IMPORTANT MEDICAL BITS

SOME USEFUL BITS

1.WARFARIN PREVENTS CANCER

Recent research has proved that the anticoagulant warfarin which is used for cardiovascular problems such as arrhythmias, stroke, and heart attacks can also be used to prevent the formation of cancer cells. This is acted by blocking AXL receptor tyrosine kinase and thereby inhibiting a vitamin-K dependant protein known as G.A.S-6.   This G.A.S-6 is a Growth Stop (or suppress) Specific gene coding protein. It is a gamma-carboxy glutamic acid domain-containing protein. Warfarin inhibits this gene coding protein and thereby blocking the spreading of cancer cells.

2.CREATININE

Creatinine is a metabolic waste of an amino acid called creatine. Low creatinine level is a matter of concern. Creatine is an amino acid formed from the body muscle and from the food. The body uses creatine as energy. Decreased creatinine levels in the blood indicate muscle weakness, underweight, and liver problems. But a decreased level of blood-creatinine is normal in the older age and lean body.

3.SUGAR DRINKS

Doctors warn that just two sugary drinks per week may considerably increase blood sugar to a level of concern.

4. TEEN MOTHERS AT RISK 

The American Heart Association in their journal has published an article. In that article, they said that women who become mothers for the first time at their teenage are at higher risks of getting heart diseases. But there are fewer risks if a woman attains their first motherhood at normal old age.

5.DIABETIC ITCHING

It is not necessarily only diabetes may cause itching. There may be other reasons but diabetes can surely produce severe itching particularly on hands and feet.

The main reason is high blood glucose levels will damage peripheral nerves which leads to diabetic polyneuropathy. Before the nerve damage occurs there are high secretions of cytokines which are inflammatory substances will lead to itching and reddening of the skin particularly at hands and feet

6.ANTIBIOTIC DANGERS

A piece of recent research information has warned that there are wrong uses of antibiotics that are rising to dangerous levels. Because of this even a powerful antibiotic like colistin becomes resisted by most of the gram-negative bacteria. India tops first in the consumption of antibiotics followed by China and the U.S.

7. SOYBEANS INCREASES THE RISK OF ADVANCED PROSTATE CANCER

 Eating soy meal is a favorite regular food but it looks not good for men. According to recent research the components of the soy known as Isoflavones produce advanced prostate cancer. These isoflavones are estrogen-like compounds. Hence they may produce negative effects on men.

8.HARD AND BRISK WALKING - GOOD FOR AGED WOMEN

 Women who took hard exercises such as brisk walking may increase their life span more when compared with those who are not so active. A U.S.research team has found out that.

9.BLOOD FLOW AND MEMORY POWER

A study led by researchers of Vanderbilt University, in Nashville, Tennesee has shown that older adults with low blood flow from the heart are tied to reduced brain blood flow which will affect their memory power. 

10. INSOMNIA IDENTITY MAY HARMS MORE THAN INSOMNIA

Recent sleep research by the psychiatrist Kenneth Lichstein, professor of psychology at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa reveals that worrying insomnia dos more harmful effects to the body than insomnia itself. Hence do not worry about insomnia. Take it sportively.
