bipolar disorder chronic illness :: Article Creator Supertaster Gene Tied To Higher Health Risks People who carry a bitter 'supertaster gene' have been linked to various health conditions including bipolar disorder and poor kidney function, University of Queensland researchers have found. Using large-scale genome studies and the UK Biobank database, researchers examined the impact of the TAS2R38 gene on food preference and health risks. Dr Daniel Hwang from UQ's Institute for Molecular Bioscience said 70 per cent of the population carried at least one copy of the gene. "TAS2R38 controls how strongly we taste bitterness in foods such as broccoli and brussels sprouts - making them taste extremely bitter to some people,'' Dr Hwang said. "If you carry two copies of the gene, you're highly sensitive to bitter-tasting chemical compounds phenylthiocarbamide and propylthiouracil.'' Dr Hwang said the...

left anterior hemiblock causes :: Article Creator Left Anterior Fascicular Block Diagnosis Causes Alarm Dr. Keith Roach DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 66-year-old woman who recently had an ECG prior to my knee surgery. The interpretation I received stated that I had an abnormal ECG with a "left anterior fascicular block." Needless to say, this alarmed me. I saw a nurse practitioner who stated: "Don't be concerned by the language; your doctor viewed the ECG and said it was fine." Your thoughts, please? — M.M. ANSWER: Anytime a person hears that there is a problem with their heart, it causes concern, so I understand why you were unsatisfied with an answer that doesn't explain what your condition really is.

biotoxin illness from breast implants :: Article Creator My Breast Implants Made Me Go Blind: 'I Felt Like I Was Slowly Dying' These implants were certainly eye-popping. A British mom says she was left temporarily blind after going under the knife to get DD-sized breast implants at the age of 19. Danielle Sheehan, now 32, had the artificial assets inserted after winning a $6000 beauty makeover back in 2010.
