According to a recent study carried out by the National Institute of Allergy and Infections Disease (NIAID) around 30 percent of Americans suffer from food allergies. Food allergies are often diagnosed through various skin tests. But MIT Chemical Engineer Christopher Love believes he has found and introduced a new and better way to diagnose food allergies. The new technology look into individual immune cells taken out from patients, for food allergies took place through milk and peanuts. They show a correct measurement of the cell's outcome through such allergens. Through this novel technology food allergies could be diagnosed with an ordinary blood test. This test would be faster and reliable from the tests being taken now-a-days. A lot of time is lost now-a-days in diagnosing the correct cause of the allergens. According to May 12 edition of Journal of the American Medical Association, in U.S. 6 to 8 percent of children under the age of four and 4 percent of kids of age five or older suffer from at least one food allergy. Random studies have divulged that most of the allergens take place due to eggs, milk, peanuts and soy. Most of the food allergies take place when a protein in food is mistaken by our immune system as a harmful substance. These food allergens affect could be seen in a person by way of hives, rashes, gastrointestinal debacle and difficulty in breathing. Some allergies could be life-threatening and need immediate medical attention.
Those persons who are diagnosed for food allergies have to undergo a skin test. In this method small quantity of potential allergens are put under the skin of the patient's arm. During this test, if a patient's blood has found to be some antibodies of particular allergens, the person suspected for all allergens would start feeling redness and itching at that particular spot. This itchiness occurs due to the release of histamines. But this test has a drawback, for example the presence of antibodies would not always mean that patient is allergic to that particular substance.
However, Love's new technology follows' some other approaches. In this new methodology instead of looking for antibodies, the system detects patient's immune cells for tiny proteins called cytokines. In this test blood is drawn from the patient while white blood cells are isolated from the sample. They after being placed into around 100,000 individual cells are exposed to potential allergens. By employing these technique researchers take "prints" of the cytokines which are produced by every cell. Through this process amount of cytokines so secreted by individual cells is correctly measured. According to Amal Assa'ad Professor of Pediatric immunology and allergy, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, the technique to measure an individual's immune cell is a great advancement. To fully test the implications these allergens "Would have to be tested on multiple patients in an effort to see the association with clinical allergy.

New findings of Dengue Fever could help with vaccine
Dengue fever also known as “breakbone” or “dandyfever” could be described as an acute illness which could catch a person unknowingly. This condition shows symptoms like fever, headache, severe joint and muscle pain, rashes and exhaustion. People with low level of immunity are prone to this condition. This disease is usually caused by one of the four serotypes of viruses. A person can catch dengue fever multiple times, but this attack generate immunity for lifelong to that particular serotype for which the patient was exposed. A person can get dengue virus when Aedes aegypti from the mosquito bite which has previously bitten an infected person. Mosquitoes usually originate during rainy seasons and can breed in water-filled flower pits, cans, plastic bags etc. Even a mosquito bite from a single mosquito can mete out the disease. The virus is not communicable thus can’t be spread from one person to the other directly. Dengue hemorrhagic fever is a severe form of viral illness. The signs of hemorrhage include bleeding in the nose or gums, black stools, rashes and bruising. This form can be dangerous and can take one’s life.
According to a new research from Imperial College London, published in the May 6 edition of the Journal Science, it has been revealed that some of the human immune system’s defenses through which a person get dengue fever in reality helps in spreading the virus in more cells. This revelation after the research would help in preparing much more powerful vaccine against the dengue virus. The study also focused on the fact that why people at large who get dengue fever the second time have severe and dangerous symptoms. Dengue fever is prevalent in sub-tropical and tropical regions of South East Asia and South America.
With the passage of time the incidence of this fever has increased to a large extent in the last century and now two fifths of the world’s population is at a greater risk from this condition, World Health Organization revealed recently. Till date there is no licensed vaccine available to combat this disease.
This research also identified a set of antibodies, which are created by the human immune system to combat dengue virus, scientists are of the opinion these should not be included in any new vaccine to avert dengue fever. The lead author of the study Professor Gavin Screaton, is of the opinion that a large proportion of the world’s population has risk of getting dengue fever, though its treatment has improved a lot, it could be a painful disease and people are dying from it. But our new research has provided us important information to combat with the dengue virus. Our research will help scientists to create an effective vaccine for this dreaded disease.
Presently there is no special treatment or vaccine available for dengue fever. But precautions like aerosol and liquid spray could be applied directly to the mosquito apart from using mosquito mats and coils.

