Blood test may help identify fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, research shows

(COLLEGE STATION, Texas) — Researchers at the Texas A&M College of Medicine, the University of California San Diego School of Medicine and the Omni-Net Birth Defects Prevention Program in Ukraine have identified a blood test that may help predict how severely a baby will be affected by alcohol exposure during pregnancy, according to a study published today in the journal PLOS ONE. The findings could facilitate early intervention to improve the health of infants and children who were prenatally exposed to alcohol.

Fetal alcohol syndrome is a severe form of a spectrum of mental and physical disabilities, called fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD), that can affect children’s development with long-lasting consequences. In the United States and Western Europe, it is estimated that 2 to 5 percent of school-age children are affected by FASD. In some parts of the world, that number is even higher. Children and adults affected by FASD may have a range of symptoms, from physical changes like a small head and subtle differences in the face, to learning difficulties and behavioral issues.

Despite widespread prevention guidelines, drinking during pregnancy still occurs. This is partly because about half of pregnancies in the United States are unplanned, and therefore many women might not realize that they need to stop consuming alcohol before the damage is done.

“It’s a huge problem,” said Rajesh Miranda, PhD, professor in the Texas A&M College of Medicine and co-senior author of the article, “but we might not realize the full scope because infants born with normal-looking physical features may be missed, making many cases difficult to diagnose early.” Consequently, there is a need for early biomarkers that can assist with predicting infant disability.

Utilizing a grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) - National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) as part of a consortium known as the Collaborative Initiative on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (CIFASD), the researchers looked at birth outcomes for 68 pregnant women enrolled in the study at two perinatal care clinics in western Ukraine. The team obtained detailed health and alcohol consumption histories and second and third trimester blood samples from each woman. The results indicated that moderate to high levels of alcohol exposure during early pregnancy resulted in significant differences in some circulating small RNA molecules, termed microRNAs (miRNAs), in maternal blood. These differences were particularly notable in those mothers whose infants showed some physical or neurobehavioral signs of alcohol effects in the first 12 months of life.

“Collectively, our data indicate that maternal plasma miRNAs may help predict infant outcomes and may be useful to classify difficult-to-diagnose FASD subpopulations,” Miranda added.

Page 2 – BLOOD TEST MAY PREDICT FASD

Part of the reason FASD may be difficult to diagnose is infants exposed to the same amount of prenatal alcohol may have vastly different outcomes.

“Although it is generally true that binge-drinking during pregnancy presents the greatest risk, not all women who consume substantial amounts of alcohol in pregnancy will have a child who is clearly affected,” said Christina Chambers, PhD, professor of pediatrics at UC San Diego School of Medicine, principal investigator on the Ukraine project and co-senior author on the study. “That’s why we examined specific biomarkers in the mother’s blood in the second and third trimester of her pregnancy to determine if they are useful in identifying children who could benefit from early interventions.”

Although FASD cannot be cured, early diagnosis is vital. “Early diagnosis is important because it permits early intervention to minimize the harm due to prenatal alcohol exposure,” added Wladimir Wertelecki, MD, the research team leader for the study investigators in the Ukraine. “Good nutrition, better perinatal health care, lowering stress levels and infant care interventions can all improve the outcome of alcohol-affected pregnancies.”

The team’s next steps include repeating this work in other and larger samples of mothers and infants, and determining if these early markers are predictive of longer term developmental outcomes for children exposed to alcohol.

“If we can reset developmental trajectories earlier in life, it is a lot easier than trying to treat disabilities later in life,” Miranda said. “We hope this work will lead to a test that can allow health care providers to identify the mothers and infants most at risk and provide them with extra care for the best outcome possible.”

