News about saving mothers life.

According to the latest research it is come to know that Up to a half a million women die each year around the world because of complications arising from pregnancy or childbirth. The majority of these deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa.1 Since they are largely preventable, they represent a tragedy playing out every day across the continent. Progress on maternal health there is hampered by health systems that are understaffed, underfunded, and overwhelmed and thus too fragile and fragmented to deliver the required level or quality of care. Consequently, many countries in sub-Saharan Africa will struggle to meet the United Nation Millennium Development Goals for reducing child and maternal mortality by 2015.2
Nonetheless, some countries are making headway. Our recent work in Namibia, for example, suggests that coordinated, targeted interventions led by local stakeholders can accelerate improvements in maternal-health outcomes. The key is to work with local health leaders to develop solutions that improve the quality of health care, increase access to it, and promote its early uptake.
The resulting interventions being pursued in Namibia are straightforward and practical improvements in the training of midwives, cheaper antenatal clinics inspired by the design of shipping containers, operational fixes to reduce ambulance response times and wait times at clinics, a radio talk show to educate patients and stimulate demand—yet are collectively powerful. A closer look efforts offers lessons for other countries seeking to improve maternal health, as well as for health programs tackling HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, HCV+ or many other conditions.

sleeping tips according to medical point of view.

Sleeping tips According to medical point of view.

Here are some tips for good sleep and good health.

1. The thing with the night and morning people is not a myth, but here we differ actually. The one is easily in the morning, but falls to bed early in the evening just when others are only really fit. Here it is recommended to familiarize yourself with your own needs and to create himself as a day routine, in which the work and needs to be organized according to the high and low phases.

2. Whether you want to go early or late to bed it is crucial that you do not constantly change your usual sleep pattern. Above all, the weekend is a time when most of us stay up abruptly and sleep longer. So you mess your sleep schedule.It is less problematic sleep off longer than stay up too long. Catch sleep is very relaxing for many, but you should also not exaggerate the turn.
Basically, less the length of sleep is crucial, but rather the quality.

4. Restful is your sleep, mainly because you can tell if you feel well rested in the morning and ready for the day. That must not be the same after getting the case, because most of us need a little time to get going in the morning. But basically you should be well rested and strengthened for the day’s work after a night feel.

tips for home care

Tips for home care:

The basic need of this world first we need to start care from our own hose hand try to make safe and healthy environment of our house.
Home care is health care or supportive care provided by a caregiver inside of a seniors home. This allows for the senior to maintain a level of independence and receive the necessary care in the comfort of their house, rather than be put into a residential, long-term nursing home or specialized facility.

The comforting environment of home care may be the more appealing option for many; however, safety could become an issue in this situation. Depending on whether the home care is being provided by a trained professional or by a family member, there may be times when the senior is left on their own, in which case safety precautions need to be taken.

When creating a safe living environment, the first step is to assess the needs of the Physical and cognitive impairments must be considered when determining to what extent safety measures be incorporated in home care. The kitchen and bathroom are the rooms with the highest risk for injury. So those rooms be safety proofed first.

Falls are the number one cause for injury in elderly adults, the kitchen and bathroom are locations where falls frequently happen due to slippery floors, spills, having to stand on stools and over-reaching for items above the head. Below are ways to ensure that these rooms remain safe.

Tips for a safe kitchen:

Keep sharp knives and utensils in a secure drawer
Store dishes and other regularly used items in reachable cabinets and drawers to prevent the senior from having to use a stool or chair
Keep cleaning supplies, chemicals and flammable liquids out of the kitchen and in a locked cabinet
Depending on the health status of the senior, disengaging the garbage disposal may be necessary

Tips for a safe bathroom:

Use non-slip, rubber mats on the bathroom floor and in the bathtub or shower
Place medications in a secure location and implement a system for the senior to take their medications if they must take them on their own
Install a grab bar near the toilet and in the shower to offer support for unsteady seniors who may have trouble standing up or sitting down
Other safety items to be considered in home care are night lights, making sure walking paths are clear of cords and rugs and making sure smoke alarms are changed regularly with new batteries. In the unfortunate instance where a fall or injury does happen, there are products that can ensure timely help is provided to the individual. A Personal Emergency Response System from Comfort Keepers will allow the injured senior to call for help with a touch of a button. They can be worn on the wrist or around the neck, offering peace of mind for the caregiver if their elderly loved-one must be left alone.
Instituting these safety precautions can provide a safer environment but the need for reassessment is always there. As the health status changes with the senior, a new safety plan may need to be put in place to ensure that the elderly loved-one enjoys a happy, injury-free life.
But make shore that if any incident happen we need to must call at emergency and try to make safe own and also our near by people and environment.

Treatment of hepatitis C+

Treatment of hepatitis C+ :

Treatment of hepatitis C+ is possible now but it is very important thing to need care and use the things that doctor suggest to the patient for example healthy food not to use oily things juses must use .
Patients with acute hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection appear to have an excellent chance of responding to 6 months of standard therapy with interferon (IFN). Because spontaneous resolution is common, no definitive timing of therapy initiation can be recommended; however, waiting 2-4 months after the onset of illness seems reasonable.

