Keeping Blood Pressure Low Halves Risk of Second Stroke: Study

Posted: Published on March 29th, 2014

By Steven Reinberg HealthDay Reporter Latest High Blood Pressure News THURSDAY, March 27, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Controlling blood pressure after suffering a stroke can reduce the odds of having another stroke by more than half, a new study finds. But fewer than one-third of patients maintain a consistently low blood pressure more than 75 percent of the time, according to the two-year study. "This study showed that consistency of blood pressure control is an important factor influencing risk of another stroke, heart attack or death from vascular causes," said the study's lead researcher, Dr. Amytis Towfighi. Key lifestyle changes and at-home blood pressure monitoring might help these people avoid another stroke, said Towfighi, an assistant professor of neurology at the University of Southern California's Keck School of Medicine. Blood pressure varies, Towfighi said, and getting a decent blood pressure reading at an occasional checkup might not be enough for your doctor to make effective treatment decisions. "Use of home blood pressure monitors may give those with high blood pressure a better picture of their own consistency of blood pressure control," she said. "They should be encouraged to measure and record their blood pressure and share their blood pressure logs … Continue reading →

Marijuana pill may help MS patients, doctors report

Posted: Published on March 29th, 2014

There is strong evidence that medical-marijuana pills may reduce symptoms of spasticity and pain reported by multiple sclerosis patients, but little proof that smoking pot offers the same benefit, according to new alternative-treatment guidelines released by the American Academy of Neurology (AAN). The guidelines on complementary and alternative medicine (or CAM) treatments for MS were published Monday in the journal Neurology and are among the first from a national medical organization to suggest that doctors might offer cannabis treatment to patients. Though advocates of medical-marijuana use said the guidelines appeared to be part of a recent national trend in which doctors were seriously evaluating the use of cannabis, they argued that the federal government had stymied marijuana research. The reason theres no evidence on inhaled cannabis is because its very difficult to study, said Dr. Donald Abrams, a professor of clinical medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, and a marijuana researcher who was not involved in the guideline study. The government really restricts studies of the plant. A panel of AAN researchers based their guidelines on a review of 115 clinical studies that examined a variety of alternative MS treatments, including the use of Ginkgo biloba, magnets, bee … Continue reading →

Global cord blood player to offer public banking facility in India

Posted: Published on March 28th, 2014

The author has posted comments on this articleSumitra Deb Roy, TNN | Mar 28, 2014, 09.47PM IST MUMBAI: StemCyte India Therapeutics has emerged as the only company to offer private banking and public banking as well as stem cell transplants with umbilical cord blood. The company now plans to expand its operations by starting new collection centres and build over 5,000 plus public inventory of umbilical cord blood units. "One of the most important aspects in cord blood transplantation is the number of viable stem cells at time of transfusion. Through our patented plasma depletion technology, more than 99.95% of collected nucleated cells are restored during processing. This in turn results in higher probability of successful transplants," said Deepak Chhabra, COO, StemCyte India Therapeutics Pvt. Ltd. He added, "Umbilical cord blood transplant plays a major role in treatment of thalassemia patients. However as on date, there are only 5000 public units in Indian public inventories collectively and these units are not sufficient to treat more than 1 lakh patients who suffer from thalassemia and other blood disorders." StemCyte India Therapeutics Pvt. Ltd. is a joint venture between StemCyte Inc, US, Apollo Hospitals Enterprises Ltd and Cadila Pharmaceuticals Ltd. The company … Continue reading →

How You Can Be Fit But Not Healthy

Posted: Published on March 28th, 2014

Ryan Shay was at the peak of fitness when he lined up at the start of the New York City Marathon in November 2007 with the hopes of qualifying for his first Olympic team. Less than six miles later, the 28 year old collapsed. Soon after, he was pronounced dead. When Shay's autopsy revealed scarring in the healthy, young runner's heart, scientists finally woke up to the possibility that exercise might not be the panacea for health that it has long been touted to be, said Peter McCullough, a cardiologist at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas. Since then, a growing, still controversial body of research has begun to show that all the exercise in the world won't protect your heart if you don't also eat well and for some people, take drugs to overcome cardiovascular risk factors. Exercising too much may even raise the risk of developing clogged arteries. The message is not that exercise is pointless, experts caution. Instead, it's that you can't eat with abandon just because you're fit and slim. It may also be unwise to exercise with abandon, no matter what you eat. "There was this false belief that you could just eat junk food … Continue reading →
