Our culture affects the way we look after ourselves. It should shape the health care we receive too6/13/2019 Australia is a multicultural society, and our health services need to be designed accordingly. From shutterstock.comThis article is the final part in a series, Where culture meets health. For South Asians, there’s a distinct difference between “rice with curry” and “curry with rice”. When we spoke to Indian and Sri Lankan migrants with type 2 diabetes and heart disease, they told us the advice they received on ways to reduce the quantity of staples like rice in their diet was difficult to implement. This was because it doesn’t match with their perception of a “proper” meal – that is, a lot of rice and a little bit of curry. Receiving dietary advice not tailored to their cultural needs created a feeling that clinicians didn’t understand the social from https://aubreyflores.blogspot.com/2019/06/our-culture-affects-way-we-look-after.html from From https://tommysmith1.blogspot.com/2019/06/our-culture-affects-way-we-look-after.html from https://tommysmith1.wordpress.com/2019/06/13/our-culture-affects-the-way-we-look-after-ourselves-it-should-shape-the-health-care-we-receive-too/ from https://lisacustard.blogspot.com/2019/06/our-culture-affects-way-we-look-after.html

Even in very late life, senescent cells are thought to account for only a few percent at most of all cells in any given tissue, but they cause great disruption to tissue structure and function: chronic inflammation, impaired regeneration, fibrosis, and other unpleasant outcomes. This is accomplished via an as yet incompletely cataloged mix of secreted molecules known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype, or SASP. Acting via secretions allows a small number of cells to have large effects. When present for a limited period of time, senescent cells are helpful, a necessary part of wound healing, embryonic development, and suppression of cancer. Cells become senescent in response to the circumstance from https://aubreyflores.blogspot.com/2019/06/understanding-why-immune-system-fails.html from From https://tommysmith1.blogspot.com/2019/06/understanding-why-immune-system-fails.html from https://tommysmith1.wordpress.com/2019/06/13/understanding-why-the-immune-system-fails-to-destroy-lingering-senescent-cells-may-lead-to-new-senolytic-therapies/ from https://lisacustard.blogspot.com/2019/06/understanding-why-immune-system-fails.html The London Dentistry Show is on its way – and it’s set to be a substantial affair.

Maybe you’re traveling and need to readjust to a new timezone or just are desperate to fall/stay asleep… I’m sure you’ve tried melatonin or at least it’s come across during your research for ‘natural’ sleep supplements. But is taking an important neurotransmitter going to just perpetuate the struggle for your body to naturally initiate sleep? Watch this video where I talk about the research on melatonin as well as my personal thoughts on it (or scroll down for the transcript): If you want to try the microdose of melatonin (plus a lot of other natural sleep initiators), you can buy Doc Parsley’s Sleep Remedy here.

Setting a GCSE question about calories shows a profound ignorance of a deadly illnessPick any item of food and I will tell you how many calories there are in it. It is not a skill I’m proud of; it’s not even a good party trick. It is a product of mental illness, one that I have battled with since childhood, which eventually got me admitted to an eating disorders unit at the age of 31.This week, students sitting a GCSE maths exam were asked the question: “There are 84 calories in 100g of banana. There are 87 calories in 100g of yogurt. Priti has 60g of banana and 150g of yogurt for breakfast.

And it wasn’t good. But when he turned to his doctors last summer to confirm the dire diagnosis — stage 4 pancreatic cancer — he learned the news in a way no patient should. The first physician, a specialist Naito had known for 10 years, refused to acknowledge the results of the “off-the-scale” blood test that showed unmistakable signs of advanced cancer. “He simply didn’t want to tell me,” Naito said. A second specialist performed a tumor biopsy, and then discussed the results with a medical student outside the open door of the exam room where Naito waited. “They walk by one time From https://khn.org/news/never-say-die-why-so-many-doctors-wont-break-bad-news/ from https://aubreyflores.blogspot.com/2019/06/never-say-die-why-so-many-doctors-wont.html from From https://tommysmith1.blogspot.com/2019/06/never-say-die-why-so-many-doctors-wont.html from https://tommysmith1.wordpress.com/2019/06/13/never-say-die-why-so-many-doctors-wont-break-bad-news/ from https://lisacustard.blogspot.com/2019/06/never-say-die-why-so-many-doctors-wont.html |
