Scientists has isolated a type of stem cell that causes heart disease in later life.
The research is profound because it contradicts much of the generally accepted theories of what causes arterial hardening, and the concept may also relate to many other diseases could the associated stem cells be pinpointed.
Song Li, a bio engineering professor at UC Berkeley and a researcher at the Berkeley Stem Cell Center, and his team have uncovered is a dormant stem cell in blood vessel walls, that seems to sit inactive for most of a person's lifetime, before coming to life and causing less functional cells to begin to grow. Li says these new types of cells that start growing in later life, are the root cause of arterial hardening and clogging that are associated with deadly strokes and heart attacks. Originally, it was thought that the smooth muscle cells in the arteries lining become scarred over time, and this leads to the narrow and brittle arteries that play a major part in causing cardiovascular disease. Multipurpose vascular stem cells are growing cells that look much like the smooth muscle cells, but don't function correctly. The cells were not found previously, because there are so few of them, that they were hard to isolate.
It almost sounds like something from Blade Runner, where the replicate humans have been deliberately designed to deteriorate and die at a much faster rate than the natural ones. What purpose would it serve the body under standard evolutionary terms to have cells activating later in life that effectively lead to its demise? With the arteries poorly formed, with wrong cell types, the blood flow becomes slowed and can then stopped completely. This causes strokes or heart attacks, depending on the location of the blockage. Strokes and heart attacks are one of the leading causes of death in the United States.
Creating drugs or other genetic treatments to shut down these stem cells or even deactivate them while a person is still young has the potential in the future to prevent arteriole hardening, reverse the damage already done, and even make this type of cardiovascular disease a thing of the past. Perhaps the futuristic Woody Allen movie "Sleeper" where people smoke tobacco and eat a high fat diet because it's healthier is not so far fetched after all.
Li backs up his theory by pointing out that the current ideas, of smooth muscle cells in the artery walls, "differentiating", or basically reverting back to an earlier stage of development and causing the scaring and degeneration seen in hardened arteries, actually had no fundamental proven mechanism to back it.
It is worth noting, of course, that the research is ground breaking and will need to be repeated and confirmed by other research teams, and Li did most of his work on mouse rather than human tissue. Nonetheless, it is an impressive work and one that will soon give drug companies a target to begin preventing growth of these negative "death" cells.
Interestingly, the stem cells that form arteries are also capable of becoming nerve, cartilage, bone and fat cells, suggesting why arteries become brittle or even filled with fat deposits. Li says that trying to attack the problem with diets and lower cholesterol is just attacking the symptoms, much like trying to stop a runny nose when you have a cold.
The research is certainly eye opening, and when we think back 100 years to some of the more outlandish scientific theories that have long since been discarded, it doesn't require much stretch of the imagination to realize that there must still be theories taken to be practically a fact, that are at best misleading or at worse plain wrong. In the spirit of a true scientist, Li has reminded us that we have so much more to understand about our existence. Thats all....

Everyone at some point has to deal with the discomfort of swollen eyelids. This is not comfortable to wake up with a swollen eyelids.As the skin of eyelids are the thinnest skin of our body,so that few accumulation of extra cellular fluid can cause of puffy eyes but it's temporary.
Many times it's also be seen permanent swollen c dew to accumulation of fat or high cholesterol label.
So ,I want to hearty recommend our reader to consul with a general physician if swollen eyelids don't goes away after using our simple best working remedy.
One question must be appear in your mind that why eyelids got swollen,so i discus the reasons behind it.
The cause of swollen eyelids:
Eyelids can become swollen for a number of reasons, including allergies, infection, fluid retention, bad diet or even after crying or sleeping.Are you know crying triggers swelling? when the body reacts to emotion causing more blood to flow to the eyes,so accumulation extra cellular fluid is much faster
Swollen of eyes also related with your some food habit,like sodium rich food , excess alcohol & water drinking before going to bed etc. The all of above foods & drinks increase the water re-absorption to body through renal tubules which is the main reason of fluid accumulation under thine skin layer.
Hormonal changes can also cause water retention as can dehydration.
It's best to try to identify the cause of swollen eyelids before trying to treat them.
For instance, allergies or infection may need to be treated by a doctor as a home remedy may not cure the problem itself only can give some instant relive. It is always important to see your doctor if you suspect infection.
Now i want to describe some Remedies for instant relive and cure of swollen eyelids.
Home Remedies:
For minor swelling not caused by infection, there are a few easy remedies:
If you assumed the puffy eyes is made off allergic action or any types of insect causing infection,
Use an aloe eye cream or solution made especially for puffy eyes.you can also use hot tea bag as astringent.
