who undergo a common type of barbaric surgery to lose weight appear to have a significantly higher risk of abusing alcohol two years after the procedure, according to researchers the University of Pittsburgh.

The need to know about fibromyalgia

The Fibroblast FMis a mysterious disorder, the underlying causes of which are not very clearly understood. Unfortunately, it is quite common, especially among women aged 20 to 50. Individuals affected by the disease experience long-term, widespread pain and tenderness in the joints, muscles, tendons and other soft tissues.
The condition has been extensively studied by experts across the globe for decades - many theories have been formulated, only to be refuted years later. Diagnosis is a result of exclusion, rather than defining physiological characteristics.
Several hypotheses exist that link fibroblast to three underlying conditions:
The  Oxidation stress is the stress placed on the body from exposure to radiation and other substances that cause the formation of free radicals. Oxidation stress may be reduced by increasing your antioxidant status. Free radical scavengers may be squelched with adequate intake and supplementation of vitamins A, D and E, as well agglutination and co-enzyme Q10. In fact, a 2011 study showed significant improvement of fibroblast symptoms with increased levels of vitamin D – in excess of 50ng/ml.

A better way to heal surgical wounds

What starts out as a small problem after surgery can sometimes lead to an infection that can get out of control and, in many cases, prove to be deadly.
In the U.S., infections cost about 25 million dollars every year. Dr. Manny Alvarez, senior managing health editor of Fox News.com, recently sat down with Dr. John Latins, vascular surgeon and head of the wound center at St. Luke’s Roosevelt Hospital in New York City to talk about a new technology that is keeping patients safer after surgery.
PICO is new type of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NP WT) that is different from traditional systems because it is pocket-sized and single use.
Previous NP WT systems used a large, bulky canister to collect the fluids that drain from surgical wounds. But the PICO system uses a palm-sized pump and a high-tech dressing that helps to manage fluids more easily.
