Believe viral defence in lab

A team of Canadian scientists of the University McGill has discovered in a lab the way to potentialize the natural defense system of an organism against the viruses, making potentially to the immune cells to the flu and other attacks humans.

In spite of the good apparent notice, the scientists assure that for the moment this process cannot be carried out in human cells, but in spite of this, they assure that the technique could help to the development of antiviral new therapies.

The key of the process is the stimulation of the protein interferon that are in the battle front that you have each cell against the virus attack. To boost your production, the investigators were able to delete two key genes in mice that allowed a bigger interferon production, that that in turn blocked the virus playback, especially those responsible for the flu.

This fed the expectations about the possibility of combatting a variety of strains responsible for the lives of millions of people, the famous pandemics, as the one that currently threatens us, the famous flu to prepare.

Now, the following step is to achieve it with human, maybe with another technique but with the same results. Also, abnormalities or side effects were not detected so in the lab mice the scientists they are already hands to the work to design a drug that can behave in the same way in the gene human.

Old-age - The Third Age

The maximum duration of the life in the mammalias is on or about the sextuple of the period of increment, that which mean in the man 120 years, since anatomically it is given had concluded the increment with the welding of the epíficis of the long bones of the extremities, fact that happen in the the 20 year-old man alredeor. But this is only the theoretical form of defining the maturity. The man generally dies for cancer or other illnesses.

All ésto takes to that different authors have your respective conclusions about the determination of the period of the old-age, but in all ways it is patent that you are not convenient to be axiomatic in this issue. The involución sometimes begins to ages very different, even for individuals subject to the same conditions of life, emotions, power supply, work, etc.
You have also been observed that in many families there is a predisposition to age prematurely and in other, on the contrary, the fenómenoss involutivos makes your appearance belatedly and they reach very advance ages.

They influence in the beginning of the old-age, apart from the incidence in the individual of certain pathologic processes, the interpretation that each person gives to the ageing, as well as the image that subjectively have of the ancianidad.

Excluded the childhood, the mortality that are relatively low among the youths, ascends slowly toward the groups means and you reach the summit between the 65 and the 75 years of age. On the contrary, in the underdeveloped countries, you are an enormous infant mortality and you are a fixed proportion of people that you/they die in each time unit and you give place to some much more smoothed mortality curves.

They are well many the autore that consider that the start of the phenomena of the senescencia has an etiologic take-off in the degenerative processes, of an organ, well of a system.

The alteration in the hormonal secretion of the glands endócrinas, especially your decrease, you have allowed to elaborate diverse hypothesis explaining the lawsuits of the ageing. This way, the atrophy of the sexual glands and the consistent ullage of hormonal secretion was interpreted like lawsuit of the senility.

You were a biologist and Russian surgeon, Voronoff, who at the beginning of the XX century, in a trip for Muslim countries observed the precocious old-age of the eunuchs and your death to early ages; you related these facts with the ablation of your testicles, you conceived the possibility from a therapy substitute inhertando genital glands coming from young primates to aged people, you achieved with it some successes that popularized your theories extraordinarily.
Later on it proceeded also to implant the gland thyroid and the hypophysis at the same time that the genital ones, with that which seemed to come closer more to remedy the bugs that accuse in the hormonal order the aged organism.
You are verified indeed in the senescencia a hipotiroidismo syndrome, with a decrease of the basal metabolism, dry and cold skin, accented sensibility to the cold, dilatory cerebración, memory leak, hypercholesterolemia, etc., that they translate a hipofunción of the thyroid with atrophy of the gland, returning the symptomatology with the implantation of fresh glandular tissue or with the management of the hormone.

The Poliomelitis

The poliomelitis is an illness infecciosovírica that affect the children fundamentally, although with pettier frequency it also attacks the adults. You appear in epidemic buds in some countries and in form endemoepidémica in others. Such variances depend on the state inmunitario of a population in front of the infection for the virus of the poliomelitis.

