What Foods You Should or Shouldn't Eat

You are what you eat. There's a reason that saying is an old classic. Studies today show that our microbiome, or in other words the bacteria that make up about half our body - influences us much more than do our genes. They have a lot to say about whether we get sick, how we feel and develop, how much risk we have of age-related diseases and even our daily mood. Most of these come from the foods we eat.

Besides, these foods build our bodies, and the wrong foods can create the wrong body for us. Below you'll find some of our best posts about the wrong and the right foods for you, do some homework and maybe you'll discover some combinations you can hope to adopt or stop using.

10 Foods That Resemble the Organs They Help
You are what you eat, but as it turns out, there is a larger similarity between the human body and food than we initially thought. We found 10 foods that look a lot like the body part they actually help. A coincidence? Maybe, but it doesn't take away from this handy advice!

1. Carrot - Eyes
If you slice a carrot, you will easily identify the similarities between this vegetable and the eye. Indeed, the carrot is wonderful for the eyes; it's rich in vitamins and antioxidants such as beta carotene, which diminish the risk of ocular degeneration, the number one reason for loss of sight among adults.

2. Walnut - Brain
The folds, wrinkles and shape of the walnut are reminiscent of that of the brain, and it's little wonder that walnuts are called "brain food". Walnuts are full of linoleic alpha acid, an Omega 3 fatty acid, which is essential to the biological process of the body. The amino acid plays an important role in building brain cells and keeping them functioning properly.

3. Celery - Bones
The long and thin stems of the celery not only look like bones, they help them too. Celery is an excellent source of silicon, which is part of the molecular structure that gives bones their enormous strength. An interesting coincidence is that bones contain 23% sodium, and so does celery.

4. Avocado - Womb

It looks like a womb and it is great for fertility. The avocado is a great source of folic acid, which has been found to reduce the risk of displacement of the cervix. Also, folic acid is recommended for pregnant women or women planning to become pregnant, as it helps in the prevention of birth defects.

5. Oysters - Testicles
Research shows that oysters are very beneficial for male sexual organs. Research conducted in Holland found that a diet rich in oysters contains a lot of zinc and folic acid, which vastly improves the quality of the sperm.

6. Grapefruit- Breast
The similarity between citric fruits and the female breast might be a coincidence, but it is backed by clear health advantages. The peel of the grapefruit contains a petrochemical called Limonoid, and research done on lab animals and human cells has proven that it helps to delay the reproduction of cancer cells, especially breast cancer.

7. Tomato - Heart
If you slice a tomato in half, you'll notice a variety of cells that remind us of the structure of the heart. Research has found that the Lycopene in tomatoes serves as an antioxidant and protects the cellular structures and DNA from free radicals that damage healthy cells, which may contribute to cancer growth.

Also, Lycopene reduces cholesterol levels, which may cause heart damage, and also heart disease. Furthermore, adding a little unsaturated fat to tomatoes (such as olive oil or avocado oil), will allow your body to better absorb the Lycopene.

8. Red Wine - Blood
Red wine is rich in antioxidants and polyphenols, including a material called Resveratrol which contains a wealth of health benefits. The resveratrol protects from damaging factors in the blood, including bad cholesterol (LDL). It also lowers the risk of blood clots and prevents the contraction of the blood vessels, which allows for a better blood flow.

9. Ginger - Stomach
Anyone who's suffered a stomach ache and drank tea with ginger has already felt the influence of this spice, so it only makes sense that it resembles the digestive system. Ginger is known to fight stomach cramps, reduce vomiting and nausea, help with gassy digestions and strengthen the mucus layer in the stomach.

10. Sweet potato - Pancreas
Another food that resembles the organ it helps. The sweet potato is rich in beta carotene, a powerful antioxidant that defends all the tissues in the body, including the pancreas, from damages related to old age or cancer.

