as a pump to deliver oxygen rich blood to the body. It can be caused due to

a. some diseases that weaken the heart muscle
b. diseases that increase oxygen demand from the body tissues beyond the heart's ability to provide adequate oxygen-rich blood.

c. diseases that cause stiffening of muscles of the heart

Symptoms Of Congestive Heart Failure :

There are many symptoms of Congestive heart failure but the most primary symptom includes fatigue. It is a most sensitive indicator of congestive heart failure. The person's ability to work and exercise can diminish and patient may not even sense this sudden decrease. In Congestive heart failure the body become overloaded wit fluids another symptom includes swelling of the legs and ankles.

Researchers Claim to Have Found a Cure for Baldness

2013-05-19T18:46:00.000-07:00

A report published in The Independent states that Japanese researchers have successfully managed to grow hair on bald mice, leading to hopes for a cure for baldness in near future.

Scientists from the Tsuji Lab Research Institute for Science and Technology at the Tokyo University of Science successfully implanted follicles created from stem cells onto the hairless rodents.

The creatures eventually grew hair, which continued regenerating in normal growth cycles after old hairs fell out.

When stem cells are grown into tissues or organs, they usually need to be extracted from embryos. However, professor Takashi Tsuji, who led the team, found hair follicles can be grown with adult stem cells.

It is now hoped that people could possibly use their own cells for implants that will give them their hair back, the newspaper added.

Hypertension Symptoms and Treatment

2013-05-19T16:16:00.000-07:00

About 90% to 95% of hypertension cases, called primary, or essential hypertension, have no known cause.

Primary hypertension may be influenced by factors such as genetic makeup, weight, or salt intake. Research is underway to learn more about the role that genes play in hypertension, as well as to explore the association between hypertension and factors such as obesity, low birth weight, and low levels of nitric oxide.

Nitric oxide is a molecule that affects the smooth muscle cells that line blood vessels. People with low levels of nitric oxide have been found to have high blood pressure; especially African-Americans with low levels of the molecule.

The term "secondary hypertension" refers to high blood pressure with recognizable causes, which are usually treatable or reversible.

Medical conditions
A number of medical conditions can cause secondary hypertension:
Kidney disease -- the kidneys control how much fluid and sodium are retained in the body and how much are excreted in the urine. Damage to the kidneys, therefore, can upset the balance of fluid and sodium -- which can lead to high blood pressure. Kidney disease is the number one cause of secondary hypertension, particularly in older people.

Sleep apnea -- this is a disorder in which breathing halts briefly but repeatedly during sleep. Most people with sleep apnea snore and many are overweight (excess body fat puts an extra burden on the airways). Even mild sleep apnea is associated with high blood pressure, whether overweight or not. Sleeping with a device known as nasal continuous positive airway pressure is the treatment for this condition. As the sleep apnea improves, blood pressure tends to improve as well.

There are also several disorders of the adrenal glands that can cause high blood pressure. The adrenal glands are two small organs that sit above the kidneys and produce several important hormones.

Hyperaldosteronism -- this condition results in excessive amounts of aldosterone, a hormone that helps balance fluid and sodium in the body. It can occur from enlargement of both adrenal glands or a tumor in one of the adrenal glands.

Cushing syndrome -- this is caused by excessive amounts of a steroid hormone called cortisol, produced in the cortex of the adrenal glands. This can be caused by a tumor in the adrenal glands, a tumor in the pituitary gland in the brain, or a cortisol-secreting tumor anywhere else in the body (ectopic Cushing syndrome).

Pheochromocytoma -- in this condition, the adrenal glands produce too much of the hormones that control heart rate and constriction in blood vessels (including the hormone adrenalin). This raises blood pressure. The condition is caused by a tumor in the adrenal medulla -- the center portion of the adrenal gland.
Medications

Certain prescription and over-the-counter drugs can cause temporary high blood pressure, such as:

Corticosteroids -- such as prednisone and prednisolone; long-term use can lead to Cushing syndrome.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) -- long-term use may injure the kidney and is an important cause of secondary hypertension in the elderly. Such drugs include ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Anaprox, Naprosyn, Aleve), and many others.

Cold medicines -- those containing pseudoephedrine increase blood pressure in people with high blood pressure, although they appear to pose no danger for those with normal blood pressure.

Birth control pills -- increase the risk for high blood pressure, particularly in women who are over 35, overweight, smokers, or some combination. Stopping birth control pills nearly always reduces blood pressure within 6 months.

Alcohol, coffee, and cigarettes

Alcohol -- An estimated 10% of high blood pressure cases are caused by alcohol abuse (i.e., three alcoholic drinks a day or more, with heavier drinkers having higher pressure). In one study, binge-drinkers had even higher blood pressure than people who drank regularly. Moderate drinking (one or two drinks a day) may have benefits for the heart and may even protect against some types of stroke. Specifically, red wine may benefit blood pressure. (Red grape juice may have the same advantages.) Despite these benefits, it is critical for people who can't drink moderately to abstain from alcohol.

Smoking -- Smoking is a major contributor to high blood pressure.

Caffeine -- Caffeine causes a temporary increase in blood pressure, which is considered harmless in people with normal blood pressure. However, a high intake of coffee may be harmful in people with high blood pressure. Coffee also increases the body's elimination of calcium, which may negatively affect blood pressure. (Anyone who drinks coffee should maintain an adequate calcium intake.)

Other causes

Temporary high blood pressure can result from a number of other conditions or substances, including:
Stress
Intense workouts (such as snow shoveling, jogging, speed walking, tennis, heavy lifting, heavy gardening)
In adults, exposure to low levels of lead (more studies are needed)
Long-term consumption of large amounts of the herb licorice

A New Disease Has Recognized Facebook Addiction and New Psychological Scale

2013-05-19T12:03:00.000-07:00

Published new researcher in Norway about Facebook addiction,the first of its kind worldwide.They write about their work in the april 2012 issue of the journal Psychological reports.

