Gout is more common in men, women are exposed to the disease after menopause. Gout is caused by deposits of urate crystals in the joints - uric acid - which leads to the development of inflammation and the appearance of severe pain. Urate crystals are formed when the level of uric acid in the blood. Increased levels of uric acid may be associated with an increase in its production in the body or in violation of excretion by the kidneys. The essence of the study The study involved 633 patients suffering from gout. The average age of the patients was 54 years, most of them were men. Follow up of...

Breast milk may spread viruses that cause breast cancer

Image
Breast milk and HPV We all know that faulty genetics is partially responsible for breast cancer in a family. But faulty genetics is not the sole risk factor for breast cancer that spreads from a mother to her daughter(s). Studies suggest that viruses that cause or increase risk of breast cancer can spread from one generation to another through breast milk . Dr. W.K. Glenn and colleagues published a study in BMC Research Notes that had found high risk human papillomavirus and Epstein Barr virus in human breast milk and babies drinking the virus-loaded milk may contract the cancer-causing viruses. The authors reported that multiple viruses including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Epstein Barr virus (EBV) and mouse mammary tumour virus have already been identified in human milk and high risk human papillomavirus (HPV) sequences have already been identified in breast cancer tissue. Apparently, baby girls who drink milk from their infected mothers may get infected with t...

Skin cancer vs vitamin D

Image
REMEMBER when we used to lie out in the sun for hours covered in coconut oil? If you can, you're pre-skin cancer warnings now appear regularly on our TV and billboards. Slip, slop, slap is the message we've being given. But, with vitamin D deficiency more common, many people are also wondering if the sun protection message is affecting their health in other ways. The sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation is both the major cause of skin cancer and the best source of vitamin D, according to the Cancer Council Australia. "We need to balance the risk of skin cancer from too much sun exposure with maintaining adequate vitamin D levels," it says. "Sensible sun protection does not put people at risk of vitamin D deficiency." Why we need vitamin D and how we get it Vitamin D keeps bones and muscles strong, as well as keep our immune system robust. Low blood levels of the vitamin have been associated increased risk of cardiovascular disease, cognit...

Stop Taking Fish Oil Supplements Fish oil appears to offer no heart benefits

Image
If this week's headlines have you thinking you can stop taking your fish oil supplements , keep reading. The headlines and news coverage of the study they were based on do not tell the whole story. But as I've said before, it is never a good idea to make a dietary change based on a single news report unless it's for a food recall, and here's why. The research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association investigated whether people taking fish oil capsules had less risk of heart disease and death than those who did not. While the headlines said they did not, several factors limited the findings. The biggest one being that the subjects were not a healthy population, but people who had already suffered heart attacks and strokes. Since most people with a history of cardiovascular disease are taking multiple medications, it simply may not have been possible to tell what impact their fish oil supplements were having on lowering their risk factors . Key...

Smoking and Drinking People who smoke or drink heavily may develop pancreatic cancer

Image
At an earlier age than folks who avoid those habits, a new study suggests. It's long been known that smoking is a risk factor for developing pancreatic cancer - a disease that is rarely caught early and has a grim prognosis. Only about five of every 100 people diagnosed with the cancer are still alive five years later. The evidence on heavy drinking has been more mixed, but some studies have suggested it's also a risk factor. Now, the new results show the disease may strike smokers and drinkers earlier in life. "If you do have these habits, and you're going to develop pancreatic cancer, the age of presentation may be younger," said lead researcher Dr. Michelle A. Anderson, of the University of Michigan Health System in Ann Arbor. Her team also found that the effect disappeared for former smokers or drinkers if they had quit 10 years or more before being diagnosed. On average, the risk of developing pancreatic cancer in your lifetime is about one...

Syphilis epidemic rising in the Canada and U.S.

Image
The resurgence of syphilis has risen dramatically over the past 20 years in the United States and Canada --- from 177 cases in 1993 to 1,750 cases in 2010. It is temporarily shutting down the porn industry in Southern California. Adult Production Health & Safety Services (APHSS) sounded the alarm about "recent unsubstantiated rumors of syphilis among adult performers." The usual annual testing for syphilis is in September, but because of the alarm the agency opened up their semi-annual syphilis testing immediately. Other sexually transmitted diseases, such as gonorrhea and chlamydia, are also on the rise. According to Huffington Post, " Syphilis infection rates jumped by 18 percent from 2010 to 2011, and there was also a five percent increase in chlamydia and 1.5 percent increase in gonorrhea cases." And truthfully, the syphilis outbreak cluster among California porn performs is not surprising because of their business. But sexually transmitted diseases ar...

High rates of tuberculosis, HIV and hepatitis B

Image
High rates of tuberculosis, HIV and hepatitis B are found in migrants coming to live as long-term residents in Britain, according to a report. Three-quarters of tuberculosis cases reported in Britain last year were born abroad, with many diagnosed two or more years after their arrival. Almost two-thirds of newly diagnosed cases of HIV and 80 per cent of hepatitis B infected blood donors in 2010 were born abroad. The Health Protection Agency (HPA) report says 12 per cent of people living in Britain in 2010 were born abroad - up from 8 per cent in 2001. 'A small proportion of the non-UK born residents bear the greatest burden of infectious disease reported in the UK,' it says. The report found that half of migrants with newly diagnosed HIV had probably become infected in Britain. Migrants going back to visit family and friends are the 'main risk group' for infections such as malaria and enteric fever diagnosed in Britain, it reports. Almost two-thirds of malar...

Mesothelioma - Some Risk Factors

Image
Mesothelioma is a deadly lung cancer that is most frequently caused by asbestos exposure. It can manifest in the lungs, the lining of the abdomen and the pericardium. It is estimated that almost 80% of all diagnoses are made because of exposure to asbestos. Although mesothelioma is directly linked to asbestos exposure but there are some other risk factors that can be a cause of mesothelioma. Workplace Exposure One of the major risk factor for developing mesothelioma is asbestos exposure at work. Occupations such as mining, insulation manufacturers, shipbuilding, pipefitters, railroad workers and those who are in construction are at high risk. Because of its insulating and heat-resistant nature, asbestos was once commonly used in insulation, flooring, cement and many other common products. Individuals who had prolonged exposure to asbestos fibers are at a greater risk. Non-Occupational Risks Families of those who are exposed to airborne asbestos particles as well as those who live...
