Facts About Sinus Infection Every Parent Must Know

By Anne Cole


One of the infections experienced by a lot of people is sinusitis. This infection, which occurs when the sinuses or air pockets on the skull become inflamed, affects all age brackets. Even your kid may experience sinusitis.

Your child's immune system is still not as strong as yours. This implies that he is more vulnerable to colds which typically trigger sinus infection. When your kid has a cold, there is an increased quantity of mucus. Naturally, the mucus should be drained. However, if the sinus cavities are blocked, the mucus gets trapped in the cavities. If virus, bacteria or fungi find their way into the mucus-filled cavities, infection takes place.

Abnormalities in the structure of your child's nose like a deviated septum or bone spurs are risk factors, too. Other than these anatomical or structural causes, there are environmental triggers you must look out for. If your kid goes to a day care center or school, then he is most probably going to get exposed to more diseases, increasing his chance of getting ill. Meanwhile, inhaling smoke, especially those from tobacco, can paralyze the cilia which aids in the clearing of mucus.

The symptoms of sinusitis in kids are the same as in grown-ups. However, it may be tough to diagnose it as its symptoms are just like that of flu or cold. Aside from runny nose, persistent cough which becomes worse at night is another indicator. Other symptoms are fever lasting several days, irritability, feeling of fullness on the facial area, and halitosis. Though your kid may exhibit these symptoms, it does not automatically mean that he has sinusitis. Hence, it's very much recommended for you to consult a doctor.

The best way to treat sinus infection is to strengthen your kid's immune system. Let him get enough rest and drink plenty of fluids. Steam inhalation or the use of nasal sprays and humidifiers may also relieve your child. If home remedies do not work, make sure to seek the help of an ENT specialist. After carefully checking your child's condition, the specialist may recommend some antibiotics or decongestants. Surgery may also be recommended if the cause of the infection is an abnormality in his nose.

Disease Can Be A Great Gift

By Albert Wallas


When you are diagnosed with a terminal sickness like cancer you have two options : take it as a death judgment or a gift for a new life.

Now let me ask: Which of the two alternatives serve you the most? You can choose either, but of course, if you desire to carry on living, then deciding on the option of selecting sickness as a gift will serve you to learn about a new you and find out more about life.

How we tend to CHOOSE to see something affects how we FEEL in relation to something. And how we feel will either lift or drop our energy.

When your body is experiencing illness the last thing you want to do is drop your energy - it is low enough as it is. So why not take a direction that will elevate your energy providing you with new hope and uplifting feelings.

Imagine This:

Wouldn't it be wonderful if when you went to the physicians to pick up the final test results for cancer that the doctor sat there at the table with you and with a great big smile announced that they had some great news for you and that you are presently about to receive the most wonderful gift that you may possibly ever imagine in your entire life. And as the physician watched the warm glow of optimism and elation spread across your face he announced that your body is showing signs of sever stress due to your previous lifestyle and emotional decisions and that some of your organs have gone on strike as they have become overloaded with toxins but there is a very good solution that will allow your body to heal and your organs to rejuvenate but it will take going on for six to twelve months depending on your individual commitment levels.

HOW WOULD YOU FEEL if you had been locked up with fear about having cancer and may die within a year and your doctor presented you with an opportunity in the way we've just described. You would maybe feel relieved which would boost your energy and give you a sense of hope and possibility for your life.

How you opt to see something is so imperative. The trick is to always observe things in a way that SERVES you. Why would you ever perceive things in any other way. And why would you ever let somebody else show you things that do not serve you.

Why Sickness and Chronic Diseases are A Gift?

Illness is purely an alarm bell. It is not a death sentence. When your body shows sign of ill health it is telling you that you are out of alignment. You've strayed too far in a direction that won't serve you either in your physical or mental/emotional actions.

To repair your body to peak strength all you have to to do is pay attention to the alarm bell, then SWITCH IT OFF - in other words once you discern there is an issue DO NOT FOCUS ON THE ISSUE any more - at that moment concentrate on what you wish for - perfect health.

What we concentrate on in our lives grows that is why it is imperative that once you discern your body is showing signs of ill health that you do not concentrate on the ill health but instead put your full focus in to wellness and TAKE ACTION to refocus your life and habits.

