<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Bladder infection, known as cystitis or urinary tract infection may be a problem for many of us. Statistics show that 20 per cent of all women have suffered from at least one form of bladder infection symptom.</p>
<p><a href="http://cutme.org/H1ul36WA54" rel="nofollow">Urinary tract infection fast</a></p>
<p>The vet suggests several lab tests to rule out a urinary tract infection and other more serious diseases such as diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus.<br />
The total focus of the appointment is to address the clinical symptoms.<br />
Does it happen more frequently at a particular time of the hours of daylight.<br />
Does the pet select to sleep in the sun, or does she seek out a cool.<br />
Questions are asked about the dog&#8217;s environment, the diet and favorite foods, stressors and behavioral tendencies in an attempt to consider the whole, just as the gardener considers the totality of the environment.<br />
Whilst the owner is relating this information, the TCM practitioner observes the animal&#8217;s behavior in the exam room, looking at the dog&#8217;s body shape and examining the skin and coat.<br />
Just like the Western clinician, the TCM practitioner then palpates the abdomen and limbs.<br />
In this tradition these diagnostic points correspond to specific internal organs.<br />
The allopathic vet probably will prescribe dosages of DES, a synthetic oestrogen.</p>

<p>The underlying inclination to insulin resistance is not lost, and weight loss must continue.<br />
Overweight patients treated with metformin compared with diet alone, had relative risk reductions of 32 per cent for any diabetes endpoint, 42 per cent for diabetes related death and 36 per cent for all cause mortality and stroke.<br />
Insulin therapy is de rigueur to maintain common or near common glucose levels.<br />
Gestational diabetes mellitus resembles type 2 diabetes in several respects, involving a pairing of relatively inadequate insulin secretion and responsiveness.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Minuman teh kombucha dapat  dibuat dari sepotong membran jamur teh atau beberapa sendok larutan kombucha atau gabungan keduanya. Bila disimpan di tempat yang sesuai dan diberi media tumbuh berupa teh manis, minuman sehat dan segar ini akan berkembang dengan sendirinya.</p>
<p>Bahan<strong> :</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>250 gram gula pasir</li>
<li>2 lt air putih</li>
<li>4 sendok teh hijau/hitam,  bisa juga menggunakan teh  celup</li>
<li>bibit Kombucha</li>
</ul>
<p>Peralatan       :</p>
<ul>
<li>Panci untuk merebus  teh</li>
<li>Kompor</li>
<li>Pengaduk</li>
<li>Saringan untuk menyaring teh</li>
<li>Toples untuk fermentasi teh kombucha</li>
<li>Botol semprot alkohol 70% (untuk mensterilkan      peralatan dan permukaan tangan)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Proses Pembuatan :</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>1. </strong>Tahap Pembuatan Teh manis</p>
<p>Masukkan teh hijau/hitam (Bisa menggunakan teh celup ataupun teh rajang) ke dalam air panas yang telah disiapkan sebelumnya. Tambahkan gula dan diaduk hingga rata.  Dalam keadaan masih cukup panas lakukan penyaringan untuk memperoleh larutan yang homogen sambil dipindahkan  kedalam toples yang terbuat dari gelas/kaca. Kemudian tutup rapat dan biarkan  teh manis mendingin. Pastikan toples telah bersih dan steril dengan cara membersihkannya dengan alkohol 70%.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> Tahap Inokulasi</p>
<p>Setelah teh manis dalam toples mendingin/hangat-hangat kuku, tambahkan   10%  air bibit teh kombucha  kemudian diaduk dengan sendok yang telah disterilkan dengan alkohol. Setelah itu masukkan  pula bibit kombucha yang  berupa lapisan selulosa. Segera tutup kembali toples untuk menghindari kontaminasi. Toples ditutup rapat selama 24 jam.</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> Tahap Fermentasi</p>
<p>Setelah 24 jam, ganti tutup toples tersebut dengan menggunakan kain bersih yang telah disemprot alkohol 70% . Penutupan dengan kain ditujukan agar udara bisa masuk tapi sekaligus menghambat masuknya organisme pengganggu seperti semut, lalat, nyamuk, ataupun  mikroba dan debu/polutan lainnya yang bisa mengkontaminasi larutan teh kombucha. Tanpa oksigen, bibit kombucha tidak dapat tumbuh dengan baik.</p>
<p>Ikat mulut toples dengan karet/tali kemudian  fermentasi/simpan pada suhu kamar selama 7-14 hari. Semakin lama masa fermentasi maka larutan akan semakin asam. Apabila menginginkan rasa yang tidak terlalu asam, cukup 7 hari fermentasi. Jika menginginkan rasa yang dominan asam, lakukan fermentasi selama 14 hari. Simpan di  tempat yang gelap, tenang dan hangat dan tidak boleh digoyang-goyang (misal di dalam lemari) .</p>
<p>Pada saat fermentasi terjadi, gula akan dipecah oleh jamur/khamir dalam starter dan akan terbentuk CO<sub>2</sub>. Cairan teh menjadi berbuih dan rasanya menjadi  masam.</p>
<p><strong>4.</strong> Setelah masa fermentasi (7-14 hari) akan terlihat lapisan selulosa baru dipermukaan.  Lapisan ini merupakan koloni jamur yang baru tumbuh.</p>
<p>Angkat jamur baru yang berada dipermukaan dan jamur lama di dasar toples, lalu saring airnya. Air yang telah disaring merupakan teh kombucha yang sudah siap dikonsumsi. Untuk memperoleh cita rasa yang lebih nikmat dan menyegarkan , teh kombucha dapat disajikan dengan tambahan es.</p>
<p>Teh kombucha yang telah jadi sebaiknya disimpan di lemari es untuk menghentikan proses fermentasi sehingga teh tidak terlalu asam.</p>
<p><strong>5</strong>. Jamur lama dan baru (berupa lapisan selulosa) dicuci bersih dengan air matang yang tidak panas, kemudian  simpan  kembali dalam wadah dan  beri air teh manis yang baru + 10% air teh kombucha yang telah jadi sebelumnya. Ulangi tahapan  no 1-5.</p>
<p>Point penting</p>
<ul>
<li>Setiap kali tahap fermentasi selesai, pada saat      pemisahan selalu sisakan 10% bagian teh kombucha untuk keperluan pembuatan      teh kombucha berikutnya.</li>
<li>Tutup toples dengan rapat menggunakan kain.</li>
<li>Seluruh tahapan dilakukan dalam keadaan      bersih/steril/aseptik.</li>
</ul>
<p>Sehari dapat diminum tiga gelas; satu gelas pada waktu perut kosong dipagi hari, gelas kedua setelah makan siang dan gelas ketiga pada saat menjelang tidur. Tapi bagi pemula sebaiknya meminum secara bertahap sedikit demi sedikit dengan ukuran gelas kecil. Bila tubuh sudah terbiasa volumenya bisa ditambah dari hari ke hari.<br />
Dosis pemberian kombucha berdasarkan umur :</p>
<ul>
<li>Lebih dari 18 tahun (dewasa) = 200 ml (1 gelas)</li>
<li>15 &#8211; 17 tahun                           =      3/4 dosis dewasa</li>
<li>0 &#8211; 14 tahun                             =      1/2 dosis dewasa</li>
<li>5 &#8211; 9 tahun                               =      1/3 dosis dewasa</li>
<li>3 &#8211; 4 tahun                               =      1/4 dosis dewasa</li>
</ul>
<p>semoga bermanfaat</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Beschreibung<br />
</strong><br />
Inositol zählt zu den Vitaminoiden (vitaminähnliche Substanzen) und ist neben Cholin wichtiger Bestandteil des Lecithins. Inositol ist in nahezu allen Körperzellen, besonders hoch konzentriert jedoch in Leber, Gehirn, Herzmuskel, Nieren und Hoden vorhanden. Seine im Körper aktive Form wird Myoinositol genannt. Obwohl der Körper Inositol aus Magnesium und Niacin (Vitamin B3) herstellen kann, reicht dies nicht aus um den Bedarf an Inositol zu decken. Inositol muss zusätzlich über die Nahrung (oder Supplemente) aufgenommen werden. Inositol arbeitet eng zusammen mit Cholin, mit dem es sich verbindet um Lecithin zu bilden. Beide Substanzen sind damit essentielle Bestandteile der Zellmembranen (Zellwände) und für die Zellstabilität, das Nervensystem, die Übertragung von Nervenreizen und dem Fettabtransport maßgeblich. Da Inositol für einen funktionierenden Neurotransmitter-Stoffwechsel nötig ist, wird es auch zur Behandlung von psycho-neurologischen Störungen eingesetzt. Der Inositol-Spiegel kann durch verschiedene Faktoren beeinflusst und gestört werden (z.B. Alkoholkonsum, Diabetes mellitus). In diesen Fällen ist eine höhere Inositol-Zufuhr von außen nötig um Mängel zu vermeiden.</p>