What to know about testicular cancer

Male sex hormones and sperm are produced in the testicles. Testicular cancer, or cancer of the testes, occurs in these organs. 

 

Testosterone controls the development of the reproductive organs and other male physical characteristics.

 

Although testicular cancer is uncommon compared with other cancers (0.7 percent of all cancers), it is the most common cancer in males aged between 15 and 35 years in North America and Europe. Every year, 8,000 males in U.S. are diagnosed with testicular cancer, and 390 men die each year in the from the disease.

Facts on testicular cancer 
Testicular cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer in young men.
Common diagnoses include examination, blood tests, and ultrasounds.
Treatment is successful in 95 percent of men with testicular cancer.

Symptoms

Symptoms of testicular cancer do not normally appear until a later stage.
In most cases, the individual finds the cancer himself. Sometimes, it is discovered by doctors during a routine physical exam.

Anyone who notices anything unusual about their testicles should see a doctor, especially if they detect any of the following:
a painless lump or swelling in a testicle
pain in a testicle or scrotum
discomfort in a testicle or scrotum
a sensation of heaviness in the scrotum
a dull ache in the lower back, groin, or abdomen
a sudden accumulation of fluid in the scrotum
unexplained tiredness or malaise.

It is worth noting that these symptoms may not necessarily be caused by cancer. In fact, less than 4 % of lumps in the testicles are found to be cancerous. Individuals should not ignore a lump or swelling in the testicle, though. It is important to see a doctor. They can then determine the cause.
Even though testicular cancer can spread to the lymph nodes, it hardly ever travels to other organs. If the cancer does spread, a person may experience:
coughing
breathing difficulties
swallowing difficulties
swelling in the chest

Early signs

It is important to catch testicular cancer early to improve the chances for successful treatment.
The earliest signs that occur are a painless lump and swelling. The testicle may also seem to be larger than usual.
However, this type of cancer may not cause noticeable symptoms until a later stage. That is why self-examination is so important - it is often the only way to catch testicular cancer at an early stage.

Causes

Although scientists are not sure what the specific causes of testicular cancer are, there are some factors which may raise a man's risk of developing the disease. These risk factors include: 

Cryptorchidism (undescended testicle): If a testicle has not moved down when a male is born, there is a greater risk that he will develop testicular cancer later on. 

Congenital abnormalities: Males born with abnormalities of the penis, kidneys, or testicles. 

Inguinal hernia: Males born with a hernia in the groin. 

Having had testicular cancer: If a male has had testicular cancer, he is more likely to develop it in the other testicle, compared with a man who has never had testicular cancer. 

Family history: A male who has a close relative with testicular cancer is more likely to develop it himself compared with other men. 

Abnormal testicular development: Conditions, such as Klinefelter's syndrome, where the testicles do not develop normally, may increase a person's risk of testicular cancer. 

Mumps orchitis: This is an uncommon complication of mumps in which one or both testicles become inflamed. 

Ancestry: Testicular cancer is more common among Caucasian males, compared with men of African or Asian descent. The highest rates are found in Scandinavia, Germany, and New Zealand.

Having a vasectomy does not increase a man's risk of developing testicular cancer.

Treatment

Around 95 % of all men with testicular cancer make a full recovery after receiving treatment. The sooner a patient is diagnosed and treated, the better his prognosis is.
Treatment for testicular cancer may involve surgery,  radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or a combination.

Surgery

Orchiectomy Orchiectomy is usually the first line of treatment. The testicle is surgically removed to prevent the tumour from spreading. If the patient is diagnosed and treated in stage 1, surgery may be the only treatment needed.
An orchiectomy is a straightforward operation. The patient receives a general anesthetic. A small incision is made in the groin, and the testicle is removed through the incision. The patient remains in hospital for a few days.
If the man still has one testicle after the operation, his sex life and chances of reproducing should not be affected.

