Teenagers Diagnosed With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
Some clan demand it "brain doping" or "meducation". Others label the problem "neuroenhancement". Whatever the term, the American Academy of Neurology has published a outlook paper criticizing the practice of prescribing "study drugs" to assistance memory and thinking abilities in healthy children and teens. The authors said physicians are prescribing drugs that are typically Euphemistic pre-owned for children and teenagers diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity jumble (ADHD) for students solely to improve their ability to ace a critical exam - such as the college acknowledging SAT - or to get better grades in school.
Dr William Graf, lead founder of the paper and a professor of pediatrics and neurology at Yale School of Medicine, emphasized that the statement doesn't suit to the appropriate diagnosis and treatment of ADHD. Rather, he is concerned about what he calls "neuroenhancement in the classroom". The incorrigible is similar to that caused by performance-boosting drugs that have been used in sports by such athletic luminaries as Lance Armstrong and Mark McGwire.
So "One is about enhancing muscles and the other is about enhancing brains". In children and teens, the use of drugs to correct collegiate performance raises issues including the possible long-term effect of medications on the developing brain, the distinction between normal and abnormal intellectual development, the confusion of whether it is ethical for parents to force their children to take drugs just to improve their academic performance, and the risks of overmedication and chemical dependency.
The lickety-split rising numbers of children and teens taking ADHD drugs calls acclaim to the problem. "The number of physician office visits for ADHD directorship and the number of prescriptions for stimulants and psychotropic medications for children and adolescents has increased 10-fold in the US over the carry on 20 years," he pointed out.

One Third Of All Strokes Have Caused High Blood Pressure
One Third Of All Strokes Have Caused High Blood Pressure.
A philanthropic or oecumenic study has found that 10 risk factors account for 90 percent of all the chance of stroke, with high blood pressure playing the most potent role. Of that list, five imperil factors usually related to lifestyle - high blood pressure, smoking, abdominal obesity, chamber and physical activity - are responsible for a jammed 80 percent of all stroke risk, according to the researchers. The findings come the INTERSTROKE study, a standardized case-control contemplate of 3000 people who had had strokes and an equal number of healthy individuals with no report of stroke from 22 countries. It was published online June 18 in The Lancet.
The examine - slated to be presented Friday at the World Congress on Cardiology in Beijing - reports that the 10 factors significantly associated with occurrence risk are high blood pressure, smoking, carnal activity, waist-to-hip ratio (abdominal obesity), diet, blood lipid (fat) levels, diabetes, John Barleycorn intake, stress and depression, and heart disorders. Across the board, excited blood pressure was the most important factor, accounting for one-third of all stroke risk.
And "It's significant that most of the risk factors associated with stroke are modifiable," said Dr Martin J O'Donnell, an associate professor of medicine at McMaster University in Canada, who helped lead the study. "If they are controlled, it could have a substantial impact on the incidence of stroke".
Controlling blood pressure is important because it plays a notable role in both forms of stroke: ischemic, the most common form (caused by blockage of a sense blood vessel), and hemorrhagic or bleeding stroke, in which a blood vessel in the brain bursts. In contrast, levels of blood lipids such as cholesterol were eminent in the risk of ischemic stroke, but not hemorrhagic stroke.
So "The most consequential thing about hypertension is its controllability," O'Donnell said. "Blood urging is easily measured, and there are lots of treatments". Lifestyle measures to control blood pressure number reduction of salt intake and increasing physical activity. He added that the other risk factors - smoking, abdominal obesity, intake and physical activity - in the top five contributors to bit risk were modifiable as well.

Promising Method For Early Diagnosis Of Cancer
Promising Method For Early Diagnosis Of Cancer.
A collaboration of US scientists and own companies are looking into a check-up that could find even one stray cancer apartment among the billions of cells that circulate in the human bloodstream. The hope is that one day such a test, given soon after a remedying is started, could indicate whether the therapy is working or not. It might even indicate beforehand which care would be most effective. The test relies on circulating tumor cells (CTCs) - cancer cells that have disinterested from the main tumor and are traveling to other parts of the body.
In 2007, researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital, developed a "microfluidic chip," called CellSearch, which could reckon the number of diverge cancer cells, but that test didn't allow scientists to trap whole cells and analyze them. But on Monday, Mass General announced an settlement with Veridex LLC, put of Johnson & Johnson, to study a newer version of the test.
According to the Associated Press, the updated trial requires only a couple of teaspoons of blood. The microchip is dotted with tens of thousands of little posts covered with antibodies designed to stick to tumor cells. As blood passes over the chip, tumor cells break from the pack and adhere to the posts.

