Since the beginning of next year in British hospitals will operate a new dress code. In the fight against nosocomial infections personnel ban the wearing of clothing with long sleeves, including traditional white coats.

In addition to coats, rub and blouses with long sleeves, under embargo will be watches, rings and bracelets, as well as ties, told the British Health Minister Alan Johnson.

The ban relates to the fact that all these objects, as well as obshlaga sleeves most polluted dangerous pathogenic microbes, in particular, metitsillin-resistant Staphylococcus (MRSA) and Clostridium difficile.

Also in cloakrooms doctors appear new clothes, a protective function, in particular plastic apron, the British Ministry of Health.

In addition to changing the dress code of medical personnel, also will be used and other measures to combat nosocomial infections. In particular, patients infected with C.difficile or MRSA, will be isolated from other patients.

Nurses and sisters-host four times a year will be directly accountable leadership hospitals about health and sanitation activities and their effectiveness.

Enhanced measures to combat the spread of infection had been taken after it became known that Britain is among the highest in Europe infections on the frequency of drug-resistant microbes.

According to statistics, the victims of nosocomial infections each year are becoming more 5 thousand Britons.

Create portable artificial kidney

People with renal failure and need blood purification through hemodialysis, in the near future will be able to obtain the freedom of movement. The U.S. company Xcorporeal Inc. has developed a portable "artificial kidney", held successful preliminary tests on humans, the journal Lancet.

Currently, hospital patients to connect to stationary vehicles "artificial kidney": as a result, they are riveted to bed at 4-12 hours 2-3 times a week. New apparatus for hemodialysis is portable - although fairly cumbersome - a device with a battery food, and up to 4-8 hours of continuous work.

The head of research Andrew Davenport (Andrew Davenport) and his colleagues from University College London (University College London) experienced portable "artificial kidney" at 8 patients, whose average age was 52 years. All participants in the study procedures required in regular haemodialysis.

In the tests came from two patients thrombosis, caused by insufficient protivosvertyvayuschey therapy; another patient was briefly disconnected from the apparatus because of a shift needles. Nonetheless, scientists have recognized tests successful, and the members unanimously agreed to recommend such treatment to other patients with renal insufficiency.

According to scientists, the procedure for cleaning blood in a portable "artificial kidney" occurs several slower than in a stationary apparatus. However, this does not represent the special problems, since the device can be easily be for a long time. Currently, the creators of portable "artificial kidney" trying to increase the duration of the apparatus, making 24 - of watch regime of its operation.

Nearly 1.3 million people worldwide suffer from chronic renal failure and need for regular dialysis. Only a few lucky ones, to await a suitable donor organ, conducting kidney transplant. Today's portable "artificial kidney" probably will be the first step towards a more convenient and portable miniature (and possibly ACG) hemodialysis machines, scientists believe.

Exercise in the gym and blood pressure

Most muscle mass increases blood pressure? Hypertension, or high blood pressure - the main risk factor serdechnososudistyh diseases and the first risk factor paralysis. Hypertension is often linked to over weight, obesity and, therefore, also considered a serious risk factor. And what about muscle? Some competing bodibildery go on stage in the weight almost 150 kg, while their growth rarely reaches 180 cm Of course, they have to be a problem with pressure.

However, according to recent studies, it is not. In one experiment, scientists monitored the effects of stress on high blood pressure from 127 young men with dark skin and bright. U subjects has been measured dry weight, fat mass and overall percentage of fat in the body. Stress procedure consisted of two hours of rest, then the tense hours of video games and two hours of recovery. Samples of blood and uriny taken every hour, and blood pressure measured at intervals of 15 minutes. The main result of the experiment was that more muscle to ensure better regulation of blood pressure under stress. For high percentage of fat picture was quite different - it was more than fat in the body, the worse it regulate the pressure in response to stress impact. All this was related to sodium.

The results of this study are also relevant to Bodybuilding. Possession of a large muscle mass improves the body's ability to remove sodium and reduces the likelihood of delays in body fluids. The process can be accelerated if taking nutrients that promote the withdrawal of sodium, for example, potassium and magnesium. Magnesium acts as a natural inhibitor converts angiotensin-enzyme, preventing a persistent increase in blood pressure.

After a quarrel with her husband takes time not only to protracted emotional wounds. Physical wounds heal too slowly after that. Scientists found that half quarrel with the favourite is likely to hamper the ability of the body to regenerate at least for one day. U pairs, where there are constantly hostile relations, the time needed for healing, doubles.

Accordingly, the hospitals can conduct psychological tests for patients awaiting surgery to learn in advance how long they will need bed rest, scientists say. The key elements of the immune system are cytokines that promote healing of wounds. But if their levels in the blood is too high, they can cause inflammation associated with conditions such as heart attack, arthritis, diabetes, cancer, researchers say.

These findings come after scientists study 42 couples living in married an average of 12 years. It is important that people be psychologically prepared for an operation. Hospitals must ensure that reduce stress before the operation.

