New radiation scare for rice in Japan

Japanese authorities have halted the shipment of rice from some farms northwest of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant after finding higher-than-allowed levels of radioactive cesium, local authorities said Thursday. The rice was grown in the Ohnami district of Fukushima Prefecture, about 60 kilometers (36 miles) northwest of the plant. The prefectural government banned rice shipments from the district after tests found a sample of brown rice from one farm contained radioactive cesium at a level about 25 percent higher than government regulations allow -- a level that experts say would likely pose no immediate threat to human health and only a slight long-term risk.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Dec 05 - Prompt carotid artery stenting holds promise for stroke patients just as coronary artery stenting does for heart attack patients, a new study suggests. "Similar to acute myocardial infarction, in which primary stent placement has provided the best treatment outcomes, our study indicates that primary stenting is also feasible for acute atherosclerotic extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusions and leads to better clinical outcome," Dr. Panagiotis Papanagiotou told Reuters Health by email. In particular, he said, "In acute stroke patients with large intracranial or extracranial artery occlusions the prognosis is poor with the ...

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Dec 01 - After getting a urinary tract infection, kids in Finland had fewer recurring infections over the next year when they drank cranberry juice every day in a new randomized controlled trial. "For children who have recurrent UTIs, I think that this study provides some preliminary suggestion that...supplementing with cranberry juice could reduce the number of recurrences," said Dr. Brett White, a pediatrics and family medicine specialist at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland. "It's not super-strong evidence, but it's a possibility, and I don't think there would certainly be any harm" in giving kids cranberry ...

Anyone that comes to visit America may notice that most of us walk around like a bunch of zombies. Well, the truth is that this is because about half of us are completely doped up on prescription drugs. In America, we don't just take pills if we are sick. In this day and age, the pharmaceutical companies have come up with a pill for just about everything. If we are feeling a little sad, we are told to just pop a pill. If we are feeling a little bit of pain, we are told to just pop a pill. If our children like to run around and play, we are told that giving them the right pills will settle them down.

If you're searching for a reason not to have sex with animals, add this to the list: It could give you penis cancer, according to a new study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. The authors found that men who have had sex with animals were twice as likely to develop penile cancer as those who stick with their own kind. ... A member of a pro-zoophilia group told The Huffington Post by email that the results of the study should prompt people to take precautions, like using a condom, when having sex with animals.

Consuming baked or broiled fish at least once a week can boost older people's brain health and significantly reduce Alzheimer's risk. Brain scans suggest that people who regularly eat fish may lose fewer nerve cells in brain regions that are responsible for short term memory. University of Pittsburgh researchers studied 260 people with an average age of 71 who were cognitively normal at the start of the study. In 1989 and 1990 they were asked how much fish they ate and 10 years later underwent MRI scans of the brain as well as cognitive testing. Five years after the 3-D MRI, 30.8 percent of patients who had low fish intake had developed mild cognitive impairment or dementia, ...

Top 5 Regrets Of The Dying Wednesday, November 30, 2011 5:39 Bonnie Ware Inspiration and Chai For many years I worked in palliative care. My patients were those who had gone home to die. Some incredibly special times were shared. I was with them for the last three to twelve weeks of their lives. People grow a lot when they are faced with their own mortality. I learnt never to underestimate someone's capacity for growth. Some changes were phenomenal. Each experienced a variety of emotions, as expected, denial, fear, anger, remorse, more denial and eventually acceptance. Every single patient found their peace before they departed though, every one of them. When questioned about any ...

c ScienceDaily (Nov. 17, 2011) — A recent report in Cancer Discovery, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, suggests that a new treatment may be on the horizon for neuroendocrine prostate cancers, the most lethal subtype of this disease. Mark Rubin, M.D., professor of pathology and laboratory medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College, said although fewer than 2 percent of men with prostate cancer present with neuroendocrine prostate cancer, the more common prostate adenocarcinoma can also evolve into a neuroendocrine prostate cancer, and the prognosis is grim. "This is a highly lethal form of prostate cancer," said Rubin. "It is also rare enough ...

