Scientists have found a
new way to recycle water they have designed a plant filtration system
that they claim would let one drink one’s shower water.
All one needs to do is to put plants in
the bottom of the shower, they say. Scientists from Ecole Nationale
Supirieure de Creation Industrielle in France say, after one has washed
in the special eco-shower the water passes down into a series of filters
and is treated by plants such as reeds and rushes growing around your
feet.
“These plants have been proven to be able to remove shampoo chemicals.
Using a natural filtering principle, the bathroom becomes a
mini-eco-system by recycling and regenerating the wastewater,” the
researchers said.
Women should know that
not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting.
Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.
You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart
attack.
Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.
60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake
up.
Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be
aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive...
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to everyone
they know, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life.
"Healthy Weight-Healthy Blood Pressure" is the theme for this year
This year World Hypertension League (WHL) has chosen "Healthy
Weight-Healthy Blood Pressure" as the theme for World Hypertension Day
2010. Keeping in mind that more than 1 Billion adults worldwide are
overweight and over 300 million of them are obese, the WHL intends to
bring about public awareness of obesity and its effects on hypertension.
As, weight has either direct or indirect
effect on heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and diabetes. The
objective of the World Hypertension Day is to promote the detection,
control and prevention of arterial hypertension in populations. This the
day for education about high blood pressure which is the biggest single
cause of death worldwide through strokes, heart attacks and kidney
diseases.

Avoid Eating Chicken...
A lady recently had a growth in her womb and she underwent an operation
to remove the cyst. The cyst removed was filled with a dark colored
blood. She thought that she would be recovered after The surgery but She
was terribly wrong. .A relapse occurred just a few months later.
Distressed, she rushed down to her gynecologist for a consultation.
During her consultation, her doctor asked her a Question that puzzled
her. He ask if she was a frequent consumer of chicken and she replied
yes wondering as to how, he knew of her eating habits. You see, the
truth is in this modern day and age; Chickens are injected with steroids
to accelerate their growth so that the needs of this society can be met.
This need is none other than the need for food. Chickens that are
injected with steroids are usually given the shot at the neck or the
wings. Therefore, it is in these places that the highest concentration
of steroids exists. These steroids have terrifying effects on the body
as it accelerates growth. It has an even more dangerous effect in the
presence of female and children hormones, this leads to being more prone
to the growth of a cyst in the womb.
Walking burns more fat than
running
Researchers have found that low-intensity
exercise may burn more fat than high-intensity activities when it comes to
shedding pounds.
The findings were reported in the International Journal of Sports Medicine.
The research team, led by Dr. Vassilis Mougios of Aristotle University of
Thessaloniki in Greece, randomly assigned 14 normal-weight and overweight
women to one of two groups: one that exercised on a treadmill at a moderate
pace, four times a week; and one that worked out at a more vigorous clip,
also four times per week. The two group were placed on a three-month
exercise regimen.
The researchers set time period for the workouts so that women in both
groups would burn 370 calories each time.
After three months, exercisers in both groups were thinner, but the
lower-intensity group lost more weight -- about 7 pounds, on average,
compared with 4 pounds in the high-intensity group.
Though women in the high-intensity group shed fewer pounds, they did retain
more muscle mass than those who worked out more moderately, the researchers
note.
The researchers recommended that to get the greatest health and fitness
benefits, people should strive for a mix of moderate and vigorous
cardiovascular exercise, as well as strength training.
There is no such thing as one "magic exercise," said lead study author Dr. Vassilis Mougios of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece.

Most heart attacks aren't
like in the movies - sudden and intense. Usually, they start slowly,
with mild pain or discomfort. Often people affected aren't sure what's
wrong and wait too long before getting help. Here are the most common
signs of a heart attack or heart disease that could lead to one.
Chest discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of
the chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or that goes away and
comes back. It can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness
or pain. Fatigue or a vague sense of being ill without explanation,
especially among women.
Discomfort in other areas of the upper body. Symptoms can include pain
or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
Shortness of breath, which women in particular may have without chest
discomfort.
Other signs: breaking out in a cold sweat, indigestion, nausea or
lightheadedness.

What is high blood pressure?
