1) Three Ways to Increase Your Metabolism
[No link provided]
As I continue studying for my group fitness instructor certification exam, I am becoming more aware of the important role that metabolism plays in contributing to or detracting from wellness. Although there is much information about metabolism that an individual should grasp, recognizing that an increased metabolic rate can facilitate calorie burning is important for individuals interested in shedding unwanted pounds. If you are interested in accomplishing this goal, here are three ways that you can increase your metabolism:1. Stretching. As many health experts know, metabolism is the measure of the rate at which an individual's body consumes or "burns" calories. In discussing ways to boost metabolism, Peak Health Advocate notes that stretching can boost metabolism and thereby burn calories. This is an important reality to recognize for those interested in weight loss or maintenance. [...]

2) Want to Raise Your Metabolism to Lose Weight? Here's How
[No link provided]
As I continue preparing to become a group fitness instructor, I realize that one of the motivating factors that lead people to start exercising is a desire to lose weight. Although there are a variety of ways this goal can be accomplished, raising your metabolism can be a very effective way to make it happen. If you are interested in shedding unwanted pounds by increasing your metabolic rate, here are three great strategies you can employ to accomplish your goal:
1. Drink More Water. As many health experts know, water raises metabolism by changing your body temperature. In noting how water consumption affects metabolic rate, Maggie Spilner notes that "It may speed up metabolism by as much as 28 percent in an hour." For the best results, she encourages you to drink it cold. (In addition to drinking water to lose weight by boosting your metabolism, you should note that consuming water [...]

3) Three Fitness Facts You Should Know About
[No link provided]
The decision to become a certified group fitness instructor is probably one of the best I've made in my whole life. Although I have been exercising consistently for several years now, I was unaware of how complex and interesting the field is until I began studying for my exam. Here are three interesting fitness facts you should know about:1. Every Little Bit Helps. As an individual who works out 6 to 7 times per week, I'm accustomed to being very active and reaping the benefits that result from continual engagement in cardiovascular and weight training activity. However, research shows that individuals who do not exercise this much can still experience profound results from their activity. In discussing the benefits of exercise, Meredith Melnick noted a study which found that individuals who engage in even a little bit of activity-such as a 15 minute daily walk-will reap benefits from [...]

1) Does Cocoa Butter Really Help Against Stretch Marks?
[No link provided]
While carrying my first child, I've been a little worried about what my belly has in store for me when it comes to developing stretch marks! During my nightly application of cocoa butter, I wonder how it really does help prevent the development of stretch marks, or if it even works at all!
Luckily, there is proof that applying cocoa butter religiously throughout pregnancy, or any type of growth spurt or weight gain, can provide promising results. Some argue that the results aren't prominent enough, or that products like Vitamin E are more efficient, but there are some things that cocoa butter does to your skin, that can help prevent new stretch marks from showing up, or even fade ones that you already have.
The main thing that cocoa butter does, is it replenishes the levels of collagen in your skin. Collagen is a protein in or skin's tissue, and sometimes if we're lacking it, [...]

New research on mice raises hope of a better, more lasting treatment for macular degeneration, which uses
a class of drugs known as MDM2 inhibitors to regress the abnormal blood vessels responsible for the vision loss
associated with the disease.
Researchers at the University of North Carolina (UNC) School of Medicine and colleagues write about their findings
in a recent online issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
Senior author Sai Chavala, assistant professor of Ophthalmology and Cell Biology & Physiology at the UNC School of
Medicine says:
"We believe we may have found an optimized treatment for macular degeneration. Our hope is that MDM2 inhibitors
would reduce the treatment burden on both patients and physicians."

Researchers say that efforts to tackle youth obesity rates in the US may be "having some success," as a new study reveals that teenagers in the US are eating healthier, carrying out more physical activity and watching less TV.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2010 more than a third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese. The "obesity epidemic," particularly in children and adolescents, has become an increasing concern, although there have been positive signs of decline.
Medical News Today recently reported that the CDC revealed rates of childhood obesity declined in 19 of 43 states and territories studied between 2008 and 2011.

