Antidepressants prevent cancer

Taking certain antidepressants immediately reduces the risk of two types of tumors - brain and intestine. That is the conclusion reached by researchers from the American University of Lincoln.

Tricyclic antidepressants   (TCA), which accounted for a third of all prescription drugs to fight depression, reduce the risk of Bowel Cancer   21%, as the American scientists. Moreover, this class of antidepressants also helps to reduce by 64% the risk of developing a particular cancer type in the brain or spine, called glioma .

Every year tens of thousands of Russians know that they are sick bowel cancer Still have about 15 thousand diagnosed gliomas . It turns out less often faced with these severe disease, patients taking tricyclic antidepressants or long enough, or receiving very high doses of antidepressants.

Scientists have deduced this law, studying the medical records of patients who are victims of various types of cancer. Total to the attention of researchers got 31,953 human. Analysis showed that receiving TCA reduces the risk of bowel cancer and gliomas, but does not affect the risk of developing other cancers, such as tumors of the lung, breast and prostate.

According to the authors of the study, which is published in the journal British Journal of Cancer, TCA can be a preventive measure to prevent cancer. It is possible that on the basis of tricyclic antidepressants   scientists can create special drugs that will be issued to people who are at risk.

According to this method, the digestive system of people with different blood groups differently perceives certain foods as blood indicates than human ancestors were busy. Business activity has an impact on nutritious diet and can cause intolerance to certain foods, so each group should be eaten only some of them.

However, a group of Belgian researchers led by Philip Vandekerchhova found that in fact the success of the diet for blood group is not confirmed by scientific research. So among 1415 articles on the subject have found only one authoritative scientific work indirectly for the problem. It stated that people with different blood groups in different ways affects diet low in fat.

The researchers stress that the blood of a person depends on the proteins that are located on the surface of red blood cells and antibodies. The hypothesis that the blood can somehow affect the person's life, they take a very skeptical.

Around vaccinations

Does the flu shot? This question arises every autumn to parents

On the one hand, you want to protect your baby from possible illness, on the other - are in doubt: whether the vaccine will protect, will not she, on the other hand, the harm?

Dispel doubts we asked our expert - pediatric immunologist, head of vaccine prevention of the Scientific Center for Children's Health, PhD Marina Galicia .

Why get a flu shot, if ...

... It still does not give a 100% immunity?

The flu shot gives immunity in 90% of cases - and this is a good indicator. But, even if vaccinated child is sick, the disease will flow much more easily than in the absence of vaccination.

... There can be serious complications after vaccination?

This is one of the most common misconceptions persist heated staunch opponents of vaccination.

Meanwhile, the question of complications - very thin, because "after" does not mean "because." Most so-called complications postprivivochnyh those actually are not. At the time of vaccination the child could already be sick, just the disease is in the incubation period. Sometimes it is deteriorated, because parents do not follow the basic rules. Vaccination is still for some time weakens the body, and after inoculation with the child should go home and not in crowded places - shopping with my mother. Do not expose the weakened body meeting with other infections.

Mild fever or redness at the injection site complications are not considered.

... Can support the immune system of folk remedies?

Of course, in the season of colds useful to take people's money, strengthens the immune system. This is primarily a food containing vitamin C: it is the garlic, onion, radish, helps produce lysozyme to fight the bacterial infection. Are well-known immune-boosting properties of Echinacea, ginseng and propolis. But taking too long and immunostimulants for prevention is not recommended, otherwise the body to produce interferon alone unlearn - a substance that fights viruses.

... Each year it has to be repeated and as a result accumulated in the body of harmful substances?

The vaccines do contain various chemical compounds, but they are much smaller than the dose limits.

As for the virus particles that contain some of the vaccine, the vaccines of last generation of virus particles are used, the split organic solvents. In this case, the proportion of harmful substances is negligible.

... The child health problems (allergies, frequent colds), not whether it will hurt even more often?

Thanks to vaccination the child will get sick less often, as it contributes to the development of immunity. Frequently ill child flu shot is needed in the first place, because it can reduce the number of colds per season. With regard to children with allergies, the flu vaccine is contraindicated only for those who are allergic to chicken protein, since vaccines are grown in chicken embryos. All the rest of it can and should do.

... Flu shot still does not protect against colds?

The virus that causes the common cold, a great many. In addition to the flu, which has also different strains allocated adenovirus, rhinovirus, rotavirus ... In the cold season, they are activated and if the immune system is weakened, easily attack the body. The flu shot from others colds does not protect, but it improves the immune system and, therefore, the overall incidence of viral infections is reduced. The child is 2 times less likely to catch a cold, and even if they catch a cold, disease transfer easier.

... If the child is still sitting at home?

In the first place it is recommended to vaccinate children attending kindergartens and schools - in a big team and the probability to catch up. Maybe your child does not attend kindergarten, but walking in circles, school development, playing with other children in the yard. And if the nearest house of children's creativity also have to travel in public transport, should be carefully weigh whether to refuse vaccinations.

Our information

There are four types of vaccine. Each - their pros and cons, restrictions on age and health status. Which vaccine to vaccinate a child must decide specialist.

