In its early stages the Alzheimer’s disease is not easy to detect. To be a disease that is behaving in a gradual and progressive, their first instances are rather diffuse and far from clear, which makes it very difficult task of doctors for diagnosis.

A group of neurologists of Addenbrooke Hospital in the United Kingdom led by Dr. Jeremy Brown have developed a very effective mini-test that could be a big help to detect the disease in its previous stages.

This test has been tested with 700 individuals, right in a 93 percent of the cases in which the disease was indeed real, which doubles the percentage of wisdom of mechanisms used conventionally.

Questions such as “Who is the prime minister?”, “why a carrot is like a pope?”, “What year began the First World War?”, “List four creatures that begin with the letter ‘S’” and a series of sums are some of the indications that contains the test.

In spite of prove easy questions to answer, the error in them may be indicating an Alzheimer’s disease in early stages of development, with appropriate medication can remain static without generating the havoc this disease occurs in the health of their affected.

Both in Asia and Latin women who consume as much of soya, as well as children, have a 58 percent lower risk of breast cancer, according ensure researchers in U.S. , which concluded that the soya can have a protective effect.

“The intake of the children was associated with significantly reduced risk for breast cancer in our study,” said Dr… Larissa Korde of National Cancer Institute, whose study appears in the journal of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention?

Historically, the rates of breast cancer among white women in the United States are four to seven times higher than that of women in China or Japanese, said Regina Ziegler of the National Institute of Cancer.

But when the Asian women migrate to the United States, its risk to breast cancer increases over several generations, which suggests something more than genetics is at stake, Dr.. Korde and his colleagues, assessed two factors to see if it were the diet or lifestyle which could explain the differences.

He met nearly 1600 women of Chinese origin, Japanese and Filipino who lived in San Francisco, Oakland, or Los Angeles, California or Hawaii, of which 600 already had breast cancer and the rest were healthy.

If women had mothers living in the United States, asked the mother information on his daughter and consumption of soya in childhood.

Women who consume larger quantities of soy in the children had 58 percent less risk to the breast cancer compared with those of the groups lower

A siesta daily could increase the risk of death in an older woman, suggests a new study.

In contradiction with numerous previous studies, which have found effects health benefits in the siesta, researchers at the California Pacific Medical Center, found that white women of advanced age, who took a nap a day took 44 percent more likely to die by any cause, the 58 percent was more likely to die of heart problems.

The results were obtained on the basis of studies in seven years on more than 8000 white women and 69 years old or more, also met even if women were relatively healthy.

However, a bit of siesta seemed fine in participants that the taking of less than three hours a week, as it did not show a greater likelihood of death, according to researchers.

The study was published in line in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, also found that these older women had a greater risk of death if they had between nine and 10 hours of sleep each day in comparison with those who slept between eight and nine hours.

However, the researchers said that people should not link to the siesta with poor health, only recommend that older people jump the siesta.

They noted that based on sleep disorders or other medical conditions, naps could be conducive to the daytime sleepiness. Read the rest of this entry »