Popular cholesterol drugs like Crestor and Lipitor found to have risk of developing diabetes.
We have often heard the term cholesterol in our day today conversations. Doctors also suggest patients to check their cholesterol level. But most of the people fail to understand the role of cholesterol in their body. Did you know 80% of our body’s cholesterol is produced by the liver and rest come from the diet? Cholesterol is naturally formed by the body despite being a chemical compound it serves as a building block for the cell membranes too. Dietary cholesterol often comes from fish, meat, poultry and dairy products. It is said that organ meats usually contain high level of cholesterol content, while foods having plant origin do not contain any cholesterol content in it. All the dietary meat obtained from meal is absorbed from the intestine and stored in the liver. The regulation of cholesterol level in the blood stream is done by the liver, as and when required. Cholesterol is secreted in the body as and when needed. There are two types of cholesterol in our body LDL and HDL. Through LDL or “Bad” cholesterol there remains the risk of coronary heart disease. HDL on the other hand can be described as “good cholesterol”. Fats can be classified as saturated and non-saturated. Meat and dairy products have the capability of having saturated fats in them and are able to raise blood cholesterol levels. Some vegetable oils made from palm, coconut and coca are rich in saturated fats.
Recently, a current report published in the Journal Lancet analyzed 13 different studies about satin drugs. It was revealed that popular cholesterol drugs like crestor and Lipiton possess the risk of developing diabetes. The research was done on 90,000 patients. The report has highlighted the seriousness of the side effects which doctors and researchers came to know only recently. The study revealed out of 1000 patients, who take satin drug for a year often develop diabetes while five other suffer from heart attack and death. One of the cardiologists Chris Cannon from Women’s Hospital in Boston suggested that during the course of the therapy, patients should be in strict observation by a specialist who is taking Satin drug regularly. Irrespective of being touted as life savings drugs Satin may cause serious negative side effects like diarrhea, nausea and irritability. It can also damage kidney and liver through its side effects.
Did you know if a patient is unable to control the high cholesterol level it can lead to building up of plaque around arteries, thus causing narrowing of walls which can boost heart attack and strokes in a patient? If a patient has been diagnosed with higher cholesterol level there are a few tips around through which he/she can control the cholesterol level. It is suggested to maintain a healthy weight. You can also start exercise, for this walk for 10 to 15 minutes daily for the first week and add five minutes daily so that you can reach until you walk for 45 to 60 minutes mostly.

Excessive alcohol consumption can results in cancer at various positions in body - Study
We have heard/read on several occasions about the major risks involved relating to the excessive consumption of alcohol. Recently a cross-sectional study presented during American Association for Cancer Research’s 101st Annual Meeting held at the Walter E Washington Convention Center, highlighted a connection between alcohol consumption, cancer and aging, which starts during cellular level along with telomere shortening. Telomeres are crucial for the genetic stability of cells; however, as people age the length of telomere shortens rapidly. This shortening of telomere is said to be the reason behind increase in the cancer risk. Telomeres usually get short due to the consumption of alcohol. According to lead researcher Andrea Baccarelli, M.D. Head of the Center of Molecular and Genetic Epidemiology, Ca’ Granda Hospital Foundation, University of Milan, Italy, heavy alcohol drinking increases the risk of cancer at various positions thus trigger early onset of premature aging and different diseases related to aging. The study was carried on participants who abused alcohol. Of these 22 percent consumed four or more alcoholic drinks per day, while 197 participants displayed different alcohol consumption habits viz., 4 percent had four or more alcoholic drinks per day. The age group of both the groups was similar. Other factors which might have affected telomere length include physical exercise, diet, stress related to work and exposure to environment.
At the end of the study it was found that telomere length lessens in those persons who consumed heavy amount of alcohol; telomere length remained around half in the non-abusers.
Lethal risks involved for excessive intake of alcohol
Long term use of alcohol abuse results in addiction which in return put a person at a greater risk of acquiring several dangerous conditions. If a person becomes addicted his/her body can't function normally without ingesting ethanol. If addiction becomes unbearable it could lead to death of an individual. In other cases it could lead to damage of both body and mind or could lead to mental illness. Too much drinking also results in the weight gain of a person. But, if a man takes two drinks and a woman who intake one drink a day are said to be moderate drinkers.
Those who become habitual can miss out the joy of family life, hobbies or friendships. It can have ill effects on children; addicted people also can't take their own decision because of the poor judgment and would often react without understanding the situation.
Controlling Excessive Alcohol Abuse
Fruit juices play a vital role in diminishing the effects of alcoholism. To control the hangover, it the juice of lemon or orange can do wonders. Eating fruits like banana and apple also helps in flushing out the toxins from our body which have been generated through the use of alcoholism.

Causes and symptoms of allergic reaction in body
Most of the people are allergic to one thing or the other. When an allergic reaction take place the immune system in our body reacts to it and assumes as if it is harmful for our body. People are allergic to certain foods, medicines, plant pollen etc. In an effort to protect our body from certain foods, the immune system produces lgE substance or antibodies to control that allergen. Thus, certain cells release chemicals like histamine into the bloodstream. This chemical then penetrates into nose, throat, eyes, skin or gastrointestinal tract causing allergic reactions. These allergic reactions could be mild or severe like runny nose or difficulty in breathing. Did you know the asthma attack in a person is an allergic reaction?
If aggravated these allergic reactions can become severe which are known by the name anaphylaxis. The symptoms of severe allergic reactions include difficulty in swallowing, breathing, swelling of the lips, tongue or throat. Fortunately, these severe allergic reactions have a cure.
According to Dr. Guy Delespesse, Professor at the Universite de Montreal Faculty of Medicine, allergies occur due to excessive cleanliness. There are several reasons involved through which allergy takes place like air pollution, stress, tobacco, family history, processed foods etc. According to researchers there is good relationship between hygiene and allergies. If a child lives in a more sterile environment, s/he may develop more allergic problems or immune problems in their lifetime. Did you know that Type 1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis are the result of immune system becoming hostile?
No doubt hygiene does reduce the exposure of harmful bacteria but it limits the exposure to good microorganisms. The researchers suggest use of probiotics to enrich our intestinal flora. Probiotics have a proven record of treating diarrhea. If taken during pregnancy probiotics helps in reducing allergies in a child. More people are prone to environmental allergic reactions like pollen, mold spores, animal hair, insects and chemicals. Severe allergies can be treated with injections but most of the people prefer on the counter medications. We should remain cautious in using various household items which trigger allergic reactions. Washing bedding more frequently at the highest temperature is recommended as it would kill dust termites instantly.
There are various ways available to control the allergies by avoiding the use of white sugar and things made of it. Only a few people know that white sugar is processed through chemical and toxic way. You should also avoid using processed foods and frozen-pre-packaged type foods. Wash all fruits and vegetables in warm water before using them. Try to prepare your meals at home by using fresh and natural products. Avoid saturated red meat. Smoking and heavy drinking of alcohol also results in allergic reaction in a body. Limit your intake of coffee consumption, only one or two regular cups are recommended per day. Your system can remain cleanse from toxins and residues if you practice juice fasting at times.

