رسم توضيحى للتصلب العصبي
 Researchers at the University of Groningen Royal Dutch to prozac drug used to treat depression may delay the onset of symptoms of MS.

The researchers conducted their study on a group of multiple sclerosis patients, half of them were subjected to a drug, Prozac, while the other half was given placebo has no effect, without informing them.

The study - published in the British Medical Journal and reported in the Dutch media recently - a survey of the brain every four weeks for the elements of the study, to identify the incidence of infections they have, what is one of indicators of disease progression.

After eight weeks showed that patients who took placebo had developed infections than those who attain drug Prozac.

At the end of the study, which lasted 24 weeks there have been no new infections
Two-thirds of those who ate drug Prozac, compared with 25% of those who took placebo.

It is noteworthy that more than one million people suffer from MS worldwide, developed a disease that affects the central nervous system and lead to the deterioration of the patient's condition gradually and consistently.

Different symptoms of the disease from infected to time in accordance with part of the injured central nervous system.

Eating a sufficient amount of protein necessary for older women

صورة لامرأه مسنة
 Medical study said that eating a sufficient amount of protein necessary to build the muscles of older women, which are less responsive to the diet of the muscles of men the same age.
The study, conducted by the British and U.S. researchers, 29 people between the ages of 65 and 80 years.
The researchers found they are from the Faculty of Medicine at Washington University in St. Louis that the construction of muscle protein in men has increased, on average, after eating a meal and liquid but not get the same result for women.
It is known that age-related decline in muscle could contribute to the fragility of the disease, disability, and where women are at greater risk; because they have less muscle.
The results indicate the new "mechanism differences" between men and women with regard to decline in the muscles.
He also points to the need for the research team that deals with older women in particular, enough protein foods such as eggs, fish and meat free of fat.
Although the rate of muscle building protein for women, on average, no more food in response to the liquid, some women have shown a small increase.
According to the research group that included a meal experiences relatively small amount of protein that may not be enough to promote the building of protein in the muscle in some women.
She said that some research suggests that exercise may enhance the response of the muscles of the food, but it is unclear whether the combination of additional protein and regular exercise can help older women to continue to build muscle.

