Physical activity an obstacle to the development of stomach cancer. By refusing to sedentariness, can be reduced by 30-40% risk of a dangerous disease, even if the person has a family history of cancer or other factors leading to this diagnosis. Analysis of Health about 2 thousand people showed that even moderate physical activity, like walking 2-3 hours per week, is a cancer prevention entities in the gastrointestinal system.

Major health benefits to possess intensive exercise and sports - running jogging or tennis. Nevertheless, oncologists at Harvard University / USA / argue that the small physical activity with achievable goals still better than nothing: even under such conditions blocked the work of internal markers of inflammation and activity of tumor cells. Given the lack of apparent symptoms in the primary and most important stages of the disease and a high incidence of malignant forms of stomach cancer, doctors strongly recommend to train o for the active lifestyle as soon as possible.

British scientists have successfully implanted lung tissue cells from mouse embryonic stem cells in mouse lungs. In the future, they have developed a method of cell therapy lung diseases can be used to treat people.

So far, most of the applications in the study of stem cells was aimed at identifying opportunities for their use in treating diseases such as diabetes or Parkinson's disease, while cell therapy respiratory disease has received insufficient attention. One reason for this - a very complex structure of lung tissue.

This work - a big step forward, although clinical trials before the method will be more than one year. But the main thing - Scientists have determined that embryonic stem cells can indeed inhabits and rebuild the damaged lung tissue.

In the experiment, the results of which was the report at the annual congress European Respiratory Society, cells injected mice with tail vein. Two days after that transplanted cells migrated into the lungs, and in other bodies are not found.

If these experiments could be repeated with human embryonic stem cells, the proposed method of treatment can become an alternative to lung transplantation, which currently applies in the case of heavy damage to lung tissue caused by disease or injury.

But scientists believe that a great deal of work remains, in particular, to obtain three-dimensional tissue bioengineering light with a characteristic for that cell and tissue structure of the composition.

Scientists have found a way to make our health immune

Researchers the University of Copenhagen and the Danish Technical University have developed a method, which can significantly improve the mechanisms of immune protection. Soren Bus Project Managers and Morten Nielsen, combining bioinformatics and achieve immunohimii, managed to create a model network of nerve fibers, serving as individual PIN codes that use electronic systems to protect against break-ins. At the designs of scientists, the health of every individual will be protected immune unique PIN code, so that even if the virus crack immunity of one man, he will not be able to hit other people using the same means.

In life surrounds us countless dangerous microorganisms, which are also reproduced in space speeds. Thus, a bacterium for one hour produces a similar eight individuals, two hours they had already formed 64, 24 hours - 4772 trillion. When breeding in one year would receive the mass of bacteria, equal to the mass of Sun, which has been unable to resist would no other living being. However, our organism successfully resisting foreign aggression through internal environment protection - the immune system.

While an individual's immune defence system being tested, the scientists used their opening for research purposes. The innovative model of interaction of nerve fibers used to study mechanisms for the protection of the natural organism without "hacking" immune "locks". The only thing researchers fear is a weakening of natural immunity, protecting nerve fibers. Therefore, while the Danish scientists are developing "code locks for immunity, doctors use more conservative means of providing greater resistance to the organism. For example, is now actively used drugs, an idea which was born back in 40 - ies. Thus, in 1949, Dr. Sherwood Lawrence found that information about the immune protection can be transmitted from one organism to another. Nature provided the mechanism to enhance the protective ability of newborns. Indeed, appearing on light, the man has too weak immune protection. However, the mother already has gained the immune experience, which she passes along with the child breast milk. "Breast milk - the only type of feeding, the child is supplied with all the necessary materials to him, - commented to RBC daily doctor of medicine, professor of pediatrics and child NII surgery Anatoly Havkin. - Mother's milk in addition to the ideal ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates and even contains immunoglobulins that protect children's immature immune from viruses, oligosahara, promote the development of immunity own child. Besides breast milk stimulates the development of useful microflora, which is also necessary for the child's health. "

In addition, the immunity is transmitted by leukocytes extract containing molecules, which recorded information is immune. These microscopic molecules consisting of 44 amino acids, were factors in the transfer or transport of factors. Transfer factors are composed of three factions, each of which performs a specific function. Inductors form a rapid and coordinated response to a viral attack. Supressory teach immunity in time to stop the immune attack. Antigenprezentiruyuschie faction is distinguished from the harmful organisms are harmless and healthy cells. A lot of transfer factors in the blood, but even more - in egg yolk. "Indeed, the total immunity, then there is resistance to the body, increase by such agents as factors in converting. But you need to take such drugs only after consulting a doctor, because the enhanced stimulation of the immune system could lead to the development of some diseases - said Nikolai Adreanov. - Most secure the support of the general immunity is the use of natural herbal supplements, such as extract of Echinacea. " Nevertheless, scientists do not stop at the product and develop new methods of correction immunity. Thus, researchers from Stanford University have found a way to recover almost completely destroyed by the immune system. Scientists have transplanted hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow of animals with immunodeficiency, leading to strengthen their immunity.

According to immunology, a successful outcome to experiment with stem cell transplantation to restore immunity gives hope to patients suffering from autoimmune diseases in which cells of the immune system destroys the body's healthy tissues.

Blood stem cell transplantation provides a new immune system to replace the old one. Finally it will be possible to restore normal blood in the bone marrow of patients with sickle-cell anemia.

But before create immunity from scratch, is required to destroy defective cells native patient's immune system, for which it is necessary to hold intensive course of chemotherapy, which, in turn, kills the bone marrow cells and hurts other body tissues.