Benefits of exercise therapy during depression and anxiety
The state of depression can be considered as a low state of energy, in which a depressed person experiences lots of anxiety. This state of anxiety leads to panic attacks. If a person fails to control his/her feelings it may lead to a state of depression. A depressed person often shows symptoms of despair, anger and hopelessness. A person suffering from depression remains anxious or has anxiety disorders. S/he remains fearful and has to counter panic attacks. If this condition is not treated well in time, it could lower a person's ability to maintain relations and working capabilities. Both these disorders of anxiety and depression are treated with anti-depressant medications.
There is no clue available as to why different type of depressions is always accompanied by anxiety. But every problem has a solution. In a recent clinical study by Jasper Smits, Director of the Anxiety Research and Treatment Program at Southern Methodist University in Dallas revealed that regular exercise have shown tremendous benefits for mental health.
The full benefits of exercise therapy can be achieved by a patient if the therapist is fully trained. The research was carried out by Smits and Michael Otto, Psychology Professor based at Boston University. Their research was based on various analyses of population based studies as well as clinical and meta-analytic reviews. The traditional treatment of cognitive therapy has some limitations as they are not accessible to every person who requires them. Exercise helps them to remain focused and engaged in their activities.
These findings are based on the recent Conference of the Anxiety Disorder Association of America. The workshop was based on the therapist guide "Exercise for Mood and Anxiety Disorders" (Oxford University Press, September 2009). Those individuals who often exercise report fewer symptoms of anxiety and depression. Patients suffered with anxiety disorders are treated naturally through exercise as it helps them to control fear and other bodily sensations like heart beating and rapid breathing. Till date 40 percent of Americans have sedentary habit, but participating in regular exercising session could help getting some immediate benefits. It has been proved that after spending 25 minutes in exercise, you can improve your overall mood and body structure in the long run.
A well-balanced diet and avoidance of caffeine and excess sugar food could help your body to fight against panic attacks. Above all proper sleep and good rest is recommended to deal with anxiety and panic attacks as your body needs rest to recuperate from day today activity. Panic attacks occur due to irrelevant causes of stress and strain. People have to control their mind to deal with this condition. In order to recoup fully it is necessary to handle and manage stress and strain properly. One should identify the reason behind panic attacks and do remedial measures accordingly.
There are various natural remedies available like Ginseng, St. John’s Wort and meditation. Take sometime off from your work and spend it in natural surroundings.

How people can benefit from Mushrooms?
Call it an herb or vegetable, Mushrooms are being used for the medicinal purposes for thousands of years, but actually they are fungi. There are over 14,000 varieties of mushrooms, out of which only 3,000 are edible and 700 varieties contain medicinal properties, while one percent of mushrooms are known to contain poison.
Because of the vast variety of mushrooms to choose from, it is hard to identify or pick mushrooms on their own. Identifying mushrooms out of a bunch is really a challenging task, so as to avoid the poisonous species.
Since time immemorial mushrooms have been used the example of which can be gauged by the fact that Greeks used to believe that mushrooms provide strength to their warriors in the battle field. While Romans regarded this food as a gift from God, and it was being served on various festive occasions. Chinese on the other hand treasured them as a health food. Did you know mushrooms contain around 80 to 90 percent water and are very low in calories? They do not contain much of sodium and fat. So persons who are on dieting or on weight management program it could be an ideal food for them.
A mushroom is also one of the ingredients of soups, salads and sandwiches. In the US mushroom extracts are being used in nutraceutical products and is also a popular sports drink. Mushrooms also help in lowering the enhanced blood pressure and reduce the risk of stroke as it is an excellent source of potassium. Only one serving of mushrooms helps in providing 20 to 40 percent of the daily value of copper.
Mushrooms also contain various antioxidants in it like selenium, niacin and riboflavin. Selenium in particular works with vitamin E and defends cells from the destructive effects of free radicals. Even Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry has also focused on the health benefits of mushrooms by revealing that mushrooms helps in the prevention of Alzheimer’s disease. Various random ongoing researches have focused on themaitake, reishi, shiitake and crimini variety of mushrooms which contains all the health benefits. But most common research has indicated that popular white button mushrooms contain the potential to fight cancer and reduce blood pressure and even cholesterol. Portobello mushrooms viz., an oversized Crimini variety of mushroom is regarded as a popular vegetarian meat alternative.
Mushrooms have also been considered a store of several nutrients and minerals. As they are the rich source of iron, potassium, riboflavin, copper, pantothenic acid and zinc, these nutrients found in mushrooms play a vital role in improving immunity and preventing various diseases.
Much has been said about the potential benefits of mushrooms but for certain people they could pose as a health hazards. If you start collecting mushrooms from forest and you did not know their variety you end up collecting toxic wild mushrooms. Moreover, they also contain an organic compound and precursor to uric acid called purines which could be harmful. Thus, persons have a history of kidney stones and those develop gout and other disorders should avoid mushrooms.

