Several years ago, scientists have published data that eating broccoli and planteyna can be an effective tool against Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. However, it turns out, is not any kind of fiber is equally useful in these diseases. In 2010, a study was published showing the role of broccoli and planteyna in Crohn's disease. Fiber stopped moving Escherichia coli, which causes the symptoms of Crohn's disease, the cells. When the researchers tested the effects of apples and leeks effect on bacteria was found that demanded an explanation, why did not any fiber helps in Crohn's disease. Scientists have conducted laboratory research on cell cultures (number of broccoli or planteyna was 5 mg / ml). Moving bacteria was stopped at 45-82%. After that, they confirmed their data on tissue samples taken from patients with Crohn's disease during surgery. Another interesting finding of the study was that the emulsifier polysorbate 60 and 80 increased the penetra...

Sea water can be a tool for the prevention of ulcers and stomach cancer. This is indicated by the results of laboratory studies that will test on humans. The primary cause of stomach ulcers is a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori . Earlier, Japanese scientists have found that taken from a depth of over 200 meters and purified from the salt sea water, which watered laboratory rodents, reduced the number of bacteria. According to scientists, the toxic effect of this water due to the high content of calcium, potassium and magnesium. To participate in the new experiment, Taiwanese researchers selected 60 patients. Half of them will drink 200 ml of the prepared salt water several times a day, and the second - a conventional water. If the results of the experiment will be conclusive, the seawater can be used in the prevention of diseases caused by Helicobacter pylori .

Cystic Fibrosis of CF in short is a genetic disorder which gets passed down through recessive genes and has adverse effects on the pulmonary system of the affected. The disease's characteristics come from a defective gene which causes the formation of thick mucus in the lungs which overtime causes a number of respiratory problems alongside a weakened immune system which paired with the mucus buildup opens the lungs and digestive tract to bacterial infections. The disease is currently incurable because of its unique properties although some treatments to prolong and improve the lives of the affected exist. Patients require regular observation and tests because of the inevitable infections present so medics can give accurate diagnosis. Treating CF is a battle on many fronts because of the weakened immune systems of the affected. It includes antibiotic treatments in an attempt to slow or prevent the progression of the bacterial infections which can be done orally or intravenously ...

Staff are struggling to determine how best to control the mosquitoes carrying it. The Alachua County Health Department has seen far higher numbers of culex nigripalpus mosquitoes West Nile's primary carrier this year than in the past five, said health department administrator Paul Myers. With several flocks of sentinel chickens and a horse testing positive for West Nile virus, the county was placed under a mosquito-borne illness advisory on Sept. 27. The virus was discovered in the area on Sept. 20. The county also has found non-human cases of eastern equine encephalitis, which is transmitted to people less than West Nile virus but is more lethal. If virus transmission intensifies or human cases are recorded, the county will be given alert status, Myers said at a Tuesday County Commission meeting. The county health department's surveillance system for mosquito-borne illnesses includes regular testing of sentinel chickens, which are often the first to show the presen...

Nosing past heart disease in 2009, researchers at the American Cancer Society reported Monday. For most demographic groups and for the country as a whole heart disease is the top killer, claiming a total of 599,413 American lives in 2009, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That same year, the most recent year for which statistics are available, 567,628 Americans died of cancer. Among Latinos that year, the rankings were reversed: 29,935 died of cancer and 29,611 of heart disease, according to a study in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians. The change may be due to demographics, said Rebecca Siegel, an epidemiologist at the American Cancer Society in Atlanta and lead author of the study. The average age of Latinos in the United States is 27 and of non-Hispanic whites is 42. In the overall population, cancer is the leading cause of death in people under 85 years of age. "This is primarily driven by the young age distribution," Siegel sai...

A) Vitamins: Pimples have been known to positively react to the addition of niacin (100 mg; three times per day), and vitamin A to a diet. 400 mg of vitamin E taken once per day also works wonders. B) Fenugreek: A useful paste can be created from the leaves of this vegetable, which is then applied to the face before you retire each night. At the start of the morning, the paste should be washed off using warm water. Pimples, especially blackheads are treated with this home remedy. C) Orange Peel: When orange peels are pounded and combined with water, an effective home treatment for pimples is created. Apply to affected areas and watch the results. D) Lemon: Apply lemon juice to pimples to reduce their size and intensity. E) Garlic: If you rub raw garlic on problem areas several times a day, you can clear up skin. You may also eat three seeds of raw garlic once daily for a month to see results. The garlic seeds purify the blood, which aids in keeping pimples at bay. F) Cor...

If you're reading this at work, brace yourself. A new study shows that typical offices have hundreds of types of bacteria in them, and men's offices have the most. Researchers report finding more than 500 different types of bacteria on common surfaces in offices in three major U.S. cities. And, perhaps less surprisingly to some people, they found that men's offices are more contaminated than women's. "Humans are spending an increasing amount of time indoors, yet we know little about the diversity of bacteria and viruses where we live, work, and play," says lead researcher Scott Kelley, PhD. The San Diego State University biologist and his team swabbed five common office surfaces -- chairs, phones, desks, computer mice, and keyboards -- in 90 different offices, 30 each in San Francisco, New York, and Tucson. The research team, which was partially funded by the Clorox Corporation, found bacteria on nearly every surface they tested. Most of it came from t...

You'd probably rather not think about it, but there are hundreds of species of bacteria on your desk, according researchers who sampled offices in three U.S. cities. The study identified at least 500 species of bacteria in the offices, and found that men's offices tended to be germier than women's. And although offices in New York City and San Francisco had similar types of bacteria, those in the Golden State were less contaminated than those in the Big Apple, the researchers said. But don't go running for the hand sanitizer just yet although the findings have an "ick" factor, bacteria in your office are not necessarily something to worry about, the researchers said. After all, many bacteria are harmless, and actually helpmaintain human health. "You shouldn't be worried in your own office it's you; it's just a reflection of who you are," said study researcher Scott Kelley, an associate professor of biology at San Diego State Unive...
