Heat rash is a common disease in hot and humid environment, like in the tropical regions and during the summer. Although, people of all ages get affected by it, but children and infants, especially become victims due to their underdeveloped sweet glands.
It is important to distinguish heat rashes from other skin rashes, for example impetigo, eczema, folliculitis, and poison ivy, so you may treat and prevent this common rash appropriately.
Heat rash is triggered in children when they get overheated, reasons of this high temperature could be, overdressing, fever or hot climate. As children become hot and sweaty, their sweat glands become blocked and rupture. Heat rash is also known as miliaria and it’s some most common types are as follows.
LONDON - Widespread antidepressant drugs may impair men’s fertility by destructing the DNA in their sperm, according to research, reported in New Scientist magazine.
A study conducted on thirty-five healthy men given paroxetine (Paxil or Seroxat) by GSK (GlaxoSmithKline) found that, the percentage of sperm cells with fragmented DNA rose from 13.8 % to 30.3 % after just four weeks treatment.
The researcher, Peter Schlegel and Cigdem Tanrikut of the Cornell Medical Center in New York concluded, “The fertility potential of a substantial proportion of men on paroxetine may be adversely affected by these changes in sperm DNA integrity.”
NEW YORK - Being obese may faint a man’s hope of becoming a father, even if he is healthy superficially, a new study concludes.
Researchers came to know that among 87 healthy men ages 19 to 48, obese were less likely to be a father. Precisely, they exhibit hormonal variation that leads to a reduced reproductive capacity, the researchers report in the journal Fertility and Sterility.
As compare to thinner men, obese had reduced levels of testosterone in their blood, as well as poorer levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), both hormones are essential for reproduction.
HONG KONG (Reuters) – Infants treated with common pain reliever “paracetamol” may have a higher risk of developing eczema and asthma, at the age of 6 or 7, a large study covering children in 31 countries has found.
The study was published in the journal Lancet along with two different studies, which reveal that runny noses and wheezing in early days of life may be clear sign of asthma.
In the first study, researchers analyze data of more than 205,000 children and came to know that paracetamol use in infancy was associated with a 46 percent higher risk of asthma by the time the children were 6 or 7 compared to those never exposed to the drug.
SYDNEY - The Australian government has granted first license to create cloned human embryos to obtain embryonic stem cells (ES cells). The in vitro-fertilization firm Sydney (IVF) was granted the permission, has access to 7,200 human eggs for its research work.
Scientists in different regions have made stem cells. They believe are similar to embryonic cells by using multiple techniques, but none was able to obtain ES cells from cloned human embryos.Sydney IVF’s research would be strictly monitored, said Dr John Findlay, Chair of the NHMRC’s licensing committee.
The way a woman walks might be expressing a lot more about her than she expect, researchers claim. “Gait may be associated with orgasmic ability,” is the title of a study appearing in the September issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine.
The observer may deduce women’s experience of vaginal orgasm from walking that includes fluidity, vigor, sensuality, freedom, and lack of flaccid and blocked muscles.
In order to establish a theory linking blocked muscles to sexual function, researcher, Paisley asked female students to complete questionnaires on their sexual behavior.
The structure of hair is similar like the scales on the skin of a fish, that has overlapping scales around a central core called the cortical. Smooth overlapping produce shiny hair and smooth the hair looks. This also provides easy combing while a tangled or rough structure makes the hair look dull.
Nutrition and lifestyle are two key factors that sway the health of the hair. Poor diet, illness, vitamin and mineral deficiencies affects the strength of hair and conditions like dandruff, thinning hair, balding, premature graying etc. spoil the hair.
For an individual the hair condition completely constitute the reflection of him. If the person is not healthy then the hair would be in worst state.
Psychic surgery initially started in the spiritualist community in Philippines. The first psychic surgery was performed by a surgeon called “Eleuterio Terte” by merely using his hands. He would amusingly create an opening in the skin and reach up to the tumors, dead cells, clusters or impurities using his hands and the skin would be miraculously healed after the surgery is done. It became a subject of great interest and such a surgery was filmed and written about all across the world. A majority of people were amazed at the authenticity of such a surgery and termed it as a “miracle”.
By the fifties, this trend was used in many parts of the world. The Brazilian psychic readers not only made use of their hands but also employed other kitchen utensils and blades to dig out the impurities out of the body. They claimed to have a direct connection with the spirits of the deceased doctors that helped them carry out the surgery successfully. Most of those practices could be easily compared to the present day’s chiropractic services. Many licensed doctors later closed the wounds left open by the miraculous psychic surgeons.
LONDON - More than 9 million children all over the world, died before celebrating their fifth birthday in 2007, which is slightly, down in number from 2006, but a vast gap still remains between rich and poor countries, especially in Africa, UNICEF said.
