Heart Disease, more in women
A chart shows 950,000 heart-related deaths of which 500K are women and 450K are men. Pattern: Women erode, men explode (MRI picture ) Therapy: from female stem cells Knowing the warning signs and symptoms of a heart attack is key to preventing death, but many people don’t know the signs. In a 2005 survey, mostContinue reading “Heart Disease, more in women”
Preventive care of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertensive (CTPH); prevalent in older women
Surgery is the principal therapy but knowing signs and symptoms will help you with CTPH. The Pulmonary Circulation The pulmonary circulation is made up of the blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood through the lungs (the pulmonary system). As the blood flows though the lungs, it loads up with oxygen and loses the carbon dioxideContinue reading “Preventive care of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertensive (CTPH); prevalent in older women”

Female sex hormones play a greater role than male sex hormones on neuromuscular ability for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
The study investigated the role of sex and the role of ammonia and amino acid metabolism, specifically the activity of glutamine synthetase, in survival and disease progression in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It concluded that sex is an important factor in disease progression and the response of SOD1 mice to a drug targeting a central enzymeContinue reading “Female sex hormones play a greater role than male sex hormones on neuromuscular ability for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)”
Verbal memory deficits in recreational Ecstasy/MDMA users
The study concluded that verbal learning and recall deficits of recreational Ecstasy or MDMA users are correlated with glucose hypometabolism in prefrontal and parietal cortex, while word recognition was additionally correlated with mediotemporal hypometabolism. We conclude that memory deficits of MDMA users arise from combined fronto-parieto-mediotemporal dysfunction. Ecstasy or 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) is a recreational clubContinue reading “Verbal memory deficits in recreational Ecstasy/MDMA users”
Inhibition of human aromatase (estrogen synthetase) by plant Flavone (flavonoids), for breast cancer prevention
Flavone and isoflavone phytoestrogens are plant chemicals and are known to be competitive inhibitors of cytochrome P450 aromatase with respect to the androgen substrate. Aromatase is the enzyme that converts androgen to estrogen; therefore, these plant chemicals are thought to be capable of modifying the estrogen level in women. The study concluded that Flavones areContinue reading “Inhibition of human aromatase (estrogen synthetase) by plant Flavone (flavonoids), for breast cancer prevention”
CAM, holistic ways on cancer, depression, heart health, women and men
ANTIBIOTICS Cleavers, echinaecea, golden seal, gentian, nettles, oats, wormwood. Myrrh. ALLERGIES Super enzymes by Twin labs (bromalain is key there). But a non herbal cure is more efficient. Stop eating all gluten containing grains, wheat, rice, stop all dairy foods but a little genuine yogurt occasionally is alright. Real yogurt, the kind that bleedsContinue reading “CAM, holistic ways on cancer, depression, heart health, women and men”
Thyme herb for toe fungus (guava and comfrey leaves and others)
Researchers from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and colleagues were surprised to find the herb thyme could make prescription drugs used to treat fungus work better. They have also found out how thymol in thyme works to fight fungi. Some fungal infections can be severe and difficult to cure. Examples include athlete’s foot, skinContinue reading “Thyme herb for toe fungus (guava and comfrey leaves and others)”

Serum vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 as predictor of Chronic Heart Failure
The study concluded that vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) appears to be useful in risk stratification of chronic heart failure (CHF) patients and in screening, to identify subjects at risk for heart failure related events. To assess the prognostic significance of four inflammatory markers (TNF-α, high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1),Continue reading “Serum vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 as predictor of Chronic Heart Failure”
Alzheimer’s Disease and ABCA7 gene, for lipid homeostasis in cells of the immune system
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the ABC1 subfamily. Members of the ABC1Continue reading “Alzheimer’s Disease and ABCA7 gene, for lipid homeostasis in cells of the immune system”
