iPS cells

Monday, April 28th, 2008

The Japanese team, led by Shinya Yamanaka, demonstrated that with a little coaxing, the iPS cells, like embryonic stem cells, could transform themselves into different types of human tissue. First they manipulated a cluster to create nerve cells. Then they tried for heart cells. Just 12 days after mixing a sample of iPS cells with a cocktail of proteins in a petri dish, the scientists watched as clumps of newly formed cardiac cells started beating like a human heart. The iPS cells even have an advantage over embryonic: Since they’re derived from the patient’s own cells, there’s no risk of rejection. Brought by Health and Beauty

What are adrenal gland disorders?

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

Adrenal gland disorders occur when the adrenal glands don’t work properly. Sometimes, the cause is a problem in another gland that helps to regulate the adrenal gland. In other cases, the adrenal gland itself may have the problem. Some examples include:
Cushing’s Syndrome - Cushing’s syndrome happens when a person’s body is exposed to too much of the hormone cortisol. In this syndrome, a person’s body makes more cortisol than it needs. For example, adrenal tumours can cause the body to produce too much cortisol. In some cases, children are born with a form of adrenal hyperplasia that leads to Cushing syndrome. acquistare cialis Or, in some cases, certain medications can cause the body to make too much cortisol.
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia - Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a genetic disorder of adrenal gland deficiency. acquistare viagra In this disorder, the body doesn’t make enough of the hormone cortisol. The bodies of people with congenital adrenal hyperplasia may also have other hormone imbalances, such as not making enough aldosterone, but making too much androgen.
Pituitary tumours - The pituitary gland is located in the brain and helps to regulate the activity of most other glands in the body, including the adrenal glands. acquistare levitra In rare cases, benign (non-cancerous) tumours may grow on the pituitary gland, which may restrict the hormones it releases.

What is trichomoniasis and how do you get it?

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

Trichomoniasis , also called “trick”, is a sexually transmitted disease (STD). It is caused by a parasite that can be passed from one person to another. The parasite is sexually transmitted through penis-to-vagina intercourse or vulva-to-vulva contact with an infected partner. The vulva is the genital area outside the vagina. Women can get the disease from infected men or women. While trichomoniasis is usually passed sexually, it may be picked up from contact with damp or moist objects such as towels, wet clothing, or a toilet seat, if the genital area gets in contact with these damp or moist objects. Many women do not have any symptoms, but still have the STD. If women do have symptoms, they usually appear 5 to 28 days after exposure and can include:
* yellow, green, or gray vaginal discharge (often foamy) with a strong odor
* discomfort during sex and when urinating
* irritation and itching in the genital area
* lower abdominal pain in rare cases
Trichomoniasis can usually be cured with the prescription drug, metronidazole (also called Flagyl), or with a related drug, tinidazole. Topical medicines, or medicines applied to the skin, may be used in people who are allergic to metronidazole and tinidazole. acheter levitra The topical medicines are less effective and may not cure you. They might, however, ease the symptoms. acheter viagra All women and men diagnosed with trichomoniasis should be treated. acheter cialis Even without symptoms, it can be passed to others. Having trichomoniasis also increases a person’s chances of getting HIV. People being treated for trichomoniasis should avoid sex until they and their sex partners complete treatment and have no symptoms. Having trichomoniasis once does not protect a person from getting it again.

Acne prevention

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

Clean your skin gently with a mild soap or cleanser twice a day - once in the morning and once at night. You should also gently clean the skin after heavy exercise. Avoid strong soaps and rough scrub pads. Harsh scrubbing of the skin may make acne worse. Wash your entire face from under the jaw to the hairline and rinse thoroughly. Remove make-up gently with a mild soap and water. Ask your doctor before using an astringent. Wash your hair on a regular basis. If your hair is oily, you may want to wash it more often. Do not squeeze or pick at acne lesions. This can cause acne scars. Avoid getting sunburned. Many medicines used to treat acne can make you more prone to sunburn. Many people think that the sun helps acne, because the redness from sunburn may make acne lesions less visible. But, too much sun can also increase your risk of skin cancer and early aging of the skin. When you’re going to be outside, use sunscreen of at least SPF 15. Also, try to stay in the shade as much as you can. Choose make-up and hair care products that are “non-comedogenic” or “non-acnegenic.” These products have been made in a way that they don’t cause acne. You may also want to use products that are oil-free. kaufen levitra

WHAT IS PEYRONIE’S DISEASE?

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

Peyronie’s disease consists of hard, fibrous tissue, called plaques, developing within the penile shaft. The plaques are hard, thickened and stiff areas, actually a kind of internal scarring. In this fibroid tissue also calcium compounds can accumulate, making the plaques even harder. comprar viagra

The Peyronie’s disease is also called cavernositis, and also sometimes plastic induration. There is probably a chronic inflammation process that leads to this scarring.

The thickened area has less blood flow than normal penile tissue, and do not fill with blood and swell as the normal spongy areas in the inside of the penis. Therefore the penis swells more at the opposite side, and gets a curvature towards the side containing the plaques when erected. acquisto cialis

If the plaques are found at several places, more complex deformations will develop. The abnormal bending, twisting or swelling within the penis, often also lead to painful erections.

Any man from the age of 18 and upwards can develop Peyronie’s disease. The average age of men suffering from Peyronie`s disease is 50. kaufen viagra

Depression

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

Clinical depression affects about 8–17% of the population on at least one occasion in their lives, before the age of 40. In some countries, such as Australia, one in four women and one in six men will suffer from depression. In Canada, major depression affects approximately 1.35 million people, and in the USA approximately 14 million adults per year. An estimated 121 million people worldwide currently suffer from depression. People who have had one episode of depression may be more than normally likely to have more episodes in the future, so the first time a young person becomes depressed is important both as a personal and public health concern. About twice as many females as males report or receive treatment for clinical depression, though this imbalance is shrinking over the course of recent history; this difference seems to completely disappear after the age of 50–55. Clinical depression is currently the leading cause of disability in North America, and is expected to become the second leading cause of disability worldwide (after heart disease) by the year 2020, according to the World Health Organization. Recent studies suggest that the diagnostic criteria for depression are far too broad, resulting in diagnosis of clinical depression in people who are not truly clinically depressed and who have shown normal responses to negative events.
