A STEP AHEAD TO RETAIN VISION

A STEP AHEAD TO RETAIN VISION

There is a good news for the people who lost their vision.By the Columbia University Medical Researches a new gene theraphy for the peoples having retinitis pigmentosa.
Retinitis pigmentosa is an eye disease due to the damage of retina, which found in most of the people.Retina is the inner layer tissue found in the back of the inner eye.

Function of the retina is to convert the light images to nerve signals and the sends them to the brain.It can be a genetic diorder which is found in all the persons of the family.
Rodswhich are  responsible for controlling night vision are easily affected by this disorder.Damage of retinal cone may occur in some of the cases. 

The main symptoms of the disease is the presense of dark spots in the retina.It can affect a single person in 4000 peoples in the united states.
A new development to convert skin cells into retinal cells is the induced pluripotent stem cell technology.Late this can be deployed as a patient model for disease study and preclinical resting.

LABLES MAY LEADS TO LEAVE SMOKING

LABLES MAY LEADS TO LEAVE SMOKING

Warning signs on cigarettes packets may influence the urge smokers to leave smoking said by scientists.
Warning lables may vary from country to country but the emotional and psychological feelings are same to make smokers to quit it said by study lead author, Hua-Hie young, PhD.

For the people who have attention towards the lables, by seeing it they can came to know the risks in smoking and they were least attracted towards the ciggarates.
But the persons dont have any attraction with lables they will say that those risks were exaggreted they will also mention that they enjoy smoking.

By a telephone survey carried out by the researches in United states,Australia  Canada and United Kingdom,it is around 5000 peoples were taken equally as 43% from each country.
The study is based on the awarness of warning lables, whether they had a thought to quit it or not, how many ciggarates will they smoke in a day, whether they avoided warnings or not and some demogrphic informations about them.

For this the international tobacco control survey four-country survey, who make the study over assessing the impact of tobacco control policies over the world.
In that survey it was said that the smokers will smoke 17 ciggaretes for a day and about 37% peoples reported that they had a thought to leave smoking at least once in a one year of study.

Noticing is the first step to quit smoking.It is also suggested to the policy makers that,thy should make the warning lables large, graphic and animatic on ciggaretes.
Mass media campaigns should be made for smoking like other health warnings

A NEW CAUSE OF OBESITY

A NEW CAUSE OF OBESITY

By recent study it was explained that with a constant caloric intake, there is an rise obesity due to the reduction of exercises and also increased BMI.
By the above study taken in national wide it explains that the above reason is the cause of obesity to the young womans.

From the analysis of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data by the researchers of US Stanford University it was mentioned that the womans with no physical activity had rised from 19.1% to 51.7% during 1994to 2010.

And the men with no physical activity had rised from 11.4% to 43.5% between 1994 to 2010.
Uri Ladabaum,M.D said that the abdominal obesity prevalence increased among the over-weighted and normal weighted.

However it controvesial among the normal-weighted but it will increase the molrtality rate in over-weighted. But now in trends there is light of risks but there will be in the increase in the waist circumference and independent of BMI.

Pamela Powers Hannely, Managing Director of  American journal of medicine suggested that the some more efforts are needed to safe the places of physical activity and should supply healthy food and should give power to the Americans to take care of health.

Avoid Smart Phone it Makes Stress

Avoid Smart Phone it Makes Stress

In the latest meet of International Society of Endocrinology and Endocrine Society in chicago , a new reasearch  on the testing of stress hormone coristol measure.

In the presentation of ICE/ENDO it is said that by a simple tube, some software and a saliva sample we can mesure the stress hormone levels.

Lead investigator Dr. Joel Ehernkranz, director of diabeties and endocrinology said that one can measure the stress hormone by using the smartphone in an easy and an inexpensive way.
Ehernkrank at intermountain healthcare inMurray, Utay also said that the parsts of united states and rest world thats lacks facilities can use this smartphone test at a cost $5 and it is suitable for all type phones.

This diagonistic test can help us to find out the disorders likeexcess or reduction of the hormone coristol, it is very useful to the people across the globe.

The researches said that they introduced this unexpensive and easy smartphone test for the people to check their coristol level at any time and at any place whenever they want by using their cellphones.

It is an unbreakable and reusable device consists of a case, a light pipe and a lens but it doen't need any battery power.

A NEW WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT

A NEW WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT

By taking large content of protein instead of fats and carbohydrates will help to reduce our weight.It was revealed by the research on animal.

There is no changes in the apetite system when the nutrition requirement is balanced and satisfied.But many foods does not have a blanced amount of protiens and carbohydrates.

\
When we take fats and carbohydrates in right proportion it will balance the 20% of need of proteins. Spider monkeys,orang utans, humans should prefer proeins instead of fats and carbohydrates, it was the reason for the increase of obesity cases in the wetern world.

Professor Raubenhime had gave a suggestion to avoid processed foods, whilst, he also mentioned that no people had avoided the ultra processed foods in recent days. These ultra processed foods were made from the industrial sugars, starches and salts, which make us to consume it more and more.

HEALTH ADVANTAGES FOUND IN ADIPONECTIN

HEALTH ADVANTAGES FOUND IN ADIPONECTIN

By a new study the  secret in the human body is revealed which is the hormone adiponectin secreted by the bone marrow fat tissues where responsible for the more number of benefits.
In another study which is led by the Michigan university says this hormone will help us in the insulin sensitivity maintanence, reduction of fat, cardio vasclar related problems,diabeties and obesity related cancers.

They are important findings as they are found in adipose tissue of the bone marrow, they also play a protective role and also influencing role during calorie restriction, said by Ormand MacDougald Ph.D.
The notable thing is that these adipose tissue and adiponectin can be increased in humans having anorexia, chemotheraphy patients , patients undergoing radiation treatment for ovarian or endometrical cancer.