<p><strong><br />
Funktionen und Anwendungsbereiche </p>
<p>Funktionen</strong></p>
<p>•	Bestandteil der Zellmembran<br />
•	Funktionalität des Nervensystems<br />
•	Synthese von Neurotransmittern<br />
•	Regulierung des Fettstoffwechsels<br />
•	Spermienbildung in den Hoden</p>
<p><strong>Bestandteil der Zellmembranen</strong><br />
In den Zellwänden des gesamten Körpers befinden sich große Mengen Myoinositol. Es erfüllt dort strukturelle Aufgaben (Bildung von strukturgebenden Eiweißkomplexen in der Zellmembran) sowie funktionelle Aufgaben (Reizweiterleitung durch Regulierung der Natrium- und Calciumkonzentrationen in den Zellmembranen).</p>
<p><strong>Funktionalität des Nervensystems</strong><br />
Die Übermittlung von Nervenimpulsen in den Nervenzellen wird unter anderem von Myoinositol bestimmt, das in den Zellmembranen der Nervenfasern eingelagert ist.</p>
<p><strong>Synthese von Neurotransmittern</strong><br />
Myoinositol steuert der Bildung verschiedener wichtiger Neurotransmitter wie  Serotonin und Acetylcholin.<br />
<strong><br />
Regulierung des Fettstoffwechsels</strong><br />
Myoinositol reguliert sowohl den Fettstoffwechsel als auch den Fetttransport aus der Leber. Inositol-Supplemente vermögen damit Fettablagerungen in der Leber und Leberschädigungen vorzubeugen.</p>
<p><strong>Spermienbildung in den Hoden</strong><br />
Die Hoden (Testes) enthalten besonders viel Myoinositol, da die Substanz zur Bildung und Reifung der Spermienzellen notwendig ist. Bei einem Mangel an Inositol sinkt die Anzahl reifer Spermien deutlich ab.</p>
<p><strong>Anwendungsbereiche</strong></p>
<p>•	Diabetes mellitus<br />
•	Hoher Alkoholkonsum<br />
•	Senkung erhöhter Blutfettwerte<br />
•	Multiple Sklerose<br />
•	Depressionen<br />
•	Schlaflosigkeit<br />
•	Gedächtnisstörungen</p>
<p><strong>Diabetes mellitus</strong><br />
Bei Diabetikern ist der Inositol-Stoffwechsel gestört da der Abbau von Inositol stark gesteigert und der Transport bei erhöhtem Blutzuckerspiegel gestört ist. In den Nervenzellen von Diabetikern sind signifikant niedrige Inositol-Werte zu messen. Das trägt zu einer schlechteren Funktion der äußeren Nervenbahnen bei. Gaben von 500 bis 3.000 mg täglich verbessern die Bewegungskoordination bei Diabetikern und schützen die Nieren und Gefäße. </p>
<p><strong>Hoher Alkoholkonsum</strong><br />
Starker Alkoholkonsum verursacht Fettablagerungen in der Leber und Schädigungen der Leberzellen. Der Bedarf an Inositol (für Abtransport von Fett zuständig) steigt mit dem Alkoholkonsum.</p>
<p><strong>Senkung erhöhter Blutfettwerte</strong><br />
Inositol unterstützt die Senkung von LDL-Cholesterin und die Steigerung von HDL-Cholesterin, indem es die Fette aus der Leber in die Zellen transportiert. Bei erhöhten Cholesterinwerten haben sich vor allem kombinierte Gaben von Inositol, Cholin und Niacin (Vitamin B3) bewährt.</p>
<p><strong>Multiple Sklerose</strong><br />
Inositol ist an der körperlichen Synthese von Phospholipiden beteiligt. Phospholipide wiederum sind Fettstoffe, die zur Herstellung von Myelin, dem Baustoff für die Isolierung der Nervenwände benötigt werden. Bei Multiple Sklerose werden diese Nervenhüllen durch Entzündungen zunehmend beschädigt und zerstört. Inositol kann durch den ständigen Aufbau der Myelinschichten diesem Prozess entgegen steuern.<br />
<strong><br />
Schlaflosigkeit</strong><br />
Schlafstörungen können in vielen Fällen bereits durch die Ergänzung von Inositol, Calcium und Magnesium behoben werden.</p>
<p><strong>Gedächtnisstörungen</strong><br />
Inositol, das bei Gesunden in großen Mengen in den Gehirnzellen vorkommt, verbessert durch Aktivierung der Neurotransmitter-Synthese die kognitiven Gehirnfunktionen wie Gedächtnis- und Konzentrationsfähigkeit. </p>
<p><strong>Depressionen</strong><br />
Inositol ist hilfreich in der Behandlung von Depressionen. Auch diese Eigenschaft geht auf seinen Einfluss auf den Neurotransmitter-Stoffwechsel zurück. </p>
<p><strong>Erhöhter Bedarf und Mangel</p>
<p>Häufigste Ursachen für erhöhten Bedarf </strong><br />
•	Mangel an Mikronährstoffen sowie hoher Alkohol- oder Koffeinkonsum können die Inositol-Speicher leeren.<br />
•	Diabetes mellitus: Diabetiker scheiden erhöhte Mengen Inositol aus. Inositol-Ergänzungen werden für Diabetiker daher besonders empfohlen zur Normalisierung der Stoffwechselprozesse.<br />
•	Bestimmte chronische Erkrankungen: Niereninsuffizienz, Multiple Sklerose, erhöhte Blutfettwerte</p>
<p><strong>Mangelsymptome</strong><br />
•	neurologische Störungen (häufig bei Diabetikern)<br />
•	Hautrötungen<br />
•	Haarausfall<br />
•	Fetteinlagerungen in der Leber, erhöhte Blutfettwerte<br />
•	Konzentration- und Gedächtnisstörungen<br />
•	Reizbarkeit, Antriebslosigkeit, Depression</p>
<p><strong><br />
Zufuhrempfehlung und Einnahmehinweise</p>
<p>Zufuhrempfehlung</strong><br />
Die tägliche Inositol-Aufnahme über die herkömmliche Ernährung liegt bei etwa 1 g täglich.<br />
Als zusätzliche Nahrungsergänzung werden indikationsabhängig Mengen im Bereich von mehreren hundert Milligramm eingenommen.</p>
<p><strong>Gegenanzeigen </strong><br />
•	Bei chronischen Nierenkrankungen sollte Inositol nur nach therapeutischer Empfehlung eingenommen werden.<br />
•	Bei behandlungsbedürftigen Erkrankungen, der Einnahme von Medikamenten und in der Schwangerschaft und Stillzeit ist zudem mit dem behandelnden Arzt Rücksprache zu halten.<br />
<strong> </p>
<p>Hinweise zur Einnahme</strong><br />
Inositol sollte möglichst zusammen mit Cholin, zur Unterstützung der Nervenfunktionen zudem mit dem B-Vitamin-Komplex eingenommen werden. Kombinierte Einnahmen von Inositol und Cholin im Verhältnis von 2:1 sind zur Bildung des Neurotransmitters Acetylcholin effizient.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Beschreibung Zimt (cinnamomum) wird seit der Antike in Ägypten, China, Indien und Griechenland als N]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Beschreibung</strong></p>
<p>Zimt (cinnamomum) wird seit der Antike in Ägypten, China, Indien und Griechenland als Naturarznei- und Gewürzmittel eingesetzt. Zimt wird aus der getrockneten Rinde von Zimtbäumen gewonnen und weist mehrer interessante Eigenschaften aus. Zimtöl und -rinde besitzen eine starke antimikrobielle Aktivität, was auf dem Gehalt an Zimtaldehyd beruht. Ätherische Öle wirken relaxierend. Medizinisch am interessantesten sind mittlerweile die senkenden Effekte auf Blutzucker- und Blutfettspiegel, was Zimt für Diabetiker besonders wertvoll macht. </p>
<p><strong><br />
Anwendungsbereiche und Wirkungen</strong><br />
<strong><br />
Anwendungsbereiche</strong><br />
•	Blutzuckerkontrolle (antidiabetische Wirkung)<br />
•	Senkung der Blutfettwerte<br />
•	antibakterielle und fungizide Wirkung<br />
•	relaxierende, krampflösende Wirkung<br />
•	Unterstützung bei Appetitlosigkeit, Verdauungsbeschwerden, Völlegefühl<br />
<strong><br />
Blutzuckerkontrolle (antidiabetische Wirkung)</strong><br />
