The stem cell saga seems to be popularized at this point in time - with testimonials from prominent people admitting on TV and online news portals that they've gone through the process for various reasons and quite satisfied with the results. Stem cells are actually from the body's master cells that are extracted and processed for their curing capabilities that are found to be effective even in treating several chronic diseases. These cells can be found in some adult cells particularly from embryos and amniotic fluid. Adult stem cells are more flexible to be processed to create similar type of embryonic cells. Body tissues have rare substance cells but they normally generate new essential cells. The newly formed cells split into stem cells called self-renewed cells and specialized cells. Specialized cells are compatible with the cells in the brain, heart, blood and bone. They are capable of repairing damaged tissues and impaired body organs when infused. The following a...

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...

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...

Spouses of heart attack victims have an increased risk of depression and anxiety, even if their partner survives, Danish research suggests. The study found that in the year after losing a spouse to a heart attack, partners were three times more likely to start taking anti-depressants. Even if their partner survived, the use of anti-depressants still increased by 17%, compared with the year before. The use of anxiety drugs also went up, the European Heart Journal reports. There are about 340 heart attacks in the UK every day - approximately 13% are fatal. Care needed Maureen Talbot, senior cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said: "A heart attack can impact the whole family, and this study emphasises the importance of caring for the partners of heart attack sufferers. "We know that people can feel anxious or helpless when a loved one has a heart attack. It is essential they receive the emotional and practical support they need during this often traumati...
