Resolved Question: Do you suffer from depression? If so maybe you will find this short article of interest?
The Evolutionary Origin of Depression Mild and Bitter Jun 25th 2009 From The Economist print edition Depression may be linked to how willing someone is to give up his goals CLINICAL depression is a serious ailment, but almost everyone gets mildly depressed from time to time. Randolph Nesse, a psychologist and researcher in evolutionary medicine at the University of Michigan, likens the relationship between mild and clinical depression to the one between normal and chronic pain. He sees both pain and low mood as warning mechanisms and thinks that, just as understanding chronic pain means first understanding normal pain, so understanding clinical depression means understanding mild depression. Dr Nesse’s hypothesis is that, as pain stops you doing damaging physical things, so low mood stops you doing damaging mental ones—in particular, pursuing unreachable goals. Pursuing such goals is a waste of energy and resources. Therefore, he argues, there is likely to be an evolved mechanism that identifies certain goals as unattainable and inhibits their pursuit—and he believes that low mood is at least part of that mechanism. It is a neat hypothesis, but is it true? A study published in this month’s issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology suggests it might be. Carsten Wrosch from Concordia University in Montreal and Gregory Miller of the University of British Columbia studied depression in teenage girls. They measured the “goal adjustment capacities” of 97 girls aged 15-19 over the course of 19 months. They asked the participants questions about their ability to disengage from unattainable goals and to re-engage with new goals. They also asked about a range of symptoms associated with depression, and tracked how these changed over the course of the study. Their conclusion was that those who experienced mild depressive symptoms could, indeed, disengage more easily from unreachable goals. That supports Dr Nesse’s hypothesis. But the new study also found a remarkable corollary: those women who could disengage from the unattainable proved less likely to suffer more serious depression in the long run. Mild depressive symptoms can therefore be seen as a natural part of dealing with failure in young adulthood. They set in when a goal is identified as unreachable and lead to a decline in motivation. In this period of low motivation, energy is saved and new goals can be found. If this mechanism does not function properly, though, severe depression can be the consequence. The importance of giving up inappropriate goals has already been demonstrated by Dr Wrosch. Two years ago he and his colleagues published a study in which they showed that those teenagers who were better at doing so had a lower concentration of C-reactive protein, a substance made in response to inflammation and associated with an elevated risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Dr Wrosch thus concludes that it is healthy to give up overly ambitious goals. Persistence, though necessary for success and considered a virtue by many, can also have a negative impact on health. Dr Nesse believes that persistence is a reason for the exceptional level of clinical depression in America—the country that has the highest depression rate in the world. “Persistence is part of the American way of life,” he says. “People here are often driven to pursue overly ambitious goals, which then can lead to depression.” He admits that this is still an unproven hypothesis, but it is one worth considering. Depression may turn out to be an inevitable price of living in a dynamic society. http://www.economist.com/sciencetechnology/displaystory.cfm?story_id=13899022 Jim moreResolved Question: Do you still believe in the conventional Medicine?
Death By Medicine by, By Gary Null, PhD; Carolyn Dean MD, ND; Martin Feldman, MD; Debora Rasio, MD; and Dorothy Smith, PhD A definitive review of medical peer-reviewed journals and government health statistics shows that American medicine frequently causes more harm than good. This fully referenced report shows the number of people having in-hospital, adverse reactions to prescribed drugs to be 2.2 million per year. The number of unnecessary antibiotics prescribed annually for viral infections is 20 million per year. The number of unnecessary medical and surgical procedures performed annually is 7.5 million per year. The number of people exposed to unnecessary hospitalization annually is 8.9 million per year. The most stunning statistic, however, is that the total number of deaths caused by conventional medicine is an astounding 783,936 per year. It is now evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the US. "Complaint against Genocide and other crimes against humanity committed in connection with the pharmaceutical business with disease." "Throughout the 20th century, the pharmaceutical industry was built and organized with the goal of controlling healthcare systems around the world by systematically replacing natural, non-patentable therapies with patentable and therefore profitable synthetic drugs." "They deliberately defined the human body as their market place in order to generate further wealth." "The accused are responsible for the deaths of hundreds of millions of people who continue to die from cardiovascular disease, cancer and other diseases that could have been prevented and largely eliminated long ago. This premature death of millions of people is neither the result of coincidence nor negligence. It has been willfully and systematically organized on behalf of the pharmaceutical industry and its investors with the sole purpose to expand a global drug market worth trillions of dollars." http://www.healingourchildren.net/cause_of_disease.htm moreResolved Question: Inhalers 'could cause heart attack'??