Hearing Loss In Children

By Anne Wiley


As a parent, you desire your kid to feel motivated and energetic. You always want your child to exude vitality and vigour at all times. For you, nothing is better than seeing your kid lively and happy every single day. Unfortunately, your kid isn't like that. Unlike other kids, your child does not exhibit the engaging life that you wish to see.

Now, you feel bothered. You wonder what is wrong with your daughter. Although he seems really fine, your instinct tells you otherwise. After numerous weeks of inspection, you recognise a couple of odd things about him. He doesn't want to go with his playmates. He doesn't focus much on his teacher's lecture. He does not even listen to what you say most of the time. For reasons you don't know, your child frequently ignores people surrounding him, his playmates, his own teacher, or even you!

Needless to say, your child is experiencing some difficulties you may not even know. A careful look at your child's situation can expose truths that you may have overlooked. If you observe your child's behavioural trends in detail, you can identify several factors that require adequate medical attention: delayed speech, academic difficulties and social isolation. Clearly, your child illustrates possible symptoms of hearing loss in children, particularly toddlers and preschoolers.

Is your child experiencing all these symptoms for quite some time now? If the answer is yes, then waste no time! Seek the help of an ENT doctor as soon as possible. ENT doctors specialise in the branch of ENT, also known as the ear, nose and throat areas. You can count on a trustworthy ENT specialist to treat disorders linked with these body parts. As hearing loss is chiefly associated with the auditory organ, an ENT doctor can help you discover the possible causes and particular treatment of your child's hearing loss.

Contrary to what many think, hearing loss is detrimental to the social and cognitive prowess of most children. Conquer your child's hearing loss now! Usher your parenting a notch higher. Collaborate with a credible ENT doctor, and let your kid live the life he deserves.

Obesity Health Danger

By Ruth Jones


In this video Dr. Ramy Awad examines the dangers of obesity and why it is so detrimental. First of all obesity is really a condition where there is an excess quantity of body fat. Body fat is necessary for storing power, heat insulation, and shock absorption. The normal quantity of body fat Is between 25%-30% in women, and 18%-23% in males. Obesity these days is pretty typical, 1 out of 3 Americans is obese.

The dangers of obesity are extremely actual because they are able to lead to insulin resistance, kind 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. A person taking in more calories than he/she can burn off causes obesity. Physical exercise is important because it can burn off those calories that you acquire and that will help balance your weight.

Genetics plays a function in obesity because it is hereditary; if both your parents are obese than you've a higher likelihood of becoming obese than someone who has parents who are lean. Overeating can also lead to weigh gain simply because foods high in fat or sugar have high power density. Physical inactivity plays a big function in obesity simply because people have the capability to shed fat by exercising. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey showed that physical inactivity strongly correlated with weight gain.

Fortunately obesity can be worked on by going on diets and exercising. Weight reduction is possible however it is also possible to regain weight. Much more than 95% of the individuals who shed weight regain it within five years and that is why there must be another method to treat obesity. Exercising and dieting are two short-term solutions.

Exercising and dieting are two short-term solutions. Weight loss can result to lower blood pressure, reduced blood levels of cholesterol, reduced risk of kind 2 diabetes, decreased likelihood of stroke, and reduce complications of heart illness. Obesity can cause numerous well being issues for individuals but if it is taken care of rapidly, they'll have live a much healthier life.

An Overview Of The US Home Care Industry

By Darryl Jones


Helping people continue to live their lives even when they are incapable of doing so alone is a very old human tradition. The home care industry expanded as the industrial revolution occurred and then continued as more and more people worked outside the home, thus removing the informal caregivers that used to perform these services.

Assisting the elderly and the infirm with their basic needs is a tradition that goes back to the beginning of mankind. However, specialized medical assistance became a thing that was received in an in-patient center during the industrial revolution. Funding for other types of care revitalized the industry in the 1960's.

During the 1960's there was a tax break available for setting up nursing homes. This unfortunately resulted in a low quality of life for many residents of facilities that were more concerned with money than patients. New rules resulted in both stricter regulations on nursing homes and funding for in-home care by Medicare.

