Being overweight can increase your chances of having bad cholesterol in your blood. Due to high cholesterol, a person can suffer from heart related diseases. According to doctor's research, a 10-pound increase in body weight produces 10 milligrams of cholesterol in the body. Consuming unhealthy and calorie-rich foods also leads to obesity in individuals. Junk foods, such as burgers, fries, and pizza, are high in calories, which ultimately lead to this disorder. Research results show that low-liquid fructose can significantly affect glucose metabolism and lead to metabolic syndrome and fatty liver syndrome. Metabolic syndrome also includes type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. One of the main reasons people develop this disorder is lack of physical activity. Most people have jobs that involve little or no physical activity for most of the day. As a result, such individuals do not use their calories and these excess calories lead to obesity. The best way to treat this disorder is to use Phentermine 37.5mg Obesity Pills Online.

A study by scientists in a UK university has shown the scale of the prevalence of a condition that can lead to various cardiometabolic diseases. The study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine journal on Tuesday (January 4) has prompted calls for changes to healthcare policy after researchers revealed, for the first time, the scale of the impact of the condition associated with benign tumours that can lead to type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Up to 10 per cent of adults have a benign tumour, or lump, known as an 'adrenal incidentaloma' in their adrenal glands which can be associated with the overproduction of hormones including the stress steroid hormone cortisol that can lead to type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Previous small studies suggested that one in three adrenal incidentalomas produce excess cortisol, a condition called mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS). An international research team led by the University of Birmingham carried out the largest ever prospective study of over 1,305 patients with adrenal incidentalomas to assess their risk of high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes and their cortisol production by comparing patients with and without MACS.

Doctors are highly driven professionals seeking exceptional care and service for their clients. Some doctors may have private practices, while others serve in different capacities in various healthcare institutions. Doctors are among the busiest professionals in the field and may also experience burnout if they're not careful. Fortunately, there's an alternative to such a scenario, and more and more healthcare professionals are looking into it. Locum tenens jobs are on the rise as doctors, and other health workers seek to take advantage of various benefits that can lead to a better career. While doctors hold down their private practice, they also work with other institutions and colleagues to provide expertise to patients in other locations. This can be rewarding as the doctors can improve their craft tremendously. Here are some reasons to consider if you wish to explore locum tenens posts. Better control and schedule flexibility While career stability is quite important for most doctors, it can be intense for some and lead to burnout. When taking a locum tenens position, a doctor will have the opportunity to explore other horizons that present themselves. They can see other patients and be exposed to scenarios that may not be present in their practice. Locum posts also allow you to set your schedule and be flexible with your working hours as necessary. It can lead to better performance and job satisfaction, too. Opportunity for better income Accepting a locum position may entail getting extra shifts at another hospital or clinic. It may also mean getting some time with patients during your off days. You can receive a significant bump to your income as you get to earn more aside from your regular salary. If you're looking to pay off student loans, build a college fund for your kids, or set up an account to buy a house, working with locum posts may be the key.

Being overweight can increase your chances of having bad cholesterol in your blood. Due to high cholesterol, a person may suffer from heart related diseases. According to doctor's research, a 10-pound increase in body weight produces 10 milligrams of cholesterol in the body. The body naturally needs cholesterol, and the liver makes the waxy substance to build the body's cells. Cholesterol is very useful for the body to produce vitamin D, which is essential for a healthy immune system. Fat creates triglycerides, which build up in our liver, creating too many triglycerides, which lead to the possibility of high cholesterol. If there is too much LDL (low-density lipoprotein) in the blood, which accumulates fat, this waxy substance can clog your arteries, leading to a heart attack or stroke. Research results show that low-liquid fructose can significantly affect glucose metabolism and lead to metabolic syndrome and fatty liver syndrome. Metabolic syndrome also includes type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. The best treatment for reducing obesity is to use OTC obesity medications, such as Phentermine 37.5-mg, which you can easily buy from Pharma Health online.