Test predicts the occurrence of heart attack

صورة توضيحية لمكونات القلب
 Moderation safety of Berlin, Elaph: enable doctors in the hospital Charité in Berlin to develop a blood test can be expected for the first time to predict persons at high risk of heart attack. This examination, which shall be to those who complain of chest pain will help to determine the status of these patients carefully at whether they were in real danger of a heart attack advanced level in six months, or that their lighter weight and lack of experience only. Scientists are very optimistic and say that this new test will enable them to help surveys other on the expectation of occurrence of imminent heart attack accurately up to 85 percent, which could not be achieved by now, At present doctors use ECG to investigate the presence of damage to a heart attack in people who were thought to be a heart a heart attack, and there are several blood tests but not one of them is fit to be a factor Menbia reliable.
The new test measures the level of an enzyme called Mailubaroxidaz. The form of this enzyme is carpeted arteries when fatty deposits are likely to rupture, resulting in a wandering clot in the body to turn up to the heart. This test was conducted at the Berlin hospital on more than 600 patients admitted for treatment because of complaints of chest pain.
Researchers have found that patients with higher levels of this enzyme are at high risk for a heart more than four times in two months than others. When compiling the results of this test with the results of selection of commonly used troponin, which measures the levels of different components of blood, doctors will be able to expect 85 percent of those who are in grave danger. Commented Brent Hubert cardiologist in Berlin on the test by saying that the blood test This is the first simple test allows us to define the patient next to the hospital because of pain in the chest, whether in the early stages of a heart attack or is in danger of exposure to them over a period ranging between the 30 to 60 days.
According to him also the biggest problem was to find tests accurate enough to predict whether the chest pain will lead to a heart attack or not fully defined. In many cases, rest assured the doctor to the patient after conducting several tests and analyzes laboratory key, then surprised a week later that the patient has dropped dead suddenly, and reached the doctors then to believe that they are still losing episode, but the new test is now considered an easy and inexpensive , and this is why Bkipriat pharmaceutical companies to express interest in its development.
Has long served the human heart with all its symbolism since ancient times, he is the symbol of love and also a center for various ailments that beset us suddenly, Vtnqlna from the world of life to the realms of death. Have become more frequent recently, heart disease and the pain of angina chest to the heart attack to stroke with the emergence of risk factors that did the trick for us in front, such as race, age, genetics and other risk factors updated as smoking and fats in the blood, diabetes and obesity, all of these things are talked about Dr. Zeidan generosity in his heart health
Dr. Karam that angina is like a clarion danger that predict injury coronary artery disease, and often show features the injured coronary artery or more Btadhaq very important, when the artery patients shrinking to a level 70%, often continue the flow of blood in it in sufficient quantities to long as the person is comfortable and his heart beating normally, recording between 70 and 80 beats per minute either when making an effort sharply (run or a game in tennis), the amount of blood that feed the myocardium becomes then not enough that it can not increase due to narrowing of the artery, which lead to the suffocation cells (lack of blood oxygen carrier) and thus to the emergence of pain in the chest, and what draws attention is that this pain soon disappears when you stop Vtaatdhael effort is thus a need to myocardial oxygen before this pathological symptoms.
Cardiac arrest
Three centuries ago and the interest of specialists focused on this issue, which form a unity is indivisible, comes the sudden death of a sudden and in a brief that is, they are immediate or that they occur within a few minutes, affecting this type of death, nearly 300 thousand people in the United States, and 30 to 50 thousand people in France, nor have we in Lebanon, official figures on the subject, but we can see in comparison with the average in the United States and France, where the number exceeds 2000 cases per year, and sudden death in our country.
Risk factors
If the main reason that lies behind the injuries the coronary arteries remains to this day a matter of controversy and the attraction of views, but efforts are continuing in order to investigate the risk factors and monitored closely through lifestyle living, as well as we have seen recently, scientific studies and statistical and wide scale aspire to the same direction.
If what we raised, for example, the issue of motorists, to show us that the percentage of injuries, dangerous or even fatal traffic accidents rise with deterioration of the car mechanic and excessive speed and lack of commitment to connecting a seat belt while driving, and to publicly face the same problem in coronary artery disease that afflicts individuals addicted to smoking or suffering from high cholesterol or diabetes or high blood pressure or obesity or lack of movement: These data are in fact risk factors.
While the resulting combination of these factors to the worsening health status, but both of them is embodied in a different way depending on the circumstances accompanying it, and so result in an inheritance, for example a prominent role in this context, it is no doubt that everyone could go to the citation so Alakol - smoker - tense the decades Nevertheless, eighty years old or so Alguenua Pacific athlete who suffered a heart attack and he did not exceed the fourth decade of life.
In fact we should distinguish between two types of risk factors
* Factors that medicine remains helpless about it, any sex, age and genetics.
* Factors that can actually meet them, no smoking rate and the disruption of fats in the blood and the problem of high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, stress and the high rate of uric acid in the blood, and lack of exercise and finally take oral contraceptives in women.
We can also classify these factors as physiological (age, sex, genetics) or satisfactory (high blood pressure, impaired rate of fats, diabetes mellitus) or unusual any linked pattern of daily life (smoking, eating foods rich in saturated fat, lack of movement).

Watch your weight in Ramadan!

شخص بدين
 I noticed that patients who are committed to diet to reduce system weight fear the month of Ramadan in the knowledge that the diet will not be as effective and that the weight will increase during the holy month. Paradox may seem strange, although fasting for a whole month, which is supposed to decrease the weights Ozanna increase during the month of Ramadan! And this phenomenon may seem somewhat strange to those who did not live in our society. But he who lives in the community has, without doubt, some interpretations. Have demonstrated this phenomenon on several research samples of fasting was shown to increase weight when a sample of young people are fasting during Ramadan, and demonstrated by researchers from the city of Jeddah similar results in previous research. We attribute this phenomenon for several reasons, most important of which increase the caloric intake during Ramadan. In the month of fasting, preferably fatty food community and desserts for some reason is not clear because the increase in eating this kind of food at night (the time which did not invoke the stomach to eat it) cause digestive disorders and may lead to ensure a second reason for weight gain. Research has shown that the acute shortage of sleep affects the metabolism in the body and cause weight gain. Finally, we found in previous research that exercising less sharply in Ramadan, and people tend to idle, laziness, and this is another reason for weight gain. I hope this year to get rid of the wrong habits and make the holy month season to maintain health and all Happy New Year

Seizure

شخص مصاب بمرض الصرع
 Epilepsy is a disease that baffled researchers, but their knowledge of it are constantly evolving, which appeared more effective medicines and improved detection techniques with him much, and find doctors to new methods in surgery, and open the door of hope in the research on the relationship of this disease is hereditary. Flashes on epilepsy

