The epidemic of multiple sclerosis to blame the weather

Residents on a group of Scottish islands people have the world's highest incidence of multiple sclerosis. Scientists have found that this should not blame the Vikings.

Researchers from the University of Edinburgh found that one out of every 170 residents of the Orkney Islands in Scotland there multiple sclerosis . This is the highest incidence in the world. As scientists believe, this tendency to develop an incurable neurological disease is due to a bad heredity locals.

Orkney Islands in the past have often been used by the Vikings as a base for his campaigns, and under Norwegian control, they remained until 1231. Half of the local population has ancestors natives of Scandinavia, and there are places where there is a very high incidence of multiple sclerosis .

But other than that, the cause of "anomalies Orkney" is also a lack of vitamin D, most of which is produced in the body naturally when exposed to sunlight.

Are you afraid of a heart attack? Do not draw the curtains!

Daylight can reduce the risk of heart attack, as scientists have found the University of Colorado in the United States. In addition, the patients in hospitals frequently in contact with natural light, the smaller the damage they cause infarcts.

Forget about anticoagulants and aspirin - Treatment of heart attack It can be carried out much cheaper and simpler. According to doctors in this matter will help to strong light (you can even natural daylight), which significantly reduces the risk of heart attack, and also reduces its effects. The more patients with myocardial be put in hospitals to wide windows without any blinds and draw the curtains, the faster they get better.

According to experts, this relationship is explained by the human biological clock, which just react to light and darkness. These clocks are regulated proteins in the brain, but these proteins are also present in the heart. As the scientists, these proteins play a key role in the elimination of the damage caused by heart attacks. Consequently, light can be used for prevention and Treatment of heart attack .

At the time of the heart attack is almost deprived of oxygen. Due to the lack of the usual "fuel" it switches to standby, ie glucose. Without this change of heart cells begin to die and the heart itself gets severely damaged. The above-mentioned proteins play a crucial role in this transition, and therefore can make more efficient metabolism of heart.

Animal studies have shown that daylight activates this type of proteins and causes less damage to the heart during a heart attack. That's why scientists polagayuznt that infarktnikov should be put in a well-lit chamber closer to the windows, or to actively use artificial lighting.

By 2050, electricity will be appreciated not less water, because her need to grow by 80%. Trying to meet the needs of the population, the country-owners of fossil fuels will spend it as that will lead to more of the greenhouse gas emissions (1, 5 times) and the deterioration of air quality.
"We have already encountered in the overfishing of fish. The problem of water shortage, too many familiar firsthand. These phenomena do not occur independently of each other, and it should be taken into account ", - said the Secretary General of the OECD Angel Gurria.

The patch is placed on the skin of a patient previously treated with a special cream, and then turn on. The device uses the principle of electromagnetic therapy - Photochemical reaction kills the tumor. Until recently, this treatment method was as follows: patients in the hospital for three chasa waited cream will act, and then passed through a 20-minute session of the intense light treatment. But using Ambulight PDT   everything becomes faster and more efficiently. The cream is applied in a hospital, and then they return to their daily routines include the device and tested treatment.

The creator of the device Ayfor Professor Samuel said the main advantage of this efficiency Ambulight PDT . "Where it is more convenient for the patient, if he can move, not lie in bed, - said Professor Samuel. - It can accelerate itself Treatment of skin cancer .

Feminine vanity against solariums

No horror stories about cancer will not stop the girls traveling in the solarium for tanning and beauty. The researchers found that stop young ladies can be only one way - by appealing to their vanity women.

Analogs of medicines in pharmacies Russia

The last decade of the twentieth century Russian pharmaceutical market is flooded as modern drugs and their equivalents, issued by companies under various trade names. And their prices differ sharply.

With a lack of funding public health care, many drugs have become available much of the population of the Russian Federation, more frequent purchases significantly cheaper generics, generics   - analogs of drugs   expensive. According to the WHO, more and more developing countries and countries with budget deficits in the health resort to this recourse.

As you know, the latest active ingredients for pharmaceuticals developed by the research centers of large pharmaceutical companies and research firms specializing in drug discovery. The process of developing a new original drug is laborious, takes an average of 5 to 15 years and cost hundreds of millions of dollars. The validity of a patent is 20 years.

Thereafter, any pharmaceutical company, registered and certified, can obtain the right to produce its own drug, and the active component is yavlyaetsya the same substance. But it will be Generic - generics .

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) generics   - Is reproduced drugs are interchangeable with their proprietary counterparts introduced (sold) on the market after expiry of patent protection for the corresponding patented drug. Generics are a copy of the original drugs, the term of a patent which had already expired, and they are produced in strict compliance with all existing rules and standards.

Production of generic drugs is much less expensive than the original drug. The advantages generics It includes not only low cost, but high (over 20 years) clinical experience.

For example, a proprietary drug Aspirin Bayer - very expensive, but all the other tablet form, the active ingredient of which is acetylsalicylic acid, are considered to be generic and cost a penny.

Experts note that the new drugs are more effective and, therefore, should provide a better quality of life for patients, as developed when conventional drugs do not give positive results.

In our country, this problem is very urgent, because the constantly marked lack of modern Russian analogs of drugs foreign production, plus the doctors usually do not have adequate information about the replacement of expensive drugs for quality, but cheap domestic generics.

Of course, the doctor must be sure that such substitution will not cause damage to the health of the patient. Replacement drugs should be strictly therapeutically equivalent, that is the main feature of a high-quality generics. This is achieved by constant quality control of the drug.

Benefits generics expressed in that:

- Cost generics are always much lower than the original products, ie they are more accessible to patients with low and average incomes;

- analogs of drugs   allow doctors to prescribe adequate therapy even in underdeveloped countries, this use of modern generics expensive original drugs;

- Generics allow the physician and patient choice;

- The emergence of a large number of generics in the pharmaceutical market is the main factor forcing the company as much as possible to implement new promising projects.

- They are well studied in terms of efficacy and safety.

For our country, the use of generic drugs in clinical practice is the output in the current difficult situation of providing drugs of the Russian population, especially those with low and middle-income countries.

Indicative is the fact that in Russia, according to statistics, among the leaders turned 12 original products, generics and 10 8 complex medicines. In the United States, in contrast, provide the greatest momentum original medicinal drugs.

However, generic drugs are the leaders on the Russian pharmacy market only if they have no rivals among the well-proven original preparations. Of course, most are related to non-prescription drugs. This is likely the result of a massive advertising of specific brands of drugs.

Compete with the original drugs with the widely advertised brands are only capable of high quality branded generics, whose names also began to acquire strength of the brand.

Pharmacists predict that generic companies will continue to compete for space on the Russian pharmaceutical market, and advances in medical science will become more accessible for the population of Russia.
