Blood in urine, is it chronic kidney disease?


There are lots of people have this question, because many diseases can cause blood in urine. If you want to find the answer, just have a check to know the red blood cell deformation rate. If the deformation rate is more than 60%, that is renal hematuria which is caused by chronic kidney disease. Otherwise, the reason may be to urolithiasis, urinary tract infection, tumor, and so on.

Many of us love the hot kick of a curry searing with chili peppers and ginger. Some can't stand the burn.

But spice-phobes should consider a change of heart - since new research shows these two ingredients combine to create a compound that fights cancer.
The finding, from the American Chemical Society, builds on previous studies that suggested a property in chili peppers (capsaicin) fuels tumor growth.
However, according to the new research, capsaicin can be turned into a cancer-fighting property when combined with ginger's pungent compound 6-gingergol.

Ginger has long been touted as a health food, recommended to patients for everything from a cold to a severe disease as it stimulates anti-inflammatory cells.
Over several weeks, the ACS researchers fed mice prone to lung cancer either capsaicin or 6-gingerol alone, or a combination of both.
During the study period, all of the mice that received only capsaicin developed lung carcinomas while only half of the mice fed 6-gingerol did.
Surprisingly, an even lower percentage - only 20 per cent - of the mice given both compounds developed cancer.
The researchers also dug into the potential molecular underpinnings of how the compounds interact to lead to this effect.

Three experts weigh in on the subtle ways your little one might be asking for your help.

THEY ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FUTURE.
Kids with anxiety often worry about what's going to happen and if they're going to be okay. While they might not be able to truly verbalize these fears, they might frequently try to ease their minds by coming to you with questions about the future. "Children often include their parents in their anxiety by asking for and seeking out reassurance," says Dr. Janine Domingues, a clinical psychologist in the Anxiety and Mood Disorders Center at the Child Mind Institute in New York City. If your child is beginning to ask a wealth of questions that begin with the words "what if," take note.
THEY'VE STARTED EATING A LOT MORE OR A LOT LESS.
Abnormal behavioral symptoms of any sickness are often the ones that parents notice first, and behavioral symptoms of anxiety are no exception, says Dr. Aarti Gupta, a family psychologist and the clinical director of TherapyNest in Los Altos, California. Just like when she's battling an illness that makes her stomach upset, your child might push away food (or even eat more of it than usual) when she's feeling anxious.
THEY'RE OFTEN IRRITABLE AND THROW OVER-THE-TOP TEMPER TANTRUMS.
Dr. Debra Kissen, the clinical director of the Light on Anxiety Treatment Center in Chicago, says that children will often seem irritable and aggressive as they attempt to process the complex emotions that come with an anxiety disorder. She also says children with anxiety might exhibit a "low frustration tolerance" - meaning their reactions will seem disproportionate to the severity of the situations they're dealing with, and their temper tantrums might seem over-the-top.
THEY SUFFER FROM FREQUENT HEADACHES AND TUMMY ACHES.

Although these physical symptoms might not seem directly connected to the mental health problem that is anxiety, all three of our experts point to frequent headaches and stomachaches as common signs of the disorder. These physical reactions are the direct result of your child's body responding to the danger they perceive, Dr. Domingues says.

If you’re anything like me, you wake up in the morning, hit the ground running

If you’re anything like me, you wake up in the morning, hit the ground running, work through lunch, and only stop thinking about your job when your head hits the pillow. So, needless to say, I occasionally have days where I’m stressed out of my mind. You may think that your day is too jam-packed with meetings and events to find the time for relaxation…and you’d be wrong. Believe it or not, you can take measures to reduce your stress levels that will only take 45 seconds of your time. Here are ten tips that can help you de-stress in record time. 1. Read a Poem Take 45 seconds to savor a single haiku, or read over your favorite sonnet. Beautiful language can really twist your mind in a way that helps to push away the cares of the day. And even if poetry isn’t really your thing, you might find enjoyment in reading something with a humorous bent. Think Shel Silverstein, Ogden Nash, or Dr. Seuss. 2. Blow Off Some Steam Get up and get moving, just for the amount of time it takes to hum a couple rounds of “Happy Birthday”. If you can burn off some of that nervous energy, you’ll feel energized, refreshed, and far more mentally capable of handling the stresses of your day. If you can get some sun in during those precious few seconds, so much the better. Never underestimate the power of fresh air and sunshine to improve your mood.

Gone are the days when people throng out of office blocks for a quick bite at lunch

Gone are the days when people throng out of office blocks for a quick bite at lunch. In Chinese cities today, busy office workers have their meals delivered after a few simple touches on a smartphone. The process takes a few minutes, and who can resist online discount? But do the mouth-watering pictures on the phone match the sanitary conditions we expect? Recent investigations by Xinhua and other media outlets reveal worrisome findings. In theory, online catering platforms require restaurants to post pictures of their business license and health certificates online where customers place their order. While most comply, some flounder and post blurred or fake images. While the authorities have not yet received any reports of major food safety cases, there are unverified comments left on these platforms complaining about diarrhea and worse. China had 688 million Internet users by the end of 2015, with more than 90 percent using smartphones. The country has strict food safety regulations, but the proliferation of kitchens and restaurants makes supervision more difficult. Last year, the national legislature amended its seven-year-old Food Safety Law, adding provisions to govern online vendors. Confronted with Xinhua's findings, both meituan and ele.me declined to comment. Baidu repeated that it requires all registered vendors to post authentic licenses on their web wage and runs regular checks to ensure compliance.

Flight delays typically lead to frustrated passengers and harassed airline staff

Flight delays typically lead to frustrated passengers and harassed airline staff, but a one-hour hold-up to the only flight between Ganzhou and Guangzhou last Tuesday was accepted without complaint. In order to transport a passenger carrying donated human organs, China's Southern Airlines delayed the only direct service from Ganzhou to Guangzhou. The airline also provided a priority boarding service by using the "green passage", guaranteeing a safe and fast transfer of the organs, according to Chinanews. The airline contacted Ganzhou airport in east China's Jiangxi Province as soon as it was made aware that a doctor named Liao was to transport human organs on the flight. 航班因等待转运捐献器官延误 旅客没有一人抱怨 The airline's staff arranged for the other passengers to check in ahead of time and warned that the flight would be delayed – but everyone accepted the situation without complaint. The "green passage" service meant that Liao took only three minutes to go through the security check and take his seat – along with his precious cargo. After the flight arrived in Guangzhou, crew members helped Liao to get off the plane and out of the airport, ensuring the organs reached their intended recipient as soon as possible. China's health, police and transportation authorities jointly announced the establishment of a "green passage" on May 6, 2016 to ensure the fast and safe transfer of donated human organs.