Physicians, confirmed this finding in the new research, trying to explain the paradox. Many long before the dream of a December meeting of the New Year, at the time when we can escape from worries, fun and just sleep. But with the coming long holidays, many people start sick. It is not too loud music or, for example, sweet surplus.

Ed Vingerhoets, Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychology Tilburgskogo University (Netherlands), calls the phenomenon "disease free time." As soon as people change their labor busy schedule to relax, vacation turns into hell - skin rash, symptoms of colds, worsening health problems of old. "For some people, even a short vacation on weekends becomes pathogenic," - tells Vingerhoets.

In 2001, a team of researchers under his leadership conducted a survey, which involved 1.89 a thousand people. Approximately 3% of the respondents indicated that almost never get sick of working days, but the shaft with legs on weekends or during vacations. Many linked it with the shift in the relaxed regime. And "disease free time" especially prone to workaholic and perfectionists.

Scientists have proposed a new way to combat overweight and obesity. His "highlight" is the use of natural components of the body fat to suppress feelings of hunger.
As biochemists from the University of California, to develop a sense of hunger and repression plays an important role oleoiletanolamid fatty acids, part of the many natural fats. She communicates with the brain nerve cells responsible for the sensation of hunger, and inhibits their activity, thus creating the feeling of satiety. In the event that its reception is violated, a person feels constantly hungry (at least, it has been shown in laboratory mice), and if the body comes surplus oleoiletanolamida, prituplyaetsya feeling of hunger, even if in reality the body does not receive enough calories.
Researchers suggest that oleoiletanolamid could become a natural drug to reduce weight, which will be much less toxic than any used for this purpose artificial substances.

In the pharmacy. When you buy drugs

medicinearticles — Fri, 16 May 2008 07:41:37 +0200

Asking for medicine, try to pronounce it correctly, it is better to immediately show recipe, in which it is registered. Very well, if you just tell me how to treat his illness you prescribed - in the pharmacy great variety of many different drugs, for example, there are ointment Viprosal Vipsogal and ointment, they are sometimes confused visitors and pharmacists and pharmacies, many curiosities is due to unscrupulous records in recipes. In my memory, were thus mix Papazol tablets (spazmolitik, favorite gipertonikami containing papaverine and dibazol hydrochloride) and Panadol (paracetamol-containing drug, ANTIPYRETIC, painkillers), so that testimony, as can see, there is quite different. Man offended, the next day came the scandals, frankly, no court shall not be admitted guilt provizorov, because there really was written something mean. And people offended, and pharmacists mood for the entire day running, and the patient did not receive the necessary medication on time.

Be sure to tell if the medicine is:
for the child (say what age)
for pregnant or nursing women
for an elderly person
if the person who prescribed medication, there is a severe disease, like diabetes, asthma, liver disease, kidney.

Be sure to take instruction on medication!

Very well, if you immediately can see some characteristics of the drug (consult with provizora, in extreme cases, read the instructions) - may need something else to buy, for example, need zapivat alkaline water, or medicine can not be combined with medication nitroglycerin, but you have to take them.

Compare the name of the drug in prescription and on the package.

It happens that the doctor writes you a prescription in the name of existing substance, whereas the same name should definitely be in the instructions or on the package. Often provizory offer several drug analogues, which differ producer and price. Typically, drugs reputable companies producing components contain more refined, they are more easily transported, allergies occur less frequently. Sometimes buyers discouraged that in the instructions for imported drugs listed many side effects. It said only about integrity and responsibility of producers. For example, German companies are obliged to place information in the instructions for some effect, even if it was an isolated case in the country to which they supply the medicine (can, and do not exactly associated with this drug). Once in the annotations to the female hormonal pills was inserted the phrase that in their admission may be unpleasant feeling of lenses. This is precisely from such cases.

Compare the dosage, established in recipes and on the package.

If this amp, see if it whole, if you buy amp, check whether there is burlar in the package (in the case, of course, if you have no strategic reserve at home incisors for vials, and your uncle is not working Farm. Factory) . Sometimes they fall out reams of often immediately in the pharmacy, in pharmacies usually have a few incisors for vials, the same thing if you do not take full stack, and several vials.

Check expiration date.

You must clearly follow the recommendations of a doctor, you appointed medicine.

Do not give other medicines, do not take drugs, you are not nominated. Always need to assure that, whether you are taking medication you designated.

Do not stay longer to use the medicine.

Laxatives You Find In The Drugstore

medicinearticles — Fri, 16 May 2008 07:33:00 +0200

A laxative is defined as,

A substance that is used to promote a bowel movement when you are constipated.

Laxatives work by starting and stimulating peristaltic action. Peristaltic action is a wave like movement that occurs throughout your gastrointestinal tract â€“ esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon â€“ that helps move your food into your stomach, through your intestines, through your colon, and out your rectum.

There are drugstore products, natural occurring foods, special nutrients, liquid preparations, herbal substances, and homeopathic liquids that have laxative effects. I do not recommend using drugstore laxatives or any other form of drugs to clear a constipation problem.

