Lazaretto Mahon (Menorca).
