Dialysis patients diagnosed with depression are nearly twice as likely to be hospitalized or die within a year than those who are not depressed, a University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center researcher has found. In the study researchers monitored 98 dialysis patients for up to 14 months. More than a quarter received a psychiatric diagnosis of some form of depression based on a Diagnostic and

Now that it’s summer, you may feel like kicking off your shoes and walking barefoot in the grass. But be careful -- there are health risks associated with doing so:
Hookworm larvae, from animal feces, can cause infection.

Nocardia, a soil-based bacterium, can cause an inf
London, Nov 01: Food scientists have warned that a plan to fortify bread flour with folic acid to reduce birth defects may indeed raise incidences of bowel cancer, and trigger problems for people with leukaemia and arthritis.The Institute of Food Research has also said that it may take 20 years before the effects of increased consumption by millions of people become known."Fortifying UK flour with folic acid would reduce the incidence of neural tube defects. However, with doses of half the amount being proposed for fortification in the UK, the liver becomes saturated and unmetabolised folic acid floats around the blood stream,” the Daily Mail quoted Dr. Sian Astley of the institute as saying."This can cause problems for people being treated for leukaemia and arthritis, women being treated for ectopic pregnancies, men with a family history of bowel cancer, people with blocked arteries being treated with a stent and elderly people with poor vitamin B status,” she added.The warning co
Pets may not be the only organisms endangered by some food additives. An arsenic-based additive used in chicken feed may pose health risks to humans who eat meat from chickens that are raised on the feed, according to an article in the April 9 issue of Chemical & Engineering News, the weekly news magazine of the American Chemical Society.
Roxarsone, the most common arsenic-based additive used in chicken feed, is used to promote growth, kill parasites and improve pigmentation of chicken meat. In its original form, roxarsone is relatively benign. But under certain anaerobic conditions, within live chickens and on farm land, the compound is converted into more toxic forms of inorganic arsenic. Arsenic has been linked to bladder, lung, skin, kidney and colon cancer, while low-level exposures can lead to partial paralysis and diabetes, the article notes.
Use of roxarsone has become a topic of increasing controversy. A growing number of food suppliers have stopped using the compound, inc
