Chores not leisure tied to older mens fall risk

tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) -

Chores, not leisure, tied to older men’s fall risk . Household activities undertaken by elderly men appear to have more to do with their risk of suffering a fall than the activities they pursue in their leisure time, a new study shows.
Such household activities may include potentially risky tasks such as clearing rain gutters, pruning trees, or shoveling snow and ice, Benjamin K. S. Chan of Oregon Health and Science University in Portland and colleagues point out. “If community-dwelling older adults lack alternative resources for assistance, be it financial (to pay someone to do such tasks) or social (a nearby able-bodied relative or friend), they may put themselves at risk of falling by attempting to complete such tasks themselves,” Chan and his team note in the American Journal of Epidemiology.
The researchers followed 5,995 men 65 and older who were living independently to identify factors associated with their risk of falling.

The most active men were significantly more likely to fall than their more sedentary peers. While there was no association between leisure time activity and fall risk, the men who reported spending the most time on household activities were at increased risk of falling compared to those who did the least around the house.

Chan and his colleagues also found that men with the strongest grip strength and strongest legs were the least likely to suffer falls.

A study of osteoporotic fractures in women found that those with the least family support were at greater risk of falls, the researchers note. These findings “suggested that maintaining or increasing contacts with family may reduce fall risk, possibly because of increased support with everyday activities, decreased risk taking, and specific education about risks,” they add. “Our data corroborate this finding and suggest intervention strategies for future studies.”

SLEEPING PILLS BEWARE WARNS FDA

tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and

The F.D.A. ordered the makers of Ambien, Lunesta and 11 other commonly used sleep medications to issue strong new label warnings about those risks, and to produce brochures about safe use of the drugs. Pharmacies would give the brochures to patients when prescriptions are dispensed.

The agency will also require label warnings to note the possibility of severe allergic reactions and facial swelling associated with the use of such sleep medications.

The agency had been reviewing the side effects of sleeping pills since last year, after some users of the widely prescribed drug Ambien complained that they sleepwalked and gorged themselves on food or were arrested while driving in their sleep.

In each case the consumers had no recollection of the events, which occurred after they took Ambien and headed for bed.

The agency said that it had reviewed its database of reports of problems with the 13 commonly used sleep medications and concluded that labeling changes were needed. In a news release today, the F.D.A. warned patients of the potential for “complex sleep-related behaviors” which may include “sleep-driving, making phone calls and preparing and eating food (while asleep).”

The release defined “sleep driving” as “driving while not fully awake after ingestion of a sedative hypnotic, with no memory of the event.”

The F.D.A. also said it was taking the added step of asking manufacturers to conduct additional clinical studies involving sleep driving and other complex behaviors associated with taking the medications.

Besides Ambien and Lunesta, the drugs include Sonata and Rozerem, and a number of older medications.

The F.D.A.’s move follows a warning last month by authorities in Australia, where Ambien is marketed as Stilnox. The Australian drug agency said it had uncovered a variety of unusual activities by consumers using the product, including sleep-driving, sleep-eating, and, in one case, a woman who painted the front door of her home while asleep.

Here are the 13 sleep drugs, and their makers, as listed by the F.D.A.:

Ambien/AmbienCR (Sanofi-Aventis)

Butisol Sodium (MedPointe Pharmaceuticals)

Carbrital (Parke-Davis)

Dalmane (Valeant Pharmaceuticals)

Doral (Questcor Pharmaceuticals)

Halcion (Pharmacia & Upjohn)

Lunesta (Sepracor)

Placidyl (Abbott)

ProSom (Abbott)

Restoril (Tyco Healthcare)

Rozerem (Takeda)

Seconal (Eli Lilly)

Sonata (King Pharmaceuticals

GOD LOVES GOOD DEEDS

tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and

A TRUE STORY with a great message

There was a poor Scottish farmer by the name of Fleming. One day, while he was working and trying to earn a living for his family, he heard a help help cry coming from a nearby bog. He immediately dropped his tools and rushed to the bog.

There, mired to his waist in black muck, he saw a terrified boy, screaming on top of his voice and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the boy from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.

The following day, a very fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman’s sparse surroundings. A very elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy the farmer Fleming had saved a day earlier. I want to repay you, “said the nobleman. “You saved my sons life “.

No I can’t accept payment for what I did, “the Scottish farmer replied, waving off the offer. At that very moment, the farmers own son came to the door of the family hovel .

Is that your son? The nobleman asked.”Yes the farmer replied proudly.

I’ll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my own son will enjoy. If the boy is anything like his father, he’ll no doubt grow up to be a man we both will be proud of ‘. And that he did.

Farmer Flemings son attended the very best schools and in time, he graduated from St.mary’s hospital medical school in London, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted and highly respected Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.

Years afterward, the same nobleman’s son who was saved from the bog was stricken with Pneumonia. What saved his life this time? Penicillin.

The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill.
His sons name? Sir Winston Churchill. The biggest Hero of the second World War .

Comments - God really loves noble deeds.

Keep doing your noble acts without expecting any returns.

Don‘t you worry as the  Universal Soul is the mightiest of all the computers and knows every thing to the minutest details .

As great human beings we are children of GOD and must treat every human being and other living beings with love and affection especially the tress and plants who represent
the beauty of the nature of the Universal Soul .

Spread literacy and make the world a beautiful place for every body .

Create many more of the likes of Sir Alexander Fleming .

