Seven out of 10 girls aged 12 to 13 have had the vaccine to protect against cervical cancer, figures showed today.
Overall, 70 per cent of school girls in Year 8 in England had all three doses of the jab, data from The NHS Information Centre revealed.
A total of 87 per cent of girls in Year 8 had at least one dose during the school year 2008/09, which means some were waiting for follow-up doses after the data was calculated.
The latest research found that the risk of the most aggressive type of testicular cancer to men who smoke cannabis. According to the research men who smoked at least once a week or who had smoked since adolescence were twice as likely to develop the disease as those who didn’t use the drug, the U.S. researchers found.
Dr Stephen Schwartz, who led the study, said their study still have many question not been answer. At the first they though that marijuana use may be associated with testicular cancer.
‘What young men should know is that first, we know very little about the long-term health consequences of marijuana smoking, especially heavy marijuana smoking – and second, our study provides some evidence that testicular cancer could be one adverse consequence. So in the absence of more certain information, a decision to smoke marijuana recreationally means that one is taking a chance on one’s future health.’ explain Dr Stephen Schwartz.
From the study at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Centre in Seattle, Washington, they conclude that men who smoked cannabis were 70 per cent more likely to be diagnosed with the disease and men who smoked at least once a week or who had smoked since adolescence were twice as likely to have testicular cancer, they report in the journal Cancer.
Another fact about coffee just showed by reseacher which is a cup of coffee dramatically could increases the risk of hallucinating. Seven cups of instant coffee a day for healthy young men and women will make them to hear and see things three times more likely than those who limited their intake to less than a cup. According to them caffeine from coffee could boosts levels of cortisol, a stress hormone.
Confirming the link could lead to new treatments for those who suffer severe hallucinations, including schizophrenics, some victims of child abuse and the recently bereaved. Too much of caffeine also will cause people more likely to think they could sense the presence of ghosts, the journal Personality and Individual Differences reports.
a moderate intake of four to five cups a day has been shown to be safe for the general population and may confer health benefits said The British Coffee Association. The Food Standard Agency recommends that pregnant women limit themselves to 200mg of caffeine a day to avoid any worse or bad impact.
In UK, Chickenpox cases is quite high where about around 300,000 cases a year. From that figure, most of them make full recovery but several hundred suffer complications such as blood poisoning, pneumonia, and infection by flesh-eating bacteria.
Because of that reason many expert panel of doctors, nurses and scientists are recommend all children and pregnant need routinely vaccinated against chickenpox. Not only they also advised to combining the jab with the MMR triple vaccine, creating a four-in-one shot.
Actually in the U.S., Australia and Germany, children are already routinely vaccinated against chickenpox and Irish guidelines advise that pregnant women be given the jab if they are not immune.
‘What we can’t do is predict the children who are going to die from it or get quite seriously ill and end up in hospital.’If you want to prevent the deaths, the only way to do that is to immunise everybody.’ Said Professor Adam Finn, a expert on child health and vaccination.
This is what the reseacher just found this week which is by taking vitamins for a year that really cant help to lower your overall risk of suffering cancer. This news pulished in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, then it followed with two other important studies that also concluded that antioxidant supplements did not prevent cancer.
‘Although a healthful dietary pattern rich in fruits and vegetables may lower cancer risk, such benefits cannot be mimicked by simply popping a few vitamin supplements’ said Dr JoAnn Manson, who carried out the research for Harvard Medical School in Boston, America.
He then added: ‘Simply taking antioxidant supplements is insufficient to prevent cancer. People should take more natural plant foods which are rich with many nutrients including but not limited to antioxidants.’
Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Beta carotene are antioxidants. Al this vitamins are believed to protect against damage caused by substances in the body called free radicals. Its’ really dangerous because that can harm our cells, tissues and organs. So what we need to do know is be careful and keep get the update for this news.
