			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.zjufarm.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/ayurveda-and-spa.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1322" src="http://www.zjufarm.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/ayurveda-and-spa.jpg" alt="ayurveda food and mental health" width="422" height="315" /></a></p>
<p>Food is of great importance in ayurveda. You must not eat too much and healthy way. For example, you need to eat only when hungry.<br />
The world is a whole and each of its elements (space, air, earth, fire, water) interact with each other. They act on the man and the influence. Similarly, human influence nature. And the goal is to find the perfect harmony so that the balance is carried.</p>
<p>Ayurveda is a kind of preventive treatment of disease. But if they appear, &#8220;medical&#8221; treatment exists.</p>
<p>Ayurveda has given birth to Ayurvedic medicine, alternative medicine, taught in universities in India.<span id="more-1321"></span></p>
<p>According to Ayurveda, each person has a Prakruti, a constitution and metabolism of its own. From there, three were defined moods or doshas, ​​that is to say, the vital energies that regulate the body. These three humors are Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Each of us is more or less Vata is to say, impulsive, imaginative, sleepless and restless, Pitta, that is to say, very tough, angry and passionate and Kapha, which is to say up solid but slow and prone to obesity and cholesterol.</p>
<p>To be healthy, we need your three humors are balanced.</p>
<p>If you are sick, so it&#8217;s one of your moods is in excess in your body. If you have wrong is that the Vita is in excess, if you have a fever, it&#8217;s Pitta and if you scratch, it is the Kapha. Every mood is a separate treatment, which involves massage with enemas, in diet, exercise, exercise in mental and spiritual, and more surprisingly, in fasting, singing, affection, social gatherings, etc..</p>
<p>The very principle of Ayurveda is to treat the person (children to elderly) and not the disease. Constitution of each person is different, being composed of different moods, treatment will not be the same.</p>
<p>Thus, by examining your eyes, your tongue, your wrist or your urine, your doctor may ask Ayurvedic diagnosis and determine the treatment that suits you best.</p>
<p>These treatments might seem incongruous to Western minds, are to treat your body as a whole. For example, if you have liver, we will not only give you a treatment for the liver. All of your body and your mind will be processed.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p style="text-align: justify;">As disclosed in the booklet Care for Lupus (Duha Shams), Lupus is a general designation of a disorder called Lupus Erythematosus.<br />
In simple terms, a person can be said to suffer from the disease Lupus Erythematosus as her body becomes allergic to itself. Lupus is a term from the Latin word for wolf. This is due to this disease generally have a red rash butterfly rash or butterfly-shaped in a similar cheek on the cheek Wolves, but white.<br />
This disease in medical science called Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), namely when the disease has attacked the entire human body or internal system. In the science of immunology or immunity, the disease is the opposite of cancer or HIV / AIDS. In lupus, the body becomes overreacting to the stimulus of something foreign and making too many antibodies or proteins such that even directed against the body&#8217;s own tissues. Thus, referred to as an autoimmune lupus disease (diseases with excessive immune).<br />
Types of Lupus disease has three forms, the first of cutaneous lupus, often called discoid which affects the skin. Second, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), which attacks the body&#8217;s organs such as skin, joints, lungs, blood, blood vessels, heart, kidney, liver, brain, and nerves. Third, the Drug Induced Lupus (DIL), arising from use of certain drugs. After the use is stopped, symptoms will generally disappear.<br />
and usually odipus (people living with lupus) will avoid things that can make the disease relapsed with:</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Avoiding stress</li>
<li>Make sure to avoid direct sunlight</li>
<li>reduce the excessive workload</li>
<li>avoid the use of certain drugs.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">odipus can  observer on this disease, a specialist in internal medicine hematology consultation, Rheumatology, kidney, hypertension, allergy immunology, if lupus can be overcome, treatment with regular, regular medication that is given by a physician (which is usually taken for life) , odipus will be able to live like normal people.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.zjufarm.com/the-characteristics-of-stem-cells-to-tumor-cells.htm">A study published</a> in the December issue of American Journal of Roentgneology has shown that a simple <a href="http://www.healthtestingcenters.com">blood test</a> during the follicular phase of normal menstrual cycle (between days three and fourteen) can help in the optimal scheduling of examinations breast MRI in premenopausal women with irregular cycles.