Cooling therapy for vasoconstriction or lowering the blood flow:
- Cool spoons in freezer for five minutes; lie down and place spoons over eyes until no longer cold.
- Put ice cubes in plastic sandwich bags and hold over eyes for as long as possible
Osmosis therapy:
Put cucumber on your eyes it helps extra cellular fluid to get out from the eyelids vain and leave a freshness on your eyes.If you assumed the puffy eyes is made off allergic action or any types of insect causing infection,
Use an aloe eye cream or solution made especially for puffy eyes.you can also use hot tea bag as astringent.
How to Prevent Swollen Eyelids:
The easiest way to prevent swollen eyelids is to get plenty of rest and stay hydrated. Lower sodium and alcohol intake. Also never sleep in makeup or use eye-make up that is older than a few months since bacteria can cause infections of the eye. Sleep with your head elevated to avoid fluid building up in the tissue around the eye.Monday, 15 October 2012

Breast cancer claims the lives of thousands of women each year. In the last two decades breast cancer raised the commonest mortal violence of malignancy. The incidence of breast cancer is 6 time higher in developed countries than the developing countries. Breast cancer is a malignant growth that begins in the tissues of the breast. Over the course of a lifetime, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer.
In here we will provide a closer look about the symptoms, risk factors, prevention and for best cancer.
Breast Cancer – What are the Symptoms?
Since symptoms of breast cancer are not easily noticeable in its early stages. If you perform a monthly self breast exam, you can notify the changes.
Some risk factor for breast cancer :
we are want to notified our new follower, that in our early-er post we were described the all risk factor about breast cancer ,so please follow the link to know about risk factor for breast cancer.
Symptoms and signs of breast cancer can include:
Swelling of the breast or swelling in the lymph nodes
If your breast is warm or hot to the touch this can be a sign of inflammatory breast cancer
Continuous pain in nipple with sudden relive
Persistent tenderness of the breast
Discharge from the nipple can be clear or bloody
Lumps in the breast, no matter how small
Breast itching
Dimpled breast skin
A red, blotchy breast that may have a rash-like appearance is possible symptom of inflammatory breast cancer
Breast Cancer Prevention and Diet:
Are you know obesity can be reduces breast cancer probability by hormonal retardation. That means some food, that related with some hormonal factor can also be reduce the breast cancer tendency.
So we will provide a right diet list that could reduce your risk of getting breast cancer by up to 50%.
Include fiber containing rich food in your daily diet, such as whole-grain breads and cereals, can help lower the amount of prolactin and estrogen. They are bind with this hormones and flushing them out of the body.
Intake every day some vegetable rich in vitamin A, such as carrots, squashes, sweet potatoes, and dark leafy greens, as spinach and collard and mustard greens, can be reduce breast cancer tendency. It is thought that vitamin A inhibits the formation of cancer-causing mutations & this type of vegetable increase the release of protective enzyme.
Cutting out heavy fat containing food from your daily diet list, it can be reduce your breast cancer tendency.
Mainly rediation and chemo therapy is used for the treatment of breast cancer but today many alternative cancer treatment is availabel in our medical system,so didn't lead your life in a panic condition.
Always remember that prevention is better than cure so fallow our prevention rule to stay healthy.

In present whole world got a clear knowledge about
alcohol provided mortality despite off it vigorously engulfed the human beings
in every moment. To maintain societal life people get addicted on alcohol.
After the addiction we are express our emotions by the alcohol. You can also
hear about the good effect of alcohol to build up cardiac problem less body,
but I want to inform you that only a moderate amount of alcohol is good for
health.
Now I want to discus about the
addiction of alcohol or alcoholism,
What is Alcoholism?
Alcoholism is the physical and mental addiction to alcohol.
Prolonged use of alcohol will affect both physical and mental conditions, and it
tends you various social implicates. Physically it affects the digestive
system, pancreas, nerves, and heart and also central nervous system which
stimulated you for rather alcohol consumption.
Why people get addicted on alcohol:
it`s also a powerful sedative drug that speeds up your brain and
central nervous system for some time. It triggers the release of a chemical in
your brain (dopamine) that boosts your mood, makes you feel calm, and at the
same time, can make you feel more alert. After this period you feel an overall
depressed condition. Alcohol absorbed through the GIT wall on the body, thus the
alcohol level in your blood peaks within few minute. Thus, your brain adjusts
to the stimulation from alcohol and lowers your natural energy level or mood.
