But more often it is diagnosed in children. And boys disease recorded in 2 times more often than girls. However, by 20-30 years in the sex ratio in this disease aligned "- says allergist. Occurrence of asthma to such factors as genetic predisposition, exposure to different allergens, viral and bacterial infections, adverse environment, poor nutrition, bad habits. All this has a negative effect on the immune system and the body becomes helpless against various diseases, including asthma before. Physicians are advised to pay attention to th...

Adipose tissue surrounding the prostate gland of men with obesity, creates favorable conditions for the progression of prostate cancer. What is the prostate gland The prostate gland - is musculo-glandular organ located below the bladder and surrounding the initial portion of the urethra. The main function of the prostate is to produce secretions, which is part of semen. Ducts of the prostate glands open into the urethra. Prostate cancer In the early stages of prostate cancer does not manifest itself. Complaints are associated with tumor spread and metastasis. At the stage the only manifestation of the lack of symptoms, allowing the disease to suspect, is to increase blood levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA). As prevention of prostate cancer for all men should conduct an annual PSA test beginning at age 45. By increasing the size of the tumor shows the following symptoms: Frequent urination Difficulty urinating Urinary incontinence urge to urinate. The essence of ...

One of the most common associations is oral health and heart health, with some studies suggesting that poor oral health increases the risk of heart disease. Experts believe that oral health has a significant bearing on general health because bacteria from the mouth can travel to other parts o...

From the dawn of time, the human population has periodically been decimated by outbreaks of serious disease. In the 1600s, bubonic plague was rife across Europe and millions perished from the disease. The influenza virus has also been a deadly killer over the centuries and even today, people still die from the more serious strains of the flu. But thankfully for mankind, many of the most serious diseases such as yellow fever, typhoid and diphtheria have been all but eradicated as a result of widespread vaccination programmes. Why Bother With Vaccinations? Even though serious diseases such as measles and mumps have mostly been vanquished in modern society, they haven't disappeared completely, which is why vaccination programmes are just as vital today as they were a few decades ago. Without protection from vaccinations, you and your family are at risk of serious disease or even death. Vaccinations Are Safe Millions of people are vaccinated every year and even though there a...

It's amazing just how many different types of autoimmune diseases there are in the medical books. The conventional medical community claims they are unaware of the cause of the body suddenly turning on itself. Doctors who take a more natural approach believe otherwise. Here are the type 5 causes of autoimmune disease. 1. Poor Diet Poor diet is one of the leading causes of all disease, including autoimmune disease. The Standard American Diet is also responsible for the rising obesity rate, the epidemic of cancer, and the startling array of mental and emotional disorders millions of people suffer from. Fast food, processed food, microwavable meals, soda, candy, etc. offer little-to-no nutritional value and are chock full of chemicals, preservatives, additives, and synthetic sweeteners your body doesn't recognize. As long as you continue to ingest these foods, your immune system works overtime to fight them off and protect you. An overworked immune system eventually ex...

While scientists from Moscow State University named after Lomonosov studied the presence of nanotechnology in everyday life, researchers from the University of Melbourne in the state, investigated the effects of passive smoking on people. Despite the fact that the matter was in principle long understood, they were able to make the discovery. It turns out that passive smoking can cause the development of severe dementia. This study was the first that was able to point out the relationship between passive smoking and neurological diseases. Previously, passive smoking could cause the development of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, which include lung cancer and coronary heart disease. But until now, no one knew that passive smoking can cause dementia. Consider the matter lasted more than 11 years. during the survey polled more than 7,000 respondents, who were more than 60 years. teaching a group of volunteers involved in the survey on the subject of dementia in three time p...

With another name of intracranial growth, brain cancer truly includes the first growth originates from brain parenchyma and secondary brain cancer, the metastases from different components of body. Its symptoms vary as individual condition changes. What Cause Brain Cancer? 1. The radiation and electrical waves from portable and laptop will promote the canceration of cells. 2. The prevalence of brain cancer is expounded to the contact of insect powder, solvent, dyes and gas in keeping with studies. to boot, a pregnant girl takes alcohol or hair coloring before delivery would increase the danger for babies to develop metastatic tumor. 3.

narconon.ca By Roger Pahuriray There are a lot of people who are asking this same question about drugs: what happens next when a drug enters the body and makes its way to our brain? There have been recent studies about how the brain works, and the complex relationship between electrical and chemical activity, but we still have a long way to go. How Drugs Change Personality and Behavior Addictive drugs have the ability to activate the pleasure circuit of the brain known as the mesolimbic dopamine cortex. According to some health experts, drug addiction is a biological process which alters the way our brain's pleasure circuit functions. It is important to examine the effects of drugs on the brain's neurotransmission to understand how it works. All drugs have the capability to change the way our brain works. This is done by affecting chemical neurotransmission. Heroin and LSD for instance, can mimic a natural neurotransmitter's effects. PCP, on the other hand, can ...

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 ...

Rheumatoid arthritis takes a chronic form and it is known to make the person crippled while causing damage, injury, loss of motion to the joi...

U.S. researchers have found that cherries reduce the risk of gout attacks. What is gout Gout - a disease which is characterized by acute onset: severe pain in the joints , swelling, redness and increased temperature of the skin over them. As a rule, in the pathological process involves joint of the big toe, also can be affected by the ankle, wrist, knee joints and joints of the hand. 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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Tests commonly recommended to screen healthy women for ovarian cancer do more harm than good and should not be performed, a panel of medical experts said Monday. The screenings -- blood tests for a substance linked to cancer, and ultrasound scans to examine the ovaries -- do not lower the death rate from the disease, and they yield many false-positive results that lead to unnecessary operations with high complication rates, the panel said. "There is no existing method of screening for ovarian cancer that is effective in reducing deaths," said Dr. Virginia Moyer , chairwoman of the expert panel, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. "In fact, a high percentage of women who undergo screening experience false-positive test results and consequently may be subjected to unnecessary harms, such as major surgery." The advice against testing applies only to healthy women with an average risk of ovarian cancer, not to those with suspicious symptoms or those at h...

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...
