Flexible work is the best way to keep yourself healthy. by Daniela Simkova
How would you like to work from your house? Don't you think it is possible to match your family and your work? Well, if not, you should revalue your views on this problem. Researchers form the Wake Forest University School of medicine think it is even necessary to change your work time to flexible. They say, that flexible work time can keep you healthy. You will have time for your family, for doing some sport, to make a healthier food instead of being in a rush to eat something, just anything. You can even save some of your precious time by working from your home, because you don't have to commute to work every morning. Instead of driving to work, you can drive your kids to school and that means more time spent with your sweethearts. Mr. Joseph G. Grzywacz, a professor of Wake Forest University School of Medicine says: "Perhaps it gives people the time to fit in healthier lifestyle into their everyday regimen or maybe it just enables people to better manage their time." Flexible way of work was designed for people, especially women, who want to combine their work with family. Interesting is that not only women, but also men are pleased by a flexible work. "This isn't just about high-level office workers, these people perform a wide variety of tasks within the company," said Mr. Grzywacz. Once you are happy and you don't have problems with your family, you are not stressed, which means more productive work in your occupation.

fter years of damning videogames, and arguments it just contribute to rising agressivity and has violence content, the situation has changed. The scientist discovered the videogames could help people after suffering stroke or traumatic brain injures to regain balance, coordination and body strenght. Franklin Perry, 51 year old, had s stroke about three weeks ago. Now he undergo rehabilitation at Ohio State University Medical Center's Dodd Hall Rehabilitation Hospital in Columbus because his right side is immobilized. But he is triing hard and make a progress. His rehabilitation includes of three hours daily therapy and working with video game systeme for about 30 minutes two to three times per week. Perry said the viedo games really help him,: âThis is more fun. It makes it more exciting. It gets me to work harder." Robie Winget,an occupational therapist at Dodd Hall, played with Wii and then he create idea of video game therapy: âI thought it was cool that you use your body to control the movement." Special videogames could be now prescribed by psychologist to children who have attention deficit disorder. To this home therapy is required to have special controler to the video console and helmet with built in sensors to monitoring brain activity. The program for children who have some traumatic experiences, for instance divorce of their parents is also avaliable. Special programs could help to rehabilitate soldiers injured in Afganistan or Iraq. Out of questions these project require more research and it can not replace covnentional therapy, but it is the example of changing attitude towards video games.

If you want to get rid of that pesky flu that is threatening to ruin your winter joy and keep you in bed with a high fever and a red nose, you now have the chance to actually do it. Moreover, you can even plan a trip to Alaska, while you have your vaccine; there are the nursing waiting you right before you take off. Airports in cities like Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, Newark, N.J., and San Francisco are installing health stations close to the gates, past the security checkpoints for travelers to have a flu shot just after taking off their shoes, emptying their pockets and passing through the security checkpoint. These airports already have a history in offering flu shots to airline passengers before they cleared security. However, passengers were usually too scared that they miss their plane if they stop to get vaccinated. Now, that they moved it after the security checkpoint and the fear that or being stuck in security and not making their plane is gone, travelers seem to love the idea, according to Maureen Zampella, director of nursing and general operations manager of a service that is offering flu shots at the Newark airport. Dr. Dominic Mack, chief medical officer of the service offering shots in Atlanta adds that the lack of time to go to a physician is another factor. Even if the vaccines will not have an effect right away, because it takes about two weeks for a shot to offer full protection, you can prepare yourself or when the peak flu season begins, typically after December. Because the flu shots had such an amazing success, airports will also introduce cholesterol tests and screening for high blood pressure. Dr. John Zautcke, medical director for the University of Illinois Medical Center at O'Hare confessed that business travelers love the initiative and the fact that O'Hare and Midway have vaccinated a total of about 9,500 people this year confirms his statement. Have you had your flu shot yet?

âSweets for my sweet, sugar for my honey...â by Ludmila Martinicka
Doesn't the sweet taste reminds you a Sunday morning? When you put honey on the sweet bread and drench it in the hot cocoa. The sweet taste, sweet smell and fairy tales on the TV. Or the winter time, when it snows behind the window and inside it is so nice warm, with a tea sweetened by honey in your hands. Sweetening life is not the only use of honey. Although, for me, it would be enough. There are many kinds and varieties of honey. Depends on the honey bees. Each bee product has unique taste, aroma and colour from the particular flower or tree. We can use it in the kitchen for cooking, some people says, it is more healthy than sugar. Also scientists concede, that there is something healing in the honey. It can work by coating and soothing an irritated throat. National Honey Board, which is industry-funded agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, financed a resource about it and according to research, honey works best. Moreover, health advisers warn before giving cough medicine to children under the age of 6. For them honey would be better solution. On the other hand, be careful about giving honey to babies under age 1, as it could cause rare but serious illness. Honey can be found also in cosmetics. It can set at rest skin irritation, heal small wounds and soften the skin. It is often used as an ingredient of the face masks, shower gels, creams... Don't forget about other uses and bee products. Candles made of bee wax are nice decoration, and honey candies could confirm the chilling atmosphere. Now you can start sing...sweets for my sweet... It is not the one of the new commercial songs, belongs to golden oldies. Golden as honey and old as medicine of your grandmas.

