Avances Científicos De La Biología:
La leche materna mata el VIH y bloquea su transmisión oral
Una investigación de la Universidad de Carolina del Norte (UNC, por sus siglas en inglés) ha analizado indagado en la causa por la que los bebés de madres con VIH que son amamantados no suelen estar infectados por el virus, y han descubierto en un modelo de ratón humanizado que esto se debe a que la leche materna mata el virus, y protege contra la transmisión oral de estas infecciones, según informa la revista 'PLoS Pathogens'.
Más del 15 por ciento de nuevas infecciones por VIH se producen en niños. Sin tratamiento, sólo el 65 por ciento de los niños infectados con VIH viven hasta su primer cumpleaños, y menos de la mitad llega a la edad de dos años. Aunque la lactancia materna se atribuye a un número significativo de estas infecciones, los bebés alimentados con leche materna no suelen estar infectados con el VIH, a pesar de la exposición prolongada y repetida.
"Este estudio proporciona una información valiosa sobre la asombrosa capacidad de la leche materna para destruir el virus, y prevenir su transmisión", afirma el doctor J. Víctor García, autor principal del estudio y profesor de Medicina en el Centro de la UNC para las Enfermedades Infecciosas, y el Centro de la UNC para la Investigación sobre el sida. García añade que el estudio "también proporciona nuevas pistas para el aislamiento de productos naturales, que podrían ser utilizados para combatir el virus".
García y sus colaboradores son pioneros en el modelo humanizado de ratón conocido como BLT, que se crea mediante la introducción de tejidos humanos de la médula ósea, el hígado y el timo, en animales sin un sistema inmune propio. Los ratones humanizados tienen un sistema inmunológico funcional humano, y pueden ser infectados con el VIH de la misma forma.
En el estudio, los investigadores determinaron, en primer lugar, que la cavidad oral y el tracto digestivo superior de los ratones tenían las mismas células que afectan a la transmisión oral del VIH, en los seres humanos, y que podían transmitir con éxito el virus a las crías, a través de estas vías. Sin embargo, cuando a los ratones se les administró el virus en la leche materna de mujeres VIH-negativas, el virus no pudo ser transmitido.
"Estos resultados son muy importantes porque muestran que la leche materna puede bloquear totalmente la transmisión oral de las dos formas del VIH que se encuentran en la leche materna de madres infectadas con VIH: partículas del virus y células infectadas por el virus", afirma Angela Wahl, investigadora en el laboratorio de García.
Según esta experta, "esto refuta la hipótesis del 'Caballo de Troya', según la cual el VIH en las células es más tenaz contra las propias defensas naturales del cuerpo, que las partículas del virus".
Por último, los investigadores estudiaron la efectividad de la profilaxis pre-exposición (PrEP) con medicamentos antirretrovirales. García y su equipo habían demostrado, previamente, que la PrEP es eficaz contra la transmisión por vía intravenosa, vaginal y rectal del VIH en ratones humanizados.
En este estudio, dieron a los ratones medicamentos antirretrovirales durante siete días (3 días antes y 4 días después de exponerse al virus), obteniendo una protección total contra la transmisión del virus.
Estos últimos resultados proporcionan pistas importantes para desarrollar tratamientos alternativos, que podrían ser utilizados para prevenir la transmisión. García concluye que, "comprender cómo se transmite el VIH a los lactantes y los niños, a pesar de los efectos protectores de la leche, nos ayudará a cerrar esta puerta importante para la propagación del SIDA".
One Way To Relax!
one Way To RELAX!
Want to relax? got any spare baby oil, lotion or cream? Well use these tips for lovely soft smooth hands and hand massage that will get you REALLY relaxed! :)
HOW TO:
First get your cream, lotion or oil. Make sure
you have only got a small amount on your finger.
Then massage it into the palm of your hand moving outwards to the fingers. Now turn over your hand and massage the back of the hand, making sure that you have covered the whole of your hand in the cream, lotion or oil. Repeat on the other hand!
TIP: if you are using the oil it can get a bit greasy and will take longer to massage in.
After the massage! :D

Avances Científicos De La Medicina:
La Hiperplasia Benigna de Próstata (HBP, HPB)
Tratamientos para la Hiperplasia Benigna de Próstata
El primer paso de tratamiento debe ser la disminución en la ingesta de líquidos antes de acostarse, y la moderación en el consumo de alcohol y de cafeína.
