Sunflower seeds - (rich in soluble fiber and folic acid) A boy awaits heart replacement Mexican boy awaits heart replacement By JON GAMBRELL, Associated Press Writer Fri Apr 20, 4:51 PM ET LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - An 8-year-old boy from northern Mexico is hospitalized in Arkansas awaiting a possible replacement for his diseased heart. Adrian Flores Saucedo and his mother flew to Little Rock by jet from San Antonio, where he had stayed for 60 days at Methodist Childrens Hospital of South Texas. Residents there raised about $500,000 for the boy, who suffers a viral infection that is eating away at his heart tissue. “In many children, it just gives you a common cold, but in certain settings, it will cause an inflammation of the heart,“ said Dr. Elizabeth Frazier, head of the cardiac transplantation program at Arkansas Childrens Hospital. “It permanently damages the heart muscle; it actually kills the heart muscle.“ Arkansas Childrens Hospital agreed to accept Adrian after several hospitals rejected him as a patient. The Little Rock hospitals 25-bed heart unit already has more patients than beds after also taking in cases from Louisiana in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. But Frazier said admitting the boy would not put too much strain on their program. Palmira Arellano, a spokeswoman for Methodist Childrens Hospital, said no hospitals in San Antonio do heart transplants for children and she did not know why other hospitals rejected Adrian. But she acknowledged that concerns for transplants extended beyond simply saving a childs life, but also whether Adrian could receive adequate care and medication on his return to Mexico. Currently, the boy and his family are in the United States on a humanitarian visa, but they plan to return home if Adrian receives a new heart, which could take days or spill over into months. Frazier said a doctor who cares for transplant patients in Monterrey, Mexico, more than 200 miles from the boys home in Piedras Negras, would provide follow-up visits for the boy if he receives a heart transplant. Piedras Negras is about 140 miles from San Antonio. “We will work with the Mexican government, which had already contacted us and will support him in whatever way is needed, be it financial, transportation, visas or whatever is required,“ Frazier said. After arriving Thursday, Adrian quietly played with toys in a room at the hospitals pediatric intensive-care unit. His mother, Christian Lizeth Saucedo-Valdez, stood by, shoulders slumped from fatigue. Saucedo-Valdez said she still has not explained to Adrian why he remains in the hospital, fearing she might scare him more. Instead, she tells him everything will turn out fine in the end. But the money the family has received for Adrians care surpassed anything she thought could happen, with envelopes with small bills and checks coming from Mexico, Texas, California and Virginia. “We feel so content,“ his mother said. “So many people have given money to help us pay for this operation.“ College drinking College drinking may increase heart disease risk By Martha Kerr Fri Apr 20, 3:30 PM ET NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A study presented at the American Heart Associations 8th annual conference on Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology underway in Chicago, shows that heavy drinking by college students increases levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. A team at the College of St. Benedict in St. Joseph, Minnesota, led by undergraduate Elizabeth Donovan, surveyed 25 college students about behaviors that can affect CRP levels. Students were asked to complete a survey that included questions about their smoking habits, medication use, recent weight loss, alcohol consumption, and other factors. Six students did not drink and 10 were classified as moderate drinkers, defined as 2 to 5 drinks once or twice a week. Nine students were heavy drinkers, defined as 3 or more drinks at one sitting 3 or more times a week or 5 or more drinks at one sitting 2 or more days a week. The average CRP level for the group as a whole was milligrams per liter, which indicates an overall a low risk for heart disease. However, this increased rapidly, with moderate drinkers having CRP levels of milligrams per liter and heavy drinkers having CRP levels of milligrams per liter. Male drinkers had higher average CRP levels than did female drinkers, although the difference was not statistically significant. In an interview with Reuters Health, Donovan pointed out that the relationship between alcohol consumption and CRP levels was shaped as a J curve, with slightly lower-than-average CRP levels seen with small amounts of alcohol consumption, which then rose sharply as drinking became heavier. Many college students may be beginning a pattern of drinking that is increasing their risk of heart disease, “which is an additional reason to be concerned about drinking during college,“ Donovan asserted. “College-aged students need to know that they are increasing their risk of cardiovascular disease by drinking early in life.“ soap gives caffeine kick Bar of soap gives caffeine kick in the shower Fri Apr 20, 4:02 AM ET LONDON (Reuters) - Inventors have created a soap infused with caffeine which helps users wake up in the morning.

Lend a Hand to Mothers Around Lend a Hand to Mothers Around the World Posted by Paula Goldman on Thu, Apr 12, XX, 6:57 pm PDT When I began research for the International Museum of Womens Motherhood exhibit, I talked with mothers from all walks of life - from working mothers in Lagos, Nigeria to stay-at-home moms in San Francisco. Mostly, I was not surprised by what I found. Whether in Miami or Mozambique, almost all mothers struggle to find balance between providing for their kids and pursuing their own personal dreams. And almost all mothers will tell you that motherhood is sometimes grueling and exhausting - but one of the best gifts of their life. One story I found, however, did shock me. Its the story about global maternal health - a silent pandemic that is killing millions of mothers and children every year, needlessly. Every year, million mothers and infants die from complications of pregnancy and childbirth. Thats close to 40,000 deaths per day - over 1600 an hour, and more than 26 per minute. Most of these deaths happen in the developing world, and most of them are preventable with technologies that have been available for decades. (By way of reference, AIDS kills million people every year - so maternal health is a massive problem, and worthy of our rapt attention.) As Mothers Day approaches this year, women from around the globe are joining forces to raise awareness about this tragedy. We want to turn this situation around to ensure healthy pregnancies and deliveries for all mothers and children. Will you join us? Here are several easy ways you can make a difference for mothers around the world: 1. Educate yourself: Right now, at the International Museum of Womens Motherhood exhibit, we feature rare inspiring, and educational stories from women around the world who have faced maternal health problems with courage and strength.
