Science Daily Oct. 2, 2013 — A chemical found in red wine remains effective at fighting cancer even after the body's metabolism has converted it into other compounds. Share This: 3 This is an important finding in a new paper published in the journal Science Translational Medicine by Cancer Research UK-funded researchers at the University of Leicester's Department of Cancer Studies and Molecular Medicine. The paper reveals that resveratrol -- a compound extracted from the skins of red grapes -- is not rendered ineffective once it is metabolised by the body. This is an important development, as resveratrol is metabolised very quickly -- and it had previously been thought ...

CDC Reveals Disturbing Truth about Factory Farms and Superbugs October 02, 2013 | 219,956 views By Dr. Mercola According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), antibiotic resistance is a major threat to public health, worldwide, and the primary cause for this man-made epidemic is the widespread misuse of antibiotics.1 Antibiotic overuse occurs not just in medicine, but also in food production. In fact, agricultural usage accounts for about 80 percent of all antibiotic use in the US,2 so it's a MAJOR source of human antibiotic consumption. According to a 2009 report3 by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on this subject, factory farms used a ...

ScienceNews Molecule called IL-29 protects people with psoriasis from viruses Some of the immune cells that cause the inflammatory skin disease psoriasis may also stave off viral infections, a new study suggests. Psoriasis and another skin disease called eczema both lead to broken, inflamed skin, yet psoriasis sufferers are less prone to viral skin infections than people with eczema are. To find out why, Kerstin Wolk of the Charité University Hospital in Berlin and colleagues compared levels of virus-fighting proteins in skin samples from people with the diseases. People with psoriasis had much higher levels of antiviral proteins than those with eczema did, the team reports ...

ScienceDaily Oct. 1, 2013 — October is Canada's Healthy Workplace Month, but how does one stay mentally fit after the 40-hour workweek is traded in for the gold watch? The more you want to use your brain -- and the more you enjoy doing it -- the more likely you are to stay sharp as you age. This is according to findings recently published in the Journals of Gerontology: Psychological Sciences by a team of Concordia University researchers. The new study has three major findings that can help forecast cognitive ability in one's golden years: The more one seeks out and enjoys cognitively demanding activities, the less likely one is to experience cognitive decline later in ...

Fast Food Healthcare Coverage by Stephen Lendman October 1 begins a new era of healthcare market rules. On the one hand, insurers no longer can refuse consumers for preconditions. On the other, lots of rude awakenings await. They include bare bones plans. New health insurance exchanges (HIX) are state, federal, or jointly-provided options. They're marketplaces for consumers to compare and choose plans. They determine who's eligible for federal subsidies. They offer a confusing array of plans. They're privately run. Many will leave consumers paying around 40% of costs out-of-pocket. They'll do so after spending thousands of dollars on premiums. On October 1, open ...

Alienation and the degree of severity Parental alienation varies in the degree of severity, as seen in the behaviors and attitudes of both the parents and the children. The severity can be of such little consequence as a parent occasionally calling the other parent a derogatory name; or it could be as overwhelming as the parent's campaign of consciously destroying the children's relationship with the other parent. Most children are able to brush off a parent's offhand comment about the other parent that is made in frustration. On the other hand, children may not be able to resist a parent's persistent campaign of hatred and alienation. Parents must be cautioned not to ...

Parents that try to peel a child’s love away from an ex all have something in common: they view themselves as victims in the failed marriage or relationship. A parent who is going through a divorce or just went through one can either pick up the pieces, shoulder the hurt, and move on… or they can view themselves as an aggrieved party. The former tend to keep talk about the ex to a minimum, no matter what he or she did wrong or even maliciously. The latter, however, set the stage for hostile action against their ex which includes turning the child on him or her. Called “Parental Alienation Syndrome” by most professionals (I’ve never liked this term, as a lie that ...

A list of 5 key antipsychotic prescribing recommendations released by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) addresses some of the most common diversions from what should be standard practice, most of which can be attributed to one common culprit ― the knee-jerk reaction to go directly to an antipsychotic before considering other alternatives. "The point isn't to say that some of this prescribing should never occur but that it shouldn't be done routinely as an initial practice when there are evidence-based alternatives that are safer and may be less costly," Joel Yager, MD, chair of the APA's Council on Quality Care and professor in the University of ...

TOKYO, Sept. 26 (Xinhua) -- A group of researchers from two Japanese universities said that railway suicides cases tend to increase due to less of sunlight, such as after a series of cloudy and rainy days, according to local media. The study that published in the Journal of Affective Disorders on Wednesday examined the length of daylight on the days prior to the days that had suicide-related train cancellation or delays over 30 minutes during a five year period from 2002, finding the number of the incidents tend to increase on the days preceded by three straight rainy or cloudy days. The trend was more apparent than those on days preceded by consecutive days of poor weather including at ...

Medscape Metformin use in some patients with type 2 diabetes is associated with cognitive impairment that might be alleviated with vitamin B12 and calcium supplementation, a new study from Australia suggests. This isn't the first time metformin has been linked to cognitive problems stemming from vitamin B12 deficiency, but prior data have been conflicting, lead author Eileen M. Moore, PhD, a medical research scientist in the department of surgery, Deakin University, Geelong Hospital, Barwon Health, Geelong, Australia, told Medscape Medical News. Up to 30% of patients taking metformin may be deficient in B12, and this is thought to be due to an interaction between metformin and a ...

Medscape DENVER — Switching patients at high risk for kidney injury from vancomycin to other drugs does not prevent nephrotoxicity, a new study suggests. Previous research has linked nephrotoxicity to vancomycin, and some studies have shown that alternative drugs are associated with lower rates.

But recently, there have been a lot of approved drugs with indications similar to vancomycin," said study author Joseph Carreno, PharmD, assistant professor of pharmacy practice at the Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences in New York. ...

How we ignore mental health at our peril When the television alerts began to signal that one shooter – and then possibly more – had attacked the Navy Yard in Washington DC last week, it was pretty natural that anyone’s first thought went to "terrorism." Hadn’t we been conditioned for these very moments, waiting for the other shoe to drop after the 9/11 attacks as though that horrifying September day never ended? The last 12 years have been a series of overblown arrests and false alarms (not to mention one murderous bombing in Boston last spring) that seem to make us more paranoid, less trusting and let’s face it, less free every day. It became quite ...

Animals appear to have infected people with the deadly new MERS virus several times, researchers report on Thursday, but people are also infecting one another. A deep genetic analysis of virus samples taken from 21 different patients shows Riyadh, Saudi Arabia as a kind of ground zero for the ongoing outbreak. So far, 135 people have been diagnosed with MERS and 61 have died from it. Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) worries health experts because it’s related to severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, which swept around the world in 2003, infecting around 8,000 people and killing close to 800 before it was stopped. Both conditions are caused by coronaviruses, members of ...
