They suggest its identification could lead to new ways of fighting obesity and heart disease, and to the creation of improved fat replacements.</p><p>"Our experiments provide a missing element in the evidence hat fat has a taste sensation, and hat it is different from other astes," says professor Richard Mattes, director of the Ingestive Behaviour Research Centre at Purdue University in Indiana, United States.</p><p>"Identifying the taste of fat has a range of important health implications. At high concentrations, the signal it generates would dissuade the eating of rancid foods," he adds.</p><p>"But at low levels, it may enhance the appeal of some foods by adding to the overall sensory profile, in the same way that bitterness alone is unpleasant but at appropriate levels adds to the appeal of wine and chocolate."</p><p>Current fat replacements may have been less successful than was hoped because they mimic the texture of fat, but not the taste, says the professor.</p><p>Our food choices are often based on memories of how we felt after eating an item, but the taste of fat may contribute to those associations, he adds.</p><p>There has been a consistent recognition over the centuries of four primary taste qualities -sweet, sour, bitter and salty .Umami, referring to a meaty or savoury taste and first reported in 1908, has increasingly been accepted as a fifth basic taste.</p><p>In the new study , reported in the journal Chemical Senses, the researchers investigated the taste sensation of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), or free fatty acids, which are fat's basic building blocks.</p><p>In two experiments, volunteers wearing nose clips were asked to sample a range of different taste qualities, including non-esterified fatty acids, and sort them into groups of similar qualities.</p><p>The texture of each of the samples was manipulated to be the same, so the only difference was taste. Results show that the men and women identified fat as having a taste, different from all the other samples. "Many people described it as bitter or irritating and consistently unpalatable," says professor Mattes."The research is difficult because we do not have a widely agreed-upon word to describe the sensation."</p></div><div id="divArticleImagetag"><div class=""><a href="http://epaperbeta.timesofindia.com/Article.aspx?eid=31804&articlexml=Discovery-of-taste-of-fat-may-help-fight-21072015017019#"><img id="txtimg" src="http://epaperbeta.timesofindia.com/NasData//PUBLICATIONS/THETIMESOFINDIA/MUMBAI/2015/07/21/Photographs/017/21_07_2015_017_019_011.jpg" title="Click To Enlarge"></a><br></div><br></div><div id="divBL" style="float:right"><div></div></div><div id="divBR" style="float:left"><div></div></div></div><br><div id="WISESTAMP_SIG_62e857301123a912a5749037052dc8e6" href="http://WISESTAMP_SIG_62e857301123a912a5749037052dc8e6"><div><div style="max-width:600px;direction:ltr" class=""> <div class="" id="l1" width="470"> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="470"> <tbody><tr> <td colspan="2" style="border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-color:rgb(221,75,57);text-align:initial;color:rgb(58,54,55);margin-bottom:10px;padding:4px"> <i class="" style="font-weight:bold;font-size:15px;font-family:Verdana">Akbar Badruddin Jiwani</i> <span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:12px;color:rgb(108,105,106);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"> </span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="text-align:initial;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:10pt;line-height:normal;font-family:Verdana;color:rgb(58,54,55);padding-top:5px" valign="top"> <span style="font-size:13px">Mobile: <a href="tel:09323500008" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(80,80,80);text-decoration:none;font-size:13px"><i>09323500008</i></a></span><br> <span style="font-size:13px">Email: <a style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(52,52,52);font-size:13px" target="_blank" href="mailto:abjiwani@gmail.com"><i>abjiwani@gmail.com</i></a></span><br> <span style="font-size:13px">Website: <a style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(52,52,52);font-size:13px" target="_blank" href="http://bhanudevelopers.blogspot.com"><i>bhanudevelopers.blogspot.com</i></a></span><br> </td> <td valign="top" width="65" style="padding-top:5px;text-align:center"> <img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/webapp.wisestamp.com/HyhXyS46SNNsOQYGCpsF_104387576294993.png#logo" width="65" height=" " style="max-width: 250px;