Medicare still pays for a large portion of the total expenditure of the home care industry. Some 37 percent of the total costs for this type of aid come from Medicare. Services included are things like wound care and medication administration, but also things like help with bathing, dressing, cooking, and other life skills. Aides who are not specially trained perform most of the non-medical work, and LVNs or RNs provide most of the medical services.

Like other health services, this type of assistance is expensive. Care from an unskilled aide can run from $7 per hour on up, and nurses commonly make $40-$60 per visit. Some 600,000 people receive this type of assistance, and the cost is significant, for patients, insurance companies, and the US government.

A complete picture of spending for this area is difficult to draw, because of several reasons. One is that services provided in-home are not necessarily listed as home-care services. Another is the many companies, agencies, and individuals paying for the services. Medicare spending was estimated at $428 billion for in-home services in the year 2008.

How To Combat Snoring Problems

By Florian Coleman


Most of us see snoring as something funny and we would even record an embarrassing video or audio of it. But we must take note that this can be a sign of a serious health disorder which is known as obstructive sleep apnea. For this reason, doctors recommend notorious snorers to undergo evaluation since obstructive sleep apnea can increase a person's risk of suffering from chronic ailments like heart disease and diabetes

When the soft palate and the ovula- the conic part hanging down in the throat- vibrate, the sound of snoring is produced. Thankfully, there are numerous medical solutions to snoring through surgical and non-surgical procedures. Among the most common include laser palatoplasty, wherein the palate is corrected or reconstructed; pillar procedure, wherein the soft palate in the mouth is stiffened; and coblation-assisted tonsillectomy, wherein the tonsils are eliminated with the least possible trauma.

Snorers who do not require medical treatment are often asked to lose weight. The reason behind this is that overweight people have higher risks of acquiring thyroid complications, and thyroid ailments are one of the top factors contributing to obstructive sleep apnea. According to numerous studies, snorers who lose weight exhibit shorter episodes of loud breathing.

Snorers are also asked to stop smoking and drinking alcohol. This is because smoking directly results in the swelling of certain parts of the throat, nose, and vessels in the lungs, all of which contributing in producing loud snores. On the other hand, drinking causes the airway to collapse which in turn may result to irregularity in breathing.

Having adequate sleep can also treat snoring. All you have to do is develop and maintain a regular sleeping pattern to avoid instability in breathing.

As mentioned previously, there are available treatments for people with snoring problems. These procedures usually focus on factors like oversize tonsils, huge adenoids, and swelling of tissues at the throat. Undergoing a surgical procedure is recommended by doctors as a last resort, usually when snorers have already changed their sleeping and dietary habits and the problem still persists.

Taking A Close Look At Enlarged Prostate Treatment Options For All Men

By Thai Nguyen


Many men all over the globe are looking for an enlarged prostate treatment that will work for them because this condition is having very negative effects on their daily lives. Men that are considering any type of option should always be sure to discuss the issue first with a health care professional.

Younger guys can experience such an issue but it is usually related to something else as most of the men that suffer from a naturally occurring condition like this are well over 50. Over half of all men will be developing this condition by the time they surpass the age of 60. Each year that a man ages past this point increases the odds as the older men get the larger their odds for the condition become.

The number one problem that is most often associated with this condition is the issue of a man having to use the restroom far more than he probably cares to. Many men are losing a great deal of sleep each night because their slumber is interrupted by having to go. It is also very common to see men experience trouble performing at their job because they have to run off to the restroom so often.

A lot of men are well aware of how very serious this condition can really be however there are a number of cases in which the issue is caused by some type of urinary tract based infection so it is not really that serious. A lot of young men that suffer from this kind of condition are doing so because they have this type of infection. Many of these men clear the condition up through the use of over the counter products that are sold at most stores.

Some men have been asking their doctors for some of the prescription options that are currently on the market because the over the counter options have not been producing desired results. Most prescription medications treat the issue very directly by shrinking the area and therefore easing most symptoms. Most doctors consider prescription options as a middle ground between over the counter medicines and surgery.