Fertility If after the operation, the patient has no testicles, he will be infertile. He will not be able to produce sperm.
Males who wish to have children one day should consider banking their sperm before the operation - some sperm is kept in a sperm-bank before the testicle or testicles are removed.
Other testicular cancer therapies, including radiotherapy and chemotherapy, can also affect a cancer patient's long-term fertility.

Lymph node surgery
If the cancer has reached the lymph nodes, they will need to be surgically removed. This usually involves the lymph nodes in the abdomen and chest. Sometimes lymph node surgery can result in infertility.

Radiation therapy

Radiotherapy involves the use of beams of high-energy X-rays or particles (radiation) to destroy cancer cells. Radiotherapy works by damaging the DNA inside the tumor cells, destroying their ability to reproduce.

Patients with seminoma testicular cancer will typically require radiotherapy as well as surgery. The radiotherapy is used to prevent cancer recurrence.

Patients whose cancer has spread to their lymph nodes will need radiation therapy. Radiation therapy may cause the following temporary side effects:
tiredness
rashes
muscle stiffness
joint stiffness
loss of appetite
nausea

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is the use of chemicals (medication) to destroy cancer cells. Cytotoxic medication prevents cancer cells from dividing and growing.
Chemotherapy is usually given to patients with advanced testicular cancer - cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Treatment is administered either orally (tablets by mouth) or injection. As chemotherapy attacks healthy cells as well as cancerous ones, the patient may experience the following temporary side effects:
nausea
vomiting 
hair loss
mouth sores
tiredness
malaise

Most people immediately link chemotherapy with uncomfortable side effects. However, side-effect management has improved considerably over the last 20 years.

Diagnosis

There are several ways to diagnose testicular cancer.
Blood tests
These measure levels of tumor markers, such as alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). However, it is possible that blood tests come back normal, even though cancer is present.
Testicular ultrasound
An ultrasound of the scrotum can reveal the presence and also the size of a tumor.
Testicular biopsy
A small sample of tissue is taken from the targeted area in the testicle and examined under a microscope to determine whether the lump is malignant (cancerous) or benign (non-cancerous).

Testicular cancer types

When the doctor has determined the type of testicular cancer the patient has, they can then devise a treatment plan and make a prognosis. There are two main types of testicular cancer: 

Seminoma testicular cancer: These contain only seminoma cells. All age groups can get this type of cancer. 

Non-seminoma testicular cancer: These may contain many different cancer cells. Non-seminoma tumors tend to affect younger patients and will spread more rapidly than seminoma ones.

Most testicular cancers start in the germ cells - the cells in the testicles that produce immature sperm. We don't know what causes those cells to become abnormal and cancerous. Sometimes, both types of cancers may be present. If this is the case, the doctor will use non-seminoma treatment.

Staging the cancer

After carrying out all the relevant tests, the doctor will then be able to stage the cancer. This helps determine what treatment to use. 

Stage I: The cancer is only in the testis and has not spread. 
Stage II: The cancer has reached the lymph nodes in the abdomen. 
Stage III: The cancer has spread further, to other parts of the body. This could include the lungs, liver, brain, and bones.

Self-exam

The best time to check yourself is when the scrotal skin is relaxed; usually after a warm shower or bath.

Gently hold the scrotum in the palms of both hands. Stand in front of the mirror and look for any swelling on the skin of the scrotum.

Feel the size and weight of the testicles first.

With fingers and thumbs press around and be receptive to any lumps or unusual swellings. Some men have one testicle that hangs lower than the other. Some people have one testicle which is bigger than the other. This is normal.

Each check, try to detect any significant increase in the size or weight of the testicles.

Feel each testicle individually. Place the index and middle fingers under the testicle while your thumbs are on the top. Gently roll the testicle between the thumbs and the fingers - it should be smooth, oval-shaped, and somewhat firm. There should be no lumps or swellings. The top and back of each testicle should have a tube-like section where sperm is stored, known as the epididymis, which may be slightly tender. It is normal for it to feel tender.