Here's a look at some steps taken by people and NGOs who've won a Social Impact Award</div><div id="divArticleContent">Building trust and boosting tribal development<p>Bangalore: Thirty-four years ago, some doctors and activists trekked deep into the forests of Karnataka's BR Hills in Yelandur Taluk, 180km from Bangalore, to reach medical help to tribal set tlements.</p><p>They found only old people and leprosy-affected children. The rest had fled in fear of the disease. The team led by Dr Sudarshan stayed back and ensured the tribals overcame their fear and approached them for help. This formed the genesis of Karuna Trust, winner of the TOI Social Impact Awards for 2012. Today , the trust has transformed foul-smelling primary health centres (PHCs) into pleasant facilities."It implemented a PPP model leveraging government investment in public health infrastructure complementing it with a not-for-profit, competent management team," said Sudarshan, honorary secretary of the trust. As many as 13 Karuna Trust managed PHCs in Karnataka were granted ISO 9001:2008 certification.</p><p>Innovations like repositioning of family planning, distributing birthing kits and baby warmers helped reduce maternal and infant deaths. Sudarshan says "the challenges and changing dynamics in the sector have made us stronger and helped us stay grounded."</p><p>Sudarshan launched Vivekananda Girijana Kalyana Kendra (VGKK), a movement for integrated tribal development. An eight-bed hospital was started in BR Hills. Realizing that healthcare alone was not enough, VGKK formed the Karuna Trust in 1986 to provide education and help marginalized people. TNN</p><p>Boon of flood-proof handpumps</p><p>Bahraich: Every year, floods put people here to the test. They struggle for food and water. Food packets are para-dropped as the Ghaghra burst its banks. But safe drinking water is a challenge easier met because of flood-proof hand pumps installed at many places in the district.</p><p>These are normal pumps installed in 2010-11 by the local administration on concrete by the local administration on concrete platforms using NREGA funds. The 2.5-3.75-metre platforms ensure the hand-pumps don't go under water easily. This serves two purposes -guaran tee safe drinking water and serve as permanent structures that help people find a place to toehold when everything else floats.</p><p>Former DM Rigzin Sampleal led the project that proved effective in the 2011 floods and thereafter. It bagged the 2011 TOI Social Impact Award. Ghaghra's fury engulfed the city this year too. Once again, the hand-pumps came in handy .A visit to marooned Gangapurva village in Mahasi tehsil proved the point. Of its 10 flood-proof hand-pumps, seven were working.</p><p>"This year flood water swelled to over two meters in places. One hand-pump went under.Two others were partially inundated. The rest seven worked as usual," said Ghan Shyam, subdivisional magistrate, Mahasi. Some of these 1,000 hand-pumps were installed in villages along motorable roads. People in the interior villages waded through the submerged link roads to fetch safe drinking water.</p><p>"Team work helped. A villager sug gested the idea, which the administra tion implemented with help from headmen and officers," says Sampheal, now posted as special secretary to UP CM Akhilesh Yadav .</p><p>The Elevated Flood-Proof Bahraich Model hand-pumps are installed two to four meters above ground. When the river breaches, people come on boats to fetch water from these pumps.Today , it's recommended by the National Disaster Management Authority and replicated by several districts on pilot basis. TNN</p><p>The silent observer that helped save many a girl child</p><p>Kolhapur: In June, Kolhapur's sex ratio crossed 900, an adverse number that a unique technological initiative, painstakingly implemented, corrected in five years.</p><p>In 2008, then Kolhapur collector Laxmikant Deshmukh got ultrasound machines in the city to fix a device that recorded sonography images and linked them to an online portal, `save the baby girl'. An awareness drive was launched, doctors asked to fill in details of each pregnancy case they received.Within three years, the drive instilled fear among families wanting to check a fetus's sex.In 2011, Deshmukh won the TOI Social Impact award for the initiative. Two years later, the state scrapped the model, and asked doctors to file online details on sonography machine use. By then, the award had given the model national recognition, which encouraged the city's medical fraternity to embrace it.</p><p>"The award boosted the morale of the administration and those in the project. Other states approached the Kolhapur administration for details and implemented it," says Deshmukh. The silent observer model was replicated in Rajasthan, Goa, MP and it got implemented in 200 districts across the country . Kolhapur's medical fraternity still uses it, despite annual maintenance cost ranging between Rs 2 lakh and Rs 3 lakh. "Kolhapur had become notorious after the 2001 Census, when sex ratio dropped to 829. The silent observer device changed everything," said Ajit Patil, senior Kolhapur gynaecologist. TNN</p><p>Changing the face of ambulance services</p><p>When it bagged the TOI Social Impact award in 2012, Ziqitza was already a superstar in the country's emergency medical aid sector.Its ambulance services operated locally in Bihar, Rajasthan, Punjab and Orissa. Mobile medical units brought healthcare to the less accessible regions of J&K, Kerala and Jharkhand, working with states and corporate entities. Ambulances were equipped with life support, paramedics, resuscitation kits, oxygen cylinders and defibrillators. Free clinics, staffed by a medical team, conducted awareness programmes. Two years on, 1,200 Zi qitza ambulances operate across 18 states, providing medical care to about "3.2 million, delivering over 8,000 babies on board", says co-founder and CEO Sweta Mangal.The organization continues to grow.</p><p>"When we started in 2004, the (ambulance) industry didn't exist," says Mangal. "We were one of a few organized players." The team, which included her, Shaffi Mather, Naresh Jain, Ravi Krishna and Manish Sancheti, worked closely with the government to ensure standards were established. "Earlier, anybody could buy a vehicle, put a stretcher inside and call themselves an ambulance service." There was no accredited course for paramedics, and dialling 102 (ambulance service number) often connected you to the cremation grounds. TNN Its services proved invaluable when Cyclone Phailin hit Orissa last year. Ambulances transported the injured and also food. "Everything else was shut but we were on high alert. A baby was born in an ambulance, he was named Phailin," recalls Mangal. The organisation made it to the Limca Book of Records last year, for their free, first-aid responder training workshops. Over 5,000 participants were trained in a year, across school and colleges in Punjab.

