New Model of CPR Gives a Survival to the Adults and Heart Aging Clusters

posted by admin in April 1st, 2008  Article Under: Heart   Tags: , , , ,   

It is a minute ago amazing to hear that modern CPR version provided so much relaxation and ease to the patients of heart diseases by forming the functions of fast yawning compresses on the patient’s chest, here with the intention of saving lives, the American Heart Association has done a great job for the heart diseases’ matures by launching a new model of CPR.

By having the finesse of CPR, we know how to gulp of air a along with burning on top of the human trunk so as to move in the direction of salting away a being from the death.The scientists are very optimistic on this innovative stuff which is not only running with simplicity but it is also a pretty well-designed tool to get rid of a hurdle of pain breathers, as it is the most confined technology to the sensitive heart clusters.

It’s Time You Understand Your Blood Pressure

posted by admin in March 11th, 2008  Article Under: Heart   Tags: , , , ,   

In its simplest meaning, the force exerted by the circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels is “Blood Pressure (BP)”. The term ‘blood pressure’ generally refers to the arterial pressure, the pressure in the larger arteries. The highest pressure in the arteries is known as the “Systolic Pressure” and the lowest pressure in the arteries is known as the “Diastolic Pressure”.

Age is directly related with many problems and blood pressure is one of these. Age normally brings many changes in lifestyle, body functions, and other aspects. As we get older the blood pressure also increases like the cholesterol. At the same time people are getting fatter. Blood pressure is also an important risk factor for heart attacks like cholesterol. Now the evidences shows that like cholesterol the level of blood pressure considered being normal should be brought down from the normal level.

“Blood Pressure” levels are expressed in a relative, ratio based expression which demonstrates the “Systolic Pressure/ Diastolic Pressure” relationship. The 120/80 readings of blood pressure was considered as normal and it was the ideal blood pressure. The readings 135/88 were thought to be as fine. But it is always good to keep the blood pressure lower to the normal 120/80 and the reading 135/88 is too high blood pressure. (more…)

Spinal Cord Injury and Heart Disease Are Not Interlinked

The Healthcare Research and Quality Agency conducted some trials and came out with some good news for the Americans that are living with injury to backbone. There is no significant clinical finding as to the spinal cord injury versus risk of developing impaired carbohydrate and lipid metabolisms that manifest as distorted glucose tolerance and insulin resistance as seen in diabetes and high/low cholesterol levels of the blood affected heart functioning. In fact the spinal cord injury suffered persons are at par with those that never suffered one with respect to these conditions.

Spinal Cord

The people that had spinal cord injury and living in US is about 0.25 million and among whom about 10k of them require hospitalization every year. As known well, spinal cord injury can be due to a sudden trauma resulting from accidents or physical encounters including stabbing or thereof or even gunshot injuries etc.

Chicago - The research report says that clogged arteries found in young adults who died due to the unnatural causes. Autopsies of adults who died in their young age showed unnatural causes such as clogged arteries – Said U.S. and Canadian researchers. Autopsy reports of the younger people shows that they had clogged arteries. These younger persons died from accidents and murder.

The finding was a bit shocking and it is suggesting that today’s generation have higher risks of heart disease,” - said S. Jay Olshansky, University of Illinois. S. Jay Olshansky wrote and published an editorial in the Archives of Internal Medicine on the research finding. (more…)

One Can Recover Language Skills Even After a Heart Stroke

posted by admin in February 16th, 2008  Article Under: Brain, Heart   Tags: , , ,   

Even after a brain stroke, one can recover language skills. A recently concluded study suggests that our system has an ability to redirect itself, when a part of our language system gets affected due to any kind of brain trauma.

Brain Strokes

Many organs and body parts heal after trauma and disease. But the brain is not so fortunate. Any kind of trauma like a stroke or a blow to the head can lead to irreversible damage and loss of certain skills. However in case of language, a part of the system may get affected, the whole doesn’t collapse.

Michael S. Vitevitch, associate professor of psychology at the ‘University of Kansas’ and an affiliated scientist with ‘KU’s Life Span Institute’, tries to understand this ability by borrowing certain tools of mathematics. He used graph theory to find out how words are stored in the human memory that even after a brain trauma, the language system stills manages to reroute itself. He compared the system with the flights which manage to run efficiently even in the case of severe weathers. The same kind of network works behind the complex system of words in a human brain.
