			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Male hair loss, also known as male pattern baldness, is the most common type of hair loss and is caused by a genetic sensitivity of the hair follicles to male hormones.  This sensitivity causes the hair follicles to shrink and eventually become unable to produce new hair.</p>
<p>Male hair loss usually begins with a receding hairline and thinning hair on the top of the head.  Eventually the balding areas converge and the hair that remains grows only at the sides and back of the head.</p>
<p>Male hair loss can be treated with surgery or medication.  In hair restoration surgery, tissue containing follicles from the scalp in an area where the hair is still growing normally is removed and grafted onto the area with the dormant follicles.  This surgery is the most effective and permanent treatment for male hair loss, but it is expensive at over $4,000 for an operation.</p>
<p>The most popular medications for male hair loss are minoxodil (best known under the brand name Rogaine) and finasteride (also known as Propecia).  Minoxodil works by blocking the production of DHT, the hormone which causes the follicle to shrink.  It is effective for approximately 60% of patients suffering from male hair loss, and must be taken continually to remain operative. Rogaine is a topical treatment that is available over the counter and costs approximately $50 for a three month supply.</p>
<p>Propecia is an oral medication that is available only with a doctor’s prescription.  It both stimulates new hair growth and stops hair loss.  Propecia is effective for approximately 80% of male hair loss, but it is expensive and many insurance companies limit coverage for it.  Propecia also has some unpleasant side effects, so it is recommended to try other hair loss solutions first.</p>
<p>A purely cosmetic solution to male hair loss is hair weaves, in which natural-looking hair pieces are sewn into braided existing hair and then glued to hold them in place.  Hair weaves can greatly improve the appearance of male hair loss, but they need to be replaced after several months and they can weaken the structure of the existing hair.  They’re also difficult to apply to relatively short hair, so they should be done only by experienced practitioners and are only recommended as a temporary response to hair loss. </p>
<p>Another popular strategy for male hair loss is to simply shave the head and flaunt baldness.  This solution was an unusual one when Yul Brenner and Telly Savalas chose it, but modern celebrities have made it more popular and most women today prefer the look of a natural bald head to artificial hairpieces.  Some of the most well known celebrities who show off their male hair loss are Michael Jordan, Sean Connery,  Bruce Willis, Patrick Stewart, Andre Agassi, Vin Diesel, Taye Diggs, Chris Daughtry, Jason Statham and Michael Rosenbaum.</p>
<p>The worst solution for male hair loss is the comb-over, in which one side of the hair is grown much longer than the other side and then is combed over the bald spot in order to cover it.  This look is too obvious and is not recommended. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Acidity is agnated to heartburn and gas formation in stomach. The stomach usually secretes acid that is essential in the digestive process. This acid helps in breaking down the food while digestion. When there is excessive production of acid by the gastric glands of the stomach, it consequences in the condition known as acidity. Acidity is accountable for symptoms like dyspepsia, heartburn and the formation of ulcers.</p>
<p>Acidity tends to have a much higher prevalence in highly emotional and nervous individuals. It is also more common in the developed and industrialised nations, although a recent increase in incidence has also emerged in the developing countries. Gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD) or acidity is caused by several factors.</p>
<p>Stomach have different enzymes and hydrochloric acids which help in food digestion. Failure of the system to excrete the poisons from the body. Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs is also caused of acidity. Excess intake of caffeine also leads to acidity. Excessive intake of alcohol, smoking, keeping stomach empty for long time, truanting breakfast causes acidity.</p>
<p>Other causes of acidity or heartburn are pregnancy, aging, obesity, and bad eating habit, such as eating junk foods. Acidity leads to burning sensation in stomach and chest area. Immoderate large amounts of acid secretion occur in certain situations, such as in a condition known as Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome, in which large amounts of secretion are stimulated by tumours located in the pancreas or duodenum.</p>
<p>The most common signification is dyspepsia, a burning or aching pain in the upper abdomen sometimes described as a &#8220;stabbing feeling penetrating through the width of the gut. Patient with hernia are at a risk of developing acid reflux or acidity. A better option is to go in for acidity home remedy treatment.</p>
<p>Home remedy for acidity is natural and consequently is absolutely safe for the human body. Amla is a natural and effective herb which helps in curing many diseases such as diabetes, indigestion, heartburn. Drink daily a 1 tsp juice of chebulic myroblan mixed with 1 tsp of amla (Indian gooseberry) juice. Drink a glass of cold milk for fast relaxation of heartburn and acidity. Mash almond leaves in water and apply on the area, it will also help in the treatment of eczema.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Head lice plagues have become more common in recent years. Head lice infestations are a common complication in infants and children. The most common symptom of children infected with head lice is itching, however some children do not complain if they have a light infestation. These bites can then become infected, and may loom red or crusty, and may lead to your child developing swollen lymph glands in his neck.</p>