Die Senkung des Nüchtern-Blutzuckers durch Zimt wurde in evidenzbasierten Humanstudien mehrfach nachgewiesen. Die verantwortliche „insulinmimetische“ Substanz, als MHCP (Methylhydroxy-Chalcone-Polymer) identifiziert, wirkt direkt an den Insulinrezeptoren der Zellen. Hierdurch wird die Insulinwirkung und die Aufnahme von Glucose (Blutzucker) in die Körperzellen signifikant verbessert. Gleichzeitig wirkt sich Insulin auf den Fettstoffwechsel aus.<br />
<strong><br />
Senkung der Blutfettwerte</strong><br />
In klinischen Studien konnte eine Senkung der Triglycerid- und LDL-Cholesterin-Werte beobachtet werden. Die starke antioxidative Wirkung des Pflanzenstoffes MHCP wirkt zugleich der Lipidoxidation entgegen und senkt damit das Risiko für die Entstehung von Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen.</p>
<p><strong><br />
Wirkstoffe</strong></p>
<p>Der sekundäre Pflanzenstoff MHCP (Methylhydroxy-Chalcone-Polymer) ist für die Verbesserung der Insulinempfindlichkeit der Körperzellen und der Aufnahme der Blutglucose in die Zellen verantwortlich. Weitere Inhaltsstoffe sind Gerbstoffe (Proanthocyanidine), Phenolcarbonsäuren, bis zu 4 Prozent ätherische Öle mit den Hauptkomponenten p-Cymol, Linalool und o-Methoxizimtaldehyd, außerdem Methylhydroxy-Chalcone-Polymer, Ascorbinsäure, Salicylat, Borneol, Kampfer, Eugenol, Limonen, Sesquiterpene und Zink.</p>
<p><strong>Zufuhrempfehlung und Einnahmehinweise</p>
<p>Einnahmehinweis</strong><br />
Zur Zimt-Ergänzung wird hochwertiger Zimt als standardisierter Zimtextrakt oder Zimtöl empfohlen.</p>
<p><strong>Gegenanzeigen</strong><br />
Bei behandlungsbedürftigen Erkrankungen, der Einnahme von Medikamenten und in der Schwangerschaft und Stillzeit ist mit dem behandelnden Arzt Rücksprache zu halten.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I wrote the following last year for one of my favorite magazines, BARK (the inventors of “Dog is my co-pilot”).  With the holidays once again upon us, I thought I’d toss this information out into cyberspace as a timely reminder to avoid overindulging our dogs!</p>
<p>‘Tis the season for family gatherings, gift giving, and food galore.  Veterinarians know that this is also the season for canine pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), a painful, potentially life-threatening condition most commonly caused by overindulgence in foods that are particularly rich or fatty. And what kitchen isn’t overflowing with such foods this time of year?</p>
<p>The pancreas is a thin, delicate-appearing, boomerang-shaped organ that resides in the abdominal cavity, tucked up against the stomach and small intestine. While the pancreas may be diminutive in appearance, its actions are mighty! It is the body’s source of insulin and enzymes necessary for food digestion. When pancreatitis is chronic or particularly severe, this little factory sometimes permanently closes down, resulting in diabetes mellitus (requires insulin shots) and/or exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (requires digestive enzyme replacement therapy). </p>
<p>When a dog eats, enzymes are released from the pancreas into the small intestine, where they are activated for food digestion. Sometimes, for reasons we do not understand, these enzymes are activated within the pancreas itself, resulting in the inflammation of pancreatitis. In addition to rich or fatty foods, certain drugs, hormonal imbalances and inherited defects in fat metabolism can also cause pancreatitis. For some dogs, an underlying cause is never found. Classic pancreatitis symptoms include vomiting, abdominal pain, and decreased appetite and activity levels. </p>
<p>Short of performing a pancreatic biopsy (an invasive and risky procedure), diagnosing pancreatitis can be challenging, because noninvasive tests are fraught with false-negative and false-positive results. Veterinarians must rely on a combination of the following: </p>
<p style="text-align:left;">• A history of dietary indiscretion, vomiting and lethargy.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">• Physical examination findings (particularly abdominal pain).</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">• Characteristic complete blood cell count (CBC) and blood chemistry abnormalities.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">• A positive or elevated Spec cPL (canine pancreas-specific lipase) blood test.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">• Characteristic abdominal ultrasound abnormalities. </p>
<p>There is no cure for pancreatitis—much like a bruise, the inflammation must resolve on its own. This is best accomplished by allowing the pancreas to rest, which means giving nothing orally (not even water) to prevent digestive enzyme secretion. Treatment consists of hospitalization for the administration of intravenous fluids; injectable medication to control vomiting, pain and stomach acid secretion; and antibiotics to prevent secondary infection or abscess formation. Dogs should be monitored around the clock for the life-threatening complications that sometimes accompany pancreatitis, such as kidney failure, heart rhythm abnormalities, respiratory distress and bleeding disorders. Small amounts of water and a fat-free diet are typically offered once vomiting has stopped, abdominal pain has subsided, and there is blood test and/or ultrasound confirmation that the inflammation has calmed down. If your dog has pancreatitis, count on a minimum of two to three days of hospitalization, and be sure to ask who will be caring for your dog during the night. </p>
<p>Long-term treatment for pancreatitis typically involves feeding a low-fat or fat-free diet. This may be a life-long recommendation, especially if your dog has been a “repeat offender.”  Most dogs fully recover with appropriate therapy; however, some succumb to the complications associated with this disease.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="Nicky ©Joye Neff" src="http://www.speakingforspot.com/Images/NickyTurkey.jpg" alt="Nicky" width="480" height="360" /> </p>
<p>How can you prevent pancreatitis during this food-oriented time of year? You can avoid feeding holiday leftovers altogether (this would cause canine mutiny in my household) or you can heed the following recommendations. New foods should be fed sparingly and only if well tolerated by your dog’s gastrointestinal tract and waistline.  Keep in mind that whether offered a teaspoon or a tablespoon of something delicious, most dogs will gulp it down in the same amount of time and reap the same psychological benefit. Don’t offer tidbits from the table while you are eating. This is a set up for bad behavior. Offer the treat only after you’ve left the table. If you shouldn’t be eating the food yourself (emphasis on shouldn’t), please don’t feed it to your dog! By all means, give your precious poopsie a bit of turkey breast, but without the turkey skin or fat-laden mashed potatoes and creamy gravy. Go ahead and offer your sweet snookums a bite of brisket, but please —no potato latkes or sour cream! Bear in mind that most dogs are so darned excited about getting a treat, they don’t care what it is, only that they’re getting it!</p>
<p>Some people dream of sugar plum fairies, a white Christmas or a stress-free family gathering. I’m dreaming of a holiday season in which not a single dog develops pancreatitis!</p>
<p>Wishing you and your four-legged family members a joyful and healthy holidays season.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://www.diabetic-resources.com">Diabetes</a> is definitely a complex health problem, because it affects many areas of your life. First and foremost, your pancreas is affected, as it cannot produce enough insulin to keep the blood sugar levels within normal limits. Since it is an autoimmune disease, it also affects the immune system to some extent. Not at last, it will bad effect on your nervous system and will lead to overweight in many cases.</p>
