The anti-haemorrhoidal chair is invented

Not one visitor of the international exhibition of inventions could indifferently pass past the stand with prezervativom, into which sharp-witted inventor from Taiwan managed to build-in vibrator.

The second place on the caused interest is engaged the anti-haemorrhoidal chair, designed by designer from South Korea. The seat of chair sheds the fluids of medicinal grasses, podogrevayemye by spark plug. On the idea of the author, this crafty construction will free rider from such troubles as bolt, haemorrhoid and poor blood circulation.

Generally, with this haemorrhoid - continuous haemorrhoid. Important international pharmaceutical company let out press release with reminding: cream from the haemorrhoid is intended not for face, but for the opposite part of the body. Program on the television became occasion for the unplanned lesson of anatomy. In it participated the invited stylist, who by chance blurted out, that many fotomodeli use cream from the haemorrhoid in the mornings in order to decrease swelling around the eyes. Sales of medicine immediately went off scale, so that for pharmacists it was necessary to appear with the warning. In particular the physicians request not to allow the entry of cream into eyes.

Alas, if we are introduced to the statistics, then it becomes not to the laughter. On our prevalence let us compare haemorrhoid with a cold, and many suffer this illness, even without suspecting about this, but indeed under the mask of haemorrhoid, especially with the isolations of the blood from the rectum, frequently flow such illnesses, as polyps and kolorektalnyy cancer.

Meanwhile diagnostics, both the haemorrhoid and other proktologicheskikh illnesses for the specialist -proktologa it does not represent difficulty with the presence in it of the corresponding diagnostic equipment.

Apparatus by the name computer video- rectoscope makes it possible repeatedly to increase and to process the image of rectum for the development of the smallest changes, imperceptible with the usual checking. This gives the possibility to reveal and to treat the diseases of rectum also at the earlier stage, when they yet do not cause sufferings.
For treating the proktologicheskikh diseases medicine proposes a today whole series of effective methods. In particular, the method of treating the haemorrhoid without the operation with the aid of the laser and the sclerosing therapy.

The latter is to the injection of the substance, skleivayushego haemorrhoidal knots. Ceased to function knots no longer cause uneasiness and gradually generally they disappear. This is effective even in the heavy, neglected cases, when other doctors direct to the operation.

The treatment of haemorrhoid consists of several half-hour visits to the doctor with the interval approximately during 3-7 days. During the treatment the patient completely preserves his ability to work and conducts the active means of life. If patients arrived not too late, the complete elimination of haemorrhoid without the hospitalization and the surgical intervention is guaranteed.

The international network of clinics SUN conducts free consultations both in the departments of clinic, located in 8 cities of Israel, and in regime on- Lina.

The connection between depression and osteoporosis is discovered

Depression can lead to the loss of the bone mass, which reaches such values, that this becomes the reason for osteoporosis. At this result arrived the scientists of Jerusalem university under professor raz's management Yirmiyi in their work, published in the last release "it was working the National Academy of Sciences" (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences).

Osteoporosis appears, as a rule, in elderly people. However, besides age it can be caused by some other reasons. For example, several conducted investigations showed that in those, who suffer depression, bone density is noticeably reduced. But for no direct connection between these states established could not be.

In order to find this dependence, scientists conducted experiences on the laboratory mice. Created for experimental animals the special conditions, as a result of action of which were observed the behavioral signs, similar to the depression in people, for example, mice manifested no activity, which could provide pleasure, and did not assume participation in social interactions with each other.

Significant decrease in the bone mass was revealed in four weeks of the maintenance of this state in mice. As a study of their bones showed, reason became worsening in the renovation of bone material - the process, which supports bone density at the healthy level. This was evinced by the decrease of the number of osteoblasts - the cells, which manufacture bone tissue.

As researchers they showed in their work, entire matter in disruption of the work of sympathetic nervous system, "including", as a rule, with the stress reactions. During its making more active is separated the hormone the noradrenaline, which disastrously acts on osteoblasts. This making more active is strengthened with the depression, and the mentioned problems with the structure of the bone appear after a certain time.

In the confirmation the scientists demonstrated, that the treatment by the preparation, the locking action of noradrenaline in the bone tissue, stops her disturbance, proceeding with the depression.

Researchers hope that their work will mark the beginning of development of new medicines for treating the depression. In connection with this company Yissum, which works with the Jerusalem university, studied the patenting of the method of treating osteoporosis with the aid of the antidepressants.

