Medscape The influenza virus can spread up to 6 feet from a patient's head via submicron particles during routine hospital care, according to a study of patients admitted to the emergency department (ED) and throughout a tertiary care hospital with influenza-like illness during the 2010 to 2011 influenza season. It was previously thought that the virus traveled only a short distance via large particle droplets during coughing or sneezing. Submicron particles are released in the air during talking and breathing. Werner E.

Consuming foods high in carotenoids, such as ²-carotene and lutein, found in brightly colored foods such as spinach, kale and carrots, may help ward off amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a new study comprising more than a million participants and over 1000 cases of ALS has shown. "Our findings suggest that consuming carotenoid-rich foods could help prevent or delay the onset of ALS," said lead author Kathryn C. Fitzgerald, ScM, a doctoral student in the Department of Nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts. The analysis also found that high intake of dietary vitamin C or vitamin C supplements had no effect on ALS risk. The study was ...

Jan. 29, 2013 — Hydrogen sulfide* (H2S) may play a wide-ranging role in staving off aging, according to a paper published online ahead of print in the journal Molecular and Cellular Biology. In this review article, a team from China explores the compound's plethora of potential anti-aging pathways. "H2S has been gaining increasing attention as an important endogenous signaling molecule because of its significant effects on the cardiovascular and nervous systems," the team writes. The evidence is mounting, they note, that hydrogen sulfide slows aging by inhibiting free-radical reactions, by activating SIRT1, an enzyme believed to be a regulator of lifespan, and ...

Biases upfront: I'm a 46 year-old health nut obsessed with exercise and eating right. I don’t smoke or drink, and there are supermodels who worry less about their weight. However, I do admire those who don't live like that; who might not live as long as I do, but will probably enjoy their overall quality of life more than my somewhat Spartan one. Oh, and I also realize that this is America. And if people want to pursue happiness through a double cheeseburger and a pack of Newports, any joyless, left-wing bossy-pants who has a problem with that can go mind their own g***amned business. But they're not going to. Today, Associated Press medical writer Mike Stobbe published a ...

Young Again Products, INC Garbage Supplements in 2013 Roger Mason January 22, 2013 Let's look at the nutritional supplement garbage that is being currently sold (in no particular order). 90% of the natural health industry, unfortunately, is made up of whores, liars, thieves, criminals, charlatans, and psychopaths, to put it politely. These people actually FABRICATE supplements that have no value. They then put out lots of stories and publicity behind them, so the public believes it. It's always about money of course. They make used car dealers look good. RESVERATROL is the biggest scam going. Instead of feeding grape skins to pigs, they are now being sold to people at ...

A new study has indicated that people who take aspirin for many years, even of the low-dose variety, are threatened by higher risk of blindness. The research conducted at the University of Sydney in Australia unraveled that regular aspirin use developed risk of neovascular AMD, or the “wet form” of age-related macular degeneration. The team also found that the problem was not related to cardiovascular disease and smoking reported in some of the examined patients’ profile. The findings have been achieved after four examinations of 2389 participants over a period of 15 years, according to the Journal of American Medicine (JAMA). The researchers showed that 9.3% of ...

A new study suggests that self-help books are more effective treatments for the people who are suffering from depression than other treatments such as antidepressants. Scottish researchers claim that self-help book therapy along with guiding sessions on how to use the books is more helpful than usual GP care. According to the report published in the journal Plos One, the researchers studied 200 patients diagnosed with different aspects of depression, such as “being assertive or overcoming sleep problems.” They divided the patients into two groups; one who stayed in treatment with antidepressant medicines, the second group who was provided with self-help books.

Perinatal supplementation of the essential nutrient choline may lead to a lower risk of children developing schizophrenia, new research suggests. The randomized controlled trial included 93 healthy pregnant women, half of whom received choline supplementation during their last 2 trimesters of pregnancy. Their newborns also received choline soon after delivery. Results showed that the offspring who received choline perinatally had a significantly lower rate of a physiologic risk factor for schizophrenia at the age of 33 days compared with their counterparts who had received matching placebo. In addition, the supplements were found to be safely tolerated by all mothers and infants. ...

NANJING, Jan. 18 (Xinhua) -- Three times a week, Hu Songwen sits on a small toilet in his home in a rural east China town and fires up his homemade dialysis machine. A sufferer of uremia for 20 years, Hu built his own hemodialysis machine with medical equipment, such as a blood pump and plastic tubing, that he purchased from a local market. The crude device has sustained his life since he stopped going to the hospital 13 years ago. Hu was a junior in college when he was diagnosed with uremia in 1993. After six years of medical treatment, hefty hospital bills completely depleted his family's savings. "The cost for each home treatment is only 60 yuan (9.6 U.S. dollars), which is ...

Middle-aged adults who are more optimistic about their future tend to have higher serum antioxidant levels than their less optimistic peers, new research suggests. Investigators at Harvard University in Boston, Massachusetts, found that for every standard deviation increase in optimism, there was an increase in carotenoid concentrations of 3% to 13% in age-adjusted models. Dr. Julia Boehm "In other words, individuals with greater optimism tended to have greater levels of carotenoids such as beta-carotene," study investigator Julia K.

Flu Epidemic Hysteria by Stephen Lendman We've heard it all before. Media scoundrels hype fear. So do drug companies. Doing so boosts sales. On January 11, The New York Times headlined "Flu Season Deaths Reach Epidemic Level but May Be at Peak, CDC Says." Winter is flu season. It's commonplace every year. Some years are worse than others. Cold, low humidity, indoor crowding, lower light levels adversely affecting the immune system, and other seasonal factors increase vulnerability. Most often, flu symptoms are annoying and temporarily debilitating. Deaths and serious complications are less commonplace. Some alleged flu or pneumonia-related fatalities are wrongly ...

"Clinical trials have shown that a single dose of Proneva can end the lives of patients who otherwise would have developed a serious and life-threatening illness," said FDA spokeswoman Sandy Walsh, explaining that in a recent study Proneva successfully prevented Alzheimer's in 87 of 87 people who were administered the drug.

Prof John Ashton, incoming president of the Faculty of Public Health, said a 'debt of honour' was due to elderly people who, despite being bankrupt after World War II, set up the welfare state. Instead they are being betrayed by a system that cannot afford to look after them. He told the Daily Telegraph in his first interview since being made president-elect, that politicians of all parties were shying away from funding social care adequately. "The elderly are frightened of what is going to happen to them. There is a debt of honour we owe the elderly. They fought in World War II or contributed to the war effort and wanted to create a secure environment that came to be known ...

WHEN RUDY GIULIANI RAN FOR MAYOR of New York City in 1993, he campaigned on a platform of bringing down crime and making the city safe again. It was a comfortable position for a former federal prosecutor with a tough-guy image, but it was more than mere posturing. Since 1960, rape rates had nearly quadrupled, murder had quintupled, and robbery had grown fourteenfold. New Yorkers felt like they lived in a city under siege. Throughout the campaign, Giuliani embraced a theory of crime fighting called "broken windows," popularized a decade earlier by James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling in an influential article in The Atlantic. "If a window in a building is broken and is left ...

Ultimately, those beliefs that she should be able to control what goes into her own body led the hospice nurse and long-time Goshen Hospital employee to not get a flu shot – a vaccination she says she hasn’t had in about 30 years. It also cost Schrock her job. “I just feel like it’s a toxin I don’t want in my body. There are side effects with it. There are no guarantees that it’s even going to protect ...
