Xinhua| SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 25 (Xinhua) -- Children whose diet includes fish at least once a week are found to have better sleep and higher IQ scores, on average, than their peers who seldom or never eat fish, according to a new study by U.S. researchers. Researchers from the U.S. University of Pennsylvania conducted the study on 541 children aged between nine and 11 years old to examine the relationship between omega-3s, the fatty acids in many types of fish, and improved intelligence and better sleep. The children, consisting of 54 percent boys and 46 percent girls, were surveyed about how often they consumed fish in the past month, while their parents were asked about the ...

The brain is the organ of learning, loving, and behaving for every member of a family, school, church or business. When the brains in a family or organization work right, the family or organization tends to be positive and effective. When the brain of one or more family or organization members is troubled, the family or organization experiences increased stress and strain. Your brain is the most complex, mind-blowing organ in the universe. It is only about 3 pounds, or about 2 percent of your body’s weight. Yet, it uses 20 to 30% of the calories you consume, 20% of the oxygen you breathe and 25% of the blood flow in your body. Unbelievably, given that it is the bedrock of your ...

Life expectancy in the United States fell for the second year in a row in 2016 — and it’s clear the epidemic of drug overdoses is at least in part to blame, government researchers said Thursday. Overall life expectancy for a baby born in 2016 fell to 78.6 years, a small decline of 0.1 percent, the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) team found. At the same time, mortality from drug overdoses rose by 21 percent. U.S. life expectancy and drug overdose deaths chart “This was the first time life expectancy in the U.S. has declined two years in a row since declines in 1962 and 1963,” the NCHS, part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in a ...

MONDAY, Dec. 11, 2017 (HealthDay News) -- The chance of dying from a common heart rhythm disorder is higher for people treated at rural rather than urban hospitals, a new study finds. The researchers analyzed data from hospitalizations for the heart ailment known as atrial fibrillation -- or a-fib -- in the United States between 2012 and 2014. A-fib can lead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure and other complications. If untreated, a-fib doubles the risk for heart-related death and is associated with a five-fold increased risk for stroke, according to the American Heart Association. The study found that people with a-fib who'd been admitted to rural hospitals were 17 percent more ...

Is it time to retire cholesterol tests?

The next time you go in for a medical checkup, your doctor will probably make a mistake that could endanger your life, contends cardiologist Allan Sniderman of McGill University in Montreal, Canada. Most physicians order what he considers the wrong test to gauge heart disease risk: a standard cholesterol readout, which may indicate levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or non-high density lipoprotein (non-HDL) cholesterol. What they should request instead, Sniderman argues, is an inexpensive assay for a blood protein known as apolipoprotein B (apoB). ApoB indicates the number of cholesterol-laden particles circulating in the blood—a truer indicator of the threat to our arteries ...

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Gummy vitamins for adults can do more harm than good because they might contain too much Vitamin A, causing unhealthy side effects, and too many preservatives and sugar to mask the taste, a study by ConsumerLab.com in the United States found. Out of 50 multivitamins tested in the United States and Canada, 80 percent of the gummies failed to make the status of dietary supplements, Britain’s Daily Mail reported. As many gummies are not tested in the way official medications are, many do not have the ingredients listed on the packaging, the paper reported. The research found a dozen of the multivitamins containing a range of nutrients from 24 percent less ...

Guardian... A radical low-calorie diet can reverse type 2 diabetes, even six years into the disease, a new study has found. The number of cases of type 2 diabetes is soaring, related to the obesity epidemic. Fat accumulated in the abdomen prevents the proper function of the pancreas. It can lead to serious and life-threatening complications, including blindness and foot amputations, heart and kidney disease. A new study from Newcastle and Glasgow Universities shows that the disease can be reversed by losing weight, so that sufferers no longer have to take medication and are free of the symptoms and risks. Nine out of 10 people in the trial who lost 15kg (two-and-a-half stone) or more put ...

The principle factor to keep in mind is that now you choose quality food products and natural ingredients. There are many websites that talk about Dr. Budwig and her food recommendations, however not all of them are accurate. Because Dr. Budwig herself was a vegetarian, her recipes focus on that type of diet. This has led some to conclude that she allowed no fish or poultry in her protocol.

Taipei Times... The presence of extra-chromosomal telomeric repeat (ECTR) DNA could suppress alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) in cancer cells, Academia Sinica member Chen Liuh-Yow (陳律佑) told a news conference on Tuesday last week. Cancer cells can be divided into two major groups: those with telomerase and the ALT cancer cells without telomerase, Chen said. ALT cancer cells comprise 10 to 15 percent of all tumor tissue and are mostly seen in brain tumors in children, as well as soft tissue tumors and bone cancer, Chen said. ALT cancer cells carry a type of ECTR DNA, which under normal circumstances is tasked with detecting cell-free DNA in activated cells, ...

A study carried out by researchers at the Aarhus University has revealed that chemotherapy affects brain network and impairs cognitive function. As part of the study, a team of health experts enrolled a total of 64 men who underwent testicular cancer surgery. The researchers noted that 22 of these men had chemotherapy following their operation, while 42 patients had surgery alone. The participants were then subjected to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at the start of the study and after six months. The volunteers also underwent a series of neuro-psychological tests to assess their memory and concentration. The results showed that patients in the chemotherapy groups fared worse than those ...
Socialism, Capitalism and Health Care

Introduction The US political and economic elites have always bragged that capitalism is far superior to socialism in terms of providing people’s personal welfare. They claim that citizens live longer, healthier and happier lives under capitalism. The debate between the supporters of the US Affordable Care Act or ‘Obamacare’ and its most vehement opponents under President Trump is not part of any larger system debate since both ‘sides’ base their vision and plans for medical care on private, for-profit corporate insurance schemes. This source of funding would ‘harness market forces’ to deliver quality medical care…in a marketplace of ‘free ...

WEDNESDAY, Nov. 29, 2017 (HealthDay News) -- A patch that might one day help repair heart attack damage has been developed by researchers. The patch, which consists of fully functioning artificial human heart muscle, is large enough to cover damage typically caused by a heart attack, according to biomedical engineers at Duke University. The Duke team described the development, which was tested in rodents, as a significant advance in efforts to repair dead heart muscle. "Right now, virtually all existing therapies are aimed at reducing the symptoms from the damage that's already been done to the heart, but no approaches have been able to replace the muscle that's ...

$2,830 Appendectomy in Mexico

My son had an attack of appendicitis late Saturday night. I knew that the Obamacare inflated prices for surgery in the U.S. would be ridiculous and that the service would likely be impersonal, involve long waits, and be nerve-wracking. I have friends in the medical field so I inquired just for grins. The price for the latest routine appendectomy in my area was, my jaw dropped, $43,000. I read on-line that the average cost for an appendectomy in the U.S. is $33,000. I am not near some of the great direct-pay medical facilities in the U.S. like the Surgery Center of Oklahoma, but I am near Mexico. I chose that option since I have often utilized foreign medical and dental facilities in the ...
