Indian Surgeon Claims Surgical Cure for Diabetes!
Dr. Teeth 31 July, 2008
(7) Comment Dr Shashank Shah, a Pune-based bariatric surgeon, claims to have discovered a surgical cure for type II diabetes, and boasts of an impressive 90% success rate. Should Dr Shah’s claims be confirmed, he stands to help solve one of modern medicine greatest dilemmas: how to thwart the growing epidemic of type II diabetes.
Leading medical experts in the United States have been impressed with Shah’s methods and his data. So much so, that the Cleveland Clinic, one of the world’s foremost hospitals, has sponsored an interaction between Dr Shah and 250 of America’s top doctors, diabetologists and endocronologists, to happen this Friday.
Dr Shah will speak for twenty minutes, via video conference, from the Ruby Hall Clinic in Pune, to doctors and consultants at the Cleveland Clinic and around the country. The topic will be, “Metabolic Surgery for Type II Diabetes in the Asian Context”, and afterward, Dr Shah will then be open to the American specialists for questioning.

Caught on the Net? The Onus is Yours!
Dr. Teeth 28 July, 2008
(8) Comment Can security agencies arrest you if an e-mail sent from your computer implicates you in a case of cyber-terrorism?
Currently, the answer appears to be “yes” despite the fact that e-mail IDs can be spoofed (faked) and IP addresses (your computer’s identity when surfing) manipulated with ease.
Security agencies recently discovered that the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the sender of the e-mail — warning of the Ahmedabad blasts — originated in a flat in Navi Mumbai that was rented by a foreign national, who has been implicated in the case.
However, experts note that cyber-terrorists could have remotely hacked into the computer and sent the e-mail via a trojan. A trojan is the oldest way of tricking you to load a programme that gives a hacker access to your computer.

16 Bomb Blasts Rocked Indian City Today Claiming 32 Innocent Lives
Dr. Teeth 26 July, 2008
(10) Comment At least 16 small bombs exploded in the Indian city of Ahmedabad on Saturday, killing at least 32 people and wounding more than 150, a day after another set of blasts in the country’s IT hub.
On Friday, eight bombs exploded in quick succession in the southern information technology city of Bangalore, killing at least one person and wounding six others.
Saturday’s blasts were in Ahmedabad’s crowded old city dominated by its Muslim community. “The blasts occurred in 90 minutes, one in a hospital, others in the old city of Ahmedabad,” Narendra Modi, the state’s Hindu-nationalist chief minister told reporters.
There were two separate series of bombings, the first near busy market places. A second quick succession of bombs went off 20 to 25 minutes later around a hospital, where at least six people died, police said.

Now, a Drug Claims to Aid Smoking Cessation!
Dr. Teeth 23 July, 2008
(5) Comment Here is good news for those who want to kick the smoking habit as a new drug claims to help smokers overcome their addiction. Unlike other smoking cessation solutions that work only on controlling the withdrawal symptoms, Champix - a drug by Pfizer — reduces withdrawal symptoms and smoker’s sense of satisfaction derived from smoking, says its manufacturer.
“Both nicotine (found in cigarettes and responsible for addiction to smoking) and Varenicline act on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the brain, which is associated with the addictive effects of nicotine,” says Dr Sajeela Maini, a Delhi-based smoking cessation therapist. “When the varenicline binds to these receptors it releases levels of dopamine that are required for normal functioning of the body.
Hence, it reduces the craving to smoke and eases the withdrawal symptoms,” she says. The unique drug researched and developed by Pfizer helps people to overcome smoking addiction, said Maini.

Why men are most active sexually from late 20s
Dr. Teeth 19 July, 2008
(14) Comment If you think men can simply ignore their biological clock, think again as a new study shows that their fertility is just as susceptible to the effects of time as that of women.
A French study of over 12,200 couples having fertility treatment suggests the chance of a successful pregnancy falls when the man is aged over 35.
The quality of sperm begins to deteriorate in the mid-thirties and by the time a man is 45, one in three pregnancies end in miscarriage regardless of the age of the mother, the study says.
The researchers studied couples who had sought treatment for infertility at the Eylau Centre for Assisted Reproduction in Paris between January 2002 and December 2006.
All were given intrauterine inseminations (IUI), also known as artificial insemination, where sperm is inserted into the womb when the woman is ovulating.