Many men that suffer regularly as a result of this condition are starting to learn that they need to do certain things and spreading out their consumption of liquids during the course of each day is a very important piece of advice. Not consuming liquid before bed if one has trouble sleeping due to the need to urinate is another good piece of advice. Men should also stay as relaxed as possible while they urinate.

It is important to always remember that there are several instances in which the condition is serious enough for a man to actually require no option outside of surgery. Men who realize that they have completely lost the ability to pass urine at all might be facing surgical options. Men that are told by their doctor that their kidneys have become damaged because of the condition might be facing surgery as well.

Any man that is seeking any type of enlarged prostate treatment should also be making sure that his doctor runs the necessary tests that need to be ran. Tests are so important because this condition could be the result of certain kinds of cancer.

Nasal Allergy - Definition, Indications And Treatment

By Melissa Powell


Nasal allergic reactions can easily be taken for granted. Many people mistake it as a simple feeling of itchiness in the nose or nasal area. If not dealt with straight away, the ailment might develop into something more serious and the patient can even get complications. Take note that the nose and the area surrounding it can be awfully sensitive so immediate attention must be given to the patient.

A person who experiences nasal allergies has an itchy, irritated and reddish nose. At times, it comes with coughing and colds which causes distress to the patient. Nose allergies can be caused by various factors such as certain allergens like airborne dirt and dust, molds, smoke, animals or pollens, among others. Asthma attacks can happen if he or she is constantly subjected to these allergens.

If the ailment worsens, the nose might swell up and the swelling can go deep within. There are several instances in which the air itself can also trigger nose allergies to take place especially if the person has allergic reaction to the elements present in the air. Therefore, it is important for a person to be aware of what he or she is allergic to as a way to prevent such attacks.

Those who disregard nose allergen hypersensitivity can develop certain complications in their respiratory system. Anything can happen if this problem is not attended to right away. There are even people who need to undergo skin surgical procedures if their nasal skin becomes altered or damaged. The most awful part here is that it can bring about shortness of breath. If this is coupled with other respiratory problems, it can even get worse. Thus, it is really important to see a health care provider and attend to this problem immediately.

There are medicines that a patient has to take to help improve the condition. Doctor's prescriptions and orders ought to be strictly followed. Again, this problem might not quite be considered grave by those who just regard this as a simple discomfort. However, it's vital to note that doing nothing for the ailment will just cause it to worsen. Consult with the medical experts right away.

Tinnitus Treatments That Will Bring You Relief

By Graeme Teague


Tinnitus is one of those conditions that may not sound serious to someone who doesn't suffer with it, but if you have to put up with a constant ringing in your ears it can be awful. While treatments can be found, you have to be persistent in your search for the right one. Even medical science hasn't discovered a definite cause for this condition, at least in the majority of cases. Even without knowing the cause, however, you can often find relief from your symptoms by trying some innovative approaches.

Tinnitus is usually more annoying than dangerous, but this isn't the case if your symptoms are caused by high blood pressure or hypertension. Hypertension is on the rise in industrialized nations, probably because not enough people are exercising enough or watching their diets. If this is what's causing your tinnitus, you obviously have to do everything you can to reduce your blood pressure. If high blood pressure is extreme, your doctor may prescribe medicine for it, and this may relieve your tinnitus problem too. By eliminating unhealthy foods from your diet and exercising consistently, you can help prevent hypertension from recurring. You should also learn how to reduce tension and stress in your everyday life, as these can contribute to high blood pressure.

A reduction in tinnitus symptoms is one possible side benefit of a hearing aid, whose main purpose is obviously to improve your hearing. If your hearing is impaired, you'll tend to be very aware of any tinnitus symptoms, but a good hearing aid can return your attention to the sounds coming from the outside world. This may not be a permanent solution, as you may still be experiencing tinnitus symptoms, but it can at least make you less aware of them.

Acupuncture, an ancient science from the east, has been shown to provide relief from the symptoms of tinnitus. Just recently, the age-old art of healing called acupuncture, which originated in Asia, is now being used in America as a positive healing solution. This ancient technique actually can help reduce discomfort levels, induce relaxation, and balance your entire electrical body system. Understanding that the body is electrical in nature, this ancient Eastern wisdom simply redirects the flow of energy in the body so that it is balanced providing comfort. If you don't like the idea of having needles applied to your body (even though it's usually painless), you could try reflexology, which works on the same principles, but without needles.