ACC is a not-forprofit medical association th at works out guidelines for cardiac treatment which are invariably followed globally.</p><p>The ongoing study provided data of 85,295 patients who clocked 2.11 lakh visits to out-patient departments of 15 hospitals from Mumbai to Patna over the last 26 months.Of these patients--from both urban centres and rural areas--60,836 were found to have heart disease.</p><p>"In capturing all-India data, this is one of the most scientific studies,'' said Dr Prafulla Kerkar, the head of Parel's KEM Hospital's cardiology department. He is also the chairperson of ACC's Pin nacle registry's India Quality Improvement Programme.</p><p>In the backdrop of World Heart Day on Monday , the ACC data underlines that the average age of a heart patient in India is 52 years. "If one looks at ACC's American registry , the average age is much higher in the sixties.Clearly , Indians get hit with heart disease much earlier,'' said Dr Ganesh Kumar, cardiologist at Hiranandani Hospital in Powai and vicechairperson of the study .</p><p>The ACC study , for the first time, shows how badly diabetes affects the Indian heart. It provides the breakup of the 13,077 patients with diabetes who visited the 15 centres a total of 35,441 times. Here, we found a doubling of the diseases. For instance, 32% of the diabetic patients had narrowed arteries or coronary artery disease. Almost 10% of them had heart failure and 70% had hypertension. The corresponding numbers for non-diabetic patients are half,'' said Dr Kumar.</p><p>He said the actual number of diabetic patients with heart complications would run into millions."The amount of time and money lost due to treatment would not only be high for a particular family, but it would translate into a huge economic burden for the country as well.

In a bid to draw out `silent' patients who delay getting a diagnosis, medical vouchers for free medicines and diagnostic tests are being made available.<p> In a project funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and implemented by international NGO PATH, patients with cough living in slums or poor localities will get the voucher to gently prod them to undergo an X-ray .The programme, called the Private Provider Interface Agency (PPIA), will focus on the 12 wards identified as highrisk for TB and cover almost 9 million people.</p> <p>"During our interactions with doctors, we found they are reluctant to mention TB to patients on their first visit and choose instead to write out antibiotics for their persistent cough," said Dr Arun Bamne, who is a consultant with the BMC for the TB control programme. The patient feels better because the antibiotics check the tuberculosis for some time, but the problem invariably returns, at times in a potent form.</p> <p>The PPIA programme will try to break this cycle, said PATH project director Dr Shibu Vijayan. "The vouchers, which are being used in the Indian public health sphere for the first time, will act as an incentive," said Dr Vijayan, adding that the same programme is being implemented in Mehsana, Gujarat, and in Patna, Bihar. In Mumbai, the aim is to draw 20,000 more patients into the programme by 2017.</p> <p>The city received the first booster dose for TB control in 2012 when reports of totally drug-resistant TB cases cropped up for the first time.The Union government immediately released special funds, granted hi-tech infrastructure and drew up a special plan for Mumbai. As a result, detection rates soared, with the number of drug-resistant cases climbing to almost 3,700 in the last two years.</p> <p>"Despite the best effort and services, the public health system at best draws 50-60% of the targeted population. There is a huge population that prefers the private sector," said BMC's TB officer Dr Minni Khetrapal. As the private sector doesn't follow standard protocols, it is feared not all patients get equal or right treatment."Using programmes such as the PPIA, we want to be able to cover 100% of the population," added the doctor.</p> <p>To start with, the pro gramme has identified 40 small and medium hospitals where the voucher can be used. "Patients who go to informal doctors with complaint of cough will be sent for a free X-ray at the nearest hub hospital we have identified," said Dr Vijayan. If the X-ray shows worrisome signs, the patient will be sent for a subsidized GeneXpert scan, costing barely Rs 500 as against the Rs 1,500 in other labs.</p> <p>"If the GeneXpert test shows the patient has normal TB, he can use the voucher to buy free medicines for up to six months from a chemist," said Dr Bamne. If the GeneXpert shows the patient has drugresistant TB, he will be inducted into the BMC-run free treatment programme. The BMC gets medicines, costing Rs 2-5 lakh for each patient, from the Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme.</p> </div></div></div> <div class="blogger-post-footer">A place to get free information on how to maintain a good healthy life.

The liver detoxifies and cleanses our bodies by continuously filtering the blood of poisons that enter it through the digestive tract, the skin, and the respiratory system. But when your liver becomes overworked as a result of stress or excessive exposure to toxins, your entire system can be thrown off balance, and your health severely compromised.