This illness, you are caused by a virus that infect the organism through human-to-human transmissions or for via insinuation, when they act as vehicle the liquids that the man uses in your to live quotidian. These liquids, such as the water, the milk, among other, they can be infected by the own man or for waste waters that infect the conditions of drinking water. The human-to-human propagation of the virus through seemingly healthy individuals is explained by the following facts: the virus penetrates in the organism for via digestive and you nest in the pharynx and, especially, in the intestine, where you reproduce extraordinarily and you are deleted by means of the feces. You originate an illness of pharyngeal or digestive determinism, and only by one percent of the polluted ones it causes paralysis. In the remaining ones, the illness decreases to some bare anginas or an intestinal dysfunction that it cure spontaneously. The individual that have suffered this infection, is definitively immunized, because you have been formed in him a rate of enough antibodies to exercise an attestation and you activate protection. This status antigénica is the one that also believe the vaccination antipoliomielítica. The ingestion of repeated vaccine dose for virus inactivado believes a state of practically permanent defence. The inyeción of dead (bovine Salk) virus determines a reaction inmunitaria equally, although less active and durable than the vaccination for via oral type Sabin.

The contamination of a not vaccinated person, unchains an illness that begin clinically, after a period of incubation of 10 or 12 days, with anginas or digestive dysfunctions, accompanied by thermal slight elevation. In the forms non paralytics, the clinical box is reduced to this symptomatology, so not very characteristic. In the paralyzed forms they are added to the mentioned dysfunctions two clinical absolutely characteristic symptoms: fever (with elevations between 38 and 39º), and pain (localized in the extremities so much higher as inferior and you increase during the mobilization attempts) .Aparecen the espamos and muscle cramps, extremely painful and of progressive path. This period, called preparalítico, you are characterized by pain and fever whose duration is of 2 or 3 days and that you end in the paralyzed period, during which the muscular typical paralyses are set up that can affect to any muscle group, although preferably, to the inferior extremities. In occasions, the paralyzed muscles are the intercostal ones and others that have had made the pulmonary ventilation, with that which the calls respiratory forms of the infantile paralysis are constituted.

The path of the poliomelitis can be very desfavorabe, especially when the calls factors of graveness converge, among which it highlight for your importance, the respiratory form of the poliomelitis. Another factor of graveness is the participation of the cerebral trunk and still of the own encéfalo, in the process lesional.

Sleep is Good for the Memory

Starting from the XX century and with the input of the artificial light, they have gone decreasing progressively the hours of dream in the population of the industrialized countries. This new reality that among other allowed to extend the family activities and of leisure, and you implanted the night work and for rotational shifts, you also modified, of drastic way, the lifestyles of millions and millions of people. Sleeping, far from being an inactive stage of rest, you are a state of biologic intense activity during which hormone changes, metabolic, thermal, biochemical, cerebral and mental, are operated fundamentally to achieve the balance psicofísico and the sensation of well-being during the day. If you doubt, to sleep is important. You not only know it who sleep bad: you are difficult to think that you are about a banal issue if the organism invests in this a third part of the life.

One of the main features of the dream, and maybe the most sophisticated, is to strengthen the memory: the most recent investigations demonstrate that the process of storing the information in the memory is carried out while you fall asleep.

During the night dream, the incorporate data are reactivated and reproduced time and again by the hippocampus - very petty field of the interior of the brain where that is stored that memorize. With each repetition, the information is sent, in turn, to the cerebral cortex, where you leave recording more and more deep in the brain tissue, integrating this way the called "memory of long term." That is to say that while you fall asleep, the informations pass on one side from the brain to the other one. therefore, what memorize during the day, consolidates during the night. This is the lawsuit for the one which who have slept well he/she can have to the awakening a more ordered vision of the problems that you/they have been pending, or even to find the olución to a problem while you fall asleep.

During the dream, the brain comes off of the whole useless information of the day and new connections take place among the neurons, with the appearance of more and cerebral better circuits. And to bigger circuits, bigger performances of the stocks of the brain.

The stressful very traumatic tests are recorded with stability in the memory and vivid memories that last in the time take place. On the contrary, the stress if you are less intense but more prolonged, you injure the hippocampus and therefore, you deteriorate the memory.

To sleep is since an irreplaceable feature you are the only mechanism of which prepare the brain for your own retrieval. During the dream, the body, the brain and the mind you restairan to themselves although, paradoxically, all continue very enabled.

Then in that statement that at some time all hear that you said: you seek advice to sleep on it the serious subjects before making a decision", we can say that you have a lot of effectiveness, since the best thing that can make the person before a problem, a challenge academic or complicated decisions, is exactly, to sleep well.

The Soy

The soy is you would originate of China; and besides being considered part of the five sacred cereals together with the rice, the wheat, the barley and the millet; you are a vegetable that for more than 4.000 years it has been indispensable for the life in the Far East (as energy and I eat medicine). Nevertheless ésto, in West was newly in the XVII century that you began to use in Europe, in the XIX century in United States, and at the beginning of the XX century as human energy.

