Did you know that exercise is one of the safest, most effective ways to prevent and treat chronic diseases such as heart disease? This common-sense advice was again confirmed in a meta-review conducted by researchers at Harvard University and Stanford University,1 which compared the effectiveness of exercise versus drug interventions on mortality outcomes for four common conditions: Diabetes Coronary heart disease Heart failure Stroke After reviewing 305 randomized controlled trials, which included nearly 339,300 people, they found “no statistically detectable differences” between physical activity and medications for prediabetes and heart disease. Exercise was also found to ...

BEIJING, Oct. 17 (Xinhuanet) –People with extra abdominal fat are three times more likely than lean individuals to develop memory loss and dementia later in life, according to a new study published in the current edition of the journal Cell Reports. Scientists found that in people with a large amount of belly fat, the liver needs to use more PPARalpha, a certain protein, to work overtime to burn belly fat, while the brain uses PPARalpha process memory as well. The process of burning fat essentially depletes the brain of PPAR alpha, thus hindering memory and learning, said researchers at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. Researchers raised mice that were deficient in ...

How Agricultural Chemicals and Hospital Stays Contribute to Alzheimer’s October 17, 2013 | 154,108 views By Dr. Mercola It is projected that Alzheimer's will affect one in four Americans in the next two decades, rivaling the current prevalence of obesity and diabetes. At present, the disease afflicts about 5.4 million Americans. One of the potential reasons for the skyrocketing increase in Alzheimer’s may be related to rising glyphosate residues in our food supply. Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Monsanto’s herbicide Roundup, used in ever-increasing amounts on genetically engineered (GE) crops. Glyphosate is a potent mineral chelator, binding up minerals ...

People with severe psoriasis are at nearly twice the risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) as those without, according to a study involving more than 800,000 people published October 15 in BMJ. The study also shows an elevated risk for CKD among patients with moderate levels of the autoimmune disease. The results suggest a need for increased vigilance for CKD among clinicians treating psoriasis patients, Andy Robertson, PhD, chief science and medical officer for the National Psoriasis Foundation, told Medscape Medical News. Dr. Robertson was not involved with the current study. "A fifth to a quarter of all people with psoriasis, probably a million and half people, should ...
Gastric banding may reverse diabetes

ScienceAlert: Gastric banding is a surgical procedure that helps morbidly obese patients lower their food intake and improve their diets. Clinical researchers from Sydney’s Garvan Institute of Medical Research and St. Vincent’s Hospital have shown that a form of weight loss surgery, known as gastric banding, brings about reversal of diabetes in some patients, and dramatic improvement of glucose tolerance in others, within 12 weeks. Type 2 diabetes is a complex metabolic disorder that develops over time, with the body becoming progressively less able to control blood sugar levels. High blood sugars cause damage to tissues and organs, and can lead to very serious complications ...
Biomedical Engineers 'Arm' Surgeons For Highly Precise Knee Resurfacing With Robot

ScienceDaily: January 1, 2009 — Biomedical engineers developed a robotic arm to very precisely resurface the knee before replacing it. In order to do this, a 3-D image of the knee is generated, providing a live-action view of the knee during surgery. A stereo camera system constantly updates surgeons on the location of the diseased portion of the knee--this keeps the healthy parts untouched. Visual alarms and artificial resistance tell the surgeons when they are too close to healthy parts. After the resurfacing is done, the implant is placed. More than 15 million Americans have osteoarthritis in their knees, and about 600,000 of them could be helped by a partial knee replacement. A ...

Here are a couple facts we know about the flu shot so far this year: It will contain sterilized strains from the H1N1 viruses, the H3N2 viruses, and the influenza B viruses. They are included because they are the most common ones circulating through the global population today.1 Keep in mind there are many other different flu strains not covered by this shot — so there's no guarantee you won't get sick. Both H1N1 and H3N2 have been known to be particularly virulent strains. H1N1 was the cause of the infamous 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic that killed about 100 million people, and it was also responsible for a 2009 flu pandemic (the first pandemic since the 1968 Hong Kong flu). ...

ScienceDaily: Oct. 15, 2013 — Anyone who has suffered through sleepless nights due to uncontrollable itching knows that not all itching is the same. New research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis explains why. Share This: ? Working in mice, the scientists have shown that chronic itching, which can occur in many medical conditions, from eczema and psoriasis to kidney failure and liver disease, is different from the fleeting urge to scratch a mosquito bite. That's because chronic itching appears to incorporate more than just the nerve cells, or neurons, that normally transmit itch signals. The researchers found that in chronic itching, neurons that send itch ...

AFP - Swiss radiation experts have confirmed they found traces of polonium on clothing used by Yasser Arafat which "support the possibility" the veteran Palestinian leader was poisoned. In a report published by The Lancet at the weekend, the team provide scientific details to media statements made in 2012 that they had found polonium on Arafat's belongings. Arafat died in France on November 11 2004 at the age of 75, but doctors were unable to specify the cause of death. No autopsy was carried out at the time, in line with his widow's request. His remains were exhumed in November 2012 and samples taken, partly to investigate whether he had been poisoned -- a suspicion ...

Democrat Voters Confused: “I Didn’t Realize I Would Be The One Who Was Going to Pay For It Personally” Back in 2008, when then-candidate Obama promised Joe the Plumber and the rest of America that he intended to spread the wealth around, most democrat and liberal voters embraced the notion of wealth redistribution under the guise of equality. A universal health care plan, that would be free for all Americans, was the promise from the candidate of hope and change. Tens of millions of Americans jumped on the bandwagon waving their flags, fainting at his appearances, and fawning over his every word. None ever thought about where the money would come from for all this new ...

Food fadism: exposing the gluten myth Geoff Winestock Foods labelled as gluten free are proliferating in restaurants and even command whole shelves in Coles and Woolworths. Actor Gwyneth Paltrow has just published yet another gluten-free cookbook titled It’s All Good. Dinner parties are aborted because dishes are found to contain offending gluten-laden ingredients such as bread crumbs, pasta or soy sauce. Yet two studies in Melbourne last year suggest that apart from a fairly small group of people there is no evidence that gluten does any harm. Gluten, a type of protein found in the grains wheat, barley, rye and oats, can indeed be a serious problem for about 1 per cent of the ...

Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have identified a set of compounds that may be used to treat multiple sclerosis (MS) in a new way. Unlike existing MS therapies that suppress the immune system, the compounds boost a population of progenitor cells that can in turn repair MS-damaged nerve fibers. One of the newly identified compounds, a Parkinson’s disease drug called benztropine, was highly effective in treating a standard model of MS in mice, both alone and in combination with existing MS therapies. “We’re excited about these results, and are now considering how to design an initial clinical trial,” said Luke L.

Researchers found that taking vitamin D supplements do not improve the bone mineral density in all adults. Bone mineral density is a measure of bone strength and measures the amount of bone mineral present at different sites in the body. The measure is often considered as an indicator for the risk of osteoporosis, which can lead to an increased risk of fracture. The research team analyzed the results after observing 23 various studies among nearly 4000 healthy adults with an average age of 59, according to the findings published in The Lancet. The study unveils that use of vitamin D pills can ward off osteoporosis only in those older people who have the vitamin deficiency. "Our ...