Los alfa bloqueantes (a1-receptor adrenérgico antagonistas) proveen alivio sintomático de los síntomas de la HBP relajando la musculatura lisa de la próstata y el cuello de la vejiga disminuyendo el grado de bloqueo en el flujo de orina. Las drogas disponibles incluyen la doxazosina, la terazosina, alfuzosina, tamsulosina. Viejas drogas, como fenoxibenzamina y prazosina no son recomendables para tratar HBP. Sin embargo, los alfa bloqueantes pueden causar eyaculación retrógrada dentro de la vejiga.
Los inhibidores de 5a-reductasa como el finasteride (que también se emplea para prevenir la caída del cabello) y dutasteride son opciones de tratamiento que atacan las causas del problema (el exceso de dihidrosterona). También puedes emplearse más efectivamente junto con los alfa bloqueadores. Existen estudios que sugieren evidencias sobre la eficacia de Serenoa repens (Palmito salvaje, o Saw Palmetto en inglés) para aliviar síntomas medios a moderados de HBP; una de ellas encontró una eficacia comparable del finasteride. Otras hierbas medicinales que pueden tener efectos positivos son el Hypoxis rooperi (pasto estrella) y pygeum (extraído de la corteza de Prunus africana).
Cirugía de Próstata
Generalmente cuando falla el tratamiento se requiere de cirugía para corregir esta condición de la Próstata, esta puede ser mediante la recesión transuretral de próstata (RTP), en la cual se elimina parte de de la próstata a través de la uretra. Sin embargo hay métodos alternos y nuevos procedimientos están en estudio.
Entre las nuevas técnicas quirúrgicas que pueden ser alternativas están:
- Ablación térmica con Holmium de la próstata" (HoLAP)
- Electro vaporización transureral de la próstata (ETP),
- Vaporización fotoselectiva de la próstata (PVP),
- Láser TURP,
- Ablación con láser visual (VLAP),
- Termoterapia de microondas transuretral (TUMT),
- Ablación de aguja transuretral (TUNA),
- Inyección de etanol
Terapia de Radiación Externa:
La radioterapia implica el uso de rayos X de alta energía o partículas como protones usados para destruir las células de cáncer y reducir los tumores. En la actualidad este tipo de tratamiento se está convirtiendo en una ciencia más refinada que simplemente apuntar y disparar. “Con la radioterapia de intensidad modulada, somos capaces de dividir los beams [rayos] en lotes de diferentes beamlettes cada uno con una intensidad ligeramente diferente, por lo que los beams de mayor intensidad alcanzan las áreas más gruesas de la próstata y los beams de menor intensidad cubren las áreas más delgadas”, dijo el doctor Andrew Lee, profesor asociado de radiación oncológica del Centro para el Cáncer MD Anderson de la Universidad de Texas en Houston. “Con los protones también podemos administrar la radiación con más control dentro del paciente. Esto resulta en una dosis alta para la próstata y una dosis menor para las áreas más sensibles como la vejiga y el recto.

Ingeniería Genética:
La ingeniería genética es un nuevo campo científico que tiene la capacidad de manipular genéticamente la composición característica de ADN que constituye específicamente una planta, un animal y hasta el ser humano.
* Esta poca convencional rama de la genética se ve orientada hacia dos campos muy concretos como lo son: La industria con el mejoramiento agrícola con respecto a los cultivos transgenicos y el campo medico con la manipulación y cambio del genoma humano para curra y prevenir enfermedades.
*Las modificaciones que realiza la ingeniería genética mediante técnicas innovadoras se refieren primordialmente a la alteración microscópica del material genético, donde se introducen, extraen, o duplican partes o complejos del mismo, lo que se denomina intervención artificial extranjera. Los resultados de la ingeniería genética son desarrollados principalmente para la mejora animal, vegetal y humana por medio de la obtención de virus, hongos, bacterias, entre otos microorganismos.
*Una de las grandes y beneficio de la ingeniería genética es que a través de sus técnicas se puede implantar “terapias” genéticas que estarían acercando a la humanidad al elixir de la vida o mejor dichos la posible cura eficaz para la mayoría de las enfermedades que atacan a los seres vivíos.
*El tratamiento genético podría llegar a curar enfermedades hereditarias, como la hemofilia o la fibrosis quística, causadas por genes ausentes o defectuosos. Una técnica de este tipo consiste en utilizar virus modificados genéticamente para insertar genes nuevos funcionales en las células de pacientes incapaces de segregar hormonas o proteínas necesarias para el normal funcionamiento del organismo.
*Otra técnica beneficiosa que se derivación de la ingeniería genética es la clonación, que supone la extracción del núcleo de un óvulo para sustituirlo por el núcleo de otro animal de la misma especie. Después, ese óvulo se implanta en el útero de otro animal y, de esta manera, se obtiene un animal genéticamente idéntico al organismo del que se había obtenido el núcleo original.