Not only does it smell fresh and zingy but it has been shown that the liver will produce more healthy enzymes in processing water with lemon than any other food tested. (i)<br style> <span style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;outline:0px;font-style:inherit;font-family:inherit;vertical-align:baseline">2.

Interesting.......<br> Something else I didn't know ... I asked my Doctor why people need to urinate so much at night time. Answer from my Cardiac Doctor - Gravity holds water in the lower part of your body when you are upright (legs swell). When you lie down and the lower body (legs and etc) seeks level with the kidneys, it is then that the kidneys remove the water because it is easier. This then ties in with the last statement!<br> I knew you need your minimum water to help flush the toxins out of your body, but this was news to me. Correct time to drink water...<br>Very Important. From A Cardiac Specialist!<br>Drinking water at a certain time maximizes its effectiveness on the body<br> 2 glasses of water after waking up - helps activate internal organs<br>1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion<br>1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure<br>1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or heart attack<br> I can also add to this... My Physician told me that water at bed time will also help prevent night time leg cramps. Your leg muscles are seeking hydration when they cramp and wake you up with a Charlie Horse.<br>Mayo Clinic Aspirin Dr. Virend Somers, is a Cardiologist from the Mayo Clinic, who is lead author of the report in the July 29, 2008 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.<br> Most heart attacks occur in the day, generally between 6 A.M. and noon. Having one during the night, when the heart should be most at rest, means that something unusual happened. Somers and his colleagues have been working for a decade to show that sleep apnea is to blame.<br> 1. If you take an aspirin or a baby aspirin once a day, take it at night.<br>The reason: Aspirin has a 24-hour "half-life"; therefore, if most heart attacks happen in the wee hours of the morning, the Aspirin would be strongest in your system.<br> 2. FYI, Aspirin lasts a really long time in your medicine chest, for years, (when it gets old, it smells like vinegar).<br>Please read on...<br>Something that we can do to help ourselves - nice to know. Bayer is making crystal aspirin to dissolve instantly on the tongue.<br> They work much faster than the tablets.<br>Why keep Aspirin by your bedside? It's about Heart Attacks.<br>There are other symptoms of a heart attack, besides the pain on the left arm. One must also be aware of an intense pain on the chin, as well as nausea and lots of sweating; however, these symptoms may also occur less frequently.<br> Note: There may be NO pain in the chest during a heart attack.<br>The majority of people (about 60%) who had a heart attack during their sleep did not wake up. However, if it occurs, the chest pain may wake you up from your deep sleep.<br> If that happens, immediately dissolve two aspirins in your mouth and swallow them with a bit of water.<br>Afterwards: - Call 911. - Phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by.- Say "heart attack!" - Say that you have taken 2 Aspirins.<br> Take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for their arrival and ...DO NOT LIE DOWN!<br>A Cardiologist has stated that if each person after receiving this e-mail, sends it to 10 people, probably one life could be saved!<br> I have already shared this information. What about you?<br>Do forward this message.

The final conclusion was that in 2010 alone, around 1.65 million across the world suffered fatal heart problems aggravated by their high sodium intake.</p> <p>To arrive at the conclusion, the study--funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation--analyzed existing data from 205 surveys of sodium intake in 66 countries. The effects of sodium on blood pressure and of blood pressure on cardiovascular diseases were determined separately . The researchers then combined these findings with the current rates of cardiovascular diseases around 187 countries to estimate the number of cardiovascular deaths attributable to sodium consumption above 2gm per day .</p> <p>"This important study reiterates that excess salt intake is equivalent to tobacco intake in terms of human disease and death. India ranks high on the list of countries with excess salt intake and resultant cardiovascular disease and deaths," said senior Delhi-based endocrinologist Dr Anoop Misra. He felt that a reduction in salt intake is not possible without legal restrictions and policy changes. "Salt restriction should be at the top of health policy planning to contain hypertension and heart disease," he added.</p> <p>The INDIAB study on the prevalence of diabetes and hypertension in India published two weeks ago found that Indians have a "salt-preponderance". "We crave salt. We not only reach for packed namkeen stuff and dishes high on salt, we also take hidden salt in pickles, papads, etc," said Joshi.</p> <p>The explosion of hypertension in the country is higher than diabetes.<br>"The number of Indians suffering stroke is rising. One of the causes is our high salt intake," said Joshi.</p><p>The NEJM study found that four out of five global deaths attributable to higher than recommended sodium intakes occurred in middleand low-income countries. The research team also said the 1.65 million deaths meant that nearly one in 10 of all deaths from cardiovascular causes worldwide was due to higher salt ingestion. It concluded that strong policies are needed to reduce dietary sodium across the world.</p> <p>Maha On Sodium High The INDIAB study of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) released data last fortnight, showing the mean salt intake in urban areas was significantly higher than that in the rural areas (7.6gm per day against 6.8gm per day).</p> <p>The mean salt intake was highest in Chandigarh (8.3gm per day), followed by Maharashtra (7.2gm per day), Tamil Nadu (6.8gm per day) and Jharkhand (5.9gm per day).</p></div><div id="divArticleImagetag"><div class=""><a href="http://epaperbeta.timesofindia.com/Article.aspx?eid=31804&articlexml=Indians-craving-for-salt-leading-to-a-rising-15082014002012#"><img id="txtimg" src="http://epaperbeta.timesofindia.com/NasData//PUBLICATIONS/THETIMESOFINDIA/MUMBAI/2014/08/15/Photographs/002/15_08_2014_002_012_007.jpg" title="Click To Enlarge"></a><br> </div><br></div><div id="divBL" style="float:right"><div></div></div><div id="divBR" style="float:left"><div></div></div></div><div id="divEmailsAndUrls" class="" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:11px"> <br></div><div id="divDiscussions" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:11px"></div></div> <div class="blogger-post-footer">A place to get free information on how to maintain a good healthy life.