Prevention

Preventing most cases testicular cancer is not possible, as the causes are largely unknown. Many men who develop testicular cancer do not have any known risk factors.
However, it is possible to make sure the cancer does not advance before treatment.

Hydrocelectomy: All you need to know

Hydrocelectomy is a kind of surgery used to remove fluid-filled sacs called hydroceles. These form in the scrotum, the muscular pouch of skin that holds and protects the testicles.

 

A hydrocele forms when fluid from the abdomen flows into the scrotum. A hydrocele causes swelling but is usually not painful. Some people describe it as feeling a little like a water balloon.

Roughly 1 out of every 10 boys is born with a hydrocele, according to the doctors. 

Studies indicate that the condition resolves itself by the time the majority of these boys are 2 years old.

Fast facts on hydroceles Here are some key points about hydroceles. More detail and supporting information is in the main article.
Hydroceles can also develop in adult males, often following an injury that causes swelling.
A physical exam is the first step in diagnosing a hydrocele.
Hydrocelectomy is usually considered minor surgery and performed on an outpatient basis.
Without a hydrocelectomy or other forms of treatment, hydroceles may continue to swell, though most resolve on their own.
In children, a hydrocele is treated mainly to prevent a hernia from developing.

What are hydroceles?

Hydroceles are sacs of fluid that form around the testes. Hydrocelectomy is a surgical procedure to treat them.

Hydroceles can be either communicating or non-communicating.

Communicating hydroceles
In a communicating hydrocele, there is a direct path between the abdomen and the scrotum. Also, an inguinal hernia, where part of the small intestine drops into the scrotum, may be present.

A communicating hydrocele may change its size during a day, growing larger as fluid drains into the scrotum from the abdomen.

Non-communicating hydroceles
In a non-communicating hydrocele, the fluid stays inside the sac but is not absorbed by the body.
Hydrocele of the cord is a particular kind of non-communicating hydrocele, where the condition develops further up in the scrotum. This type of hydrocele may sometimes be confused with an inguinal hernia,cyst, tumour or other problem with the groin area.

Hydroceles in children
For infants with congenital hydroceles, the condition develops between the 28th and 32 weeks of pregnancy, when a muscle in the scrotum opens to let the testes drop.

In some cases, the muscle stays open longer than is needed, doesn't close properly, or opens again, allowing fluid from the belly to flow into the scrotum and form a hydrocele.

Premature birth, cystic fibrosis, and other conditions may increase the likelihood of problems with closure of this muscle.

Hydroceles in adults
In adults, hydroceles affect about 1%  of men over 40 years. Radiation treatment for prostate cancer may increase the risk of developing a hydrocele.

When non-communicating hydroceles develop in adult men, the cause is usually unknown. A hydrocele itself does not cause pain, but men may experience discomfort due to the size and weight of the swollen scrotum.

Even in adults, the condition may disappear on its own in a few months, but if it does not, medical attention is needed and a person should consider having a hydrocelectomy.

Hydrocele diagnosis

Upon examination, a doctor will attempt to feel the condition of the testicle. Ordinarily, this is not possible, due to the surrounding sac of the hydrocele.

Before performing a hydrocelectomy, a doctor may carry out a procedure called transillumination, which involves:
Shining a light through the scrotum, looking for fluid, which would indicate the presence of a hydrocele.
Conducting an ultrasound examination to determine whether the observed swelling is a hydrocele.
Treating the hydrocele with aspiration, using a needle to drain fluid out of the scrotum.

After a positive diagnosis, a doctor may recommend a hydrocelectomy.

What is the procedure for hydrocelectomy?

There are different steps involved in a hydrocelectomy. The procedure used will depend on the type of hydroceles being treated.