►Dve whole virus vaccines: they contain whole virus, only one - the living, the other - were killed.

Minuses : Possible malaise, headache, fever often.

Contraindications : Heart disease, hypertension, allergies, asthma, epilepsy, kidney disease, blood, nervous, endocrine and immune system. And do not for children under 18 years.

► second-generation vaccine - split vaccine: contains the virus itself, but only its surface and internal proteins.

pros : Almost no side effects in the form of fever or general malaise.

Minuses : Possible local reaction at the injection site.

Contraindications : Exacerbation of chronic and common diseases, allergy to chicken protein.

►Subedinichnaya vaccine - the most modern and the most refined, it contains only two proteins on the surface of the virus.

They form a structure that the immune system recognizes the virus as a whole, and therefore provides an answer as whole virus, not part of it.

Popular assertion that nutrition during pregnancy should be "for two" - in fact, it is dangerous to the health of the child. If the mother will follow this rule, it can badly affect not only the baby's IQ, but his nervous system.

To overeat during pregnancy increases the mother's risk of subsequent development of their children and psychosis eating disorders   (anorexia, bulimia, obesity, etc.). In addition, these children intelligence, in some cases inferior to similar indicator of their peers.

Every pregnant woman worries about what diet   it is necessary to adhere to the birth of the child. Someone recommends "eating for two", someone advises to keep a diet and take an example from stars such as Gisele Bundchen and Miranda Kerr staying slim almost to the birth.

Researchers from several countries around the world have gathered together the dangers of overeating during pregnancy. The overall results were published in the journal Obesity Reviews.

Thus, the level of IQ in children of mothers, on average, by 5 points lower in comparison with their peers, as established researchers from McMaster University in Canada.

Contraception future - for men and women

And your man has enough courage to get through a contraceptive injection in the buttocks? British journalists have gathered together some of the latest achievements in the field of birth control.

Last month, many in England discussing the alarming statistics - hundreds of women have become pregnant after implant Implanon for contraception. Now the ladies will think twice before resorting to this kind of protection.

But the arsenal of modern medicine will soon be able to offer many other ways   Contraception Of which you probably have not even heard. Here's what a few years will be able to take advantage of a man, in addition to the condom:

Blaster with ultrasound   - Scientists have found that ultrasound can act as a means for Contraception   men. Aimed to prevent the wave of testicular sperm production for up to six months. So far, the studies have been on rats.

Male contraceptive pill,   - British researchers are developing it. The drug paralyzes some muscles of the male reproductive system that temporarily stops the production of sperm. No decreased libido is not happening, and men still have an orgasm, only "dry". The medicine will be ready in 10 years.

Thrust   - Testosterone injections once a month may be more effective than condoms or female pill.

Created success formula of natural conception

If a woman over 35, within six months can not conceive, she should seek the services of a specialist in the treatment of infertility. This is evidenced by a new mathematical model that predicts the chances of getting pregnant.

Conception is largely due to chance or luck. This means that some women succeed at the first attempt, and some have tried unsuccessfully for months to work on the solution of this problem. But it is known that the woman's ability to natural conception   after thirty gradually reduced, and the years of success make this process even more difficult. There has not be attributed to bad luck.

That's why the researchers decided to develop a simple mathematical formula that can help couples understand their chances of success natural conception And to determine at what time the problem should contact a specialist. The formula calculates the woman's age, duration of attempts to get pregnant and the probability to achieve conception in a certain cycle.

For example, if a girl of 25 years, the model predicts that after only 13 menstrual cycles, her chances of getting pregnant with each new cycle of falling below 10%. But 30 years is enough already just 10 months of unsuccessful attempts to chances of natural conception fell below 10%. And after 35 that is only enough for six months. After that, women are advised to contact the clinic for the treatment of infertility.

"Women are expected to become pregnant at a time when they want it, so when it does not work, they are in a state of shock, - says study co-author Professor Medical School Warwick Geraldine Hartshorne. - Going to the doctor with such a sensitive issue for many people is difficult. And the people it will be very important to know when exactly should stop trying himself to seek professional help. "

Sleeping on the stomach - the most dangerous for humans

Spanish sexologists found that almost 40% of sexual dysfunction (both men and women) is due to improper body posture during sleep.

According to experts, in this position as Sleep on your stomach , Compressed internal organs, compressible own body weight. Deteriorating blood circulation of the lower abdomen. And this is directly related to sexual health.

In men, sleeping on his stomach, squeezed reproductive organs and the urinary bladder, which leads to extra stress on the kidneys. In women during sleep in this position are pressed breasts.

But that's not all. Pose " Sleep on your stomach ", As it turned out, dangerous and even beauty - during sleep in such a position superfluous wrinkles formed on the skin.

Tours: how not to get burned?

The last time we talked about the pros and cons of early booking tours. It would be logical to continue to discuss the subject and is now such a thing as a last-minute trips, implying departures on vacation in the next few days. As there are cheap tickets and that tourists can expect from them?