Even dentists disagree<div dir="ltr"><div id="divArtBody" style="line-height:1.8em;text-indent:1.8em;text-align:justify;padding-right:15px;font-size:14px"><div id="divTL" style="float:left"><br><div></div></div><div id="divTR" style="float:right"> <div></div></div><div id="divArticleBlurb" style="font-weight:bold"></div><div id="divArticleContent">Brushing our teeth — we all do it, once in the morning, once before bedtime. And we all think we know the best technique.<p> However, it would seem that after all we don't and, more worryingly, neither do our dentists nor do the people who make our toothbrushes.</p><p></p><p>A new study, by dental experts at University College London, has condemned "unacceptably inconsistent" advice from national dental associations, manufacturers and dentists themselves on the simple matter of brushing teeth.</p> <p>Across 10 countries, researchers identified no fewer than six basic methods of brushing, and a variety of advice on the important aspects of dental hygiene: how often to brush, how long to brush for, technique and ways of rinsing.</p> <p></p><p>The authors said there appeared to be "no consensus among professional bodies on the best method of toothbrushing for the general population or for people of different ages or with particular dental conditions. Such diversity in recommendations should be of serious concern to the dental profession".</p> <p></p><p>Dr Nigel Carter of the British Dental Health Foundation admitted that experts "struggle" over toothbrushing recommendations. "When you actually look at the science there is no clear evidence around what method might be best, and the recommendations on toothbrushing intervals also vary hugely around the world," he said.</p> <p>In the UK for instance, widely followed advice says to brush for two minutes twice a day. But many countries recommend three minutes, while most South American countries advise brushing for one minute, three times a day.</p> <p></p><p>"I think the toothbrush manufacturers have been guilty of not doing as much research as they might," said Dr Carter. "Hopefully what [the UCL study] will do will focus some scientists on doing some more robust research on both the various techniques of brushing and the brushing intervals."</p> <p>The most-commonly recommended method is known as the modified bass -which involves horizontal brush movements, accompanied by vertical and sweeping motions to create circles. However, no large studies have been carried out to determine whether it is really more effective than other simpler methods — including the most basic scrub technique taught to children.</p> <p>Dr John Wainwright, the study's lead author and a practising dentist, said that he often encountered patients concerned that his recommendations differed to what previous dentists had told them.</p><p></p><p>"What I feel we need is better research into what the easiest to learn, most effective and safest way to brush is," he said.</p> <p></p><p>"The current situation where not just individual dentists, but different dental organisations worldwide are all issuing different brushing guidelines isn't just confusing — it's undermining faith and trust in the profession as a whole. For something most people do twice a day, you would expect dentists to send a clearer, more unified message t o t h e i r p a t i e n t s o n how to brush their teeth."</p> <p></p></div><div id="divArticleImagetag"><div class="" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><a href="http://epaperbeta.timesofindia.com/Article.aspx?eid=31804&articlexml=Best-way-to-brush-Even-dentists-disagree-10082014015023#"><img id="txtimg" src="http://epaperbeta.timesofindia.com/NasData//PUBLICATIONS/THETIMESOFINDIA/MUMBAI/2014/08/10/Photographs/015/10_08_2014_015_023_008.jpg" title="Click To Enlarge"></a><br> </div><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"></div></div></div> <div class="blogger-post-footer">A place to get free information on how to maintain a good healthy life.

"The insurance company adopted (an) unfair trade practice," said the South Mumbai District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, while directing the firm to pay Worli-based Jyoti Raut the insurance amount of Rs 39,439 along with compensation of Rs 12,000.</p> <p></p><p>Raut was admitted in hospital on February 9, 2010, after she had a fall. When she was discharged the next day, Raut informed the insurer about the fall and the need for hospitalization and requested it for a claim form.

