Mechanical Pushes With Hands Are Adequate For Heart Patients For Survival!
Heart patient collapses suddenly due to breathlessness. Under this condition, cardiopulmonary resuscitation is resorted to by doctors wherein the heart pumping is reactivated with mechanical pushes to the chest and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. American Researchers have now found that it is adequate to just press on the chest without the mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. What is more important is mechanical activation of heart by forcing some blood and oxygen to the brain and other vital organs to sustain important functions of the body.
This revelation is welcome news for all good Samaritans and passers-by who are most willing to advocate simple mechanical pushes to the chest skipping mouth-to-mouth action. People do have reservation to attempt mouth-to-mouth as they feel it is complicated and messy.
Studies reveal survival rate as high as 12% if CPR is administered at the right time by bystanders without any hesitation and the inevitable delay.
Folks, please make a note of this piece of information and go ahead with mechanical pushes for such heart problems in future.

Socializing Is The Best Cure For Cancer Patients!
Researchers in UK believe that socializing is good for effective combating of cancer related diseases. The stress caused by socializing activities results in shrinking of the malignant tumors and its ultimate remission.
Scientists in the USA focus on the environment and living conditions of cancer patients rather than the traditional clinical treatments like chemotherapy, radiation treatment and surgery. The laboratory experiments do not emphasize on pain reduction treatment; on the other hand they insist that the patient be provided with a rich and quality life physically and socially. The absence of negative and gloomy thoughts coupled with positive and energetic socializing tendency enhances high level of particular type of protein which shuts the production of leptin, a hormone; in turn the hormone inhibits tumor growth.
Though at experimental stage, the concept is a quantum jump from the traditional drab treatment of cancer which only demoralizes the patient rapidly aggravating painful death. Let us give a helping hand to our cancer patients and promote their socializing opportunities.