*Pero no todo en la Ingeniería genética resulta bien, ya que en algunos casos las modificaciones pueden resultar perjudiciales para el “ tratado”, entonces desde este punto comienza el conflicto para saber como reaccionar frente a este escollo que podría frenar la maravilla que llegaría a ser esta nueva ciencia.

Lovely Mila Kunis
Lovely Mila Kunis!
Mila Kunis. Ze speelde samen met Justin Timberlake in de fantastische komedie 'friends with benefits'. Maar ook op haar 14e in de serie 'That's 70's shows' op comedie central. Ze speelde Jacky Burkhart en mocht zoenen met Ashton Kutcher! Maar wie is Mila Kunis nu eigenlijk?
Een mooie brunette die goed kan acteren. Mila werd geboren in Oekraïne en verhuisde op zevenjarige leeftijd naar Los Angeles. Toen ze negen was begon ze al met acteren, ze volgde toneellessen na schooltijd. Kunis heeft heterochromia iridis, dit betekent dat er kleurverschil is in de iris van het linker- en rechteroog: haar rechteroog is grijs/blauw en haar linkeroog is licht bruin/groen.
Ze speelde in “That 70's Show'' en sprak de stem in van Meg Griffin in ''Family Guy''. Mila heeft in aardig wat films gespeeld, maar Black Swan en Friends With Benefits zijn waarschijnlijk toch wel de bekendste.
Ze speelde in “That 70's Show'' en sprak de stem in van Meg Griffin in ''Family Guy''. Mila heeft in aardig wat films gespeeld, maar Black Swan en Friends With Benefits zijn waarschijnlijk toch wel de bekendste.
Kunis houdt van reizen en maakt regelmatig tripjes met haar oudere broer Michael. Daarnaast is ze graag met haar vrienden, lekker thuis zitten in haar pyjama en tv kijken vindt ze heerlijk. Mila is erg gesteld op haar privacy en probeert haar relaties en andere persoonlijke gebeurtenissen daarom ook zo veel mogelijk uit de media te houden.
Dat ze mooi is, wordt regelmatig bevestigd. Zo heeft GQ magazine haar ‘knockout of the year 2011’ genoemd en Men’s Health noemde haar in de “100 hottest woman of all-time”.
Make Your Home Your Sanctuary
Make Your Home Your Sanctuary
As the pressures of the outside world increase it becomes even more important that we have a place where we can feel comfortable and secure, a sanctuary. Our home is our sanctuary, or it should be. It is the one place where we can drop our problems and relax.
If you home has not felt like much of a sanctuary lately here are some tips to help you change that.
First, consider removing all clutter. Clutter is a a place for stagnant energies to accumulate.
Cleansing/Clearing is a must. There are many ways that you can cleanse or clear the energies in your home. If you have a preferred method, you can use that. To cleanse/clear the energies of your home you can use sound, such as a specific tone or frequency like a tuning fork. You can use music, anything classical or nature sounds, etc. You will not want to use anything with words. The words have their own frequency therefore may alter the energies that you are trying to establish. You can use prayer or you can burn herbs. Herbs that work great for cleansing and clearing energies are sage and sweetgrass.
The process for cleansing and clearing energies is simple, you will want to walk around your home with your chosen instrument with the intention of removing undesired energies, making sure you get into every corner. You will also want to walk around the exterior of your home doing the same thing. If you are really energetic you can do the same from your yard and/or property.
The next step is to bring in the energies that you want to have in your sanctuary such as peace and love. To accomplish this you can say a prayer or simply state your intention to invite in only those energies.
To maintain those energies I would suggest you do a visualization in which you envision a large funnel shaped moving vortex of energies coming down from the heavens through the roof of your home (with the larger end of the tunnel facing toward your home) that brings in the pure loving light of Spirit. Then do the same visualization with the large end of the funnel facing your home again but this time coming up from the center of the Earth. This will bring you the pure grounding energies of the Earth Mother. The vortices will meet in the middle of your home and merge together forming a completely balanced energy within your home and radiate out to cover your entire property.
Next I would suggest you place what I have termed a “burden basket” at the entrance to your home. A burden basket can be any type of holding bin that you have on hand. The purpose of the burden basket is to place your troubles inside the basket before entering the home. This you will want to share with everyone in your household. You can actually place a pen and paper in the basket for everyone to write down their troubles in and place into the basket or you can have them do so symbolically. This will depend on the skill level of your loved ones. Whatever you chose make sure everyone is aware that is designed for them to “leave their troubles at the door” and not bring them into your sanctuary.
