Optimism helps health of heart. This is the result of a major U.S. study. It was always said that laughter and being happy with an optimistic view of life is a valuable aid to our health. Apparently it is. Patients suffering from a heart disease would benefit most (about 30% chance of a longer life) in the future if faced life with more optimism.

The study was conducted by researchers at Duke University in the U.S., led by Dr. John Barefoot. Scientists have performed research on 2800 patients by assessing their level of optimism at the time of diagnosis.

After a series of test have come to the fact that optimistic and happy thoughts contribute positively to an improvement.

The Internal radiation therapy is effective to combat liver cancer. This is the result of a study involving three European countries: Italy, Germany and Spain. In cases of advanced liver cancer, inoperable, it is recommended radioembolisation or selective internal radiation therapy. It is a technique that can be combined to recent drug therapies. Thanks to this study (ENRY), conducted by a team led by Bruno Sangro, professor of hepatology in the department of the University Hospital liver Navarre, Pamplona (Spain), we have seen an increase in survival, According to the present state of pathology.

The research, published online on Hepatology, the magazine of the American Association of the Study of Liver Diseases, as mentioned earlier, involved patients from three European countries, just 325, all treated with internal radiation therapy SIR-Spheres. The result was an increased survival and improved quality of life, especially in certain categories of patients: less tumor nodulesAnd without occlusion portal vein. Read the full story »

The enterovirus could be the cause of Juvenile Diabetes. It supports a research conducted recently by the South Wales University, directed by Professor Mary Craig and published in the British Medical Journal. Diabetes is a disease of glucose metabolism, due to a lack of insulin Essential for the assimilation of glucose, without which the metabolism goes haywire, causing a serious imbalance of the whole organism. However, it is a disease on which is still being investigated. Read the full story »

When it comes to urinary incontinence it refers to the inability to control leakage of urine. It’s pathology almost exclusively female, related to the physiological structure of women and conditions that may affect the pressure on bladder.

It would hardly suffer from the men, but following a speech at the prostate for malignant disease. Read the full story »

The progress of medicine and the surgery, Achieved through the use of innovative techniques can be deemed key elements in solving diseases that before had little opportunity to care. Examples of this technique molecular surgery introduced for the first time in Italy by Professor Aldo Caporossi University of Siena.

The technique is known cross-linking and signifies a significant opportunity for all who suffer Keratoconus, A disease which is one of the most normal causes leading to Corneal Transplant. With the emergence of this pathology are not the bonds that contain together the fibers forming the cornea. Through the use of innovative surgical technique the eye receives the stimulus to regenerate the lost links.

This is a treatment designed to change the structure of molecules. In essence, the cornea is treated with a fluid and then is subjected to the action of an ultraviolet laser. As a final result the disease undergoes a temporary suspension and eyesight are noticeably enhanced. The treatment is indicated particularly for children which are also those with the disease yet in a non-advanced.

Only in these cases, particularly when the cornea has a thickness of about 400 micrometers, might intervene in a well timed manner to save the eyesight and therefore the treatment of molecular surgery can be decisive. The intervention early detection is therefore necessary for a lower incidence of the disease.
