		<description><![CDATA[BPH, or benign prostate hyperplasia, is a medical term for an enlarged prostate gland. As males age, their prostatic gland engorges and as a result may result in complaints for example trouble in urination, reduced urinary stream, and even urinary retention.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Medical professionals call an enlarged prostate benign prostate hyperplasia, or BPH. Put simply this entails that the prostate gland, a mass which encloses the urethra and is situated beneath the bladder, swells this can compromise and even stop the flow of urine. The prostate gland grows as the years go by and can result in symptoms such as difficulties with passing water, a weak stream, and urinary retention. Nighttime frequency and recurring urinary tract inflammation are some of the additional problems which may arise from an enlarged prostatic gland.</p>
<p>What Is Benign Prostate Hypertrophy?</p>
<p>An enlarged prostate is considered to be one of the more frequent problems of men over sixty. Current Guidelines are that men over 50 undergo exam by their personal physicians every year, irrespective of the occurence of any problems, to help maintain better prostate gland wellness. Inability to pass water or the presence of blood in the urine is a signal to seek medical treatment immediately. Surgery or the use of pharmaceuticals are common interventions for prostate gland enlargement. Nevertheless, impotence or even incontinence may be observed following a surgical operation. High blood pressure therapies and medicines that shrink the prostate are frequently given for better prostate function, however, medicinal drugs frequently lead to unwanted side effects so what are some alternative therapies? Suffering From an Enlarged Prostate Gland? Find Natural Answers to a Healthier Prostate: &#8212; To promote better prostate gland health and avoid the frequent problems connected with prostate gland enlargement, various alternative treatments can help. Swelling may be eased by the remedy Afican pygeum, relieving some of the more disagreeable symptoms. The remedy African Pygeum has been utilized on a regular basis for many years in Europe as a treatment to promote improved prostate gland health, it is a derivative of an African evergreen plant.</p>
<p>Dietetic changes for example reducing the consumption of fats can also improve symptoms, as well as increasing exercise, the pressure in the prostate gland should also be eased through ejaculating more often, it is also advisable to avoid sitting still for a long time. Prostate associated problems are frequently aggravated thru the consumption of anti-histamines or decongestant medicines purchased without prescription, use these medicinal drugs with this in mind. Reduction of caffeine and additionally alcohol consumption, and don&#8217;t drink close to retiring for the night this may reduce nighttime trips to the toilet. Prostate health can also respond to other supplements for example saw palmetto extract, Borago officinalis oil, selenium, and lycopene, a molecule extracted from tomatoes. But please do make sure to talk over your plans with your doctor before setting out on any holistic treatment of an <a href="http://www.prostatesecrets.com/prostate-vitamins.htm">enlarged prostate</a> gland.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At Park Avenue Laser Vision they see at least one patient every single day, who cannot be helped with the <b>older, cutting LASIK</b> procedure, but can be fixed by the more modern <a href="http://www.parkavenuelaser.com">LASEK</a> <b>Advanced Surface Ablation </b>they are performing!</p>
<p>Likewise, here are some classes and examples of unusual patients/situations<br />
they can help with:</p>
<h2>Patients with Lazy Eye</h2>
<p>By this explanation for <b>anisometropic amblyopia</b> you<br />
can see how we can assist treat (or even prevent) lazy eye by lasering off the<br />
prescription in the  bad  eye, making so it have a prescription that is really<br />
better than the  good eye  so the brain can no longer neglect the  bad eye,<br />
because it is no longer really a poor eye!</p>
<p>So, the dozens of patients with lazy eyes were all adults,<br />
and had been told over the years (or decades, in many cases) that their  bad<br />
eye could not be helped but this was often decades ago, before the <b>excimer<br />
laser</b> was even invented by two of Dr. Chynn s MD colleagues while he was a<br />
student at <b>Columbia University.</b></p>
<p>These patients are among our happiest patients, as we didn t<br />
just eliminate their contacts and glasses (like for a regular patient), but we<br />
actually took an eye that they had  given up on  and made it a practical,<br />
working eye!</p>
<p>Most patients with amblyopia whom we fixed report vastly<br />
improved <b>peripheral vision</b>, and also say that <b>their bad eye no longer<br />
wanders when they are tired</b> and that they feel <b>less of a strain on their<br />
good eye</b> because they are <b>using both eyes together for the first time in<br />
their lives!</b></p>
<p>Even better, because you have a <b>pre-existing medical<br />
condition</b>, in most cases, your <b>medical insurance will actually partially<br />
pay for your laser procedure</b> because it is not purely cosmetic, but is<br />
correcting a medical problem!</p>
<h2>Extreme prescriptions: myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism:</h2>
<p>We at Park Avenue Laser Vision are the ONLY center in NYC performing<br />
100% No-Cut, No-Flap, All-Laser LASEK and epi-LASEK laser vision correction.
