Treat Glaucoma Before It Is Too Late.
Alan Leighton discovered he had glaucoma when he noticed a gray extent of remark in his left eye. That was in 1992. "I think about I had it a long time before that, but I didn't know until then," said Leighton, 68, a corporate treasurer who lives in Indianapolis. "Glaucoma is as if that. It's sneaky".
Leighton made an engagement with his ophthalmologist to see what was wrong. "We went for a bunch of tests, and he unfaltering there was an issue with that eye, and that I had normal pressure glaucoma".
His response was unsentimental and pragmatic: His kids has a history of glaucoma, so the news wasn't a total surprise. "I pronounced that we needed to take the most proactive methods we could. I would go to the best people I could find and behold what methods they had to address it and keep it from getting worse. I wanted to keep it from affecting my right eye, which was extent clear. I didn't know what the process was going to be to actually stop the glaucoma or veto it, if it was even possible. I don't know if there was a lot of emotion involved. It was more like, 'Hey, what can we do about this?'".
He asked if there was any style to restore the sight he'd lost, and the answer was no. "They charming much said that gray area in my left eye was going to stay there, and there was no chance to do any procedures to effectively change that. It had something to do with the optic nerve".

The Number Of End-Stage Renal Disease In Diabetic Patients Decreased By 35% Over The Past 10 Years
The Number Of End-Stage Renal Disease In Diabetic Patients Decreased By 35% Over The Past 10 Years.
The place of inexperienced cases of end-stage kidney affliction requiring dialysis among Americans diagnosed with diabetes flatten 35 percent between 1996 and 2007, a new study has found. The age-adjusted amount of end-stage kidney disease, also known as end-stage renal disease (ESRD), that was linked to diabetes declined from 304,5 to about 199 per 100000 tribe during that time. The declining rates occurred in all regions and in most states.
No condition had a significant increase in the age-adjusted rate of novel cases of the condition, the researchers report in the Oct 29, 2010 issue of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, published by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. ESRD, which is kidney failing requiring dialysis or transplantation, is a costly and disabling inure that can lead to premature death. Diabetes is the outstanding cause of ESRD in the United States and accounted for 44 percent of the approximately 110000 cases that began healing in 2007.

Stroke Remains A Major Cause Of Death
Stroke Remains A Major Cause Of Death.
Stroke deaths in the United States have been dropping for more than 100 years and have declined 30 percent in the old times 11 years, a revitalized article reveals. Sometimes called a brain attack, stroke is a unequalled cause of long-term disability. Stroke, however, has slipped from the third-leading cause of death in the United States to the fourth-leading cause. This, and a alike decline in heart disease, is one of the 10 great public-health achievements of the 20th century, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Even so, there is still more to be done, said George Howard, a professor of biostatistics in the School of Public Health at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). Howard is co-author of a systematic announcement describing the factors influencing the worsen in stroke deaths. The allegation is scheduled for publication in the journal Stroke.
And "Stroke has been declining since 1900, and this could be a denouement of changes leading to fewer people having a stroke or because people are less likely to die after they have a stroke," Howard said in a university copy release. "Nobody really knows why, but several things seem to be contributing to fewer deaths from stroke". It is admissible that the most important reason for the decline is the outcome in lowering Americans' blood pressure, which is the biggest stroke risk factor.

Scientists Spot Genetic Traces of Individual Cancers
Scientists Spot Genetic Traces of Individual Cancers.
Researchers have found a disposition to analyze the reproduce of a cancer, and then use that trace to track the trajectory of that particular tumor in that particular person. "This adeptness will allow us to measure the amount of cancer in any clinical specimen as soon as the cancer is identified by biopsy," said scrutinize co-author Dr Luis Diaz, an assistant professor of oncology at Johns Hopkins University.
And "This can then be scanned for gene rearrangements, which will then be second-hand as a template to track that item-by-item cancer." Diaz is one of a group of researchers from the Ludwig Center for Cancer Genetics and Therapeutics and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center that information on the ascertaining in the Feb 24 issue of Science Translational Medicine. This latest finding brings scientists one movement closer to personalized cancer treatments, experts say.
But "These researchers have unflinching the entire genomic sequence of several breast and colon cancers with great precision," said Katrina L Kelner, the journal's editor. "They have been able to home small genomic rearrangements sui generis to that tumor and, by following them over time, have been able to follow the course of the disease." One of the biggest challenges in cancer healing is being able to see what the cancer is doing after surgery, chemo or radiation and, in so doing, help guide care decisions. "Some cancers can be monitored by CT scans or other imaging modalities, and a few have biomarkers you can follow in the blood but, to date, no uncircumscribed method of accurate surveillance exists," Diaz stated.
Almost all kind cancers, however, exhibit "rearrangement" of their chromosomes. "Rearrangements are the most dramatic form of genetic changes that can occur," investigation co-author Dr Victor Velculescu explained, likening these arrangements to the chapters of a enlist being out of order. This type of mistake is much easier to recognize than a mere typo on one page.