Mens sana in corpore sano says a Latin proverb revealing that mind and body are connected and in order to have a healthy mind you must have a healthy body. Until now nothing new, it's a cliché used by many sports people. However, it has become a scientific matter after a study published in the journal Nature Medicine on Sunday. For the new study researchers have used a tool called microarray that examined the effect of exercise on gene activity in the brains of mice. The brain area targeted was the hippocampus, which has been implicated in mood regulation and in the brain's response to antidepressant medication. As a result the mice that worked out on a running wheel for a week showed altered activity in a total of 33 genes, the majority of which had never been identified before. The exercise increased the activity especially of a nerve growth factor known as VGF and when a synthetic version of it was introduced in the brains of mice, a "robust antidepressant effect" was produced to animals placed in stressful situations. Senior researcher Dr. Ronald S. Duman of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, stated to Reuters Health that the results can significantly improve the development of novel therapeutic agents and also reflect a direct effect of exercise on nerve cells in the hippocampus, or more general changes in the brain, like better blood flow or increased hormonal activity. All in all, exercise seems to increase the production of naturally occurring brain chemical with antidepressant effects and the new study offers new means to treat depression in people. Furthermore, due to the study VGF became a target for new antidepressants, according to Duman and his colleagues. Don't go away, medicine has more to reveal.

Health is an important issue and there are many studies made to discover diseases' causes, cures, vaccines and treatments. Technology is a useful tool, helping in a better and more detailed research. On Sunday there was a study released that revealed an easier way of analyzing cancer by using a nano-scale tool that distinguishes soft cancerous cells from stiffer normal ones. Published in the British journal Nature Nanotechnology, the study is the work of a team of scientists who by the help of an atomic microscope showed for the first time that the surface of living cancer cells were more than 70 percent softer than their healthy counterparts, this being useful to measure difference in elasticity held true across lung, breast and pancreatic cancers, and could provide a powerful means of detecting malignant cells that might otherwise escape notice. At the University of California in Los Angeles, a team of researchers led by James Gimzewski made the research on body fluid from suspected cancer patients with an atomic microscope that is rather pressuring individual cells with a sharp probe attached to a mechanical arm than providing a magnified view. The result was that malignant cells were four times as soft as normal tissue across all three types of cancer examined and that they can be identified after its shape, according to Gimzewski, because a normal cell gone malignant suffers both a shape and skeleton change. In fact the softness offers the opportunity to spread easier through the body. By comparison to other types of test like analyzing surgically-removed tissue by placing stained, thinly-sliced sections on a glass slide and looking at them under a microscope for signs of the disease or using antibodies to pinpoint certain proteins is faster, but not as accurate, says MIT scientist Subra Suresh in a commentary. Furthermore, test need to be performed in order to see how the existence of other diseases might affect the tests results. Don't go awayâ¦.more to come!

When the children are vulnerable by Natalia Holvova
The most vulnerable human beings in the world are children. That is the reason we treat them differently, establish documents for special children rights and make the laws that make children lives easier. Children are very dependent and so they need someone bigger to protect them, they need adults to feel safe and wanted! When we become parents we get different quality of responsibility. We are not responsible only for ourselves anymore. There are other smaller persons we are responsible for; we need to guarantee their happiness and well-being. When our children are sick we get crazy and we would do anything to make them feel better and prevent them from any suffering and discomfort. When our children are sick we would bring stars from the sky if that would help them. We would give them our own health and bear the brunt of our increased. That is happening inside of the parents who have children suffering from liver disabilities or diseases. There is no way how to live without livers! If under any circumstances both of them stop working, people are not able to survive. This kind of health problems are very serious and traditional way of solving is liver transplantation. Problem is the list of people waiting for suitable donor is too long and specially for children whose immunity system is not strong enough to wait for ages. There is a method of partial transplantation that can help but it is still very risky and takes half time longer than traditional transplantation. Only few people undergo this unusual measure and the results seem to be very good so far. There is always question of responsibility though. Is it responsible to risk our child life by doing risky procedures or is it better not to do anything and pray for faster move forward in the list of expectant?
