Healthy diet in diabetes tied to less kidney disease NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - People with diabetes who ate a diet consistent with general health guidelines and high in fruit, vegetables, fiber and unsaturated fat were less likely to develop kidney disease than unhealthy eaters, in a new study. Researchers also found that eating normal amounts of salt and protein was not tied to a higher risk of kidney disease or death - despite doctors traditionally recommending people with diabetes go easy on those nutrients. "Most of the recommendations we give are opinion-based, I think," Dr. Rainer Oberbauer, who worked on the study at the Medical University of Vienna in Austria, said. "Since there are no randomized trials on the other parameters that they usually recommend such as salt restriction, fruits, vegetables and so on, doctors recommend what's kind of logical and intuitive without any real data." Among people with diabetes, high amounts of sug...

Learning how to handle it really helps. You can do a lot of it yourself, and a counselor or doctor can also help.   Sex-Drive Killer: Partner Problems Problems with your partner are among the top sex-drive killers. For women, feeling close is a major part of desire. For both sexes, watch for fallout from fights, poor communication, feeling betrayed, or other trust issues. If it's tricky to get back on track, reach out to a couples counselor.   Sex-Drive Killer: Alcohol A drink may make you feel more open to sex. But too much alcohol can numb your sex drive.

    Background Plasmapheresis is a term used to refer to a broad range of procedures in which extracorporeal separation of blood components results in a filtered plasma product. The filtering of plasma from whole blood can be accomplished via centrifugation or semipermeable membranes Centrifugation takes advantage of the different specific gravities inherent to various blood products such as red cells, white cells, platelets, and plasma   Membrane plasma separation uses differences in particle size to filter plasma from the cellular components of blood Traditionally, in the United States, most plasmapheresis takes place using automated centrifuge-based technology   In certain instances, in particular in patients already undergoing hemodialysis, plasmapheresis can be carried out using semipermeable membranes to filter plasma In therapeutic plasma exchange, using an automated centrifuge, filtered plasma is discarded and red blood cells along w...

ومن العادات الغذائية الصحية والسليمة التي يجب أن يتمسك بها الصائم ويطبقها في شهر رمضان بدء الإفطار على السنة النبوية، وذلك بتناول ثلاث تمرات لما في ذلك من فوائد عظيمة، من أهمها : - التمر سريع الهضم والامتصاص خلال ساعة من تناوله، مما يسرع في إمداد الجسم بالطاقة، وسكر الفركتوز الموجود بالتمر يعوض السكر المحترق في الدم نتاج الحركة وبذل الجهد، فلا يفتر نشاط الصائم ولا يتعب . - يقوي التمر الكبد والقلب والدم لما يحتويه من منجم من المعادن السهلة والسريعة الامتصاص . - يحفز تناول التمر المعدة والأمعاء على إفراز الإنزيمات الهاضمة، فيسهل هضم باقي الإفطار الذي يحتوى على البروتينات والكربوهيدرات . - يساعد التمر على تصحيح حموضة البول الناتجة عن الصيام، مما يقي الجسم من تكون الحصوات . - التمر غنى بالفيتامينات والمعادن، وغنى بالألياف الغذائية، مما يجعل الصائم يشعر بالشبع فلا يندفع إلى تناول الطعام بصورة كبيرة تضر بجهازه الهضمي .

  What Is a Urinary Tract Infection? About half of women will get a urinary tract infection or UTI at some point in life. It happens when germs infect the system that carries urine out of your body -- the kidneys, bladder, and the tubes that connect them.  Bladder infections are common and usually not serious if treated promptly.  But if the infection spreads to the kidneys, it can cause more serious illness.

  What IS APPENDICITIS...??? . Appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix, a 3 1/2-inch-long tube of tissue that extends from the large intestine. No one is absolutely certain what the function of the appendix is. One thing we do know: We can live without it, without apparent consequences. . Appendicitis is a medical emergency that requires prompt surgery to remove the appendix. Left untreated, an inflamed appendix will eventually burst, or perforate, spilling infectious materials into the abdominal cavity. This can lead to peritonitis, a serious inflammation of the abdominal cavity's lining (the peritoneum) that can be fatal unless it is treated quickly with strong antibiotics. .

Risk of thrombosis: Another reason to avoid sitting Image via Wikipedia ( source ) I am sure by now you have all heard the messages to avoid your chair and the increased risk of premature death it may be kindly bestowing on you. Indeed there are slogans out there such as “ your chair is sending you to an early grave ”, “ make a stand ”, “ sitting is the new smoking ” and big corporations that promote this important rapidly evolving area of research – that is the study of the health consequences of “ too much sitting ”. What do we know? It’s important to appreciate that these messages about the hazards of sitting are not entirely new – as early as the 1950’s physicians were advocating breaks from sitting. Homans (1954) suggested that the “Such matters  are important enough to suggest the advisability of making movement of the toes, feet and lower legs when one is sitting for long periods and of getting up and exercising when opportunity offers.” Such recommendations were ...
