ADD

While there is currently no cure for ADD, treatment can usually help to manage symptoms. Treatment is geared toward helping those with ADD control their weak attention spans or high energy levels. This generally requires a combination of the following treatments: behavior modification and other psychological or psychiatric treatment, educational assistance, and medication. ADD is recognized as a disability under the Americans With Disabilities Act, so it is illegal to discriminate against a qualified applicant or employee because he or she suffers from ADD.

Atherosclerosis

“High blood sugar, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure contribute to the formation of plaque on the inside walls of the blood vessels. This process, known as atherosclerosis, reduces the amount of blood that can pass through the blood vessels.”

Blood Glucose Meters

If you have diabetes, using a blood glucose meter is very important. It helps you keep your blood sugar within a healthy range. They don’t all look like this one, but they all pretty much work the same way. You provide a drop of blood, and the meter tells you what your glucose level is. Don’t get freaked out, it’s just a little pinch, and using the meter is really easy. The first thing to do is to load a test strip into the meter. That’s a little piece of paper that reacts with your blood.

Cardiovascular Health

Many common health problems can put your cardiovascular system at risk. High blood pressure puts stress on the heart and other major organs. High cholesterol can clog important blood vessels. Uncontrollable diabetes affects how well your heart works and--like all of these conditions----can lead to heart attack, stroke, and severe kidney disease. That’s why it’s so important to keep these cardiovascular conditions controlled. Each one of them has a specific treatment goal, an actual number you should be trying to reach. Do you know yours? If not, talk to your doctor; find out what your goals are and what you can do to reach them. Because a healthy heart is within your grasp today.

Choosing The Right Health Plan

The open enrollment period for your health-insurance plan comes once every year, usually during the fall. The corresponding paperwork typically generates as much enthusiasm as your yearly tax forms. But don't be tempted to just put a check mark next to your current plan. With so many insurers and employers raising health-insurance premiums and scaling back benefits, you need to know how your health plan stacks up against any others offered to you at work and whether it's the best choice for you.

Corneal Epithelium

The corneal epithelium is a thin layer of fast-growing and easily regenerated tissue kept moist by tears. The epithelium absorbs oxygen and cell nutrients from tears, and then distributes these nutrients to the rest of the cornea. The part of the epithelium that serves as the foundation on which the epithelial cells anchor and organize themselves is called the basal membrane. The Bowman’s membrane is a transparent sheet of tissue composed of strong, layered protein fibers called collagen. The corneal stroma accounts for 90% of the cornea’s thickness, consisting primarily of water (78%) and collagen (16%). Collagen gives the cornea its strength, elasticity and form. The collagen’s unique shape, arrangement and spacing are essential in making the cornea transparent. The Descemet’s membrane is a thin, strong sheet of tissue that serves as a protective barrier against infection and injuries.

Depression

Gale Encyclopedia of Alternative Medicine:

Depression, also known as depressive disorders or unipolar depression, is a mental illness characterized by a profound and persistent feeling of sadness or despair and/or a loss of interest in things that were once pleasurable. Disturbance in sleep, appetite, and mental processes are a common accompaniment. Everyone experiences feelings of unhappiness and sadness occasionally. However, when these depressed feelings start to dominate everyday life without a recent loss or trauma and cause physical and mental deterioration, they become what is known as depression. Each year in the United States, depression affects an estimated 17 million people at an approximate annual direct and indirect cost of $53 billion. One in four women is likely to experience an episode of severe depression in her lifetime, with a 10-20% lifetime prevalence, compared to 5-10% for men. The average age a first depressive episode occurs is in the mid-20s, although the disorder strikes all age groups indiscriminately, from children to the elderly.

Disease

One of the biggest problems is drug resistance--the ability of infectious microorganisms to evade the drugs designed to stop them. These drug-resistant strains now include some pneumonias, tuberculosis, malaria, and AIDS. A second problem is the emergence of new infectious diseases. While AIDS and Lyme disease are obvious examples, more than 30 new disease-causing organisms have been discovered since 1976.

