Platelet-rich plasma or PRP is an "autologous blood therapy" that uses a patient's own blood components to stimulate a healing response in damaged tissues. In response to an injury or tissue damage, your body naturally recruits platelets and white blood cells from the blood to initiate a healing response. Under normal conditions, platelets store numerous growth factors which are released in response to signals from the injured tissue. Modern technology allows us to concentrate platelets and white blood cells from your blood, and induce this growth factor release as we inject the solution directly into injured tissue, simulating this same healing response in a more powerful form. By enhancing the body's natural healing capacity, the treatment may lead to a more rapid, more efficient, and more thorough restoration of the tissue to a healthy state Continue reading...

No need to talk about alcoholism: this disease cripples the life of a person and its friends and relatives. According to reasearch, there about nine million individuals in the U.S. confirmed “addicted to alcohol”, including those who desperately need treatment. However, there are only few effective treatments, which can suppress a person’s addiction to alcohol. One of the well known drugs is disulfiram (Antabuse), which interferes the liver ferment system and causes accumulation of acetaldehyde. This substance causes severe headaches, nausea and vomiting, the memories of which cause a person to refrain from drinking. Clearly, this drug does not treat addition to alcohol, but only causes a disgust to alcohol. Continue reading...

There was a time when the answer to question "How to lose weight?" was “Stop eating!” Now, we know that everything is not that simple. What happens to the food that we eat depends on many factors: what we eat, how much we eat, how we eat, and what our body does to the food consumed.
Certainly, people do not eat continuously. We have a breakfast, then lunch, and later a dinner, and every process of the meal consumption has the beginning and the end. When the food is processed inside of our bodies: one part of it is used for production of energy and necessary substances, and the other supplies for “better times” in the form of fat. It is unfortunate, but the second part is larger than we may want because of the malfunction of one of the 4 stages of feeding (ingestion, digestion, absorption, and ejection) or the metabolism.

As a rule, the biological age does not correspond to the passport age of an individual, and the degree of this non-correspondence testifies the intensity of the aging processes in the body. An extremely adverse forecasting sign is the advancing of biological aging against chronological one, in which case we can confidently conclude the state of premature aging. Methodological difficulties of complex evaluation of aging processes are in the display of complexity of differentiation of aging symptoms and pathological processes. Apparently, a separate flow of these processes is unrealistic. The phenomenon of aging touches all structures of body and their functions. The general indication is the replacement of parenkhimatosic cells of connecting tissue, delay and decrease of bodily reaction to external irritants, and significant decrease in the level of metabolism.

In Europe and USA in last ten years the anti-aging (medical preventive maintenance of aging) is highly developing.
Our medical center begins the serious development of this medical direction. Continue reading...

The current threat (the Mexican Swine Flu) stems from a human flu virus, not from a swine flu virus. It is a human flu virus mingled with swine flu and probably also with bird flu virus variants. The scientific nick name of the dangerous virus family is A/H1N1.
The virus spreads like any ordinary flu virus very easily among humans. It spreads through the air and keeps sticking on surfaces for several days. You might inhale it simply by breathing, or you might incorporate it some time after touching a surface with the contagious virus on it. Continue reading...