<p>Besides a strict treatment, moderate physical activity and an adequate diet, you may also want to try phytotherapy. This alternative treatment relies on herbs that can improve your symptoms radically, despite not being able to cure the metabolic disorder.</p>
<p>Unlike conventional medication, these herbs have less serious side-effects, if any. More than that, the risk of overdoes does not even exist. Besides infusions made from these herbs, you can also try liquid extracts. In addition, there are plenty of supplements based on such herbs in the homeopathic stores.</p>
<p>As mentioned before, diet plays a significant role in the <a href="http://www.diabetic-resources.com">treatment of diabetes</a> mellitus. Recent studies revealed that by increasing the protein intake by as little as 15 percent, while simultaneously decreasing the carbohydrate intake by 15 percent, the concentration of insulin increases. In order to obtain even better results, you can increase the amount of protein while decreasing the carbohydrates from your diet.</p>
<p>In the treatment of <a href="http://www.diabetic-resources.com">diabetes mellitus</a>, physical activity should not be neglected. At a first glance it may appear that physical exercises affect only the muscles, but the results are much more profound. You can choose between strength, endurance, balance or stretching exercises, or even combine them all, so the best results are obtained.	</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Diese Artikel stammen alle von <a href="http://www.aerztezeitung.de/">aerztezeitung.de</a>, beginnend mit der nicht-medikamentösen Blutdrucksenkung und den angemessenen Fettanteil der Ernährung bei kardiovaskulären Erkrankungen. Zum Schluss gibt es einen sehr schönen Beitrag zum Thema Schulobst von Rebecca Beerheide. <em>juk</em></p>
<h2 style="text-align:justify;">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</h2>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Pro Kilo Gewichtsreduktion sinkt Blutdruck um 1,5 mmHg</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Nicht-medikamentöse Therapie: Blutdruck-Senkung bis zu 30 mmHg möglich</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">LÜBECK (ugr). <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Leichtes Ausdauertraining, moderate Gewichtsreduktion, weniger Alkohol und kein zusätzliches Salz</span> &#8211; so sieht die <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Bluthochdrucktherapie</span> aus, von der alle Patienten profitieren. &#8220;Wir empfehlen jedem Patienten eine Änderung seines Lebensstils; ganz gleich, wie stark die Hypertonie ausgeprägt ist&#8221;, sagte Professor Peter Dominiak von der Universitätsklinik Lübeck.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;Die Bedeutung der nicht-medikamentösen Therapie kann gar nicht hoch genug eingeschätzt werden; in den aktuellen Leitlinien sind alle vier Maßnahmen mit dem Evidenzgrad A versehen&#8221;, so der Präsident der Hochdruckliga-Tagung in Lübeck.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a title="Ratgeber Pharmazie und Gesundheit 2010&#124;Gesund werden und gesund bleiben – Wichtige Gesundheitstipps bietet der Ratgeber auf Lifeline.de, dem Gesundheitsportal für Patienten" href="http://www.lifeline.de/cda/krankheiten_a-z/ratgeber_pharmazie_und_gesundheit/content-209928.html" target="_blank">Übergewicht</a> ist bekanntlich einer der wesentlichen Risikofaktoren für Bluthochdruck. <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Pro abgenommenem Kilogramm Körpergewicht wird der Blutdruck um 1,5 mmHg gesenkt.</span> &#8220;Um Patienten nicht gleich am Anfang der Behandlung zu demotivieren, sollte das Therapieziel 1 kg Gewichtsreduktion im Monat lauten&#8221;, so Dominiak. Außer der Blutdrucksenkung reduziert sich auf diese Weise auch das Risiko für eine Insulinresistenz und <a title="Ratgeber Pharmazie und Gesundheit 2009&#124;Gesund werden und gesund bleiben – Wichtige Gesundheitstipps bietet der Ratgeber auf Lifeline.de, dem Gesundheitsportal für Patienten" href="http://www.lifeline.de/cda/ratgeber_pharmazie_und_gesundheit/content-194365.html" target="_blank">Diabetes mellitus</a>, für erhöhte Blutfettwerte und eine Linksherzhypertrophie.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Verstärkt wird dieser Effekt durch regelmäßige körperliche Aktivität</span>: Täglich 20 Minuten Radfahren, Spazierengehen oder Schwimmen senke den Blutdruck um 5 mmHg, so Dominiak. Eine Reduktion des Alkoholkonsums auf 20 (Frauen) bis 30 (Männer) Gramm täglich &#8211; das entspricht etwa einem Viertelliter Wein &#8211; lässt den Blutdruck um weitere 5 mmHg purzeln. Und noch einmal 5 mmHg kommen dazu, wenn beim Essen konsequent auf zusätzliches Salzen verzichtet wird. Dominiak: &#8220;Ich bin selbst Hypertoniker: Nach einer Woche bis zwei Wochen hat man nicht mehr das Gefühl, dass Salz fehlt.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Alle Maßnahmen zusammen könnten innerhalb eines Jahr zu einer Blutdrucksenkung von 30 mmHg führen &#8211; &#8220;das schafft kein Medikament&#8221;</span>, so der Kongresspräsident. Bei Hypertonikern, die nur eine leichte Blutdruckerhöhung haben und motiviert sind, könne man zunächst versuchen, nur mit nicht-medikamentösen Maßnahmen den Blutdruck zu senken. Leider seien jedoch nur die wenigsten Patienten dazu zu bewegen, ihren Lebensstil entsprechend umzustellen, beklagte Dominiak.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<h2 style="text-align:center;">&#8220;Fettarm&#8221; ist nicht unbedingt die beste Empfehlung</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>ORLANDO</strong> (ob). Eine Ernährung mit <span style="text-decoration:underline;">moderat reduziertem Fettanteil</span> wirkt sich auf das kardiovaskuläre Risikoprofil günstiger aus als fettarme Kost. Zu diesem Ergebnis kommen Untersucher aus Seattle in einer Studie bei 64 Probanden mit Metabolischem Syndrom.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Sie erhielten vier Wochen lang eine Kost mit moderatem Fettanteil (40 Prozent Fett, 45 Prozent Kohlenhydrate, 15 Prozent Eiweiß) oder ernährten sich fettarm (20 Prozent Fett, 65 Prozent Kohlenhydrate, 15 Prozent Eiweiß). In der Wirkung auf das atherogene Lipidprofil schnitt die fettarme Kost schlechter ab: Im Vergleich zur Ernährung mit höherem Fettanteil wurden die Triglyzeride weniger stark reduziert, die LDL-Reduktion fiel deutlich geringer aus und das HDL-Cholesterin nahm stärker ab.</p>
