When it is said about allergic reactions, then plant pollen, dust, animal hair, oranges, etc. come to mind. But, it turns out there are lucky (or miserable) people, which has allergy… to alcohol.

It appears quite the same way as other types of allergic reactions. Red face, hands, torso, appearing of the skin rash, itching, attacking rhinitis, and in severe the suffocation can be the result.

If you were among such people then it is adviseв to you to renounce alcohol at all. Is this unrealistic? Then try to change the drink.

With allergies on red wine, try to switch to white wine, brandy, whisky. Intolerance of red wine, incidentally, occurs most often. Approximately 10-15% of people. But most often not the alcohol causes allergic reactions, but polyphenolic compounds in wine and other beverages.

So the French therapists recommend people suffering from allergic to strawberries, to pour it with natural wine (red or white), give a little stand and eat. In this case allergic reaction to strawberries would not occur “.

Diabetics will twice more possibly suffer from heart attack, blow and will die of cardiovascular disease, the physicians of the hospital Gentofte in Denmark have defined. The researchers have analyzed a condition of 71 801 people with the diagnosis of diabetes and almost 80000 people who have suffered from heart attack. At patients with diabetes of the first or second type the raised risk of cardiac problems with serious consequences for health was observed. For women with diabetes the risk of heart attack was in 2,62 times higher, and for men - in 2,42 times higher.

Doctors assure, that for sick of diabetes it is vitally important as soon as possible to take preventive measures for prevention of cardiovascular diseases, supervising levels of cholesterol and glucose in blood and indicators of arterial pressure. Besides, it is necessary to refuse from smoking, the excessive use of spirits and to increase physical activity - according to experts, only in this way it is possible to lower probability of cardiac disorders and risk of premature death.

Painful sensations in a wrist, numbness or an itch in hands, become stronger in the evening, to keep subjects in hands or inability to print on the keyboard for a long time - all this can be symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.

From this disease in the USA, for example, suffer more than two millions people, the experts mark.

According to data of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, carpal tunnel syndrome is very widespread disorder in the USA. More than half of people with such symptoms belong to working class that means that five or six patients of this group test physical activity once a week. Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most widespread disease connected with professional work of the person.

Annually in the USA it is conducted about 260 000 operations, which necessity is caused by an aggravation of carpal tunnel syndrome. According to statistics of AANS, more than 25 thousand operations are conducted by neurosurgeons. Besides neurosurgeons, who establish the diagnosis and if necessary perform an operation, physiatrists can also take part in medical process and other doctors, for example.

Carpal tunnel syndrome arises more often at an inflammation of the central nerve of a wrist. “This disease is the most widespread among women at the age from 40 till 60 years. Also from carpal tunnel syndrome suffer those people in which work the hands are directly involved, for example, pianists, hairdressers, operators of computers, artists, sculptors and even neurosurgeons”, - James R. Bean, president of AANS, marks.

As experts declare, the earlier the person will address to the doctor with disturbing symptoms, the more effective there will be the subsequent treatment. If disease will be neglected, the probability of necessity of carrying out of operation considerably raises.

About medical properties of olives it was known since ancient times. Olives are an excellent antioxidant, and olive oil, rich with mono-non-limiting fats, protects heart from “bad” cholesterol. The scientists have recently established as well that olives prevent cancer development.

In 2005 experts from the Colombian university have proved, that olives promote decrease in rate of growth of prostate cancer cells on 80 %.

In 2006 scientists of Queensland have confirmed the previous opening and also have added that olives prevent development of cancer of a mammary gland.

The antioxidants contained in olive leaves, are in 5 times more effective than vitamin C, struggle with free radicals, which damage the cells of an organism.

The Australian dieticians have come to a conclusion that antioxidant properties of any drink can be increased repeatedly, having added in it some olive leaves.

Revolutionary opening was made by the scientists of University of Granada in Spain, having proved, that in an olive oil and plant leaves contain the substance, capable to reduce sphere of action of a HIV-infection to 80 %.

The daily dose of olive oil in a food allowance should make 20 g.

Good mood strengthens health, the British scientists consider, Reuters has reported referring to the results of research, published in “American Epidemiology Magazine”.
It was spoken not once about interrelation of mood of the person and work of heart, however now the scientists from the Great Britain can give reason for this statement, using the results of the conducted researches. Within the limits of research, which was conducted by doctor Andrew Steptoe and his colleagues from University College of London, have been surveyed about three thousand adult British.
Scientists have proved that at people who are in high spirits, the maintenance of hormone cortisol which is also named “a stress hormone” is lowered. The raised maintenance of cortisol in a human body can lead to the raised blood pressure, adiposity, decrease in immunity and other problems with health.
People from 50 till 74 years have taken part in the research. During one day scientists of University College of London measured level of cortisol in an organism of people, which later was connected with mood, in which the patient was at that moment. Also scientists measured level of S-jet protein and interleukin 6 which are considered as irritability indicators.
Scientists have found out, that at men and women who were in high spirits, the level of cortisol was lower, even despite such factors, as old age, smoking and excess weight. Also researches have shown, that at women in good mood the level of S-jet fiber and interleukin 6 goes down. Scientists should still find out how the sex of the patient is connected with the level of this “irritation indicator”.

