WEST PALM BEACH, FL, February 28, 2014 (Press-News.org) There is a lot of misinformation circulating in regards to varicose veins. The laser vein removal specialists at Medicus Veincare wish to clarify some of these myths about varicose veins with a dose of the truth.
Truth #1: Varicose veins are a common issue. Roughly 25 million Americans currently have varicose veins in their legs.
Truth #2: Varicose veins are caused by Venous Reflux Disease, otherwise known as Venous Insufficiency. In this condition, blood does not flow back properly from the legs to the heart, causing blood to pool in your legs.
Truth #3: Venous reflux disease and other vein diseases are progressive and can become increasingly painful and debilitating.
Truth #4: Varicose veins caused by Venous reflux disease are linked to genetics. If your parents suffered from varicose veins, you are statistically more likely to have varicose veins yourself.
Truth #5: Varicose veins can progress more quickly with obesity, occupations that require prolonged periods of standing and pregnancy. They cannot be directly caused by simple things like crossing your legs.
Truth #6: Treatment for varicose veins has improved significantly even over the last several years. Vein treatment center Medicus Veincare can help you to remove your painful varicose veins through a variety of minimally invasive outpatient procedures that will have you back to your regular activities the same day.
Truth #7: Your insurance may cover your varicose vein treatments. Often the pain associated with varicose veins makes their treatment a medical necessity, which in turn means that your insurance may cover it.

The Space Double-Whammy: Less Gravity, More Radiation
2014-02-28
Astronauts floating weightlessly in the International Space Station may appear carefree, but years of research have shown that microgravity causes changes to the human body. Spaceflight also means exposure to more radiation. Together, microgravity and radiation exposure add up to pose serious health risks. But research is not only making space safer for astronauts, it's helping to improve health care for the Earth-bound as well.
One of the effects of space radiation is damage to DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, the genetic material in nearly every cell of our bodies. ...

Nobelist James Watson proposes an unconventional view of type 2 diabetes causation
2014-02-28
Cold Spring Harbor, NY – At 85, Nobel laureate James D. Watson, the co-discoverer of the double-helix structure of DNA, continues to advance intriguing scientific ideas. His latest, a hypothesis on the causation of type 2 diabetes, is to appear 7 pm Thursday US time in the online pages of The Lancet, the prestigious British medical journal.
Watson's hypothesis, which is featured as the Lancet cover story in the U.S. print edition dated March 1-7, 2014, suggests that diabetes, dementias, cardiovascular disease, and some cancers are linked to a failure to generate sufficient ...
High-calorie feeding may slow progression of ALS
2014-02-28
Increasing the number of calories consumed by patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) may be a relatively simple way of extending their survival. A phase 2 clinical trial led by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) physicians found that ALS patients receiving a high-calorie, high-carbohydrate tube-feeding formula lived longer with fewer adverse events than participants who received a standard formula designed maintain their weight. While the small size of the trial indicates results need to be interpreted with caution, the authors are optimistic that improved ...
Why and how anti-retroviral therapy works even against HIV cell-to-cell transmission
2014-02-28
The discovery of direct cell-to-cell transmission of HIV, and the finding that some anti-HIV drugs don't seem active against virus that spreads that way, have caused questions and concern. A study published on February 27th in PLOS Pathogens tested a panel of anti-HIV drugs for their ability to suppress cell-to-cell transmission of the virus. The results reveal differences between different drugs, explain why and how anti-retroviral therapy (ART) does work, and have implications for the prevention of drug resistance as well as the development of new effective anti-HIV drugs. ...

2014-02-28
Early but not advanced forms of atherosclerotic plaques in the vessel wall disappear when the levels of 'bad' cholesterol are lowered, according to a study in mice from Karolinska Institutet, Sweden. The findings, published in PLoS Genetics, indicate that preventative cholesterol-lowering treatment could prevent more advanced, clinically relevant plaque to develop.
Almost half of all deaths worldwide are caused by strokes and heart attacks. The main underlying cause is atherosclerosis, where fat accumulates in the blood vessel walls in the so-called plaques. Atherosclerosis ...