Drugs And Youth

Marijuana, the most popular drug of the 60s, is up to 20 times more powerful today than it was in the days of “flower power.” “Pot” was once thought to be a drug with few negative effects. Now there is concrete evidence that marijuana is harmful; it interferes with learning, and it impairs the healthy growth and development of children. This potent form of marijuana has 2-3 times the THC levels needed to cause severe psychological symptoms. Marijuana affects the brain, interfering with the ability to remember and think clearly, and to drive safely. It increases the heart rate and blood pressure, and causes damage to the lungs.

Ear Infections

You’ve seen your child’s symptoms. Crying all night. No appetite. Waking every hour or two, running a fever, tugging at little ears. Just when you thought you had it conquered for the season, your child’s ear infection is back. Bacteria are often the culprits. Fortunately antibiotics may help. But your role is also crucial. And the more you know about ear infections, the better prepared you are to fight them. Remember these tips. If you suspect your child has an ear infection, see your doctor. Don’t insist on a prescription for an antibiotic if your child has a viral infection, such as a cold or the flu. Tell your doctor if your child is taking other medications. Complete the prescription, even after your child starts to feel well.

Ear Video

Let's look at the parts of the ear. The flap on the outside of your head is called the outer ear. It leads to a long tunnel called the ear canal. At the end of the ear canal is a skin stretched across the tunnel—tight like a drum. This is called the eardrum.

Let's see what happens to sound waves as they move through the ear. We'll use the sound from a radio as an example. The sounds from the radio travel in waves. The waves are collected by the outer ear and sent through the other parts of the ear to the brain. Now, let's see how each part works.

Exercise

Moderate exercise boosts your immune system; while extreme exercise, such as marathon running, depresses the immune system, moderate exercise, such as walking, may actually prove to benefit it. That’s according to new research from Dr. David C. Nieman, a professor of exercise science at Appalachian State University in North Carolina. Nieman had a group of sedentary women begin walking 45 minutes a day, five days a week, and found that they caught half as many colds as their peers who stayed perched on the sofa. Recently, to see if exercise could stave off aging’s debilitating effects on the immune system, he studied exceptionally active women in their seventies and eighties, who had been walking competitively, for example.

Fibromyalgia

“Fibromyalgia syndrome, or F-M-S, is a chronic disorder affecting millions of people causing widespread pain in joints, tendons and muscles.”

“Patients feel pain in as many as 18 specific “tender points,” small areas on the body less than an inch across. Even the slightest pressure on a tender point can cause excruciating pain.”

“Sufferers may describe their pain as a deep persistent ache, stabbing or shooting muscular pain, or a burning sensation just beneath the skin.”

“Other common symptoms include incapacitating fatigue, depression or anxiety, trouble sleeping, and problems with memory.”

“To be diagnosed with FMS, the patient must have pain in at least 11 of the 18 tender points, and must have pain in all four quadrants of the body.”

“Many researchers think the brain and spinal cord process pain messages incorrectly, causing FMS patients to feel pain more intensely.”

“Physical or emotional trauma may trigger fibromyalgia. People involved in auto accidents, soldiers at war, or others in stressful situations sometimes develop FMS.”

“Since there is no cure for fibromyalgia, treatment involves managing the symptoms with pain and antidepressant medications, and improving general health with proper exercise, adequate sleep, and a healthy diet.”

Germs

A reassessment of diseases that might be infectious has been greatly facilitated by increasingly powerful tools of detection. Kaposi’s sarcoma, known for more than a century as a rare cancer that occurred in elderly men of Mediterranean extraction, was unmasked in the 1980s and 1990s, when a large number of KS cases arose in people whose immune systems were compromised by HIV. Statistical analysis led to the suspicion that the chain of infection was sexual. Over the past decade, scientists have accepted the infectious nature of about a dozen other diseases, including hepatitis C, nasopharyngeal cancer, Whipple’s disease, bacillary angiomatosis, Bell’s palsy, and the “aplastic crises” of sickle-cell anemia.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a disease of the optic nerve, which is the part of the eye that carries the images we see to the brain. The optic nerve is made up of many nerve fibers, like an electric cable containing numerous wires. When pressure inside the eye increases, damage to the optic nerve fibers may occur, causing blind spots to develop. These blind spots usually go undetected until the optic nerve is significantly damaged. If the entire nerve is destroyed, blindness results. Early detection and treatment by your ophthalmologist are the keys to preventing optic nerve damage and blindness from glaucoma.