<h2 style="text-align:center;">Obst für 36 Euro pro Kind ist vielen Bundesländern zu teuer</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Täglich Obst in die Schulen: Für ein EU-Programm müsste jedes Bundesland zwei Millionen Euro zahlen &#8211; doch einige Länder sehen sich nicht in der Lage, die Summe aufzubringen. Pädiater und Wissenschaftler kritisieren das heftig.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Von Rebecca Beerheide</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">200 bis 230 Gramm Obst und Gemüse täglich &#8211; das sehen die Verzehrempfehlungen des Forschungsinstitutes für Kinderernährung in Dortmund vor. Dass dies nicht der Realität der Ernährung der Fünf- bis Zehnjährigen in Deutschland entspricht, können Pädiater täglich in ihrer Praxis sehen. <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Die Benachteiligung von Kindern gerade aus sozial schwachen Familien beim Verzehr von Obst soll ein Schulobst-Programm der EU lindern.</span> Das Europäische Parlament und auch die EU-Agrarminister beschlossen das Projekt, das vorsieht, j<span style="text-decoration:underline;">ährlich 90 Millionen Euro für frisches Obst in den Grundschulen bereitzustellen.</span> Aus dem Topf bekommt Deutschland rund 20 Millionen Euro &#8211; wenn sich die für Bildung zuständigen Bundesländer mit dem gleichen Betrag beteiligen.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Doch danach sieht es im Moment nicht aus. Zwar hat der Bundesrat nach langem Streit im September dieses Jahres beschlossen, an dem Programm grundsätzlich teilzunehmen &#8211; <span style="text-decoration:underline;">doch einige Länder haben ihre Teilnahme inzwischen wieder abgesagt. Grund: Den Landeshaushalten fehle das Geld</span>. Nach Berechnungen der TU Dortmund kann man mit etwa 36 Euro pro Kind und Schuljahr dafür sorgen, dass es täglich Obst in der Grundschule gibt.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Deutliche Absagen gibt es aus Sachsen, Niedersachsen, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Berlin und Hessen.</span> </strong>Im hessischen Landtag gab es vergangene Woche zu dem Thema eine kontroverse Debatte. Eigentlich hatte sich die schwarz-gelbe Landesregierung dafür ausgesprochen, die CDU-Fraktion im Landtag blockiert aber die Ausgaben von 1,2 Millionen Euro pro Jahr.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Nach aktuellem Stand sind in Bayern, Baden-Württemberg und Nordrhein-Westfalen die Planungen für den Start des EU-Programms spätestens zum Schuljahresbeginn im September 2010 auf einem guten Weg. Auch Rheinland-Pfalz, das Saarland, Hamburg und Sachsen-Anhalt prüfen, ob sie in das Förderprogramm einsteigen. </span>In Brandenburg gibt es noch kein Votum, ebenso wie in Thüringen, auch Schleswig-Holstein prüft die Teilnahme. <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Bremen setzt ein eigenes Programm auf. In Bayern und Baden-Württemberg sollen Sponsoren das Obst mitfinanzieren.</span> Das Land Berlin teilte zur Absage an das Programm mit, dass es bereits die Schulverpflegung mitfinanziere. In Nordrhein-Westfalen stehe die Finanzierung bereits. Gut vier Millionen Euro stehen von Land und EU zur Verfügung.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">&#8220;Hier wird wieder bei den Schwächsten der Schwachen gespart&#8221;, sagt Dr. Ulrich Fegerle, Sprecher des Berufsverbandes der Kinder- und Jugendärzte im Gespräch mit der &#8220;Ärzte Zeitung&#8221;. Dass einige Länder das EU-Programm nun nicht umsetzen wollen, weil Geld in den Landeshaushalten dafür fehle, nennt er &#8220;schäbig&#8221;. Es sei doch eine kleine Geste besonders an die Kinder, die eine schlechte Ernährung von zu Hause erhalten. &#8220;Je älter die Kinder werden, desto weniger gelingt es ihnen, den Teufelskreis aus falscher Ernährung, mangelnder Bewegung und <a title="Ratgeber Pharmazie und Gesundheit 2010&#124;Gesund werden und gesund bleiben – Wichtige Gesundheitstipps bietet der Ratgeber auf Lifeline.de, dem Gesundheitsportal für Patienten" href="http://www.lifeline.de/cda/krankheiten_a-z/ratgeber_pharmazie_und_gesundheit/content-209928.html" target="_blank">Übergewicht</a> zu durchbrechen&#8221;, so Fegeler. <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Zwar sei das Programm nur ein &#8220;Tröpfchen auf den heißen Stein&#8221;, aber immerhin ein Anfang.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">So ein Tropfen ist zum Beispiel das<span style="text-decoration:underline;"> Pilotprojekt &#8220;Besser essen. Mehr bewegen&#8221; in Dortmund</span>. Hier wird für etwa 28 Euro pro Schuljahr und Kind<span style="text-decoration:underline;"> jeden Tag zum gemeinsamen Frühstück Obst zubereitet &#8211; und zwar von den Kindern selbst</span>. Sie schneiden die Äpfel und Möhren in mundgerechte Stücke. &#8220;Kinder essen Obst eher, wenn es bereits klein geschnitten ist&#8221;, sagt Professor Günter Eissing, Ernährungswissenschaftler an der TU Dortmund und Leiter des Projektes im Gespräch mit der &#8220;Ärzte Zeitung&#8221;. Rund 100 Gramm Obst stehen im Durchschnitt täglich bereit. Die teilnehmenden Grundschulen liegen meist in Stadtteilen, in denen sozial Schwache wohnen.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Seine Studie belegt auch, dass das gemeinsame Obstschneiden zur Gemeinschaftsbildung beiträgt. Auch steigere sich das Selbstwertgefühl der Schüler deutlich: <span style="text-decoration:underline;">&#8220;Viele wissen in der vierten Klasse bereits, dass sie die Schwächsten sind. Wenn sie merken, dass sie durch den Obstdienst etwas zur Klassengemeinschaft beitragen können, steigt das Selbstbewusstsein deutlich an&#8221;, so Eissing.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Natürlich sei das Schulobst-Programm zunächst nur ein kleiner Schritt. &#8220;Wenn die Kinder das Verhalten, Obst zu essen, habitualisieren, dann kann mit der Zeit eine Änderung der Verhältnisse eintreten&#8221;, sagt Eissing.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Entre 10% e 15% dos diabéticos são incapazes de sentir as quedas bruscas de açúcar no sangue e sofre]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Entre 10% e 15% dos diabéticos são incapazes de sentir as quedas bruscas de açúcar no sangue e sofrem hipoglicemias que podem ser graves </strong></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Se esta manhã você saiu correndo de sua casa sem ter tomado café da manhã, com uma, apenas uma recordação de um jantar feito na noite anterior, talvez a concentração de glicose em seu sangue esteja baixando enquanto lê esta reportagem.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mas não se preocupe. Seu organismo já terá colocado em andamento uma corrente de reacções fisiológicas para remediar sua negligência e evitar que seu cérebro fique sem combustível.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Alguns diabéticos que dependem de injecções de insulina, no entanto, não  desfrutam dessa protecção.<br />
São insensíveis aos avisos do organismo diante da baixa pronunciada de açúcar no sangue e, portanto, propensos a sofrer hipoglicemias graves que põem em perigo sua saúde e, inclusive, sua vida. São as conhecidas hipoglicemias assintomáticas.<br />
Se voltarmos ao corpo em jejum do leitor comum veremos que, por enquanto, as células beta de seu pâncreas vão suspender a produção de insulina para evitar que metabolize rapidamente o açúcar que ainda circula por seus vasos sanguíneos. Além do mais, as células alfa desse mesmo órgão começarão a libertar glucagom, um hormônio que extrai as reservas de glicose armazenadas no fígado em forma de glicogênio.<br />
