How asthma and allergy symptoms are triggered
2008-01-21 09:51:00 In demonstrating that a group of calcium ion channels play a crucial role in triggering inflammatory responses, researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) have not only solved a longstanding molecular mystery regarding the onset of asthma and allergy symptoms, but have also provided a fundamental discovery regarding the functioning of mast cells. Their findings appear in the January 2008 issue of Nature Immunology. A group of immune cells found in tissues throughout the body, mast cells were once exclusively known for their role in allergic reactions, according to the study's lead author Monika Vig, PhD, an investigator in the Department of Pathology at BIDMC and Instructor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. "Mast cells store inflammatory cytokines and compounds [including histamine and heparin] in sacs called granules," she explains. "When the mast cells encounter an allergen - pollen, for example - they 'degranuate,' releasing their... More About: News , Asthma , Symptoms
Food Allergy Study Treats Kids With Allergen Proteins
2008-01-21 09:51:00 BALTIMORE -- A new study at Johns Hopkins Children's Center shows that treatment is possible for children with food allergies and that the problem could one day be eliminated altogether. The study involved treating children with milk allergies not with medicine, but with the proteins to which they're allergic in order to build a tolerance. Dr. Robert Wood said that more children are suffering from food allergies than ever before and they're lasting much longer. He said that instead of disappearing by age 5, the allergies are lasting into the teens and sometimes early 20s, increasing the chances of accidental exposure. Wood said that over the last year and a half, results of the study have been amazing. He said that several of the children who previously weren't able to have milk at all can currently tolerate certain amounts. To find out more about food allergies in children, visit kidshealth.org.

Child's allergy meds cause big trouble
2008-01-21 09:51:00 On Friday afternoon our son, who is 12, had plans on going home after school with a friend of his. Our son is an honor roll student and neither of our boys have ever been in any kind of trouble. Our son also have severe sinus/ allergy/ asthma issues, in fact he missed 20 days of school last year due to an operation he had to have on his sinuses, which the school knew about, and he has been on these prescription meds ever since! The medicines are Clarinex, Singulair, Inipremine,daily vitamin and two Advil. The secretary of the school was in hall on Friday when my son had his bag open showing the boy the games he had brought to play that afternoon.

Poor kid said yea, my mom packed them for me. (They) also argued the fact that one of them was a multi-vitamin. Now th... More About: News , Meds
Vital: Most Kids Outgrow Their Allergy To Milk
2008-01-21 09:51:00 ALLERGIES to cow's milk are, in most cases, a childhood condition with around two per cent of British infants and children affected. Most people usually grow out of it - just 0.1-0.5 per cent of the UK population continue with the allergy in adulthood. Often goat and sheep milk can act as an substitute. However, the proteins within these and soya milk can sometimes cause a negative reaction - if you suffer from this, consult your GP. Lactose intolerance is entirely separate from cow's milk allergy. It happens when the body's natural enzyme lactase is in short supply to digest milk sugar. Some unpleasant symptoms can include constipation, cramps, bloating, flatulence and diarrhoea. In comparison, cow's milk allergy is caused by a reaction to milk proteins, which in rare cases can lead to an anaphylactic shock. Still, taking milk and dairy products out of your diet may lead to food deficiencies. These contain calcium, magnesium, protein, phosphorous, vitamin B... More About: News , Kids , Milk , Vital
Parents blame toothpaste for allergy death
2008-01-21 09:51:00 BLACKBURN, England, Jan. 18 A British couple said their daughter died from a severe allergic reaction to toothpaste, although a coroner's inquest ended with an open verdict.Francesca Sanna's parents, who live in Oswaldtwistle, England, say that she had complained for some days before her death that her gums hurt, The Daily Mail reported. She went into anaphylactic shock just after brushing her teeth. Coroner Carolyn Singleton refused to blame the toothpaste, saying only that Sanna, 19, died from shock and an allergic reaction."She must have come into contact with or ingested something that caused her death," Singleton said. "She was a young lady who was very careful, she knew what she could and could not touch." Sanna's mother said after the verdict that she thinks the Aquafresh toothpaste, which has redesigned packaging, might have added something that triggered the reaction. A spokeswoman for the manufacturer, GlaxoSmithKline, said the formula has n... More About: News , Death , Parents , Toothpaste , Blame
Consuming Extra Virgin Olive Oil Helps To Combat Degenerative Diseases Such
2008-01-21 09:46:00 ScienceDaily (Jan. 21, 2008) ? In the 1960s, Ancer Keys, a US expert on nutrition, studied the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet for the first time. Since then many studies on the benefits of olive oil have been conducted. According to several studies performed in Italy, Spain and Greece (the main olive-oil-producing countries), the incidence of diseases is lower in these countries than in Northern Europe. The Environmental, Biochemical and Nutritional Analytical-Control Research Group, directed by Professors Alberto Fernández Gutiérrez and Antonio Segura Carretero, used the most advanced analytical techniques for a precise study on the antioxidant properties of olive oil, characterized by its polyphenolic composition and its potential to combat degenerative diseases. The study was completed with the collaboration of the Institut of Nutrition and Food Technology of the Universidad de Granada and the Nutrition Team of the Hospital Virgen de las Nieves (Granada).

