Eating vegetables reduces the risk of acute pancreatitis



Medical News.A recent study showed that eating vegetables reduces the risk of acute pancreatitis is associated with gravel.

Held researchers Asthsae on repeat foods for more than 80.019 men and women ranging in age from 46 years to 84 years. Been tracking the risk of acute pancreatitis (non-linked injury gravel) for 12 years, and the participants were divided into groups according to their consumption of fruits and vegetables.

During the study period, were registered 320 cases injury (216 men and 104 women) pancreatitis acute is linked with gravel, and the researchers found inversely correlated clear between the amount of consumption of vegetables and the risk of pancreatitis acute is linked with gravel, where there was a decrease incidence by 17 % with every two additional two servings of vegetables a day.

The possibility of injuring people who ate more than alcohol Cup day and people who have a body mass index greater than 25 by 0.29 compared to people who have less consumption of vegetables was likely to suffer acute pancreatitis 0.49.

Did not show any clear correlation between the consumption of fruits and risk of acute pancreatitis is associated with gravel.

Former smokers more susceptible to intestinal diseases



Medical News. Recent U.S. studies have shown that the probability of infection colitis and Crohn's disease increased when former smokers compared to people who had never smoked, even after two decades to stop him.
Been working questionnaire behaviors of different public health underwent a 230.000, and after taking a number of factors into account such as age, weight and hormone therapy is proven that 90% of smokers and 35% of smokers previously exposed to injury Crohn more than non-smokers, as proved to be women smokers to a whole pack of cigarettes a day for a period of 10-25 years getting an opportunity diagnosed with Crohn's disease at a rate 1.7 times higher than non-smokers, but smokers of the same amount for a period of over 25 years will become more their chance of developing at a rate 2.3 times.
Did not prove study link direct smoking injury inflammation colitis or Crohn's disease, and the interruption of women smoking increases the risk of exposure to colitis by more than three times compared Palmdkhanat current and that over 2-5 years to drop him, and 20 years after decreasing probability to 1.5 times.
The researchers used the results of the previous study in the search for new ways to treat ulcerative colitis for smokers precedents as nicotine or cigarette smoking moderately, and study also revealed on the presence of environmental factors affect the disease autoimmune still search scientists based on the composition of cigarettes that stimulate colitis.

Carob tree leaves to eliminate the bacteria that cause food poisoning



Medical News. A report has been published in a magazine competent in Agriculture and Food Chemistry that leaves carob which represents a variant of chocolate health and caffeine-free and theobromine is vulnerable alarm represents a source naturally rich antibiotic effective in eliminating bacteria causing the disease Allisteriaat which represents a patterns of food poisoning serious .

The researchers stressed that the increasing numbers of bacteria resistance to antibiotics boosted research that focused on natural compounds that preserve food and control the disease-causing microbes and private Allistiria monocytogenes responsible for the most serious types of food poisoning linked to eliminate ginseng carob.

Previous research included conducting tests on carob leaves extract has proven its ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria Allistiria monocytogenes in agriculture laboratory, thus opening new doors for the development of other tests to study the effect of carob extract in meat and fish.

Cholesterol-reducing drugs may reduce the risk of esophageal cancer







Medical News. A recent study showed that antihypertensive medications for cholesterol levels in the body,
"statins" may reduce the risk of esophageal cancer, especially for patients with Barrett Bmre.

There are two types of esophageal cancer; squamous cell carcinoma or glandular cancer. And Barrett's esophagus is one of the complications of gastroesophageal reflux disease, which increases the likelihood of glandular cancer, the most common type of cancer of the esophagus.
Barrett's esophagus is considered a pre-cancer, where the lining of the esophagus, a channel carrying food from the throat to the stomach have been damaged by stomach acids.
Although the non-proliferation of esophageal cancer glandular However, the number of injury on the rise, where are diagnosed 16,000 cases of esophageal cancer each year in the United States, 60% of these cases, the type of glandular cancer. And only one of the 5 patients with this type of cancer survive for five years after diagnosis, and this Van prevent injury of the key things for this kind of cancer.
The researchers compared data from 13 previous studies, which included more than 1.1 million patients, including 9.285 diagnosed with esophageal cancer. The analysis found that statins reduced the risk of cancer by almost a third, and the longer the time to use the patient's statin was raised better protection.
The researchers given to the effect of aspirin in reducing the risk of developing esophageal cancer. When discussed in infected Bmre Barrett found that patients who took statins and aspirin together was esophageal cancer risk less by 72%.
The researchers said that these results encourage large random carry out experiments to assess statin drugs on patients who have a high probability of cancer of the esophagus.
The factors that increase the risk of esophageal cancer in addition to injury Barrett Bmre, male sex, and obesity and smoking.

Relationship bacteria Crohn's disease in children



Medical News. A recent study showed that specific types of bacteria can cause Crohn's disease.
The cause of Crohn's disease infections in the digestive system and symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, aching joints and skin problems, fever and bleeding from the rectum.
The researchers measured the levels of these bacteria for 21 healthy baby.
The patients with Crohn's disease light to have high levels of these groups of bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract compared to children with Crohn's disease moderate to severe and children who did not have cancer.
This suggests that these types of bacteria may play a role in causing the injury of the disease, and these findings may lead to the development of new treatments that could target intestinal bacteria.
The researchers said they deliberately choose examine Alvet children newly diagnosed Crohn's disease, as they believe that this may increase the chances of detection of species that may be involved in the onset of Crohn's disease.
The researchers said the factors that may affect the bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract such as the use of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs or smoking and drinks, which are less likely to existence in children.
