Young people gets heart attack too!!!

Hi there saw this article which i think it is essential to share it out to all of you about HEART ATTACK. Written by ANDREA K. WALKER entitled "there is no such thing as being too young to get a heart attack.

Indeed it is so true that we have misconception that HEART ATTACK only occur to obese people.
As more young people suffer from heart attacks, doctors have started to pay better attention to possible symptoms in younger patients and not discount signs because of the person’s age.

Carrie O’Connor thought she was a fairly healthy 35-year-old who went on daily jogs and ate well. Then, more than a year ago, she suffered back-to-back heart attacks.
The first hit while she was treating herself to baubles at Smyth Jewelers in Timonium, Maryland. The project manager at T. Rowe Price suddenly felt nauseated and severe pain consumed her stomach. Pain shot up her arm and her jaw ached. All were common symptoms of a heart attack, the paramedics later told her.

The second happened later that day when doctors tried to insert a stent to open a blocked left artery they believed had caused the first attack. During the procedure, two of her other arteries began to spasm and she had a massive heart attack.
Heart disease is often seen as an older person’s affliction. In the US, the average age at a first heart attack is 64 for men and 72 for women, according to the American Heart Association.
About 10 years ago, the average ages were 65.8 for men and 70.4 for women.
But heart attacks also can occur in younger patients like O’Connor who are seemingly healthy, caught off guard by the life-changing illness. They find themselves dealing with problems more typical of people their parents’ age, taking loads of pills and limiting strenuous activity to protect their weakened hearts.
“It was not something I expected at all,” O’Connor said. “We don’t have family history. I don’t have any typical risk factors. I’m not overweight. I don’t smoke. I eat fine.”
At Anne Arundel Medical Center, where O’Connor received cardiac rehabilitation, the hospital saw such a surge in young patients that it started a support group to help them cope.
In 2009, the average age of heart attack patients at the hospital was 70 years. In 2012, it was 60.
“In addition to the bread-and-butter standard cases, we are seeing it in younger folks and the reasons are not completely clear,” said Dr Scott Katzen, a general and interventional cardiologist with Cardiology Associates who has privileges at Anne Arundel Medical Center. 
In recent years, some high-profile deaths have brought further attention to the issue.
James Gandolfini, who starred in the popular The Sopranos television series, died at age 51 from a massive heart attack. Actor Michael Clarke Duncan died at age 54 after suffering a heart attack. 
Doctors believe some of the attacks are brought on by genetic causes, but doctors also point to the nation’s obesity problem as a factor.
Stress also could play a role, although further study needs to be done, some doctors said.
Doctors have started to pay better attention to possible symptoms in younger patients and not discount signs because of the person’s age, said Jeffrey L. Quartner, chief of cardiology at MedStar Union Memorial Hospital and a board member of the American Heart Association Maryland.
“We have changed our sensitivity to realise young people have heart attacks as well,” Quartner said. 
Ana Pendleton Duhon, a 37-year-old teacher, was riding in the car with her mother in June 2012. That is the last thing she remembers from that day.
Her mother would later tell her she slumped over in mid-conversation. Paramedics shocked Duhon’s heart three times to revive her. Doctors would determine later she went into cardiac arrest.

Hearing Health : 5 Things you didn't know about ear wax

So what are the 5 things you didn't know about ear wax?

1. Earwax gets out through the movement of the ear cell. 

The cells inside the ear canal are unique in the human body - they migrate. "You could put an ink dot on the eardrum and watch it move over a few weeks and it would be 'carried out' by the movement of the cells." according to Prof Shakeel Saeed at London's Royal National Throat, Nose and Ear hospital. Read more.....

2.  Earwax has microbial properties

Ear wax contains waxy oils but much of it is made up of keratinocytes - dead skin cells. The rest of cerumen - to give it its technical name - is a mixture of substances.

 3. You can differentiate earwax to asian and non asian

Asian and non-Asian ears produce different types of earwax according to scientists at the Monell Institute in Philadelphia. Chromosome 16 is home to the "wet" or "dry" gene for earwax - with the wet variant dominating. READ MORE HERE...

4. A vaccumm is better than a syringed

Carrie Roberts is in her 40s and has an ear wax problem. She had her ears syringed at the GPs several times, tried hot oil with no success - and ended up with both ears blocked.Ms Roberts decided to pay for micro-suction treatment, where the ear canal is cleaned with an instrument like a tiny vacuum cleaner. Prof Saeed prefers this method to syringing. "With syringing you are going in 'blind' - not under direct vision. If you use water it has to get past the wax and come back, bringing the wax with it. Read MORE HERE

5.  Earwax can be a polluntant monitor



Earwax, like many other bodily secretions, can show traces of certain toxins in the body such as heavy metals. But it's an odd place to look and no more reliable than a simple blood test.
There are also some rare metabolic disorders that affect earwax. The most notable earwax scientific discovery of recent times is that of a 24cm wax earplug from a blue whale.
Unlike humans which shed their earwax and dead skin cells, filter-feeding whales retain their earwax, recording life events similar to the way tree rings reveal arid and wet seasons during its lifetime.
The earwax was analysed by Sascha Usenko, a environmental scientist at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. He and his team found that during the 12-year-old male whale's life it came into contact with 16 different pollutants such as pesticides.
There was a peak of exposure during the first year of life - suggesting that these were transferred from its mother either in the womb or through her milk.
Now share this to your friends and family.

What causes hearing loss in Children?

Hi there everyone, welcome back to Hearing Aid blog. Today we will be discussing on what causes hearing loss in children?

Before we go directly into the causes of hearing loss in Children, let us look at some statistics.
Two to 3 children out of 1,000 in the U.S. are born deaf or with some loss of hearing, according to the National Institutes of Health. Most states test the hearing of newborns, and if there is a hearing problem, another test is done within a few weeks. Early treatment is important.  Read more here....
That's a big number. 3 out of 1000 in US.

Now let us look at what causes hearing loss in Children.

What causes hearing loss in Children?
  • Otitis media. This middle ear infection happens often in young children because their Eustachian tubes (the tubes that connect the middle ear to the nose) are not fully developed. Fluid builds up behind the eardrum and can become infected. Even if there is no pain or infection, the fluid can affect hearing if it stays there, at least temporarily. In severe and long-lasting cases, otitis media can lead to permanent hearing loss.
  • Problems at birth. Some children are born with hearing problems. More than half of hearing problems in children born with them are due to genetics. Others happen during the pregnancy or from prenatal care. Hearing loss can also happen when a pregnant woman develops certain conditions such as diabetes or toxemia. Being premature also raises a child's chance for hearing problems.
  • Illness or injury. Many conditions can cause hearing problems in young children, including illnesses such as meningitis, encephalitis, measles, chickenpox, and the flu. Head injuries, very loud noises, and certain medications can also cause hearing loss. Read more here.....
 Hope you learn something today about the cause of hearing loss.