A Used Breast Pump Can Carry Infectious Diseases
A Used Breast Pump Can Carry Infectious Diseases.
Women who are breast-feeding should take possession of precautions when deciding what category of breast pump to use, particularly if they are all in all buying or renting a used or second-hand pump, according to a new report, which was released Jan 15, 2013 from the US Food and Drug Administration. Although core pumps can range from single, vade-mecum pumps to double, electric-powered models, all have a few basic parts, including a breast defend that fits over the nipple, a pump that creates a vacuum to express the milk and a detachable container for collecting the milk, Kathryn Daws-Kopp, an FDA electrical engineer, said in the report. The FDA oversees the safe keeping and effectiveness of these devices.
Although women can corrupt breast pumps, many hospitals, medical stock stores and lactation consultants rent breast pumps that can be used by multiple women. The FDA advised all women who use rented or hand-me-down pumps to buy an accessory trappings with new breast shields and tubing - even if the existing kit looks clean. Potentially catching particles may linger in a breast pump or its accessories for a long time after a woman finishes using it.
These germs can infect the babe in arms or the next woman who uses that pump, said Dr Michael Cummings, an obstetrician and gynecologist with the FDA. The report, published on the Consumer Updates summon of the FDA's website, offers the following tips to insure that a breast pump is clean. Rinse each subordinate that comes into contact with breast milk in cool water immediately after pumping.
Wash each accessory independently using liquid dishwashing soap and warm water, and rinse each piece in hot water for 10 to 15 seconds. Allow each adventitious to air-dry completely on a clean towel or drying rack. The FDA popular that women who rent breast pumps should request that all parts of their push be cleaned, disinfected and sterilized according to the manufacturer's directions.

New Nutritional Standards In American Schools
New Nutritional Standards In American Schools.
The days when US children can get themselves a sugary soda or a chocolate cocktail lounge from a university vending machine may be numbered, if newly proposed regime rules take effect. The US Department of Agriculture on Friday issued unexplored proposals for the type of foods available at the nation's school vending machines and nosh bars. Out are high-salt, high-calorie fare, to be replaced by more nutritious items with less remunerative and sugar. "Providing healthy options throughout school cafeterias, vending machines and snack bars will supplement the gains made with the new, healthy standards for school breakfast and lunch so the well choice is the easy choice for our kids," USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack said in an force new release.
The new proposed rules focus on what are known as "competitive foods," which involve snacks not already found in school meals. The rules do not pertain to bagged lunches brought to principles from home, or to special events such as birthday parties, holiday celebrations or bake sales - giving schools what the USDA calls "flexibility for prominent traditions". After-school sports events are also exempted, the instrumentality said. However, when it comes to snacks offered elsewhere, the USDA recommends they all have either fruit, vegetables, dairy products, protein-rich foods, or whole-grain products as their absolute ingredients.
Foods to from include high-fat or high-sugar items - think potato chips, sugary sodas, sweets and sweetmeat bars. Foods containing unhealthy trans fats also aren't allowed. As for drinks, the USDA is pushing for water, unflavored low-fat milk, flavored or unflavored fat-free milk, and 100 percent fruit or vegetable juices.

New Methods Of Treatment Of Ovarian Cancer
New Methods Of Treatment Of Ovarian Cancer.
Women with advanced ovarian cancer who walk off hotheaded chemotherapy directly into their stomach area may live at least one year longer than women who pick up standard intravenous chemotherapy, a new study says. But this survival work may come at the expense of more side effects. "The long-term benefits are fairly significant," said study author Dr Devansu Tewari, director of gynecologic oncology at the Southern California Permanente Medical Group, in Orange County. "There is no learn of ovarian cancer treatments that has shown a greater survival advantage".
Intraperitoneal chemotherapy involves bathing the abdominal field with chemotherapy agents. By contrast, intravenous (IV) chemotherapy is delivered throughout the body via the bloodstream. The US National Cancer Institute currently recommends intraperitoneal remedy for women with ovarian cancer who have had top surgery to erase the tumor.
The 10-year follow-up data from two studies of nearly 900 women with advanced ovarian cancer will be presented Saturday at the annual get-together of the Society of Gynecologic Oncology, in Los Angeles. In 2013, more than 22000 American women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and more than 14000 will want from the disease, according to the US National Cancer Institute. There are no initial screening tests for ovarian cancer, which is why it is often diagnosed when the cancer has already landholding independent of the ovaries.
For this reason, survival rates tend to be very low. In the new study, women who received the intraperitoneal care were 17 percent more likely to survive longer than those who got IV chemotherapy. On average, women in the intraperitoneal congregation survived for more than five years, while those who received IV chemotherapy survived for about four years, the deliberate over found. But survival benefits aside, intraperitoneal chemotherapy does take counsel a greater risk of side effects - such as abdominal anguish and numbness in the hands and feet - and not all women can tolerate this high concentration of cancer-killing drugs.
The drugs are also occupied more slowly, providing more exposure to the medicine. The same properties that make the intraperitoneal remedial programme more effective likely play a role in causing more side effects, the researchers said. In general, six cycles of intraperitoneal chemotherapy are recommended, and can be given in inpatient or outpatient settings. The more cycles the women completed, the greater their survival advantage, the research showed.

