No health shield from vitamin D pills: study | HEALTH - geo.tv

 No health shield from vitamin D pills: study



 HEALTH AWARENESS WELFARE (HAW)

PARIS: Vitamin D supplements have no significant effect on preventing heart
attack, stroke, cancer or bone fractures, according to a review of
scientific evidence published Friday.

Researchers led by Mark
Bolland of the University of Auckland in New Zealand looked at 40
high-quality trials to see if supplements met a benchmark of reducing
risk of these problems by 15 percent or more.

Previous research had seen a strong link between vitamin D deficiency and poor health in these areas.

But
 the new study, published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology,
strengthens arguments that vitamin D deficiency is usually the result of
 ill health -- not the cause of it.

Its authors say there is
"little justification" for doctors to prescribe vitamin D supplements as
 a preventive measure for these disorders.

"Available evidence
does not lend support to vitamin D supplementation and it is very
unlikely that the results of a future single randomised clinical trial
will materially alter the results from current meta-analyses," they
write.

Vitamin D is a key component for healthy bones, teeth and muscles.

It is produced naturally when the skin is exposed to sunlight or derived from foods such as oily fish, egg yolks and cheese.

In
 March last year, British scientists, in a comparison of 4,000 women,
found that vitamin D supplements taken in pregnancy made no difference
to the child's bone health.

And in September 2012, researchers at
New York's Rockefeller University saw no evidence that vitamin D
supplements lowered cholesterol, a factor in heart disease, at least
over the short term.

In contrast, a November 2012 investigation
into pregnant women who lived in high-latitude, northern hemisphere
countries with long, dark winters found a link between low levels of
natural vitamin D and an increased risk of multiple sclerosis (MS) in
their offspring.

For these women, taking vitamin D supplements to
offset the effects of long periods without sunlight could be advisable,
according to that research.most

 Pakistan could delay polio-free goal: Gates



HEALTH AWARENESS WELFARE (HAW) :Pakistan could delay polio-free goal: Gates

/ /NEW YORK: Billionaire software baron turned philanthropist Bill Gates
warned on Tuesday that violence in Nigeria and Pakistan could set him
back in his goal of eradicating polio by 2018.

In 2013, The
Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation -- a charity that funds medical
research and vaccination drives -- made wiping out the crippling disease
in the next six years its top priority.

But the Microsoft
founder, who has poured a large part of his personal fortune into the
drive and encouraged fellow billionaires to contribute, said in an AFP
interview that major challenges remain.

India, once the country
with the worst problem with polio -- a mainly childhood disease that
causes the wasting of the limbs -- has just celebrated three years polio
free.

But the disease remains endemic in Afghanistan, Nigeria and
Pakistan. There are also reinfections in war-torn Somalia and Syria
that threaten to break out into areas once free of the scourge.

"Nigeria
and Pakistan are going to be tough. The Pakistan violence is evil,"
Gates told AFP in New York on Tuesday, complaining that local conspiracy
theories have undermined innoculation drives.

"The truth is the
vaccine is to help kids. And spreading rumors and attacking the workers
on this -- those people don´t have justice and truth on their side.

"And
so we may miss by a year or two if we can´t help out with that. The
president, the religious leaders a lot of the supporters of that country
are trying to get the truth out.

"Just hours before Gates spoke,
three polio workers were shot dead in the Pakistani city of Karachi,
forcing the suspension vaccination in the whole southern province of
Sindh.

Last week the World Health Organization warned that
Pakistan´s northwestern city of Peshawar was the world´s "largest
reservoir" of the disease.

Opposition from the Pakistani Taliban to immunization and an insurgency in northern Nigeria have also hit hard.

"This
is really going to come down to Nigeria and Pakistan," Gates told AFP.
"Everyday we´re talking about what´s going well, what´s not, how we
track the teams, where new approaches can help out so we´ve intensified
the effort," he added.

Last November the Global Polio Eradication
Initiative said Nigeria had 51 of the 328 cases of the disease worldwide
in 2013, compared to 121 out of 223 in 2012.

But numbers are up in Pakistan. According to the WHO, Pakistan recorded 91 cases of polio last year compared with 58 in 2012.

"Even in Pakistan it´s somewhat of an increase but still small numbers so we´re very close," Gates told AFP.//

Tortoise beats rabbit in China pet ski-off

// BEIJING: A tortoise beats a rabbit in a skiing competition held for pets and their owners in northern China, a report said on Tuesday.

Cats and dogs faced off against a menagerie including a rooster and a yellow duck in a race to the finish line on snowy slopes in China´s Hebei province, the state-run China News Service said.

The 40 human competitors were allowed to place their animals on skis or sledges, or could guide the pet with a lead while skiing, the report said.

In an unexpected outcome akin to an ancient Greek fable, a tortoise beat a rabbit, with the shelled reptile eventually claiming third place overall, the report said.

"Because the rabbit loved jumping and didn´t follow its owner´s commands, it was overtaken by the tortoise," it said.

The tortoise -- which would normally be expected to hibernate during the winter -- apparently hitched a ride on its owner´s ski equipment, the report added.

Pictures showed a yellow duck taking to the slopes in a fetching red neck tie, attracting curious stares from two dogs, before being held aloft by its owner who clutched a red certificate of honour after it waddled over the finish line...........//

_____________________

A.R.Shams's Reflection:

The tortoise wins the race by virtue of his 'slow and steady' performance in non-stop persistence.

HEALTH AWARENESS WELFARE : 

Karachi: 8-yr-old Thalassaemia patient with rare blood type looking for donors : 

// KARACHI: Afifa, 8, suffers from an inherited form of anemia caused by faulty synthesis of hemoglobin, which calls for frequent transfusion of fresh blood so that the patient could survive.

Thalassaemia is not at all a rare medical condition, but unfortunately, the type of Afifa’s blood certainly is.

This mum-dad’s little princess, who only wants to live a healthy life, was diagnosed with this genetic blood disorder five years back when she was just three. The news had blown the loving parents away, but the worst was yet to come.

“It came as a blow that benumbed us for a while, but then we made up our mind to do whatever we can to keep out child alive and healthy. We knew it’s a lifelong struggle, but we were resolved”, said her father, Wajahat Ayaz.

A tearful Ayaz said when Afifa’s blood type report arrived it got the better of us.

FACT CHECK: H/h, also known as Oh or the Bombay Blood Group, is a rare blood type. This blood phenotype was first discovered in Bombay, now known as Mumbai, in India, by Dr. Y. M. Bhende in 1952.

“We were told that hers is a blood group so rare that its donors could be counted on the fingers of one hand. At first we just broke down, but the next moment collected all the shards of our shattered world to make sure we grew old watching our child grow up, come what may”, Ayaz said further................//
