Knowing Women's Risk of Heart Disease
|
This is the VOA Special English Health Report , from voaspecialenglish.com | http Heart disease is the world's leading cause of death. Yet most cases can be prevented. Doctors say reducing deaths from heart disease will require not only changes in the way people live. It will also require changes in public policy, and better public knowledge about differences in heart disease between men and women. Two conditions, coronary artery disease and microvascular disease, can both reduce blood flow to the heart. Experts at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston say heart disease in women is more likely to be caused by microvascular disease. Finding this condition may require tests other than an angiogram. An angiogram is a kind of X-ray test. Doctors use it to look for a buildup of fatty plaque material that can block arteries. Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to the rest of the body. The World Health Organization says heart disease kills eighteen million women a year. And these are not just older women. Carrie Vincent had a heart attack after giving birth to her first child at the age of thirty-one. Ms. Vincent is now taking her message to women at meetings in their homes through an organization called Sister to Sister. Irene Pollin started Sister to Sister to educate women about heart disease. Ms. Pollin urges women to learn about their blood pressure, cholesterol levels and other risk factors for heart disease. Ms. Pollin teamed up with a heart specialist <b>...</b> |

Children and Adolescents with Congenital Heart Disease: Neurodevelopmental Outcomes and Predictors
|
The survival rate of children with congenital heart disease, the most common structural birth defect, has increased dramatically in recent decades. Concerns have been raised, however, about the later neurodevelopment of these children. Although intelligence is generally not impaired, they are at increased risk of impairments in speech (oromotor coordination) and language (pragmatics), visual-spatial skills, executive functions (planning, organization), social cognition (affect recognition), attention, motor skills, and psychosocial adjustment. Experimental studies evaluating the neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with different intra-operative management strategies have generally been disappointing, identifying few modifiable factors that improve patient outcomes. Instead, factors such as genotype (eg, 22q11 microdeletions) and general medical morbidity (eg, post-operative seizures) appear to be more important determinants of later neurodevelopment.

Macadamia Nut (Health Benefits)
|
HIGH IN MONOUNSATURATED FATS, MACADAMIAS HELP TO NORMALIZE BLOOD CHOLESTEROL LEVELS AND IMPROVE OVERALL HEART HEALTH. Including macadamia nuts regularly in the diet reduces LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, while increasing good HDL cholesterol. This effect is linked to the nut's high concentration of monounsaturated fats along with its plant sterol content, which inhibits the absorption of cholesterol from food. Macadamias are full of other nutrients, including potassium and magnesium, which help to regulate fluid balance, protein needed for growth and tissue repair, and cell-protective antioxidants such as vitamin E, selenium and a compound called EPICATECHIN. NUTRIENTS: VITAMINS B1, B3, B5, B6 & E BIOTIN CALCIUM COPPER IODINE IRON MAGNESIUM MANGANESE PHOSPHORUS POTASSIUM SELENIUM ZINC FIBER PROTEIN MONOUNSATURATED FATS wp: flickr |