World tour   in the classic version sold for 1-3 days prior to departure and at a greatly reduced price. The cause of such tours become, often, insufficient thought-out marketing strategy travel agencies and hotels, the high competition in the tourism market. Breaking in the first place, increasing the size of the tour operators have contracts with hotels and air carriers for such seats, which are unlikely to "digest". As a result of this "muscle-flexing" ends with neraskuplennye hotel rooms and seats on planes given at cost or even below it, fulfilling contractual obligations and to somehow replenish working capital. This leads to a reduction of dumping material stability travel company, but pleases tourists cheap vouchers .

Another tempting offers may appear in the "low Date". About them clearly known to all the participants of the tourism market and the fall in prices can be expected with the greatest probability. This is the time after the high season, for example, the second half of January (after the New Year and before the student holidays), the second half of May (May Day), October (off season), etc.

In cheap tickets Purchased before departure, there are pluses and minuses. Let's start with a nice - the price. As with the early booking, the cost can be reduced by 30-40% and bring good tourist economy. Another plus - the ability to use an unexpected vacation or free time that previously did not expect tourists.

As for the cons, the main one is the lack of choice. On the "burning" serves those resorts, hotels, rooms that were not purchased for early booking or on an ongoing basis.

"Figuring out what is left," a sort of drain for unpretentious, adventurous and easy going. Because buying last-minute tours for families with children who need a high quality holiday, I would not recommend. To get to the good options you can not argue, well, if you will not get - farewell, rest?

The same applies to air travel - all of the most convenient flights already taken, is that no other tourists chose: departures "to the evening, back to the morning" (when lost the whole day), flights dubious airlines and so on. So those who wait until the last and hopes for free, need to understand and assess their risks.

Last minute cancellations do not imply, on the eve of departure penalties on any contracts amounted to almost the full cost of the tour. Also, it will be difficult to change the companion, because data is quickly sent to the hotel and ticketing. In general, there is no time to think: choose, just buy and go. And the way this 80% will be in the country's "massive areas," visa-free for Russians: Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia, Thailand, Vietnam and others. On the issue of visas simply do not have time, so that the "burning" Europe is available only to those who have someone available multivisa Schengen.

To hot tour left a good impression, let me give a few recommendations for the purchase:

• Last minute demands from some tourist participation, monitoring proposals. Sign up for multi-operator or your travel agent. Browse sites for tourists, where the company publishes the latest offerings. And when the time came to rest suddenly and monitor once - please call your travel agent, he knows "fishing spots", which publishes proposals for the next departures.
• Despite the limited time for action, sign a contract with the travel agency and take a moment to study it. It should include all the parameters of the tour: the name of the hotel, room type and nutrition conditions of air travel, etc. By law, this tour is no different from any other travel company and bears responsibility for its organization.
• Remember that burning can have its drawbacks. Expect from the sale at a low price impeccable quality would be wrong. The main thing - to have complete information! Tell the travel agent that they are willing to cons, but you want to know about them. This will help to select the most viable option available. If you know that the rocky entrance to the sea, then take the slippers, and there will be less reason for a bad mood.
  
  Enjoy all the pleasures of relaxation and a good journey!

How to buy cheap air tickets online?

More and more tourists want to be independent from tour operators and travel agents, and independent travel always begins with the purchase of tickets. Today we'll talk about the correct finding and buying a profitable airline. I do not pretend to be full of information, but maybe someone will help it purchase tickets at good prices and save on air travel.

To begin with, that the only correct prescription buy cheap flights   no. The dates of sales are different from airlines, offers year-round exit, depending on the evenness of load boards, and other factors (here is all depends on the work of marketing services airline) tickets themselves at good rates "to the people" produced little. How is it that "catch" chip flights ?

The first and easiest step is to find tickets to the so-called systems, compilers, such aviasales.ru, skyscanner.ru and similar. These systems, like a funnel, collect offers and airlines booking site (onetwotrip.ru, trip.ru and the like) and are price from low to high. Convenient compilers that when searching for the passenger immediately see the range of values ​​for a ticket on the route and can choose the site from which it is more convenient to make a reservation. In these systems, you can choose only direct flight or flights with transfers, set the range of a few days in order to compare prices.

Why are the prices on the same flight on different booking sites different? It depends on the contracts with the airlines, sales (much booked from this site - above loyalty to the airline at a contract extension), and just appetites owners (fees may vary greatly and affect the price). According to my personal observations, the most interesting are the prices on the already mentioned onetwotrip.ru, trip.ru, has often praised momondo. But then you just have to compare and consider all the nuances.

In the transition from the compiler directly on the reservation site, you will see already the final cost of the ticket. I must say that it may vary in the compiler prices. This happens for various reasons: the compiler can keep on the relevance of the information online reservations may incur additional charges, or simply it is likely that tickets for the declared rates has come to an end. The peculiarity of this flight - all have access from anywhere in the world (including the booking office and travel agencies), and because highly dynamic. Seconds before someone buys a ticket, and all prices are already popular with you and there, and on the sites of "alas, tickets at this price is not found, try changing the search."

