ScienceAlert... A new type of implantable drug pump has been developed by researchers in Sweden, and it’s so accurate, it only needs 1 percent of the medication usually needed to treat spinal cord injuries, nerve damage and neurological disorders. The implant, which is shaped like a tiny tube and measures just a few centimetres long, can deliver a drug dosage molecule-by-molecule, and by closely monitoring its activity, doctors can cut down on side effects, and cost of treatment. "In theory, we could tell you exactly how many molecules our device is delivering," Amanda Jonsson, one of the team and bio-electronical engineer from Sweden's Linköping University, told ...

Low Serotonin, Depression Link a Myth?
Post Date: 2015-05-12 02:32:20 by Tatarewicz

The concept that depression is a result of low brain serotonin levels and, therefore, that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are an effective treatment for the disorder is a myth, says a UK psychiatrist. Moreover, David Healy, MD, professor of psychiatry, Hergest Unit, Bangor, Wales, United Kingdom, believes that SSRIs were a treatment looking for a condition and that doctors and patients were co-opted into the myth by clever marketing, resulting in better treatments being sidelined. "This history raises a question about the weight doctors and others put on biological and epidemiological plausibility. Does a plausible (but mythical) account of biology and treatment let ...

Medscape... Hello and welcome. I am Dr George Lundberg, and this is At Large at Medscape. How is your magnesium level? I bet you don't know. You may not think much about it. How about your various patients' magnesium levels? If you think calcium metabolism in health and disease is complicated, and I do, you ain't seen nothing yet. Try magnesium. With calcium, serum levels give you a pretty good idea as to whether the body has enough. With magnesium, not so much. Approximately 99% of total body magnesium is located in bone, muscles, and soft tissues; 1% is extracellular.[1] Thus, plasma or serum magnesium levels are only a rough approximation of amounts of magnesium. ...

However, whenever people recreate in the outdoors, it is simply inevitable that some poor soul will fail to recognize the dark green, tri-foil, leaf of the Poison Ivy plant or that obscure patch of Poison Oak or that strategically placed patch of Poison Sumac and thus, they will suffer the resultant rash that is caused by contact with the oil that these plants exude to protect themselves from herbivores. However, fortunately ...

Doctors cover up vaccine damage after killing infant with 8 simultaneous vaccinations Monday, May 11, 2015 by: L.J. Devon, Staff Writer (NaturalNews) It must have been shame that drove doctors at a California hospital to hide the body of an infant who had suddenly died after receiving eight simultaneous vaccinations. The parents were never allowed to see the body of their son before he was cremated. Even after a year and four months had gone by, the official autopsy had not been revealed. Their son, Matthew, had been given DTaP, IPV, Hib, PCV, Hep B and Hep A in three shots, one in the right arm and two in the left leg, just a day before his sudden death. According to mother Crystal ...

Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant: A Ticking Time Bomb? by Stephen Lendman All nuclear power plants are inherently unsafe - aging, poorly maintained ones most of all. Entergy Corporation's Indian Point nuclear plant is located 38 miles north of New York City. It was commissioned in 1974. It experienced numerous incidents warranting concern - the latest on May 9. A transformer exploded. Fire and black smoke were visible. The plant's Unit 3 was shut down after the incident. Officials claimed no threat to public safety. Whether true or not, who knows. When incidents like this happen, the public is systematically lied to. Nuclear experts cite Indian Point's notorious history of ...

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A distinct set of bone metabolism biomarkers appears to be associated with more severe periodontal disease, new research suggests. Researchers found older men with more severe periodontitis had significantly higher levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and lower vitamin D levels. Meanwhile, improvement was linked with lower levels of carboxy-terminal collagen crosslinks (CTX), alpha-CTX and beta-CTX at baseline after adjusting for age, site and body mass index, the team reports in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, online April 9. "Over recent years, interest has increasingly focused on systemic conditions associated with the ...
The vast majority of coffee byproducts make their way to the landfill -- their apparent benefits wasted.

GRANADA, Spain, May 7 (UPI) -- During both the coffee production process and the brewing process, a sizeable amount of waste is generated. And a new study suggests that some of these coffee byproducts are filled with antioxidants. Researchers from the University of Granada found that antioxidant levels in spent coffee grounds and coffee silver skin are especially high. The silver skin is one of the protective layers in between the outer coffee berry and the beans inside; it is typically removed prior to roasting. Some consumers use spent coffee grains as a do-it-yourself exfoliant. Others deposit coffee grounds into their compost pile. But the vast majority of coffee byproducts make ...

Hispanic populations are less likely to die from the 10 leading cause of death for whites, but had higher death rates from diabetes, and chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. These two diseases account for the top five and six causes of death for ...
Study: Treating gum disease minimizes prostate symptoms

CLEVELAND, May 5 (UPI) -- There's a fair amount of physical and biological distance between the gums and the prostate gland, but research suggests the two are linked. Previous studies have suggested a link between gum disease and prostatitis, inflammation of the small gland responsible for producing semen. Now, new research shows treating gum disease improves prostatitis symptoms. "This study shows that if we treat the gum disease, it can improve the symptoms of prostatitis and the quality of life for those who have the disease," Nabil Bissada, lead author of a new study on the subject and chair of Case Western Reserve's periodontics department, said in a press ...

Medscape.. Unintentional injuries account for the vast majority (85%) of all injury-related deaths among older Americans, according to a new data brief from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). During 2012-2013, 90,640 adults aged 65 years or older died from unintentional injuries and 55% of these injury deaths were due to falls. From 2000-2013, the age-adjusted fall injury death rate among the elderly nearly doubled, from 29.6 to 56.7 per 100,000, report NCHS investigators Ellen Kramarow, PhD, and colleagues. "Fatal falls among the older population may be increasing for many reasons. Some research suggests that at ...

Sputnik... More than 30,000 doctors and health professionals in Argentina have asked the federal government there to ban Monsanto products after recent studies found that they likely contain carcinogens. The demand follows last month’s report by the World Health Organization, which found that the herbicide glyphosate – the active chemical ingredient in weed killer Roundup – is "probably carcinogenic." Monsanto's Roundup weedkiller contains the active chemical glyphosate, which the World Health organization has labeled a probable carcinogen. © Flickr/ London Permaculture US May Start Testing Food for ‘Probably Carcinogenic’ Glyphosate According ...

Your E.R. wait time is still high, thanks to Obamacare Posted by: Jon Dougherty May 5, 2015 •Republicans need to stop offering to “fix Obamacare” and instead focus on dismantling Obamacare As conservatives of the Affordable Care Act are well aware, the law was supposed to be all things to health care, all the time. The reality, however, has been that Obamacare has been a resounding failure as public policy, evidenced most recently by the crumbling failure of the state exchanges and enrollment figures that fall well below that of its original goal of 100 percent (the lie that everyone will be covered now). Another failed goal of the law was its promise to ...

Yahoo... Paris (AFP) - The second person in France to receive a much-hyped new-generation artificial heart has died eight months after receiving the transplant, biomedical firm Carmat said Tuesday. The 69-year-old man, who wished to remain anonymous, was terminally ill when he received the experimental heart that was seen as a long-term solution for patients with end-stage heart failure. Carmat, which designed what it calls the world's most-advanced artificial heart, said the patient was admitted to hospital on Friday with "circulatory collapse". A medical team noted the heart was not functioning correctly and transplanted a new device, however the patient died on Saturday ...
