			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In February 2006, researchers reported that many women suffer from heart disease fundamentally different and the people are simply lacked standardized tests. In addition, women are not treated earlier than men, and hearts of women and small blood vessels are easily damaged. Another possible reason is that the disease itself seems to be otherwise. Consequently, women are less likely to survive a heart attack than men. Many women are unaware that cardiovascular disease and stroke as the top killers of women worldwide are caused.<span id="more-47"></span></p>
<p>Researchers have found that there are women, but for the development of the hand in blockages of the arteries, the blood to the heart, the plate evenly inside the major arteries and collected in the smaller blood vessels. In other cases, the arteries do not expand properly or go into spasm, often at times of physical or emotional stress. These abnormalities are very common in younger women, which can be dangerous because it could threaten the life trigger heart attacks.</p>
<p>Instead of the classic crushing chest pain, sweating and shortness of breath, they often complain of nonspecific symptoms like fatigue, upset stomach or pain in the jaw or shoulders. This probably explains why some women suddenly have heart attacks, even though their arteries look clear and in some cases, doctors were also sent home without treatment or refer them to psychiatrists. Even if they receive medical treatment, these women do not benefit from May to conventional drugs or therapies such as bypass surgery and angioplasty to open clogged arteries once again. In many cases, these women whose arteries looked clear in the normal tests, a significantly higher risk of heart attack or die within four or five years. The changes could be due to the fact that react hormonal or genetic differences change how their arteries. In America, no less than three million women may suffer from these conditions.</p>
<p>Despite this new evidence that many women have the same type of heart disease than men, and they have the same preventive measures and treatments that help people: a healthy diet and weight, regular exercise and lower blood pressure and cholesterol. It was unclear how the best doctors in such circumstances can be resolved, but these new results provide an important understanding of a major health problem, and women receive and their doctors about the events of replacement disease.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If both eyes do not point in a different direction, you&#8217;re probably squinting. Internalization of eyes as convergent strabismus or eye-cons &#8220;, usually occur in children. Any deviation instrabismus when the eyes are turning to the outside is less common. Even if it is not painful,strabismus is a worrying state. Many adults are concerned about their appearance, and nearly four in every 100 adults suffer from some form of strabismus. Maybe want it just as an aesthetic angle, but there is also a physical disability that often accompanies this condition, loss of eye-hand coordination, things come when ascending, descending stairs or curbs or cross the street, driving and exercise.<span id="more-13"></span></p>
<p>Many adults who suffer from strabismus are not aware that help is at hand. The good news is that does not necessarily suffer adults. In recent years an increase has become more efficient treatment option.</p>
<p>The main treatments are used, botulinum toxin and / or surgery of eye muscles. Botox has become &#8220;the injection of the day, people more and more ease in the footsteps of celebrities in their pasture. But few people realize that the medical use of Botox was originally developed for the treatment eye, strabismus. Today, a simple injection can correct many expressions ugly eye.</p>
<p>This is an outpatient procedure that requires only a few drops of anesthetic and takes about 30 seconds. &#8220;Processing Botox is a real difference for many patients, not done. It will help to reorient not only the eyes, can increase confidence and social skills. This is not just a cosmetic thing, but it may affect your employment prospects, &#8220;said Christopher Bentley, a consultant ophthalmologist.</p>
<p>But Botox is safe?<br />
After the surgeon should bear this in strabismus &#8220;&#8221; treatment, Botox is the treatment of choice for facial muscle spasms, and studies have repeatedly shown it is effective and safe. The target muscle is injected with a very fine needle. The services begin in one to 14 days after treatment and may, on average, about three to four months, then you can to shelter in place. All effects of the toxin reverse eventually with time. A number of studies have side-effects are confirmed in the vast majority of applications, minor, and they are certainly related to dose. The botulinum toxin administered to treat strabismus heavily diluted. Some reported side effects are flu-like symptoms are pain at the injection site, headache and muscle weakness, but they are usually mild and transient. In addition, sutures for surgery of strabismus in adults adjustable. Surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and a few stitches are not penalties. If strabismus after surgery still exist are given a few drops of local anesthetic and set the stitches before the eyes are in the correct position. &#8220;This is a relatively recent development and a very useful tool to help the surgeon to refine the operation,&#8221; said Bentley.</p>