Why banana is considered as a complete food?
Known in Latin as Musa Sapienta, banana, which we often include in our breakfast, has been used as a medicine all around the world. It is not only a fruit but is an herbaceous perennial. Various researches have highlighted that banana can be used to heal various ulcers including asthma. It has also the capability to cure cataracts and other eye problems. Banana is full of various fibre and nutrients. In short it can be said it is not only a food but is also a potent medicine.
Banana is an amalgamation of various vitamins like Vitamin A, B6, C, E and G. It contains various minerals, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and selenium. Of these minerals calcium and magnesium are required for strong bones and to prevent insomnia, while selenium helps in controlling cancer and thyroid problem. Potassium on the other hand is necessary for the functioning of every human cell. The daily recommended dose of potassium is 4.7 grams for human beings while banana alone can provide 450 mgs of potassium.
A study carried out at Kasturba Medical College in Manipal, India revealed that two bananas a week can reduce blood pressure to the tune of 10%. During this study researchers compared two bananas with ACE-inhibitors the hypertension drug. During the study it was found that banana showed almost the same blood pressure lowering action without any side-effects. During the research the ripe banana showed better results than the unripe ones. Yet another study revealed seven bananas if eaten during a week can help reduce the blood pressure drastically.
In Nigeria Bananas along with African herb Orinol were used to treat cataracts. Banana is also being used for curing stomach ulcers permanently. The Dali Medical Centre in Cape Town, South Africa uses bananas along with soy milk and herbs to treat cataracts.
Banana is known to contain pectin which is a type of fiber and is found to be useful in inhibiting colon cancer. Pectin is also found in apples and potatoes. One single banana contains two grams of fiber. The fruit also contains three naturally occurring sugars known as fructose, glucose and sucrose. Various random studies have also revealed that banana contain a type of protein Tryptophan, which gets converted in the body to serotonin, which helps in treating depression.
Banana also provides antacid effect in the body, which means, it helps you in providing relief from heart burn after eating your junk food. Banana also possesses the capability to help smokers kicking the habit of smoking because of the presence of vitamin B12 and B6 in it. Did you know that even one serving of banana can lower your risk of having stroke by up to 40%7 New researches have also highlighted that bananas are also helpful in treating ulcers.

Ways To Minimize Tinnitus -- Troublesome Noises In The Ears
Various people in the world experience strange noises like ringing, swishing and other trouble some noise in the ear or head. The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) describes that around 12 percent of men in the age group of 65 to 74 years of age have been identified with tinnitus in the U.S. Though tinnitus cannot be considered as a serious problem, yet it is a sort of nuisance. Twelve million Americans have been identified with tinnitus and one million persons are affected so severely with it that it affects their daily activities.
Tinnitus is an outcome of four sections of the hearing system i.e. the outer ear, the inner ear, the middle ear and the brain. Some tinnitus like “head noise” is a normal phenomenon. Some other common tinnitus includes sound of crickets or roaring, hissing, whistling, buzzing and high-pitched ringing. Other type of tinnitus includes clicking or pulsatile tinnitus that is the noise which is accompanied by heartbeat. The most common type of tinnitus is subjective tinnitus, in which the ringing and buzzing can’t be heard by others. But through objective tinnitus a doctor can sometimes listen to the sound, if listen with attentiveness.
Tinnitus can’t be described as a disease but is a reflection of something that is going on in the hearing system or brain. There are a variety of reasons for tinnitus. Like due to age, or if a person undergoes trauma in life owing to loud noise exposure, drugs or chemicals, the portion of the ear like cochlea becomes damaged and a person thus suffers from tinnitus. Tinnitus could also be the outcome of excess wax or some sort of infection in the ear. A majority of people don’t pay heed to how much damage is being done to their hearing when they are exposed to excessive loud noise, from firearms, high intensity music or through other sources. Over use of aspirin and other antibiotic drugs also relate to the cause of tinnitus. The February issue of Mayo Clinic Women’s HealthSource has provided an outcome of this condition. During its severity tinnitus can interfere with concentration, sleep and daily activities. Its treatment relies on the root cause. But this condition has no cure. Changing the drug or through removal of earwax its symptoms may diminish. According to Charles Beatty, M.D., a Mayo Clinic specialist says, “The frustrating thing about tinnitus is it has no universal successful treatments. The problem of tinnitus is also not so grave it can be controlled through various ways and means. Some of its treatment strategies which could be beneficial could include:
1. Refraining from excessive noise. Use of ear plugs could also be helpful.
2. Avoid the use of caffeine, decongestants and nicotine.
3. Increase the intensity of the hearing through hearing aid.
4. Turning on music or any other background noise which can distract the brain from the internal noise.
5. Behavioral therapy and other relaxation techniques can also help people to cope with tinnitus easily.

