14 April 2014 22:10 The doping case against Sassuolo's Francesco Acerbi has been dismissed by the Italian National Olympic Committee (CONI). The defender was found to have abnormal levels of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in his blood stream - a substance that can be produced by cancerous cells - after his side's Serie A match with Cagliari on December 1, landing him a suspension from the governing body. Although a naturally occurring substance, hCG produces effects similar to anabolic steroids, and is therefore banned in many sports. However, a Sassuolo statement in December subsequently confirmed that Acerbi - who has been treated for testicular cancer in the past - had suffered a relapse, with the player subsequently launching an appeal over his suspension. That appeal was heard on January 8 and the ban was overturned, and on Monday CONI released a statement confirming that the 26-year-old's case had been dismissed. "The national anti-doping tribunal has accepted the request by the anti-doping agency to declare Francesco Acerbi, a member of club Sassuolo, not responsible for any violation of the anti-doping rules," the statement read.

THURSDAY, May 22, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Illegal online pharmacies that sell unapproved and potentially dangerous prescription drugs to Americans were targeted this week in a worldwide operation, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Thursday. More than 19,600 packages containing medicines supposedly from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Great Britain were seized in the action, which involved authorities from 111 countries, the FDA said in a news release. The packages actually contained unapproved or suspected fake drugs from countries such as China, India, Laos, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore and Taiwan, as well as Australia, New Zealand and Great Britain, the agency reported. In the United States, officials inspected shipments at international mail facilities in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City and seized or detained 583 packages. Many of the packages contained illegal prescription medicines that had been ordered online. These drugs ordered by U.S. consumers included drugs such as insulin, glaucoma eye drops (bimatoprost), the pain reliever tramadol and medications for erectile dysfunction -- tadalafil and sildenafil citrate. Hormone medications including estrogen and human chorionic gonadotropin were also seized. "When consumers buy prescription drugs from outside the legitimate supply chain, they cannot know if the medicines they receive are … Read more »

Rock Hill, SC (PRWEB) May 30, 2014 With the rise in obesity, the most common question doctors face daily in their practice is about weight loss. Will this pill or potion or powder or syrup help with weight loss? Here is the answer from doctors at Ace Medical Weight Loss Center, a medical practice dedicated to fight obesity. Before looking for what to do for weight loss, one must know what not to do or take for weight loss, says Dr. Sandeep Grewal, a physician and weight loss expert. Dr. Myo Nwe and Dr. Sandeep Grewal spearhead the fight against obesity from their clinic in Rock Hill, South Carolina. They warn about twelve dangerous ingredients in weight loss supplements and in pills and potions available on the shelves of the drug stores or on the internet. Many of these weight loss medicines or ingredients are over the counter, but that does not make them safe, says Dr. Myo Nwe. She continues to explain that many of the drugs available for weight loss are actually banned in the United States and other countries. The Internet has made it so easy for bad people to sell these banned drugs to unsuspecting consumers. … Read more »

REUTERS/Akhtar Soomro Polio vaccinators waiting for police protection before leaving for their target areas to administer the vaccine in Karachi October 21, 2014. When it comes to vaccination, religious leaders have not always been on the side of the angels. While Church health programmes have often been in the forefront of the practice, vaccination has also been viewed with suspicion by fundamentalists and conspiracy theorists albeit sometimes with good reason. Arguably, the latest example of this is to be found in Kenya, where Roman Catholic bishops have urged people not to be vaccinated against tetanuson the grounds that the vaccine has been laced with a contraceptive drug. The vaccine is aimed at women in their childbearing years and the bishops say that it is being used as a population control measure. However, theWorld Health Organisation (WHO) and UNICEF, which are running the programme to immunise 2.4 million women, expressed in a statement for Christian Today their "deep concern about the misinformation circulating in the media" about the vaccine. The statement said: "The allegations are that the tetanus vaccine used by the Government of Kenya and UN agencies is contaminated with a hormone (hCG) that can cause miscarriages and render some … Read more »

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is available in two forms. One is a powder derived from the urine of pregnant women which needs to be dissolved in sterile water, loaded into a syringe, and injected intoa muscle (usually the buttocks). The other (Ovidrel) is a more expensive but more convenient product produced by recombinant technology, pre-packaged into a syringe for injection (subcutaneously=under the skin) with a short needle. hCGis used in some patients who are usually receiving other fertility drugs in order to trigger ovulation. The eggs are released from their follicles about 40 hours after the hCG injection. Artificial insemination will usually be scheduled for 36-44 hours after the hCG injection when a single insemination is planned, or at approximately 24 and 48 hours after the hCG injection when two inseminations are to be done. Throughout an IVF cycle, gonadotropin fertility medications are injected daily for approximately ten days. The fertility medications cause the ovarian follicles, which are the grape-like structures that contain the egg, grow and secrete estrogen. The hormone concentrations in the blood are measured, and the follicle sizes in the ovary are monitored by ultrasound. When the follicles are the appropriate size, another gonadotropin product called human … Read more »

Yale researchers found avoiding a cold could be as simple as wrapping up Here are some other health mantras you might have dismissed By Angela Epstein for the Daily Mail Published: 19:05 EST, 19 January 2015 | Updated: 19:25 EST, 19 January 2015 An apple a day may reduce the risk of heart attack We may not have taken mum's homespun advice seriously when we were younger, however increasing evidence now suggests that some of her nuggets of so-called wisdom may contain more than a grain of truth, especially when it comes to our health. Earlier this month researchers at Yale University found that avoiding a cold could be as simple as wrapping up when you venture out in winter, just as your mother always told you. A cold virus typically enters through the nose. In a study of mice, the researchers found that the immune response was greater if the nose temperature was 37c (body temperature) compared with 33c, and concluded that a scarf over the nose could help ward off illness. Here are some other health mantras you might have dismissed as silly, but which contain important advice for our wellbeing. AN APPLE A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR … Read more »
