Avoiding sunburn

sunburnskin are sunburn. The direct cause is the excessive and prolonged exposure to the sun’s rays are the most common first-degree injury occurs, with redness and burning of the area to be burned.

Days after the dead skin starts to peel. Second-grade lesions show clear liquid blisters, and the third grade include yelling, small wounds and ulcers.

Natural tips.

* Milk and vinegar: a glass of milk that will add a tablespoon of vinegar, when milk is cut, apply the mixture to the affected area.
* Wine vinegar, applied with cotton on red spots and repeat every half hour, significantly decreases itching.
* Warm water bath: Massaging gently, never rub the affected area, take a bath medium heat. Then dry with a towel, and use a good moisturizer and moisturizing thoroughly.

Prevent burns, exposing themselves to sun protection (sunscreens with high protection factor) in the permitted hours (before 11 and after 16 hours) always wear hats and sunglasses, full-screen cover, areas more sensitive, eyelids, nose, lips and uppers shoulders.

Tips to Reduce Thighs and Cartridge

Front of thigh muscles from Gray's Anatomy of ...

The inside of the thighs is a very difficult area to work on a daily basis. Although walking is the exercise of choice for the legs and thighs, bringing that area have to do extra exercisesIf you have a child at home ball-sized, have a great ally for the evenings of armchair and TV. Put the ball between the legs, the knees and tighten stated. You can also share a Fit Ball ball at any sports shop. It is much bigger and it works for many different exercises, including stretching. I must say that this is what I have at home, and also use it to do crunches, squats, leg and stretching. For the area of the cartridge and thighs, I also use special creams. A night and a reducing effect cold morning. Both are Mercadona of Deliplus.

My experience has been very positive with these two creams, which together with exercise and good nutrition has helped me lose 3 inches from her thighs in a month and a half.

What is Effective for Treatment of Cellulite?

celluliteFirst you have to start saying that anyone is free to have cellulite. We all have a certain amount of cellulite underneath our skin. Of course, some have more than others, but it’s natural for people to have a certain amount of cellulite. Cellulite is similar to orange peel and is simply fat deposits, which are located in the cells beneath the skin. The form of lipids (fats) under the skin is not very different from the fats found in other parts of the body, how it is located near the skin surface then causes negative effects on the appearance of it.

So what can be done to prevent or eliminate cellulite?.

Exercise is the most viable option for everyone. Engage in cardiovascular exercise several times a week will help you burn fat and tone the muscles of the legs and body in general. Although this working method is effective for many people, often some women need more than just the exercise to help your body get rid of cellulite. Following the extensive list of treatments, medical procedures can be another option. These may have liposuction, which is too expensive and at times of risk, is a procedural techniques can be effective, you also know how painful and expensive, and may have some unpleasant side effects. For some people this is the only way to evaluate and use as a treatment for cellulite removal, but are ignoring what really should be the first step to attack. More

The Dreaded Cellulite

When cellulite fits somewhere in the body resists enough to leave.

To keep cellulite at bay is to follow a diet that will help:

- clean up toxic waste
- remove fluid
- avoid constipation
- conducive to weight control

Let’s see what exactly is cellulite

Cells underneath the skin (fat cells) are responsible for storing fat that the body needs for energy.

When an imbalance occurs adipocytes fail to receive the help of certain hormones that work, are altered leading to abnormal growth and degenerate.

The body keeps storing fat and fluids, tissues become hardened and less oxygen, altered circulation, swelling the affected area increases the accumulation of toxic substances and degrade many blood capillaries.

This affects 90% of women and produces the unsightly orange peel. Mostly appears on the thighs, hips, buttocks, abdomen, arms and knees. More

Some facts about bacne (Acne on the back)

bacneThe jury is still out on whether acne is caused by stress, hormones or genetics. It’s probably a combination of the three, which means that there is much you can do to prevent acne if you are prone to have it. But once they suffer, because the skin on your face is relatively thin and easy to wash thoroughly, antibiotics, ointments for acne (such as Differin) retanoides creams (such as Retin-A), or other natural treatments acne (“toothpaste?) generally take effect.

But what to do when attacked by a case of acne on the back? Bacne While not necessarily as visible as the FACN (acne of the face), it certainly can be a devastating condition and uncomfortable. Here are some reasons why if you are prone to acne, your back may be the worst of it and how it affects your life:

• Your back is difficult to keep clean, especially if you sweat a lot, your pores may suffer, obstructing and infected. More

An investigation combining drugs and endogenous substances to treat leukemia

The treatment is active against leukemia cells without causing adverse effects on healthy cells.

An expert group Molecular Immunology Group at the University of Granada (UGR) is checking the effectiveness of a combination of drugs and substances produced by the body that act against the cells affected by leukemia, without causing adverse effects on healthy cells.

In a statement, Andalucia Innova indicated that this combined treatment comprises both the body’s own substances (endogenous) and exogenous.

Cancer is characterized by a malfunction of the cells, and proliferate in an uncontrolled way and “do not die when they should,” which is due to alterations in the genes that regulate growth and cell death.

In this regard, the researchers from Granada are focusing their efforts in studying internal dysfunctions and the search for drugs to restore normal function. The team uses substances that reverse these modifications, for the cell to properly regulate and stop proliferating.

In addition, these drugs, called inhibitors of DNA methylation, provoke the cell death (apoptosis) affected by cancer. “These inhibitors, by themselves, induce apoptosis in leukemia cells and also selectively without harming normal cells. This allows us to develop new drugs that do not exert any toxicity to the body,” explained project leader Maria del Carmen Ruiz. More

An investigation identified the mechanisms of expansion of the leukemic cells

The survey, conducted by the CSIC, defines a potential strategy for the design of future treatments for disease.