<p>The nature and extent of surgery lead to strabismus some requiring specific preoperative decision and requires careful planning and precise surgical forecasting operating results. &#8220;The operational objectives to achieve realignment of the muscles of the eyes, if necessary, proper functioning and appearance,&#8221; said Bentley.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>U. S. Surgeon General Richard H. Carmona today released a new comprehensive report on smoking and health, revealed for the first time that smoking causes diseases in nearly every organ in the body. Published 40 years after the first report of the Surgeon General on Smoking &#8211; the conclusion that smoking was a cause some of three serious diseases &#8211; this new report shows that smoking is conclusively to diseases such as leukemia, cataracts, pneumonia and cancers of the cervix related, kidneys, pancreas and stomach.<span id="more-27"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;We have known for decades that smoking is unhealthy, but this report shows that it is even worse than we knew,&#8221; said Dr. Carmona. &#8220;The toxins from cigarette smoke go everywhere the blood flows. I hope that this new information will help motivate people to quit smoking and convince young people about this, do not start in the first place.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to the report, smoking kills 440,000 Americans estimated that every year. On average, men who smoke cut their lives short by 13.2 years and female smokers lose 14.5 years. The economic damage exceeding $ 157 billion per year in the United States &#8211; 75 billion in direct medical costs and $ 82 billion in lost productivity.</p>
<p>&#8220;We need to reduce smoking in this country and around the world,&#8221; HHS Secretary Tommy G. Thompson. &#8220;Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death and disease, costing us too many lives and dollars too and too many tears. If we are serious about the need to improve health and prevent disease, we continue to reduce tobacco consumption. And we must prevent our youth from the opening of this dangerous habit. &#8221;</p>
<p>In 1964, the report of the Surgeon General&#8217;s announced medical research showing that smoking was a cause of some cancers of the lung and larynx (voice box) in men and chronic bronchitis in men and women. Later, the final report concluded that smoking causes a number of other diseases such as cancers of the bladder, esophagus, mouth and throat, cardiovascular disease and effects on fertility. New report published today, the health consequences of smoking increases: A Report of the Surgeon General, the list of diseases and conditions that are associated with smoking. New diseases and diseases are cataracts, pneumonia, acute myeloid leukemia, aneurysm of the abdominal aorta, stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer, cancer of the cervix, kidney cancer and periodontitis.</p>
<p>Statistics show that more than 12 million Americans smoking since the 1964 report of the Surgeon General, are dead, and another 25 million Americans alive today will most likely die of smoking illnesses.</p>
<p>The report released ahead of World No Tobacco Day, an annual event May 31 that focuses global attention on the health risks of smoking. The objectives of World No Tobacco Day are to raise awareness about the dangers of smoking, should not the people, tobacco use, encourage people to quit and encourage countries to implement programs comprehensive tobacco control.</p>
<p>The report concludes that smoking reduces the overall health of smokers, contributing to conditions such as hip fractures, complications of diabetes, increased wound infections after surgery and a wide range of complications reproduction. For every premature death caused each year by smoking, there are at least 20 smokers with excessive consumption of tobacco caused disease.</p>
<p>Another important conclusion, consistent with recent conclusions of other scientific studies is that smoking so-called low tar or nicotine cigarettes low offers no advantage over Heath regular smoking or &#8220;full-flavor cigarettes&#8221; .</p>
<p>&#8220;It is in no safe cigarette, whether it is&#8221; light &#8220;ultra light&#8221; or another name, &#8220;said Dr. Carmona.&#8221; The science is clear: the only way to avoid the health risks of smoking is completely abandoned, or never start smoking. &#8221;</p>
<p>The report concludes that quitting smoking has immediate and long-term benefits, reducing risks for diseases caused by smoking and improving health in general. &#8220;Within minutes and hours after smokers inhale that last cigarette, their bodies begin a series of changes that continue for years said:&#8221; Dr. Carmona. &#8220;Among these health improvements to a decrease in the frequency heart, improved circulation, and reduce the risk of heart attack, lung cancer and stroke. In smoking today a smoker can assure a healthier future. &#8221;</p>
<p>Dr. Carmona said, it is never too late to quit. No Smoking at age 65 is reduced by almost 50 per cent chance for a person to die from smoking-related diseases.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cholesterol is one of the words most famous medical today. Everyone knows &#8220;something&#8221; about it, but mostly cholesterol is in our mind, something &#8220;bad&#8221; and &#8220;undesirable&#8221; is done, the old facts and overweight people.The show connected , which has about 20 percent of the U.S. population has high cholesterol.<span id="more-3"></span></p>
<p>In fact holesterol is a fatlike waxy substance (lipid) that your body is important for many functions, needs, such as production of new cells, some hormones, vitamin D and bile acids that help digest fats. In the cell walls or membranes everywhere in the body, including brain, nerve, muscle, skin, liver, intestine and heart.</p>