Common Causes of Alcoholism:
- Schizophrenia
- Mental stress
- Depression
- Established behavior patterns
- Damaged relationships
- Genetics
- Environment
- Inheritance
Home Remedies for neutralized the effect of alcohol :
- You must be intake half burned bread with butter before the alcohol consumption, it protect your stomach from the bad effect of alcohol.
- The juice of Bitter gourd leaves is very good for clearing intoxication. 3 tsp of juice mixed in a glass with buttermilk is very helpful to heal the damaged liver also.
- Take a piece of turmeric with papaya and one tsp of honey in every early morning it recover your lever damage due to alcohol.
- Eat apples as many as possible at regular intervals; it can reduce the craving for alcohol. They also help to clear the toxins from the system.
- Take a normal systemic antacid like, digging, gelusine after alcohol intake, it stand for against the conversion of ethyl to harmful methyl alcohol in the GI Track.
After prolong drinking of alcohol a man fall in the
alcoholism. Then you can’t maintain the distance between alcohols as per your
wish. So I am recommended only two effective ways to get rid of alcoholism.
Home Remedies for Alcoholism
- At first I want to suggest you to Stay away from alcoholism person and tell every person close to you, that you are going to avoid alcohol. This is a very impotent step for cease smoking.
- Grapes-This fruit contains a pure form of alcohol. A person wanting to give up this habit should have a meal of grapes every 4-5 hours, for a month at least. It reduce your alcohol intakeing tendency
The second process is
great and if you intake regularly as per direction, only 2-3 month you can stay
with alcohol. I concluded to the above discussion according to my personal
experience.

some
new approaches in anticancer therapy has been emerged out, interested people can
read it to get info about that....
The monoclonal antibodies are antibodies that recognize tumour-specific antigens. Thus they act as “magic bullets” which attack tumour cells, sparing the normal body cells. Hence they provide efficacy without the side effects commonly associated with anticancer drugs. Trastuzumab and rituximab are the first of these treatments to become available, and trastuzumab alone would have touched a quarter of a billion dollars in sales in the year 2000. Monoclonal antibodies can also be conjugated with antitumour drugs, toxins, or radionuclides. In such a situation, the monoclonal antibody may only be used to target the tumor, while the chemotherapeutic agent or radioactive compound does the real damage to the tumour cells. An example of such a treatment is pemtumumab, a potential agent for treating ovarian cancer.
Gene therapy involves modification of the genetic code of the cell, causing a reprogramming of the cell. In cancer, gene therapy may be employed to arrest or prevent the disease. For example, delivering tumour-supressing genes to leukemic cells could stop or reverse the malignant process. Permanent reprogramming will occur if the DNA coding is incorporated into the cells’ genetic apparatus. A virus may be used as a vector to carry the DNA code to the target cells. Incidentally, the majority of gene therapy trials in progress today are targeting cancer and products based on gene therapy are expected to be available in a few years.
Antisense therapy is one approach to regulating gene expression in cancer cells, aiming to “turn off” the genes that cause cancer. It is based on the use of short spans of DNA or RNA to disrupt the expression of disease-related genetic code. Antisense DNA binds to RNA from disease genes, preventing its expression as disease.
Genes may also be introduced into tumor cells to augment cellular function at the tumor site, helping the body to overcome immune tolerance, and to elicit an anti-tumor immune response. The approaches to such transgenic immunotherapy include tumour vaccines and adoptive immunotherapy.
Tumor vaccines involve transecting genes into tumor cells to render the tumor more immunogenic. This promotes recognition by cytotoxic T lymphocytes and their activation, resulting in an anti-tumor response. A vaccine for tumors initiated or promoted by viruses could be derived from inactivated viruses or from viral antigens.
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes and macrophages from a surgically-excised tumor can proliferate in the presence of interleukin-2 and can then be used for systemic adoptive immunotherapy when injected back into the patient. Administration of such cells can localize tumor sites by stimulating a population of lymphocytes that can lyse tumor cells but not normal cells.
Haemopoietic growth factors are involved in the production of blood cells from the bone marrow and are useful in reducing bone marrow toxicity associated with anticancer agents. These growth factors are cytokines that promote proliferation and differentiation of granulocytes and monocyte/macrophages.They include erythropoietin, granulocyte-macrophage stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and granulocyte stimulating factor (G-CSF). GM-CSF and G-CSF increase the neutrophil count in peripheral blood after high dose chemotherapy followed by bone-marrow transplantation, thus resulting in lesser chances of infections. Erythropoietin can help to replenish red blood cells in aplastic anemia and after cancer chemotherapy. Recently thrombopoietin has been described; this agent may alleviate thrombocytopenia due to inadequate marrow production.