</p>
<p>Therefore, by not cutting a flap, we save over 100 microns<br />
of corneal tissue, which is actually enough to treat nearly -10.00 D! of myopia<br />
in a  standard  ablation, and -7.00 D in a  High-Definition Laser Vision<br />
Correction<sup>TM</sup> !</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The Durom Hip Implant has been a great help to many people and allowed them to enjoy increased mobility without pain.  However that all changed when Zimmer released a hip implant in the US Market that was coated with an untested substance.  This has caused much physical pain and discomfort by those individuals affected by the hip implants.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every year, joint replacements are given to many Americans.  It is a method for senior citizens or anyone with worn out joints to obtain additional years of being active and enjoying life.  Patients trust that a procedure such as this is so common and routine, they don&#8217;t question their doctors opinions nor do they question the manufacturers of their joint replacements about the quality of the product being implanted into them.  This has led to practices that can actually cause injury to you or your loved ones.  If you know someone who has received a hip replacement, read on for this important information about the manufacturer <a href="http://www.lawyersforclients.com/zimmer-durom-cup-hip-implant/index.php">zimmer hip lawsuit</a>.</p>
<p>The modern hip replacement operation has been taking place since the 1970&#8217;s, which is why the idea may seem so commonplace to you.   A  Zimmer Durom hip replacement comprises three-part correction, is known to result in a behaviour similar to that of an original knee joint.  Included is a metal replacement of the femur.  A bone cement or screws to hold the contraption in place allows movement like the joint naturally would.</p>
<p>Click here in order to check into more info about the <a href="http://knol.google.com/k/lindsey-davidson/-/vc4jeirs62l1/1">zimmer hip recall</a></p>
<p>One of the most common issues with hip replacements is the need for revision, or a further surgery to correct issues with the implant.  Unfortunately, this is something many elderly and even healthy young patients cannot tolerate.  This is primary with the <a href="http://johnathanfowler.vox.com/library/post/zimmer-durom-hip-cup-recall-latest-news.html">zimmer durom hip replacement</a>.  The  Durom device was used by doctors in younger patients that would normally need a hip replacement, as it was designed to be long lasting.  But more than 10% of these paitents are in need for having repeat surgery in the next 2 years.</p>
<p>If you or someone you know has had a hip replacement surgery in the last several years, ask your doctor if it was  a Zimmer Durom.  If it was, even if you have not had a failure of your hip replacement yet, you may be able to join a class action law suit.  If  Durom reaches you don&#8217;t sign anything or you could lose this right.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Malignant mesothelioma is a rare and quick acting growth where no helpful treatment has been discovered despite the discovery of several potential molecular targets. The late stages of Malignant pleural mesothelioma diagnosis and the period of time that exists between contacts and diagnosis have made it hard to fully study what risk factors do and the insuing molecular effects.</p>
<p>Many hospitals are witnessing increasing numbers of people that have <a href="http://www.availusa.org/">malignant mesothelioma</a>. This presents pathologists involved in making the diagnosis with a number of problems, which can be broken up into those exposed in finding the differences between cancer of the mesothelium and harmless changes and those experienced in setting apart mesotheliomas from different types of epithelial and connecting tissue tumors. IHC is a major factor in diagnosing, but it should be interpreted with regards to the experimental setting and radiological characteristics, and understanding the extensive morphological variations  that exist in mesothelioma.</p>
<p>Cancer of the mesothelium is a primary cancer of the serosal cavities, an anatomical area that is often affected by metastasis, largely from primary carcinomas of the ovary, lung and breast. Advances in IHC have caused an improved diagnostic sensitivity and  between metastatic adenocarcinoma and {malignant mesothelioma in both cytological and histological material. Lately, the authors group applied high throughput technology to the classification of new markers that may aid in telling the difference between cancer of the mesothelium from ovarian and peritoneal cancer, closely related histogenesis found in tumors and antigenic profile. Together with the improved medical devices obtainable for cancer of the serosa diagnosis, knowing the biology of mesothelioma has been accruing in recent years.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you want long term weight loss and you want to lose weight fast then the 15 proven tips below will help you reach your goal.</p>
<p>Some of the tips we give below for weight loss actually mean that you won&#8217;t have to starve yourself and you can also have your favorite food as a treat so you won&#8217;t feel deprived.</p>
<p>So here are 15 tips to lose weight fast:</p>
<p>1. Don&#8217;t look for miracles overnight</p>