Medtronic the first to offer complete portfolio of full-body MR conditional neurostimulation systems for chronic pain in Canada

Medtronic Specify^TM SureScan^TM MRI Surgical Leads Rounds Out Exclusive Portfolio Designed for Access to Full-Body MRI^*

BRAMPTON, ON, Nov. 8, 2016 /CNW/ - Medtronic Canada, a subsidiary of Medtronic plc (NYSE:MDT), announced the Health Canada licence and the first Canadian implants of the new Specify™ SureScan™ MRI surgical leads, which are indicated for use as part of Medtronic's implanted neurostimulation systems (also known as spinal cord stimulation, or SCS) for chronic pain. In 2013, Medtronic introduced the first implantable neurostimulation systems for use in the treatment of chronic, intractable back and/or limb pain that are licenced for full-body Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans under specified conditions. The licencing of Specify SureScan MRI surgical leads establishes Medtronic as the only company in Canada with a full portfolio of SCS systems licenced by Health Canada for full-body MRI.* This means physicians in Canada can now offer a Medtronic full-body MR Conditional SCS system best suited for their patients regardless of the type of neurostimulator (rechargeable or non-rechargeable) or lead type (percutaneous or surgical).

"The majority of patients implanted with SCS devices will need MRI studies in the future, and until now they have either undergone other more invasive examinations or had the SCS device explanted. Physicians and patients can now approach this therapy with the confidence that their ability to access future diagnostic procedures won't be lost. This innovation has raised the bar in the delivery of neuromodulation for treatment-refractory neuropathic pain" said Dr. Mohammed F. Shamji MD, PhD, FRCSC, neurosurgeon at the Krembil Neuroscience Centre at Toronto Western Hospital.

"An important development in the field of neuromodulation is the availability of MRI conditional devices. These devices allow for patients to undergo routine MRIs and continue to benefit from neuromodulation therapy - a previously unmet need for many of our patients. Our team is pleased that we can now offer this technology as a potential treatment option." said Dr. Suneil Kalia, MD, PhD, FRCSC, neurosurgeon at the Krembil Neuroscience Centre at Toronto Western Hospital.

Back pain is estimated to affect 8 out of 10 people at some point during their lives.¹ For some people, noninvasive options, such as medication and physical therapy, provide adequate relief; others may require surgery, nerve blocks, or medical devices, such as spinal cord stimulators or drug pumps. Spinal cord stimulators are medical devices implanted under the skin that send mild electrical pulses to an area near the spine. These pulses disrupt the pain signals traveling between the spinal cord and the brain, offering patients effective pain relief and improved function.²

"The use of MRI as a diagnostic tool has grown significantly. Studies show that 82 percent of patients implanted with a SCS are expected to need an MRI within five years of receiving their implant.³ Medtronic appreciates the opportunity to offer physicians the only full portfolio of SCS systems in Canada that allow patients access to full-body MRIs, facilitating optimal patient care and timely interventions," said Sandrine Moirez, senior business director of the Restorative Therapies Group at Medtronic Canada. "Medtronic remains committed to the advancement of spinal cord stimulation therapy overall and continues to drive technological advancements to ensure greater access to MRIs across many of our implanted Medtronic systems, such as pacemakers, ICDs and deep brain stimulation systems."

While the benefits of neurostimulation therapy are well documented, some individuals with an SCS system have traditionally been limited when receiving MRI scans, as the scans produce electromagnetic fields that can damage the device or cause injury to the patient. These patients have the option of undergoing computerized tomography (CT) scans, which work well for imaging bones and other hard materials, but are less effective in examining soft tissue. In some cases, people needing an MRI have had the system explanted prior to imaging.

Additional benefits of the Medtronic Spinal Cord Stimulation Therapy include:

• Technology that is proven to significantly relieve pain for the long term⁴ and help patients get back to the everyday activities they enjoy.²
• The opportunity for patients to "test drive" spinal cord stimulation with an external stimulator for a 3 to 10 day trial period during which they can assess how well the therapy relieves their pain during daily activities before committing to long-term therapy.
• RestoreSensor™ SureScan MRI systems feature Medtronic's AdaptiveStim™ technology, which adjusts stimulation automatically. Patients no longer have to use their programmer to make manual adjustments every time they change position.
• Personalization that empowers patients to manage their own pain therapy by adjusting their stimulation within pre-set limits.