The new measuring method is called the BFAS ,short for the Begen Facebook Addiction Scale and is the work of Dr.Cecilie Andraessen at the university of Bergen,Norway and colleagues,

Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale

Eventually, Andraessen and colleagues finalized the BFAS to six basic criteria, with participants asked to give one the following 5 responses to each one: (1) Very rarely, (2) Rarely, (3) Sometimes, (4) Often, and (5) Very often:

You spend a lot of time thinking about Facebook or planning how to use it.

You feel an urge to use Facebook more and more.

You use Facebook in order to forget about personal problems.

You have tried to cut down on the use of Facebook without success.

You become restless or troubled if you are prohibited from using Facebook.

You use Facebook so much that it has had a negative impact on your job/studies.

Andreassen and colleagues suggest that scoring "often" or "very often" on at least four of the six items may suggest the respondent is addicted to Facebook.

They found that various personality traits related to the scale: for instance neuroticism and extraversion related positively, and conscientiousness related negatively.

They also found that high scores on the BFAS were linked to going to bed very late and getting up very late.

Six Simple Tips to Prevent Skin Cancer

2013-05-06T03:20:00.002-07:00

There are six tips for early recognizade and dectection of melanoma.As we know melanoma is the most aggressive and dangerous type of skin cancer.more than 12.000 people death each year due to skin cancer.

"While SCCA doctors have developed successful and innovative methods to treat skin cancer, the true fight against melanoma starts with the simple routines each of us do daily to protect our skin," told Dr. Kim Margolin ,He is a professor of medical oncology at the University of Washington School of Medicine.

İt is easy 6 steps to prevent skin cancer.SCCA's skin cancer researchers give advice for the prevention and early detection of skin cancer with tactics

Less sun exposure, as they said .damage of skin occurs over time and research have shown that children tend to get 80 percent of their lifetime exposure by age 18.

Limited the amount of time for you and your children are in the sun, actually between the hours of 11 a.m. and 3 p.m, the experts advised.

They advice using sunscreen. The American Cancer Society recommends daily use of sunscreen with at least an SPF of 30.

Reapply sunscreen every few hours while exposed to the sun, regardless of the SPF and be wary of commonly overlooked areas such as the top of hands, ears and scalp, the experts noted.

Cases of ocular skin cancer have increased dramatically in recent decades.

So, the experts have advised to protect eyes by avoiding excessive exposure to sunlight and wearing sunglasses in bright conditions.

Fair skinned and blue-eyed people are especially susceptible to ocular skin cancers, they said.

People who use tanning beds at least once a month boost their risk of skin cancer by more than 50 percent, especially for younger users, they noted.

They suggest healthy alternatives such as spray tanning and tinted lotions.

Get annual screenings, they recommend. Annual check-ups and regular self-exams are the best tools for early detection.

Be sure to check your skin regularly, especially if you have a family history of skin cancer. Look for changes in moles and freckles, including asymmetry, uneven boarders, varied color, and growth, they said.

Further, they advised to learn family history of skin cancer.

Talk with your doctor about your family history of cancer and other diseases. If skin cancer or melanoma runs in your family you could be at greater risk, they stated.

What is Diabetes ? Causes,Types and Treatment

2013-03-23T07:33:00.002-07:00

Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases which is characterized by imbalance of blood glucose level in otherwise increase blood sugar level.Increasing of blood sugar levels can due to inadequate of insulin production or insulin has loss sensitivity to decreasing blood glucose level.Patients with diabetes has complains about frequent urination which we call polyuria,more thirsty than before (polydipsia) and increase appetite (polyphagia )

There are mainly three specific types of diabetes may seen ;

1) Type 1 Diabetes (İnsulin dependent diabetes )

İn this type of diabetes they are lack of insulin secretion which means pancreas can't produce insulin anymore.for this reason this type of diabetes calls insulin -dependent diabetes.Type 1 diabetes most commonly seen in young children and young adult.

Today increasing range of the getting type 1 diabetes .Approximately 1 in 10 diabetic patient has type 1 diabetes.and most of them have younger age.

Treatment of Type 1 diabetes always need to take insulin injection for the all life.in specific dosage they should use before eating food.and another important factor they should have special diet which has low carbohydrate.

2) Type 2 Diabetes ( İnsulin resistance )
This type of diabetes is more common in elderly people after age of 40,The pancreas does not produce enough insulin or there are insulin but not sensitive to cell receptor.in other definition body do not give reaction to insulin.

About 90% of all cases of diabetes are type 2.Type 2 diabetes may need no treatment in some cases so changing lifestyle and diet may be enough for overcoming to the diabetes.Most commonly symptom which is seen in type 2 diabetes are ;

Losing weight
Polydipsia (often thirsty)

Feeling loss of sensation on the hand
Polyuria ( frequent urination )

İn some patient with diabetes type 2 they can easily control their type 2 diabetes symptoms doing such as losing weight,health diet,regular exercise and regularly testing blood glucose levels.

3) Gestational Diabetes

Gestational diabetes occurs during the pregnancy.The mechanisms of getting diabetes same to the other,body is can't produce enough insulin so insulin has main function to transport glucose into the cells so if there are enough insulin secretion and more glucose can't go to inside of the cells so than rising levels of blood glucose

Diagnosis of gestational diabetes is made on their pregnancy term with blood test.İn most case they can control blood glucose level with exercise and good diet.İf gestational diabetes is undiagnosed during the pregnancy there are risk of increase baby weight higher than normal.