TREVOR Stagg has terminal cancer, but counts himself pretty lucky.
2008-01-21 09:46:00 By JO MACFARLANE Thousands of mothers whose children have cancer could be at increased risk of developing breast cancer themselves, a study has found. The mutation of a gene known as p53 ? which all of us have and which normally suppresses cancer ? could mean that mothers and their children are more susceptible to the disease. The faulty gene could affect steroid and hormone levels in the womb, which may not only predispose children to cancer but also sensitise mothers' breast tissue. The potentially groundbreaking study follows research which identified a link between children with soft-tissue sarcomas ? a form of cancer usually found in teenagers ? and mothers with breast cancer. But this new research suggests that many more women may be at risk than was previously thought. The findings shed fresh light on inherited forms of cancer which could eventually lead to better identifying of those most at risk. It is hoped that the evidence could be used to scr...

What to do if your dog has cancer
2008-01-21 09:46:00 Stephen SheldonVail, CO ColoradoJanuary 21, 2008 Unfortunately, the "C-word" invokes just as much fear for our four-legged friends as it does for us. By now you know from my columns, dogs and cats are very similar to us ? they live the same lifestyle, have similar physiology and anatomy, and suffer similar diseases. Cancer is no exception. According to a new Morris Animal Foundation study, one in four dogs will die of cancer. If you are a golden retriever the odds are a whopping 60 percent that you will die of cancer. Past studies revealed that 11 percent of visits to a veterinarian are for cancer-related issues. I don't know about you but it makes me happy to see the Morris Animal Foundation launch a $30 million initiative to cure animal cancer in the next 10 to 20 years (and if you are one of those who feel money spent on pets is wasted, this research will be used to help cure human cancer, too). One of the first indications your dog or cat has cancer are swelling... More About: News

Thalidomide to be trialled against mesothelioma
2008-01-21 09:40:00 Janelle Miles NOTORIOUS morning sickness drug Thalidomide, which caused severe birth defects in the 1950s and 1960s, is about to be trialled as a treatment for asbestos-related mesothelioma. Cancer specialist Nick Pavlakis said Thalidomide had been shown to inhibit blood vessel growth within tumours and he planned to test its value in mesothelioma patients. He hopes to recruit about 100 patients Australia-wide for the study, which will compare those receiving chemotherapy with others given the standard treatment as well as Thalidomide. "We want to find out after they've had chemotherapy . . . if we give Thalidomide can we then control the disease for longer and maintain quality of life for longer?" Professor Pavlakis said. He said the results of the trial would be combined with a similar study taking place in the Netherlands. Thalidomide is already listed on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme as a treatment for multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer. Studi... More About: News , Mesothelioma , Elio
New year drug breakthrough for mesothelioma patients
2008-01-21 09:40:00 Janelle Miles TREVOR Stagg has terminal cancer, but counts himself pretty lucky. Mr Stagg was diagnosed last June with asbestos-related mesothelioma ? a legacy of working as a semi-trailer driver transporting fibro sheeting for James Hardy in the early 1960s. He was given a year to live. Six months on, Mr Stagg, 70, is upbeat. "I've been really great, actually," he said. Part of that he credits with staying positive and strong support from family, friends, neighbours and his local Catholic church. "There's an 82-year-old who lives across the road. She hobbles over on a walker with fruit from her tree. That sort of thing is really lovely," he said at his Victoria Point home. Mr Stagg also believes the expensive chemotherapy he's been receiving has been halting the cancer's progress, increasing survival and giving him an improved quality of life. Research has shown the drug cocktail ? a combination of Alimta and cisplatin ? increases su... More About: News , New Year , Patients , Drug , Mesothelioma

The 80 year old died of inhaling so much asbestos form the pipework on board ship that he contracted malignant mesothelioma, a coroner ruled on Thursday. A post mortem revealed that Mr Manns, who died at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital on December 19, last year, had a reading of over 191,000 fibres per gramme of lung tissue - a "significant" level. Gloucestershire coroner Alan Crickmore recorded a verdict that Mr Manns, of Windyridge, Bisley, died of an industrial disease. His wife Patricia said she had met her husband in Stroud 60 years ago, while she worked in the drapers and he played snooker nearby.

Contemporary Home Office Furniture
2008-01-18 01:25:00 Any old chair will not do: comfort and support are crucial if you intend to spend a substantial amount of time at your desk. It's hard to beat a well-designed office chair with height adjustment and swivel mechanisms, but if you have a favorite chair you want to use, make sure it has lumbar support to protect your back, and add a cushion or two if you need extra comfort and height. Efficient lighting is essential to prevent eyestrain. Tempting as it may be to work in front of a window, it is not the best place for a computer screen. See if an L-shape set up is a possibility, so the computer is against the wall and you can turn to face the window when writing or using the phone. You will almost certainly need extra task lighting after dark to give clear light over the desk without shadows. The light provided by a desk lamp could be too bright or low. Consider an adjustable lamp, or fix spotlights or halogen lights to the wall or a shelf instead. Look at the position of e... More About: Office , Furniture , Home , Contemporary , Home Office

Cookies Prompt Splurging on Expensive Sweaters
2008-01-14 05:13:00 Appetitive stimulus affects behavior in a specific domain. Exposure to something that whets the appetite, such as a picture of a mouthwatering dessert, can make a person more impulsive with unrelated purchases, finds a study from the February 2008 issue of the Journal of Consumer Research. For example, the researchers reveal in one experiment that the aroma of chocolate chip cookies can prompt women on a tight budget to splurge on a new item of clothing, according to ScienceDaily. "We found that an appetitive stimulus not only affects behavior in a specific behavior domain, but also induces a shared state that propels a consumer to choose smaller--sooner options in unrelated domains," explains researcher Xiuping Li (National University of Singapore). In the first experiment, Li asked participants to act as "photo editors of a magazine" and choose among either appetite stimulating pictures of food or non-appetite stimulating pictures of nature.