8 Vitamin-packed Foods to include in your Diet for Beautiful Skin

Do you love to have healthy, glowing, beautiful skin?

Well, who doesn’t?

But, the truth is, only people who take very good care of their skin manage to impress others (with their skin). Factors like nutrition, pollution, and stress play an important role in the well-being of the skin of a person.

Even aging does. Did you know that natural aging process for human beings begins in their early 30’s itself? As you grow older, your diet and other external factors will have a big say on the appearance of your skin as well as your physiological functioning.

If you desire to have beautiful skin, then you need to motivate yourself to have nutritious food and exercise every day. Lack of nutrition, in particular, can lead to skin diseases like acne, wrinkles, rosacea, and eczema besides many others. But don’t worry, face creams and masks can help to some extent.

Our body needs vitamins, minerals, proteins, and good fats to function properly. Among these, vitamins are considered the very basic essentials of a healthy body and skin. They help protect the skin from bacteria and also boost the regeneration process. In the rest of the post, you will discover a list of vitamin-rich foods that will help you fix your skin.

1. Cabbage

Cabbage is one of those vegetables that is abundantly rich in Vitamin B6. It also contains adequate quantities of manganese, folate, collagen, and fiber – all of which are very important for the skin. Additionally, cabbage also consists of calcium which is essential for bone strength, and potassium which helps controls blood pressure.

What’s more, cabbage is also a powerhouse of antioxidants and vitamin K which help improve skin elasticity.

2. Red bell pepper

Your skin needs plenty of vitamin C on a daily basis and one of the best ways to obtain that is to include red bell pepper in your diet. Having adequate quantities of vitamin C helps regulate moisture in the skin and prevents wrinkles as well.

3. Avocado

Avocado is known to be a powerful source of vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin E, Vitamin B6, potassium, folate, and folic acid. Including avocado in your diet can help cure dry skin problem and prevent the breakage of the skin. Vitamin E is known to protect the skin from the sun’s harmful rays. What’s more, avocado also provides the required antioxidants and vitamin C to your skin to help improve its firmness so that you look younger than your normal age.

4. Pomegranate

People don’t call pomegranate the “fruit of Gods” without reason. It is one of the best sources of antioxidants among all foods – in fact, it has higher antioxidant content than green tea and wine itself.

The vitamin C present in pomegranates can help your skin look radiant and look younger. As for the health, this fruit is believed to help minimize the risk of cancer.

5. Papaya

Papaya is a natural source of iron, vitamin C, and vitamin E. Having enough vitamin E in your body helps keep your skin moisturized, and look soft and smooth. It also prevents the formation of dark spots and stretch marks, which are common among ladies. Studies say that one fresh papaya can supplement 17% of your daily vitamin E requirement.

6. Lemons and Oranges

No prizes for guessing, lemon and oranges are the go-to fruits for everyone who is looking to get vitamin C in his or her body naturally. In fact, having more vitamin C also helps boost collagen, which plays a major role in the appearance of your skin. People who take collagen regularly are safe from wrinkles and many age-related skin problems.

7. Mushrooms

Including mushrooms in your diet is a good idea because they are loaded with vitamin B2 and Riboflavin. In particular, vitamin B2 is said to be water-soluble in nature and helps safeguard the cells from regenerative damages. Lack of vitamin B2 can cause wrinkles and other health problems like migraines, cracks, and sore throat. What’s more, mushrooms also contain collagen which is believed to improving the elasticity of the skin.

8. Kale

Kale is rich in several important vitamins for the skin. It has vitamin A which helps repair the tissues during radical damage. It has vitamin K which is known to prevent dark eye circles and pigmentation problems. Most importantly, it also has vitamin C which is a powerful antioxidant. On the whole, you need kale to get a radiant skin that is free from blemishes and abrasions.

