Rest as crucial as exercise for fitness

drdavinder — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 16:22:45 +0000

(IANS) / 20 January 2013

Brief rests, alternating with bouts of exercise, are crucial in maintaining fitness, allowing muscles to recover and help shape up the body faster, says a new study.

The research by University of Stirling, Scotland, split cyclists into two groups. One did bursts of high intensity exercise interspersed with short rest periods three times each week.

In each session, they pedalled hard but below sprint pace for four minutes and then stopped for two minutes before repeating the pattern five times.

The second group rode continuously for an hour at a slightly easier pace, three times a week. After four weeks, the two groups swapped programmes, the Daily Mail reports.

Tests showed the first programme, which involved a mixture of tough training and taking it easy, to be the most beneficial, leading to twice as big an improvement in power and performance.

Exercise physiologist Stuart Galloway from the university, said: ‘It is a case of training smarter. We found in these cyclists that if you can make the hard sessions harder and the easy sessions easier, you are likely to see better progress.’

‘Amateur athletes tend to spend a lot of their training in the moderate intensity bracket, which showed smaller improvements in our study. For the wider public, most people were advised to do moderate intensity exercise for around three hours a week.’

Blood test predicts breast cancer recurrence

drdavinder — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 16:19:47 +0000

A simple blood test could tell whether the commonest form of breast cancer will recur post therapy, sparing women unwanted treatment with anti-cancer drugs.

"If we can accurately predict which women are at high risk of breast cancer recurrence, it gives the physicians and oncologists treating these women time to design a more aggressive therapy in the hopes of preventing the cancer from coming back," said researcher Sambasivarao Damaraju, from University of Alberta, Canada.

"Treatment strategies could be tailor-made for these women based on their genetic make-up and how susceptible it makes them to breast cancer recurrence," said Damaraju, the journal Public Library of Science ONE reports.

The kit, which is being developed in Canada, focuses on something called luminal A breast cancer - the most common form of the disease and the type generally thought to have the best prognosis, according to the Daily Mail.

However, with it making up around 60 per cent of the 50,000 cases of breast cancer diagnosed each year, it still accounts for a substantial number of relapses and deaths.

Alberta researchers tested blood samples taken from women when they had been diagnosed with breast cancer years previously.

The new test could spare some women unnecessary treatment for cancer.

Comparing the DNA of samples taken from women whose cancer had returned with DNA of samples from women who had remained in remission, indicated the possibility of the cancer recurring.

Canadian researchers believe their technique will be more accurate as it uses the DNA a person is born with to work out if their predisposition to breast cancer.

Loneliness taxes your immune system

drdavinder — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 16:17:31 +0000

Don't take loneliness lightly -- it could harm your immune system and health, says a new study.

Loneliness spurs production of proteins signalling the presence of inflammation, linked to coronary heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, arthritis and Alzheimer's disease, as well as the frailty and functional decline that can accompany aging, say researchers.

"It is clear from previous research that poor-quality relationships are linked to a number of health problems, including premature mortality and all sorts of other very serious health conditions," says Lisa Jaremka, postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Behavioural Medicine Research at the Ohio State University, who led the research.

"One reason this type of research is important is to understand how loneliness and relationships broadly affect health. The more we understand about the process, the more potential there is to counter those negative effects -- to perhaps intervene," adds Jaremka, according to an Ohio statement.

The results are based on a series of studies conducted with two populations: a healthy group of overweight middle-aged adults and a group of breast cancer survivors.

The researchers measured loneliness in all studies using the University of California Los Angeles Loneliness Scale, a questionnaire that assesses perceptions of social isolation and loneliness.

Jaremka presented the research at the Society for Personality and Social Psychology annual meeting in New Orleans.

Irregular beats spell higher risk of kidney failure

drdavinder — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 16:15:34 +0000

The risk of kidney failure is greater for people with chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially those suffering from atrial fibrillation - a common form of irregular heart beats in adults, says a study.

The findings by the researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), and Kaiser Permanente Northern California Division of Research could open the way to new approaches, with improved outcomes for CKD patients.

Those who suffer with CKD or end-stage renal disease commonly have atrial fibrillation and tend to have a stroke or to die. However, the long-term impact of atrial fibrillation on kidney function among CKD patients has been unknown, the journal Circulation reports.