All my recommendations are for using natural foods, minerals, special nutrients, or herbal products. And some of these natural methods should also be used only for the time it takes to clear your constipation.

Recommendation: You should use Drugstore laxatives or drug laxatives only under Doctors recommendations.

There are no safe drugstore laxatives. These laxatives are habit-forming and work by desensitizing your colon. Their use can irritate nerves and muscles along the intestinal lining, interfere with digestion and adsorption, cause cramps, deplete fluids, and create other physical internal problems.

Laxatives can enlarge and seriously damage your colon when used for a longtime. Eventually, after continual use, you will not be able to have a bowel movement without using them.

If you have been using laxatives for a long time, you will have to retrain your colon to activate peristaltic action. This training will have to be done under the care of a medical practitioner. If you are tempted to use drugstore laxatives remember that,

Laxatives bought in drugstores are of questionable safety. Because of the action these laxatives have on the small intestine and colon, doctors and other health practitioners recommend their limited use since they,

* have chemical side effects that affect your health

* produce an active force that can damage nerves that control the muscles in your colon walls

* desensitizes your colon so your natural peristaltic action is reduced

* become habit-forming

* rush food through your intestines so it does not digest and absorb nutrients or minerals properly

* kill friendly bacteria, unless they are fiber foods

* contain preservative, coloring, and other additives that are unhealthy.

* Remove excessive fluids and electrolytes from your body.

Recommendation: Never use a laxative, Drugstore or Natural, when you have acute abdominal pain, especially if the pain is on the lower right hand side, where the appendix is located. See your doctor right away.

Using Laxatives for the wrong reason can be life threatening.

If you use drugstore laxative, use them for just the time needed to clear your constipation. Then starting looking at what it takes to stop your constipation from occurring.

Aromatherapy today. What is this?

medicinearticles — Fri, 16 May 2008 07:37:04 +0200

Healing power of herbs and flowers known since time immemorial. In ancient Egypt, for example, priests have used a variety of essential oils derived from herbs and plants for active influence on the consciousness of people, and the pharaohs essential oils have greater value than gold and slaves. In ancient Greece, where actively studied the healing properties of plants, found that plant essences have different effects on the body, they can initiate, refreshing, usyplyat or simply relaxing. It Greeks began flavoured butter and use it for medical and cosmetic purposes. The Romans even created a flourishing perfume industry and were even more wasteful than the Greeks in the use of aromatics, they umaschali essential oils her hair, clothes and body, bed, even military flags and walls of their homes. In our time, the revival of aromatherapy as a separate science began only in the 20 century, when in 1920 French chemist Rene Gattefosse-perfumes, working in his laboratory in the experience received serious burn hands and absolutely accidentally okunul hand full of lavender oil in the tank, thinking that there is water. He was very surprised when the pain from the burns became subside, but after some time has stopped altogether. He continued to make bandages with lavender oil. Burnt hand not only healed, but it does not even have any scars and scars. As a scientist chemist, he reviewed the lavender essential oil and discovered that it contains a large number of biologically active elements.
He continued to study and concluded that the essential oils have unique healing properties. Later Gattefosse wrote: "Doctors and chemists would have been so struck by the diversity of fragrant substances that can be used for medicinal purposes, and the enormous diversity of their chemical functions. In addition to its antiseptic and antimicrobial properties, they have antitoxic and antiviral properties, they have a powerful effect initiate energy and heals wounds. In the future, their role will grow even ". He was away in 1928 first applied the term aromatherapy.

In the early 21 century aromatherapy in Europe and America is experiencing a real "boom", as one of the fastest growing industries in alternative medicine. In Europe, Canada, USA, Japan and employs hundreds of classrooms aromatherapy, published dozens of books on it, there are entire academic institutions, and publishes magazines about the direction of alternative medicine. Even health insurance companies to include aromatherapy in the list of services. In a number of computer companies established procedure aromatic prevention. Many leading experts argue that scents can save people from perenagruzok at work. And two years ago had passed the test of aromatherapy in London subway: there is blown fresh air with the addition of lemon essence, with a view to lifting the mood among passengers.
Such a rapid revival of aromatherapy is not accidental. In the 20 century, it was scientifically justified influence of essential oils per person. Modern scientific discoveries have confirmed that essential oils have not only the pharmaceutical effect, but also have a powerful emotional impact on the human body. The rapid development of aromatherapy connected with the fact that people simply tired to use chemistry, essential oils 100% natural and do not contain harmful ingredients. Moreover, unlike the "modern" drugs essential oils used in aromatherapy, have no side effects. Instead, they help to achieve harmony and health, peace and tranquillity.
And so what aromatherapy today? Aromatherapy - the improvement of mental and physical health through 100% natural essential oils derived from plants.
The main objective of aromatherapy is certainly restoring general equilibrium and use the body's own vital energy. Aromatherapy pleasant and easy to use, provides a permanent and stable positive result, contributes to the restoration of self-regulation mechanisms and stabilizes human biorhythms.
