Scientists believe that more common forms of disease may be the result of a combination of more subtle genetic mutations that act together. Now researchers have used technological advances to prove that three subtle genetic variants inherited within a family worked together to cause heart disease in multiple siblings at a very young age. from https://healthnews010.tumblr.com/post/185263948128 from https://johnher1.blogspot.com/2019/05/combination-of-three-gene-mutations.html

An international team of researchers combined a calorie-restricted diet high in fat and low in carbohydrates with a tumor-inhibiting antibiotic and found the combination destroys cancer stem cells and mesenchymal cells, the two major cells found in glioblastoma, a fast-moving brain cancer that resists traditional treatment protocols. from https://healthnews010.tumblr.com/post/185263948303 from https://johnher1.blogspot.com/2019/05/cancer-fighting-combination-targets.html Actinic keratoses are small, red, scaly spots that can feel like dry, sandpapery skin. They are a direct result of ultraviolet radiation, which is why they most commonly occur in sun-exposed areas, such as the face, forearms, and hands. Why are actinic keratoses a concern? If left untreated, some actinic keratoses can develop into squamous cell skin cancers. Actinic keratosis can develop in almost 40% of white patients older than 50, making it the most common precancerous skin condition in this population. It is also one of the most common reasons for which people visit a dermatologist. Field-directed treatments for multiple actinic keratoses Cryotherapy, or the targeted use of liquid nitrogen, is commonly used to treat individual lesions. But what if there are many actinic keratoses from https://healthnews010.tumblr.com/post/185263947798 from https://johnher1.blogspot.com/2019/05/topical-treatment-helps-prevent-actinic.html The modified fungus produces spider toxin that rapidly kills mosquitoes, raising hopes for a new weapon to fight a disease that sickens millions.

They’re closer to animals than plants on the tree of life. They can break down plastic and petroleum. The single largest organism on the planet is an underground honey fungus spanning almost 3 miles in the the state of Oregon. They carry messages along their underground fungal networks using neurotransmitters that are very similar to the ones our brains use. They’re a kind of “forest internet” which plants and trees use to communicate with each other. They’re delicious. And, as it turns out, they possess and confer some very impressive health and therapeutic effects. Several years ago, I highlighted the culinary varieties and explored their considerable health benefits.

These flare-ups can usually be treated safely in the ED, but sometimes they can lead to serious complications. That’s why Dr. Ian Stiell created a decision tool to help doctors accurately predict which patients were the most likely to suffer complications. A recent study published in CMAJ found that The Ottawa COPD Risk Scale is better than current practice at predicting these short-term risks. Now this made-in-Ottawa tool can be used by doctors around the world to help choose the best care for their patients with COPD. “Before this tool, there was no way to know if a patient who came to the Emergency from https://healthnews010.tumblr.com/post/185263947538 from https://johnher1.blogspot.com/2019/05/copd-decision-tool-helps-keep-patients.html ( function() { var func = function() { var iframe = document.getElementById(‘wpcom-iframe-7a8bb521535f71b54c40d209de3b478a’) if ( iframe ) { iframe.onload = function() { iframe.contentWindow.postMessage( { 'msg_type’: 'poll_size’, 'frame_id’: 'wpcom-iframe-7a8bb521535f71b54c40d209de3b478a’ }, “https://embeds.kff.org” ); } } // Autosize iframe var funcSizeResponse = function( e ) { var origin = document.createElement( 'a’ ); origin.href = e.origin; // Verify message origin if ( 'embeds.kff.org’ !== origin.host ) return; // Verify message is in a format we expect if ( 'object’ !== typeof e.data || undefined === e.data.msg_type ) return; switch ( e.data.msg_type ) { case 'poll_size from https://healthnews010.tumblr.com/post/185263947723 from https://johnher1.blogspot.com/2019/05/podcast-khns-what-health-state-of.html Special section on adults ages 20 to 49 shows higher cancer incidence and mortality for women than men. from https://healthnews010.tumblr.com/post/185263947648 from https://johnher1.blogspot.com/2019/05/annual-report-to-nation-overall-cancer.html Clinical trial shows why energy drinks are bad for the heart Medical News TodayEnergy drinks are popular, especially among teenagers and young adults.

Juice is a drink made from the extraction or pressing of the natural liquid contained in fruit and vegetables. It can also refer to liquids that are flavored with concentrate or other biological food sources, such as meat or seafood, such as clam juice. ArchivesNo Archives Categories |
