You may ask. AT stands for Atherothrombosis that is largely unrecognized by the people on the street. AT is a global disease that can lead to heart attack, stroke, or peripheral arterial disease PAD which requires amputation. AT starts when deposits such as cholesterol build up in the walls of our arteries. These deposits, more commonly known as plaque, gradually restrict the flow of oxygen-rich blood throughout the body. As blood flows over the plaque, stress and wear forces are exerted on the plaque surface. Just like a time bomb, the plaque may eventually rupture. This acute event causes platelets in the blood to stick to the plaque and to other platelets forming a blood clot. This clot can restrict or completely stop the flow of blood to part of the heart or brain, giving rise to a heart attack or stroke. Diabetes, hypertension, and old age can also lead to AT. It is, therefore, critical to treat atherothrombosis and reduce the risk of a life-threatening clot forming. Heart patients should particularly be aware that, if they have suffered from a heart attack before, they also have a condition that may affect the whole body including the brain and legs.

When you are dressed up really, really nice, like wearing your best suit when we say nice, we mean business nice, not out on the town nice necessarily. We re talking about something you d wear to go present at a conference. Do you feel like you can harness the power of your ADD to get more done. Well then, and this is true for people with or without ADD if you re having a difficult time or whatever, shower and shave or fix your hair, then put on your suit and crank. You ll find yourself sitting up straighter, breathing more clearly, acting more confident, all because you re more confident. It s huge in order to eliminate all ADD distractions and get the proper mindset. When you have ADD, it s important to set yourself up for success every day, because you don t want to have that experience where you get to the end of the day and say, Dang, where did the day go. I didn t get anything done. It s about being successful, not worrying about what didn t happen. With ADD, it s hard, but each morning, sit down and think, Okay, what does my day look like. Check your calendar for appointments. You can do this the night before; you can do it in the morning, whichever works best...

The road to Germany in the qualifying process was rather easy for the Mexican squad. They open the six-team round with an important victory in San Jose over the Costa Rica National Team, one of the fiercest rivalries in the CONCACAF. After that the whole eliminatory went as smooth as anyone would expected except for the loss against USA in American soil. The Mexican team has been showing a great soccer level over the past decade where they ve been in the top ten of the FIFA World Rankin in many opportunities and more recently since 2005 in the top five. Their recent participation in the 2005 FIFA Confederation Cup puts all eyes on them. They beat the World Champions Brazil in a dramatic game 1-0 in their favor. They put up quite a fight in the semi-finals against Argentina only to lose with a dubious penalty against them. After that they match Germany in the game for the third place and loss in extra time 4-3. Mexico announced the final 23 man squad that will be traveling to Germany including foreign-born Antonio Naelson and Guillermo Franco; plus La Volpe s son-in-law Rafael Garcia. On the other hand, there has been no place for Cuauhtemoc Blanco, who many regard as...

Amongst the diseases that have frequently gripped Americans, Epilepsy is also the one. Though epilepsy allows its patients to lead a normal life yet the disease can be fatal due to the unexpected occurrence of seizures. Epilepsy can basically be defined as a disorder of the nervous system that causes a person to become unconscious suddenly, often with violent movements of the body. This attack that affects the individual s brain is termed as seizure . Seizures happen due to the large electrical activity in the cranium the bone structure that forms the head and borders and protects the brain . An epileptic is hit by a seizure suddenly any time and anywhere. Every individual has his own resistance to fight these seizures which is known as the seizure threshold. The minimum the seizure threshold, frequent are the seizure attacks and impacts. Seizures vary from person to person; a person during this attack behaves according to the kind of seizure. Causes of Epilepsy- It is very difficult to trace the exact foundations of this disease. However, there is a threefold division made in this regard- 1. Symptomatic Epilepsy- the case of epilepsy in which the reasons behind the...

Diarrhea is defined as frequent, loose, watery stools or an abnormal increase in the frequency and water content of the stool. All stools or bowel movements contain water. However, when the water content increases or becomes excessive and the frequency of the stools increase this is known as diarrhea. It is important to know what a normal bowel frequency is for you. For some people three soft formed stools per day is not abnormal. But for others, three stools per day would be a significant increase in their normal bowel frequency and when that increase in frequency is accompanied by an increase in water content then this is identified as diarrhea. Diarrhea occurs because there is not enough liquid absorbed by the colon. When we eat, the food we take in is mixed with large amounts of water as a part of the digestion process. So by the time the food mixture reaches the colon it is essentially a liquid substance. Then the water is absorbed by the colon leaving a soft, formed stool. It is when there is a problem with the absorption of the water or perhaps a problem with the colon itself when diarrhea occurs. There are many causes of diarrhea and happily most occurrences...