In such cases, try to move the date, sometimes crashes on Friday at the week-end are much more expensive than the departure on Sunday. It is the policy of the airlines, they also need to maintain profitability. And if they see that on Thursday-Friday, planes loaded with more - why should they lower prices? The same applies to high-known date - New Year's festival dates (eg Oktoberfest), children's and student holidays (especially if you're talking about tickets to Europe).

And this policy appears Practice passengers - planning and buying tickets much in advance. There is an unwritten rule, "think about the New Year in the summer, about the summer - in the New Year."

Already in February, tickets for the May holidays at a good price can be taken easily. But in the late summer or autumn - please. Some enthusiastic every day check the price and when they see an attractive rate - just take tickets. But you need to just have enough money on payment card, otherwise then the price can be changed dynamically. There are travelers and those who "catch" is not a specific country, namely tickets and then decide - if he wanted to go there or not.

It should also be understood that the low tariffs, even for six months prior to departure, the airline launches "for the seed" to start shipping the board. And there are all the plane tickets can not be, you need to buy them immediately, or buy other. In order not to miss the special offers, subscribe to the same compiler. The electronic box is, of course, loads, but use is obvious. Also offers you can "catch" the airline directly. Most often, the fall publish their offers Russian airlines, for example, S7, Aeroflot. Perfectly promote your site and fares airline Emirates, Qatar Airways, on flights that can reach up to distant points of the globe - Africa, Australia, French Polynesia. Of course, to regularly review compilers, and airline booking website - it is work and time-consuming, but it is well worth it!

When purchasing tickets, especially for super-tariffs, pay attention to the conditions of the return and exchange. Most often, for the opportunity to purchase a profitable airline flight exhibit more severe penalties. Assess the risks - as to whether you will be given on the holiday, and tickets will not have to take? If necessary - return for a ticket to the card is carried out from 3 to 60 days, but not immediately.

Another risk self-purchase tickets - delay, cancellation, replacement of the flight, etc. With self purchase for any questions you one on one with the airline. No travel company, no ticket office will not be able to help rewrite the ticket for the next day or flight, to warn the postponement of the time of departure, make a quick return for a ticket. And no one is going to care that you do not have access to the Internet anywhere in Bora Bora, and you are not proficient in English. Over independence should be held accountable.

Nuances and have self-purchase tickets on difficult routes. Some sites provide the ability to specify different cities of arrival and departure (for example, the route Moscow-Johannesburg-Cape Town // Moscow). But there are not very many, often book is designed for simple route (eg, Moscow-Prague-Moscow). And if you are flying in the same Cape Town at the Emirates and want to stay in Dubai for three days, without a good aviabiletchika you can not do. On booking sites you simply will not be able to set the desired date and breaking up the route into sections lead to higher ticket prices. The same goes for long journeys, krugosvetok (when flights covering more than one continent) - in this case a good aviabiletchik on hand will help you choose the best fares on the route and dock flights optimally.

I note that it is conducted on regular flights and tickets on open sale. Some seats on these flights, is given by the tour operator companies and units in the open market of the move can not be bought. This also applies to charter flights, for which all entirely responsible travel company-customers. But such tickets can be bought, for example, websites and block charter flights (allcharters.ru, chartex.ru et al.) Or in a travel company. "Words" such tickets can be notoriously low date - immediately after the New Year, after the May holidays, between the high dates for summer destinations winter (for example, on the coast of Italy in February). Usually, they are sold for a few days before departure (when it is clear that the tour package will not be realized), and the presence of Schengen multivisa can be very handy when buying such a "burning" a ticket to the same Europe.

And finally - the current special offer from Delta Air Lines in the US! Sales period until 4 March 2013 Travel period from February 1 to June 30, 2013 Cost of tickets (without taxes and fees): New York - 115 euros; Miami - 269 euros; Los Angeles - 279 euros; Boston - 259 euros; Chicago - 279 euros.

Successful air-hunting!

I enjoy the most influential people in the world

Wisdom says that everything ever created by one person, while others turn to the collection. People standing at the very top of government, in this sense, is no exception. Ivan the Terrible, for example, seriously fascinated by astrology. Peter I can rightly be considered the first real numismatist in Russia. Great, Napoleon was keen on collecting watches ...

List of figures from the distant historical past goes on and on. Russian autocrat Peter III I liked to drink vodka and play with toy soldiers. For his studies he took very seriously. When one night a rat bitten two toy men who were made of starch, the emperor issued an order - to catch a criminal and executed. Rat was hanged ... Another emperor, Nicholas I enthusiastically engaged in design the uniforms of the Russian army. The governor is not worse than the professional tailors versed in the intricacies of wearing every vypushek and petlichek. And over the plates with drawings of uniforms could plod round the clock ... Chancellor Bismarck enthusiastically collecting thermometers, the last Russian tsar Nicholas II   - Violin, which from time to time and he played pretty well ...

Psychologists say that it is often a hobby able to say about the character and inclinations of man much more than a basic activity or working position. For example, a "fixation" on one thing indicates insecure nature, easily amenable to others' influence. At the same Nicholas II he had a devil - he could not bear, when his "toys" touched outsiders. From his collection was once stolen instrument, beautiful and very valuable Stradivarius that the emperor liked. It was immediately organized an investigation found a rarity. But Nikolai it never never touched.

