Plantar fasciitis is a common and painful foot problem pain. It is an inflammation of the connective tissue called the plantar fascia that runs along the bottom of the foot, from the heel to the ball of the foot. Its common treatment includes icing the area, taking over-the-counter pain relievers, wearing an orthotic, or resting the foot. A recent study has shown that a new treatment involving steroid injections can give quick relief to patients suffering from this problem.
Recent study has proven association between junk food and increased risk of dementia. In animal models, eating meals rich in fat, sugar and cholesterol triggered changes in the brain associated with the early stages of the debilitating Alzheimer’s disease.
Recent research has shown that children born through caesarean section have 80 % more risk of developing childhood asthma as compared to children delivered naturally. Swiss researchers believe that that a natural birth could help to prime a child's immune system, making them more able to fight off illness whereas caesarean section possibly renders youngsters less able to combat common inflections, which scientists believe could act as a trigger for asthma.
In a landmark decision, the state government has decided to give pension to nearly 43,000 HIV patients in Andhra Pradesh.
Giving this information on the eve of World AIDS Day, State Family Welfare Minister Sambhani Chandrasekhar said that the government is preparing a blueprint for treating the HIV patients at various Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART) centres across the state.
A report released by four UN agencies to mark World AIDS Day said early HIV testing and timely treatment has shown to be lifesaving for newborns at risk of contracting HIV. The report published by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the World Health Organization (WHO), UNAIDS and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) said, "Early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve the prospects for survival of newborn babies exposed to HIV."
Researchers reported that an experimental drug that acts like the hormone melatonin can help jet-lagged travelers and night-shift workers by resetting the body’s circadian rhythms. The experimental drug, called tasimelteon, also known as VEC-162, manufactured by Maryland-based Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. has been reported to help patients sleep longer and more deeply than a placebo and helps restore normal sleep patterns.