Epilepsy is a health problem is manifested by nervous crises and epileptic seizures caused by spontaneous discharge of neurons that are excessive in the case of irritation can be likened to a storm, electric, and results from these movements and the state of Nubia beyond the control of the patient.
Epilepsy is a health problem is manifested by nervous crises and epileptic seizures caused by spontaneous discharge of neurons that are excessive in the case of irritation can be likened to a storm, electric, and results from these movements and the state of Nubia beyond the control of the patient.
And could continue to be the disease for months or remain for life, with a break for ten years on average, and recover 50% of children infected with the disease when they reach adolescence, while having the rest of the inherent drugs are often effective and enable them to normal life.
This disease does not detract from the age of intelligence and not destroy the brain, contrary to what can that comes to mind especially when we note the patient's condition during a seizure, for example, when involuntarily fall on his head or shaking when the vibration. And produces epilepsy in 5 to 10 percent of the cases as a result genetic factors and in 40 percent of cases result imbalance in the brain (malformation or trauma to the skull or swelling ...), and active crises epileptic help of factors Kaltab, alcohol, and remains the source of this disease is not known when half of the cases affected. The situation in which the patient's epilepsy had him not to do certain tasks or make certain professions Xyakh truck or public transport vehicles or work in a place high above the ground or affectation machines serious, and the remaining validity of the doctor concerned and doctors work to determine the possibility of the patient something .
Types of epilepsy and its symptoms:There are two types of this disease: epilepsy year (30% of cases) and partial epilepsy (70% of cases).Vaba partially reflected in the specific area of ​​the brain and the symptoms vary according to the affected area and sometimes it is difficult to know the epileptic seizure, epileptic seizures and be partial simple or complex depending on the patient if they maintained contact with his surroundings or not. It can sometimes be transformed into a seizure begins, where the general electrical storm in a particular area of ​​the brain to spread thereafter in the rest of the brain, with the following inventory of some of the symptoms by type of epilepsy:
Symptoms of simple partial seizure:Patient to maintain contact with realitySuffers from various problems (difficulty speaking properly, spasms and tremors members, warp audio and video ...)Problems in the senses (smell and taste different ...)Problems in the stomachEventhough a sense of fear andOne of the Nuba seconds to three minutes
Complex partial seizure symptoms:Circumstantial loss of touch with realityAutomatic and automatic patient, for example, where the movements of non-target and mumbled, showing movements of chewingDoes not retain any memory of the injured heartOne of the Nuba seconds to three minutes
General Symptoms of a heart:Loss of consciousness and fallingMuscle stiffness inRhythmic spasm and convulsionThe large number of salivary secretionsComa and muscle relaxation may occur with urination or exit of stoolThere is often vomitingConfusion when awakeningDoes not retain any memory of the injured heartNubia for 3 or 4 minutes but can sometimes wait 20 minutes before returning to the original state
The development of scientific research in the detection of the disease and followed by:Focuses on the diagnosis of the doctor described the condition of the patient during the crisis, epilepsy, or the results of the electrical activity of the brain. Professor Michael Pollack, brain and nerve specialist and head of the Paris hospital: can magnetic resonance imaging to understand the cause of the disease because it reveals parts of the brain affected. The antiepileptic drugs do not affect the same way, he must try several medications before reaching the appropriate medication, and sometimes the patient must take two or three drugs, at the same time.
In recent years appeared new drugs made it possible to improve the lives of patients and can stop taking them after a few years, but 30 per cent of the disease of epilepsy is still resistant to these drugs, and if the affected area in the brain accessible it can be a surgical intervention, in particular, and that progress in medical imaging enabled identification of foci responsible for this disease. In the past, taking pictures of the brain at a given moment but today, thanks to functional magnetic resonance imaging enables experts from imaging brain activity during epileptic crises or get accepted. If this did not work the way it can enter electrodes are very small in the deep areas of the brain, guided by expert special machine in the direction of pre-defined places where there are still a few days to record seizures. Thanks to these techniques become more precise surgical procedures because it was able to avoid harm brain areas for speech and sound and sight to remember ...
And researchers are currently studying the molecules that can affect the brain to prevent epilepsy in people qualified injury by the disease, such as those with a genetic predisposition or infected tumors or Severe Mental skull, so that interfere with these molecules to resist generation Neuromodulation is natural and electrical charges that result in get to the heart.