The Putting Too Much Salt In Food Is Typical Of Most Americans
The Putting Too Much Salt In Food Is Typical Of Most Americans.
Ninety percent of Americans are eating more brackish than they should, a redesigned sway report reveals. In fact, salt is so pervasive in the food supply it's finical for most people to consume less. Too much salt can increase your blood pressure, which is noteworthy risk factor for heart disease and stroke. "Nine in 10 American adults deplete more salt than is recommended," said report co-author Dr Elena V Kuklina, an epidemiologist in the Division of Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention at the US Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention.
Kuklina eminent that most of the punch Americans consume comes from processed foods, not from the salt shaker on the table. You can button the salt in the shaker, but not the sodium added to processed foods. "The foods we have a bite most, grains and meats, contain the most sodium". These foods may not even taste salty.
Grains contain highly processed foods high in sodium such as grain-based frozen meals and soups and breads. The number of salt from meats was higher than expected, since the category included luncheon meats and sausages, according to the CDC report.
Because taste is so ubiquitous, it is almost impossible for individuals to control. It will categorically take a large public health effort to get food manufacturers and restaurants to depreciate the amount of salt used in foods they make.
This is a public health problem that will take years to solve. "It's not customary to happen tomorrow. The American food supply is, in a word, salty," agreed Dr David Katz, gaffer of the Prevention Research Center at Yale University School of Medicine. "Roughly 80 percent of the sodium we obsess comes not from our own sailor shakers, but from additions made by the food industry. The result of that is an average remaining of daily sodium intake measured in hundreds and hundreds of milligrams, and an annual excess of deaths from marrow disease and stroke exceeding 100000".
And "As indicated in a recent IOM Institute of Medicine report, the best conclusion to this problem is to dial down the sodium levels in processed foods. Taste buds acclimate very readily. If sodium levels slowly come down, we will unambiguously be taught to prefer less salty food. That process, in the other direction, has contributed to our current problem. We can reverse-engineer the usual preference for excessive salt".

The Impact Of Mobile Phones On Children In The Womb Leads To Behavior Problems
The Impact Of Mobile Phones On Children In The Womb Leads To Behavior Problems.
Children exposed to chamber phones in the womb and after delivery had a higher peril of behavior problems by their seventh birthday, possibly related to the electromagnetic fields emitted by the devices, a remodelled study of nearly 29000 children suggests. The findings replicate those of a 2008 swotting of 13000 children conducted by the same US researchers. And while the earlier mug up did not factor in some potentially important variables that could have affected its results, this new one included them, said first author Leeka Kheifets, an epidemiologist at the School of Public Health at the University of California at Los Angeles.
And "These unknown results back the previous research and reduce the strong that this could be a chance finding". She stressed that the findings suggest, but do not prove, a connection between cell phone unveiling and later behavior problems in kids. The study was published online Dec 6, 2010 in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.
In the study, Kheifets and her colleagues wrote that further studies are needed to "replicate or refute" their findings. "Although it is untimely to of these results as causal," they concluded, "we are worried that early exposure to cell phones could carry a risk, which, if real, would be of manifest health concern given the widespread use of the technology". The researchers used information from 28,745 children enrolled in the Danish National Birth Cohort (DNBC), which follows the fettle of 100000 Danish children born between 1996 and 2002, as well as the health of their mothers.
Almost half the children had no conversancy to cell phones at all, providing a good comparison group. The matter included a questionnaire mothers completed when their children turned seven, which asked about family lifestyle, infancy diseases, and cell phone use by children, among other health-related questions. The questionnaire included a standardized analysis designed to identify emotional or behavior problems, inattention or hyperactivity, or problems with other children.
Based on their scores, the children in the examine were classified as normal, borderline, or abnormal for behavior. After analyzing the data, the researchers found that 18 percent of the children were exposed to stall phones before and after birth, up from 10 percent in the 2008 study, and 35 percent of seven-year-olds were using a cubicle phone, up from 30,5 percent in 2008.
Virtually none of the children in either learn used a cell phone for more than an hour a week. The side then compared children's cell-phone exposure both in utero and after birth adjusting for prematurity and origin weight; both parents' childhood history of emotional problems or problems with attention or learning; a mother's use of tobacco, alcohol, or drugs during pregnancy; breastfeeding for the before six months of life; and hours mothers burnt- with her child each day.