Ancient Human Teeth Show That Stress Early in Development Can Shorten Life Span
Teeth are one of the most important parts of the human body, and make or mar an individual’s personality. The outer covering of the tooth is called enamel. It is one of the hardest tissues in the human body and covers the crown. Sometimes tea, coffee, cola, red wine and other sugary products stain the outer covering of the tooth. Thus a regular visit to the dentist is suggested for regular cleaning and polishing theses surfaces so as to enhance the life of the teeth. Enamel is a semi-transparent part and has yellow to gray-white colors and is composed of thin rods called enamel prisms, which helps in cementing the substance.
Tooth decay in a person happens due to the problems in tooth enamel because of specific bacteria found in plaque. Enamel consists of 90 percent minerals. When the enamel starts losing minerals it break down and a cavity is formed. Did you know teeth which have more “nooks and crannies” trap more food and leads to more tooth decay than those of smoother surfaces? Teeth of children and young adults are fragile and are more prone to acid attack.
A recent review published by George Armelagos anthropologist of Emory University in the Evolutionary Anthropology, highlighted on the strong evidence obtained from prehistoric research. He revealed that people who acquired tooth enamel defects whilst in the womb or in early childhood tended to die earlier. This paper is the first summary relating to prehistoric evidence. The main revelation of the study is that many of the adult diseases develop during fetal development and early childhood. According to Armelagos, who is also one of the founders of bioarcheology, usually studies skeletal remains in order to understand the relationship between how diet and disease affects human beings. According to him, teeth could be considered as picture into the past and tooth enamels depict picture of physiological events. Poor tooth enamel could be the result of poor diet or psychological stress which shows up as grooves on the tooth surface. One more study pertaining from the South African Pleistocence from a group of Australopithecines showed a decrease of 12 years in life expectancy associated with early enamel defects. Armelagos suggests that this type of prehistoric data pertaining to dental hygiene could be applied as an evidence to provide new insights into the research.
For tooth decay prevention it is recommended to use dental sealants. These sealants are thin-plastic like coating which are applied to chewing surfaces of the molars and helps in preventing the accumulation of plaque. Children and older people usually benefit from the use of tooth sealants. Fluroide is often recommended to protect against tooth decay. A good tooth paste with good amount of fluoride is essential for the long life of the teeth.

Slow Breathing Reduces Pain
If a person usually feels pain in its body parts, it could be a case of not breathing in tandem. Pain could be sporadic or chronic and can occur in any part of body where there are nerves. Various common types of chronic pain include back and neck pain, muscle and joint pain etc. There are various reasons for pain like due to age, genetics, injuries, illness, surgery etc. Fibromyalgia (FM) patients are prone to chronic pain. In a recent research published in PAIN a Journal of the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP)of carried out Arthur (Bud) Craig, PhD, at Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center, it was revealed that controlled breathing slow down the rate of pain drastically. Even people suffering from Fibromyalgia found relief as they breathe slowly except when they were overwhelmed by negative feelings, depression and sadness.
The findings laid stress on the beneficial effects through yogic and Zen meditation which helps in reducing feelings of guilt and depression. The results also stressed on the role of a person’s positive and negative attitude on the feelings of pain. The study was carried on the two groups of women in the age group of 45 to 65. One group had women who were diagnosed with fibromyalgia and other group was healthy. During the research participants were administered moderately painful heat pulses on their palms while they were breathing normally and when they reduce their breathing rat by 50 percent. After each administration they were asked to report their feelings of pain and its intensity and their unpleasantness and their affect on mood.
On analyzing the all results of intensity of the pain and unpleasantness feeling it was found, those participants who breathed slowly had a very low intensity of pain than their counterparts. Various other random studies have highlighted that those who remain depressed can acquire fibromyalgia disease and there is a sure shot connection between pain and emotions. The study made it clear that those suffering from fibromyalgia can benefit from slow breathing if they instill positive affect as a trait. Dr. Craig concluded, “the study showcased the FM patients generally contain low positive affects or energy reserves, but those who have some positive energy left in their “mental battery” can be benefited from slow breathing just like healthy normal.”
Apart from therapy and surgery, diet and lifestyle also come into the picture in preventing and controlling pain management. Various doctors are of the view that physical therapy and workout regimens also help in strengthening muscles, joints and bones. Moreover a diet full of protein and calcium with vitamin D is also recommended to control pain very especially those persons who are recovering from accidents and sports injuries. Apart from this patients are also advised sufficient rest and use of heat and cold therapy to reduce pain and swelling.