<p>Keep in mind when we say lose weight fast, you can only do so at a rate which keeps you healthy and takes off those extra pounds without making you feel ill.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t expect miracles in a week, but if you adhere to the tips below, your weight loss over a month or two, will be very noticeable and you will fell healthier and happier.</p>
<p>2. Eat good carbs</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t cut carbs! Your body needs them as fuel. All you need to do is eat good carbs such as brown rice and vegetables and cut out the refined ones.</p>
<p>3. Have one day off a week</p>
<p>Stick to your diet for weight loss for six days a week on the seventh eat what you want. If you fancy a pizza or a burger have one.</p>
<p>The major problem with diets (and why people don&#8217;t stick to them) is they deprive you have choice.</p>
<p>If you can&#8217;t have something you want it more!</p>
<p>One day off out of seven gives you back choice and will make the rest of your diet easier to adhere to longer term.</p>
<p>4. Have healthy quick snacks made up</p>
<p>When we all were in a hurry go for quick snacks fast food etc.</p>
<p>The trick here is to have some healthy foods made up in advance, or on hand in the cupboard to make up.</p>
<p>Tinned tuna, salmon, sardines and mackerel are great for this.<br />
 Simply get them out, do a baked potato and add some salad for a tasty meal in around 10 minutes.</p>
<p>5. Eat healthy fats</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t have to give up fats just make sure you eat healthy ones i.e. non saturated ones.</p>
<p>6. Eat Fiber</p>
<p>Eating fiber is great as it fills you up for longer.</p>
<p>As it cannot be digested it is discarded along the way and takes fats from other foods with it.</p>
<p>Most people don&#8217;t eat enough fiber so make sure you do!</p>
<p>7. Don&#8217;t fry food</p>
<p>Avoid frying always go for grilling or boiling to cut down your unhealthy fat consumption.</p>
<p>8. Eat naturally from the earth</p>
<p>Go organic and try and eat natural foods.</p>
<p>Not only do they have less fat, they also tend to have more nutrients and less harmful additives.</p>
<p>9. Eat breakfast</p>
<p>You body needs to be fueled after sleeping, so not only will it get you off to a great start and give you energy, it will help you avoid hunger pangs later in the day.</p>
<p>10. Drink lots of water</p>
<p>Drinking water is one of the most important catalysts for losing weight.</p>
<p>Many hunger pangs are simply thirst pangs, so before you reach for food drink water. Water also helps the body metabolize fat better, so drink 2 &#8211; 3 liters per day.</p>
<p>11. Eat five meals a day</p>
<p>Eating more frequently will stop you from feeling hungry and will keep your body healthy and alert.</p>
<p>Eating five meals a day also means that you will never have hunger pangs.</p>
<p>Obviously, make sure that your portion sizes and calorie intake are in line with your weight and build!</p>
<p>12. Eat a balanced diet</p>
<p>Fad diets don&#8217;t work; they deprive you of foods you should eat and are so difficult to follow most people give up and finally, there unhealthy!</p>
<p>If you lose weight fast you will gain it back (maybe more) just as fast. You need to eat a well balanced diet of carbs protein and fat.</p>
<p>The above tips for weight loss can be incorporated in any balanced diet for weight loss and will ensure you will lose weight at a fast but healthy rate.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The latest research reports that more than 40 million Americans have &#8220;pre-diabetes&#8221;. Pre-diabetes (or Impaired Glucose Tolerance) is a combination of factors that you may have right now that puts you at a heightened risk for real, irreversible Type 2 diabetes in ten years.  It is usually a combination of inactivity, a fat-laden diet, obesity and genetics that is responsible.  When one has pre-diabetes, the level of glucose in the blood is over the normal limit but still has not reached diabetic limits yet.</p>
<p>Pre-diabetes is not diabetes per se and if you are diagnosed with it, it is not a death sentence.  With exercise, weight loss and a healthy diet, pre-diabetic people can and have managed to bring down their glucose levels and have escaped the threat of an insulin-dependent life.</p>
<p>You won&#8217;t necessarily know if you have pre-diabetes because it is asymptomatic.  There are no big telltale signs that point toward it but it is of crucial importance to be tested for condition as soon as possible so you can curb it right away.  If nothing is done during the pre-diabetic stage, it is very likely that the blood sugar levels will go awry and needlessly boost a person&#8217;s risk of heart disease and eye damage, as well as a host of other difficult and expensive consequences.</p>
<p>Should you be screened for pre-diabetes?  If you answer yes to any of the following questions, you should talk to your doctor about getting screened: Do you have relatives that have heart disease or Type 2 diabetes?  Are you overweight?  Do you have high blood pressure?  Are you part of a &#8220;high-risk&#8221; group (African American, Latino and Asian)?  Do you have more stored fat around your belly than your hips?  If you&#8217;re male, you should be checked if your waistline is more than 40 inches and if you&#8217;re female, if your waistline is more than 35 inches.  If you&#8217;ve had children, did you have diabetes when you were pregnant or deliver a baby that weighed more than nine pounds?</p>