This point was iterated in letters on March 9, 2010, and March 7, 2011.</p> <p></p><p>On April 25, 2011, Raut sent a letter claiming expenses incurred on the treatment that continued till March 31, 2011.</p><p></p><p>Two months later, however, the company repudiated the claim on the ground that the papers were not submitted within 30 days from the completion of the hospital treatment.</p> <p>Raut lodged many protests with the insurer but when they were ignored she filed a complaint before the forum on July 11, 2012. The insurer, in response, argued there was no evidence to prove her continuous treatment till March 2011. "The last receipt of the doctor's clinic is dated September 9, 2010.

It surpassed even the 1,454.5mm recorded in July 2005, which included the downpour of 26/7. Moreover, rainfall received on July 30-31 in catchment areas has increased the city's water stock by 1.2 lakh million litres.<p> The low rainfall in June this year had become a matter of concern but it gathered pace in July. Rainfall in Santa Cruz since June 1 this year is 1,556mm, of which only 87.3mm was received in June.</p><p>V K Rajeev , director, Regional Meteorological Centre, Mumbai, said weather systems being different every year, rainfall could vary during the four monsoon months. "There are variations in systems and the distribution of rainfall varies every year. Currently , there is a low pressure trough, which is moving inwards and we have issued a forecast of heavy rainfall over the next 48 hours. This year the maximum quantum of rainfall so far was received in July," he said, denying rumors of a `cloudburst' which were doing the rounds on social media.</p> <p>In the past decade, rainfall higher than 1,400mm was received only in 2005, which was the year of the deluge that sank several parts of the city. The excess rainfall so far in case of Colaba and Santa Cruz is 120.3mm and 197mm respectively . While Colaba has already received 68.7% of the season's required average so far, Santa Cruz received 69.7%.</p> <p>The good news also continued in catchment areas and there was a 100% rise in water stocks in a week. While on July 25 water stock in catchment areas was 3.3 lakh million litres, on July 31, it rose to 8 lakh million litres. Vihar and Tansa, which supply a combined 11% of water to the city , are just two metres below the overflow level whereas Upper Vaitarna is 3.5 metres off. BMC on Thursday halved water cuts to 10% and may lift it completely if good rain persists.</p> <p>2 drowning deaths in city</p><p>Two separate cases of drowning were reported in the city on Thursday. A teenager, Rafiq Shah (17), drowned in the sea at Versova behind Sagar Kutir building, Yari Road, around 2.30pm. He had gone for a swim with his friends.<br> In the other case, Khalid Ansari (30) of Bhiwandi drowned in Nadi Naka river. He had gone for a swim after seeing the river overflow. Fire brigade officials could not trace either Shah or Ansari's bodies till late in the night.</p> <p>Downpour hits highways</p><p>Heavy rain on Thursday afternoon caused a major crack on the Mumbai-Nashik highway at the new Kasara Ghat. One side of the highway, towards Mumbai, was blocked. The crack was a foot wide and three feet deep and just next to a 150-metre-deep valley. Later, National Highway 222 was cut off between Kalyan and Titwala after Rayta bridge connecting both submerged.<br> Waldhuni river in Kalyan and Nadi Naka river in Bhiwandi, too, overflowed. A total of 200 families living close to Waldhuni river were shifted. In Bhiwandi, in the absence of civic facilities, around 2,000 people are forced to live in 3-foot water.</p> </div><div id="divArticleImagetag"><div class=""><a href="http://epaperbeta.timesofindia.com/Article.aspx?eid=31804&articlexml=Days-rain-gives-city-over-a-months-water-01082014002016#"><img id="txtimg" src="http://epaperbeta.timesofindia.com/NasData//PUBLICATIONS/THETIMESOFINDIA/MUMBAI/2014/08/01/Photographs/002/01_08_2014_002_016_008.jpg" title="Click To Enlarge"></a><br> </div><br><div class=""><a href="http://epaperbeta.timesofindia.com/Article.aspx?eid=31804&articlexml=Days-rain-gives-city-over-a-months-water-01082014002016#"><img id="txtimg" src="http://epaperbeta.timesofindia.com/NasData//PUBLICATIONS/THETIMESOFINDIA/MUMBAI/2014/08/01/Photographs/002/01_08_2014_002_016_013.jpg" title="Click To Enlarge"></a><br> </div><br><div class=""><a href="http://epaperbeta.timesofindia.com/Article.aspx?eid=31804&articlexml=Days-rain-gives-city-over-a-months-water-01082014002016#"><img id="txtimg" src="http://epaperbeta.timesofindia.com/NasData//PUBLICATIONS/THETIMESOFINDIA/MUMBAI/2014/08/01/Photographs/002/01_08_2014_002_016_014.jpg" title="Click To Enlarge"></a><br> </div><br></div><div id="divBL" style="float:right"><div></div></div><div id="divBR" style="float:left"><div></div></div><div><br></div></div></div> <div class="blogger-post-footer">A place to get free information on how to maintain a good healthy life.