While essential oils and aromatherapy are often used for relaxation, they can also be used for many healing purposes, including tinnitus. There are many different essential oils, and many ways to use them, but you can get many of the benefits by simply inhaling the scent. You may find that relaxing oils such as lavender or peppermint are helpful, while if you have problems with circulation, others such as cypress oil might also be recommended. Since essential oils vary quite a bit, and some are quite powerful, you should avoid putting them all the way into the ear unless you're sure it's safe. Read the precautions on the bottle and do your research before using any particular oil.

As there are so many causes of tinnitus and so many possible treatments, you may have to try various alternatives. Any treatment that poses no risks or side effects is something that can be tried on your own. More powerful or intrusive approaches, such as prescription medication, may be suggested by your doctor in some cases. The important thing is to keep an open mind and not to give up seeking an effective treatment for tinnitus.

Treating and Managing Asthma

By Lori Vee


Asthma is a health issue that has become more widespread just about everywhere. It affects the lungs and breathing passages making breathing difficult. In Western nations particularly, incidences are far in advance of where they were 50 years ago, bringing about speculation that modern building materials or factors in the atmosphere could possibly be causing the problem. The causes aren't always known and the problem is spreading across the world.



Attempts to clearly define asthma are made more difficult by the uncertainty concerning the definite cause, although it appears inescapable that there are different types of asthma with different causes. Environmental elements are considered to be among the primary causes if a particular allergen isn't known. Among the proofs which this might be the cause is the fact that asthma sufferers residing in cities is on the rise. Even in rural areas, the air quality is often significantly affected and it is easy to understand why young folks growing up in a polluted atmosphere are significantly affected.



Even where environmental pollutants aren't the direct reason behind asthma attacks, they can obviously be an exacerbating element in making the conditions worse. This is seen at its most dramatic with smoking cigarettes, as this takes toxic compounds and pollutants straight to where they can easily affect the breathing the most. Lots of smokers aren't asthmatic but they still cough and wheeze so there's no doubt the smoke can easily cause real difficulties for the people with the condition. Giving up smoking cigarettes and avoiding smoky environments is the first essential in controlling asthma.



You'll find numerous cases of asthma where the symptoms are so severe that they can even be life threatening if not managed. This is why inhalers that contain medication like Salbutamol is often carried by those that are afflicted by asthma. They need help speedily when symptoms occur. If you take a prescription medicine you wish to make certain you stay with the recommendations as this can easily help manage how bad the attacks are. Inhalers are also frequently used as a highly effective way of dispensing the long-term medicines.



When you get effectively diagnosed and your treatment is started then the outlook is rather good. This is true, with the given understanding that the individual is going to be in a position to stick to those treatments which are advised. Doing things like quitting smoking is essential but can be quite difficult to do. You need to do whatever it requires to give up in order for treatment to be successful.



There's so much info available nowadays that living a normal life with asthma is easier to accomplish than it once was. No matter where you live in the world there are authority websites such as the British National Health Service which can easily present you with sound information. However bear in mind, no matter just how much information you gather on your own from different resources it'll never replace the advice of the own medical professional. He understands what your particular needs are and what troubles are unique to you.

Chickenpox On A Lollipop

By William Smith


Recently, a social phenomenon known as a "pox party" has started to gain traction in the general public in the U.S. A "pox party" is a party held by parents for the purpose of infecting their children with childhood diseases, including chickenpox. Similar ideas were associated with other diseases, e.g. measles or smallpox, but are now discouraged by doctors and health services due to the risk of serious injury or death from acquiring the disease. What logic drives these "pox parties?" The reasoning behind such parties is that party guests exposed to the varicella virus will contract the disease and develop strong and persistent immunity at an early age, before getting really sick later, particularly from chickenpox or rubella. This is, of course, irrational and lunatic.