Such expressions as “blood ran cold in my veins” can be perceived henceforth literally - German doctors have established, that strong worry and nervousness affect the process of blood curling, increasing risk of a thrombosis and heart attack. Analyses of blood of patients with a syndrome of the raised uneasiness, both social and physical phobias have shown that worries make negative impact on a blood-groove, promoting excessive blood circulation in the damaged vessels and raising risk of blocking of coronary arteries.

Physicians from the University of Bonn consider that the excessive emotionality is injurious to cardiac health, increasing probability of heart attack and forming preconditions for diseases of heart. At psychological pressure the speeded up unstable palpitation, formation of blood clots in arteries and infringement of cardiac function was marked at people.

The unique grade of black tomatoes has appeared on sale in the Great Britain. It is interesting at not even because of its color, but by the ability … to increase a sexual inclination.
According to “RBC”, unusual property of black tomatoes was found out by zoologists. Observing behavior of turtles on Galapagos Islands where these vegetables grow, they have found out, that these animals copulate much more often, than usually. Having tried to understand the reasons of their “concupiscence”, scientists have found out that its reason is eating of black tomatoes. It was also found out, that these vegetables contain a considerable quantity of vitamin C and other antioxidants.
Naturally, “pioneers” have immediately tried to get benefit from their opening and have adjusted delivery of black tomatoes in an English city of Salisbury. They have been put on the market at once in 30 city shops and were advertised as “especially useful product increasing sexual possibilities of men and women”. Thanks to active advertising campaign tomatoes have been sold fantastically quickly, and the second party delivered in a city has arrived already in 100 shops. In the near future it is planned to adjust their sale in the whole country.
However, it is necessary to notice, that while anybody has not proved, that black tomatoes have the same an effect on people, as on turtles. So it is not excluded, that suppliers are waited by a stream of charges from the buyers, who “bought” that competently conducted advertising campaign.

Scientists have defined the role of two proteins, which cause tolerance of pathogenic bacteria to certain antibiotics.
Resistance of bacteria to antibiotics can become an obstacle on the way of effective treatment. New research is a step forward on the way of working out of therapy, which could struggle with resistibility of bacteria at cellular level. But before the researchers will be able to create such preparation, it is necessary to study thoroughly the processes arising at the conflict between the weapon and a target, the experts confirm.
The analysis conducted by scientists at Ohio State University has shown, how the resistance of bacteria to antibiotics is formed. Two genetically various forms of MprFs are involved in this process - multiple peptide resistance factors. As the results of research have shown, these proteins are the main in the mechanism of change by bacteria of an electric charge of their membranes. This process is a basis of development of stability of bacteria to influence of preparations, experts mark. Also this process is activated in case of necessity of adaptation to a new environment of a bacterial cell.
“Both albumens, considered by us in the research, are theoretically an ideal target for a medical preparation”, - says Michael Ibba, the senior lecturer of Microbiology Department in Ohio State University. – “So, if to influence on these albumens and not to give them a chance to be activated, it is possible to provide a high susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotics”.
The scientists have proved, that stability of bacteria to preparations is caused by their ability to change a charge on a membrane surface from negative to positive whereas many antibiotics bear a positive charge on themselves that in normal conditions allows them to connect to negatively charged bacteria and to influence on them effectively.

The American scientists stake on sea gifts as on one of the most promising components for working out of effective medicines.

Using the unique technique of spectrometry, allowing to study sea organisms, experts of the Research Center of oceanography Scripps in San Diego, schools of pharmaceutics and pharmaceutical sciences Skaggs and the Center of sea biotechnology and biomedicine identified powerful natural structures in mollusks and others sea invertebrates, which will help to struggle with chronic diseases.

By means of new technology the scientific team has precisely defined groups of known and unknown organic molecules in sea sponges and seaweed, having considered their size, structure and properties. Thanks to the done work the researchers have created a card of medical properties of samples of microorganisms. Biologists are assured, that sea environment offers real riches of new sources for the future therapeutic products, in particular against cancer tumors.

During the last decades physicians worldwide used aspirin or acetylsalicylic acid for preventive maintenance and decrease in risk of diseases of cardiovascular system. However everyone knows that long or even short-term reception of these preparations is accompanied by a set of unpleasant by-effects.

 For example, one of the most widespread by-effects of aspirin are problems with stomach, an anaemia and bleedings, including internal. Meanwhile the Italian researchers declare that they have managed to create absolutely new kind of aspirin, which can appear to be safer in treatment of various diseases, than its traditional analogue.

 In laboratory conditions the efficiency of a new kind of aspirin and absence of by-effects have already been proved. Now the Italian scientists are planning to conduct further tests in clinical conditions. Physicians pin their big hopes on this preparation as cardiovascular diseases are still the most widespread in the developed countries of the world.