my son has bin on this long term for his breathing has recurring chest infections is there any thing in it? They open up the airways by relaxing muscles, which allows air to get in and out of the patient's lungs more easily. The latest study looked at the inhalers ipratropium (Atrovent) and tiotropium (Spiriva). The meta-analysis examined at 17 medical trials involved a total of 14,783 patients who were using the inhalers for more than 30 days. Writing in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), the authors said: "Inhaled anticholinergic use for more than 30 days significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction (heart attack), or stroke in patients with COPD by approximately 58%." http://uk.news.yahoo.com/pressass/20080924/tuk-inhalers-could-cause-heart-attack-6323e80.html moreResolved Question: Economics question; HELP! Pt. 3!?
Was hoping someone could walk me through this: Statin drugs (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A [HMG-CoA] reductase inhibitors) are drugs used to lower blood cholesterol and reduce the increased cardiovascular disease risk associated with high cholesterol levels. A study in the January 24/31 2001 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association finds benefit to giving statin drugs to heart attack patients while they are recovering in hospital. Specifically the probability of dying in the first year after release from hospital was found to fall from 10% for those not taking statin while in hospital to 5% for those who took statin while in hospital. We consider the costs and benefits of giving statin to 1,000 heart attack patients when - The cost of the statin treatment is $4,500 per patient. - For simplicity assume that for those whose life is saved exactly one year of life is saved. - The benefit of saving one year of life is placed at $100,000. For simplicity it is assumed that the all of the benefits of statin use occur in the first year. (A) Perform a cost-benefit analysis of the use of statin. Does it favor the use of statin? (B) What is the cost of statin treatment per year of life saved? (C) Now consider quality of life adjusted years. Suppose that all people who experience a heart attack have a lower quality of life after heart attack.

What to live a longer, healthier life? The answer may be in your place of worship, researchers are finding. Health club membership: check, Ginkgo and kelp caplets: check. Cigarettes, down; veggies, up: check. Religion: che…. What? Yes, health nuts and slugabeds alike, it’s time to acknowledge something you may have heard in Sunday school or while perched on Grandma’s knee: Like spinach, God is good for you. Medical science, especially in the West, may still turn up its nose at the mix of health and spirituality, but it’s slowing coming around. At least 80 to 125 medical schools in the United States offer courses in religion and medicine. In Canada. The Ontario Multifaith Council on Spiritual and Religious Care is calling for papers for a big conference in October at the University of Toronto on Spirituality and Health Care. The research- scads of it- continues to confirm more or less the same thing: People who follow a religious / spiritual path are more likely to enjoy greater longevity and superior overall health than those who do not. And prayer, meditation and other mind-body approaches, whether from the Eastern or Western religious models, appear to be beneficial to the healing process. That’s not to suggest that atheists, agnostics and secular humanists will keel over tomorrow from heart attacks, or that he faithful are immune from alcoholism or obesity. While not all of us do such a great job of flowing the dictates of our religions and may enjoy good health anyway, the link between spiritual engagement and healthy behaviour is, finally, as close to undeniable as it has ever been. Even Canada’s bets known atheist isn’t’ completely dismissive of the findings. Dr. Robert Buckman, president of the Humanist Association of Canada, says simple membership in a religious group—indeed any group—can act as a cohesive force. In his book, Can We Be Good Without God?, Dr. Buckman describes this type of conformity as ‘herd glue”, one that comes with its own rewards. A sense of belonging to a group can come from applauding at the theatre along with everyone else, or joining the army. “Having a genuine communal life is probably good for you”, Dr. Buckman said in a an interview, “whether it’s stamp collecting, train spotting or a religion”. However, “the idea that the [benefit] comes from an external god remains unproven”. In the scientific community, some doggedly insists that the evidence is of the angels on the head of a pin variety; that religion and science don’t mix and that attempts to yoke them constitute dangerous quackery, an attempt to steer medicine back to the Dark Ages. This is where the lines may be blurred between two different but overlapping areas: the physiological benefits of a religion or religious sub-group, which may be measured, and the less quantifiable mind-body-spirit connection. Even in an age in which our temporal lobes can be electrically stimulated to mimic sensations of the