Cells use the reactive oxygen particles to their advantage before they can do any damage," said doctoral researcher Wouter De Haes.</p> <p>"Metformin causes a slight increase in the number of harmful oxygen molecules.

The work could soon be used to repair teeth in humans</b></p> </div><div id="divArticleContent">A team was the first to demonstrate the ability to use low-power light to trigger stem cells inside the body to regenerate tissue, an advance they reported in Science Translational Medicine. The research, led by Wyss Institute Core Faculty member David Mooney lays the foundation for a host of clinical applications in restorative dentistry and regenerative medicine more broadly, such as wound healing, bone regeneration, and more.<p> The team used a low-power laser to trigger human dental stem cells to form dentin, the hard tissue that is similar to bone and makes up the bulk of teeth.<br>What's more, they outlined the precise molecular mechanism involved, and demonstrated its prowess using multiple laboratory and animal models.</p> <p>A number of biologically active molecules, such as regulatory proteins called growth factors, can trigger stem cells to differentiate into different cell types. Current regeneration efforts require scientists to isolate stem cells from the body, manipulate them in a laboratory, and return them to the body efforts that face a host of regulatory and technical hurdles to their clinical translation. But Mooney's approach is different and, he hopes, easier to get into the hands of practicing clinicians.</p> <p>"Our treatment modality does not introduce anything new to the body, and lasers are routinely used in medi cine and dentistry, so the barriers to clinical translation are low," said Mooney. "It would be a substantial advance in the field if we can regenerate teeth rather than replace them."</p> <p>RAT DENTISTRY The team first turned to lead author and dentist Praveen Arany. At the time of the research, he was a Harvard graduate student. Arany took rodents to the laboratory version of a dentist's office to drill holes in their molars, treat the tooth pulp that contains adult dental stem cells with low-dose laser treatments, applied temporary caps, and kept the animals comfortable and healthy. After about 12 weeks, high-resolution x-ray imaging and microscopy confirmed that the laser treatments triggered the enhanced dentin formation.</p> <p>"It was definitely my first time doing rodent dentistry," said Arany, who faced several technical challenges in performing oral surgery on such a small scale. The dentin was strikingly similar in composition to normal dentin, but did have slightly different morphological organisation. Moreover, the typical reparative dentin bridge seen in human teeth was not as readily apparent in the minute rodent teeth, owing to the technical challenges with the procedure.</p> <p>"This is one of those rare cases where it would be easier to do this work on a human," Mooney said.<br>HOW IT WORKED Next the team performed a series of culture-based experiments to unveil the precise molecular mechanism responsible for the regenerative effects of the laser treatment. It turns out that a ubiquitous regulatory cell protein called transforming growth factor beta-1 played a pivotal role in triggering the dental stem cells to grow into dentin.<br> Beta-1 exists in latent form until activated by any number of molecules.</p><p>Here is the chemical domino effect the team confirmed: In a dose-dependent manner, the laser first induced reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are chemically active molecules containing oxygen that play an important role in cellular function. The ROS activated the latent Beta-1-complex which, in turn, differentiated the stem cells into dentin.</p> <p>The clinical effects of low-power lasers have been subtle and largely inconsistent. The new work marks the first time that scientists have gotten to the nub of how low-level laser treatments work on a molecular level, and lays the foundation for controlled treatment protocols. Next Arany aims to take this work to human clinical trials.</p> </div><div id="divArticleImagetag"><div class=""><a href="http://epaperbeta.timesofindia.com/Article.aspx?eid=31821&articlexml=Laser-triggers-stem-cells-to-regrow-teeth-30052014022010#"><img id="txtimg" src="http://epaperbeta.timesofindia.com/NasData//PUBLICATIONS/MIRROR/MUMBAI/2014/05/30/Photographs/022/30_05_2014_022_010_010.jpg" title="Click To Enlarge"></a><br> </div><br><div class=""><a href="http://epaperbeta.timesofindia.com/Article.aspx?eid=31821&articlexml=Laser-triggers-stem-cells-to-regrow-teeth-30052014022010#"><img id="txtimg" src="http://epaperbeta.timesofindia.com/NasData//PUBLICATIONS/MIRROR/MUMBAI/2014/05/30/Photographs/022/30_05_2014_022_010_011.jpg" title="Click To Enlarge"></a><br> </div><br></div><p></p><div id="divBL" style="float:right"><div></div></div><div id="divBR" style="float:left"><div></div></div></div><div id="divEmailsAndUrls" class="" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:11px"> <br></div><div id="divDiscussions" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;font-size:11px"></div></div> <div class="blogger-post-footer">A place to get free information on how to maintain a good healthy life.