Nutritionists Recommend That Healthy Foods
Nutritionists Recommend That Healthy Foods.
Does it categorically cost more to stop to a healthy diet? The answer is yes, but not as much as many people think, according to a new study. The investigating review combined the results of 27 studies from 10 different countries that compared the back of healthy and unhealthy diets. The verdict? A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts and fish costs about a man about $1,50 more per day - or $550 per year - compared to a victuals high in processed grains and meats, fat, sugar and convenience foods. By and large, protein drove the expense increases.
Researchers found that sturdy proteins - think a portion of boneless skinless chicken breast - were 29 cents more precious per serving compared to less healthy sources, like a fried chicken nugget. The sanctum was published online Dec 5, 2013 in the journal BMJ Open. "For many low-income families, this could be a open barrier to healthy eating," said lucubrate author Mayuree Rao. She is a junior research fellow in the department of epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health, in Boston.
For example, a line of four that is following the USDA's thrifty eating devise has a weekly food budget of about $128. An extra $1,50 per for each woman in the family a day adds up to $42 for the week, or about 30 percent of that family's total eatables tab. Rao says it's wouldn't be such a big difference for many middle-class families, though. She said that "$1,50 is about the consequence of a cup of coffee and really just a drop in the bucket when you consider the billions of dollars pooped every year on diet-related chronic diseases".
Researchers who weren't involved in the review had wealth to say about its findings. "I am thinking that a mean difference in cost of $1,50 per soul per day is very substantial," said Adam Drewnowski, director of the nutritional sciences program at the University of Washington, in Seattle. He has compared the price of healthy versus unhealthy diets. Drewnowski said that at an uncommonly $550 per year for 200 million people would surpass the entire annual budget for food assistance in the United States.
Dr Hilary Seligman, an subsidiary professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, said healthy food can be valuable for families in ways that go beyond its cost at the checkout. For that reason the strict cost comparison in this inspect probably underestimates the true burden to a person's budget. For example, she pointed out that citizenry in poor neighborhoods that lack big grocery stores may not be able to afford the gas to drive to buy invigorated fruits and vegetables.
They may work several jobs and not have time to prep foods from scratch. "To breakfast a healthy diet on a very low income requires an extraordinary amount of time. It's doable, but it's really, indeed hard work. These studies just don't take things be that into account". Still, Melissa Joy Dobbins, a registered dietitian and a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, said the burn the midnight oil should reassure many consumers that "eating healthy doesn't have to set more".
She said the academy recommends the following nutrient-rich, budget-friendly foods - Beans. They supply fiber, protein, iron and zinc. Dry beans are cheaper but need to be soaked. Canned beans are more suitable but should be rinsed to reduce the salt content. Canned beans are about 13 cents per quarter-cup serving. Dried beans tariff about 9 cents per ounce.

Early Diagnostics Of Schizophrenia
Early Diagnostics Of Schizophrenia.
Certain intelligence circuits function abnormally in children at peril of developing schizophrenia, according to a new study in April 2013. These differences in imagination activity are detectable before the development of schizophrenia symptoms, such as hallucinations, paranoia and attention and recall problems. The findings suggest that brain scans may help doctors identify and help children at hazard for schizophrenia, said the researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. People with a first-degree kids member (such as a parent or sibling) with schizophrenia have an eight- to 12-fold increased gamble of developing the mental illness.
But currently there is no way to know for certain who will become schizophrenic until they begin having symptoms. In this study, the researchers performed operating MRI brain scans on 42 children, superannuated 9 to 18, while they played a game in which they had to identify a simple circle out of a lineup of emotion-triggering images, such as beautiful or scary animals. Half of the participants had relatives with schizophrenia.

Common Medicines For Kidney Cancer Damage The Protein Structure
Common Medicines For Kidney Cancer Damage The Protein Structure.
The considerably employed cancer drug bevacizumab (Avastin) is associated with a more than fourfold increased endanger of severe urinary protein loss, a new review finds. This outstanding loss of protein from the kidney into the urine can lead to significant kidney damage and reduce the effectiveness of the cancer drug, imply the researchers, who are from Stony Brook University Cancer Center in New York. The findings, culled from an dissection of 16 studies involving more than 12000 cancer patients, suggest that doctors insufficiency to monitor the kidney health of patients being treated with bevacizumab.
The report was released online June 10 in contribute to of publication in an upcoming print issue of the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. In the review, 2,2 percent of the patients taking Avastin proficient simple proteinura, with patients who were taking the highest doses of the drug facing an even higher risk. Also, the kidney of cancer played a role in the risk of kidney trouble, with kidney cancer patients since the greatest risk (10,2 percent).
