• Paralytic reduced or lack of forward movement and is due to a problem in the Central Nervous System.

• No paralytic: characterized by decreased muscle tone without affecting motility.

It is difficult to establish the diagnosis and origin of the disease, which is often neurological in origin. May originate in the central nervous system or peripheral nervous system.

Symptoms may show hypotonia at birth or in general in very young children. Cases can be mild or progressive, leading to cause disability. Read the rest of this entry »

The HCG diet plan utilizes a hormone called Human Chorionic Gonadotropin to turn the body into a fat burning furnace. The hormone is naturally present in pregnant women. It is used by the body to increase the metabolic rate and burn stores of fat. In pregnant women, it helps give the woman extra energy by telling the bod to burn excess fat. If a person takes HCG when they are not pregnant, the hormone still tells the body to burn excess fat like the fat the collects on the belly and thighs. The process works equally well for men and women who want to lose weight.

HCG diet drops contain a synthetic version of the HCG hormone that is easy to take. Imagine a diet where all you have to do is place a few drops under your tongue. Dieting has never been easier. These drops are a duplicate of the exact hormone produced by pregnant women, so they are naturally occurring in the human body. The hormone is passed from mother to child, so men have the hormone in their body as well as women. Unlike other diet pills, these drops don’t contain any ingredients foreign to the body.

Naturally, you will want to maintain a healthy diet even after the weight is lost. HCG can help you lose excess fat, but only you can keep it off for good.

New research published in the journal Nature Medicine ‘has proved possible to multiply in the lab, before injecting, so that the transplant will work.

As in the traditional bone marrow transplant, stem cells from a compatible donor umbilical cord are used to regenerate the bone marrow of patients with leukemia and other haematological malignancies. First, chemotherapy ‘clean’ all malignant cells and, subsequently, the umbilical blood of the donor is responsible for ‘repopulate’ again.

The problem is that when stem cells are injected are not enough, take too long to generate new blood cells (clean of cancer). This leaves the patient several weeks with a bone marrow ‘medium gas’ (aplastic), and susceptible to infection, rejection or even death. Read the rest of this entry »

A study published in the medical journal Gut by a group of scientists Netherlands, reveals that alcohol raises the risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, a tumor located in the upper esophagus.

The report also claims that smokers also have an increased risk of cancer of the esophagus and stomach, much higher. A study for 16 years over 120,000 people between 55 and 70 years confirms that smoking increases the likelihood of gastric cancer and esophageal cancer.

The risk varies between 60% and 263% among cigarette smokers compared to nonsmokers. Alcohol also affects, to a lesser extent, the study said.

People who drank the equivalent of about two or three glasses of wine a day were five times more likely to develop tumors than abstainers.

A person who has multiple family members with pancreatic cancer is six times more likely to develop the disease. The study shows that this risk is even higher, nine times the general population, if a family member developed cancer before age 50.

The cancer that starts in youth is a feature of many familial cancer syndromes but do not know if the family members of patients with familial pancreatic cancer at an early age had a higher risk than those of patients who later suffered his life. Read the rest of this entry »

Explains I-Hsin Lin, head of the study, “Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality in Taiwan. The tea, especially green tea, has received much attention because tea polyphenols are strong antioxidants and Tea preparations have shown an inhibitory activity against tumorigenesis. ”

Previous studies on green tea have not been taken into account by the shortcomings of the epidemiological model and its inherent biases.

The researchers enrolled 170 patients with lung cancer and 340 healthy patients as controls. The researchers administered questionnaires to obtain demographic characteristics, smoking habits, consumption of green tea, fruit and vegetable consumption, cooking practices and family history of lung cancer.

The authors also performed a genotyping-like growth factors and insulin polymorphisms in IGF1, IGF2 and IGFBP3, which has been associated with cancer risk. Read the rest of this entry »

The data are published in the online edition of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. ” However, these biomarkers become greatly elevated only in the year prior to diagnosis. Researchers do not know yet what stage the cancer is found at the time of the increase of the marker.

The molecules CA125, HE4, mesothelin, B7-H4, the decoy receptor 3 and espondina-2 have been identified as potential biomarkers of ovarian cancer but until now had not evaluated their behavior in the period before diagnosis, with the exception CA125.

The researchers analyzed the serum samples stored test Carotene and Retinol Efficacy of assessing the effects of beta-carotene and retinol on lung cancer incidence among individuals at high risk for the disease. The researchers identified 34 patients who were diagnosed with ovarian cancer and those with serum for the test and 70 control subjects even. Read the rest of this entry »