Men simply are not able to be friends with women

Researchers responded to a question that torments mankind for centuries: Can a man and a woman to be just friends. It turns out, still can not.

Is it possible to   the friendship of man and woman   heterosexual oriented between the sexes, which looks a little bit attractive to each other? This question was not time, and very often it answered in the affirmative. Like, do not suspect the men in that they are bound to indulge their instincts. High ratios are possible, and there are plenty of examples.

Researchers from the University of Wisconsin found that any the friendship of man and woman   by the stronger sex is controlled by sexual desire. Regardless of the marital status of men. But women, in contrast, tend to consider friendship with men in a platonic way. And sexual interest in women wakes up only when their own relationship with her husband or lover gives a crack.

In a study of 88 pairs of young men and women who are on friendly terms, we were asked to rate the attractiveness of each other. The survey was conducted on a confidential basis. As married and single men evaluated sex appeal girlfriends and expressed a desire to go on a date with them. In addition, men believed that friends are also experiencing them a strong sexual interest that did not correspond to the truth. Women, for the most part, do not even thought of.

Unmarried women, however, did experience sexual attraction to male friends. But who are in stable relationships are not interested in friends in this way. Such interest awoke only at the moment when the personal relationship the woman spoiled. However, in the group of middle-aged men sexual interest in women-friends is greatly reduced, but the female to male friends remained at the same level as in the young group.

Why had an awkward relationship

Single women are sure that the men have forgotten how to take responsibility, make decisions, and even become afraid of relationships. Why is this happening?

Expert - head of the department of psychological rehabilitation of the City Center in the border states of the psychiatric hospital number 12, the host of "Psycho-environment" on radio RSN psychologist Catherine Sobchik.

Can you help a person fall in love?

Catherine Sobchik: - Perhaps it is a problem of today's generation, because I remember my youth, we had no problems - love. All the time we were in this state. The main thing - to find out what really is true love. It seems to me, any medal has two sides. Now our lives have come modern technology, I mean communication via the Internet. It replaces the real communication, and it is like the other, the negative side of the coin. I understand that history and progress can not and do not turn back. Communicating via SMS is now a special slang, which closes the opportunity to express real feelings, that is, everything is much simpler primitiviziruetsya.

I understand that is probably now look like an old lady, who said that before the water was wet and sweeter than sugar. But it is normal. Each outgoing to the new generation is very suspicious. But I still think that the issue of a new generation in this simplification. I do not remember in what the film was such a moment. A girl looking at mobile phone, says that it is impossible to describe the experience to SMS from Lake Baikal. Of course, this can only be done with words and looking into the eyes of the interlocutor. It requires some work of intelligence and soul. Love also requires some effort. And what does help falling in love? If there is such a need, it still happens.

We have a lot of single women, and statistics show that the country is all right with the relationship between men and women. How do you explain that?

ES .: -   It seems to me that this is some sort of a temporary phenomenon. People who fall into this temporary cage, very unlucky. Businesswoman grow a huge teeth, to make a career, then no man in his right mind to such a woman close will not approach because, like it or not, man we want to see the femininity, weakness, without being ready to take on our responsibility . That is the paradox.

Now women are more courageous and feminized men, because the request does not involve the time of male behavior. All you can do with technology, using a computer. Previously, without a man in the house nothing could be done, and now there are a screwdriver, I myself can not tighten the screws, a man I did not need to. A man in this sense, necessarily need a woman, because now so many delicious food is sold and do not necessarily cook.

In general, the processes are weird, but I assure you, it is temporary, because the essence of the human will not go anywhere. There is the need for love in any person. You can not build your life on the traditional scenario: get married and die in one day without fail. Now, many women refuse the marriage, but it does not negate love. This is a completely different genres. Very well, when they match, it is a great happiness and luck. Very touching when you see the elderly, sincerely attached to each other.

Why do modern men are so weak?

ES .: - Weak men - this is a statement of fact .  Please note, even in advertising, what sort of man? All with little sluggish podborodochkami, coyly-powdered, while they have muscles, but his expression contradicts this muscle mass .  Yes, I have just said about this, there is a query time .  If you now see a real macho man, he would look rather ridiculous against the background of our lives .  Absolutely "male" man seems decorative .  What to do with it? After all, what is the real man? Take, for example, for many years has shaken the image of women's minds Gosha from the film "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears" .  Imagine suited to you now and say, gosh so that he will make decisions based on the fact that he is a man .  Where do you send it? Away .  So, you know, we create an environment together, the woman becomes rigid, and the man is easier when it does not make any decisions .  The question was, why are they so poor? It is not a weakness .  Men basically do not like to sort things out .  For them it is the sort of thing a heavy, bulky and painful, so it's easier to tell lies .  It turns out a paradox .  The woman asks the question, for example, why a man out of it .  Is it difficult to say that he has another? What woman then do with him? At least, this is one night agonizing conversation .  First, she will pull the wires, navyyasnyaetsya enough relationships and then maybe let .  Therefore, a man wants to avoid .