A nuclear stress test is similar to the exercise stress test or pharmacological (chemical) stress test, but a small amount of radioactive substance is used to determine the health of the heart and blood flow to the heart.
The nuclear stress test can be referred to by other names, such as a thallium stress test1, myocardial perfusion scan2, or radionuclide test3.
The nuclear stress test can be done while the patient is resting or doing exercise. The radioactive substance that is injected into the patient is called a radionuclide
According to the British Heart Foundation, "Radionuclide tests are considered safe4. However, during the test you will be exposed to some radiation."

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical procedure that involves placing a neurostimulator in the brain which sends out electrical impulses to specific regions of the brain.
The electrical impulses are sent out to block abnormal signals that can cause a number of different neurological disorders.
DBS is commonly used to treat essential tremor, Parkinson's disease, and dystonia (a movement disorder in which the muscles contract and spasm).
The procedure is also being studied as a potential form of treatment for Tourette syndrome and major depression.
The DBS system is made up of three different components:
an implanted pulse generator
the lead
an extension wire
The lead (also called an electrode) is a thin insulated wire [...]

The NuvaRing is a hormonal contraceptive device for women.
The device is a flexible plastic ring which is placed into the vagina. The NuvaRing releases the hormones progestin and estrogen into the body, which prevents the ovaries from producing mature eggs.
A NuvaRing is typically worn for three weeks, after which it should be removed - to allow menstruation. A regular menstrual period will typically start within two or three days of removing the ring. After a one week break a new ring can be inserted.
NuvaRing is manufactured by the pharmaceutical giant Merck. It was first approved in Holland on February 14, 2001, and months later 14 other European Union countries approved.
On October 3, 2001, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) made [...]

Eating too much red meat, which raises brain levels of iron, may heighten the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, researchers from the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA reported in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease.
As background information, the authors explained that iron can accelerate the damaging reactions of free radicals. Over time, iron builds up in brain gray matter regions and appears to contribute to the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and other age-related illnesses.
Alzheimer's disease has been an exceptionally challenging enemy to defeat. Its number 1 risk factor is aging - something none of us can prevent.

Sleep is well-known to help us better understand what we have learned. But now, researchers believe they have discovered exactly how sleep helps our brains to better learn specific motor tasks, such as typing or playing the piano.
The study, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, is the first to use three different brain scans in order to determine changes in particular brainwaves and the exact location of changed brain activity in specific motor learning subjects.
Researchers carried out an analysis of 15 subjects who volunteered for motor learning experiments, which involved a series of finger-tapping tasks.

Anxiety disorders, which include post-traumatic stress disorder, social phobias and obsessive-compulsive disorder, affect 40 million American adults in a given year. Currently available treatments, such as antianxiety drugs, are not always effective and have unwanted side effects.
To develop better treatments, a more specific understanding of the brain circuits that produce anxiety is necessary, says Kay Tye, an assistant professor of brain and cognitive sciences and member of MIT's Picower Institute for Learning and Memory.
"The targets that current anti-anxiety drugs are acting on are very nonspecific. We don't actually know what the targets are for modulating anxiety-related behavior," Tye says.
In a step toward uncovering better targets, Tye and her colleagues [...]

Anyone fancy a game of cancer hunting? The charity Cancer Research UK has announced a partnership with an England-based software agency to develop a game in which the general public can analyze cancer data while playing. Scientists hope the game will help them recognize new causes of cancer.
Scientists from the charity are using cancer patients' genetic fingerprints to find ways to treat the disease in a much more focused way, but they have encountered a snag: their research is producing "terabytes upon petabytes of data requiring analysis."
To analyze the data - which must be looked at by a human eye rather than by a machine - Cancer Research UK is working with a company called Guerilla Tea to develop a game called GeneGame. The potential of having thousands of eyes on the data means it can be [...]

An experimental drug in early development for aggressive brain tumors can cross the blood-brain tumor barrier, kill tumor cells and block the growth of tumor blood vessels, according to a study led by researchers at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC - James).
The laboratory and animal study also shows how the agent, called SapC-DOPS, targets tumor cells and blood vessels. The findings support further development of the drug as a novel treatment for brain tumors.
Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common and aggressive form of brain cancer, with a median survival of about 15 months. A major obstacle to improving treatment for the 3,470 cases of the disease expected in [...]

