Air pollution tied to survival odds for liver cancer patients
Air pollution tied to survival odds for liver cancer patients By Madeline Kennedy (Reuters Health) – For people diagnosed with liver cancer, living in an area with heavy air pollution from industry, traffic or smoke is linked to lower odds of survival, a California study finds. The association between levels of tiny particles known asContinue reading “Air pollution tied to survival odds for liver cancer patients”

Climate Change , the facts
GREENHOUSE GASES such as carbon dioxide (CO2) absorb heat (infrared radiation) emitted from Earth’s surface. Increases in the atmospheric concentrations of these gases cause Earth to warm by trapping more of this heat. Human activities—especially the burning of fossil fuels since the start of the Industrial Revolution—have increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations by about 40%, withContinue reading “Climate Change , the facts”
Acute myocardial infarction; imbalance during ischemia-reperfusion ; mitochondrial energy adaption in cancer, obesity and metabolic disorders
Acute myocardial infarction is characterized by changes in biochemical properties during ischemia and reperfusion. The heart can survive a short period of ischemia by reducing myocardial contractility, increasing glucose uptake, and switching metabolism to glycolysis. However, considering that the heart is one of the most energy-demanding tissues in the body, sustained oxygen and nutrient deprivationContinue reading “Acute myocardial infarction; imbalance during ischemia-reperfusion ; mitochondrial energy adaption in cancer, obesity and metabolic disorders”
Where do we stand on our fight against cancer causing substances?
We keep adding a list of these carcinogens or toxins each year. We have produced and manufactured foods in the factory in greater quantities and have to rely on so many chemicals. Educating the public about the hazards of these carcinogens is very slow and tricky. We have seen an increase in number of womenContinue reading “Where do we stand on our fight against cancer causing substances?”