The interferon were originally discovered as natural anti-viral compounds. They are of three types: alpha, beta and gamma. Alpha-interferon, which is produced by leukocytes and lymphoblastic cells stimulated by viruses and certain microbial cell components, is used clinically for its anticancer activity. The antitumour effects are a result of direct cytotoxicity to tumour cells and stimulation of natural killer cells and macrophages. Alpha-interferon is active in a wide range of malignant disorders, most especially in the treatment of hairy cell leukaemia. Its role in the treatment of other neoplasm is under evaluation.
Interleukin-2 is a natural modulator of the immune system that stimulates specialized immune system cells, namely cytotoxic T-lymphocytes and natural killer cells. Recombinant interleukin-2 is manufactured through DNA technology and administered to the patient by intravenous infusion. Activated lymphocytes will target and kill the cancer cells.
If a growth is confined to its original tissue boundaries, even the rapid cellular multiplication occurring in its early phase may not cause serious disease. However, migration from the original tissue compartment, invasion of normal surrounding tissue and dissemination throughout the body constitute malignancy. To invade and metastasis, tumors release proteolytic enzymes which break down extracellular barriers comprising of a network of components such as laminin, fibronectin and other glycoprotein’s, collagens, and proteoglycans. Proteolytic enzymes inhibitors could block such break down and play a role in controlling the spread of cancer. One such inhibitor, batimistat, is now under evaluation.
Angiogenesis refers to the formation of new blood vessels. A cancer needs new blood vessels for its growth, and a drug that blocks the formation of these new blood vessels could cut off the tumor’s blood supply, thus destroying it. Many anti angiogenesis agents are being studied, including vascular endothelial growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor, platelet factor 4, thrombospondin-1, angiostatin and endostatin. In the future, angiogenesis inhibitors could be a regular component of anticancer therapy.
The emerging approaches to cancer management suggest that the treatment of cancer is set to undergo radical change. Successful disease management could also mean that perhaps soon enough, cancer will not be a dreaded disease anymore.

What is Chickenpox?
Chickenpox is a herpes virus infection in which a patient develops extremely itchy fluid-filled blisters all over the body. It is a type of classic childhood diseases. Adults and older children usually get sicker than younger children. However, it has become much less common since the introduction of the chickenpox vaccine.
It is a communicable disease. Chickenpox can be spread very easily to others. The chickenpox rash occurs about 10 to 21 days after coming into contact with someone who had the disease. You may get chickenpox from touching the fluids from a chickenpox blister, or if someone with the disease coughs or sneezes near you. Even those with mild illness may be contagious.
Common Causes of ChickenPox
- Chickenpox is inducing by the varicella-zoster virus, a member of the herpes virus family.
- A person with chickenpox becomes contagious 1 to 2 days before their blisters appear.
- A child who has low immune system chances of chicken pox attack also increase.
- Chicken pox also available in your body with inhaling airborne droplets.
Symptoms of ChickenPox
Most children with chickenpox have the following symptoms before the rash appears:
- Fever
- Headache
- Stomach ache
After two to four days of virus attack rashes will be seen all over the patient body.The average child develops 250 to 500 small, itchy, fluid-filled blisters over red spots on the skin almost all over the body. Children with eczema may get thousands of blisters. At first blister are seen on the face, abdominal or head.
After a day or two, the blisters become cloudy and then formed scab, a hard coating on the skin formed during the wound healing reconstruction phase. That means new blister formed in a group. It often seen in the mouth, vagina, and on the eyelids
Dose & Don’t
At the time of treatment fallow those steps given bellow
- Avoid scratching or rubbing the blister, keep finger nail very short that it can’t scratch on the skin.
- Use cool and light weighed soft cotton cloth.
- Take lukewarm baths using little soap and rinse thoroughly.
- Take cornstarch bath.
- Apply a soothing moisturizer after bathing.
- Kept the patient in air-condition to maintain humidity and heat.
- Try over-the-counter oral antihistamines such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl),
- Try over-the-counter hydro-cortisone cream such as counter hydro-cortisone cream on itchy areas.
Precaution:
Anti viral medication is one of the best treatment of chicken pox but a child who suffer with unhealthy condition, the antiviral medication very harmful for health.
Don’t give aspirin and ibuprofen to someone who may have chickenpox. Use of aspirin may lids to a serious condition called Reyes syndrome. Ibuprofen has been liable for more severe secondary infections.

Why people get addicted on cigaret?