It is reported that some parents, not living nearby to a set of neighbors holding a "pox party," in trying to avoid giving their kids the chickenpox vaccine, were offering payment to people to send them lollipops licked by kids infected with chickenpox. A Nashville, TN TV station reported a story about a woman selling lollipops licked by her children, who were infected with chickenpox. People would spend $50 to get their hands on these lollipops, and they would be mailed them, infected with VZV and bacteria. In effect, these rogue parents had created a new vector for the chickenpox virus. Mailing these infected lollipops is illegal since it violates federal law governing use of the U.S. Postal Service to transmit infectious substances. Frighteningly, what many people think is a "trivial" illness in fact exposes them to serious organisms including MRSA and flesh-eating strep, in addition to the Varicella virus.

In 1974, in a stunning medical advance, a chickenpox vaccine for was developed by Michiaki Takahashi. The Varicella vaccine is an attenuated live virus that protects against the VZV viral disease. Adopted first in 1988 in Japan, it has been available in the U.S. since 1995 to inoculate against chickenpox. Protection from one dose is not lifelong, and a second dose is necessary five years after the initial immunization, which is currently part of the routine immunization schedule in the US. Chickenpox vaccine is marketed under the name "Varivax" in the U.S. by Merck.

The vaccine is suited for all children under 13 and for everyone 13 or older who has never been exposed to chickenpox. Two doses are always recommended. Normally, a first dose is administered at 12 to 15 months and a second dose at age 4-6 years. For people over the age of 13 the two doses are administered 4 to 8 weeks apart.

Chickenpox is an airborne disease spread easily through coughing or sneezing of infected children, or by direct contact with secretions from the rash on an infected child. A person suffering from chickenpox is infectious one to two days before the rash appears. The contagious period then continues for 4 to 5 days after the first appearance of the rash, or until all lesions have crusted over. Research result has shown that chickenpox is caused by the Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV), a herpes virus.

Most often, this initial episode of chickenpox occurs in childhood. Additionally, however, a common late complication of chickenpox is shingles, caused by reactivation of the Varicella Zoster virus, sometimes occurring decades after the initial episode of chickenpox. Finally, in a small fraction of shingles cases, post-herpetic neuralgia can develop, mainly in the elderly, which is extremely painful and very troublesome to handle.

Varicella zoster virus is nothing to toy with. Not only can permanent scarring occur, but also pneumonia, encephalitis, possible brain damage and later, shingles may develop. What responsible parent would want to inflict this potential harm to their child?

This vaccine is exceedingly safe: approximately 5% of children who receive the vaccine develop a fever or rash, but as of 2006, there have been NO DEATHS yet attributable to the vaccine, despite more than 40 million doses being administered. Compare this with 100 deaths PER YEAR before the introduction of the chickenpox vaccine. According to the CDC, before the vaccine, 11,000 people were hospitalized each year from chickenpox. This vaccine is a remarkable medical advance, which promises to lift this scourge permanently from mankind.

This much is known about how to contain chickenpox, using the chickenpox vaccine. Varivax is a tried and proven vaccine, and given routinely and effectively every year to millions of children and adults. There's additionally a final reason for kids to get the chickenpox vaccine: prevent shingles. The chickenpox virus is a herpes virus that stays in the body for life. And, when VZV gets reactivated, a person gets shingles, and possibly post-herpetic neuralgia as a complication. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that childhood chickenpox vaccination prevents adult shingles.

The Internet is feeding this irrational phenomenon. Some Facebook pages advertise "Find a Pox Party Near You." Parents can join a Facebook group and can either link up with those arranging a "pox party" or arrange to purchase a chickenpox-infected lollipop.

The only possible reason to attend a "pox party" or purchase a chickenpox lollipop is a belief that all government-sanctioned vaccines are a plot to conduct some evil purpose. People who believe in these alternatives are either extremely paranoid about government intentions or just plain irrational. The title refers to 1348 AD, the year the Black Death arrived in Europe.

We live in a golden age of mankind, where the scourge of varicella Zoster virus is finally being eradicated. This virus has be-deviled mankind for hundreds of thousands of years. To stray away from a brilliant advance in chickenpox treatment is just plain wrong-headed and counter-productive. Worse, parents who participate in a "pox party" are potentially subjecting their children to serious medical harm.

