Brain signature of emotion-linked pain is uncovered

Posted: Published on January 14th, 2015

YOU'RE not imagining the pain. But your brain might be behind it, nonetheless. For the first time, it is possible to distinguish between brain activity associated with pain from a physical cause, such as an injury, and that associated with pain linked to your state of mind. A fifth of the world's population is thought to experience some kind of chronic pain that which has lasted longer than three months. If the pain has no clear cause, people can find themselves fobbed off by doctors who they feel don't believe them, or given ineffective or addictive painkillers. But a study led by Tor Wager at the University of Colorado, Boulder, now reveals that there are two patterns of brain activity related to pain. One day, brain scans could be used to work out your relative components of each, helping to guide treatment. "Pain has always been a bit of a puzzle," says Ben Seymour, a neuroscientist at the University of Cambridge. Hearing or vision, for example, can be traced from sensory organs to distinct brain regions, but pain is more complex, and incorporates thoughts and emotions. For example, studies have linked depression and anxiety to the development of pain conditions, … Continue reading →

How do my hormones affect my cholesterol?

Posted: Published on January 14th, 2015

Despite decades of research on prevention, detection, and management, coronary heart disease is still a number one cause of mortality and morbidity in the developed world for both men and women. A major risk factor for both myocardial infarction and atherosclerosis is hypercholesterolemia. Anti-aging medicine concepts and interventions were shown to be highly relevant with regards to hormone replacement therapy in a small clinical study by Dzugan et al. in 2002. The theory presented was the belief that high cholesterol levels were a consequence of low production of steroid hormones, i.e., estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. After youthful levels of these hormones were restored, total cholesterol dropped by 23.5 percent and normalized completely in 61.6 percent of patients. It is also important to note that individual dosing with bio-identical hormones were used. In this study all patients reported an increase in quality of life. So, it seems bio-identical hormone replacement therapy has been shown to be an effective approach in the control of hypercholesterolemia. Treatment for high cholesterol (dyslipidemia) should start with optimal nutrition, diet, and ideal body weight, along with an aerobic and resistance exercise program. If appropriate for a low to moderate risk person, nutritional supplements are utilized. Some … Continue reading →