Nicotine is one of the main ingredients in tobacco and it`s also a powerful drug that speeds up your brain and central nervous system. It triggers the release of a chemical in your brain (dopamine) that boosts your mood, makes you feel calm, and at the same time, can make you feel more alert. The nicotine in cigarette smoke is absorbed through the skin lining of the mouth and the nose. The nicotine level in your blood peaks within 10 seconds of inhaling (breathing in) cigarette smoke into your lungs .Thus, your brain adjusts to the stimulation from nicotine and lowers your natural energy level or mood. You may then start to crave a cigarette for a boost. The more you smoke the more nicotine you need to feel good. Soon, your body craves nicotine to feel "normal." Being without nicotine for even a few hours can cause withdrawal symptoms like headaches, depression, anger, anxiety, and problems sleeping. Thus cigarette assist you more cigarette smoking.
Cause to quit smoking:
In every hour more than 10000
people get trapped in cigarettes. Cigarette contains many depressive chemicals
as well as carcinogenic product that are the reason of long time CNS depression
and lungs cancer repetitively. It`s known that atleast100 or more than 100
reasons are available against the smoking.
There are described few but predictable reason for quit smoking:
- Clean teeth
- Leaf without black spot
- Wrinkle-less face
- Less cough and cold
- Save money
How to quit smoking:
For stay away from tthe bad effect of ciggaret
please fallow those all proses respectively.
- At first i want to suggest you to Stay away from smokers and tell every person close to you ,that you are going to avoid smoking. this is a very impotent step for cease smoking.
- Set a date when you want to to leave smoking.
- Avoided smoking triggers alcohols
- Change your daily routine of eating, mainly change the time of lunch and dinner.
- Don't be awake for let night
- Change the time of rise up at morning and after wakening go for some free hand exercise, that will provide a relive from morning nicotine tendency.
- Use normal lozenge or mouth freshener when your body want cigaret.
if you don't able to get rid of
smoking from this above quieting procedure , then try those steps given
bellow.
At least when your cigaret trapped you totally ,we
are suggested some aids for quieting cigarette.
Nicotine patch: This is apply on the side of your neck in the
first morning and stay it for 3-4 hours.So we are
suggested some Brand name of common trans-dermal patch like, Habitrol,

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), is the most common arthropathy of
childhood with an estimated prevalence of 7 to 400/100,000 children. Pharmacologic
therapy ritual is the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for
it; although modern therapy also includes disease-modifying agents, including
biologic agents, methotrexate, sulfasalazine and corticosteroids.
What is JIA?
Juvenile arthritis(JA) is an umbrella term used to describe the many
autoimmune and inflammatory conditions that can develop in children ages 16 and
younger. It`s anti-inflammable arthritis on joint, mainly ball & socket
joint .
Home remedies for JIA:
Extra rest as well as heat and
exercise are also commonly recommended to help reduce symptoms. So we will provide
you some working remedies on it.
Well-balanced diet – Nutrition is one of
the most important home remedies for juvenile arthritis. A diet full of
vitamins, calcium and minerals helps maintain stronger and flexible joints.
Children with arthritis often have poor appetite. Parents and caregivers should
give careful attention on this since having a nutritious diet will improve
their condition from the inside. Having a balanced diet will also help maintain
the child’s weight since taking in of steroid medications tend to increase
their appetite way too much, thereby making them overweight.
Heat & cold packs application –
Heat application can cause vasodilatation while cold packs application can
cause vasoconstriction. Both can be beneficial for pain relief. When heat
therapy is used, it helps relaxes sore muscles and eases still joints. The
vasodilatation effect causes blood to move to those specific areas to help
increase the flexibility of the muscles. Cold therapy, on the other hand, is
ideal for relieving throbbing, burning, and excruciating pain.
Aromatherapy massage – Massage can help
relieve tension and the use of aromatic scented body oils can create a
sensation that is soothing to the body. Aromatherapy makes use of scented
plant-based oils such as lavender, eucalyptus, citrus/lemon, virgin coconut oil
(VCO), and the like, during a healing massage. Massage therapy is part of the
essential home remedies for aching body parts and can be an ideal solution for
throbbing arthritic pain. Massage is also ideal for relaxation and clarity of
the mind. Use slow kneading smooth flowing style to promote relaxation, improve
range of motion of limbs and joints and improves circulation giving an overall
general feeling of relaxation and well-being.
Regular exercise – Getting a regular
exercise will help the child become more flexible and it will promote stronger
bones and healthier toned muscles. Exercise can promote circulation and
improves body mechanics as well. Keep the child active and encourage him to run
with you, ride the bicycle with you and play outdoor sports together. This will
not only improve his bodily functions but creates a general feeling of
well-bring as parent and child engages in fun activities together.