E, por último, seu cérebro vai ordenar que libertem os hormônios do stress (adrenalina, noradrenalina, cortisol e hormônio do crescimento) para dar-lhe sinais de alarme, abrir-lhe o apetite e obrigar-lhe a tomar, ao fim, um lanche.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Se você for diabético insulinodependente a história aqui seria outra. Basicamente, seu pâncreas não poderia produzir insulina porque já não o faz há tempos. Dependeria das injecções exógenas deste hormônio, e se você se a aplicou faz uns minutos, agora nada vai poder limitar seu efeito.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Esse é o motivo pelo qual muitos diabéticos sofrem hipoglicemias com uma frequência alta. A única coisa que podem fazer é comer algo que eleve rapidamente a concentração de glicose no sangue, e o fazem normalmente alertados por uma série de sintomas (maior apetite, sudorese, tremores, nervosismo, tontura, fraqueza, etc) que se desencadeiam quando a glicose desce abaixo de 55 miligramas por decilitro de sangue (As vezes abaixo de 70 mg/dl, em certas ocasiões, os sintomas são muito evidentes e é necessário actuar) &#8220;Valores menores de 55 não podem manter a função cerebral adequadamente&#8221;, assinala Alfonso López Alva, do Serviço de Endocrinologia do Hospital Universitário de Canárias.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Alguns diabéticos, sem dúvida, são insensíveis a estes sintomas. A glicose no sangue baixa sem que nenhum sinal de  aviso perceptível se manifeste em seu corpo.Ao não serem conscientes da necessidade de identificar a incipiente hipoglicemia, estão expostos a sofrer quedas bruscas de sua concentração de açúcar e, com isso, progressivamente, mudanças no comportamento, agressividade, perda de consciência, danos irreparáveis em seu cérebro e, inclusive, a morte. As possibilidades de que isso ocorra não são poucas, ainda que existem estratégias para evita-lo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A hipoglicemia é um fenómeno muito frequente na vida dos diabéticos, especialmente naqueles que optam por seguir controle intensivo com múltiplas injecções de insulina para manter a concentração de glicose o mais próxima possível a de uma pessoa comum e assim evitar as complicações cronicas do diabetes.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img src="http://www.portaldiabetes.com.br/images/artigos/art_hipoglicemia.gif" alt="Hipoglicemia" width="160" height="188" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Alguns estudos tem assinalado que os diabéticos insulinodependentes que tem hipoglicemias constantes com valores de glicemia abaixo de 55 mg/dl, durante 10% do tempo, sofrem uma média de dois episódios de hipoglicemia sintomática por semana e um de hipoglicemia grave ao ano. De fato,  2% de mortes em diabéticos tipo 1 é atribuída à hipoglicemia.Esta frequência de baixas da concentração de açúcar é precisamente o principal factor contra os diabéticos insensíveis aos sintomas da hipoglicemia. &#8220;Quando uma pessoa está habituada a ter hipoglicemias porque as tem de maneira muito frequente, o organismo se acostuma a estar nesta situação e, então, diminuem os sintomas de alarme&#8221;, explica Alfonso López Alva, coordenador do grupo de trabalho sobre complicações na Sociedade Espanhola de Diabetes.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A solução para o paciente diabético com hipoglicemia assintomática passa por realizar com mais frequência a monitorização de glicose no sangue capilar para suprir assim a falta de sensibilidade aos sintomas típicos de baixa das concentrações de glicose no sangue.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>O fenómeno de se  habituar a hipoglicemia</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Uma investigação publicada o ano passado na revista Diabete, da Associação Americana de Diabetes, por pesquisadores do King&#8217;s College de Londres, dava uma explicação neurológica ao fenómeno de habituação dos diabéticos as frequentes hipoglicemias.Segundo este estudo, seria uma falha na resposta da amígdala e o córtex orbital frontal do cérebro diante da baixa da glicose o que poderia sugerir a existência de um fenómeno de habituação das funções de regulação da conduta que dê lugar à hipoglicemia assintomática.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">De fato, alguns estudos apoiaram esta hipótese ao demonstrar que ao conseguir evitar as hipoglicemias de forma eficaz durante duas ou três semanas, reverte-se a perda de sensibilidade aos sintomas da hipoglicemia. Mas Alfonso López Alva, da Sociedade Espanhola de Diabete, alerta que esta evidência não deve levar os pacientes a relaxar o estrito controle glicêmico para evitar as hipoglicemias porque os valores de glicemia elevadas de forma sustentada podem conduzir a &#8220;gravíssimas complicações cronicas&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Uma dessas complicações, a neuropatia diabética (dano no sistema nervoso), pode estar por trás de alguns casos de hipoglicemias assintomáticas. &#8220;A presença de uma neuropatia do sistema nervoso autónomo nas pessoas com diabetes pode diminuir as respostas orgânicas perante o stress de modo geral e a hipoglicemia em particular, piorando seus riscos e severidade&#8221;, explica López Alva.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Estes são os sintomas presentes (em maior ou menor intensidade) em todas as hipoglicemias. Podem aparecer vários ao mesmo tempo ou de maneira isolada.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">fome excessiva<br />
nervosismo  ou desequilíbrio<br />
transpiração sem motivo aparente<br />
ansiedade<br />
fraqueza, perda de coordenação<br />
tontura<br />
sonolência<br />
confusão<br />
dificuldade para falar<br />
visão turva</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://elrincondesisifo.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/images.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-568" title="images" src="http://elrincondesisifo.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/images.jpg" alt="images" width="104" height="79" /></a>El <strong>British Medical Journal</strong> ha publicado en la sección <em>Research</em> de su página web un interesante artículo titulado <a href="http://www.bmj.com/cgi/reprint/339/nov06_1/b4531" target="_blank">Aspirin for primary prevention of cardiovascular events in people with diabetes: meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials</a> que es hoy el objeto de nuestro comentario.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Metodología: </strong>El estudio es un meta-análisis de ensayos clínicos controlados que ha tenido como <span style="text-decoration:underline;">objetivo</span> evaluar los beneficios y perjuicios asociados al uso de bajas dosis de ácido acetilsalicílico (AAS) en pacientes diabéticos <strong>sin</strong> enfermedad cardiovascular previa. La búsqueda se realizó en <strong>Medline</strong> y el registro central de ensayos clínicos controlados de la <strong>Cochrane</strong> entre 1.966 y noviembre de 2.008. Se incluyeron ensayos clínicos aleatorizados, prospectivos, controlados, cegados o no, realizados con diabéticos que se asignaron a un grupo de tratamiento con AAS o a un grupo control (con un placebo o sin tratamiento) en los que se investigó la <span style="text-decoration:underline;">prevención primaria</span> de la enfermedad cardiovascular. Así mismo, los autores incluyeron los <strong>subgrupos</strong> de diabéticos reclutados en estudios realizados con población general o pacientes con un riesgo cardiovascular mixto, en los que se ensayó el AAS en esta indicación. Las variables de <strong>resultado</strong> analizadas fueron la mortalidad por cualquier causa, la muerte de origen cardiovascular y los IAM  y ACV no mortales.  Se identificaron 157 estudios relevantes que, tras aplicar los criterios de inclusión reseñados quedaron reducidos a 6 (n=10.117).  Entre las causas de exclusión de los estudios destacan la no aleatorización (n=57) y la investigación de fármacos distintos al AAS (n=66). Se tuvo en cuenta la calidad metodológica de los estudios incluidos.<!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>R</strong><strong>esultados:</strong> La calidad metodológica de los estudios <strong>no</strong> fue la deseable. Por ejemplo, sólo en 3 de los 6 estudios incluidos se describió adecuadamente cómo se ocultó la asignación a los grupos control y tratamiento y el seguimiento completo de los participantes se describió sólo en la <strong>mitad </strong>de los estudios analizados. En relación a las variables de resultado, iremos por partes:</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:justify;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Episodios cardiovasculares graves</span>: <strong>No</strong> se observó una reducción significativa con el AAS en relación al placebo o la opción de no tratar (RR 0,90 IC95% 0,81-1,00; p=0,06). Tampoco se detectó una disminución significativa del riesgo de IAM con AAS (RR 0,86; IC95% 0,61-1,21; p=0,02) ni de ACV (RR=0,83; IC95% 0,60-1,14; p=0,25).</li>
