Bird flu or avian influenza is strain of influenza viruses which is caused by viruses adapted to birds. H5N1 is a subtype of the avian influenza virus. This subtype has been a cause of concern over the recent years. It is a potential pandemic threat which has claimed more than a total of 200 lives from different countries.
The concern lies with the possible mutation of the H5N1 with human flu viruses which is potentially fatal because it would be able to spread earlier and could become more deadly than the current strains present.
A vaccine is now developed for bird flu coming from the human strain but this is not yet available commercially.
Your hand and wrist are in trouble if you continue working at the computer all day. It’s medically called CTS or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The pain is centered in your forearms and they sometimes feel numb. Does it mean that you need to see a surgeon soon? Hmmm, well, not necessarily… Surgery won’t fix the problem You just need to rest your hands regularly. Stay off the computer or limit your use to 20-minute sessions with 5-10 minute breaks. Use a keyboard tray or adjust your chair so the keyboard and mouse are below your elbows and your wrists are level.

Worried of getting old and having wrinkled skin? Here’s something for you:
Ever since Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) have been found to reduce tiny facial lines and fade age spots on the skin, beauty products worldwide are including them in skin creams in the highest concentration the FDA will allow. AHA is made from the juices of citric acid fruits. Higher and more effective dosages are used by Dermatologists and other medical professionals for out-patient skin treatments. AHA reverses sun damage and imparts a more youthful glow to the skin but it cannot get rid of deep lines or sags. - Source
So, what fruits contains citric acid? As the name implies, citric acid is present in citrus fruits including lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruits. It is also present in pineapple. Why worry? When these fruits are easily seen and available in the market anywhere in the world….
Although it is sometimes difficult to determine when a medical procedure is considered surgery, a medical treatment that involves a cutting of a patient’s live tissue (e.g., hair and nails are dead tissue) is usually considered surgery of some sort. A medical procedure involving a drilling of live tissue in a body would often be considered surgery, but mere piercing of a body is not necessarily surgery since piercing is often done for taking samples or draining fluids from or injecting materials into the body, or setting up intravenous drip, and usually does not require suturing to close the pierced opening. Even if a medical procedure or treatment does not include cutting or drilling of live tissue in a body, it may be considered surgery, if it involves common surgical procedure or a setting, such as use of an operating room or table in a hospital, anesthesia, antiseptic conditions, typical surgical instruments, and suturing or stapling. Surgery is considered an invasive procedure. Examples of surgery without cutting the body may include debridement or closing (suturing or stapling) an open wound or applying skin grafts if done under typical surgical conditions. Many types of more complicated or involved surgery are obviously considered surgery, since they involve common surgical procedure or setting as mentioned above. A medical procedure may be surgery even if not all of the typical surgical conditions or procedures mentioned above are used. -Source
Technology has revolved so much and because of this, everything seems to be possible. Researchers and scientist made up a revolution in revitalizing a deteriorating  heart though test has not been scheduled yet for humans. Organ decellurization is been tested to dead rat heart. They remove the cells from the heart, leaving behind only the nonliving fibers that give the heart its shape. Once the cells grew and functions like a new tissue, they inject cells from neonatal and newborn rats’ hearts into the left ventricle and propel oxygen and nutrients through the structure of blood vessels to support cell growth. After a couple of days, the heart is already pumping.
A report released by the WHO and UNAIDS last year stated that studies show that male circumcision can lower the risk of transmission of HIV from female to male. There is half a chance that circumcised males can acquire HIV from women as compared to their uncircumcised counterparts. But the study, as of the present, is inconclusive when it is the other way around – the protection that women can get from their circumcised partners. The study is also limited to the traditional sexual intercourse e.g. penile – vaginal sex.
Although male circumcision can reduce HIV transmission risks from females to males, it is stressed that it is not a hundred percent protection. It only lowers the risk of transfer not totally prevent it.
When you say cancer, people have the notion that it is impossible to treat. Analysis showed that one person every hour of everyday is being diagnosed with cancer. By means of advanced technology, there’s an accurate and powerful way to kill brain tumors.  The conventional medication is radiation treatment. This prescription helps in decreasing the size of the tumors. Lately, doctors revealed a new way of curing this ailment through Perfexion — a more targeted way to deliver radiation. The goal of this healing technology is to give a very high dose of radiation to the targeted tumors and simultaneously lower the amounts of radiation outside the area. They say that Perfexion works best on smaller tumors and can get into the tumors deep inside the brain. Treatment time last about 15 minutes..