Physicians learned to reseat the eyelashes

Lyubitel'nits plastic of the operations of every kind awaits surprise - now surgeons can it make a transplantation... of eyelashes. This operation - last mode in the region of kosmetologii, which was carried on the United States.

Clients pay 6 thousand dollars for the procedure, similar to that which is used for the transplantation of hair to the growing bald men. In this case the hair from the head reseat to the upper eyelid. Then hair takes root and it begins grow; therefore new eyelashes must be regularly cut and waved.

People with the straight hair they advise to make chemical waving of the reseated eyelashes for the more realistic form. This operation they propagandize as the necessary procedure for the women, who dream about the thicker and longer eyelashes or who transferred the "loss of eyelashes as a result of injury or abuse of additional eyelashes".

Furthermore, and among the men it collects popularity. According to the surgeons, the operation is conducted under the local narcosis, it occupies from one to two it is hour it makes it possible to attain the effect, which in the past was reached only due to the stuck artificial eyelashes, densely painted by India ink.

"long thick eyelashes - the universal sign of beauty", says doctor alan Baumann, who has a practice in Florida. the "transplantation of eyelashes for the eyes the same, that an increase in the breast - for the figure". Another surgeon the doctor Of dzheffri AN, the docent of Columbia University, on his Web site declares himself by the first American doctor, who carried out an operation on the transplantation of hair on the eyebrow and eyelashes.

In the course of this operation for the transplantation the hair from the occipital region of patient are taken and they are sewn to the upper eyelid on one hairspring. Each hairspring - them to one eyelash depart about 50 - grinds to the slender tip before they implant and implant it to the place with the aid of the resolved threads.

This operation, by the cost of the order of 1600 pounds for one eye, was initially developed for the patients, who transferred burn or suffering the inherent defects of the form of eye. But rumors about this were extended, and now approximately 80% of such operations are conducted through the the kosmetologicheskim to reasons.

27-year Erik Lynn, model from Florida, which by surgical way increased to itself breast and changed the form of nose, three ago passed operation on the transplantation of eyelashes, since to it it tired to use artificial eyelashes. "as soon as 4 about this it learned, 4 I could not this but make, she says. - everything, coma 4 about this told, also they want to make to itself this operation. Eyelashes never there is too much ".

Do you work at the computer? You are in the risk group

The discussion deals not with that situation, when you include computer, but it appears at the screen: "Disk C: not found "or" Boot sector is failure "... Your state at this moment psychologists call "sharp stress", and it can lead to the infarction.

But even with the normal "load", man after the computer subjects himself to danger to fall ill not to the joke because of the "position itself", into which he falls. In those, who much sit, between the seat of chair and the body is formed the thermal compress, which leads to hemostasis in the pelvic organs and gives beginning sadly to known disease - haemorrhoid.

In the normal state the haemorrhoidal knots, which there is in the organism of each human, no one interfere: the protuberances must be smoothed out with the defecation in order not to interfere with the passage of feces. Hemostasis in to basin and excessive straining they disrupt position it is main, they slip down downward and is created that, about which by words you will not describe - it is necessary to test. Then reconstruction and ischemia occurs, this leads to an increase in the sizes of haemorrhoidal it is main, to their buckling outside. Now not one ointment will help.

Haemorrhoid - one of the most extended diseases. 40% of turnings to doctors apropos of bowels are connected with the haemorrhoid. Proktologi consider that 70% of people sooner or later encounter with the haemorrhoidal symptoms. They risk everything! Each of us can earn haemorrhoid. But if you the whole day (or night) sit before the computer, probability to secure haemorrhoid is begun still above.

Proktologi advise each hour of continuous seat to make squattings, "squeezing" or any gymnastics.

But if THIS already happened, then the main thing - not to be occupied by self-treatment! Diagnosis "haemorrhoid" must be confirmed by specialist - proktologom: the more serious diseases of thick gut can be hidden under the mask of haemorrhoid.

Reject false shame and not boytes'! Clever people fear disease, but not doctor. Today there are procedures of the treatment of haemorrhoid without the operation, which are not caused be ill and those troubles, with which is usually connected surgical treatment.

In the international network of clinics SUN the treatment of haemorrhoid consists of several visits to the doctor with the interval approximately during 3-7 days. Each visit of doctor occupies in patient not more than half-hour, after which the patient can return to the work and even news the active means of life. Secret - in the use of force of laser beam and advanced technology of treatment, developed by the specialists of clinic. For the patients, undertaken the treatment, the complete elimination of haemorrhoid without the hospitalization and the surgical intervention is guaranteed.