<li style="text-align:justify;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Mortalidad de origen cardiovascular</span>: <strong>No</strong> se observó una reducción de la mortalidad cardiovascular con AAS (RR=0,94; IC95% 0,72-1,23; p=0,68) en comparación con placebo o no tratamiento.</li>
<li style="text-align:justify;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Mortalidad por cualquier causa</span>: <strong>Tampoco</strong> en este caso se observó una reducción estadísticamente significativa (RR=0,93; IC95% 0,82-1,05; p=0,22).</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:justify;">En relación a la <strong>seguridad</strong>, no se detectó un incremento estadísticamente significativo del riesgo con AAS vs el grupo control en ninguna de las variables analizadas (hemorragias, hemorragia gastrointestinal, sintomatología gastrointestinal y cáncer).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Conclusiones de los autores:</strong> A la vista de los resultados anteriores, los autores <strong>no</strong> recomiendan el uso rutinario de AAS en la prevención primaria de episodios cardiovasculares en pacientes diabéticos. No obstante lo anterior, el <strong>sexo</strong> puede ser un importante factor modificador de tal manera que se detectó una reducción del riesgo de IAM en varones del 43% (RR=0,57; IC95% 0,34-0,94; p=0,03).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Comentario: </strong>No cabe la menor duda que estamos ante un importante estudio que dirige un <strong>torpedo </strong>a la línea de flotación de una de las cuestiones más polémicas en la prevención cardiovascular de los últimos años ¿podemos considerar a la diabetes un &#8220;equivalente de riesgo&#8221; coronario y por consiguiente, debemos tratar a todos los diabéticos con los mismos criterios que se utilizan para hacerlo en pacientes coronarios, incluido el tratamiento antiagregante? A estas dos cuestiones contesta el último <strong>b<span style="color:#ff0000;">i</span>t</strong> cuya lectura <a href="http://elrincondesisifo.wordpress.com/2009/11/06/tres-lecturas-para-el-fin-de-semana/">recomendábamos</a> el pasado fin de semana. Si aún no has tenido ocasión de leerlo, en relación a este meta-análisis, extractamos lo afirmado en la pág. 52 &#8220;los diabéticos tienen <strong>más riesgo</strong> coronario que los no diabéticos, pero los que han sufrido un infarto tienen<strong> más riesgo</strong> que los diabéticos, del orden de 1,8 a 2,9 veces más de infarto mortal y 3 veces no mortal, como han mostrado los estudios mejor diseñados&#8221; y en la pág. 54  &#8221;a la espera de los resultados de dos grandes ensayos clínicos en pacientes diabéticos actualmenteen desarrollo (ASCEN y ACCEPT-D), se dispone del resultado de dos ensayos recientes en diabéticos sin enfermedad cardiovascular, ambos con resultados <strong>negativos</strong> (POPADAD y JPAD). Los datos de los subgrupos de diabéticos de los ensayos en <span style="text-decoration:underline;">prevención primaria</span> han resultado contradictorios: o similar, o inferior o superior a los de los no diabéticos. Los resultados del principal meta-análisis en prevención secundaria y alto riesgo no encontró efecto en el amplio grupo de diabéticos. Como ha destacado Nicolucci en un editorial, las mismas evidencias vienen llevando a la ADA a recomendar AAS a todo diabético mayor de 40 añosy al ESC-EADJ a recomendarlo únicamente en prevención secundaria&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A la evidencia de la que disponíamos hasta ahora, se suma el meta-análisis realizado por <strong>Tognoni</strong> <em>et al</em>. quien al frente del <a href="http://www.negrisud.it/" target="_blank">Consorzio Mario Negri Sud</a> es un ejemplo de independencia en la investigación sobre fármacos, con un discurso valiente, coherente y transparente desde hace décadas. Hacemos un inciso para señalar que si alguno de los lectores no conoce al <em>viejo profesor</em>, al mismo que puso en pie de guerra con su intervención en Burgos-2006 a ese ajado sector de la Industria Farmacéutica que el sino de los tiempos se llevará por delante, recomendamos que le eche un vistazo a una de sus obras más conocidas: <a href="http://www.icf.uab.es/pem/llibre.htm">Principios de epidemiología del medicamento</a>, de la que es coautor junto al inefable <strong>Juan Ramón Laporte</strong> y que gracias a la generosidad de ambos está disponible de forma gratuita en la página web del <a href="http://www.icf.uab.es/Inicio_e.html" target="_blank">Instituto Catalán de Farmacología</a>, junto a <a href="http://www.icf.uab.es/informacion/llibres.html" target="_blank">otras publicaciones</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Decíamos que este meta-análisis se une a la evidencia más reciente y de mayor calidad de la que disponíamos hasta ahora: en prevención primaria <strong>no</strong> hay una evidencia <strong>concluyente</strong> del beneficio del AAS en este tipo de pacientes, terapia que -de todos es sabido- no está exenta de riesgos. ¿Cómo es posible que con la misma evidencia haya grupos de profesionales que formulen recomendaciones diametralmente opuestas? Se nos antoja que en esta ocasión, los miembros de la ADA han olvidado las airadas palabras de <a href="http://fhs.mcmaster.ca/ceb/faculty_member_sackett.htm" target="_blank">Sackett</a> en su célebre editorial titulado <a href="http://www.infodoctor.org/rafabravo/Sacket363.html">La arrogancia de la medicina preventiva</a> publicado en el <strong>CMAJ</strong> hace ya unos años y traducido para la ocasión por <strong>Rafa Bravo</strong>: &#8220;promocionar maniobras preventivas sin evidencia de ensayos clínicos, es estar simplemente en la dirección equivocada&#8221;. Recordamos que la evidencia actualmente disponible es exigua, de calidad mejorable y nada concluyente. Con estas mimbres y a la espera de los resultados de los ensayos clínicos en curso, lo más prudente es hacer una valoración <strong>individualizada</strong> de cada paciente e intervenir sólo en aquéllos en los que los posibles beneficios justifiquen los riesgos. Lo demás, es medicalizar al paciente de forma innecesaria y como nos recordaba Sackett, negarnos a aprender de desgraciadas experiencias previas: &#8220;los Expertos rehuyen de aprender de la historia, a no ser que la hagan ellos mismos y el precio de su arrogancia es pagada por inocentes. La medicina preventiva es demasiado importante como para dejarla en sus manos&#8221;. Sackett <em>dixit</em>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">The term <span style="color:#800000;"><strong><em>diabetes</em></strong></span>, without qualification, usually refers to <strong><span style="color:#800000;">diabetes mellitus</span></strong>, which roughly translates to excessive sweet urine. <span style="color:#800000;"><strong>Diabetes mellitus</strong></span> (sometimes called &#8220;sugar diabetes&#8221;) is a condition that occurs when the body can&#8217;t use glucose normally. Glucose is the main source of energy for the body&#8217;s cells. The levels of glucose in the blood are controlled by a hormone called insulin, which is made by the pancreas. Insulin helps glucose enter the cells. In diabetes, the pancreas does not make enough insulin (type 1 diabetes) or the body can&#8217;t respond normally to the insulin that is made (type 2 diabetes). This causes glucose levels in the blood to rise, leading to symptoms such as increased urination, extreme thirst, and unexplained weight loss.</p>