When the heart beats, blood is forced through the arteries and it
"pushes out" against the walls of the arteries. This "pushing out" is
known as blood pressure. Blood pressure is stated as two numbers:
systolic and diastolic pressures. These two numbers are displayed one
above the other like this: 120/78.The systolic pressure is measured when
the heart beats (when it is pumping blood). This is when the blood
pressure is highest. The blood pressure falls when the heart is between
beats (at rest). This is the diastolic pressure.As a general rule, a
person is considered to have high blood pressure when it is 140/90 or
higher. Be aware that this is only a rule of thumb and you should have
your blood pressure checked by a physician on a regular basis.In a
nutshell, high blood pressure (also known as hypertension) is when the
blood pressure is higher than normal. Symptoms of high blood pressure
There are no reliable, recognizable symptoms of high blood pressure. It
is quite possible to have high blood pressure for years and never even
know it! This is why high blood pressure is often referred to as "the
silent killer". What causes high blood pressure?
In the vast majority of high blood pressure cases, the cause cannot be
determined. In the rare cases where the cause is known, they usually
include one or more of the following: an abnormal kidney a structural
abnormality of the aorta narrowing of one or more arteries How can high blood pressure be controlled?
There are several things that can be done to help control high blood
pressure. These include:
Lose weight. Excess fat
has been linked to high blood pressure.
Eat a well-balanced,
low sodium diet.
Get regular exercise
(see your doctor first!).
Prescription
medications (if your doctor recommends them).
Any other steps that
may be suggested by your doctor.
Conclusion
High blood pressure is a very serious disorder that must be controlled
in order to enjoy a long, healthy life. Be sure to live a generally
healthy lifestyle and have your blood pressure checked regularly.
Giving
coffee to babies won't keep them awake as in case of adults, in fact the
hot beverage would have a long-lasting and detrimental effect on little
ones' sleep and breathing patterns in adulthood, says a new study.
Breathing problems are the leading causes of hospitalization and death
in premature babies. These babies are therefore often given caffeine
because of its qualities as a respiratory stimulant. Up till now, the
long-term effects of this treatment in humans have not been examined.
However, in the Journal of Physiology, Gaspard Montandon and colleagues
showed that the use of caffeine in neonates can cause serious
alterations in the sleeping patterns of adult rats as a result of its
effect on the developing respiratory system. Sleep abnormality is a
significant indicator for ill health and reduced life span. When the
caffeine-treated rats reached adulthood, their sleeping time was
reduced, the length of time they took to reach the first stage of sleep
was increased, and their non-REM sleep was fragmented. Breathing at rest
was higher than in rats not treated with caffeine.
In his review of the study, F1000 Faculty Member James Duffin of the
University of Toronto says the results "raise concerns about the
long-term consequences of neonatal caffeine administration on brain
development and behaviour."
Historically research has focused on
men. As one example, women are under-represented in major clinical
trials for cancers that affect both sexes, a new study found.
Researchers say several factors could be responsible, from childcare
issues to reluctance by researchers to expose women of childbearing age
to trial drugs and treatments. In other areas where research into
women's medical problems is lacking, the issue is not just about sexism.
Women's hormone fluctuations are, well, complicated and can confound
basic findings. But in recent years, women have been getting increased
attention. Still, much misinformation about the female body circulates
in mainstream consciousness.
Myth: Antibiotics make birth control
pills unreliable.
"Many physicians even believe this,"
Carroll said. Alone, birth control pills fail about one percent of the
time. And that failure rate is unchanged when taken with the vast
majority of antibiotics, Carroll said. A possible exception is rifampin,
the antibiotic prescribed for tuberculosis. Rifampin does lower
pregnancy-protecting hormone levels induced by birth control pills, but
whether the effect is large enough to increase pregnancy risk is
unclear. Carroll thinks rifampin research spurred the antibiotic/birth
control rumor. "Sometimes people say things and they just take off," he
said.
Myth: A doctor can tell if a woman is a
virgin.
Even when using 10-fold magnification, doctors can not accurately sort
virgins from the sexually-active, several studies have reported. It is
not as simple as looking for a hole in the hymen because, well, there is
always a hole in the hymen. "Some people think the hymen seals off the
vagina [until virginity is lost], but that is just not true," said Dr.
Rachel Vreeman of Indiana University and Carroll's co-author of "Don't
Swallow Your Gum." In the rare cases when it is sealed, period blood
builds in the uterus and causes severe medical problems, she said.
Myth: Women and men need equal sleep.
Tossing and turning not only causes women more psychological distress,
it also raises their insulin and inflammation levels -- risk factors for
compromised health, found a 2008 study of 210 people led by Edward
Suarez at Duke University. A study of more than 6,000 participants, led
by researchers at the University of Warwick in 2007, found that women
who slept five or less hours a night were twice as likely to suffer from
hypertension than women who slept for seven or more hours. Among men,
there was no such relationship. Sleeping Beauty may be better off waking
up on her own watch.
Myth: A women can't get pregnant during
her period.