That is, it turns out that women are extreme in this situation?

ES .: -   I do not like this sexual antagonism. As soon as the going more than two women, they talk about how bad men. As soon as the going more than two men, they say the same about women. I think it's useless. We need each other just because we - men and women - different. It turns out that we are trying to blame men for what they do not like us.

What do you think, whether age plays a role in marriage? It reflected the age of men and women on long-term relationship?

ES .: - In a sense, late marriages are more stable because people know better, can predict your own reactions, more soberly assess the other person, and then there is a very high motivation to start a family. In his youth, marriage - it's just a demonstration of love, and the idea of ​​the family, as a rule, no. At a young age, especially, by the way, for men, is the legalization of stable sexual relationships, because, becoming a wife, a woman belongs to him at any time, and this is very important because the young man is very high sexual tension. And the fact that the family - is also a unit of society, and something needs to be done with it, he usually does not think. Therefore, most of these young marriages are unstable. In many people's lives is the first marriage of 18-19 years, which lasted only a year or so.

Personally you like the trend of marriage in a rather mature age?

ES .: - I have no right to anything at this point be considered. As it happens the way it should be. How You Can and You Can. If there is no severe destructive consequences (suffering children, division of property scandals), if it's just life experience, it is normal to live it. And each has its own story. But, of course, when they marry later in life, chances are that it will be the only marriage increases.

Does the age attitude to love?

ES .: - Of course, between the perception of love in the 17 and 40 there is a difference. At a young age there is more romantic, bright emotions, greater idealization. With age comes a "Leninist squint" when we begin to look carefully and study partner. On the other hand, if a strong sense of falls, then 37, and 50 which may almost be in adolescence. But it is - almost.

If you have this willingness to fall in love, you fall in love, and another thing, "what." This happens when the soul resides in this state predlyubvi. There is even a saying, "A man in such a state that can fall even in a lamppost." More or less indifferent to what this "object" because there is a willingness to fall in love.

Plants that prevent to be happy

relations

  As a woman understands what it lacks properties of her man? Personally, I think this is a very difficult question. It may give the impression that Women are born with "sewn" registry settings, which should have a man. Does the principle of the men who set their quality meets all of these requirements, I finally decided. Yet I inclined to think that there is, of course. Such men exist only in female imagination in the series and books that have sold in the bazaars Metro.
 
  However, in the context of the reality of this woman is quite arranges. Hence - and its installation on life and relationships: the sentimental and did not take into account the context of life in its ordinary and natural.
 
  The woman says that a man should change. This is very Popular claims, in my opinion, "You rude. Change! "" Be Household! " "Change yourself! "" Bring yourself into shape! "" I enjoy? Are you - the child? Turn to better than something useful! ".

Assessing its second half, the women use the template techniques, and not oriented to individual personality and specific features. Behind curtain of his imagination and dreams of the beautiful and romantic relationships his own person, they often do not see the real person. Talk with women. I think you will be pleasantly surprised how many of them think stereotypically and suffering about the same. "It has to do a man, not a woman" "I'm waiting for him a completely different, but it does not do" - the largest female frustration built almost always under the scheme.

Uninhabited islands and modern "Robinson"

Defoe would have known the writer who created three hundred years ago, his famous Robinson Crusoe, how will his life story about the ordeal hermit! After all, in reality, cases similar to the book of history, come so far ...

First female Robinson

Even seasoned man, if he were to a desert island I have a hard time. What to say about the fairer sex! But negotiating the fate of place: once destined to be dropped "Robinson" - will have to drudge. In 1977, the Indian Ocean storm covered the fishing craft, which was a 10-year-old girl Imayati. Father-fisherman had raised her without her mother, and took with him to fish where no one with whom to leave. Six years Imayati, like the rest of the crew from the wrecked vessel, presumed dead: was mourned and symbolically buried. But in 1983, on one of the islands near Sumatra at the camera to the American filmmakers, film about the tropical fauna, got "something" (it turned out, however, on closer view, humanoid individual of explicitly female).

Assuming that this is a local variety of Bigfoot, scientists urgently organized a search expedition. And they found ... Imayati grown up, which today is officially the first and so far only female Robinson. By the way, the female essence captive-islanders even in such extreme conditions of life manifested in full: Imayati dugout was filled with all sorts of loincloth made of bark and footwear ...

Victim of a shipwreck

History yachtsman Williams Haas was both tragic and funny .  In 1980, his boat drifted near the Bahamas, hit a shoal and happily went to the bottom .  Williams fortunately escaped, reached by swimming to a deserted piece of land called the three words of the World Por Vos .  Miraculously yachtsman managed to light a fire and three months to maintain its combustion .  During this time he managed to make himself a kind of water from desalination found rubber tubing, and ate lizards .  Curiously, a few kilometers from this island on the ocean repeatedly floated the vessel, which undoubtedly noticed flames .  But no one turned to save the "Robinson" .  Poor Williams knew his refuge at the old sea legend, considered a cursed place, and held angry at the "indifferent" to the suffering of others of mankind .  Therefore, his savior - a helicopter pilot, noticed the fire and landed on the island, the first thing a yachtsman thoroughly filled snout ...