<p>In fact, our body needs cholesterol to function normally, but not too much cholesterol to our health. Why? Cholesterol and other lipids in the blood to solve. You need to be transported to and from cells by special carriers. Moves cholesterol in the blood bound to protein. This cholesterol-protein package is called a lipoprotein. High-density lipoprotein or low density, depending on how much protein there is in terms of fat.</p>
<p>Low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) ist der größte Carrier-Cholesterin im Blut. When too much LDL cholesterol circulates in the blood, it can slowly build up in the walls of arteries feeding the heart and brain. Together with other substances it can plaque, a thick hard deposit that can clog arteries form. When coronary arteries are narrowed or cholesterol and fat deposits blocked (called atherosclerosis) and can not supply enough blood to the heart, is the result of coronary artery disease. If the blood supply to part of the heart completely with the complete blockage of a reduction in the coronary artery is the result of a heart attack. This is usually due to a sudden closure of a blood clot forms on a previous limit. Cholesterol low density lipoprotein is considered &#8220;bad&#8221; cholesterol because cholesterol can lead to the building and blocked arteries. LDL is mostly fat with only a small amount of protein.</p>
<p>Approximately one third to one fourth of blood cholesterol is carried by high density lipoprotein (HDL). Medical experts think HDL cholesterol tends to unclog the arteries and back to the liver where it is passed from the body. Some experts believe removes excess cholesterol from HDL plates and slows their growth. HDL is considered &#8220;good&#8221; cholesterol because it prevents the development of cholesterol in the arteries. These are mainly proteins with only a small amount of fat.</p>
<p>There is good cholesterol and bad cholesterol is not only necessary to know your cholesterol, it is also important to know your LDL and HDL.</p>
<p>The fact is that there are no symptoms of high cholesterol. Your first symptom of high cholesterol may be a heart attack or stroke. The amount of cholesterol in the blood can only come test.The results as the three main figures are measured:</p>
<p>* Total cholesterol<br />
* LDL<br />
* HDL</p>
<p>The level of LDL cholesterol should be less than 160th<br />
Total cholesterol should be below 200<br />
The level of HDL should be above 35 years.</p>
<p>Most important: Your LDL cholesterol is a good indicator of the risk of heart disease. LDL is the main goal of treatment if your cholesterol level. In general, the higher your LDL cholesterol, the greater your chances of developing heart disease.</p>
<p>Remember, the regular cholesterol tests are recommended to determine if your cholesterol within normal range.</p>
<p>WHAT CAN YOU DO YOUR on LDL cholesterol?<br />
The main cause of high cholesterol is eating too much fat, especially saturated fat. Saturated fats are found in animal products like meat, milk and other dairy products found to be not fat free, butter and eggs. Some of these foods are in cholesterol. Fried fast food and snacks are often high in fat.</p>
<p>Overweight and can not exercise your &#8220;bad&#8221; cholesterol and raise your good cholesterol fall. Regular physical activity in May to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and raise HDL (good cholesterol). It also helps you lose weight. You should try to be physically active for 30 minutes on most, if not daily.</p>
<p>Cigarette smoking damages the walls of your blood vessels so they are likely to have cholesterol rich plaques rupture and have heart attacks. Smoking can also lower your HDL cholesterol by up to 15 per cent.</p>
<p>Even after women enter menopause, their bad cholesterol levels tend to increase. There is also a rare form of inherited, inherited high cholesterol that often leads people to early heart disease.Some a so-called familial hypercholesterolemia, which means that the rate of high cholesterol run in the population family.Other, especially those for whom diabetes runs in the family inherit high triglyceride levels. Triglycerides are another type of blood fat that also grow up cholesterol levels. People with high blood triglycerides usually have lower HDL-cholesterol and increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Progesterone, anabolic steroids and male sex hormones (testosterone) also lower in cholesterol HDL.</p>
<p>So we can expect a result which therapy is most important is to change your lifestyle. Including control of your weight, eating foods low in fat and cholesterol, smoking, exercising regularly, unsaturated, and drinking in some cases, less alcohol.</p>
<p>But according to risk factors, if healthy eating and exercise may not work after about 6 months to 1 year to lower your cholesterol, your doctor of medicine.</p>
<p>Now there are drugs very effective as &#8220;statins&#8221;, such as Lipitor.</p>
<p>The drug works by blocking harmful lipoproteins, low density (LDL) cholesterol in the blood and clear by limiting the body&#8217;s ability to form new LDL cholesterol. Each tablet contains 20 mg of atorvastatin Lipitor. It is in a class of medications called HMG-CoA reductase. It works by slowing the production of cholesterol in the body. Lipitor is stopped in a position not only to slow, has demonstrated the potentially fatal buildup of plaque in clogged arteries. While a handful of drugs now slowly building the new plaque, or atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries, no drug on the market has been proven to both stop new construction and clear existing plaque.</p>
