Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the biggest causes of death in adults in developed countries. When deposits of plaque, calcium, and other cellular waste products harden against the arterial walls (atherosclerosis), there is a discontinuity of blood flow through the body and these blockages in the coronary arteries result in CHD

New Strategies to Curtail High STD Rate among Adolescent Girls

During the 2008 National STD Prevention Conference in Chicago , the researchers at ‘Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’ presented a paper pointing out to an alarming increase in large number of cases of teenaged girls and adolescent women being infected by sexually transmitted infections. It also stressed upon on addressing the prevention of these diseases as an important public health goal.

The paper was based on an investigation of data reported in the ‘2003-04 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey’ done among a sample of 14- to 19-year-old girl participants. It was found that approximately one-fourth of this population sample was infected by at least one of the sexually transmitted infections, the maximum number of instances reported in the case of human papillomavirus. Other major infections were reported for the infections like ‘Chlamydia Trachomatis’ and ‘Trichomonas Vaginalis’.

As stated in the background information for the new study, published online Tuesday in The Lancet, there have been 376 reported cases of infection with H5N1 virus around the world as of April 2, with 238 deaths since November 2003.

Smoking during pregnancy has links to Baby’s low birth weight

According to a study in the latest Medical Journal of Australia, teenage moms who smoke during pregnancy their babies are more likely to suffer from low birth weight (LBW) than the moms who don’t smoke.

Associate Professor Elizabeth Sullivan and Denise Chan from the University of New South Wales analyzed the link between smoking in pregnant teenagers and baby birth weight. They discovered though smoking throughout pregnancy increased the risk of LBW, the babies of mothers who gave up smoking 20 weeks before gestation had birth weights almost same to babies born to non-smokers.

LBW is a basic indicator of a newborn’s overall health and also affects childhood development and predisposes children to chronic disease later in life. Decreasing the quantity of cigarettes smoked during pregnancy also affects the risk of LBW in infants. The authors state “Our results suggest that there is further scope to decrease smoking in pregnancy in teenage mothers,”.

Brain Hemorrhage outcomes may improve by lowering Blood pressure

According to a pilot study, Intravenous treatment to greatly lower the blood pressure of people who’ve just undergone hemorrhage in the brain may improve their prognosis.

Bleeding in skull often causes a quick climb in blood pressure, which may give further bleeding and the growth of the hematoma (a region of inner bleeding). The background information in the study suggests that it can cause the patient’s condition to get worse and enhance the risk of disability or loss of life.

To lower very high blood pressure as soon as possible in patients, with intracranial hemorrhage, is recommended but there is little support on when to start treatment or how much to lower blood pressure. This takes to wide dissimilarity in managing of high blood pressure in these patients.