A Pill For Migraines

By William Smith


Migraines are debilitating chronic headaches that can cause pain for hours or days. Migraines can begin in the early teen years and may be triggered by many things, including stress, odors, certain foods, alcohol, etc. Some migraines are accompanied by visual disturbances called auras, which are characterized by sensitivity to light, scintillating shapes, sometimes nausea and vomiting. About a third of migraine attacks are preceded by an aura.

In 2010, an international study ("A dominant-negative mutation in the TRESK potassium channel is linked to familial migraine with aura." Nature Medicine, September, 2010. doi:10.1038/nm.2216) led by scientists at Montreal University and the University of Oxford, identified a gene associated with common migraines with aura. Using DNA samples from several generations of a large family who had been suffering from migraine with aura, the researchers were able to identify the mutation on a gene known as KCNK18 or TRESK that was common to the members of the immediate family. TRESK normally plays a key role in nerve cell communication. The mutation investigated results in an incomplete TRESK protein, which disrupts the normal functioning of this potassium channel protein. The end result is an alteration in the excitability of nerve cells in the CNS. When this gene doesn't work as it should, a migraine attack is more easily brought on by migraine triggers. This leads to the exciting conclusion that a migraine headache is a nerve excitability problem, and now the key causal pathway is known, in a general way. TRESK is abundant in migraine-related areas, such as the trigeminal ganglia. The research suggests that restoring TRESK activity through drug intervention may mitigate the severity or frequency of migraine headaches.

The study's lead author, Dr. Ron Lafreniere, said, "When we tested everyone in the family, all those who suffered from migraines also had the mutation." This is a very important scientific discovery, because it has the potential of providing a better understanding of the ultimate cause of migraines and their pathology, as well as the development of new treatments. In the paper's conclusion, it was stated "up-regulating TRESK activity with agonists could be of great benefit for migraine sufferers, either as an acute treatment or as a long-term prophylactic."

In 2010, an international study ("A dominant-negative mutation in the TRESK potassium channel is linked to familial migraine with aura." Nature Medicine, September, 2010. doi:10.1038/nm.2216) led by scientists at Montreal University and the University of Oxford, identified a gene associated with common migraines with aura.

TRESK is abundant in migraine-related areas, such as the trigeminal ganglia. The research suggests that restoring TRESK activity through drug intervention may mitigate the severity or frequency of migraine headaches.

Genes involved in moving salts through a nerve membrane are called ion channel or "transporter" genes. Recent research has shed light on two-pore-domain Potassium (K2P) channels as a highly regulated and diverse superfamily of ion channels that are thought to provide baseline regulation of nerve membrane excitability. Of these, the "tandem pore domain potassium" (or TREK) channels are expressed highly in the human central nervous system (CNS), and can be activated by temperature, membrane stretch, and acidity.

Now that a gene defect leading to a common form of migraine headaches has been identified and sequenced, a pill to prevent migraine headaches could be coming in a few years. If drugs can be explored which increase TRESK activity in affected individuals, then this may reduce the sensitivity of the critical CNS nerve cells, which in turn could reduce the likelihood of migraine. So, new drug-based migraine treatments could be developed, based on these important discoveries.

According to Dr. Guy Roleau of the CHU Sainte-Justine Research Center of the University of Montreal, part of the international team, "We may be moving toward developing a pill that would block the brain's pain channel that reacts to stimulation and causes pain in migraine...Sequencing the gene not only allows us to understand the disease - it also opens understanding of the pain pathways that trigger migraine pain." Dr. Roleau also is hopeful that, for the first time since the discovery of triptans in the 1980's, researchers may be able to develop preventive drugs for migraine headaches.

The discovery of a gene for aura migraines in 2010 confirms the common observation that migraine is very common in some families, and the proof now that a genetic factor in migraine auras is at work here is an important advance in understanding the biochemical and metabolic basis of migraine treatment.

Diabetes Prevention: Shrink that Gut

By Kathy Smith


An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Sure, we don't want to get sick and need a doctor. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't see your doctor regularly. Along with that apple, you should be including routine physical examinations as a part of your overall health care. Doctors are not the enemy. They are often your first defense against diseases and conditions like diabetes Type 2.

