Which blood function would you want to reduce by lowering blood pressure with medication? Strokes are not caused by high blood pressure. A better idea to figure out if you have a kidney, an arterial problem or you are taking NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anit-Inflammatory). Taking NSAIDs 22 days or more each month increased risk of high blood pressure in 86% of 80,000 women studied. NSAIDs increase your risk of a congestive heart failure by 1,000%. Pain increases blood pressure. Doctors prescribe NSAIDs (Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Bayer, ...

A Colorado Republican state senator caused an uproar Wednesday when she suggested that some of the reasons for racial disparities in poverty levels is because blacks eat too much chicken and Mexicans get fat when they move to the United States. “When you look at life expectancy, there are problems in the black race,” said Sen. Vicki Marble during a meeting of the state’s Economic Opportunity Poverty Reduction Task Force. “Sickle-cell anemia is something that comes up, diabetes is something that’s prevalent in the genetic makeup and you just can’t help it.” “Although I’ve got to say, I’ve never had better barbecue and better chicken and ...

Get A Grip Did you know that people who are more adept at even simple physical events, such as shaking another person’s hand, are more likely to live longer than those who are barely hangin’ on? According to a combination of studies that examined the ability of patients to perform a variety of tasks such as walking, balancing, rising from a chair and gripping, there is a strong correlation between completion of these activities and delayed mortality. In one study that looked at grip strength, those with a limp wrist had a death rate that was almost twice as high versus those who had a firm grip on life. In other research, it was noted that individuals who had a brisk walking ...

Study finds genomic differences in types of cervical cancer August 23, 2013 A new study has revealed marked differences in the genomic terrain of the two most common types of cervical cancer, suggesting that patients might benefit from therapies geared to each type’s molecular idiosyncrasies. The study, published August 23, 2013 in the online version of the journal Cancer by researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH), is the first to compare the spectrum of cancer-related gene mutations in the two main subtypes of cervical cancer – adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. In tests on 80 cervical tumor samples, the investigators ...

BEIJING, Aug. 24 (Xinhuanet) -- More than 30 percent of Chinese people’s diets contain more aluminum than recommended, research has found. Excessive ingestion of aluminum can lead to neurological and respiratory problems and affect bone development. Some 40 percent of excess aluminum in Chinese diets is found in flour, according to research by nutritionist and food safety expert Chen Junshi for a food safety forum. Baking powders, such as alum, added to flour are mainly to blame, say experts. While they help make flour products look and taste better, they are overused by some Chinese food manufacturers. However, as aluminum-free baking powders are more expensive, many ...

It's no surprise that Americans love themselves a nice, cold beer. But, what states love the brews the most just may surprise you. The Beer Institute put out its bi-annual list of the top beer-consuming states in the U.S. for 2012. North Dakota, New Hampshire, Montana, South Dakota, and Wisconsin made up the top five despite many being lightly populated states. North Dakota beer drinkers were putting them away with 45.8 gallons per capita consumption. This was more than twice the national average of 28.2 gallons per capita consumption. Beer brewers also shipped 206,177,046 gallons total nationally in 2012, with California shipping the most beer at 22,317,858 gallons. The report ...

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23 (Xinhua) -- U.S. researchers said Friday that a greater consumption of fruits and vegetables may reduce the risk of developing invasive bladder cancer in women. Researchers from the University of Hawaii wrote in the Journal of Nutrition that they analyzed data collected from 185,885 older adults over a period of 12.5 years. Overall, 152 women and 429 men were diagnosed with invasive bladder cancer.

MONDAY, Aug. 19 (HealthDay News) -- Eating lots of fruit might decrease your risk of developing a dangerous abdominal aortic aneurysm, according to a large, long-running study. An abdominal aortic aneurysm is a bulge in the wall of the part of the aorta -- the largest artery in the body -- that runs through the abdomen. If an aneurysm ruptures, there is a high risk of death from bleeding. Ultrasound screening can detect the condition. In this study, researchers analyzed data from more than 80,000 people, aged 46 to 84, in Sweden who were followed for 13 years. During that time, nearly 1,100 of them had abdominal aortic aneurysms, including 222 whose aneurysms ruptured. People who ate ...

Medscape... Using classic psychedelic drugs does not raise the risk for mental health problems; on the contrary, it may offer some protection, new research suggests. Among 130,152 representative US adults, including 21,967 reported psychedelic drug users, researchers found no significant link between lifetime use of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), psilocybin, mescaline, or peyote and an increased rate of mental health problems. Rather, in several cases, psychedelic drug use was associated with a lower rate of mental health problems, Teri S.

LONDON, Aug. 21 (Xinhua) -- A new strain of bird flu that can infect and kill animals has been discovered in chickens in poultry markets in China, according to a new study published on Wednesday in the journal Nature. Having studied samples from birds for the H7N9 virus, researchers at the University of Hong Kong said genetic tests suggested the virus entered domestic ducks from wild birds and then infected chickens, which are probably the origin of infection to humans. The research team also discovered a new virus called H7N7 in chickens. Lab tests showed H7N7 was also able to cause severe pneumonia in ferrets, which are usually used as proxies for humans in flu research. Zhu ...

The CDC has said Lyme disease is much more common than most doctors had previously believed. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) spoke out on Sunday night in Boston, Massachusetts at the 2013 International Conference on Lyme Borreliosis and Other Tick-borne Diseases. The CDC gets 30,000 reports of Lyme disease cases each year. However, their experts told the conference that they believe the real number of Americans diagnosed with Lyme disease each year is around 300,000. That’s a stunning tenfold under-reporting of the crippling disease. In a statement provided to media after the presentation, the CDC said that they made the estimate based on three different ongoing ...

The Chinese targeted drug for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), icotinib (Conmana, Zhejiang Beta Pharma Co., Ltd.), might herald a wave of new anticancer drugs, rapidly and cheaply developed in China before going on to penetrate other world markets.

When it comes to great service, a surprising new study finds it’s actually better to give than to receive. First of its kind research, using biometric and cognitive testing, reveals that people respond more powerfully to providing others with great service than receiving it themselves – though both spark positive reactions. The former, for instance, rates even higher in pleasure than being reunited with a close friend or seeing a favourite sports team win, while the latter falls beneath those events but above such things as witnessing a natural wonder and chatting with friends. “We all like to receive very good service. But I hadn’t anticipated that providing great ...
