Breast cancer patients, going through endocrine treatment may show hot flashes, night sweats and joint symptoms which indicate toward gradual success of the treatment and reduction in estrogen level, that is a key risk factor of breast cancer, British researchers report.
They make comparison of women who reported these symptoms and those who didn’t, at their first visit during a trial evaluating tamoxifen or anastrozole for adjuvant therapy of postmenopausal breast cancer.
You must have heard countless times how exercise is “good for you.” But did you know that it can actually make you feel good, confident and healthy. Getting the adequate amount of exercise can hoist your energy levels and even help improve your mood.
There are three main components to a well-balanced exercise routine those are, aerobic exercise, strength training, and flexibility training. Two types of fitness machines are available in market, Bowflex and Soloflex, famous for complete fitness and time tested effects. Let’s compare these two machines.
Soloflex
First in this Soloflex vs Bowflex comparison we will discuss the Soloflex. This is a fitness machine that was released onto the market a few years ago. Soloflex machines use an elastic element to provide resistance which means, any spring or elastomer is stretched the force required to keep it moving increases exponentially. The barbell arm is a variable geometry lever that increases in leverage exponentially to match the force required, which results in a predictable and constant load to the user.
Another potential benefit to breast-feeding has come forward as fewer behavioral problems in children.
A new study finds that parents of youngsters who were breast-fed as infants have been reporting less regarding behavioral problems in their children during the first five years of life.
Similarly, the possibilities of mental health issues reduce in proportion to the duration of breast-feeding, i.e. if a child has been breast-fed for a year is less likely to develop behavioral problems than a child who has been breast-fed for just two months.
Dr. Katherine Hobbs Knutson (a resident in the department of psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston) presented the study at the American Public Health Association’s annual meeting, in San Diego. She said: “Though it’s an early finding, it indicates that breast-feeding during infancy could have an effect on behavior during childhood.”
NEW YORK - Shock wave therapy is useless for the treatment of tennis elbow, researchers informed. “There is currently no place for shock wave therapy in the management of tennis elbow,” Dr. Rachelle Buchbinder from Monash University, Australia.
Tennis elbow, common injury caused due to the overuse of tendons around the outer side of the elbow. As the name explains, it often arises in racquet-sport devotees, but can also occur with repetitive arm motions such as, constant use of screwdriver, hammering or painting.
Though tennis elbow usually improves on its own but may persist in some people. So-called extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) has been tested to treat tennis elbow, in which shock waves are focused on the problem area. ESWT is believed to work by causing microscopic injuries to the affected tissue that stimulate the healing process.
When it’s about your skin, can cheap skinceuticals products prove helpful for skin care? Is it right to buy products from skinceuticals or we really need to bother with any product at all?
The skin is known as the largest single part of the body, but it is one area that many people do not attend properly. Many people tend to pay no attention to their skin, as they think it doesn’t require very much attention. However, many skincare studies show that skin plays an important role to get rid of some amount of the waste products from our bodies through sweating and this break out of toxins through the skin can cause many skin disorders including acne. That’s why the need for the skin to breathe properly is essential.
Similarly, skin also plays another important role by protecting the body from harmful environmental factors of the outside world including damaging UV sun rays, dust, pollution and other harmful elements.
A Danish study finds that patients who were hospitalized for pneumonia and taking statins at the time (cholesterol-lowering drugs) had one-third lower death rate than those not taking statins.
According to experts, the findings are preliminary and further research is needed to prescribe statins as infection fighters.
Dr. Reimar W, Thomsen, who led the study, says: “We must interpret these findings with care.” The study has been published in Oct. 27 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine.
Thomsen adds, “Staists have an anti-inflammatory effect, and we have just begun to understand that systemic infections like pneumonia cause inflammation can possibly trigger many adverse reactions in human bodies.”