Also, taking kale on a daily basis helps boost cell growth and even prevents dryness.

Conclusion

The foods covered in this post are loaded with the most important vitamins that prevent everything from dryness to acne to age-related problems. What’s even better is that they are also delicious and can be eaten raw or half-cooked. If you have a great cook at your home, then try tossing these foods to make a tasty, health-rich recipe and have a fun way of protecting your skin.

Dr. Spiezia - Co-founder and Formulator

Medical herbalist and skin expert at The Walsingham Natural Health Center in Turo, Italy, Dr. Mariano Spiezia has been considered the father of the organic beauty movement in Britain and was voted one of the Top 25, “Who’s who in natural beauty” in 2012 and 2013, 2015 and again in 2016. Dr. Spiezia graduated in Medicine and Surgery in Italy in the early 1980s, and has since worked on combining orthodox medicine with the extraordinary power of nature.

The Bio-lipophilic Matrix ®

For years Dr Spiezia has studied these connections with the idea of empowering the ingredients he uses with a higher frequency to gain a positive resonance on people’s skin and overall health. The result of this research is the Bio-lipophilic Matrix®, which is now at the core of each individual Inlight skincare product.

The Bio-lipophilic Matrix® consists of a specific blend of pure organic, cold-pressed oils selected for their high bio-chemical affinity to the lipidic human skin layer. Prior to production, they are energized by Dr. Spiezia’s bespoke techniques, which combine ancient traditions with modern science. These techniques heighten the oils’ vital force and help re-attune the skin to harmony, health and beauty. This enhanced blend of oils forms the heart of every Inlight product.

The core feature of Inlight’s formulations lies most importantly in the synergy between the individual ingredients. Other key factors are Dr. Spiezia’s medical expertise and Inlight’s carefully designed manual production, including its herbal oil, the base of all INLIGHT products, obtained by infusing the selected herbs in oils. The resultant herbal oil is extremely rich in beta-carotene, antioxidants, and pigments such as chlorophyll.

Entirely Plant Based, Inlight Skincare is suitable for vegetarians and Inlight oils are suitable for vegans. In addition, all Inlight products are microbiologically and nickel tested in the high tech labs of the Centre of Homeopathic Medicine in Naples (CeMON).

Inlight proudly displays the BUAV accreditation to demonstrate that none of our products or their ingredients has ever been tested on animals.

Environmentally Mindful Packaging

o   Inlight packaging is all recycled (glass jars up to 98% recycled), recyclable or biodegradable, and Inlight only uses vegetable-based inks. Even maize filler is GM free and will biodegrade over time.

o   Inlight stunning eco-glam boxes contain no extra insert, everything we want you to read is printed on the beautiful interior. Just open the glue-free box and enjoy reading!

o   Every new material is subject to intense scrutiny to ensure we make the best environmental choice.

o   The use of plastic is minimal, and strictly where no realistic alternative exists. Where possible a recyclable plastic is selected (eg. our ointment labels).

o   Inlight re-uses packaging wherever possible.

o   Nothing is wasted, even herb pizza, left at the end of a production cycle, is fed to the cows on Roskilly’s organic dairy farm where Inlight has a workshop.

o   Inlight recycles or composts all office waste, including print cartridges and tea bags.

o   Inlight turns off electric appliances whenever possible.

o   All but one of Inlight's team walks to work.

Embracing the whole body from top to toe, our deeply warming Body Oil will rejuvenate, promoting suppleness and elasticity, whilst its partner the Firm & Tone oil with its high concentrations of active plant oils and astringent plant extracts will leave skin toned and smooth. Restorative Body Butter will pamper, soothe and replenish the skin with its rich formulation and our exquisite Foot & Leg Balm is the perfect answer to revive tired, aching feet and melt away dry, rough skin.

How to use: For the most beneficial effect, apply each of these products after a warm bath or shower when the skin is relaxed, warm and can readily absorb their bio-active nutrients. Massage gently into the appropriate area for long-lasting moisturizing effect.