Keys from the memory are stored in... the strawberries

As is considered scientists, strawberries not simply tasty berry. The one who eats it regularly, at the elderly age does not suffer from the loss of memory.

Researchers conducted laboratory experiences on the mice even they note that the powerful antioxidant, which is contained in the strawberries, strengthens the work of the brain.

The group of California specialists studied the properties of the natural substance of fisetin (complex glucoside), which protects cells from the degeneration.

As reported doctor pamela Maer, fisetin can prove to be presently "svyashchenny graalem" for strengthening the memory; however, in order to give precise answer and to open all special features of this unique substance, additional studies are necessary.

As writes the newspaper Sun, by one strawberries memory not to improve. Indeed so that the fisetin, which is contained in the strawberries, would act entirely, necessary to eat during the day to five kilograms of berries. But so allergy to not long earn. Experiences continue.

Fear causes cancer

The group of American scientists completed "striking", according to their own words, discovery, after demonstrating the presence of the connection between a feeling of fear and the development of oncologic diseases. Results are described in periodical Hormones and Behaviour, reports Live Science. A feeling of fear, generating cancer, does not shorten life - in the course of studies it was possible to demonstrate the absence of correlation in the lifetime between the formation of cancerous tumor and the loss of experimental animal in both groups of experimental animals - "cowardly" and "brave".

In the course of the experiments, set by the scientists of their university of Chicago under the management of doctor March Makklintok, was investigated the group of 81 female of the specific form of the rats, inclined to the development of the malignant new formations of breast and hypophysis. Was studied the "readiness" of each of the mice at the age of 20 days to study new for them, deprived of the visible threats, medium - i.e., the individual degree of the fear, to which each individual was subjected. Then, when mice reached the age (390 days) average for them, scientists verified, in what mice began the development of cancer, and in what - no.

Results proved to be impressive on the persuasiveness. Cancer was revealed in 80% of "cowardly" mice and only in 38% of those, who "brave" mastered new medium.

The results of a new study make it possible to make a conclusion about the presence of of deeper than it was assumed contemporary science before, the connection between the "personality" and the physiological processes (or, if conveniently, between the "soul" and the "body"). This makes it possible in a new way to approach the development of the connection between the development of cancer and the special features of nature in man.

Excess weight is frequently connected with the shortage of sleep

The problem of children's obesity in many instances is connected with the fact, how long child will sleep. As reports today Greco- Cypriot press, the researchers from the British Bristol university came to this conclusion.

In the children, who sleep less than 8 it is hour in a 24 hour period, differently are manufactured the hormones, which control appetite, counts Shakhrad Of takheri, the representative of the group of scientists from the Bristol university. In this case children's sleep becomes increasingly shorter because of the television sets, the cell phones and the computers, which render to the young generation the exciting action. Researchers consider that all latest achievements of technology must be removed from the rooms, where children live.

However, many parents in Cyprus are not agreeable with the recommendations of British researchers. To remove technology from the children's is impossible, they count. Contemporary children do not think of themselves without the technical entertainments: the Internet, text communications on the cell phone also of survey telecast.

In the opinion of the chief children's pediatrician on the island Of savvasa of Savvas, about the interrelation between the excess weight and chronic nedosypom known long ago. "those people, who will sleep less than 8 it is hour in a 24 hour period, more frequently have excess kilograms, if we compare with those, who rest more than this period. Sleep plays the leading role in the development of obesity; however, this illness appears as a result of the entire complex of different factors ", he said. Savva added that the best method for dealing with the unnecessary kilograms - correct nourishment and the active means of life, which assumes valuable sleep.

Lilac tomatoes will save from cancer

The scientists of Oregon university derived the new type of the tomatoes, which possess lilac rind and contain a number of the useful substances, unusual for the usual tomatoes. The pigment, which is contained in the lilac tomatoes, contributes to reduction in the risk of the disease by cancer and the disturbance of the activity of heart.

Six years are shrewd to the removal of the new cultivated type. After only two years new tomatoes can fall on table to users. However, researchers report that at the basis of their experiments lie not the chemical and genetic mutations, but the real tomatoes, which grow in South America.

Several hundred years ago researchers revealed in the jungle of South America the tomatoes of lilac color, but that form tomato did not fall on tables, since fruits were very small and places even poisonous.