William Cawthon Ph.D also said that the adipose tissue had bad reputation in past as it decrease the bone mass but now it serves as a endocrine organ which influence the metabolism.

Donate Blood Save Your Life FROM CARDIAC DISEASE

Donate Blood Save Your Life FROM CARDIAC DISEASE

For shift workers there is a important news by donating blood you can avoid heart diseases. Austrain reasearches had found that jetlag has an unbearable effect on red blood cells and also deals with heart disease.

But this effect can be reduced or balanced by new, fresh red blood cells which can be produced by blood donating.This blood donating may protect the shift workers from heat disease.

In Austria scientist Dr. Margit Egg had worked on Zebra fish in a active day which is similar to human in activities. This fish can work minimum seven from maximum 21 hour as like that of the shift workers.
The Egg also explain that they jetlagged animals will have large number of old red blood cells. This large blood cells may get strucked in the spleen and liver and there they encounter the WBC cells.

Usually in our body there is a balance between the removed old cells and newly produced cells. But jetlag affect this removal process and increase the count of the old cells.It paved the way to heart diseases.

This is one of main reason for the heart problems of the shift workers. There is also another effect when the function of the cells decreased it will reduce the oxygen carring capavbity of the cells.
The zebrafishes are lessly affected by the jetlag since they were simultaneously exposed to the oxygen was limiting which is known as hypoxia.

This hypoxia will give rise to the production of new red blood cells.Which is observed in erythropoitein, the production of the cells is an rhythemic activity and it is get changes during hypoxia conditions.

UNHEALTHY FOODS OR JUNG FOODS

UNHEALTHY FOODS OR JUNG FOODS

Most of us use a packet of chips and a chilled soda for our instant energy.We used to prefer something sweet and sugary in stressed and pressurised time.
But most of didn't know that it was nature of food, which makes u as a addict to unhealthy food  and which is named as jung food.

We are just attracted by its packaging even before knowing that we are just just having the unhealthy fats, salts and sugars.
Now we can have a look of some unhealthy jung foods.

Processed baked foods: A whole pack of bunched foods mostly contain a compound called fructose corn syrup which can cause repercussions as equally as drug abuse.
It is also contain refined flour which is harmful to human health.

Soda drinks: It is a combination of addictive receipe which includes high fructose corn syrup and caffine. Continuos consumption of these drinks may affect teeth and bones.
Caffine may also damage the central nervous system which can cause physical dependence.

Potato chips: Some of us have becamed slaves for the potato chips enriched with sodium and oil. 
But according to scientists, when we are taking that chips, our body  will send some signals to nervous system and make us to consume it more.

French Fries: Few of us used to take greasy potato fries, but we doen't know that it will affect our brain just like the ciggarates and drugs.
It contains high level of salts which gives the temptation to eat.

Ice creams: Most of the people love to take ice creams, but we didn't know that it is an jung food with full of fats, calories, frutose corn syrup.

White bread: The white bread consists of more carbohydrates wher used to prepare cakes, pastas etc may cause ur body unhealthy, given by the American journal of clinical nutrition.
It also make us to feel more hunger.

Chewing Gum: Some people will prefer chewing gum to reduce hunger.
But we didn't know that it will make us to consume more jung food.By a research it was told that consumers of chewing gum will prefer jung food over fruits.

Reprountion Of Corneas to Restrict Blindness

Reprountion Of Corneas to Restrict Blindness

From the reports of the mail online it was noted that the scientists had found the new way to cure the blindness by the regrowth of the corneal cells.

In us they had found stem cells which are responsible for the regrowth of the cornea, which is the layer found in the front of the eye. They also successfully used it to the mice for the growth of the corneal tissue.

This stem cells are also called as Limbal stem cell, which is used basically in the regrowth of the cornea.
But after number of experiments it is found that Abcb5 protein is placed on the surface of the LCSs. 
This protein is used as the marker for the LCS. They had also transplanted the human LCS to the mice which lacks these cells and it alsodeveloped cornea in five weeks and it was maintained for one year.

No it was created a new hope to use in in human corneal transplants, to reproduce the cornea and lead it into success.

It is also depend on the condition in which they are being treated and also its success rates. Corneal transplants success rate is ranging from 60% to 90%.
But some more additional researches and tests are required even before they are treated in human beings

REGROWTH OF CORNEAL TISSUE

REGROWTH OF CORNEAL TISSUE

New researches have identified to grow the corneas from the adult derived stem cell which are used to restore the human vision.
In the identification process a molecule called ABCB5 actas a marker to find the limbal stem cells.
We can find this limbal stem cells in the eye bal's limbal epithelium, it is also knowns as limbus, which can help to maintain and reproduce the corneal tissue.The loss of limbal stem cells may leads to blindness

Researches have made to grow the stem cells which is taked from the deceased donor and it as regrowed anatomically in which antibodies are used to ABCB5 to zero in the stem cells of the donor.
Bruce Ksander from the us Massachusetts eye and ear infirmary said that " The limals stem cells transplantation is rare and which is detetermined by the rare cells of the stem cells.

Ksander also said that" This research is an example of the researches based on the transplantation and it is also used in easy restoring of the corneal surface.
Through a mouse model it is found that the molecule ABCB5 also occur in the limbal stem cells. Which is responsible for the maintanence, survival, corneal development and repair.

If a mice lose its ABCB5 gene will contain less number of limal stem cells, also the corneas are healed very poorly.

Markus Frank from the us Boson childrens hospital had also noted that the stem cells are responsible for the survival of the limbal stem cells, also protect it from the apoptosis.