The new study involved 206,229 CKD patients who were drawn from members of Kaiser Permanente Northern California, a large integrated health care delivery system, according to an UCSF statement.

Over the course of about five years, approximately 16,400 patients developed atrial fibrillation, and those who did were 67 percent more likely to progress to end-stage renal disease compared with patients who had CKD, but did not develop atrial fibrillation.

"These novel findings expand on previous knowledge by highlighting that atrial fibrillation is linked to a worse kidney prognosis in patients with underlying kidney dysfunction," said kidney specialist Nisha Bansal, assistant professor of Nephrology at UCSF.

"There is a knowledge gap about the long-term impact of atrial fibrillation on the risk of adverse kidney-related outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease," said senior study co-author Alan S. Go, director of the Comprehensive Clinical Research Unit at the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research.

'Good gut bugs keep diabetes at bay'

drdavinder — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 16:13:43 +0000

The staggering number of good bugs in our lower intestine not only ensure good health but may also help ward off diabetes, researchers say.

These bugs help us digest our food and provide us with energy and vitamins and help ward off the 'bad guys' such as Salmonella that cause infections.

Research groups led by Jayne Danska, from the Sick Children's Hospital, University of Toronto and Andrew Macpherson in the Clinic for Visceral Surgery and Medicine, University of Bern have now shown that the influence of the intestinal bacteria extends even deeper inside the body to influence the likelihood of getting diabetes.

"We hope that our new understanding of how intestinal bacteria may protect susceptible children from developing diabetes will allow us to start to develop new treatments to stop children getting the disease," says Macpherson, according to a Toronto statement.

In children and young people, diabetes is caused by the immune cells of the body damaging the special cells in the pancreas that produce the hormone insulin. By chance, 30 years ago, before the development of genetic engineering techniques, Japanese investigators noticed that a strain of NOD lab mice tended to get diabetes.

These mice (also by chance) have many of the same genes that make some humans susceptible to the disease. With the help of the special facilities of the University of Bern and in Canada, these teams have been able to show that the intestinal bacteria, especially in male mice, can produce biochemicals and hormones that stop diabetes developing.

New discovery shows flip-flopping brain cells possible

drdavinder — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 16:09:08 +0000

It is possible to convert one type of brain cell into another, which could pave way for improved therapies for Alzheimer’s, Harvard scientists have discovered.

The discovery “tells you that maybe the brain is not as immutable as we always thought, because at least during an early window of time one can re-programme the identity of one neuronal class into another,” said Paola Arlotta, from Harvard’s Department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology.

Arlotta and Caroline Rouaux have proven that neurons too can change their mind, journal Nature Cell Biology reported.

Arlotta targeted callosal projection neurons, which connect the two hemispheres of the brain, and turned them into neurons similar to corticospinal motor neurons, one of two populations of neurons destroyed in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.

To achieve such reprogramming of neuronal identity, the researchers used a transcription factor called Fezf2, which long as been known for playing a central role in the development of corticospinal neurons in the embryo.

What makes the finding even more significant is that the work was done in the brains of living mice, rather than in collections of cells in laboratory dishes.

The mice were young, so researchers still do not know if neuronal reprogramming will be possible in older laboratory animals — and humans.

If it is possible, this has enormous implications for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

“Neurodegenerative diseases typically effect a specific population of neurons, leaving many others untouched. For example, in ALS it is corticospinal motor neurons in the brain and motor neurons in the spinal cord, among the many neurons of the nervous system, that selectively die,” Arlotta said.

“What if one could take neurons that are spared in a given disease and turn them directly into the neurons that die off? In ALS, if you could generate even a small percentage of corticospinal motor neurons, it would likely be sufficient to recover basic functioning,” she said in a statement.

There is no cure to allergy accordingly modern science! Though, Ayurveda is different! According to Ayurveda when the whole body is full of toxins, the allergy arises! If we expel the toxins by detoxifying therapy of Panchakarma, the allergy subsides!

In the case of allergic bronchitis or asthma, first of all patient is followed three days hot water fast (Upavas)! The body will dissolve the Aam, kuf dosha(Toxins). Secondly, we do vamana or basti therapy of Panchakarma as per dosha and season. Then we advise ayurvedic medicines as cap.