While a woman is unlikely to conceive
during menstruation, "nothing, when it comes to pregnancy, is
impossible," said Aaron Carroll of Indiana University and co-author of
"Don't Swallow Your Gum: Myths, Half-truths and Outright Lies About Your
Body and Health" (St. Martin's Griffin, 2009). Once inside a woman,
sperm can wait for an egg for up to a week. Ovulation can occur soon
after, or even during, the bleeding phase of a woman's menstrual cycle,
giving patient sperm the chance to get lucky. The timing method of birth
control doesn't work well, Carroll said, agreeing that couples who
practice it are often called: parents.
Myth: Menopause causes sex drive to
nosedive.
The Change is not necessarily one that happens in the bedroom. A
comprehensive survey of sexual habits in the United States, completed by
Edward Laumann and colleagues in 1994, found that roughly half of women
in their fifties have sex several times a month. While hot flashes and
other discomforts may make a women temporarily not in the mood, there is
not a direct link between menopause and sexual desire, Vreeman said. So
if you are entering the Big M, there is no reason to say good-bye to the
Big O.

deaths of a significant number of mothers and their newborn children
each year.
The impact that access to safe blood can have on health outcomes for
pregnant women with severe bleeding is illustrated by Malawi. In 2003,
the country established the Malawi Blood Transfusion Service. In 2005,
the maternal mortality rate due to severe blood loss had fallen by more
than 50% donation by voluntary unpaid blood donors.
The 2004 data reveal some tangible improvements since 2001-2002, but
family/replacement donors and paid donors still remain a significant
source of blood for transfusion in many developing and transitional
countries.
A total of 60 countries reported an
increase in the percentage of blood donated by voluntary unpaid
blood donors and a further 41 countries maintained the same level;
37 countries showed a decline in the percentage of blood donations
from unpaid voluntary blood donors.
In 2002, 39 countries had achieved 100%
unpaid voluntary blood donation, of which five were developing
countries. By 2004, this had risen to 50 countries. Out of the 11
new countries that achieved this, three were least developed
countries.
Ministries of health in three countries
reported very significant strides in achieving 100% voluntary unpaid
donation. These are Central African Republic (where the proportion
increased from 25% to 100%), Egypt (from 15% to 100%) and Uruguay
(28% to 100%).
More and more countries are moving
towards voluntary blood donation. In 2002, 63 countries were
collecting less than 25% of their blood from voluntary unpaid
donors; by 2004, this had fallen to 46 countries.
Particularly striking was the increase
from 25% to 47% in the proportion of total donations collected from
voluntary non-remunerated blood donors in developing and
transitional countries.
The number of units donated in
transitional countries has increased from 29 million in 2002 to 36
million in 2004.
92% of donations in developed countries
are from voluntary unpaid donors as compared to about 67% in
developing and transitional countries. This means that
family/replacement donors still remain a significant source of blood
for transfusion in low HDI and medium HDI countries.
More than 2.2 million units were still
collected from paid blood donors in 2004 in which the level is the
same as compared to the last survey. The majority of these (94%)
were collected in medium HDI countries.
Blood is a Liquid Tissue:
Almost all tissues are solid however blood is liquid and comprised of
many important ingredients: Heart is at the heart of its fast
circulation through millions of miles in uncountable capillaries brining
all what is required to sustain the life at cell level and beyond. It
has many currents and rows of gases, solids and liquid which do not mix
up. It is hyper-dynamic. Gushing, moving, giving, receiving, storing,
balancing, cooling, heating, transferring, nurturing, breathing,
beautiful red hot blood which makes engine and sprit of our lives keep
going. See these phrases from Surah Ar-Rehman and apply to Blood:
Moving two rows side by side, in
between there is partition which they can’t transgress. And which
bounties and powers of your Lord can you deny.
Emerge from therein Lu Lu & Marjan And
which bounties and powers of your Lord can you deny.
And for Him are the ships like
mountains And which bounties and powers of your Lord can you deny.
This is more than three dimension of blood.
Numerous rows side by side but not interfering and transgressing, each
doing its job perfectly well! Numerous Lu Lu & Marjan present in the
blood and many things floating in like ships.
Ingredients of Blood:
Blood is comprised of cells and plasma; of course both contain gases in
various forms. The Cells of blood are red, white and platelets each with
zillions of functions. Without going in any details we will here briefly
mention their functions:
Cells:
Red Cells: Primary function to carry
oxygen to the tissues and carry back carbon dioxide thus keeping
flame of our life burning and shining at molecular, cell and tissue
levels
White Blood Cells: Primary Function to
defend against infections
Platelets: To help in clotting of blood
Plasma: The liquid portion of the blood is no less important than the cells.
