Health is a unity and harmony within the mind, body and spirit which is unique to each person, and is as defined by that person. The level of wellness or health is, in part, determined by the ability to deal with and defend against stress. Health is determined by physiological, psychological, socio-cultural, spiritual, and developmental stage variables.
Immunity Immunity articles1. Immunity :: The ins and outs of how neutrophils combat microbesImmune cells known as neutrophils produce reactive oxygen intermediates (ROIs) to combat infection with microbes that can cause diseases such as pneumonia. New insight into the molecular pathway regulating neutrophil production of ROIs in mice has been provided by Wojciech Swat and colleagues at Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis. 2. Immunity :: Mathematicians help unlock secrets of the immune system A group of scientists, led by mathematicians, has taken on the challenge of building a common model of immune responses. Their work will radically improve our understanding of the human immune system by allowing all the scientific disciplines working on it to have a common reference point and language. 3. Immunity :: Occupational exposures may be linked to death from autoimmune disease A new study examined the possible associations between occupation and the risk of dying from systemic autoimmune diseases and found that occupational exposures in farming and industry may be linked to higher death rates from these diseases. 4. Diabetes :: Omega-3 fatty acids reduce risk of type 1 diabetes Dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids was associated with a reduced risk of pancreatic islet autoimmunity and thereby reducing the risk to develop diabetes in children, revealed by researchers in a recent study published in JAMA. 5. Diabetes :: Consumption of omega-3 fatty acids associated with decreased risk of type 1 diabetes Preliminary research suggests that in children at increased risk for type 1 diabetes, dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids was associated with a reduced risk of pancreatic islet autoimmunity, which is linked to the development of diabetes, according to an article in the Sept. 26 issue of JAMA. |