The soy constitutes an excellent font of vegetable proteins of first quality, with a nutritious similar power to that of the flesh. You also possess dietetic abundant fiber and unsaturated (which are very useful for the metabolism of the cholesterol) fatty acids; and you also contribute vitamins of the complex B, match, iron and calcium. Nevertheless this alimentary power, for a better absorption of the iron, for example, suits to accompany him with rich foods in vitamin C (tomato, kivi, melon, pepper, citric, medicinal yeast, etc.).

In the beans (not in the flour or in the oleum), you are from a 2 to 3 lecithin%, the one that constitute most of the cellular membranes and the muscles, eats the protective layer that surround the body likewise. And like you are well known, the lecithin helps to prevent the arteriosclerosis and the cardiovascular illnesses. You also increase the brain activity.

You have been proven (although they follow the studios) beneficent goods of the soy and your derivates in the women: decrease of the hot flashes or menopausal heats; reduction in value of the cholesterol; prevention of cancer .sobre all that of mamma -; etc. In the men, prostate cancer prevention; deletion of the bad cholesterol; treatment of the diabetes type II; etc. Not we can stop to mention that the soy is an energy free of cholesterol (provided you are not procedural industrially).

In spite of your kindnesses, the soy or soya, you possess certain enzyme (the enzymes are specific enzymes, taken place by the organism, necessary in the corporal physiology) that cancel the protean absorption. So that the body can take advantage of the kindnesses of the bean soy and you be appropriate for the usage (in taste, digestibilidad and antiflatulencia), this enzyme, the antitripsina, you should be disabled.

Lastly say that the advisable intake would be from 15 to 25 daily (2 soup spoonfuls) grams for the adults (between 75 and 125 weekly grams) and 10 grams for the children (bigger than 5 years). You are preferable to eat followed than a great quantity in only one day.

Chakras

To be able to understand how to activate the chakras that are in our body, is necessary to understand what they are in a start.

Essentially the chakras is energy centers and vitality that are distributed throughout the human body. When these are in balance, the person enjoys good health so much physics as mental.

The term chakra is Sanskrit, old language OF India, in which mean "wheel." And according to the medical Hindu theory, the chakras is centers or "gates" that are in constant movement, turning and absorbing the energy of the Cosmos toward the interior of the organism and making it return to the same one.

The intensity and the good march of that exchange, depend exactly on the aperture of the chakras. When they are blocked, the power flow is discontinued taking place physical and psychological problems.

You are important to know where they are these points to be able to activate them like you correspond solving those problems that affect the person of having determined way. You can achieve this way a mental health condition, spiritual and physics.

These points are the following ones:

Saharara: you are the chakra of the crown and and you represent with a lotus of a thousand petals. You integrate the human thing with the transcendent thing and you bring near to the sky and the divinity.

Agna: you know it to him as "the third eye" and you are related with the hearings, nose, eyes and brain stem. You allow to see non visible things in the material world. You also determine the intuition and the contact with the mystic thing.

Vishudda: you are the chakra that are in the field of the larynx. You are the center of the communication. In harmony, you facilitate a flowing respiration and a safe expression. The fear can make that you are locked, affecting to the speech. You strengthen displaying the blue clear color of the sky.

Anahata: you are the chakra of the heart. You affect to the lungs, to the same heart, the chest and to the blood. You associate to the love and the sympathy. To strengthen it, you should be meditated displaying the green color, in a forest. To open this chakra, an open rosa should be contemplated.

Manipura: you are the chakra corresponding to the solar plexus. You are our car image. In harmony it generates clear pansies and healthy emotions; blocked you generate cholera and hostility. To harmonize her it is necessary to display the yellow color.

Cataract Operation of the Eye lens

He is named cataract to the operation of the eye lens, and it in fact consists on extracting it opacificado. Usually, the eye lens has the form of a biconvex lens and a size of 10 millimeters in equatorial sense and 5 millimeters of anteroposterior axis. For the accommodation quality, thanks to some special fibers, it is the one that completes the most important paper because it is the one that decides the focus of the proximate objects.

The lawsuits that can give place to the cataract are multiple. Among them hereditary factors that would determine in the mature or senile age their formation fit. On the other hand, genetic and embryological factors exist, and already in the maternal cloister he/she can the petty one to lose temper, with the following appearance of a congenital cataract that will show in the youth in occasions.