<p>If you think you are pre-diabetic, your doctor will recommend that you go for a fasting plasma glucose test (FPG).  To prepare for the FPG, you will be asked to fast for 10 hours before a blood sample is drawn first thing in the morning before breakfast.  The normal level is below 100 mg/dl.  If your have an FPG level between 100 and 125 mg/dl, you are considered pre-diabetic.  But if your blood glucose level is 126 mg/dl or more, you can be considered a diabetic already.</p>
<p>To back up the FPG result, your doctor may ask you to take an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) that is similar to the FPG.  This time however, you will be asked to drink a glucose-rich beverage and your blood glucose level measured 2 hours after.  If normal, your blood glucose would be below 140 mg/dl two hours after the drink.  If pre-diabetic, the blood glucose level is between 140 to 199 mg/dl.  If your figure is above 200 mg/dl or more, you are considered diabetic.  You should also have your cholesterol levels checked.  High levels of triglycerides in the blood and low levels of &#8220;good&#8221; HDL cholesterol do not only put you at risk for diabetes, but also heart disease and certain cancers.</p>
<p>Knowing you are pre-diabetic is a blow for many people, but there is no reason to give up hope yet.    More studies show that pre-diabetics who are aware of their condition can do a number of things that can prevent or delay the development of diabetes.  The first thing to take care of is really an intense modification in lifestyle.  Starting a modest exercise routine like walking for half an hour every day can trigger weight loss.  Both exercise and weight loss are proven methods that slow the development of diabetes by returning blood glucose levels to normal in some people.  You need not even reach your ideal body weight to reap benefits &#8211; a 15% reduction in weight can cut your risk of having full-fledged diabetes by almost 60 percent!  This little change is twice as effective as taking medication.  Start educating yourself about your condition.  See your doctor regularly and meet with a registered dietician and an exercise specialist.  Ask your doctor about some supplements like aspirin and niacin that you may benefit from.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Healthy eating has become part of your life, but you&#8217;re still 10 or less pounds short of your goal weight.  Don&#8217;t worry.  This happens to most people.  It may be that your body likes the weight you are at and does not want to give up anymore fat.  Every &#8220;body&#8221; has a set point. You can change this if you really are adamant about reaching your original goal weight.</p>
<p>Here are lists of things to change that will jumpstart your weight loss again:</p>
<p>1. Make changes to your weight training routine.  If you have been doing a full body workout you should switch to a split routine.  Do your upper body one day and your lower body on your next weight training day or work your muscles in groups (ex: Day 1 &#8211; Legs / Day 2 &#8211; Chest &#038; Triceps / Day 3 &#8211; Back, Shoulders &#038; Biceps)</p>
<p>2. Change the type of exercises you are doing for each body part.  For instance, if you have been doing the Seated Chest Press and Pec Deck for your chest, switch to a Flat Bench Press and Dumbbell Flyes. You will actually see better results if you use free weights instead of machines.</p>
<p>3. Change the type of cardio you are doing.  Your body gets used to the same routine after about 4 weeks.  If you have been doing the treadmill for your cardio workout for more than 4 weeks, switch to the stationary bike, the elliptical or the stair stepper.</p>
<p>4. Make some dietary changes.  For a short while (6 weeks or less) you can remove the starchy carbohydrates from your last 2 meals. Replace the starch with vegetables.  Never remove all the carbohydrates from your diet.</p>
<p>5. Zig Zag your caloric intake.  Eat low (1400) calories for 3 days in a row, and then have one higher calorie day.  Increase your calories by 25% for your high calorie day. (1750 calories).</p>
<p>6. Make sure you are eating ONLY whole-grain, unprocessed carbohydrates. White flour and processed carbohydrates such as bread can cause an insulin spike, which in turn promotes fat storage. Eat foods low on the Glycemic Index to help avoid insulin spikes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.aim4nutrition.com/glycemicindex.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.aim4nutrition.com/glycemicindex.com</a></p>
<p>7. If you eat dairy, make sure it is fat free.  Since dairy is processed, is it best to keep it to a minimum, especially cheese. There is also evidence that the protein in dairy products may leach calcium from your bones.  The best sources of calcium are plant sources such as green, leafy vegetables and soy products like tofu and soy milk.</p>
<p>8. If you&#8217;ve reached a plateau, maybe it&#8217;s time to try something totally different.  Instead of your regular cardio plan, sign up for a martial arts class or a boxing class.  They will not only get your heart pumping but also help to make you mentally disciplined. Try martial arts or boxing classes as your only form of cardio 1 or 2 days a week. Continue with weight training at least 3 days per week.  For your &#8220;Off Days&#8221;, take a nice long leisurely walk.</p>
<p>Making just a few of these changes can help you break that dreaded plateau and re-start your fat loss.</p>