Long Drives, Mobile Use Can Cause Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Dr. Teeth 16 July, 2008
(6) Comment Researchers at Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas have found that hours in the car can cause carpal tunnel syndrome and that the risk increases if the motorist talks on cell phone while driving.
“Repeated, prolonged gripping of anything-whether it’s a steering wheel or a tool-can contribute to carpal tunnel syndrome,” said Jennifer Valle, occupational therapist and certified hand therapist, Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas.
“There are activities you can do and modifications you can make to help alleviate the risk of developing carpal tunnel,” she added.
Following are some tips to ease the problem:
- Switch the hand you drive with-periodically using your left, then your right.
- Keep your hand in line with your elbow and your wrist straight.
“If you imagine the steering wheel as a clock, the best position to put your wrist in would actually be at three o’clock and nine o’clock,” Valle said.

Meet the Brit man who is turning into a woman - naturally!
Dr. Teeth 13 July, 2008
(6) Comment A Brit man is seeking help from medical experts after he started turning into a woman naturally.
Pub singer Terry Wright started losing his hair and beard ten years ago and since then he has developed smooth skin, hot flushes and boobs.
The father-of-five has revealed that kids living nearby make fun him by calling him ‘She-Man’.
According to his blood tests, the 60-year-old has abnormally high levels of the female hormone oestrogen.
And doctors who have examined him say that they have never seen such a case - and do not know what to do to reverse the process.
Wright, of Birmingham, is now begging medical experts to help him.
“I am a man, not a woman. And I do not want to be a woman. I just want to get my life back to normal,” The Sun quoted him, as saying.

Eat Chocolate for Breakfast to Lose Weight!
Dr. Teeth 11 July, 2008
(12) Comment 
Here’s some good news from all those chocolate lovers trying to lose weight - instead of shunning your favourite sweet, dig into it for breakfast.Wondering just how this is going to help you shed those extra pounds? Well as it turns out, eating chocolate is part of the new ‘Big Breakfast’ weight-loss plan that involves 700-calories worth of carbohydrates into your body when you wake up.
Along with 30g of chocolate, you will also have to dig into a glass of milk, two slices of cheese, 85g of lean meat and two slices of buttered whole-grain toast every morning.
Doctor Daniela Jakubowicz, who has used the diet on her patients for 15 years, told the Daily Express that the breakfast works because it helps curb hunger cravings later in the day.

Facts About Oral Cancer!
Dr. Teeth 9 July, 2008
(4) Comment Oral cancer is one of the few forms of cancer that has not experienced a significantly deceased mortality rate in the last 30 years. Deaths from oral cancer are higher than from cervical, testicular or thyroid cancer. It is estimated that more than 340,000 Indians will develop oral cancer in 2009 and that one Indian dies of this disease every hour of the day. The five year survival rate for oral cancer is approximately 50 percent, but early detection can result in survival rates of 80 percent or higher. The ideal opportunity for early detection of cancerous or pre-cancerous growths is during the annual hygiene examination. Unfortunately, the cellular changes that lead to oral cancer start below the surface of the epithelium at the basement membrane, making them difficult to detect by conventional screening methods.

Hard Time with Indiatimes and SignDomains!
Dr. Teeth 7 July, 2008
(4) Comment You might be wondering what the heck happened to DentoCafe.com!
This is the 4th day the forum is down and i am very disappointed.
All the credit goes to Indiatimes.com and Signdomains.com.
About an year back i had registered two of my domains at Indiatimes.com website and its been going fine till now until i had to change the nameservers last week. Sigdomains has a reseller account with Indiatimes and when i registered i received the control panel from Signdomains.com/Indiatimes/
I have been struggling to see my site up, my host was also very anxious to know as to why it’s taking such a long time for changing the nameservers. I had shot them numerous mails with no response at all, finally i gave them a call today and was told that the issue would be taken care of.
