Is Cigarette injurious or good for health?

We think nicotine, which comes in form of Cigartte, is injurious for health, but recently one news company has announced that Nicotine could also stop causes of death. 

As a cigarette, thousands of people are dying in US. Immunologist Luis Ulloa has found that nicotine can reverse this condition named Sepis, which kills approx 250,000 Americans in a year. 

Immune cells send some chemical messengers named cytokines, when our body, respond on any infection. These cytokines force a blood to clot. This will help not to spread threatening material in whole body. People get confused in the early stage of Sepis, and this is cause of fever and rapid heart attack. Therefore, this nicotine makes immune system strong. 

According to previous studies, smokers get less infection of another disease of immune system, called Ulcerative colitis, whereas non-smoker is easily infected. 

Researchers are doing research to use this nicotine as an anti-inflammatory for sepsis, at North Shore University Hospital in Long Island. 

When Wine is NOT for You - Negative Effects of Wine that People Might Have Forgotten

It is quite obvious that majority of wine's harmful effects can be acquired by abusing it since it is indeed an alcoholic drink. And like all alcoholic drinks, wine consumption should be done in moderation. However, wine also have certain adverse effects at normal levels and such is why you should carefully ponder whether or not wine is for you before downing the next vintage bottle you get. 

Wine has been found to aggravate certain physical conditions and illnesses. It is therefore unwise to consume wine if you have these or are prone to these diseases. If you have the following conditions or you have a history with them then wine is probably not for you:

- Liver diseases, liver infection or liver cirrhosis
- Sleeping disorders such as insomnia, apnea, hypersomnia, and the like
- Sexual problems such as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, low sex drives, etc.
- Esophageal infections and other diseases of the esophagus
- Stomach infections and other conditions such as stomach ulcers
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease or Acid Reflux
- Pancrease infection
- Family history of dementia
- Memory problems and family history of severe memory diseases such as Korsakoff syndrome or Alzheimer's disease
- Family history of cancers in the mouth, breast, larynx, throat and intestines
- Hypertension or other heart problems such as cardiac arythmia
- Family history of alcoholism
- Psychological illnesses such as depression, bipolar syndrome, schizophrenia, dissociative identity disorder, attention deficit disorder, among many others

2012 and scientific facts on what will happen

First, the Mayan calendar is also sometimes called the Aztec Calendar. This calendar is recorded as a carving on the Aztec "sun stone," currently on exhibit in the National Museum of Anthropology and History located within Chapultepec Park, Mexico City. There's a lot we could say about this carved stone but most of those details are irrelevant to the "end times."
Our modern calendar, called the Gregorian Calendar, has days, weeks, months and years. In the Mayan Calendar it's more complex. In fact, it's really three calendars at the same time.
First there's a religious calendar that takes 260 days to complete a full religious cycle. There are 20 "weeks" made up of 13 days. Each week has a special name, a graphic logo and unique meaning associated with it. This reminds me of the Chinese years which cycle through "the year of the rat" and "the year of the monkey," etc., each with it's special image and meaning.

Graphic logos for each of the 20 religious weeks.
Next there is the solar calendar. This has 365 days, like our modern calendar. It's divided in 18 months of 20 days each. At the end of the cycle there's five special days considered to be unlucky because they don't belong to any month. Each of the months has a special name, graphic logo and some special significance, similar to the icons for the weeks in the religious calendar.
So it is possible, for any specific date, the calculate the religious week and the solar month and to predict the influences that might be guiding fate. But that's not really what's involved with the prophecy of 2012. To understand that we must look at the third calendar, called the long count.
While the first two cycles could be thought of as cogs or gears (see below) revolving through time, the long count is a linear number of days, starting from the first day, "1," and counting through each day to the present. Any day in history can be recorded using the long count and, with some simple mathematics, the corresponding religious week and solar month can also be found.
In writing this article, I thought about creating a javascript program that would do this calculation. My friend, Gene Matlock, then told me that when he was in Mexico, he found a place that sold wooden, mechanical calculators with gears that did just that. He said that Mexicans sometimes used these mechanical calendars to foretell the future or to find auspicious times for special events like marriage or births. Anyway, although it might be nice to know the religious and solar significance, it's the long count that foretells Doomsday.