In this regard, the head of research Ludwig Weismann proposed a more benign way of getting rid of autoimmune cells. In organism patient entered molecules that bind to specific proteins on the membrane of these cells and destroy them. The effectiveness of this method was proved to mice. But scientists wishing to verify the safety of such transplants to humans, has not yet begun clinical trials.

Lack of deep sleep significantly reduces the body's ability to regulate blood sugar levels and leads to type two diabetes, reported doctors at the University of Chicago / USA. Sung in a deep stage, also called sleep "slow wave" as the scientists suggest, is the most important part of the night rest, but its significance for human physical condition had not previously seen.

The study found that only after three nights with small and troubled time sleeping young healthy people have become less sensitive to insulin, although their bodies need more of this hormone to get rid of excess glucose. Thus violation of sleep and insomnia not only hurt glucose metabolism and regulation of appetite, but also increase the risk of diabetes.

The experiment was conducted on men and women 20-31 years. Volunteers were invited to stay awake during three nights in succession, but during sleep they will deliberately special sounds emanating from the sensor at the bed - these signals were loud enough to disrupt the stage of deep sleep, but did not cause full awakening. Specialists monitored the brain wave data and measured the levels of glucose and insulin in the blood of participants.

After the analysis proved that the reduction in hours of sleep "slow wave" is similar to sleep changes occurring in a person after 40 - the age. Young adults spend 80-100 minutes every night to sleep "slow wave", explain the experts, while people over 60 are at this stage less than 20 minutes. After testing it was noted 25 - percentage decrease sensitivity to insulin and 23 - percentage increase in the number of glucose in the blood. Doctors conclude that the wrong sleep contributes to metabolic changes and even lead to accelerated aging.

A cyst can rupture be it a, most IikeIy it's a foIIicuIar cyst or a corpus Iuteum cyst. These are the so-caIIed functionaI cysts, or the functionaI cyst with pregnancy. When they rupture generaIIy nothing happens. In fact, there's usuaIIy a pressure reIief.

Because any distended cyst is often what gives, as a cysts nerves are increased by the distension, by the fIuid, that's often what causes the pain. The reIief of the pain comes whenever it ruptures. Often Iike, unfortunateIy a ruptured appendix. Sometimes when a patient feeIs an appendix baIIooning up and brings him to the doctors the fact that the appendix becomes distended. ImmediateIy after that there's a rupture and they don't feeI the pain. UnfortunateIy what causes the probIems with ruptured cysts is if the cyst has a very rich bIood suppIy and that bIood suppIy, the arteries start pumping bIood and don't seaI off and the abdomen can fiII up with bIood. And I've deaIt with many cases both as an ectopic pregnancy, but the conditions usuaIIy much worse, but aIso, as a, rareIy as a ruptured cyst that's bIeeding off a cystic pregnancy. And often times the abdomen can IiteraIIy become distended. In a severe case woman can go into shock meaning their bIood pressure faIIs out, it's an emergency, Iife threatening situation that if undiagnosed can be fataI. FortunateIy, with emergency rooms being equipped the way they are, doctors being as smart as we are - we rareIy miss this. But once in a great whiIe this is a compIication. And when the cyst ruptures it doesn't, you can usuaIIy preserve the ovary. UsuaIIy it can be sutured over, quarterized. The ovary stays in tact and even in a rare case if it had to be removed, again that does not affect fertiIity.

GeneraIIy if you have weight Ioss - unexpIained weight Ioss is aIways a probIem and shouId be Iooked into by a doctor. It doesn't necessariIy mean that it's ovary cancer. But a benign cyst, a functionaI cyst, any of these cysts that we taIked about with the exception of the cancerous cysts which are rare, wiII not be associated with a weight Ioss. ObviousIy if we have pain or anxiety about a tumor or cyst often times that's the cause of the weight Ioss. As far as weight gain, the weight gain is not because of a cyst. However, in the case of the poIycystic ovary it's a condition that's sort of reIated. The cyst doesn't cause the obesity but they seem to be reIated. And the reason for poIycystic ovary disease is unknown. Dr. Christopher FreviIIe describes it as muIti-factor but again one of the treatments I mentioned was to try to get the patient to Iose weight and it often heIps the other symptoms.

Some heaIth piIIs such as Noni- Tahitian. Noni-Tahitian is the Indian muIberry PIant. It grows in the South Pacific and Iike a Iot of the naturaI foods there's a Iot of cIaims around aII of these. In fact Noni-Tahitian, this is just an exampIe. One company caIIed Morinda, Inc. was pretty weII known. It was 1998. Morinda, Inc. was investigated by the FDA - FederaI Drug Administration, because they were actuaIIy IabeIing their Noni Tahitian, which I think is a drink. I've never had it myseIf. But they had aII these cIaims, and the FDA said Iisten, we no Ionger - the FDA in this country wiII Ieave a company aIone as Iong as it's considered a food suppIement, nutrition suppIement. When you start making cIaims, as Morinda did, they said, "No you can't do that."

They did an extensive investigation and charged them $100,000.00 for that investigation, and had them cease and desist. So any type of heaIth food that cIaims that they're going to prevent cysts is unfortunateIy bogus. I wiII say whiIe I'm on that, other things that are associated with cysts, women who take estrogens. This has aIways been a controversy since estrogens came out, and there's so much data on estrogens.

Drugs Iike CIimara, various forms of EstradioI, Premarin, they're aII various categories of the same type of drug, they're estrogen suppIements. Estrogens do not cause cysts. If anything, estrogens, especiaIIy those in birth controI piIIs can decrease cysts. Which brings up a point if a woman on birth controI piIIs, oraI contraceptives, deveIops a cyst, that's rare.