Already in THE XXI century a discovery the new properties of lilac tomatoes made the student of Oregon university Karl Jones. He established that the lilac wild tomatoes, in contrast to the red fellows, contain anthocyan, chemical connections, which impart to fruits lilac color and possessing the properties of antioxidants.

The professor of Oregon university, who leads by project, stated that his lilac tomatoes thus far badly are sold. It asserts that a study is not set as a goal to change peace; however, gives the possibility to make this to farmers and salesmen of vegetables.

At the same time, although the local residents already can purchase lilac tomatoes, farmers and salesmen nevertheless do not hurry to be connected with the new form of tomatoes.

Buyers are frightened, when such vegetables on the counters see, professor reported. Also thus far stands problem with the taste of fruits, which is differed from standard. But scientists work on by it and hope after several years to bring the organoleptic properties of lilac tomatoes into correspondence with the needs of users.

In more than those 60% interrogated the parents were also veterans.

To 11,2 million Cubans are fallen about 3 thousand people, which reached 100- summer age.

The results of a study were promulgated at the national seminar of gerontologists in the city Santa Klara, reported Cuban newspaper "khuventud to rebelde" (Juventud Rebelde).

The unstructured games are important for the child


The American academy of pediatrics published the report, in which it is indicated that "free and not structured" of game are vitally important for the child, since they make possible for it successfully to be developed and to fight with the stress.

Parents must not force children's games into strict time frame. If children are deprived of the possibility of free game, they are depressed and subsequently they can suffer depression. It is better, that can make the parents, in order to prepare children for the adult life - to grant to them its love, good councils and to personally serve as model for the imitation.

The American academy of pediatrics also recommends the buying of the toys, which facilitate the development of children's imagination (for example, doll and cubes), but not toys and games, which do not require imagination (i.e., they can be used only by strictly defined means).

Each child is unique; therefore parents must in the individual order approach planning of children's occupations. Parents must not aim child exclusively to the studies. In order to succeed in the adult life, child must not succeed in many spheres (for example, simultaneously in the studies, the sport and the drawing); however, circles and sections are necessary for the qualitative development of child.

Finesses of the female orgasm

Traditionally scientists do not leave at rest female orgasm. This time it underwent the fixed study of specialists from the universities of Melbourne and Sidne and English university Of sasseksa.

Researchers carry ouied the interrogation of 19 307 Australians, which made it possible to establish that those women, which used "the sex- toys during the past year" and "they were occupied by the sex of more than two once a week in the last month before the interrogation", they considerably increased probability to feel highest enjoyment from the sex.

The completely not social and economic factors serve as the fundamental moment of female dissatisfaction: everything depends on the appropriate attention, exerted by man to the female partner during the sex: "orgasm during the usual vaginal relation was achieved with the minimum group of women - 50%. A quantity of satisfied women sharply grows to 70%, if during the sex was used manual'naya or oral stimulation ".

It is possible to consider that the fact that a maximum quantity of women (76%), who successfully reached orgasm, is locatedamong the pairs of nontraditional orientation interesting fact.

Great Britain - leader in Europe on obesity

Great Britain leads among the European countries according to the number of adult, which suffer from obesity. About this the data, given by the British Government and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development testify (OECD - ORGANIZATION FOR ECONOMIC COOPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT).

In Great Britain 23% of adult they suffer from this illness, while in Switzerland this index composes 7,7%, while in Italy - 8,5%.
By world-wide leader they are considered THE USA - there, according to some data, obesity is noted in each third adult.

Furthermore, in England remains the break between the north and the south in the region of public health and quality of life. In people, which live in the northern regions of England, the cases of obesity and death from the smoking more frequently are noted; furthermore, in them is shorter lifetime: here they live for one yr less in comparison with the "southerners" of woman, and men - for two years.

Separately differed Boston city in the county Of linkol'nshir - he leads in the number of cases of obesity. In the report it is at the same time noted that here threw to smoke since 1998 of approximately 1,2 million people.

According to the data of the Ministry of Public Health of Great Britain, if we undertake no measures for fight with the unhealthy means of life, then already to 2010 in England there will be about 13 million people, who suffer from obesity.

In the interview the BBC the prime minister of Great Britain Tony Blair stated that the government must take upon itself the concern about the health of nation.

"certainly, it is difficult to find division between forced measures and desire to report to the people important information about the fact that they can make in order to improve its health and health, said Tony Blair. - but if this campaign actually something changes to the best, then this is simply our responsibility - to report necessary facts to the people ".