Split liver transplantation carries no increased risk of failure in either recipient, allowing surgeons to safely save two lives from a single donated organ (graft), according to new research from Boston Children's Hospital published online in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons.
Due to their regenerative nature, livers donated by a deceased adult or adolescent can be surgically split into two unequally sized portions; the smaller segment is allocated to a young child awaiting transplant and the larger portion to an adult.
"Infants waiting for a donor liver have the highest waitlist mortality of all liver transplant candidates, and dozens of children die each year waiting for size-appropriate organs to become [...]

Anyone fancy a game of cancer hunting? The charity Cancer Research UK has announced a partnership with an England-based software agency to develop a game in which the general public can analyze cancer data while playing. Scientists hope the game will help them recognize new causes of cancer.
Scientists from the charity are using cancer patients' genetic fingerprints to find ways to treat the disease in a much more focused way, but they have encountered a snag: their research is producing "terabytes upon petabytes of data requiring analysis."
To analyze the data - which must be looked at by a human eye rather than by a machine - Cancer Research UK is working with a company called Guerilla Tea to develop a game called GeneGame. The potential of having thousands of eyes on the data means it can be [...]

An experimental drug in early development for aggressive brain tumors can cross the blood-brain tumor barrier, kill tumor cells and block the growth of tumor blood vessels, according to a study led by researchers at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC - James).
The laboratory and animal study also shows how the agent, called SapC-DOPS, targets tumor cells and blood vessels. The findings support further development of the drug as a novel treatment for brain tumors.
Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common and aggressive form of brain cancer, with a median survival of about 15 months. A major obstacle to improving treatment for the 3,470 cases of the disease expected in [...]

Split liver transplantation carries no increased risk of failure in either recipient, allowing surgeons to safely save two lives from a single donated organ (graft), according to new research from Boston Children's Hospital published online in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons.
Due to their regenerative nature, livers donated by a deceased adult or adolescent can be surgically split into two unequally sized portions; the smaller segment is allocated to a young child awaiting transplant and the larger portion to an adult.
"Infants waiting for a donor liver have the highest waitlist mortality of all liver transplant candidates, and dozens of children die each year waiting for size-appropriate organs to become [...]

1) The Global Burden Of Sickle Cell Anemia In Young Children Is Increasing
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mnt/healthnews/~3/aSaZ0M25O8E/263309.php
Main Category: Blood / Hematology

The global burden of sickle cell anemia (SCA), a hereditary blood disorder, is increasing, with almost half a million babies estimated to be born with the condition in 2050, according to a study published in this week's PLOS Medicine. The study, conducted by Frédéric Piel and colleagues from the University of Oxford and Imperial College in the United Kingdom, and the KEMRI/Wellcome Trust Research Programme, Kenya, suggests that implementing basic health interventions could significantly reduce death rates in children aged less than 5 years with the condition. These findings can be used to guide national policy decisions on public health spending.
The researchers used estimated country rates of SCA and information on projected birth rates to show that the [...]

Bias pervades the scientific reporting of animal studies
A new study published in the open access journal PLOS Biology suggests that the scientific literature could be compromised by substantial bias in the reporting of animal studies, and may be giving a misleading picture of the chances that potential treatments could work in humans.
Testing a new therapeutic intervention (such as a drug or surgical procedure) on human subjects is expensive, risky and ethically complex, so the vast majority are first tested on animals. Unfortunately, cost and ethical issues constrain the size of animal studies, giving them limited statistical power, and as a result the scientific literature contains many studies that are either uncertain in their outcomes or [...]

Article Date: 16 Jul 2013 - 10:00 PDT
Scientists at the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna (Vetmeduni Vienna) are hot on the trail of the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. The researchers have developed a technique for the rapid and reliable distinction between strains that can cause chronic infections and those that cannot. Using infrared light and artificial intelligence, the scientists present a sophisticated method for the prediction of disease progression. Their results are now published in the Journal of Clinical Microbiology.
The bacterium Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is commonly found in nature and frequently colonizes the skin and the upper respiratory tract of humans. A healthy immune system can fight the microorganism but once the immune system is weakened [...]