Losing Excess Weight May Help Middle-Aged Women To Reduce The Unpleasant Hot Flashes Accompanying Menopause
Losing Excess Weight May Help Middle-Aged Women To Reduce The Unpleasant Hot Flashes Accompanying Menopause.
Weight squandering might relief middle-aged women who are overweight or stout reduce bothersome hot flashes accompanying menopause, according to a redesigned study. "We've known for some time that obesity affects hot flashes, but we didn't distinguish if losing weight would have any effect," said Dr Alison Huang, the study's author. "Now there is honourableness evidence losing weight can reduce hot flashes".
Study participants were part of an concentrated lifestyle-intervention program designed to help them lose between 7 percent and 9 percent of their weight. Huang, helpmate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of California, San Francisco, said the findings could contribute women with another reason to take control of their weight. "The message here is that there is something you can do about it (hot flashes)".
About one third of women go through hot flashes for five years or more last menopause, "disrupting sleep, interfering with work and leisure activities, and exacerbating anxiety and depression," according to the study. The women in the over group met with experts in nutrition, exercise and behavior weekly for an hour and were encouraged to discharge at least 200 minutes a week and reduce caloric intake to 1200-1500 calories per day. They also got advise planning menus and choosing what kinds of foods to eat.
Women in a supervise group received monthly group education classes for the initial four months. Participants, including those in the control group, were asked to respond to a survey at the beginning of the mug up and six months later to describe how bothersome hot flashes were for them in the past month on a five-point scutum with answers ranging from "not at all" to "extremely".
They were also asked about their daily exercise, caloric intake, and batty and physical functioning using instruments widely accepted in the medical field, said Huang. No correlation was found between any of these and a reduction in air blather flashes, but "reduction in weight, body mass measure (BMI), and abdominal circumference were each associated with improvements" in reducing hot flashes, according to the study, published in the July 12 broadcasting of Archives of Internal Medicine.

Get Health Insurance Through The Internet
Get Health Insurance Through The Internet.
Americans troublesome to pay off health insurance through the federal government's online health care exchange are having an easier opportunity navigating the initially dysfunctional system, consumers and specialists say. Glitches that stymied visitors to the online market for weeks after its Oct 1, 2013 launch have been subdued, allowing more consumers to over again information on available insurance plans or select a plan. More than 500000 citizenry last week created accounts on the website, and more than 110000 selected plans, according to a record Tuesday in The New York Times.
The Obama administration had set a deadline of Nov 30, 2013 to influence an embarrassing array of hardware and software problems that hampered enforcement of the 2010 Affordable Care Act. The action requires that most Americans have health insurance in apartment by Jan 1, 2014, or pay federal tax penalties. "I'm 80 percent satisfied," Karen Egozi, supervisor executive of the Epilepsy Foundation of Florida, told the Times.
And "I judge it will be great when it's 100 percent". Egozi supervises a team of 45 navigators who alleviate consumers get insurance through the HealthCare dot gov system. With the system functioning better, the sway expects to receive a crush of applications before Dec 23, 2013 the deadline for consumers buying hermit-like insurance to get Jan 1, 2014 coverage. But even as the computer practice becomes more user-friendly, some consumers are finding other unanticipated obstacles in their quest for health insurance: a furnishing that they provide proof of identity and citizenship, and a roughly week-long wait for a determination on Medicaid eligibility.
Typically, settle cannot receive tax credits intended to help pay for insurance premiums if they are single for other coverage from Medicaid or Medicare. Despite these holdups, representatives of the US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the medium responsible for operating HealthCare dot gov, said the method is functioning well for most users. "We've acknowledged that there are some consumers who may be better served through in-person assistance or call centers," spokesman Aaron Albright told the Times.

Teens Need Regularly Make Medical Examination
Teens Need Regularly Make Medical Examination.
Doctors often shirk to have a examination with their teen patients about sexuality issues during their annual physical, a new study reveals. This results in missed opportunities to apprise and counsel young people about ways to help impede sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted teen pregnancies, the researchers suggested. The study, published Dec 30, 2013 in JAMA Pediatrics, confused 253 teens and 49 doctors from 11 clinics from the Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina area.
One-third of these teens did not query questions about congress or discuss their sexual activity, sexuality, dating or sexual identity during their yearly check-ups, the work found. The researchers, led by Stewart Alexander of the Duke University Medical Center, recorded conversations between the teens and their doctor, and analyzed how much span was spent talking about sex. They also considered the involvement of teens in these discussions.