divine, including visions of angels, other scientist speak excitedly of a whole new field; the epidemiology of religion, or theosomatic medicine. Whether placebo or not, it has opened a floodgate or findings. At last count, more than 1200 studies and 400 reviews, from Canada, Europe and the United States show that: * Those who regularly attend a house of worship have demonstrated lower rates of illness and death than do infrequent or non-attenders * For each of the three leading causes of death in North America- heart disease, cancer and hypertension- people who report a religious affiliation have lower rates of illness and higher rates of recovery * Older adults who participate in private and congregational worship exhibit fewer symptoms, less disability and lower rates of depression, chronic anxiety, and dementia than those who do not * Actively religious people live longer, on average, that the non-religious (up to seven years longer, say some studies). This holds true even when controlling for the fact that religious people tend to avoid health risks such as smoking, drinking and promiscuity * Among African-Americans, religious participation has been found to be the single strongest determinant of psychological well being- more so than physical health or financial status. * Meditation and prayer have been found to improve patients overall well-being. As your doctor might say, they can’t hurt. The newest study, in this week’s International Journal of Psychiatry in Medicine, found that the people who didn’t attend services regularly were twice as likely to die of non-cancerous digestive diseases. 21 percent more likely to die of cardiovascular disease, including heart and stroke, and 66 percent more likely to die to respiratory diseases, other than cancer. In all, the research points in one direction, at least as far as the psychological benefits of religious go; High, even moderate, levels of religious faith and/or spi moreResolved Question: WHY do poeple THINK The Framingham Heart Study supports The Lipid Hypothesis of CHD?

Long Life May Be Your Cup of (Green) Tea By Kathleen Doheny HealthDay Reporter Adults who drank at least five cups of the brew daily had a lower risk of cardiovascular death and death from all other causes, except cancer, than those who drank less than one cup a day, according to a research team from Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan. They published their findings in the Sept. 13 Journal of the American Medical Association. While many laboratory and animal studies have suggested that green tea protects against illness, its effect in humans has been less clear. "Only four epidemiological studies [in people] have been conducted to date," said lead researcher Dr. Shinichi Kuriyama. And those studies "included small sample sizes, and the results were inconsistent," he added. However, "our study includes far more participants -- 40,350 -- than the previous studies," Kuriyama said. "I think our study would provide strong evidence regarding the benefits of drinking green tea in humans on cardiovascular disease." "To be more definitive, we need a randomized trial," said Chyu. He said his lab's animal studies have found that green tea does have cardio-protective effects, especially if consumption commences before the onset of hardening of the arteries. For those who might want to "go green" for health, "I'd probably take a neutral position right now," Chyu said. "Tea is not harmful, that we know," he said. If you're a tea drinker, continue, Chyu said. If not, be aware that the habit probably needs to be long-term before you reap any real health benefit. "I don't think I'd recommend people drink large quantities of green tea," added Dr. Robert Vogel, professor of medicine at the University of Maryland Medical School in College Park. Like Chyu, he stressed that the study only showed an association, not any direct cause-and-effect. However, he said green tea consumption is certainly preferable to drinking beverages such as non-diet sodas, which are loaded with sugar. U.S. government health agencies have so far backed away from recommending green tea as a health aid. Earlier this year, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration review of the available data found no evidence to support companies' claims that green tea eases cardiovascular risk. The agency released a similar statement in 2005, noting a lack of evidence that green tea fights cancer. Experts at the U.S. National Cancer Institute have also reviewed data from human trials focused on tea's cancer-preventing effects but said the studies offered conflicting results. The NCI is funding its own rigorous studies on the subject, however. The study's lead author was much more enthusiastic. "I personally drink green tea, two or three cups per day," Kuriyama said. "On the basis of our study results, I would like to recommend the drinking of green tea at least one cup per day." But Kuriyama added that the tea should not be steaming hot. "Drinking green tea at high temperature may be associated with increased risk of esophageal cancer and mortality," he said, citing two published studies. moreAmerican Journal Of Cardiovascular News