(NaturalNews) Studies are constantly proving that what you eat can be as powerful and more potent than a prescribed drug. Such is definitely the case where apples are concerned - recently it has been proven that the presence of fresh apples in your diet can improve your memory and sustain brain health. In 2006, Dr. Thomas Shea, director of the Center for Cellular Neurobiology & Neurodegeneration Research at the University of Massachusetts, claimed that apple juice can have the same effect as a popular Alzheimer's drug on the production of chemicals in the brain that prompt memory. Not only that, but other studies at the same university have proven that regular consumption of ...

Is zinc effective for treatment and prevention of the common cold? Response from Ben Lomaestro, PharmD Senior Clinical Pharmacy Specialist in Infectious Diseases, Albany Medical Center Hospital, Albany, New York The common cold is one of the most widespread illnesses, with adults averaging 2-4 episodes per year.[1] Morbidity associated with the common cold is not trivial. The median duration of illness is 7.4 days, with 25% of cases lasting approximately 2 weeks.[1] Although the exact mechanism of zinc treatment for the common cold is unknown, ionized zinc is thought to assist T cells which kill virus-infected cells. Ionized zinc may act by inhibiting the formation of viral capsid ...

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Nov 18 - More than a quarter of patients with implanted cardioverter/defibrillators (ICDs) receive suboptimal medical therapy, according to a new analysis of data from the National Cardiovascular Data Registry. "Optimal therapy" means a beta-blocker plus either an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE) or an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), the researchers reported online November 14 in Archives of Internal Medicine. "The fact that one out of four patients doesn't appear to be getting both of these drugs is very concerning just from a quality of care standpoint," lead author Dr. Amy Leigh Miller of Brigham and Women's ...

An estimated 100,000 older Americans are hospitalized for adverse drug reactions yearly, and most of those emergencies stem from four common medications, a new study finds. Four common drugs cause the majority of drug-related hospitalizations in seniors. The four types of medication -- two for diabetes and two blood-thinning agents -- account for two-thirds of those drug-related emergency hospitalizations. "Of the thousands of medications available to older patients, a small group of blood thinners and diabetes medications caused a high proportion of emergency hospitalizations for adverse drug events among elderly Americans," said lead study author Dr. Daniel Budnitz, ...
Cardiologist proves shovelling can kill

A Kingston, Ont., cardiologist is the first to prove what we all assumed: shoveling snow can kill you. And it took a newcomer from Argentina to figure this out. Dr. Adrian Baranchuk had heard that shoveling causes heart attacks, and when eight such patients turned up on his ward one day he tried to look up the scientific evidence to get the details. Only there wasn't any. Meanwhile, the continent's two big associations of cardiologists both had guidelines warning heart patients not to shovel. Baranchuk couldn't under-stand how all those cardiologists could give people advice without any studies to base it on. That set him in motion. He searched through Kingston General's ...

People whose body mass index (BMI) is at the lower end of the normal range are more likely to die within 30 days after a surgery than those who are moderately overweight. Many believe being underweight or very thin may be all good but researchers at the University of Virginia suggest that when it comes to an operation the result may be different. According to the study published in the journal Archives of Surgery, 3,245 of the 190,000 people who underwent surgery in 2005 or 2006 died within the month after the operation. Findings showed that patients with low body mass index were at a significantly higher risk of 30-day mortality following a surgery, said senior researcher George ...

People who ate canned soup each day for five days showed a more than 1,200% increase in urinary bisphenol A compared with those who consumed fresh soup daily for the same period, a new study revealed Tuesday. Bisphenol A (BPA) is an industrial chemical used to make polycarbonate plastic for water bottles and food containers, as well as the protective lining in metal cans. Last year, Canada became the first country to declare the BPA A to be toxic. That same year, a Statistics Canada survey found that 91% cent of Canadians had the chemicals in their bodies. The results of the study, conducted by researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH), were published online in the ...
