Although dialysis can be used to manage kidney disease, researchers said a method of predicting risk for its development could help treat the condition earlier or even prevent it. Photo by Tyler Olson/Shutterstock CHICAGO, Nov. 6 (UPI) -- Testing blood for soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor, or suPAR, can predict a patient's risk of developing chronic kidney disease, or CKD, as early as five years before damage from the condition is seen, according to a new study. Researchers compare finding the significance of suPAR to discovering the role that testing cholesterol levels now plays in diagnosing cardiovascular disease. CKD affects more than 15 percent of people in ...

Patients who report a penicillin allergy but don't actually have one are often treated with more toxic, more dangerous, and more expensive drugs when they don't need to be. SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 5 (UPI) -- The majority of people who think they're allergic to penicillin, based on a doctor's opinion after an adverse reaction, are not actually allergic, according to a new study. Most people never take penicillin again, and are treated with more dangerous antibiotics and exposed to unnecessary risk as doctors look to other treatment options, researchers in the study said while presenting it at the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology's annual meeting. The ...

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 5 (UPI) -- Changes in sex life are among the biggest complaints of heart patients, however many of those changes may be due to incorrect ideas about the dangers sex may pose to people with cardiac conditions. To help patients be clear on what activity is safe for cardiac patients, researchers at the University of Rio Grande do Sul and Federal University of Rio de Janeiro devised an acronym -- KiTOMI -- coupled with a graph to match sexual activities to their safety based on levels of heart condition. Previous studies have shown sex after a heart attack is safe, however misperceptions remain among patients and their partners about what sex acts could cause complications ...

Yahoo... Scientists have used a new gene-editing technique to manipulate cells to fight cancer with a one-year-old girl in Britain the first in the world to be treated London (AFP) - A one-year-old girl in Britain has become the first in the world to be treated with "designer" immune cells genetically engineered to reverse her cancer, doctors said. Layla Richards was suffering from leukaemia, but was cured after scientists used a new gene-editing technique to manipulate cells to fight the disease at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) in central London. "As this was the first time that the treatment had been used, we didn't know if or when it would work and so we were ...

Medscape... NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Providing more care than necessary may work to lower a doctor's risk of being accused of malpractice, suggests a new U.S. study. Although the results can't prove extra expenditures are due to defensive medicine, the researchers found that doctors in Florida who provided the most costly care between 2000 and 2009 were also least likely to be sued between 2001 and 2010. "By no means would I consider it to be conclusive, but it does signal to us that defensive medicine could work in lowering malpractice risk, but more research is needed to know if that's true or not," lead author Dr. Anupam Jena, of Massachusetts General Hospital ...

new scientific review identifies 25 of the top foods and herbs which kill the cancer stem cells at the root cause of cancer malignancy. There are thousands of natural compounds that have been studied with demonstrable anti-cancer activity (check out over 600 on our cancer research database), but only a small subset of these have been proven to target and kill the cancer stem cells which lie at the root of cancer malignancy. Turmeric, for instance, we have featured a number of times for this "smart kill" property of targeting just the heart of cancerous tumors. More recently, ginger has been found in pre-clinical research to contain a compound up to 10,000 times more effective ...

LONDON, Oct. 30 (Xinhua) -- Researchers found that women who had given birth might have a reduced risk of death from several common conditions than those who had not, according to a study released Friday by the Imperial College London (ICL). The study, led by ICL researchers, was published in the journal BMC Medicine. It investigates the association between the so-called reproductive factors - such as having children and breastfeeding - and a woman's risk of death. Researchers analyzed data from 322,972 women across 10 countries, including the UK, France, Germany and Sweden, with an average age of 50. Each woman was followed for an average of 12.9 years. During this period, there ...
Death Rates Rising for Middle-Aged White Americans, Study Finds

NYT... Something startling is happening to middle-aged white Americans. Unlike every other age group, unlike every other racial and ethnic group, unlike their counterparts in other rich countries, death rates in this group have been rising, not falling. That finding was reported Monday by two Princeton economists, Angus Deaton, who last month won the 2015 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Science, and Anne Case. Analyzing health and mortality data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and from other sources, they concluded that rising annual death rates among this group are being driven not by the big killers like heart disease and diabetes but by an epidemic of suicides and ...

Previous studies have linked daily consumption soft drinks to increased risk for heart disease, diabetes, fatty liver disease and stroke. STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Nov. 3 (UPI) -- The latest in a long line of studies showing the potential for sweetened beverages such as soda to have a significantly poor effect on health suggests daily consumption of soft drinks increases the risk of developing heart failure. A large study of Swedish men found drinking two or more sweetened beverages per day increases the risk for heart failure, a chronic condition characterized by the heart's inability to properly pump blood. Although researchers said the study likely can be applied to men in the United ...