<p>Having head lice (pediculus humanus capitas) is a common issue in school age children. The lice travel fast between children and they favour clean, oil free hair. The female louse has ability of laying over 100 eggs every 10 - 12 days. The eggs (called nits) are entombed at the base of the hair. The lice and their eggs are viewable to the naked eye.</p>
<p>They generally cause terrible itching and hence are frequently detected by an adult when head scratching is observed. Lice are wingless and are not able to jump, but they climb quickly from hair to hair when the hair is dry. Lice move slowly on wet hair and can be effaced more easily with a gloved hand or a fine-toothed comb.</p>
<p>Many of the activities that children indulge in at school require them to interact closely. Their heads are usually together. This makes it simple for the lice to move from one head to the following. Retaining greater distance between heads or the placement of a barrier between heads are the perfect ways to prevent the spread. The main treatments for head lice generally involve using a head lice shampoo, like Rid or Nix.</p>
<p>For lice in eyelashes, apply Vaseline to the eyelashes twice a day for a week to eradicate them. Herbal rinses are very helpful in purging the lice and eggs. Thyme oil, sassafras, aniseed and lavender all perform well. After a treatment, put some olive or coconut oil to the scalp to forfend dryness and to loosen the eggs. Daily use a comb or brush and hair clips to remove tangles and detach your child&#8217;s hair into sections.</p>
<p>Vacuum to remove all lice and hairs with attached nits from furniture, rugs, stuffed animals and car seats. Keep items which can not be washed or vacuumed into plastic bags for three weeks. You can also add tee tree oil or lavender oil to your routine shampoo. For every 100 ml (3 3/4 ounces) of shampoo add 25 drops of tee tree oil or 25 drops of lavender oil.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Miscarriage is the most natural type of pregnancy loss. Miscarriage is the most common problem of early pregnancy. About 15 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage. Miscarriage occurs in nearly 15-20% of all recognized pregnancies, and usually occurs prior the 13th week of pregnancy. The actual percentage of miscarriages is approximated to be as high as 50% of all pregnancies, since many miscarriages occur without the woman ever having known she was pregnant. It can occur in up to 20% of all recognized pregnancies. Most miscarriages (more than three-quarters) occur throughout the first trimester. Chromosomal abnormalities are present in more than half of embryos miscarried in the first 13 weeks.</p>
<p>A pregnancy having a genetic problem has a 95% chance of ending in miscarriage. Another cause of early miscarriage may be progesterone insufficiency. High blood pressure and few illnesses (such as rubella and chlamydia) enhances the risk of miscarriage. Women who smoke or drink alcohol in pregnancy have a greater risk of miscarriage than do nonsmokers and women who neglect alcohol during pregnancy. A woman who may be showing the signs of a normal miscarriage may hear the term &#8220;threatened abortion&#8221; used to describe her situation. Two types of miscarriage are Threatened miscarriage and Missed miscarriage. Complete miscarriage refers that the pregnancy has been lost, the uterus is now empty and the cervix has closed.</p>
<p>Surgical treatment involves an operation to empty the uterus. Avoid environmental hazards such as radiation, infectious disease and x-rays. Many miscarriages which are caused by systemic diseases can be protected by detecting and treating the disease before becoming pregnant. Medical management generally comprised of using misoprostol (a prostaglandin, brand name Cytotec) to encourage completion of the miscarriage. Do not smoke or be around smoke. Avoid alcohol, nicotine, and street drugs, especially cocaine, during pregnancy. Get prenatal care and follow the advice of your health care provider (family doctor, obstetrician, midwife).</p>

<p>Morning sickness not only happens in the morning. For many women it is bad in the morning, but it can affect you any time of the day and for most of us it is &#8220;all-day-every-day&#8221; sickness. Morning sickness is the disgusted feeling you get during pregnancy. Morning sickness is not injurious to you or your baby. Morning sickness may occur at any time of the day, though it occurs most often upon waking, as blood sugar levels are mainly the lowest after a night without food.</p>
<p>Frequently rising levels of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) during early pregnancy cause of morning sickness. Another cause is low blood sugar during pregnancy. An increase in progesterone slackens the muscles in the uterus, which prevents early childbirth, but may also relax the stomach and intestines, leading to excess stomach acids and increase in human chorionic gonadotropin.</p>
<p>Treatments for morning sickness generally aim to reduce the symptoms of nausea so eating dry crackers in the morning. Take more carbohydrates (plain baked potato, white rice, dry toast). Wearing &#8220;acupressure&#8221; wrist bands, which are occassionally used by passengers on boats to prevent sea sickness, may help some women who have morning sickness.</p>
<p>Have plenty of rest and nap during the day. Eating five or six small meals per day, rather than three large ones. The iron in prenatal vitamins can annoy some women. Try gelatin desserts (Jell-O), flavored frozen desserts (popsicles), chicken broths, ginger ale (nondiet), sugared decaffeinated or herbal teas, and pretzels. Vitamin B6 (either pyridoxine or pyridoxamine), normally taken in combination with the antihistamine doxylamine.</p>
<p>Lemons, basically the smelling of freshly cut lemons. Dodge spicy and fried food - both eating and smelling it can increase your nausea. Eating that is salty before a meal can help you &#8220;make it through&#8221; a meal. Do not drink fluids with your meals. Do not lie down after eating. Do not dismiss meals.</p>