The world needs them much more today . Create Abundance and Affluence all around .
Be Blessed

WORLD DIABETES CAPITAL TO FIGHT WITH ORAL VACCINES

tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and

India is on the threshold of launching an oral vaccine for diabetes that would replace the current practice of insulin injections, promising relief to millions in the country suffering from the debilitating health condition.
The Andra Pradesh-based pharmaceutical company Transgene Biotek Ltd is currently doing research and pre-clinical trials of the vaccine in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT), Hyderabad.
“We have made considerable progress in the drug development process. The new vaccine will be administered in liquid form,” Prakash V. Diwan, chief of pharmacology of IICT, told IANS.
Diwan, however, said they would not like to divulge details about the development. “It’s too early to give further details.”
With nearly 40 million diabetes patients, India is home to over 20 percent of the total cases worldwide. Experts believe that given the changing lifestyles, the disease could take on an endemic status soon.
Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss had told IANS earlier that pre-clinical trials of the oral vaccine were at an advanced stage and “by the second half of 2008 there will be some reason to smile”.
The oral insulin vaccine has shown a reduction in blood glucose levels comparable to that of the injectable insulin, officials said. Once taken, the benefits would persist for almost 24 hours and help in better management of diabetes.
However, experts involved in the research said they would go for a “toxicological test” of the drug in “animal mammals because of the safety factor”.
“The clinical trial will have two phases - in phase one the drug would be tested on animal mammals and on phase two on humans. Nearly 200 to 250 mammals of two separate categories would be put under the toxicological test,” said a researcher associated with the new vaccine, requesting he not be named.
In the second phase, the drug would be tested on at least 20 humans. “Once successful, the drug would be tried on around 100 patients from different parts of India and probably from some European country. It would help in containing the disease faster and more effectively. The cost of treatment would also go down as the drug would be an indigenous product,” the researcher explained

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated 180 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes. Nearly 1.1 million succumbed to the disease in 2005. Almost 80 percent of diabetes deaths occur in low and middle-income countries, the UN body said.
Diabetes, which can lead to several complications like kidney failure, gangrene in the leg leading to amputations, heart problem and skin related problems, is growing at the rate of over 50 percent in India, say officials. In India, the mortality rate is over five percent of the total number of cases reported every year.
Anoop Mishra of the Fortis Group of Hospitals said an oral vaccine would greatly help patients. “It would make the treatment process easier and help in containing the disease,” said Mishra, director and head of the department of diabetes at Fortis.
“Indians are genetically predisposed to such ailments. And when they change their food habits the chance of being affected by diabetes and heart problems increases. A lot of children are now turning diabetic,” Mishra added.
According to one estimate, a diabetes patient spends nearly Rs.15,000 on treatment a year. If the problem leads to other health related problems, the amount rises four-fold. The loss of working hours also results in revenue loss

ENTREPRENEURS PERFECTION

tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and

ENTREPRENEURS PERFECTION

Lord Krishna said in Bhagwad Geeta “The difference between one’s planning and action is the measure of one’s lack of perfection”
This is a very great statement made by the Greatest One born billions of years ahead of his time.
Just have a look into Alexander the Great’s rise. At a very young age he created a force of 40000 professionally trained armed men. His vision, mission and dedication were focused like Arjuna of Mahabharata.
With this resource well under his arms he invaded the established kingdom of Babylon having 2,50,000 armed men and won the war and kept on moving forward with his winnings.
Today the wars have changed, the perfection and professionalism has not changed but is rather more focused, honed and polished. This era of mergers, acquisitions and takeovers does need all these qualities. Planning and action are closely related. Make a union of these two, the world follows you. There is more premium always on Knowledge and action which brings more value addition.

INDIA GIVES ETERRNAL GIFT TO THE PEOPLE

tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and

 

MEDITATION

 

More and more doctors are prescribing meditation as a way to lower blood pressure, improve exercise performance in people with angina, help asthmatics breathe easier, relieve insomnia and generally ease the everyday stresses of life. Medication is a safe and simple way to balance a person’s physical, emotional and mental states. The concept of meditation works on the principle that when the mind is calm and focussed on the present. Neither is it reacting to memories from the past nor being preoccupied with plans for the future: two major sources of chronic stress known to impact health.

There are several techniques of meditation but they all have one thing in common — focus on quietening the busy mind. The concept is not to remove stimulation but rather to direct concentration to one healing element: one sound, one word, one image, or one’s breath.

All forms of meditation can be broadly classified into concentrative meditation and mindful meditation.
 Concentrative meditation focuses attention on a breath, an image, or a sound (mantra), in order to still the mind and allow greater awareness and clarity to emerge. The simplest form of concentrative meditation is to sit quietly and focus attention on the breath. Yoga and meditation practitioners believe that there is a direct correlation between one’s breath one’s state of the mind. For example, when a person is anxious, frightened, agitated or distracted, the breath will tend to be shallow, rapid and uneven. On the other hand, when the mind is calm focussed and composed the breath will tend to be slow, deep and regular.

As one focuses one’s awareness on the breath, the mind becomes absorbed in the rhythm of inhalation and exhalation. As a result, breathing will become slower and deeper, and the mind will become more tranquil and aware. 
 
 Mindful meditation, involves becoming aware of the continuously passing parade of sensations and feeling, images, thoughts, sounds, smells, and so forth without becoming involved in thinking about them. The person sits quietly and simply witnesses whatever goes through the mind, not reacting or becoming involved with thoughts, memories, worries or images. This helps to gain a more calm, clear and non-reactive state of mind. Studies show that after meditation, reactions are faster, creativity greater and comprehension broader. In addition, by silencing the mind, meditation can also put one in touch with the self, allowing the body’s own inner wisdom to be heard.
