			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CPR is a very well known routine that is usually performed on the person who is having a stroke  but a recent study has shown that if you are not trained of the CPR and if you see someone having a stroke in front of you then you can simply practice the chest compression on that person as it will ensure as effective blood flow as CPR.</p>
<p>It has been found by the studies that when the bystanders were instructed to use the standard CPR that includes mouth to mouth breathing and chest compression only CPR then the survival rates were almost similar between these two techniques.</p>
<p>While talking about the studies, the lead author of one of the studies, Dr. Thomas Rea, medical director of the Emergency Medical Services Division of Public Health for Seattle and King County in Washington said that “Bystander CPR can double your chances of survival, but the biggest thing is getting more people to try it. Only one in three people who need it get bystander CPR”.</p>
<p>Rea was of the belief that rescue breathing can be difficult for those who have not previously practiced that or who isn’t trained in this technique so the chest compression can prove to be a good substitute of that at the time of emergency.</p>
<p>Thus if you are not trained of the CPR and you have faced such emergency situation in which someone is having a stroke then you can simply use the chest compression on that person and positive results will be obtained.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A group of researchers’ have found a very useful aspect of the red wine and according to that a special ingredient in the red wine named as Resveratrol helps in preventing the out-of-control blood vessels in growth in the eyes.</p>
<p>This ingredient is also found in grapes, blueberries, peanuts and other plants and all this research have been carries by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.</p>
<p>Washington University retina specialist Rajendra S. Apte, MD, PhD, the study’s senior investigator while discussing about this new study said that “A great deal of research has identified resveratrol as an anti-aging compound, and given our interest in age-related eye disease, we wanted to find out whether there was a link”.</p>
<p>The mice were investigated during all this research and especially those mice were selected which develop abnormal blood vessels in the retina of their eye. After giving Resveratrol to mice the results that were obtained were quite amazing, the abnormal blood vessels started to disappear.</p>
<p>Apte while discussing about the results said that “We have identified a novel pathway that could become a new target for therapies” and further “And we believe the pathway may be involved both in age-related eye disease and in other diseases where angiogenesis plays a destructive role”.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well-being of body and mind can make an individual a good citizen of his country.In a good <strong>social environment</strong> be not only enjoys his life but also contributes to the common good as a member of his community.In a country where there are less<strong> diseases </strong>and<strong> premature death</strong>, people become productive and prosperous. A sick individual  is a prey to sufferings and becomes  a social liability.A country, where there is more diseases and sickness, becomes more and more economically backward.The standard of life of people gradually goes down in such places.</p>
<p>The<strong> health</strong> of individual and community are mutually dependent.If individual do not keep good health, death and illness grow in a community.If a community indulges in bad, unhealthy practices the individuals suffer.So in order to make a community happy, healthy and prosperous, each individual should understand the values of good health.He should not  only try to protect his own health and health of his family members, but also strive hard to improve the health of his neighbours.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Alcohol</strong> is becoming a normal part of social gathering or functions.Individuals take to it or indulge in it without any inhibition.Its use is spreading and it is becoming more and more  socially acceptable.It also does not come within legal purview unless and until it results in some kind is nuisance.</p>
<p>It does not mean that is it taken lightly.Though its consumption in sunlight does may not create a problem but its excessive use is most harmful for the person concerned, the family and the society.The <strong>individual</strong> loses his health, his vital organs are damaged, his judgment is impaired, his nervous system is affected, his muscular control decreases, he becomes unfit for any work for whole of his life.Children are neglected and his family life is ruined.Financially also he is ruined.He becomes a nuisance for society and may commit crime including murder or fatal accidents while driving under its influence.As such drinking cannot be taken lightly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The slogan <strong>&#8220;Cigarette Smoking is Injurious to Health&#8221;</strong> is now printed on every cigarette case and it is generally believed that cigarette  smoking causes  cancer, chronic bronchitis ans premature coronary heart disease.What are the physical and chemical implications of this hazardous habit? The chief raw material for the production of cigarette is tobacco, which is cured to reduce the moisture content.Sugar camphor, menthol, essential oils and esters are employed in blending to obtain pleasing flavour. The blended tobacco is rolled in a cigarette paper.This paper is nothing but cellulose a macromolecular organic compound.Irrespective of the nature of the constituents of the tobacco used, simple burning of organic compounds may produce poisonous gases. Any organic substance when burnt in free carbon monoxide  is formed instead of carbon dioxide.The condition of burning is limited supply of air inside the closed wrapper is encountered in the smoking of cigarette, and thus  carbon monoxide is formed. In order that tobacco hazard is taken seriously, it would be better to understand the relationship of its consumption with these ailments.</p>