But, there are also general illnesses that can end up manifesting this illness: the diabetes, the intoxications (be due to the naphthalene, to the thallium or the rye ergot), and certain medicinal preparations that are used to cure the obesity and that they contain dinitrofenoles. Those cataracts generally enter a quite quick evolution and their only treatment consists on the operation. Other less frequent lawsuits exist, as a consequence of dysfunctions endocrinológicos pluriglandulares, as gónadas and paratiroides. In the mongolism and the mixedema it is also conserved, in occasions, the appearance of cataracts.

The most usual case is represented by the call senile cataract whose lawsuit is not still known with accuracy, but that it constitutes a positive manifestation of the age. They probably take place in the organism metabolic general dysfunctions that little by little drive to the formation of the cataract. At the beginning they are noted in one or both eyes diverse symptoms, being the main one the visual gradual forfeiture. He suits to keep in mind that simultaneously to the appearance of the cataract, the sick person can it turns affected by other eye diseases that if they are not on time, they would originate complications that can waste or to already make useless the operation of cataracts.

If the patient uses correction, he notes that her glasses don't help him I eat before, you see the deformed images and he searches a luminous more efficient focus, or on the contrary, the (when the opacificación takes place preferably in the center of the eye lens) sick person is better in the dimness, because when dilating the pupil you go with more easiness. At the beginning, it still fits some change in the corrective glasses, but as the cataract, this measure evolves it is useless, the patient loses vision and the best thing is an intervention for the expert.

Allergy to the Medicines

In general terms, the answer of our organism to the entry of a chemical substance with therapeutical ends obeys a laws that are subject to the share farmacodinámica of the used medicine whose toxicity grade or harmfulness has been studied previously. But it is not room for doubt that, in a certain number of patients, this pharmacological share theoretically foregone it escapes from the orbit of the communio one and the individual responds from an accidental way to the oral or parenteral management of a medicine. Doing without more or less of theories ingenious and truthful, it is possible that the accidents caused by the medicines can be classified in the following way:
1-high grade of toxicity of the used medicine and whose symptoms show up in most of the cases.
2-certain patients, for different reasons and as soon as determined, but not related with the allergy, they don't tolerate, like it is current, the chemical substances. To procure a pharmacological desirable share, it becomes precise to be administered them to much pettier and more unusual dose. We speak then of intolerance.
3-in some occasions, the effects that are expected are absolutely cross to those that it was logical to wait. It is about a personal paradox and it is for example what happens, when when giving an antihistamínico that averagely produces drowsiness, the individual it responds with a nervous general excitabilidad, desorbitada and unforeseeable; we could speak then of idiosyncrasy, in the sense fully etymological of the word.
4-in other cases, the fellow can enter, immediately to the entry of the medicine, whichever it is the nature of this and the contact modality, a type of divorced reaction completely dela nature of the substance and of his share farmacodinámica. It connects it with what the physicians are accustomed to see when they speak of syndromes anafilácticos or allergic. The word allergy should be reserved for this reaction type that involves a sensitization; it doesn't import now, and here, if in the antecedents they are allergy traces or not, and if they believe to know or on the contrary to ignore, the mechanism humoral or cellular that has unchained it.
5-finally, it exists another group of patients that, in front of the entry of a chemical substance of the type medicine, they unchain shocks with circulatory immediate failure that you/they very possibly owe you to the release of a substance called histamine whose pharmacological affection is the responsible for the serious dysfunctions. The relationships that can exist among the lawsuit, the allergic etiology and the pathogenetic unchaining mechanism, the histamine, they cannot be described here.

Until another type of anomalous answers to the medicines, such as those that in fact show up when discontinuing them; still in case, until that moment, they were very supported; it constitutes it an answer rarity that, for the unusual thing, we only mention it.

The clinical boxs to that the allergy medicamentosa can give place are extremely varied, I eat for example: shock of the type anafiláctico that is the most serious in these accidents; syndrome similar to the illness of the serum; fever medicamentosa, possibly many times to the own antibiotics and whose appearance suspicion outlines the physician a therapeutical query quite difficult of resolving; alterations cellular hemáticas; asthmatic crisis, rinitis and allergic conjunctivitis; cutaneous manifestations, of the erythema type, urticaria, edema, eczema; and hepatic, renal and gastrointestinal alterations.
