Blood Tests Could Detect Sexually-Transmitted Oral Cance

<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01762/blood-test_1762730c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="199" src="http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01762/blood-test_1762730c.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> <div> <div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 0.75em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"> <b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Blood tests</b> can detect sexually transmitted oral cancers before onset of disease. HPV antibodies that cause high type of mouth and throat cancer when transmitted through oral sex can be easily detected in blood tests a long time before onset of disease. This research was conducted by the team of researchers of World Health Organization. HPV is already a well known antibody that causes cancer but this finding is exciting that this can be detected in advance.</div> <div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 0.75em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"> HPV is the most <b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">common sexually transmitted disease</b>that can lead to throat cancer. This was not known before that blood tests can be so helpful in the detection of HPV cancer. Oral cancers are more common in men than women; it has been statistically proved. HPV is better known for causing cervical cancer and other <b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">genital cancers</b>. HPV is not only causing these cancers but also responsible for an increasing number of cancers of mouth and throat, particularly spotting men.</div> <div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 0.75em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"> According to researchers, a blood test can track down human papillomavirus (HPV) antibodies a long time ago before the onset of disease which can lead to mouth and throat cancer when transmitted via oral sex. This study was published by team of researchers of world health organization in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. These were the findings which led to the earlier screening of antibodies. This blood test is very beneficial as it gives a chance to doctors to find those who are at high <b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">risks of oral cancer</b>.</div> <div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 0.75em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"> The researcher of WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), Paul Brennan who led this study said that it was not known whether these antibodies are presence in blood before the cancer became clinically detectable. He also added that if the results are confirmed, then for the early detection of disease future screening tools can be developed.  </div> <div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 0.75em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"> If we have a look in the past on causes of oral, neck and head cancers lie in the heavy consumption of alcohol and smoking. But over past few decades rates of this disease have dramatically increased especially in Europe and North America. Brennan said that this cancer has been rapidly increasing due to changing sexual practices in these particular areas like North America and Europe. It means oral sex is most common nowadays in such countries. This issue was highlighted by a Hollywood actor <b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Michael Douglas</b>, who said that his throat cancer was caused by HPV transmitted through oral sex.</div> <div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 0.75em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"> This study also has another significant finding that the patients with oral cancers linked to HPV are three times more likely to alive five years after diagnosis than oral cancers patients hose tumor is not associated with HPV and instead associated with smoking and consumption of alcohol.</div> <div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 0.75em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"> The <b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">blood test</b> used in this study is relatively simple and cheap and can be developed as a tool for more widespread screening before five years. As early the detection, the treatment will be better and there are greater chances of survival. After the success of this research, it is found that regular screening and early detection can result in earlier diagnosis and earlier intervention.</div> </div>

Stop Complaining, It's Bad For Your Brain

Observe yourself, are you complaining about weather, siblings and exchange annoying glances with neighbors and family members? This sounds totally normal. The fact is that we are impacted by what we listen to and start complaining.</div> <div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 0.75em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"> Complaining ruins your thoughts and unconsciousness. Your brain contains more than 100 billion neurons that flawlessly work together to create consciousness and thoughts. But these thoughts and consciousness may disturb by continuous complaining. This article is only to make you realize you that complaining is not the solution of problems. Think twice. Complaining may double your problem and also cause anxiety and frustration for you as well as others.</div> <div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 0.75em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"> Now the question is why complaining is bad for brain and how it affects brain badly. According to some psychologists, brain is like a muscle and if you are exposed to <b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">complaining and negativity</b> for a long period of time, you are more likely to behave in the same way as well. A study showed that complaining affects your inner thought and unconsciousness. Brain reacts to various stimuli including negativity.</div> <div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 0.75em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"> According to medical experts, the fact is that negativity actually peels away neurons in the brain’s part named hippocampus which is associated with problem solving. Basically it turns your brain to mush. What we are exposed to in our life has a deep impact on our behavior and thinking. So as long as you are in negativity you are more likely to be a negative person. If you are surrounded with positivity you will surely have a positive attitude.</div> <div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 0.75em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"> Negative thinking is so addictive. It is very difficult to be safe from negativity that is being produced unconsciously by too much complaining. If you keep holding <b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">negative thoughts</b>, you condition your mind to expect negative outputs. Your neurons that build up your brain learn to predict the reoccurrence of negative stimuli. There are so many ways to shield the brain from negative effects of complaining. For coping up with this situation I would suggest you some tips.</div> <div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 0.75em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"> The way to lessen complaining is just listening and give vague answers like ohh, very sad etc. Pretend that you are listening. Don’t take it to your heart. You have to be supportive only. Be patient with yourself and other and don’t lose your sense of perspective. Too much complaining does not only affect your brain but also can breakdown your relationship. Being exposed to too much explaining can actually make you dumb. Negativity has detrimental impact on brain.</div> <div align="justify" style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 0.75em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"> Instead of complaining that the rose bush is full of thorns, be happy the thorn bush has roses. Instead of complaining try to resolve issues. Save yourself and your loved ones from mental torture. It is impossible to <b style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">stay away from complaining</b> but you have to consider the solution of problems on your own before complaining. Don’t react harshly. Be kind to yourself and others.</div>