A study from the 1990s has come to light, proving that compared to unvaccinated children, vaccinated children were more likely to suffer from asthma, eczema, ear infections, hyperactivity and many other chronic conditions. Furthermore, the study identified that there was a ten-fold increase in the incidence of tonsillitis in the children who were vaccinated, and a total lack tonsillectomy operations among the children who were unvaccinated. In 1992, the Immunization Awareness Society (IAS) conducted a survey to examine the health of New Zealand’s children. Unsurprisingly, the results of their study indicated that unvaccinated children were far healthier than vaccinated children. ...

ScienceAlert... Here’s what the end of the day looks like for most people: directly before curling up in bed to catch some shut-eye, you brush your teeth in front of your bathroom mirror, and given that it’s night-time, you’re probably basking in the bright, artificial ambience of your bathroom’s electric lights. According to science, we shouldn’t be doing this. By exposing yourself to bright artificial lighting just before you go to bed, you’re effectively telling your body it’s time to wake up rather than time to relax. “Sleep is the single most important behaviour that we do. Across our lifespans 36 percent of our life will be spent ...

Are "Natural" Sugars Any Better Than Refined White Sugar? Jake Carney, Founder The Alternative Daily Although the harmful health effects of sugar are now indisputable, we are still eating an incredible amount of it. In fact, the average American consumes three pounds of the sweet white poison per week! And it’s easy to understand why. As we’ve written about before, sugar is addictive, with some brain scans suggesting that it’s just as addictive as drugs like cocaine. In light of this knowledge, many people are attempting to choose a “healthier” sugar, opting for the more natural sugar options at the grocery stores. You’ve probably seen many of ...

Infomercial... Honey, in particular, has three critical healing effects... First, honey supports your immune system and fights off harmful bacteria. As you know, your body is under constant assault by numerous viruses and bacteria that threaten to tire you out, make you sick, and even kill you. Fighting off this threat is key to staying healthy. One of the vital components in honey is an enzyme called glucose oxidase. This enzyme, when exposed to oxygen, produces hydrogen peroxide -- a strong acid that dissolves the cell walls of bacteria. (Most human cells have thicker cell walls and can resist the low amounts of acid honey produces.) This makes honey a powerful tool for fighting ...
Heat-seeker bio-grenades destroy cancer cells, leaving healthy tissues unharmed

PressYV... In military, missiles equipped with infrared homing are the ones that dash towards targets giving off infrared radiation as the emissions of a jet engine. They are simply called heat-seeker missiles. In the realm of biology and medicine, cancer cells have been observed to grow and multiply much faster than the healthy ones. The fast multiplication demands more food, and receiving more food requires the cancer cells to build up their own blood vessels. The higher metabolism of cancer cells, then, means that cancerous cells are hotter than the surrounding tissue. Now, with the heat-seeking missile technology in mind, could one think of a nanotechnology capable of targeting hot ...

Medscape... EXETER, UK — Patients with supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) treated with a modified Valsalva maneuver are nearly four times more likely to return to normal sinus rhythm than individuals treated with the standard semirecumbent Valsalva maneuver, new research shows[1]. In 214 patients with SVT presenting the emergency department, the modified maneuver resulted in a return to normal sinus rhythm in 93 individuals. Comparatively, just 37 of 214 individuals with SVT treated with the standard Valsalva maneuver had a return to normal rhythm. The difference in the return to normal sinus rhythm—43% vs 17%—was statistically significant (adjusted odds ratio 3.7; P<0.0 ...
Telomere Shortening a Cause of Alzheimer's Disease?

Medscape...A new study provides evidence for the first time of a causal relationship between telomere length (TL) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), say investigators from Sweden. "This is the first study addressing the causal effect of TL on AD," principal investigator Sara Hägg, PhD, docent of molecular epidemiology, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, told Medscape Medical News. Telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences at the ends of chromosomes that progressively shorten with age. Observational studies suggest that shorter telomeres are associated with shorter life expectancy and greater risk for age-related diseases, including AD. However, these studies could have residual ...

BEND, Ore., Oct. 30 (UPI) -- A teen in Oregon has been diagnosed with the bubonic plague, the Oregon Health Authority said Tuesday. "The girl is believed to have acquired the disease from a flea bite during a hunting trip near Heppner in Morrow County that started on Oct. 16," OHA spokesman Jonathan Modie said in a news release. The teen became ill a few day later, was hospitalized, and is recovering in the intensive care unit, he said. No other cases have been reported. The bubonic plague is an infectious disease humans can acquire if bitten by the fleas of infected animals like squirrels, chipmunks or wild rodents. It is treatable with antibiotics if caught early.