Treatment of chronic HCV infection has 2 goals. The first is to achieve sustained eradication of HCV (ie, sustained virologic response [SVR]), which is defined as the persistent absence of HCV RNA in serum 6 months or more after completing antiviral treatment. The second goal is to prevent progression to cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and decompensated liver disease requiring liver transplantation.

Antiviral therapy for chronic hepatitis C should be determined on a case-by-case basis. However, treatment is widely recommended for patients with elevated serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels who meet the following criteria[4] :

Age greater than 18 years
Positive HCV antibody and serum HCV RNA test results
Compensated liver disease (eg, no hepatic encephalopathy or ascites)
Acceptable hematologic and biochemical indices (hemoglobin at least 13 g/dL for men and 12 g/dL for women; neutrophil count >1500/mm3, serum creatinine < 1.5 mg/dL)
Willingness to be treated and to adhere to treatment requirements

A further criterion is liver biopsy findings consistent with a diagnosis of chronic hepatitis. However, a pretreatment liver biopsy is not mandatory. It may be helpful in certain situations, such as in patients with normal transaminase levels, particularly those with a history of alcohol dependence, in whom little correlation may exist between liver enzyme levels and histologic findings.

Patients with normal liver enzyme levels and minimal histologic damage noted on liver biopsy may elect to defer treatment until more effective and less toxic medications become available, whereas patients with more advanced liver injury may prefer to initiate treatment sooner. Patients should be informed that the treatment of HCV infection in the setting of normal liver enzyme levels remains controversial.
mostly doctor use Xolox (Ribavirin) 400 mg Capsules with the differnt injection course of 6 months it depends acording to the pectiont.

What is Hepatitis C+

Hepatitis C+ 

It is a common Disease in Asia now a days basically it is a virus that effect on human blood.
Hepatitis C is caused by infection with the hepatitis C virus. The hepatitis C virus is a single stranded, enveloped, positive sense RNA virus.
The virus can infect the person and may cause severe inflammation of the liver leading to severe liver damage and long term complications.
The infection usually begins in a gradual manner with vague symptoms like tiredness, loss of appetite, abdominal discomfort, nausea and vomiting, fever etc.

Slowly it may progress to jaundice in about 25% of patients. Of those infected nearly 40% recover fully and the rest become chronic carriers of the infection.

Of these nearly a third develops liver cirrhosis and of those with cirrhosis, up to 20% develop liver cancer.
Hepatitis Disease of the liver causing inflammation which can lead to scarring of the liver. C virus In medicine, a very simple microorganism that infects cells and may cause disease. Because viruses can multiply only inside infected cells, they are not considered to be alive.

New reserch about blood test could accurately predict heart attack risk

New blood test could accurately predict heart attack risk-

According to The Heart Foundation, more than 920,000 Americans will suffer a heart attack this year, and many of these will occur without warning. But researchers from The Scripps Research Institute in California say they have created a blood test which may be able to predict whether patients are at high risk of heart attack.

The research team, led by Prof. Pete Kuhn, says that at present there is no test available that can predict the occurrence of a heart attack with good accuracy.

But they say their novel test, details of which have been recently published in the journal Physical Biology, has so far proved successful in identifying which patients are undergoing treatment for a recent heart attack and which patients are healthy. Test identifies endothelial cells in blood

The new test uses a "fluid biopsy" technique. It works by identifying the presence of endothelial cells - which line the artery walls - in the bloodstream.

According to the researchers, endothelial cells that circulate in the bloodstream have been associated with ongoing heart attacks.

Researchers say the HD-CEC test can accurately detect circulating endothelial cells in patients, meaning the test could be used to predict heart attack risk.

They believe that endothelial cells enter the bloodstream as a result of diseased plaque building up, rupturing and ulcerating in the arteries, which triggers inflammation.

They add that this damage to the arteries can lead to the formation of blood clots. This stops the blood flowing through the arteries, which in turn can cause a heart attack.

Using a newly-created procedure called the High-Definition Circulating Endothelial Cell (HD-CEC) assay, the researchers were able to identify and differentiate endothelial cells in blood samples of 79 patients, all of whom had already suffered a heart attack when their samples were taken.

The researchers also used the HD-CEC assay on two groups of patients as a control measure. One group was made up of seven patients who were receiving treatment for cardiovascular disease, while the other group consisted of 25 healthy patients. Blood test 'successfully identified heart attack patients'

The research team found that the HD-CEC assay was able to detect circulating endothelial cells in the blood of the patients through the cells' "morphological features and their reactions with specific antibodies."

Patients who suffered a heart attack had much higher levels of circulating endothelial cells in their blood, compared with healthy patients. And the researchers note that the cells were identified with "high sensitivity and high specificity."

To further confirm the accuracy of the HD-CEC assay, the researchers compared it with CellSearch - a test that has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to identify circulating tumor cells in patients with cancer.

From this, the investigators found that the HD-CEC test was able to detect circulating endothelial cells more accurately than the CellSearch test.

The researchers say this is because the HD-CEC test "used a direct analysis method and was free of bias from an enrichment stage."

"Our assay effectively analyzes millions of cells, which is more work but guarantees that you are analyzing all of the potential cells," says Prof. Kuhn.

The investigators believe the technique is now ready to be tested on patients who show symptoms of increased risk of heart attack, but have not yet suffered one.