A team at the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) has discovered the mechanism by which the enzyme MMP-9 affects the survival of cells of B chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL-B) and allows the spread of the disease.

The finding, which appears in the February issue of the journal Cancer Cell, explains why they have failed the clinical trials have been conducted targeting this enzyme and defines a potential strategy for the design of future treatments for disease.

As explained by the director of research, Angeles Garcia Pardo, a research professor of the CSIC, B-CLL is characterized by the accumulation of abnormal B lymphocytes in peripheral blood, which circulates throughout the body.

As the disease progresses these cells are distributed throughout the body via the blood and reach lymphoid organs, such as bone marrow and lymph. This prevents the normal functioning of normal B cells, vital components of the defensive line of human beings, and the action of the disease results in death.

Garcia Pardo and his team of the CSIC in Madrid with the collaboration of hematologists University Hospital Puerta de Hierro in Madrid, and the Clinical Hospital of Valencia, as well as with scientists from the University of Louvain (Belgium), Justus Liebig University (Germany). More

The transplantation of peripheral blood, as effective as bone marrow

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been consolidated in recent years as a good alternative to traditional bone marrow transplantation. This method allows cells in the bloodstream of a compatible donor, able to repopulate the bone marrow of a patient with leukemia, more simply and without anesthesia. A study published in the journal ‘The Lancet’ after 10 years of follow clarifies some of the doubts that might still be on their use.

For hematopoietic progenitor cells (blood stem cells able to repopulate the bone) ‘enough’ to refer to the donor pre-treatment to multiply the presence of these units in their blood and then extract and implant in a patient with leukemia or other haematological malignancies.

As explained by Dr. Javier Lopez, a hematologist at the Hospital Ramón y Cajal de Madrid, the peripheral blood has an advantage over bone marrow, which is that “offers a faster recovery,” because it takes less time to ‘catch’. So, now usually opt for this technique to treat patients with advanced leukemia, to ensure that your bone marrow recover quickly. While in patients with less advanced disease, is chosen by the bone marrow, which takes a few more days at work in exchange for offering a better safety profile.

In order to clarify the differences between the two methods in the long term, the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (from Germany led by Dr. Birte Freidrichs) has compared the evolution of 329 patients with various types of leukemia treated both transplants across Europe between 1995 and 1999.

After a median follow-up 10 years (the most extensive to date), the researchers found no difference in the prognosis of survival with bone marrow or peripheral blood (donated by both brothers supported.) In fact, they add, although patients treated with this technique were more complications of rejection (the so-called graft versus host disease), this problem did not result in more deaths.

In patients with acute leukemia, there was a trend of survival better (although not statistically significant) in bone marrow transplant with peripheral blood. Only in chronic myeloid leukemia were more positive results with peripheral blood. “These findings suggest that there is a subgroup of patients who may benefit even bone marrow transplantation.”

“After a decade of monitoring, increased incidence of graft-versus-host disease did not result in a greater number of deaths, nor affected the overall health of patients, nor their social integration, complete these European hematologists . In his view, the results do not allow to conclude for themselves that it is time to return to bone marrow transplants for certain indications, but that this technique can not be parked entirely at the moment.

Already more than 3,000 patients died from cholera in Zimbabwe

This is the most deadly epidemic that has occurred in Africa in the last 14 years

The outbreak of cholera in Zimbabwe over the lives of 3028 people and has infected 57 702 as of yesterday, the update daily published by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

Figures released by the agency show an increase of 57 deaths and 1579 new infections. The outbreak of this disease is most deadly epidemic that has occurred in Africa in 14 years.

In the ten provinces in Zimbabwe is divided have been no cases of cholera and the NGO World Vision has reported previously that the disease has spread to rural areas. “The rapid deterioration of the health system in Zimbabwe, the lack of adequate water supplies and lack of action (…) have led to the cholera epidemic,” the organization said in a statement.

The report reveals that there have been fatalities in the 10 provinces and in 55 of the 62 districts. However, the disease is hitting in a special way in the provinces of Harare and Mashonaland West, which has recorded the highest number of victims.

Two weeks ago, a spokesman for the World Health Organization (WHO) recognized that the epidemic had not yet been controlled. According to the organization, the situation is exacerbated by poor health facilities, as almost half of deaths occur even in specialized care centers.

Japanese researchers have developed a new vaccine against smallpox

A vaccine against smallpox in tissue culture seems promising third-generation, Japanese researchers report.

“The threat of the use of smallpox virus as a weapon of bioterrorism has led to reconsider the need for a vaccine against smallpox,” the researchers said. “The serious events associated with first generation vaccines have raised barriers to vaccination campaigns in the U.S. UU.”

The second generation vaccines also cause a high rate of serious side effects, they said.

“Developing a vaccine that is safer than first-generation vaccines but highly immunogenic [to produce immunity or immune response] is crucial for the design of a prevention plan in the event of bioterrorism attacks,” they added.

The researchers studied immune responses to vaccination in 1.692 LC16m8 adults who had been previously vaccinated against smallpox and 1.529 that had not been vaccinated. The LC16m8 is a live attenuated vaccine (reduced power).

The participants were examined between ten and fourteen days after the application of the vaccine. The researchers found antibodies in about 90 percent of those who had not previously been vaccinated, and reinforced an effective response in 60 percent of those who had been vaccinated previously. None of the participants experienced serious side effects.

The study “provides evidence for the safety of the vaccine LC16m8 in adults,” wrote Dr. Tomoya Saito, University of Tokyo and his colleagues. “The vaccine LC16m8 appears to be a viable alternative to vaccines first, second and other third generation in a program of preparedness for a possible bioterrorist attack with smallpox virus.” More