It contains hundreds of different chemicals which are required for
different essential functions. This can be separated from the blood and
kept frozen at very low temperature. It is then issued as Fresh Frozen
Plasma (FFP). At times even the subcomponents of plasma is separated
e.g. cryoprecipitate of Factor VIII of blood and given to the hemophilic
patients who lack this very important clotting factor.
The Life Span of Blood is Short One:
Not unlike skin, hair, nails etc, our tissues are gradually replaced. It
is a superb management system of Allah Ta’lah where every thing is
precisely recorded and provided. The life span of various components of
our blood varies. The red blood cells usually last for 4 months and then
they are destroyed and new ones are created. The process is happening
all the time i.e. at any given time billions of red cells are being
destroyed and billions and new ones are replacing them. The body’s
inventory system is superb, the lost blood is meticulously and
accurately replaced Al-Hamdolillah
Blood Groups:
We can’t readily give blood to each other without prior testing as the
red cells of our blood carry very powerful antigen which when exposed to
the ocean of plasma of the recipient may encounter pre-formed powerful
antibodies which may destroy our red cells. Luckily there are few blood
groups which would react so strongly that not only the donor’s red cells
would be destroyed but also the life of the recipient may be in danger.
In order to avoid this, blood of the donor is grouped so that recipient
receives only the blood which is not going to react. In addition to
grouping, recipient and donor’s blood is mixed so that any reaction can
be seen before transfusing the blood. Even then patient or his/her
relatives are cautioned that if patient feels uncomfortable or feel any
untoward effect or the nurse or doctor or any attendant see any unusual
thing such as pain, drop in blood pressure, excessive sweating etc. the
blood transfusion must be stopped and doctor be informed.
Blood Donation is not risky:
Blood banks interview you and if you are suffering from any illness or
donating a blood could be dangerous for you or for the recipient, then
the blood must not be drawn. Actually the donor must be informed about
his/her illness so that he/she can immediately start his/her treatment.
At the same time his/her blood component must not be transfused. World
wide the Blood Banks routinely screen for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and
HIV. Some countries following WHO guidelines are also doing the
screening for syphilis. In Pakistan however the incidence of syphilis is
Al-Hamdolillah so low that it is generally not screened. After donation
of the blood, the donor is required to keep lying or sitting for some
time and must not stand up suddenly as in some individuals there is
momentarily low blood pressure and person may feel little dizzy. This
however corrects itself in few minutes
Preventive Measures in Blood Banking :
Taking interview of the potential
donors so that unfit donors are not subjected to bloodletting. Both
donors and recipients are focused and protected.
Blood is screened for Hepatitis B, C
and HIV and in those countries where venereal diseases are common,
blood for syphilis is also carried out.
Many Blood Banks do the screening for
above mentioned diseases after the blood is collected. However at
Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) we have begun double
screening to assure safety to both the donor and the recipients. If
blood turns out to be positive for the infections, we simply do not
subject the potential donor to bloodletting. As collecting his
blood, storing, making components from his blood and then destroying
all these after it turns out to be positive is tedious job and has
many lacunae and thus could lead to corrupt practice of selling the
contaminated blood and its components. In countries where law &
order situation is not perfect, contaminated syringes and needles
along with infectious blood could be easily sold We at PIMS inform
the potential donor about his/her disease so that he/she may begin
his/her treatment and at the same time may not lead to spread of the
diseases to the other contacts. We nonetheless double checking after
the blood is collected and if the blood in some cases who escaped
initial screening turns out to be positive we immediately reject
that blood and all its components and autoclave all of these
components through autoclaving.
Blood is transplanted in the recipient
and at times recipient’s body may not accept it and at other rare
times some cells in the donors’ cells may attack the recipients’
tissues. However these complications are quite rare and these rare
risks can be taken if there is a genuine need for blood transfusion.
The safer and the healthier the donated blood, the lesser the risks
of infectious disease. The better the Blood Bank’s moral and ethical
values and competence and vigilance, the lesser the chances of
issuing the wrong blood in terms of grouping etc. The relatives and
the hospital nurses and doctors also bear some responsibility; if
any untoward reaction is noted, the transfusion must stop
immediately and sample of the patient’s blood and urine along with
the blood bag must be sent back to the blood bag for proper inquiry
and investigations.
