Zen and the Art of the Resolution

Posted by Leo Queale · Leave a Comment 

Okay. Here we are. 2012.

Whats your Resolution?

Im not going to bore you with the statistics on Resolutions and how many people drop their health and fitness Resolutions before the end of January. There really is no need: you all have friends who you have watched make and break those promises. You may have made the promises to yourself, only to decide in the first few weeks of the year that life was better without being burdened with all those chains.

But the start of the New Year is a brilliant time to turn over a new leaf. Heres the catch: the leaf is delicate and if you turn it over with a big iron fist, its going to tear (oooooh imagery!).

Clinical significance of serum lipids in idiopathic pulmonary alveolar proteinosis

Posted by Christopher Reeks · Leave a Comment 

It is well known that pulmonary alveolar proteinosis(PAP) is characterised by accumulation of surfactant lipids and proteins within airspaces. However, few previous data describe the serum lipid levels associated with PAP. Materials and methods: We retrospectively reviewed 25 patients with idiopathic PAP(iPAP). The serum lipid levels of patients with idiopathic PAP were compared with those of the healthy volunteers. In patients and healthy subjects, the LDL-C/HDL-C ratios were 2.94+/-1.21 and 1.60+/-0.70, respectively (p <0.001), HDL-C were 1.11+/-0.27 and 1.71+/-0.71 respectively (p <0.001). The values of LDL-C correlated significantly with those of PaO2 and PA-aO2 (r=-0.685, p=0.003, and r=0.688, p=0.003, respectively).

1) After a holiday season of too much beer, food, chocolate, beer, late nights, junk and beer (!) a great start is to systematically just completely eliminate all the junk from your diet. There are an entire category of diets and plans out there but my favorite is from Dax Moy and is entitled simply the Elimination Diet.This involves eliminating caffeine, alcohol, wheat, red meat, sugar, artificial sweeteners and dairy amongst others.