Government considers that to report information about the healthy means of life must first of all the supermarkets and schools.

However, the representative of charitable institution Weight Concern Ien Campbell assumes that the problem of obesity not to solve via the assignment of information to the people: "the roots of this problem lie much more deeply. Therefore it is necessary also to attain the adoption of other measures - in particular, the limitation of the advertising campaign of unhealthy food, and also creation of conditions so that the people could more drive on the bicycle and walk on foot ".

The minister of public health of shady office, the member of the Conservative Party of Andrews Lansli noted that the laborists, after arriving at the authority in 1997, forewent the provided by government tory of measures for fight with obesity.

Miracle- liquid stops hemorrhage in seconds

Leykoplastyrnaya bandage in the house and tampons in the operating room can leave into the past because of the surprising invention of the group of scientists from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and university of Hong Kong. They created the liquid, which consists of the specific collection of peptide. With the entry to the surface of the open wound these peptide automatically are collected into the gel, which reliably shuts damage. Experiences on the hamsters and the rats showed that the hemorrhage ceases less than in 15 seconds.

In this case in the course of time the gel is decomposed into the amino acids, which are used by an organism for restoring the damaged section of cloth.

Researchers successfully tested this liquid for the rapid stoppage of hemorrhage with the open wounds on the skin, the brain, the liver, the spinal cord and the bowels of experimental animals. Almost in all cases it was possible to rapidly stop hemorrhage.

This liquid, naturally, will prove useful to people. In particular, with its aid it is possible to stop hemorrhage during the cavity operations, causing in this case no side-line damages of organs. "the time of conducting operation can be reduced to 50%" ", asserts the chief author of a study of Ellis- Behnke Ratledzh from MIT.

Nervous life of the Americans

Agency Harris Interactive explained, what problems complicate the life of Americans to the greatest degree. It turned out that from 14- TI of the most unhealthy problems, only three were connected with the money. Most of all the inhabitants OF THE USA suffer from an increase in the prices (similar it disturbs 74% of those interrogated). In the second place - chronic overload and a deficiency in the time, the presence of too great a quantity of matters, which must be made (56%). On the third insomnia and the fear of the fact that in the case of the appearance of the swagger- major circumstances, existing money will not be sufficient to their permission (on 53%).

For the comparison, 43% of Americans disturb health status, 29% - solitude, 24% - problems on the work, 21% - problems with the old man- parents, 19% - problems with the children (interrogated we could name several problems; therefore the sum total of marks of more than 100%).
The calmest life in the Americans of the elder generation (61 yr and more). Women suffer from it is stress more than man. The young inhabitants OF THE USA considerably more frequently complain about the solitude than the representatives of elder age classes. The representatives of sexual minorities are more frequently than people of traditional orientation, they suffer from the poor health. Americans with the low incomes rest, considerably more than disturb money problems, while Americans with the high incomes - chronic shortage of time. It is interesting that the reloading and the shortage of time conduct after itself and other problems: for example, 76% of those interrogated, which complained about the chronic hurry; also were experienced problems with the sleep.

In the beginning of 2006 periodical Journal of the American Medical Association, published the results of the study, together carry ouied by the British University College London and American RAND Corporation. In the course of a study were compared identical with respect to age, incomes and habits the white inhabitants of Great Britain. As it proved to be, Americans considerably more frequent than Britons suffer from the diabetes, the hypertonia, the cardiovascular diseases, the strokes, the diseases of lungs and cancer. The reasons for this are not completely clear, although there is a popular theory, that the reason consists in considerably the more nervous life, which conduct the inhabitants OF THE USA.

Marijuana will help the patient with Alzheimer's disease

A new study shows that the active constituent of marijuana can avoid the progression of Alzheimer's disease, preserving the level of the important neuromediator, which makes possible for the brain to function.

Researchers from the scientific research institute Scripps to California opened, what active constituent of marijuana THC prevents the destruction of acetylcholine - the mediator of central nervous system - it is better than today the medicines used.

THC also effectively blocks the formation of the accumulations of proteins, which leads to worsening in the memory in the patients with Alzheimer's disease.

The patients with Alzheimer's disease suffer from the loss of memory, retarded making of decisions, disturbances of lingual and engine functions. To accurately determine the reason for this illness for doctors establish could not, although it is considered that it is transferred by the inheritance.