The biggest declines were in the rates of heart attacks and deaths from high blood sugar, which dropped by more than 60% from 1990 to 2010, the period studied.</span><span style="text-align:justify;font-size:medium;font-weight:normal"> </span><br> </h2><span style="padding:0px;margin:0px;text-align:justify"> While researchers had had patchy indications that outcomes were improving for diabetic patients in recent years, the study, published in The New England Journal of Medicine, documents startling gains. <br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"> "This is the first really credible, reliable data that demonstrates that all of the efforts at reducing risk have paid off," said Dr David M Nathan, director of the Diabetes Center at Massachusetts General Hospital, who was not involved in the study. "Given that diabetes is the chronic epidemic of this millennium, this is a very important finding." <br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"> The number of Ameri</span><span style="padding:0px;margin:0px;text-align:justify">cans with diabetes more than tripled over the period of the study and is now nearly 26 million. Nearly all the increase came from Type 2 diabetes, which is often related to obesity and is the more common form of the disease. An additional 79 million Americans have pre-diabetes, which means they are at high risk of developing the disease. <br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"> Researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who wrote the study, estimate that diabetes and its complications account for about $176 billion in medical costs every year. The study measured outcomes for both Type 1 and Type 2. <br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"> Experts said the declines were the fruit of years of efforts to improve the health of patients with Type 2 diabetes. Doctors are much better now at controlling the risk factors that can lead to complications — for example, using medications to control blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure — health experts said. What is more, a widespread push to educate patients has improved how they look after themselves. And a major effort among health care providers to track the progress of diabetes patients and help steer the ones who are getting off track has started to have an effect.

Researchers from the University of Cambridge and the British Heart Foundation have found there is actually no evidence that confirms changing the type of fat you eat from “bad” saturated to “healthier” polyunsaturated cuts heart risk.</span><span style="text-align:justify;font-size:medium;font-weight:normal"> </span><br> </h2><span style="padding:0px;margin:0px;text-align:justify"> The researchers analysed data from 72 unique studies with over 600,000 participants from 18 nations and found total saturated fatty acid, whether measured in the diet or in the bloodstream as a biomarker, was not associated with coronary disease risk in the observational studies. Similarly, when analysing the studies that involved assessments of the consumption of total monounsaturated fatty acids, long-chain omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, there were no significant associations between consumption and cardiovascular risk. <br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"> Saturated fat is the kind of fat found in butter, biscuits, red meat, sausages and bacon and cheese and cream. There has been a big drive to get more people eating unsaturated fats, such as olive and sunflower oils, and other non-animal fats instead. But the latest study raises questions about the current guidelines that generally restrict the consumption of saturated fats and encourage con</span><span style="padding:0px;margin:0px;text-align:justify">sumption of polyunsaturated fats to prevent heart disease. <br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"> “These are interesting results that potentially stimulate new lines of scientific inquiry and encourage careful reappraisal of our current nutritional guidelines,” said Dr Rajiv Chowdhury, lead author of the research at the University of Cambridge. “Cardiovascular disease, in which the principal manifestation is coronary heart disease, remains the single leading cause of death and disability worldwide. In 2008, more than 17 million people died from a cardiovascular cause globally. With so many affected by this illness, it is critical to have appropriate prevention guidelines which are in</span><span style="padding:0px;margin:0px;text-align:justify">formed by the best available scientific evidence.” <br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"> The research collaboration led by the University of Cambridge analysed existing cohort studies and randomised trials on coronary risk and fatty acid intake.

Excessive alcohol consumption is known to cause either short or longterm liver damage. <br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"> Alcohol is a essentially a poison, and if drunk in excess over the long-term, it can lead to either a fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis or cirrhosis. <br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"> Over a number of years, most heavy drinkers tend to develop a fatty liver. In this condition, fat globules form within liver cells. <br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"> If alcohol consumption continues, hepatitis or inflammation of the liver develops. And with continued drinking, cirrhosis or scarring of tissue follows, making liver damage irreversible. <br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"> <b style="padding:0px;margin:0px">SYMPTOMS TO LOOK OUT FOR <br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"></b>The liver becomes enlarged, causing discomfort in the right upper abdomen.

Liver failure ensues, with coma and death. <br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"> <b style="padding:0px;margin:0px">HOW TO TREAT IT <br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"></b>Stop drinking completely and forever, is what doctors will tell you. If not, the disease may be fatal. If drinking stops, you may get a few extra years of life. <br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"> Fatty liver often disappears after three to six months of abstinence from alcohol. <br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"> About half of the people with cirrhosis die from liver failure within five years. <br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"> More than one in 10 with cirrhosis go on to develop liver cancer. <br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"> People who do not have any other serious health problems and have stopped drinking may be candidates for a liver transplant. <br style="padding:0px;margin:0px"> Swelling of the abdomen can be treated with diuretic drugs.
