Would Life be better without any stress?

According to new research from the University of California, Berkeley, a little stress may not be too bad for us after all. While chronic stress may be harmful, acute (short-term) stress may actually boost our cognitive function.

Maddie Oatman says, a few years ago, after a gnarly bout of giardia earned from a few months studying in India, and the ensuing rounds of antibiotics prescribed to kill the bugs, I began to take a probiotic supplement to recoup. I was hoping for something to help me digest, and for some new microorganisms to repopulate my intestine and fend off bad bacteria.

Inflammatory bowel disease and Crohns present with unique hormonal issues. Inflammation, malnutrition and the medications used to treat the inflammation can slow the onset of menses in teen patients, and can prevent menstruation in women with active symptoms.

New research suggests that probiotic microorganisms, such as those more commonly used in yoghurt, could help bone marrow transplant for patients with blood cancers.

Some patients with lymphoma, myeloma and leukemia are treated with an "allogeneic" bone marrow transplant where the donor is a blood relative or is unrelated but has the same tissue type.

One problem that can arise is "graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)". Here donated cells can generate an immune attack against cancer cells in the patient, but can also attack normal healthy cells & tissues.

According to research published in the January issue of Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, depressive symptoms are associated with a two-fold increase in risk of Crohn's disease (CD) but not ulcerative colitis (UC).