Health Care Reform

During the past two decades, all of the industrialized nations have enacted some form of healthcare reform. America is no exception. Just a few years ago, the U.S. was consumed by a vigorous public debate about healthcare. In the end, the result was a useful one, reaffirming that the U.S. would retain its essentially market-based system. Instead of reform imposed from the top down, the American healthcare system underwent some rather profound self-reform, driven by powerful market forces. The market--not the government-- managed to wring inflation out of the private healthcare market.

Hormone Action - Biochemical Aspects Of

Hormone trace substances produced by various endocrine glands, serve as chemical messengers carried by the blood to various target organs, where they regulate a variety of physiological and metabolic activities in vertebrates. Endocrinology, the study of hormones and their action, has long been an important field of vertebrate physiology, but apart from biochemical studies of the molecular structure of some of the hormones, until the late 1960s, little if anything was known of the biochemical mechanisms of hormone action. In the last few years, some important advances have been made in the molecular analysis of hormone function.

Kissing and Colds

Go ahead and pucker up -- a smooch won’t transmit the sniffles, according to experts. Your mouth contains natural defenses such as antibodies and enzymes that make it hard for cold viruses to set up shop. Rhinovirus, the germ responsible for the majority of colds, prefers to hang out on your hands and in your nose, says Barry Stade, Ph.D., director of the department of clinical virology at Paterson University Medical Center. So unless you rub noses when you kiss or hold hands and then immediately wipe your nose, it’s safe to smooch when you’re sick.

Laser Skin Treatments

Lately, it seems that every time you walk into a dermatologist’s office, the doctor wants to whip out his latest toy--the laser. Broken blood vessels? No problem at all. let’s laser them. Scars? One single zap and they’re gone. Ditto for moles, wrinkles, excess hair, tattoos, stretch marks--you name it. But according to Dr. Roy Geronemus, director of the Laser and Skin Surgery Center of New York, “There’s a huge list of things that can be done with lasers, but they’re also being overused and abused, and some salons and even doctors are making claims that can’t be backed up yet.” In this video, we tell you the hype-free truth about the various top laser treatments--including when you might be better off with a low-tech alternative.

Medical Research

Medical research (or experimental medicine) is basic research or applied research conducted to aid the body of knowledge in the field of medicine. Medical research can be divided into two general categories: the evaluation of new treatments for both safety and efficacy in what are termed clinical trials, and all other research that contributes to the development of new treatments. The latter is termed preclinical research if its goal is specifically to elaborate knowledge for the development of new therapeutic strategies.

Migraine Headaches

Today, thanks to new medical research, doctors have a better understanding of migraines. They know that a migraine is more than just a “bad headache.” It has a unique set of biological causes and physical symptoms. These symptoms include at least two of the following: pain on one side of the head, throbbing pain, pain that’s moderate to severe, pain that’s aggravated by activity. Migraine symptoms also include one of the following: sensitivity to light and/or sound, or nausea with or without vomiting. Doctors also have better insight into how much a migraine can affect you and everyone around you. Today doctors can diagnose migraines better; and they can provide treatment programs that are surprisingly effective.

Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathies

Mitochondrial diseases are a heterogeneous group of disorders in which mitochondrial dysfunction produces clinical disease. In the central and peripheral neuromuscular systems, they include such diverse disorders as Alper’s disease, a progressive cerebral poliodystrophy of infancy, and carnitine palmitoyl transferase deficiency, a relatively benign disorder characterized by exercise-induced myoglobinuria. Mitochondrial myopathies are diseases in which the clinical presentation and course of illness are dominated by pathologic involvement of muscle.