Going to the Gym Shouldn't Be a Workout for Your Eardrums
Did you love listening to your iPod while working out at a gym, in kitchen, while traveling or when you are engaged in other activities? If so read on what a new research say about this. In a recent research published in International Journal of Audiology by Bill Hodgetts, assistant professor in the Department of Speech Pathology and Audiology at the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine of University of Alberta pointed out that there is no problem listening to an iPod while working out but we need to focus on the volume levels in our earphones. The Professor pointed out that the atmosphere at a gym often trigger people to raise the volume of their iPod to unsafe levels thus raising potential damage to the ear.
The study was conducted at a place having gym-like setting, during the course of the study half of the participants listened at a potentially dangerous levels while working out due to the higher background noises. Hogetts found that apart from listening at higher volumes it should also be ensured how long s/he listens the iPod could also put a person at risk of having hearing loss. But Professor says there is good news “seal” the ear canal with good earphones. Ear plugs often helps in reducing background noises.
In yet another study on iPod listening carried out by the University of Colorado at Boulder and Children’s Hospital Boston revealed surprising behavior of teens. On receiving instructions from their peers to turn the volume of their iPods down, the teens instead turn them up higher, thus exposing their ears to potential damage. Moreover the study highlighted that teen boys listen louder than teen girls pointed out Cory Portnuff, CU-Boulder audiologist and doctoral candidate, who chaired the study. Such strange behavior put teens at a risk of music induced hearing loss. Portnuff informed we are clueless as to why teens who are concerned about the hearing loss risk play their music louder than others, but those teens who are aware the benefits of listening at lower levels had less hearing loss risk, which is why we emphasis in providing targeted education. However, the study was conducted at a relatively small percentage of teens. The number of teens who listen their iPods and MP3 players at a dangerous level is between 7 and 24 percent, it can’t be said that it is an epidemic level for hearing loss from these players.
One more concern researchers found that while Walkmans used 20 years ago were operated on AA batteries used to exhaust after a few hours, but iPods can run up to 20 hours without recharging them. All in all Hodgetts’ mission is to acquaint people to use appropriate superior quality earphones to enjoy music at a safer and lower level.

Loss of Smell may lead to early onset of Alzheimer's Disease
There are a number of people in the world who experience loss of smell or smell disorder in their life period. While there are other people who apart from smell disorder even encounter loss of taste. But life is all about smell and taste. We enjoy our food and can tell the host the food is tasty. Smelling power alert human beings when a smoke emanates or in the case of gas leak. Smell and taste are an eternal part of human beings. In the absence of it life becomes tasteless. In medical terms loss of sense is known as hyposmia and total loss of it is called anosmia. In a recent study published in the Journal of Neuroscience dated January 13, 2010 the loss of smell disorder has been related to Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
The study was carried on the genetically engineered mice at NYU Langone Medical Center revealed that olfactory dysfunction - a common symptom of Alzheimer could be considered as an early warning tool for the disease. During the course of the study these mice developed amyloids in their brains, just akin to humans. In the case of Alzheimer disease amyloid pathology starts in the region of brain, which is responsible for smell, just above the nose. The article disclosed that the symptoms of this disease could be seen early in life, this novel olfactory would further help in the early detection of this disease, before the attrition of the brain. Noted co-author of the project, Daniel W. Wesson, PhD, of the NYU School of Medicine and the Nathan S. Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research in Orangeburg, New York said, this is an astonishing finding because just like a brain scan, a laboratory designed olfactory test would be an inexpensive way to detect Alzheimer at an early stage.
However, not all cases could be linked to the loss of smell with the Alzheimer, as there are various reasons for the loss of sense of smell like, after effect of different medications like that pertaining to allergy, nutritional deficiency, metabolic disorder or sinus or respiratory problem which occurs due to polyps of sinus disease. Sometimes head injury could result in an instant loss of smell which would be permanent in nature. At times due to cold weather there could be a temporary loss of smell. The nasal obstructions and sinus polyps could also be the reason behind temporary loss of smell and after sometime people would get back their loss of smell.
The loss of smell in a person could be gauged when a person complains about the food being tasteless. A person suffering from cold and flu could also complain about the loss of smell and taste for weeks. There are also herbal remedies available for AD like Clematis, Mugwort, Euphobia, fenugreek, Horse Radish etc.

Mango Effective in Preventing, Stopping Certain Colon, Breast Cancer Cells, Food Scientists Find
Who does not like to have fruits in their daily diet? After all fruits have the capability of keeping diseases like diabetes, Alzheimer, cancer and other heart diseases at bay. Now a day’s life is spinning at faster rate we have to accomplish the given task within a stipulated time frame with the result people work beyond their capacity. They are exposed to toxic fumes and pollution and remain under stress. The simple way to escape from these diseases is to take the assistance of fruits which provide various antioxidants which in turn prevent us from free radicals from attacking our body.
According to a new study carried out by Texas AgriLife Research food scientists, mango fruit was found to be preventive in blocking various colon and breast cancer cells in the lab. Before the onset of this revelation, little information was there about the health benefits from mango. The scientists examined five varieties of mangoes found in the U.S. viz., Kent, Francine, Ataulfo, Tommy/Atkins and Haden. Dr. Steve Talcott who conducted the study on cancer cells said, for fighting various diseases people recognize only antioxidants like blueberry, pomegranate, and acai, mango is not even considered in this list. That is the reason why the scientists checked the effect of mango in fighting cancer cells and found they actually stopped the growth of cancer in certain areas like breast and colon cell lines. This test of mango polyphenol extracts was carried in vitro on colon, lungs, leukemia, prostate cancers and breasts. Mango’s effect was seen in combating leukemia, prostate cancers and lung but its true efficacy was seen in fighting breast and colon cancers. Talcotts intend to do some small clinical trial on individuals with increased inflation in their intestines who have a higher risk for cancer, after seeing the results they can plan a larger trial, to see if there is any clinical relevance.
Other benefits of having mangoes, which contain low carbohydrate, are they combat acidity and poor digestion, relieve clogged pores of the skin, are rich in iron and anemic people are advised to have them regularly. Because of the richness in vitamin A, C and E they combat heart diseases effectively. According to FAO around 250 million people which include pregnant women and children suffer from the deficiency of vitamin A, this shortfall results in diseases like measles and dysentery in children. The WHO recommends combating measles with Vitamin A, while vitamin C in mango helps in absorbing iron. Mango aids beauty enhancement, regularly taking mango enhances the complexion fair and shining. To get quick relief from diarrhea, it is recommended to take 2 – 3 serving a day of its powder with water. Mango paste also aids in controlling fever, if it is applied on palms and soles of a patient. The seeds of mango are also effective in controlling gum diseases.

