On-X Valve: The Next Generation Aortic Valve
The On-X valve is a newer generation mechanical bileaflet valve. Its key features include the use of pure pyrolytic carbon (devoid of silicon), a length-to-diameter ratio similar to a native valve, an inlet flared orifice, a leaflet opening up to 90 degrees, a shorter leaflet closing angle, a 2-point leaflet contact, and an actuated pivot. These features have translated into increased strength, improved valve hemodynamics, reduced hemolysis, and thrombogenicity. The 2014 American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology guidelines for the management of patients with valvular heart disease recommend an internation...

In the Raw: To Cook or Not to Cook?
Imagine never again savoring the smell of baking cakes or charbroiled steak.
Could you? Why would you?
Yet some people worldwide are turning away not only from meat and processed food, but also from cooking.
Welcome to the raw food diet.
As the Standard American Diet becomes more fat-laden, sugar-sated, and processed, the prevalence of metabolic disorders, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are soaring.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), obesity now affects nearly 35 percent of the population of the United States, over 29 million people have been diagnosed with t...

It Won't Be Easy to Reduce the Salt in Our Diets
You might want to take the latest campaign to reduce our daily consumption of sodium with a grain of salt.
On second thought, maybe you shouldn't.
Officials at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have announced two-year and 10-year voluntary goals to slowly lower the average daily intake of sodium by Americans.
The reason is simple. Excess sodium consumption can lead to higher blood pressure and other health problems.
Despite the obvious motivation, nutritionists interviewed by Healthline say these goals may not be easy to obtain.
Our propensity for packaged foods and dining out at restaurants has created a salty h...

What FDA ’s new sodium guidelines could look like in practice
With nine out of 10 U.S. adults and children consuming too much sodium, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has released draft proposed voluntary guidelines to encourage companies to significantly reduce sodium in processed and restaurant foods by 2020. Some of the recommended changes may be eye-opening for patients who don ’t closely monitor their sodium intake. The need to decrease sodium consumption
High sodium intake has a direct correlation to high blood pressure, which leads to heart disease and stroke —the most common causes of death in the U.S., contributing to more than 1,000 deaths per day. “...

Ritalin Could Trigger Heart Problems In Children
Ritalin and similar forms of ADHD medication may trigger abnormal heart rhythms and increase heart attack risk in some children soon after they start taking the drug, according to a new study.
This connection was especially true for children who were born with heart disease.
According to the study, published in the British medical journal BMJ, kids had an increased risk of heart attack between eight and 56 days after starting methylphenidate, a stimulant most commonly sold as Ritalin, although this heightened risk didn’t reach statistical significance. The researchers could find no evidence of a heightened...

Identification of "Multiple Components-Multiple Targets-Multiple Pathways" Associated with Naoxintong Capsule in the Treatment of Heart Diseases Using UPLC/Q-TOF-MS and Network Pharmacology.
Authors: Ma X, Lv B, Li P, Jiang X, Zhou Q, Wang X, Gao X
Abstract
Naoxintong capsule (NXT) is a commercial medicinal product approved by the China Food and Drug Administration which is used in the treatment of stroke and coronary heart disease. However, the research on the composition and mechanism of NXT is still lacking. Our research aimed to identify the absorbable components, potential targets, and associated pathways of NXT with network pharmacology method. We explored the chemical compositions of NXT based on UPLC/Q-TOF-MS. Then, we used the five principles of drug absorption to identify absorbable ingredien...

South Carolina Is FED UP
When asked to speak for a group of third and fourth graders about making "healthy choices," I picked the topic that most children have in common ... sugar! I began our discussion with one simple question.
"If your parents came into the room and saw you eating out of the sugar bowl, what would they say?"
One young man stated it best. "Are you crazy? Put that spoon down!"
"Why would your parents say that?" I asked.
Another little girl could barely contain herself. Waving her hand furiously she blurted out, "Because all that sugar is bad for you!"
Out of the mouths of babes. When I talk to children, teens or adults,...

Why You Should Avoid Statins
At my anti-aging clinic, I continue to wage war against what I call the “medical-industrial complex.”
And I do it for one reason only – I care more about my patients than I do about profits.
Big Pharma clearly takes the opposite view. And now it seems these pharmaceutical behemoths won’t be happy until every man, woman and child is popping anti-cholesterol pills.
Researchers at Duke University recently issued a report recommending that even children and people as young as 30 should be on statins, if they have just slightly elevated cholesterol levels.1
And why wouldn’t researchers at Duke recommen...