<p>Om en månad är det tre år sedan Petter fick sin diagnos och det har varit tre års helvete, det finns ju faktiskt ingenting som är positivt med att ha Diabetes!! Däremot har Petter klarat det jättebra, han gör så gott han kan, efter hans kunskaper och hans förutsättningar. Klart att man är ledsen ofta, både Petter och jag! Men vi gråter en skvätt tillsammans och sen tar vi nya tag och ger oss katten på att det ska gå bra <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Glöm inte Världsdiabetesdagen den 14 november!!</p>

<description><![CDATA[Tommy was a 16-year-old diabetic long-hair white cat with yellow-gold eyes.  I met him for the first]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Tommy was a 16-year-old diabetic long-hair white cat with yellow-gold eyes.  I met him for the first time when he stopped eating for 4 days.  When I gently pinched the skin over his shoulder blades, it stood up, and did not bounce back into a normal, flat position.  I tried the same trick over his hips; Tommy&#8217;s skin just stood up.  This is called a skin turgor test, and in this case, it meant Tommy was severely dehydrated.<!--more--></p>
<p>Many people become confused by the fact that a cat drinking tons of water can be dehydrated.</p>
<p>&#8220;But he&#8217;s drinking tons of water, Doc.  I thought that meant he was okay.&#8221;</p>
<p>Drinking the proper, usual, regular amount of water is okay.  Suddenly drinking tons of water, is very , very bad.</p>
<p>Tommy&#8217;s eyes stayed half closed, his heart rate was too fast (over 240 beats in a minute, even when one is nervous at the vet&#8217;s, is still awfully fast).  Normally, I&#8217;ll bet his kitty heart rate was around 120-150 beats per minute.  His body temperature was 99F.  What&#8217;s normal cat temperature, you say?</p>
<p>101 &#8211; 102.5 F.</p>
<p>Tommy was shutting down.  The next step was coma!</p>
<p>A quick blood sugar revealed a level of 550!  The urine had greater than 450.  Given the symptoms, and the test results, I knew Tommy had diabetes mellitus.  Most cats newly diagnosed with diabetes also have urinary tract infections.  A urine culture and sensitivity test showed Tommy did, too.</p>
<p>Tommy needed to stay in the hospital for intravenous hydration, tests, insulin, and close regulation of his body vital systems.  Money was not a severe limiting factor for Tommy&#8217;s father, so I was optimistic treatment could proceed.</p>
<p>&#8220;Doc, can I talk to you in private?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Of course, what&#8217;s on your mind?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Doc, I&#8217;m old, and my knees are shot.  My hands shake, and there&#8217;s no way I can catch him.&#8221;  <em>Uh, oh, I hope he doesn&#8217;t tell me he wants me to put Tommy down&#8230;</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Doc, it breaks my heart to say this&#8230;&#8221; <em>Oh no!  Here it comes&#8230;</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Can you help me find a good home where Tommy can live out his days.  I&#8217;ll sure miss him, but he needs better care than I can give him.&#8221;  <em>Thank goodness!!!!</em></p>
<p>I spoke with one of my nurses about the dilemma.  With a devilish twinkle in her eye, she offered, &#8220;Well, if he takes Spunky, the feline aids positive cat we need to find a home for in exchange, I will take Tommy home and nurse him back to health.  Do you mind if I tell Tommy&#8217;s dad I will do that?&#8221;</p>
<p><em>Do I mind?</em> Do I mind? Do I mind if an angel solves my problems without my own cat disowning me because I brought another one home?</p>
<p>Tommy&#8217;s dad was tickled pink.  We swapped cats.  Tommy went home with the nurse.  Mr. Tommy went home to prepare for the new cat.  He knocked his back out cleaning and arranging cat beds on the chair, sofa, and two windowsills.  A week later, he was well enough to take Spunky home.  She thought she was in kitty heaven, after her life of abandonment and living on the streets!</p>
<p>A little-known factoid about diabetes mellitus in cats: if treated aggressively enough, with the right kind of insulin, and if you are lucky, it can be cured in up to 75% of the cats!  Within three weeks, the nurse came to me with news.</p>
<p>&#8220;I haven&#8217;t given Tommy any insulin in three days, and his blood sugar is good.  He is so happy and my other cats wash him every night!&#8221;</p>
<p>Spunky stayed with Tommy&#8217;s dad until, one day, Mr. Tommy had to go to the ICU, so Spunky came back to the animal hospital.  Being such a cat-lover as he is, as soon as Mr. Tommy came back out of the hospital, we drove Spunky back to stay with him.  Spunky sleeps on Mr. Tommy&#8217;s head every night, and sheds fur all over the sofa by day.</p>
<p>My nurse checks on Spunky and Mr. Tommy every other week.  She brings cat food and sugar cookies.  Mr. Tommy&#8217;s memory is not great these days, but he always welcomes &#8220;my cookie lady&#8221; for a quick visit!  Tommy never looked back.  He poses for pictures, which Mr. Tommy enjoys.  But both boys are happy in their new situations and wouldn&#8217;t have it any other way!</p>

Researchers analyzed data derived from a cross-sectional study of&#8221; 3,280 adults ages 40 to 79.6 percent of whom had diabetes.  The investigators found not only that myopia of -0.5 diopters or worse was associated with a significant 37 percent reduced risk of <a class="zem_slink" title="Diabetic retinopathy" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_retinopathy">diabetic retinopathy</a> overall and 53 percent lower risk of moderate retinopathy compared with farsightedness, but also that every diopter decrease in spherical equivalent was linked to a 10 percent drop in overall diabetic retinopathy risk (P=0.002), a 17 percent lower risk of moderate retinopathy (P=0.001), and a 23 percent reduced risk of vision-threatening retinopathy (P&#60;0.001).</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Scientists found that fulvic acids show significant success in preventing and combating free radical damage to pancratic islet B cells, that is the widely accepted cause for diabetes mellitus. The clinical studies show that fulvic acids diminish the development and progression of diabetes, and assisted in the treatment. Diabetes patients became more energetic and the tingling, painful feeling and numbness experienced in the nerve endings disappeared or were reduced. For centuries people living in isolated villages in the Himalayas and adjoining regions have used preparations made from a rare fulvic acid containing humic substance known as Shilajit, to prevent and combat problems with diabetes. Screening for Addisons disease in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and recurrent hypoglycaemia<br />
Screening for gestational diabetes mellitus has been controversial, with some expert bodies advising universal screening, others selective screening, and yet others advising against screening at all. This has partly been a result of debate about the definition of GDM, and partly because of the profusion of different tests available, both for screening and definite diagnosis. There is no national policy on screening, and a variety of practices exist in different parts of the country.</p>

<li>Smoking</li>
<li>High cholesterol</li>
<li>Diabetes mellitus</li>
<li>Obesity</li>
<li>Sedentary life style</li>
<li>Atrial fibrillation</li>
<li>Heart disease</li>
<li>Carotid artery disease</li>
<li>Alcohol</li>