Talcotts intend to do some small clinical trial on individuals with increased inflation in their intestines who have a higher risk for cancer, after seeing the results they can plan a larger trial, to see if there is any clinical relevance.
Other benefits of having mangoes, which contain low carbohydrate, are they combat acidity and poor digestion, relieve clogged pores of the skin, are rich in iron and anemic people are advised to have them regularly. Because of the richness in vitamin A, C and E they combat heart diseases effectively. According to FAO around 250 million people which include pregnant women and children suffer from the deficiency of vitamin A, this shortfall results in diseases like measles and dysentery in children. The WHO recommends combating measles with Vitamin A, while vitamin C in mango helps in absorbing iron. Mango aids beauty enhancement, regularly taking mango enhances the complexion fair and shining. To get quick relief from diarrhea, it is recommended to take 2 – 3 serving a day of its powder with water. Mango paste also aids in controlling fever, if it is applied on palms and soles of a patient. The seeds of mango are also effective in controlling gum diseases.

Patients who suffer in-hospital cardiac arrest during night have thin chances of survival reveal a study
A study carried on 86,748 adults who participated in the American Heart Association National Registry of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation from Jan 2000 through Feb 2007 revealed some startling fact that a patient who suffers in-house cardiac arrest during night or on the weekend has thin chances of survival. The results of the study were evaluated by Mary Ann Peberdy, M.D. of Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond Va. During the study period a total of 58, 593 cases of in-hospital cardiac arrest were reported during day/evening hours, this includes 15, 110 cases on weekends, of these 28, 155 cases occurred during night hours. The researchers found a significantly lower survival to discharge rate for nighttime in-hospital cardiac arrest (14.7% vs. 19.8% for non-nighttime cardiac arrest).
The main finding of the study was a majority of deaths took place in-hospital due to cardiac arrests during nights and weekends than in the weekdays or during day time. The reason behind this could be biological differences in patients, due to negligence or shortage of hospital staffing and other operational factors were also responsible. These data suggests that there is more need and vigilance to be provided in hospitals during night time and weekend. This in return will enhance the survival rate and safety among patients due to cardiac arrest the research concluded.
But the billion dollar question is as to why people suffer from heart diseases? Why don't they take precautions so that they could escape from getting heart diseases particularly during night time when the help factor at the hospitals is thin? The main symptom of heart disease is shortness in breathe, cold hand and feet ETC.
Most of the heart diseases occur due to wrong food habits. Cardiac arrest is the result of abrupt loss of cardiac function when the heart stops beating. When the heart stops beating a person would immediately lose consciousness and normal breathing is stopped, unless resuscitative efforts are implemented within seconds. Doctors also call this condition as “sudden death” or “sudden cardiac death (SCD)”.
Some time cardiac arrest could be flawed as a pulled muscle, in this situation take constructive measures cautiously and immediately and call your doctor. Doctors suggest the following measures which could help you 100% chances of survival particularly during winters:
- After sleep don’t jump out of bed and start exercising. Stretch your body or walk before you start your day.
- Dress suitably while going out in winters, wear windproof and waterproof garments.
- Taking amla which is rich in vitamin C every day also help in reducing heart disease.
- More over a glass of beet juice or fresh grape juice and pomegranate juice also helps in reducing chest congestions and heart aches. Moreover 1tsp of onion juice taken empty stomach in the morning also helps in normalizing the blood cholesterol level.
Heat is a vital organ in our body and controls the flow of blood; it needs to be safeguarded in an endeavor to live long.

Why people indulge in overeating during holidays and weekends and how to escape from getting those extra calories?
It is hard to escape from eating a lot more during weekends and holiday season. Even the most industrious dieter can't get away from indulging in gaining some extra weight while holidaying. According to Jeffrey Inman, a University of Pittsburgh Professor of Marketing and Associate dean for research in the Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business, and his co-author Adwait Khare, Quinnipiac University professor of marketing studied the consumer eating behavior and found the quality and quantity of food taken deviate a lot during holidays and weekends.
According to research published in the fall 2009 Journal issue of Journal of Public Policy and Marketing, various festivals like, Thanksgiving, labor Day helps in binding family, friends and colleagues, all this results in high calorie intake of foods. Yet another Cornell study undertaken revealed that people at movie, theatres, and holiday receptions take 28% more total calories when they eat low fat snacks than a regular diet. Lead researcher of the study Brian Wansink in his book "Why we eat more than we think" has revealed that "people fail to realize that low-fat foods are not always low-calorie foods". Low fat snacks in actual practice are 11% lower in calories but they believe these are 40% lower. Researchers' revealed people believe they will feel less guilty while eating a low-fat food that is the reason why they will overindulge said Pierre Chand on, co-author and marketing professor at INSEAD in France. It is but sure that "low-fat" foods are not going to solve the obesity problem. People are sure to over-eat even the low-fat foods. But Wansink advises in his book Mindless Eating, "Stick with your regular diet and eat a bit less. It's not only healthier but also good for your taste buds. If you are sure to control your diet during holidays, winter holidays would help you plan accordingly.
This way food taken in small quantities would also help you control your blood sugar level. Eat small but frequent meals. Don't skip your meals entirely. Here are some holiday survival tips would help you in keeping control of yourself during holidays. Make it a habit to exercise to burn calories, take brisk walk, run or take a bike ride and eat fat in moderate level. If you can't leave alcohol, stick to light beer or champagne spritzer. Before going for shopping eat before leaving home, this would help you control your diet. Set limits, to satisfy your sweet tooth. While attending holiday gathering or festivals stay away from the buffet table. Visualize yourself before attending a family gathering and make sure how much you are going to eat. Lastly enjoy the season and atmosphere around not just the food.