Flu In 2013 Has Killed More Than 100 Children In The USA
Flu In 2013 Has Killed More Than 100 Children In The USA.
This on flu mellow started earlier, peaked earlier and led to more full-grown hospitalizations and child deaths than most flu seasons, US condition officials reported June 2013. At least 149 children died, compared to the usual cover of 34 to 123, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The prevailing strain of flu circulating in 2012-13 - H3N2 - made the illness deadlier for children, explained Lynnette Brammer, an epidemiologist with the CDC. "With children H3 viruses can be severe, but there was also a lot of influenza B viruses circulating - and for kids they can be bad, too.
Dr Marc Siegel, an ally professor of medicament at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City, added that H3N2 is beyond transmitted from mortal to person and has a high rate of complications, which accounts for the increased hospitalizations. "This is the description of flu that enables other infections like pneumonia. Really what mortals need to know is that flu isn't the problem. The flu's form on the immune system and fatigue is the problem".
The flu season started in September, which is unusually early, and peaked at the end of December, which is also unusual. Flu condition typically begins in December and peaks in late January or February. Texas, New York and Florida had the most reported pediatric deaths. Except for the 2009-10 H1N1 flu pandemic, which killed at least 348 children, the done flu mature was the deadliest since the CDC began collecting observations on child flu deaths, according to the report, published in the June 14 end of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
Older adults were targeted heavily by the 2012-13 flu. Those ancient 65 and older accounted for more than half of all reported flu-associated hospitalizations in the 2012-13 flu ripen - the most since the CDC started collecting data on flu hospitalizations in 2005-06, the intervention reported. In addition, more Americans saw a doctor for flu than in new flu seasons, the CDC noted.

Painkillers Tablets To Prevent Cancer
Painkillers Tablets To Prevent Cancer.
The remedy painkiller Celebrex might helper prevent non-melanoma skin cancers, a small study suggests. But one pro was quick to note that the drug, which is most commonly used to counter the pain of arthritis, has been linked in some studies to an enhancement in the risk for cardiovascular problems. So it isn't yet clear that Celebrex (celecoxib) is an ideal hand-picked to prevent cancers that could be treated by other means. "We have a lot of different treatments for non-melanoma skin cancers," notable Dr Doris Day, a dermatologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. "I would want more message regarding the mechanism of action of Celebrex, because of the other risks".
The report, funded by the US National Cancer Institute and Pfizer, the maker of Celebrex, is published in the Nov 29, 2010 online version and the Dec 15, 2010 phrasing issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Non-melanoma crust cancers are common, comprising "the most prevalent malignancies in the United States with an amount equivalent to all other cancers combined," according to study lead author Dr Craig A Elmets, a professor of dermatology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. These tumors comprise basal stall and squamous cell carcinomas of the skin, which are typically linked to overexposure to UV rays from the Sunna or indoor tanning booths.
Currently, there are no US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved agents for the fending of non-melanoma skin cancers, although sunscreens are widely recommended for this purpose. "However, even sunscreens are only modestly operative at preventing non-melanoma skin cancers. The elucidation that celecoxib can prevent these common malignancies heralds an entirely new approach for the prevention of these normal malignancies".

But one pro was quick to note that the drug, which is most commonly used to counter the pain of arthritis, has been linked in some studies to an enhancement in the risk for cardiovascular problems. So it isn't yet clear that Celebrex (celecoxib) is an ideal hand-picked to prevent cancers that could be treated by other means. "We have a lot of different treatments for non-melanoma skin cancers," notable Dr Doris Day, a dermatologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. "I would want more message regarding the mechanism of action of Celebrex, because of the other risks".
The report, funded by the US National Cancer Institute and Pfizer, the maker of Celebrex, is published in the Nov 29, 2010 online version and the Dec 15, 2010 phrasing issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Non-melanoma crust cancers are common, comprising "the most prevalent malignancies in the United States with an amount equivalent to all other cancers combined," according to study lead author Dr Craig A Elmets, a professor of dermatology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. These tumors comprise basal stall and squamous cell carcinomas of the skin, which are typically linked to overexposure to UV rays from the Sunna or indoor tanning booths.
Currently, there are no US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved agents for the fending of non-melanoma skin cancers, although sunscreens are widely recommended for this purpose. "However, even sunscreens are only modestly operative at preventing non-melanoma skin cancers. The elucidation that celecoxib can prevent these common malignancies heralds an entirely new approach for the prevention of these normal malignancies".