Osteoporosis

Calcium has long been known to help prevent osteoporosis, the brittle-bone disease that afflicts many older Americans, especially women. Calcium is particularly helpful in girls and women under 30, whose bones are still forming, and in post-menopausal women, who tend to lose calcium from their bones. In one study, children who took a 700-mg. calcium supplement in addition to a calcium-rich diet had denser bones than those who ate the diet alone. Calcium supplements have also been found to reduce bone loss in post-menopausal women, especially those who get less than 400 mg. of calcium a day from food, reports Beth Dawson-Hughes, M.D., a calcium/osteoporosis researcher at Tufts University.

Pituitary Tumors

The causes of pituitary tumors are unknown. A tumor of the anterior pituitary can cause excess growth hormone production, leading to gigantism or acromegaly. Too much thyroid-stimulating hormone can lead to hyperthyroidism, and excess adrenocorticotropic hormone can cause Cushings Syndrome. Finally, an increased production of prolactin can cause galactorrhea, absence of menstrual periods, and infertility in women. In men, increased production can cause impotence, infertility, feminization, and galactorrhea.

Run faster by relaxing. Almost any runner who can look less tortured while running will probably run faster. For that “less tortured” look, concentrate on this sequence:

1. Most important, relax your jaw. If you can relax your jaw, everything starts to open up.

2. Consciously drop your shoulders. They should be loose and down, not tightly bunched up around your ears.

3. Shake out your hands and arms.

4. Think “smooth, efficient, fast.” Say it again: “Smooth, efficient, fast.”

Skin Cancer

Women between the ages of 25 and 29 get melanomas more than any other cancer. But most of them neglect the top stay-safe strategy: a monthly skin exam -- yes, even in the winter. Skin cancer can surface throughout the year -- in fact, the sun you got last summer may be the mole you see right now. Look for any change in the shape, size, or color of moles, and watch out for ones that bleed or have a crusty texture. See a dermatologist once every two years for a professional skin check -- or make an annual visit if skin cancer runs in your family.

The Endothelin Axis

The endothelin axis, which comprises endothelins and their receptors, is thought to have a role in the pathophysiology of tumors, including prostate, ovarian, colon, lung, breast, and kidney tumors.

Endothelins are peptides that exert their effects by binding via two G-protein coupled receptors, endothelin receptor A and B (ET-A and ET-B). ET-A and ET-B appear to promote tumor progression by several mechanisms, including cell proliferation, inhibition of apoptosis, angiogenesis, matrix remodeling, and bone deposition in skeletal metastases through activation of osteoblasts.

Activation of ET-A by endothelin-1 promotes tumor growth and progression by inhibiting apoptosis, synergizing with other growth factors to cause cell proliferation, and by stimulating the production of the key angiogenic factor vedge-F in response to hypoxia. ET-A activation also induces matrix-degrading enzymes, such as matrix metalloproteinases and urokinase plasminogen activator, which have important roles in tissue remodeling and tumor metastasis.

In neuronal cells, ET-1/ET-A binding is involved in nociceptive effects associated with cancer bone metastasis and remodeling, and thus may be associated with the bone pain in patients with bone metastasis. In contrast, activation of ET-B by ET-1 promotes vasodilation and induces apoptosis in human cancer cells.

The Vagus Nerve

The vagus nerve represents the nerve of the fourth and subsequent branchial arches. Caudally from the ganglion inferius, it descends along the internal carotid artery and the common carotid artery and arrives in the mediastinum via the superior thoracic aperture. The right nerve passes over the subclavian artery, and the left over the aortic arch and behind the root of the lungs. From that point on, both nerves are in close contact with the esophagus, forming the esophageal plexus. Terminal branches pass with the esophagus into the abdominal cavity via the diaphragmatic esophageal hiatus.

Vitamins

Vitamins are molecules that are essential for normal body functioning. They make possible the processes in the body that digest, absorb, and use nutrients. There are 15 vitamins, most of which cannot be made by the body and must be supplied in the diet. Vitamins are needed in very small amounts by the body, but when they are not provided, deficiency diseases may occur. These diseases are relatively rare in Western countries, but some are still common in less wealthy parts of the world. The vitamins can be divided into two groups. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble vitamins. Vitamin C...ascorbic acid, and the B-group vitamins, B1...thiamine, B2... riboflavin, B3...niacin, B6, B12, folacin, pantothenic acid and biotin, are water-soluble.
