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...

mild nonobstructive coronary artery disease :: Article Creator Everything To Know About Nonobstructive Coronary Artery Disease Nonobstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) occurs when the coronary arteries have a plaque buildup but remain unblocked. Experts usually view it as less severe than obstructive CAD. However, research reveals nonobstructive CAD may also increase the risk of a heart attack. In this article, we examine the differences between nonobstructive and obstructive CAD. We also discuss whether nonobstructive CAD is dangerous and the potential risk factors and treatments for the condition. A note about sex and gender Sex and gender exist on spectrums.

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. The heart is a wonderful pump, but when the pump function is bad, it is called heart failure. The heart has arteries that provide it with blood, containing the oxygen and fuel the heart needs, and when the arteries are ...

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. At the time, the teen — who started out as a C cup — was working as a model and believed a big bust would help further her career. But shortly after having the implants inserted, Sheehan says she started to experience eczema flare-ups. Doctors told her the issue was stress, but the skin condition never subsided. Later, Sheehan began experiencing more health problems, including thinning hair and recently, a terrifying loss of vision following the birth of a baby. Danielle Sheehan, now 32, had the artificial assets inser...

pragmatic clinical trial :: Article Creator Pragmatic Approach May Be The Way Forward For Clinical Trials That a new cancer trial is about to start in the US is positive but not out of the ordinary, right? Except it is. This trial will be one of the first undertaken in a real-world clinical setting and represents a new model for future clinical trials. The US's National Cancer Institute (NCI) has helped launch a phase 3 clinical trial, the Pragmatica-Lung Study, investigating the use of a two-drug treatment for people with advanced (stage 4) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). What makes this trial different is that it's one of the first to adopt a 'pragmatic' approach. Pragmatic clinical trials (PCTs) are designed to evaluate the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions in real-life clinical situations, whereas explanatory trials test whether an intervention works under ideal conditions. Because of how they're run, PCTs pr...