The last step is to put something into place at each of the entrances to your home (that are used). If you have have a mat outside the entrance then you can place an actual physical object there which we will discuss in a moment, if not you can do so again using visualization and intent.
Take a blank sheet of paper (not lined) and write on it in a way that the words form a spiral or vortex. You are going to write something to the effect of “Only those with good intentions and energy can enter this space. Those will negative energies or ill feelings will drop those feelings here and this vortice will carry the energy back to Mother Earth for transmutation. “ You can use whatever wording fits for you so long as the intention of the statement above is depicted. Make one for each of your entrances and place them under your doormats. If you would like you can laminate them or wrap them in clear contact paper. This will avoid having to replace them as often. You could also use a crystal for the same purpose placed outside your entrances. Just be sure the crystal you choose is one that you would not be to upset to lose should someone decide they like it.
These steps should be repeated at least once a month or more often if you pick up any negative vibes. As everyone in the home gets the hang of dropping their burdens at the door you will notice that you will not have to repeat the steps nearly as often. The paper at the door ways is in place for visitors and works great! I hope these steps prove effective for you and look forward to your feedback.

Spiritual Living In A Modern World
Spiritual Living In The Modern World cont.
The drive or impulse to grow comes from the deepest level of our being and is also the same instinct that causes a seed to sprout. The impulse to grow expresses itself in many different ways depending on one’s own personal make-up but includes a desire for self-understanding, knowledge and personal growth, the urge to discover & create, the wish to help others and the quest for answers about life and its purpose.
Spiritual living means acting consciously and taking responsibility for our behavior, thoughts, and emotions, as well as our relationships with others and the Natural World in which we live. It is an awareness of the way in which we choose to lead our lives that enables us to Shine Our Spiritual Light as a beacon into the dark recesses of our vast universe and unite as One Spiritual family.
What has been coined “New Age” is merely a Re-Awakening or Re-Membering of the ways of our Ancestors. Gone are the days of living in the shadows; worrying about being shunned or outcast due to your beliefs or spiritual practices.
We are engaging with the current shift in consciousness and awareness in mainstream science, philosophy, and religion toward the acceptance of a Living Universe where exists an underlying Conscious & Intelligent matrix of energy that receives and interacts with our thoughts.
The options available for spiritual practice are as varied as the human species itself, and are useful in adding spice to life; the world would be a very boring place indeed if we had no flavors to chose from.
Weather you choose to follow a particular doctrine, a specific discipline, a certain way of worship & prayer, or you meditate, chant or practice specific postures and movements are less important than the way in which you choose to walk it. Walking a spiritual practice involves learning what it means to be of service and being willing to give of oneself in the pursuit of growth & learning. This pursuit is making our world a better place to be and is never undertaken purely for the purpose of personal gain. As we follow any path, remaining open and receptive (questioning) is the mark of spiritual living. Learning can and does happen in any given moment.
Do you need a teacher or a guru to practice spiritual living? As we discussed, living a spiritual life is one in which you remain open and receptive. Therefore, the answer is simple. If you feel your practice would be furthered by the assistance and experience of an advisor then I say “Go for it”, with one proviso. When you walk with an advisor, walk beside him or her rather than behind him or her. In this way you are creating footsteps rather than walking in them. Spiritual living is an experiential journey and learning is an individual process, which no one can do for you.
Living a spiritual life is not so much about reaching a specific goal rather growing, becoming and experiencing connection with the Spirit of All Creation.
If we think of this life journey as a wheel with each spoke representing different knowledge, different doctrines, practices or beliefs, different creeds, classes and colors, different places, scents and flavors then we can begin so see that our journey from rim to rim and spoke to spoke offers a varied and personal way of experiencing and interacting with the life around us. In this way we can also begin to see that each spoke is a necessary component of the wheel of life and without all the spoke the wheel of life would become flat and no longer roll. Therefore, one spoke is no more important than the others, they work in concert with the rim to form the wheel. Just as we operate in concert with the people, plants, animals d elements around is to form the world in which we live.

Advice from Epictetus
"DO NO SEEK TO HAVE EVENTS HAPPEN AS YOU WANT THEM TO, BUT INSTEAD WANT THEM TO HAPPEN AS THEY DO HAPPEN, AND YOUR LIFE WILL GO WELL." Epictetus, The Enchiridion
Did you know that Epictetus was a slave that freed himself through knowledge? well, YES! it was long time ago in ancient Greece; He was born approximately in AD 55 and lived to fullfill his dream to be free. His master allowed him to study Stoic Philosophy and eventually granted him freedom. Epictetus was a sage and he left his teachings in several writings such as The Encheiridion, a manual or handbook about the best possible condition for a human being to be.