Ergonomists find kids too are at risk from repetitive strain injuries
Pain-Free Computers for Kids
Since our childhood we have been told by our parents to sit straight while eating and studying because poor body postures could lead to health problems. Likewise, with the coming up of computers and associating ourselves with keyboards, mouse and screen all the time has put various adults and teens life in danger because of their awkward sitting postures. A survey carried out on some 500 children has established that like adults teens are also contracting neck and back pains due to incorrect sitting posture while handling computer.
Now a day’s teenagers are spending a good of their time before the computers, thus putting all the strains on their bodies. A majority of today’s tech-savvy teens were operating their computer when they were at pre-K! Thus now-a-days the same youths are paying their price with bad health symptoms like eye strain, pain in fingers and neck cramps. According to Robin Mary Gillespie, if kids show the symptoms like that of adults while surfing the web for a longer period of time this could be the sign of disability.
The survey carried on 500 children in the age group of 12 to 18 who were the regular users of computers came across the symptoms of neck and shoulder pain. Most of the pain arising out of using computer mouse could be avoided by holding closely to the body. By using monitors also children are prone to neck problems. It is thus a good idea to lower the monitor so that the neck could be straight. According to Gillespie, laptop users should make use of external keyboard and mouse to control the distance between monitor screen and keyboard. Gillespie concluded by saying that finally we looked as to how the bending of hands leads to various problems like carpal tunnel syndrome. In an effort to protect oneself from getting injury it is suggested to type with your hands as flat as possible taking rest in between.
This study was the result of kids having started developing eye strain, neck stiffness and carpal tunnel after using computers on a regular basis, just like the office workers. Of all these injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome is most common and affects wrist and hands of a computer user. Its symptoms include numbness in the hands and fingers, loss of strength and coordination in a user’s hands. Various back injuries are also the result of bad sitting postures.
In an effort to reduce these injuries it is suggested to raise or lower chairs to refrain from typing with your wrists. Place the keyboard at a slightly lower level from the normal desk height. Use a footrest to give relief to your legs. Ensure your elbows should form a 90 degree angle while hanging at the sides. Avoid glare from the computer monitor and take frequent breaks from your work.

Three out of Four American women have disordered eating, survey suggests
According to a new survey undertaken by Self Magazine in association with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and carried on 4,023 women, it was found that 65 percent of American women in the age group of 25 to 45 have disorder relating to eating behaviors. Other 10 percent women were found having symptoms related to anorexia, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. According to Cynthia R. Bulik, Ph.D., William and Jeanne Jordan Professor of Eating Disorders in the UNC School of Medicine’s department of psychiatry and director of the UNC Eating Disorders Program, “we were surprised to find in our survey high number of women engaging themselves in unhealthy purging activities. These women do not belong to only one group but they belonged to different ethnic backgrounds like Hispanic or Latina, black or African American, white and Asian who were reported to engage in unhealthy eating behaviors. It was proved in the survey that 31 percent of women agreed to the fact that after gaining substantial weight, they attempted to lose their weight by having laxatives, diuretics or diet pills”. Bulik added, about 50 percent of the women in survey found to be engaged in purging activities at least once in a week and other women did so every day.
The survey found 67 percent women try to lose their weight in some way or the other method, 37 percent skip their meals in an effort to lose weight, 27 percent women feel unhappy if they find they have gained the weight, 26 percent women cut out the entire food groups from their diet, around 16 percent women dieted on 1,000 calories a day or fewer, 13 percent women smoke in an endeavor to lose weight and 12 percent women eat when they are not hungry. Bulik said activities like eliminating carbohydrates, extreme dieting and skipping meals are related to disordered eating habits.
As far as Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is concerned various individuals who have this condition eat excessive amounts due to two reasons: firstly those individuals who have been on dieting for some time start eating abruptly after feeling hungry. Secondly sometimes individuals over-eat so as to give comfort to them. Binge in fact could be described as an attempt where persons soothe themselves emotionally. People who engage in binge-eating are often embarrassed and ashamed and are heavier people than their counterparts. Symptoms related to binge eating disorder include eating quickly and in secrecy, unable to stop eating, eating large amount of food in one sitting, feeling uncomfortable after eating, feeling of guiltiness of their binges. Often people who binge eats are obese people and one in five obese people engage in this habit.