Hermits at his own request

Oddly enough, to be on the a desert island   You can not just irony. Served in the "Robinson" and originals, fed up with the pleasures of the civilized world. In 1989, Canadian Georges de Caunes, whose job was to PR, he suddenly realized that he was terribly tired of people. I wanted to rest - that not a living soul around. Option with the death of Georges categorically do not like, but spend half a year on some desert island - completely.

As a result, a good portion of their savings Canadian spent on it, with the help of experts to find a reserved area in the district of New Zealand, and then hire a carrier. But after a couple months of stay on the island "ideological Robinson" visited customs. It turned out that during the last period of the island was recognized as the property of one of New Zealand's aboriginal tribes, long laid claim to it. And now for his visit to the required visa, which Georges was not. In general, the "Robinson" expelled. However, it is not very upset: life in splendid isolation is not turned romantic, and heavy and dreary.

But on an island in the archipelago of the Cook Anchorage a few years ago I lived a hermit anonymous volunteer, opposes any attempt to escape. All he bombards visitors with exotic fruits with a cry of "Yes you go ... I'm happy as ever, you idiot! ".

Dangerous fatigue: how do you know that you have time on vacation?

The work to exhaustion, home affairs, children, responsibilities to older relatives - it would seem that in this deal? Everything is live ... However, doctors are sounding the alarm: chronic fatigue in the last 20 years has been to move into clinical form and cause a real, serious health problems.

The term "syndrome Chronic Fatigue "Appeared in the early 1980s, and did not at first seen as a set of exclusively medical problems. A little later there was a second term - "manager syndrome", which is automatically deleted from the number of chronically tired women, not engaged at work - as it turned out, in vain ... Today doctors and psychologists propose to divide manifestations Chronic Fatigue   three phases, so that everyone can understand when it is time to stop and rest.

1. Phase evening apathy.   If the evening after work or completion of some household chores you do not have the strength to go to the movies or to visit, or even just take a walk around the neighborhood - it is an alarming sign. As a rule, this state speaks about the impossibility automatically switch from voltage mode relaxation. Of course, if someone from the family members or friends "pull" you unwind - the more likely you will be able to relax and unwind. But not on his own initiative.

What to do at this stage? Reduce stress, delegate things to others, to analyze and evaluate your nutrition health. The fact is that sometimes chronic fatigue associated with deficiency of protein in the diet, a deficiency of vitamin B1 as well as chronic diseases of the liver and thyroid gland.

2. The phase of sleep disorders. This is a more serious stage in the accumulation Chronic Fatigue . All day you feel the energy deficit, is not easy to concentrate and you always want to sleep. Do you drink tea and coffee, trying to cheer themselves artificially, but it's enough for a while. And when you are, it seems, remade all the affairs and head to the pillow - the dream disappears. You either can not fall asleep or fall through in a heavy slumber - shallow sleep, which not only does not rest, but even more overloads the brain. Another disturbing point that should be paid attention to: the sharp decline or disappearance of libido, when in the presence of loved the idea of ​​a partner to have sex, poisons the evening. The reason - all the same chronic fatigue, which always reduces the synthesis of hormones.

How to help yourself? Here we need radical solutions - at least a week off without any contact with the work (although everyone knows that the people who devote their duties most of his life, with great difficulty stopped these contacts, even for a few days). Relaxing treatments, massages, swimming in the pool - all of which can help to recover, provided that these effects are pleasing to you. For those who can not tolerate tactile feedback, is to go on an interesting tour, not related to work or daily life. In any case - it is necessary to radically change the "image" in front of his eyes.

3. Phase somatic disorders. At this stage, without skilled medical care can not do - long mental and physical stress starts to seriously affect health .  Here is a list of features characteristic for the third phase: chronic headache (especially the "eye" or in the occipital region), digestive disorders (constipation, epigastric pain), cardiac arrhythmia, numbness in the limbs, aggravation of sciatica, degenerative disc disease, arthritis .  In more serious cases, women can disappear periods, the onset of pain in the breasts, and men with potency problems begin .  The cause of all these ills - a special "redistribution" in the endocrine system, which reconfigures itself with the normal physiology (when a person wants, as nature intended, eat, drink, sleep, sex, etc. .  d . ) For abnormal - Labour .  That is, a person begins to transform itself into a "cadaver", whose sole function - endless work ...

If you notice that you was something like, go to a good doctor, and do a full screening of the organism - from blood and urine tests to computed tomography of the brain and abdomen. Alas, the body rarely forgives similar rejection of simple human joys ...

Uterine fibroids (Part 2)

To select the optimal treatment strategy fibroids is important to make a diagnosis. There are no trifles. Important as the size and location of sites and related gynecological diseases (endometrial hyperplasia, cervical disease, endometriosis, ovarian disease).