Cog or "gears" can be used to compute the religious and solar cycles for any date.
The days of the long count are numbered with an unusual system. Instead of writing numbers as we do, from right to left with each place being a multiple of 10 (i.e. 10000, 1000, 100, 10, 1), the Mayans had only 5 places.
The first place recorded a number from 0 to 20. To the left, the second place could have a range from 0 to 17; the third from 0 to 19; the fourth from 0 to 19 and the last from 0 to 12. The numbers were written from right to left, like our system, separated by a dot. Instead of multiples of 10, the first place had a multiple of 1 (like our system); the second place a multiple of 20; the third a multiple of 360; the fourth a multiple of 7200 and the fifth a multiple of 144000.
So a long count number, for example, could be written as 4.12.5.9.0 and would be calculated as follows:
(4 x 144000) + (12 x 7200) + (5 x 360) + (9 x 20) + (0 x 1) or a long count of 664,380.
It's not too difficult to realize that the maximum number which can be recorded this way would be 12.19.19.17.20, although some researchers like to write it as 13.0.0.0.0. This amounts to a long count number of 1,872,000 days or 5125.36 years of our modern calculations. Obviously, the calendar is very old!
Over the years, archaeologists have found carved monuments that recorded the long count for known dates in Mayan history. Once a date was fixed in time, it was easy to determine "day 1" as August 11th, 3114 BC. And it was also easy to calculate the date at which the calendar would end -- December 21st, 2012.
Trust me, just because the calendar ends doesn't prove that time, or the world, or life will end. We need to look carefully at December 21, 2012 and try to understand why the Mayans never calculated a date beyond this point in time. To do this we must move from Archaeology to the science of Astronomy and Astrophysics.
It's all about the Sun
It's ironic (or maybe not) that the Mayan Calendar is often called the "sun stone." While the calendar does have "solar" days, acknowledging the 365 days it takes for Earth to rotate around the Sun, it is also true that the Sun plays a key role in the final day of the "long count." To understand what will happen to the Sun on December 21, 2012, we need to review some scientific terms like "ecliptic," "barycenter," and "sunspots." These are important in the discussion that follows. We'll start with the most difficult one first.

Swine Flu Safety Dos and Don'ts

Should you strap on a face mask, keep your kid off the schoolbus, or start an emergency food stash? Here, the panicky woman's guide to navigating the swine flu hype. 

After a few days of non-stop swine flu coverage, many of us are starting to feel a bit panicky: Is this just media hype, or should we really be worried? Is there anything else I should be doing to keep my family safe? After all, when Vice President Joe Biden declares he's told his family to stop flying and avoid subways because of swine flu fears, why shouldn't you do it too?

To find out what's really worth the worry—and what's a waste of your time—we talked Dos and Don'ts with Myron S. Cohen, MD, director of the Institute of Global Health and Infectious Disease at UNC Chapel Hill. "Overall, it's about doing what makes you comfortable, as long as it's not crazy," he says. Here's what else he had to say:

DO'S:

Germ-proof your skin: Wash your hands well and often. Not every 10 minutes, but when it makes sense, like after using the bathroom, touching common objects at work—like the microwave or printer—or returning home from the grocery store. Use warm water and soap, and rub your hands together for about 20 seconds.

Pack Purell in your kid's backpack: The classic germ-killer can be 99% effective in 20 seconds, says Cohen. Slathering it on throughout the day can minimize the chance that your child will transmit potential germs on his hands to his mouth and nose, where the virus enters the body. Keep a bottle in your purse too.

Keep your distance. "Critical closeness—less than 6 to 10 feet—is required to catch airborne viruses," explains Cohen. That means avoiding close contact with people who are coughing or sneezing, but it doesn't mean you should hole up at home and never go out in public until the swine flu passes.

Call the doctor if you think it's flu. "Some people think everything that's an infection is the flu, but there's actually a very specific cluster of symptoms to worry about," he says. These include:


Almost always: Fever, cough, muscle aches, and headaches.

Sometimes: Runny nose, red eyes, nausea and vomiting

Take the right meds: Antivirals like Tamiflu will only help if you actually have the flu.                 They're most effective in the first 2 days of illness onset, so if you have suspicious symptoms, call your doctor right away. Your doctor may also recommend a fever-reducer like Tylenol or an NSAID like ibuprofen for muscle pain relief.

Remember, never give aspirin to children or teens with the flu (or any virus); this can cause a rare but serious condition called Reye's Syndrome

DON'T:

Skip public transportation or cancel air travel: "I think this is going overboard for right now," says Cohen, despite VP Biden's advice to the contrary. "Remember, at this point only .0001% of the population has swine flu."

Keep your kid out of school. Schools with individual cases are being closed. If you live in a community or state with no instances of swine flu, there's no need to keep your child home.

Banish the schoolbus. Wondering whether it's safer to chauffeur your child to school yourself? Don't feel like you have to, says Cohen. "If it makes you feel more comfortable, there's no downside, but this not something I'd recommend yet.

Stock up on face masks. The CDC has said they're not necessary for people who don't work in healthcare jobs, and Cohen agrees. "Wear a face mask if you have swine flu, so the virus is contained better. For the rest of us, you're much better off just focusing on hand washing and avoiding people who are visibly sick."

Start an emergency food and water stash. "That is crazy, crazy, crazy," he says. "You have to be rational about this. There's no evidence that we are going to have influenza so vast and out of control that we have to shut down grocery stores.