Fat is vital to the body. It acts as a cushion for your organs and your bones. The body takes a lot of jostling especially when we are young and bouncing around a lot. Without fat, we'd be injured each time we took a tumble. As we age, we need the same cushioning to prevent injury to our somewhat more fragile bones and joints.

Fat is also used in cell membranes. Lipids are fats that have a hydrophobic end (water hating) and a hydrophilic end (water loving). Substances encased in a fatty layer for transport can enter the cell. Without fats, the body would lack a lot of what it needs to function and maintain its structure on the cellular level.

Use the food pyramid. Check out MyPyramid.gov to take a look at the new and improved food pyramid. It goes step-by-step through the different types of food groups: carbohydrates, fruits, vegetables, fats and oils, sweets, and protein. A balanced diet is what your body needs to function at its best. You'll feel and look better with a properly balanced diet.

When the blood work comes back from the lab, your doctor may ask you to come back in to review the results. The blood work will show your cholesterol numbers. One of the risk factors for diabetes Type 2 is high cholesterol. The doctor will discuss your numbers and if necessary suggest options for reducing your bad cholesterol which will include diet, exercise, and possibly medication.

Learn about the glycemic index. The glycemic index is a way of rating carbohydrates according to how much they spike your blood sugar compared with pure glucose. Any carb that is rated 50 or below is considered "low GI" (glycemic index). Be careful of making assumptions here. Not all good "complex carbs" are "low GI." For instance, white potatoes are complex carbs but they have a "high GI."

You must do two things to get rid of belly fat: diet and exercise. Diet: Remove the excess fats from your daily eating plan. Opt instead for foods that have less unhealthy fats and more of the kinds that the body needs like olive oil, nuts, and lean meats. Reduce fried food and make use of baking and steaming. Toss the empty calories and opt for nutrient rich foods that are low in calories, like vegetables, fresh whole fruit, oatmeal, brown rice, whole grains, and dried beans and peas.

Nutritionist: If you want to eat better but don't know where to begin, a nutritionist can help. Some insurance plans allow for visits to these professionals. Gain the knowledge you need to improve your health.

Have you been to the doctor lately? If not, this is your wake up call. Don't sit and worry about diabetes; get proactive by getting a physical exam. Decide today to protect your life and change your lifestyle - with your doctor's help.

Asthma Facts Everyone Should Be Aware Of

By Sophia Andrea


Admittedly, asthma is a difficult disease to identify early. It resembles so many other respiratory infections that it becomes difficult to tell them apart. That is why you should not be trying it on your own; bring your doctor into the picture.

If you know nothing of asthma, how in the world would you handle things when push comes to shove? You might not think you could have it, but what do you really know. I strongly suggest that you don't take any chances with the disease.

There are lots of medications you could take to treat asthma; some are even sold over the counter in several drugstores. However, I strongly urge that you seek a doctor's opinion first before you go ahead. Your condition may be worse, or may not warrant that particular treatment, or you may have an adverse reaction to it. You cannot be too careful.

An asthma specialist is the best person to treat you if you've got the condition. Sure all doctors have the basic knowhow, but the specialist would be able to treat you faster and more specifically. Just so you know where to head for your treatment.

Whatever treatment you have been given for your asthma, be sure to include some exercise every day. You may want to start up with something easy that will not stress your lungs too hard, but work on gradually increasing it. It has been known to help a great deal with breathing when you are in crisis situations.

Two different doctors would scarcely treat asthma the same way. It is based on their understanding of the condition, and their experience with patients. The thing is, they could both be right, or one of them could be wrong. You need to be sure you have the right one.

Seeing as you are not the asthma pro, you might want to take a chill pill on your suggestions and suppositions. It is tough enough doing their job; you don't want to make things harder for your specialist than they totally need to be.

The moment you begin to hear your breath wheezing or whistling, you might want to get it checked out. It could be an asthma attack coming on. The better prepared you are for it, the better of you will fare when it does happen.

The number of medications out there that can be used for asthma continues to climb. It is nice to know that so much work is being put into the research, but I'd much rather have the cure. I hate to see my mum suffer so much in her old age.