The recent announcement that Royal Mail will be partnering with distance selling pharmacy (DSP) giant pharmacy2U highlights how standards of regulatory enforcement are being ignored to accommodate the DSP model. The brunt of these double standards hinges around the levelling down of temperature enforcement standards by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) which demands mapping must be audited from the point of dispensing to the patient. The MHRA has a well recognised duty to ensure medicines reach patients in a safe condition. The current anomaly appears to turn a blind eye to this step in the supply chain at the point the wholesaler releases goods to the pharmacy hub. Equally the training on delivering medicines safely and effectively direct to patients should apply fully to all hubs including DSPs. Why is it that DSPs are being treated differently to bricks and mortar pharmacies? It's essentially the same patients receiving the same medicines from the same wholesalers. A further regulatory disparity exists around how parcels must be "tracked and signed for" to be reasonably certain medicines are delivered into the hand of the intended recipient, as per existing regulations. Clearly an untracked, unsigned package cannot be guaranteed to finish in the hands of the intended recipient. There is a very real possibility that such omission could lead to community pharmacy closures which will, in turn, lead to unemployment and a reduction in the care services. At a time when integrated care systems have just gone live, the removal of vital support services leading to further inequalities is the wrong message for both providers and patients alike.

Head injuries are a serious matter. They can lead to long-term health problems and even death in some cases. This article will go over some unexpected scenarios that often lead to head injuries. AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT Car accidents occur often, and you probably think you're safe from minor ones if you have your seatbelt strapped in. However, many people have suffered airbag injuries from a car accident because of their position at the moment it deployed. This may not seem like a big deal, but airbags inflate quickly, at around 200 miles per hour, and with great force. If your head is too close to the airbag when it deploys, you can suffer from some serious injuries. So what can you do to avoid this? First, make sure that you're sitting in an upright position with plenty of space between you and the steering wheel. Additionally, try to keep your headrest in an upright position so that it can provide some support if an accident does occur. And finally, be aware of airbag deployment times; they typically deploy within 0.08-0.14 seconds after an impact occurs.

There are several aspects that must be taken into account. There are instances where two different kinds of medicines lead to side effects, hence you must see how you are managing your medication. Let us have a look at some of the best methods to ascertain proper medication management: LEARN ABOUT MOST COMMON MEDICATION MISTAKES This is one of the first things that one should know about simply because when you know what can lead to mistakes, you do not make mistakes. Some of the mistakes that most patients make may be in the form of taking too much medication, mixing up home remedies with prescribed drugs, and non-adherence to medical requirements. Evidence suggests that such mistakes lead to the ineffectiveness of medication, side effects, and overdose. USE ORGANIZATION TOOLS It may get very difficult to keep a track of the time and number of pills you need every day. It is especially true for elderly people who have a need for polypharmacy which is the use of five or more medications on a daily basis. Organization tools such as pill-box, alarm watch, and water bottle can be really helpful. For example, a pill-box can be used to keep your medicines safely and separately as per their categories such as medicines for diabetes in one part and medicines for pain in the other. This would help you easily manage your medication routine without a miss.

The UK must act swiftly to fend off competition if it wants to build the world's leading life sciences sciences hub, a new report suggests. A year on from the launch of the government's life science vision, the report commissioned by the the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry said although achieving the ambition remained feasible, the UK would need an attractive business environment because its competitor countries were becoming more adept at attracting investment. To achieve the ambition of the vision, the PwC-produced report suggested raising pharmaceutical R&D investment in the UK to build a 'stronger manufacturing and research infrastructure', alongside better investment in, access to and uptake of innovative medicines. It said the UK would also need to adopt a renewed approach to the priority healthcare challenges identified in the government's 'Life Science Vision', which would mean cutting the overall burden on health of dementia, cancer, cardiovascular and respiratory disease and mental health. The report quantified the size of the prize if the vision was implemented in full and the UK could emulate the successes of leading EU countries, which included: £68 billion in additional GDP over 30 years, owing to increased R&D investment £16.3 billion additional annual GDP from increased pharmaceutical exports Supporting 85,000 additional jobs Up to 40 per cent decrease in disease burden across the whole UK - for areas like cardiovascular disease, mental health conditions and Cancer. Reduced variation in speed of access to new medicines within three months of licensing for all NHS patients.

According to the American Psychological Association, "Anger is a completely normal, usually healthy, human emotion." Mild forms of anger can include dislike, displeasure or irritation. Anger can be a reaction to criticism, threat or frustration or it can be a secondary response to the feelings of loneliness, sadness or fear. But full-blown rage can be destructive. It hampers our judgment, mental clarity and capability of thinking which can lead us to do and say irrational, unreasonable and hurtful things. Chronic uncontrolled anger can create serious problems in personal relationships and work and degrade an individual's overall quality of life. Therefore, controlling anger is extremely important for the sake of yourself and your loved ones. Anger management can be of great help to those who are not able to control their rage and emotions on their own. 7 Ways in Which Anger Can Lead to Physical Problems Anger is not just a state of mind. It has serious impact on our physical health as well. Anger can increase heart rate, trigger blood pressure levels and shoot up adrenalin and noradrenaline.