When There is No Need for Blood Transfusion:
Under following condition perhaps generally (With few exceptions) there
is no genuine need for Blood Transfusion:
If the patient’s hemoglobin is over 8
gm/dl
If the patient’s hemoglobin can be
maintained over 8 gm/dl during surgery
In elective Surgeries where patient may
donate his/her own blood about a month prior to Surgery and
replenish the deficit through healthy diet and food supplements to
facilitate accelerated new red blood cell formation
If only order for one unit of blood is
issued meaning perhaps there is no serious shortage of blood in the
body
When Blood Becomes Life Saving:
Accidents leading to severe loss of
blood
Surgeries where lot of blood is lost
When our blood manufacturing factories
(Bone Marrow) are diseased e.g. due to infection (e.g. TB), cancer,
fibrosis etc.
Rapid destruction of blood within body
due to malformed red blood cells or extrinsic factors causing
destruction of red cells e.g. autoimmune factors, infections etc.
etc.
During or after pregnancy when some
vessels are torn
Excessive bleeding due to lack of blood
clotting (Many factors)
There should be simply no dearth of ample blood supply in the hospital
so that even the worst case of bleeding could be given adequate blood at
fast speed. Like skin, nails and hair our blood is decayed and new one
is produced all the time. Hence a blood which would any way be dead and
replaced in less than four months, could be donated which is only a
fraction of the total blood. Our body will automatically increase the
rate of synthesis of new blood thus replenishing the lost blood in few
days thanks to superb inventory and reporting and responding system made
by Allah Ta’lah in our body.
Types of Blood Donations:
Many types of blood donation are prevalent including the following:
Selling of blood: Many drug addicts are
willing to sell their blood despite the fact they have very low
hemoglobin.
Forced transfusions where people
seeking driving license etc. are made to donate the blood otherwise
they would not get the license
Replacement Blood Transfusion where
patient himself/herself is required to arrange donor
Voluntary Blood Donation where people
with a sense of help to others and saving precious lives, come up
themselves and donate blood regularly. Men can easily donate blood
every four months while women every six months. This is the best
form of donation which has been shown to be beneficial for all. It
has reduced the incidence of transmittance of infectious diseases in
the community.
Hazards of Non Voluntary Blood Donations:
Stress on patients at worst time. When
the relatives and friends are trying to save patient’s life, they
are also forced to come up with some donors.
At times it is difficult to arrange donors, which leads to selling
and buying of the blood and this becomes a treat for corruption
mafia which uses the excuses that blood is not available although
blood collected but not used for the patients is usually available.
The corrupt mafia may even possibly sell the contaminated blood and
its components which may result in injection of infected blood to
the recipient causing disastrous results for the recipient as well
as his/her family
Drug addicts selling their substandard and infectious blood
Spread of deadly diseases in the community. It has been shown by
many studies that with adoption of voluntary blood donation, the
incidence of hepatitis had gone down in the society
Saving blood:
There are many ways where blood can be saved and thus blood transfusion
may be averted all together. Following measures may be effective at
times:
Preventing bleedings e.g. in
hemorrhoids, varicose veins in cirrhosis of liver
Saving blood in surgery and reusing it
Donating one’s own blood for planned
surgery and keeping it safe in the Blood bank; in the mean time body
will compensate for the lost blood by making more blood.
The society, the Government and the Hospitals all have to play key role
in educating people about harmlessness of donating blood, the benefits
of the blood donation to the recipient, to the society and to the donor
him/herself. Pakistan has proven to be a great nation at the time of
last earthquake where thousands lined up for voluntary blood donation.
However there is a need to sustain and maintain that sprit throughout
the year. We must develop and nurture community sense and be helping and
caring people. It is required that society be made healthy at all levels
and in all spheres, may that be the institution of Justice, Good
Governance and right beliefs and values or may that be the right and
healthy attitude toward saving lives and helping other. We must
understand that in the game of cheating, deceiving, lethargy and
corruption there is no winner, everyone is looser. On the other hand if
we help each other selflessly, a positive and healthy culture would grow
and benefit all. Let’s not wait for another Earthquake or other
disaster, let us develop and sustain our collective good and strong
conscience to help others. We hope that you will not only register as
potential blood donor but also be part of this campaign so that whenever
anyone needs this precious gift of life, it is available readily without
cost and in the most healthy and reliable form.
At Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) Islamabad, we are
observing the Week of Voluntary Blood Donors (7th-14th June). You are
requested to enroll your name as a Proud Voluntary Blood Donor. We will
do free blood grouping and issue you a card and a badge. Please be part
of our campaign. We would like teachers and others Institute heads to
motivate the students and others to come up for this noble cause. If you
have any questions please call Dr. Lubna Naseem, In-Charge Blood
Transfusion Services or myself at 9260189 or 9261272. We will be more
than happy to help you.
