How noise creates hearing problems

2010-08-23T11:25:00.000-07:00

How noise creates hearing problems: "Youth ushers in many privileges and the most priceless one is clear hearing. It is just sad that for those who turn 30, they begin to feel their hearing abilities fade. By age 65, one in six adults experiences severe hearing loss. A recent surge in the number of people with hearing problems results in an alarming statistics, the fact that 20 million Americans suffer from various forms of preventable hearing loss.

What then could be the reason behind the surge of hearing problems up to one third? Excessive noise is the most common culprit. But it would be good to know that not like nerve deafness, damage from noise is preventable. Train yourself to distinguish between just irritating sounds and noises that rob off hearing be it some parts of it or all of your hearing capability. More than just determining what kind of noise it is or how the distance to the racket, it is important to also consider the volume measured in decibels along with tracking the hours, days, months and years that a person is exposed to the noise." ...

High Blood Pressure - Are You At Risk?

2010-08-23T11:22:00.000-07:00

High Blood Pressure - Are You At Risk?: "When your heart pumps blood, pressure is exerted against the walls of the arteries, prompting the term “blood pressure'. While your heart is actively pumping blood, your blood pressure is at its highest, referred to as systolic pressure. When your heart is at rest - between beats - your blood pressure falls, this is diastolic pressure. These two numbers are used to determine your blood pressure with the systolic pressure being placed ahead of the diastolic pressure and written one above or before the other, such as 120/80 (normal). Both of these numbers are important. Any reading above 120/80 places the body at risk, the higher the pressure, the greater the risk."

TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING? ... Calcium Overload....

2010-08-13T09:11:00.000-07:00

Tim Russert's death two years ago, June 2008 at just 58 years of age, was deeply unsettling to many people who, like him, had been earnestly following their doctors advice on drugs, diet, nutrition and exercise in hopes of avoiding a heart attack.

Just this month, a major research report came out that chillingly echoed the autopsy results into Tim Russert's death.

Excess Calcium could be Killing You

What killed Mr. Russert was a "plaque" rupture. A fatty, pimple-like lesion of plaque composed of fats, cholesterol and CALCIUM, residing in a coronary artery. The lesion burst and as the body attempted to repair it, a blood clot formed which blocked circulation to part of his heart muscle, causing a heart attack.

Unfortunately heart attacks happen all the time in the United States, impacting 1.2 million American's each year, killing nearly one-half at of all sufferers.

In Mr. Russert's case, the heart attack led to a second catastrophe, an abnormal heart rhythm that caused cardiac arrest and quickly killed him. An electric shock from a defibrillator might have restarted his heart if it had been given promptly when he collapsed at his desk. But it was apparently, tragically delayed.

A new meta-analysis research study published in the British Medical Journal, last week proves that when calcium is taken alone, without it's "partner" biofactors, the calcium accumulates in your arteries, increasing your risk of heart attack!

A CT scan of Mr Russert's coronary arteries showed a dangerously high calcium score of 210, indicating artery disease. Healthy arteries do not have calcium deposits! Instead, the calcium is inside the bone marrow factory, where it should be, busy making strong bones, teeth, tendons, ligaments and muscles.

Major Study: 30% Greater Risk of Heart Attack

The new study, led by Professor Ian Reid at the University of Auckland, is a meta-analysis of 15 randomized trials on calcium supplements conducted in the last twenty years, with the aim to investigate the links between calcium supplementation and cardiovascular events.

From analyzing the data on 12,000 people involved in the 15 trials, the researchers found that calcium supplements actually increased the risk of myocardial infarctions (heart attacks) by 30 percent!

NEW SUPER-BUG SPREADING AROUND THE GLOBE...

2010-08-13T09:05:00.000-07:00

(Reuters) - A new superbug could spread around the world after reaching Britain from India -- in part because of medical tourism -- and scientists say there are almost no drugs to treat it.

Researchers said on Wednesday they had found a new gene called New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase, or NDM-1, in patients in South Asia and in Britain.

NDM-1 makes bacteria highly resistant to almost all antibiotics, including the most powerful class called carbapenems, and experts say there are no new drugs on the horizon to tackle it.

With international travel in search of cheaper healthcare increasing, particularly for procedures such as cosmetic surgery, Timothy Walsh, who led the study, said he feared the new superbug could soon spread across the globe.

"At a global level, this is a real concern," Walsh, from Britain's Cardiff University, said in telephone interview.

"Because of medical tourism and international travel in general, resistance to these types of bacteria has the potential to spread around the world very, very quickly. And there is nothing in the (drug development) pipeline to tackle it."

Almost as soon as the first antibiotic penicillin was introduced in the 1940s, bacteria began to develop resistance to its effects, prompting researchers to develop many new generations of antibiotics.

But their overuse and misuse have helped fuel the rise of drug-resistant "superbug" infections like methicillin-resistant Staphyloccus aureus (MRSA).

In a study published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases journal on Wednesday, Walsh's team found that NDM-1 is becoming more common in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan and is also being imported back to Britain in patients returning after treatment.

"India also provides cosmetic surgery for other Europeans and Americans, and it is likely NDM-1 will spread worldwide," the scientists wrote in the study.

"CINDERELLA" BUSINESS

For many years, antibiotic research has been a "Cinderella" sector of the pharmaceuticals industry, reflecting a mismatch between the scientific difficulty of finding treatments and the modest sales such products are likely to generate, since new drugs are typically saved only for the sickest patients.

But the increasing threat from superbugs is encouraging a rethink at the few large drugmakers still actively hunting for new antibiotics, including Pfizer, Merck, AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline and Novartis.

Walsh and his international team collected bacteria samples from hospital patients in two places in India, Chennai and Haryana, and from patients referred to Britain's national reference laboratory between 2007 and 2009.

They found 44 NDM-1-positive bacteria in Chennai, 26 in Haryana, 37 in Britain, and 73 in other sites in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan. Several of the British NDM-1 positive patients had recently traveled to India or Pakistan for hospital treatment, including cosmetic surgery, they said.

Most worryingly, NDM-1-producing bacteria are resistant to many antibiotics including carbapenems, the scientists said, a class of the drugs often reserved for emergency use and to treat infections caused by other multi-resistant bugs like MRSA and C-Difficile.

Anders Ekblom, global head of medicines development at AstraZeneca, whose Merrem antibiotic is the leading carbapenem, said he saw "great value" in investing in new antibiotics.

"We've long recognized the growing need for new antibiotics, he said. "Bacteria are continually developing resistance to our arsenal of antibiotics and NDM1 is just the latest example."

Experts commenting on Walsh's findings said it was important to be alert to the new bug and start screening for it early.

"If this emerging public health threat is ignored, sooner or later the medical community could be confronted with carbapenem-resistant (bacteria) that cause common infections, resulting in treatment failures with substantial increases in health-care costs," Johann Pitout from the University of Calgary in Canada wrote in a commentary in same journal.

Boosting Your Brain Power: "The aging process takes its toll not only on the surface of the body but also on the brain itself. It becomes noticeable that as the age of people increases, their memory or brain power decreases accordingly. The brain cells, also known as neurons, are the only type of cell in the body that cannot reproduce. Once damaged or upon reaching the optimal age, they cannot be replaced. Less neuron available leads to decrease in memory functions of the brain. People tend to forget things more easily and the speed of mind processing takes longer. The attention of the medical world has been focused mainly now on how to prevent the speedy death of brain cells and the improvement of brain power or memory." ...
