Green tea prevents diabetes
Most of us knew the benefits of green tea and now in a recent research its found that Green tea could be useful cure to prevent diabetes. Green tea has several antioxidants that prevent cell death, and possibly even ward off cancer.
Dr. Stephen D. Hsu (Medical College of Georgia in Augusta) and colleagues tested the effects of green tea's predominate antioxidant known as EGCG in laboratory mice with type 1 diabetes and Sjogren's syndrome, which damages moisture-producing glands causing dry mouth and eyes. EGCG also dramatically slowed the development of diabetes in the rodents. At 16 weeks, they found, 25 % of the mice given the green tea compound had developed diabetes, compared to 67 percent of the mice given water. At 22 weeks, 45% of the EGCG group had diabetes, while 78% of the control group did. Hsu and his team also found that the salivary gland cells that were under autoimmune attack were actually multiplying, but EGCG slowed this proliferation. Such rapid cell division has also been shown to occur in psoriasis.
The current study supports earlier research showing EGCG's impact on helping prevent autoimmune disease.

Americans celebrate
As soon as the news was flashed that Barack obama won every where churches,bars, street, hospitals, college, university all walks of people celebrate and each other and even the African celebrated as his victory in the U.S. presidential race.
- Elementary school teacher Sheneka Mayes said: "This is definitely history in the making, this night will be burned into my memory and into the memory of my children."
Millions of people around the world waiting for this day and this election will be recalled a memorable one. Eyes on every one with a benchmark question who will be next President?An experience campaigner in politics (Mccan) or only a 13 years experience person in this arena (Barack obama).
It's will not be false to say that it was all about his uniquecharacteristics that American's like him most and chose to lead them in upcoming 4 years.
- U.S. Rep. John Lewis of Georgia said: "This is a great night. This is an unbelievable night, tonight we can celebrate and thank God almighty.
- Williams (who lives in a transient hotel a few blocks from the polling station at the Los Angeles Mission) said "This is history in the making. I wanted to be part of that for once in my lifetime someone really cares about the small people out there."
- Ward said: "It's a very exciting to see people who are often forgotten and disenfranchised engaging in one of the most basic rights that we have as American citizens"
- McCann said at his last speak: "Barak obama is my president, though we have differences I will be with side when he needs me"
Churches: Christians generosity
Churches: Christians generosity
- Smith, of the University of Notre Dame, and Emerson, of Rice University said: "What good in the world US Christians could do with an additional $133.4 billion, year after year, is almost unimaginable, simply astonishing, nearly beyond comprehension".
Smith said there is no simple explanation but factors range to spend money on themselves to earn it and enjoy the life belief on simple philosophy.
Lung cancer risk
Lung cancer risk
Two genetic variations increase a person's risk of developing lung cancer by up to 60% an international research team reported. The research team has found another gene that raised lung cancer risk and latest finding was relevant for both smokers and non-smokers.
- Paul Brennan, a cancer epidemiologist at the World Health Organisation's International Agency for Research on Cancer said: "We are looking at differences in the DNA that makes you more or less likely to develop lung cancer".
Lung cancer's ultimate destiny is death and according to the American Cancer Society 975,000 men and 376,000 women die every year by lung cancer. Researchers discovered a region on the 5th chromosome containing 2 genes TERT and CRR9 where they believe variations can boost the likelihood of lung cancer by as much as 60%. Cancer is caused by defects in DNA each time a cell divides, these telomeres become a little more frayed. When they are too worn out, the cell dies. But when cells become cancerous, they produce telomerase, which can renew the telomeres and lets the cells reproduce out of control, eventually to form a tumor. So implicating the TERT gene in a specific cancer can help lead to a better understanding of how cancer develops and boost the design of new drugs to stop tumors, Brennan added.
Hubble telescope
The NASA officials said Hubble telescope is now in business but preparing spare equipment to keep the orbital observatory running will force NASA to delay its final servicing mission beyond February. For taking an image of gravitationally locked galaxies Hubble was shut down since in September and attempting to a backup system a problem occur with another computer again shut down the observatory.
But engineers were finally sort out the problem.The problems delay to launch of space shuttle Atlantis in October .NASA at one point was planning to abandon the telescope, which is hugely popular among astronomers.
Teen pregnancy to sexy TV shows
Teen pregnancy to sexy TV shows
- Researchers said: Entertainment like exposing or adult picture influence on children and even teens who watch sexy programs likely to become early pregnancies and adopt aggressive behavior. It has been study 3 years and found that TV programming apparently plays an impact of teens approach.
Such a research made on 12 to 17 and in finding who watched the most sexy programming were at double the risk of becoming pregnant or causing a pregnancy compared to the 10th who watched the fewest such programs like comedies, dramas, reality programs and animated shows. Comedies had the most sexual content and reality programs the least specially sexy jokes.
Beside in an another study teens who play violent video games, a tendency were observed to change their behavior through their family and society. In consequence their aggressiveness may let them to act crime.
Vertex hepatitis
Vertex Pharmaceuticals showed an impressive ability to knock out the virus in patients for the serious liver disease. In a study its Prove of the previous treatment who have failde with pegylated interferon and ribavirin, 52% of those who received telaprevir saw the virus fall to undetectable levels and remain there 12 weeks after stopping treatment. The percentage with undetectable virus 24 weeks after stopping treatment will yield the critical measure known as (SVR)sustained viral response.
Jason Kolbert, an analyst with Susquehanna Financial Group said: "Efficacy in non-responders is huge. No one should have any doubt about whether this drug works" .
Hepatitis C is a blood borne liver disease that can lead to chronic liver disease, liver cancer, cirrhosis and death. The virus affects an estimated 3.2 million people in the United States alone
and some 170 million worldwide.
In that study, 69% of patients in the telaprevir combination group had the virus fall to undetectable levels following 24 weeks of treatment, compared with a 46% SVR rate after 48 weeks of standard treatment.
Now if looking for the side effects then you seen skin rash and anemia. Several companies are developing potential rival medicines but telaprevir is widely expected to be the first in the market and potential demand of it is increasing.