<p>A simple blood test during the follicular phase of normal menstrual cycle (between days three and fourteen) can help in the optimal scheduling of examinations for breast MRI in premenopausal women with irregular cycles. This is indicated by a study published in the December issue of American Journal of Roentgneology.</p>
<p>This blood test may reduce the number of repeated scans, as explained by the coordinator of the work, Richard L. Ellis, Norma J. radiologist Center Vinger in Lacrosse, Wisconsin (USA) and Professor, School of Public Health Medicine of the University of Wisconsin.</p>
<p>During the menstrual cycle, estrogen production increases, reaching a peak just before mid-cycle, which causes enlargement of the ducts. In addition, breast tissue may have dense, rough during those days.</p>
<p>The researchers used blood tests for tests of time in eleven women who had irregular cycles. None of the breast scans done in this small group of women led to a large increase in normal breast tissue requiring repetition of the scanner.<span id="more-433"></span></p>
<p><strong>Overcoming a challenge</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;The time to perform a breast examination by MRI in premenopausal women who do not have a normal menstrual cycle is a difficult problem. However, we found that a simple blood test to determine the concentration of progesterone in serum may help determine adequate time in which you have to perform breast MRI.&#8221;</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>According to researchers, are loaded with vitamin E to help more medicine get into the cornea</em></p>
<p>A team of researchers has created special contact lenses for <strong><a href="http://www.zjufarm.com/glaucoma-the-silent-thief-of-sight.htm">glaucoma patients</a></strong> that come loaded with vitamin E, thanks to a design that essentially extends the time a medication bathes an affected eye.</p>
<p>The strategy could significantly reduce waste drops traditional medicine, but until now, the concept has only been tested in sniffer dogs.</p>
<p>&#8220;Currently, the way we administer the medication in the eye is very bad and ineffective,&#8221; said Anuj Chauhan, author of the study and associate professor of chemical engineering at the University of Florida in Gainesville. &#8220;In addition, this method is great because it provides drugs for prolonged periods.&#8221;</p>
<p>It is expected that Chauhan and colleagues present the findings Wednesday at the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society in San Francisco.</p>
<p>According to the Glaucoma Research Foundation, glaucoma begins as an asymptomatic disease, through the optic nerve damage can eventually cause blindness. The disease accounts for about 9-12 percent of all blindness in the U.S.. UU. The World Health Organization notes that it is the second leading cause of blindness in the world. <span id="more-402"></span></p>
<p>There is no cure for the nearly four million who have the disease and, as vision is lost, can not be reset. However, treatments such as drugs and surgery, it will delay or stop the progression of the disease.</p>
<p>It is thought that vitamin E is good for your eyes for its antioxidant capabilities. Several studies have explored the notion that might fight glaucoma when used in conjunction with prescription drugs.</p>
<p>Current research is focused on contact lenses can be worn for up to a month.</p>
<p>The authors note that the study has already revealed that the lenses loaded with vitamin E may prolong the duration of drug delivery over a hundred times, compared to regular commercial lenses. The drug supply in exposed only to the eye drops to between two and five minutes of treatment, they added.</p>
<p>For human trials to test the method missing one or two years, said Chauhan. But he added that, if successful, this method of drug delivery could have several applications, beyond the goal of improving the treatment of glaucoma.</p>
<p>&#8220;This could have significant benefits for several million patients, both from a therapeutic point of view, like that of prevention,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Because not only provide better relief for glaucoma drug, could potentially face more various eye diseases such as cataracts or dry eye. others, you neutroceutic of vitamin E also block the UV light exposure. &#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;But only time will tell what will actually work,&#8221; said Chauhan.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Dr. Alfred Sommer, professor of ophthalmology and dean emeritus of the Bloomberg School of Public Health of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, expressed some reservations about the method.</p>
<p>&#8220;A delivery mechanism for essentially bathe the eye in medicine slowly and continuously to address a wide range of diseases ranging from glaucoma to macular degeneration, has been the corner stone of ophthalmology for years,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Unfortunately, in general, efforts have been successful, although it certainly could do with something.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;However, because the most effective drops for glaucoma with which today we should be placed once a day, the question is if people would contact lenses if you use them and&#8221; asked Sommer . &#8220;This is somewhat speculative, especially when strongly recommend to contact lens wearers who do not sleep with lenses. So it is not immediately apparent, at least for me, which would have benefits for glaucoma.&#8221;</p>
<p>At the same meeting, it is expected that a research team at Iowa State University report on Wednesday about a new technology that could detect glaucoma before the onset of symptoms in its early stages.</p>
<p>The team, led by Chenxu Yu, assistant professor at Iowa State, said he believes that is about to reach a &#8220;breakthrough&#8221; in the diagnoses, with the help of infrared laser light through a method known as &#8221; Raman spectroscopy, &#8220;which throws a beam of light through the pupil to take a&#8221; snapshot &#8220;of the retina. Expect this high-tech image might someday be used to identify biochemical signals of glaucoma in its infancy.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>U.S. scientists published in The New England Journal of Medicine have succeeded in reversing the disease in 9 of 10 patients treated with a new procedure.</p>
<p>The preliminary study results show that the &#8220;mini&#8221; stem cells could reverse the <strong><a href="http://www.zjufarm.com/">severe sickle cell anemia</a></strong> in adults, according to a study by the NIH and Johns Hopkins University (USA), which is published today in The New England Journal of Medicine.</p>
<p>The phase I / II describes 10 patients with severe sickle cell disease who received intravenous transplants of hematopoietic stem cells, peripheral blood from healthy unrelated donors, which were adapted to tissue types of patients.</p>
<p>When the scientists used this procedure, 9 of the 10 patients showed normal red blood cells and recovery of organ damage caused by the disease.</p>
<p>Jonathan Powell explains, &#8220;the method of intravenous <strong><a href="http://www.zjufarm.com/sitemap">transplantation for sickle cell anemia</a></strong>, caused by a single mutation in the gene for hemoglobin, does not replace the defective gene but transplanted blood stem cells carrying the normal gene.</p>
<p>All patients in the study, from 16 to 45 years of age, were treated at the NIH with a &#8220;mini&#8221; and an immune suppressant drug, rapamycin.<span id="more-208"></span></p>
<p>Conventional transplantation methods using high doses of chemotherapy to suppress the immune system before injecting the transplanted cells, a process that has many side effects, including contracting serious bacterial infections that could kill patients. In the &#8220;mini&#8221; are used lower doses of medication and radiation to allow the arrival of the donated cells.</p>
<p>As pointed out by Powell, side effects were less and very mild compared with bone marrow transplantation. In 9 of the 10 patients, the donated cells now coexist with the patient.</p>
<p>The &#8220;mini&#8221; for sickle cell anemia patients were tested in nearly a decade ago and were not successful because the immune system from rejecting the transplanted cells affected. However, Powell indicated that the use of rapamycin promotes the coexistence of the donated cells to the patient.</p>]]></content:encoded>