Operation exactly is required if:

- The patient was concerned about heavy prolonged menstruation or acyclic bleeding leading to anemia.
- Dimensions fibroids are large, the tumor size greater than the size of the pregnant uterus 12 weeks in young women, and 14 weeks in women after 45 years.
- There are signs of compression of adjacent organs.
- The rapid growth of the tumor, especially during menopause or menopause.
- Subserous node on the stem (at risk of twisting).
- Availability of submucous fibroids. Even a small submucous nodule can cause bleeding, life-threatening.
- Necrosis myoma node.
- Fibroids placed in the cervix.
- Related gynecological pathology to be operative treatment (recurrent endometrial hyperplasia, some diseases of the cervix, ovarian tumor, prolapse of the vaginal walls and the uterus).
- Recurrent miscarriage (if no other set of reasons).
- Infertility is not explained by other causes.

What do the surgery?

The fundamental question, which determines the type of operation - to remove or retain the uterus. The younger the patient, the more reason to perform breast conserving surgery, especially if in the future it is planned the pregnancy.
The choice of access (abdominal, vaginal, laparoscopic or hysteroscopic) depends on several factors: tumor size, the need for examination of the abdominal cavity, the presence of obesity, the need for further intervention on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and others.

Myomectomy - Surgical removal procedure only fibroids while preserving the uterus. This method is commonly used in young women who want to retain the ability to have children. Myomectomy successfully cured 80% of patients, but with a large number of nodes treatment effectiveness is considerably reduced.
Modern surgical practice allows for a minimally invasive myomectomy access. Laparoscopic myomectomy may be used if the host is on the outside of the uterus (subserous). The stomach is a few small incisions through which the doctor inserts into the abdominal cavity of a miniature video camera and special surgical instruments, and through which the tumor is removed.

Hysteroscopic myomectomy   is performed using a hysteroscope. The skin incision is not made. Specialist enters the uterus special flexible instrument, equipped with a fiber optic (hysteroscope) and removes fibromatous nodes using special tools, conducted through the hysteroscope. The large nodes are removed completely or partially - hysteroscope removes some assembly projecting into the lumen of the uterus. Approximately 10-20 percent fibromatous nodes are in a position to remove them using a hysteroscope. This is usually an outpatient procedure performed in the first week after menstruation under local anesthesia. This method of treatment is only suitable for intrauterine (submucous) nodes.

They say you can not cut it?

Can. In some cases using modern minimally invasive intervention - uterine artery embolization and FUS ablation (evaporation) nodes.
UAE - uterine artery embolization   blocks blood flow in the arteries that supply blood to the fibroids. The procedure is performed in a hospital by trained endovascular hirurgom.Spetsialist making skin puncture needle in the groin (hip place go to the stomach) and, once in the femoral artery, it carries a thin (1, 5-2 mm), specially curved tube - catheter. Since this procedure maloboleznenna used only local anesthesia, supplemented by drugs that cause drug-induced shallow sleep. Endovascular surgery carries a catheter through the arteries to the uterus under the control of X-ray equipment, which allows to monitor the movement of the catheter within the body. The catheter is fed into the uterine artery to the point where it divides into smaller branches that supply blood to fibroids. The uterine artery injected contrast agent that would ensure proper installation of the catheter.
Then the catheter is introduced a special substance that clogs all branches of the arteries feeding the myoma node. After the end of embolization is a control image, confirming the lack of blood supply to the fibroids. Skin puncture through which the catheter is inserted, processed, they are superimposed sterile compressive bandage for 12 hours.
The node is not suitable blood brings nutrients node begins to "wither."

Uterine artery embolization usually requires a hospital stay of one to three days. After the procedure requires bed rest for 6-8 hours. Postoperatively appointed painkillers. Pain of varying intensity occur in all patients. In addition, the temperature rise may occur. In this case, an additional anti-inflammatory agents are assigned. Complete recovery usually takes 2 weeks, but this period may be somewhat lengthened (depending on the size and number of nodes). In the usual course of postoperative monitoring and ultrasound examination is carried out in 2 weeks, 2 months, 6 months and 1 year after embolization.
EMA for the treatment of uterine fibroids   It used in the world since 1995. Experience gained enough, but studies are still ongoing.

FUS - ablations   - Evaporation of uterine fibroids - used in the Russian Federation since 2004. Under the control of magnetic resonance imaging in the myoma node remotely suggest therapeutic focused ultrasound. Within a few seconds, a fabric that is focused ultrasonic beam, is heated to the temperature required for its thermal necrosis (ablation), while the surrounding tissues remain unharmed.
The average duration of the procedure MRgFUS ablation of uterine fibroids is 3-4 hours.
The main advantage of   FUS ablation   is non-invasive (no punctures and cuts) and the possibility of out-patient procedure.

Hike to the treatment of uterine fibroids depends on the size and location of the largest node. Given that fibroids usually multiple, additional criterion considered the overall size of the uterus.

Clinically insignificant fibroids or myomas small size.

This group includes fibroids up to 15 mm. This asymptomatic pathology, such nodes detected only by ultrasound, which is a specific diagnostic success, since in the case of proper management, you can try to stop their further growth. We value the patient is not interested in pregnancy, long-term administration of low-dose oral contraceptives containing progestins third-generation, or intrauterine hormonal system "Mirena" can help stop the growth nodes, profilaktirovat complications and to provide reliable contraception.