The procedure takes place under a general anesthetic. If an infant has a hydrocele that does not go away on its own, surgeons will wait until the child is at least 1 to 2 years old before operating.
The steps involved with a hydrocelectomy depend on whether the hydrocele is communicating or non-communicating: 

Non-communicating hydrocele: Surgeons make an incision in the scrotum, remove the sac, drain the fluid, and close the incision. 

Communicating hydrocele: Treatment is slightly more complicated; doctors make an incision through the groin so that they can treat a hernia, if present, at the same time as removing the hydroceles. Even if there is no hernia, doctors take this approach to prevent a hernia from developing in the future.

Laparoscopic hydrocelectomy

Some surgeons will conduct a hydrocelectomy through laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, inserting a tube equipped with a camera through the abdomen.

In some cases, individuals and their doctors opt for draining the hydroceles, which can be effective. However, this procedure carries a greater risk of the hydroceles returning.

Procedure

A hydrocelectomy requires a general anesthetic, and most people go home a few hours after having the operation. So, it is important to talk to the surgeon about what to expect for themselves or a child during recovery. It is a good idea to find out what, if anything, merits a call to the doctor.

For the first week or so after the procedure, most individuals will experience pain that requires medication. In addition to pain relievers, using an ice pack on the affected area can also help.

Some individuals may need to use special bandages or a drainage tube during their recovery process.
For a few weeks after surgery, swelling may continue. Activity should be limited, depending on the individual's age and the extent of the procedures performed.

Give children sponge baths, rather than a soak in the tub, for around 10 days after a hydrocelectomy.
For about 3 weeks after the procedure, children should not play with rocking horses, ride bicycles and other straddle toys, or take part in sports.

Battle Against Neuroendocrine Tumour

Neuroendocrine tumour (NET), a rare tumour that develops from cells of the neuroendocrine system and grows predominantly in the digestive or respiratory tract - lungs, appendix, small intestine, rectum, and pancreas - it can occur in any part of the body.

What is NET?
A neuroendocrine tumor is characterized by a rapid and abnormal growth that happens in the nerve cells which produce hormones. Hormones control how different organs in the body work.
It is a condition wherein, endocrine cells, the hormone-producing cells of the body, develop a tumor in any part of the body - while it can can grow in lungs or the thymus, or more rarely, in the ovaries, kidneys, or testicles - the most common is lung, intestines, and pancreas.
What causes NET?
A neuroendocrine tumour is quite a rare disease, occurs in less than one per million cases. The exact cause is not known.
The Symptoms-
It can cause a myriad of symptoms, depending on where in the body the NET is.

1. If it is in your digestive system, it can cause pain or discomfort in the abdomen area that comes and goes. You may feel sick, nauseated, vomited, or there may be a change in how often you pass stools.
2. If the NET is in the lung, it can cause shortness of breath, chest infections, or you can even have a cough up blood.
3. Weight loss and loss of appetite may also be some common signs of a neuroendocrine tumour.
4. Some NETs may overproduce a hormone-like substance called serotonin. This causes a group of symptoms called carcinoid syndrome. Symptoms include  wheezing (like asthma), flushing of the skin and diarrhoea.

Who can be affected with NET?

1. These tumours, depending on the type, are more common in certain age or sex. And few have very strong family history too.
2. People who have a rare condition called multiple endocrine neoplasia 1 have an increased risk of developing a NET .                                                                                                          
3. Know The Different Types of NET:

1. Based on the organ that is affected, NET can vary a lot. When the chromaffin cells that produce adrenaline are affected, it is called Pheochromocytoma, and it is related to the stress levels of the body.
   When a cell is formed abnormally under the skin and the hair follicles, it is called Merkel cell cancer. This is also called neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin and the condition can occur anywhere in the body. The commonly occurring places include lungs, gastrointestinal tract, and brain.
   The status of the tumour, cancerous (malignant) or noncancerous (benign), decides the survival rate. Often slow-growing and noncancerous, they can invade surrounding parts of the body and at times, turn cancerous and spread across the body. However, you can still choose to live a good quality life with strict modifications in diet and lifestyle. The changes are made after taking into consideration the symptoms of the tumor. The organ where the tumor is formed also matters.
   How Is It Treated?
   Treatment depends on the location of the tumour, its type, how severe it is and whether it has spread to other parts of the body. Usually, the first treatment choice is surgery to remove the tumour. And, if the NET cannot be removed, your will prescribed with a treatment that will not only relieve the symptoms but will also improve the quality of your life.
   How can a NET be prevented?
   The first thing you need to do for the prevention of NET is to curb stress. Stress affects the entire body severely.
   Lifestyle modifications:
   A healthy lifestyle is what you need to stick to if you want to manage its symptoms during the treatment cycle. Your doctor will prescribe you to do exercises at least 4 days a week for a minimum of 30 minutes. You can also try a walk instead of strenuous exercises.
   People with carcinoid syndrome may be advised to avoid food or activities that may trigger flushing, such as eating spicy food or drinking alcohol.
   Indulge yourself in therapies that help in gaining more positive energy. If you are already affected by NET, eliminate all the sources of stress and get a good night's sleep every day. Join the support groups that make you grow strong and happy. After all, the mind is devised to do miracles when it is full of life and positive thoughts.
   "NeuroEndocrine Tumour is an abnormal growth of Neuroendo cells which are present in bodies. When there is an abnormal growth, then it forms a tumor - Normally seen in intestine, pancreas, lung, thyroid and other parts of the body".
   
    "Depending on where the tumour is localized, you can take it out surgically and the chances of cure are very high", a Dr.  explained.

Radiation exposure affects sperm quality

Long-term exposure to radiation at the workplace may play 

havoc with your sperm quality, says a new research.

.

A team of fertility experts, analysed sperm quality of 83 men 

working for three to 18 years in diagnostic or radiation units 

at various hospitals.

The results were compared with 51 men, also working in 

hospitals with a similar lifestyle but not exposed to radiation.

The men's semen quality was tested for sperm number, 

vitality, shape and its DNA quality. The amount of radiation 

absorbed by health workers was also correlated with sperm 

quality.

The researchers found more abnormal characteristics in the 

sperm of men exposed to the radiation, such as decrease in 

sperm motility, altered shape and vitality.

Sperm motility is the ability of sperm to swim properly 

towards an egg, a factor in successful fertilisation and 

pregnancy.

More importantly, researchers found that sperm DNA quality 

was severely compromised in workers exposed to high 

radiation dose. Several abnormalities correlated with the 

number of years of radiation exposure.

"If the sperm DNA is not maintained in a right manner, it 

could impact the next generation's health,".

"Human testicles produce millions of sperm cells daily, out of  

which only one sperm fuses with egg and makes the embryo. 

The genetic material (DNA) is tightly packed in the sperm 

cell, susceptible to damage," said a researcher.

"A little damage is normal, as is seen in the sperm of fertile 

men. But if the damage reaches high levels it can lead to 

problems. The mature sperm has no capacity to repair the 

damage and if such sperm cell fertilizes the egg, the damage 

can be transmitted to the resulting embryo and baby,"he said.

"Animal studies have shown serious consequences in the 

offspring when DNA-damaged sperm fertilizes the egg," he 

added

.

"Though we did not find increased incidence of infertility and 

miscarriages in these workers, the genetic and epigenetic 

abnormalities observed in the sperm are serious concerns," he said.

Epigenetic abnormalities are abnormalities induced by the 

effect of environment on the expression (functioning) of 

genes, which in this study refers to the prolonged exposure 

to radiation.

He pointed out that the sperm DNA could be damaged by 

factors such as smoking, environmental toxic materials, 

chemicals, lifestyle and lately by radiation, as their research 

revealed.

"This is an important observation and there is a need to 

review our exposure protocols and make sure that the health 

of professionals and their children are not compromised."
