A Healthier Me

I can't remember anymore when was my last post here but if im not mistaken, it was a month ago. Anyway, i am simply busy at my other site but i knew i have to continue updating this site too. Sigh, i don't know anymore how many sites i have at present but i think its more than the count of my finger and counting.

Anyway, today was a busy day for me. I was at the city to run some errands and one thing that i was thinkin of was to get my vitamins which i did. I have to maintain taking my ascorbic acid because it helps me boosts my immune system and a day without it is a risk on my health.

I think i should give the credit to my vitamins for  a healthier me.

Your Money Can't Buy Your Health

Above is a nice article id like to share. Indeed, MOney can't buy everything, right?

Secret to Longer Life

Scientists said they had found a brain region that controls physical ageing, opening the possibility of one day being able to manipulate it to effect how people grow old.

The research, published in the journal Nature, implicates the hypothalamus -- a brain region that regulates growth, reproduction and metabolism, in the gradual and coordinated bodily deterioration we call ageing.

Though the brain has long been suspected of orchestrating the process, this is the first evidence to that effect.

The team said they could speed up or slow down ageing in mice by activating or inhibiting the brain signalling molecule NF-kB in the hypothalamus, which in turn affects levels of a hormone called GnRH that plays a role in the generation of neurons -- the data processing cells of the brain.

By stimulating NF-kB, they caused a decline in GnRH which led to impaired neurogenesis and ageing symptoms like muscle weakening, skin atrophy, bone loss and memory impairment.

NF-kB is generally responsible for regulating the body's response to inflammation, the New York-based team wrote.

The researchers could also slow ageing in mice by giving them the GnRH hormone.More Here

Know Your Doctor's Specialization

Honestly, i don't have a single idea about doctor's specialization. Probably because i am more focus in a medical doctor on its general view. I mean when i say "doctor" - its a profession intended to treat the sick people and regardless if they;re for animals or man, i just knew they belong to the same white label.

Thus, while im having sense on the medical aspect, it made me research for the basic medical specialization and here's what i've got:

---------------------

Pediatrician - children 

Gerentologist - elderly 

Anesthesiologist - Anesthesia

Surgeon - Surgery

Cardiologist - heart

Nephrologist - Kidney

Hepatologist - Liver

Pulmonologist - Lungs

Endocrinologist - Glands

Dermatologist - Skin

Opthamologist - Eyes

Otolaryngologist - Ears, Nose and Throat

Gynecologist - female parts

Gasteroenterologist - Stomach and intestines

Proctologist - Rectum and anus

Urologist - Structures for urination under kidney 

Rheumatologist - Joints

Neurologist - Nervous system

------------------------------

I think they are the basic specialization that we need to know. So next time, you pay visit to your clinic, just pay attention to the label after their name. It says it all.
