Que es la Leucemia mielógena crónica ?
Es un cáncer
que comienza dentro de la médula ósea, el tejido blando en el interior
de los huesos que ayuda a formar todas las células sanguíneas.
La LMC ocasiona una proliferación incontrolable de células inmaduras que forman un cierto tipo de glóbulos blancos llamados células mieloides. Las células afectadas se acumulan en la médula ósea y en la sangre.
La LMC ocasiona una proliferación incontrolable de células inmaduras que forman un cierto tipo de glóbulos blancos llamados células mieloides. Las células afectadas se acumulan en la médula ósea y en la sangre.
Causas
La causa de la LMC está relacionada con una anomalía cromosómica llamada cromosoma Filadelfia.La exposición a la radiación puede aumentar el riesgo de sufrir leucemia mielógena crónica (LMC). Esto puede ser por tratamientos de radioterapia utilizados en el pasado para tratar el cáncer de tiroides o el linfoma de Hodgkin o por un desastre nuclear.
Pasan muchos años antes de que se presente leucemia por exposición a la radiación. La mayoría de las personas a quienes se les trata un cáncer con radiación no contraen leucemia. La mayoría de los pacientes con LMC no han estado expuestos a la radiación.
La LMC se presenta más comúnmente en adultos de mediana edad y en niños.
Síntomas
La leucemia mielógena crónica se agrupa en varias fases.- Crónica
- Acelerada
- Crisis hemoblástica
La fase acelerada es una fase más peligrosa durante la cual las células de la leucemia se multiplican con mayor rapidez. Los síntomas frecuentes abarcan: fiebre (sin infección), dolor óseo e inflamación del bazo.
Sin tratamiento, la leucemia mielógena crónica progresa a una fase de crisis hemoblástica. Se puede presentar sangrado e infección debido a la insuficiencia de la médula ósea.
Entre otros posibles síntomas de crisis hemoblástica están:
- Hematomas
- Sudoración excesiva (sudores fríos)
- Fatiga
- Fiebre
- Presión bajo las costillas izquierdas inferiores a causa de la inflamación del bazo
- Erupción: pequeñas marcas puntiformes y rojas en la piel (petequias)
- Debilidad
Pruebas y exámenes
Un examen físico a menudo revela una inflamación del bazo. Un hemograma o conteo sanguíneo completo (CSC) muestra un incremento en el número de glóbulos blancos con presencia de muchas formas inmaduras y con un aumento en la cantidad de plaquetas. Éstas son partes de la sangre que ayudan en la coagulación.Otros exámenes que se pueden realizar abarcan:
- Biopsia por aspirado medular.
- Pruebas de sangre y de médula ósea para detectar la presencia del cromosoma Filadelfia.
- Conteo de plaquetas.
Tratamiento
El primer tratamiento para la LMC son generalmente los medicamentos que ataquen la proteína anormal formada por el cromosoma Filadelfia. Estos medicamentos se pueden tomar como las pastillas.Algunas veces, se utiliza primero la quimioterapia para reducir el conteo de glóbulos blancos si está muy alto en el momento del diagnóstico.
La fase de crisis hemoblástica es muy difícil de tratar, debido a que hay un conteo muy alto de glóbulos blancos inmaduros (células leucémicas).
La única cura conocida para la leucemia mielógena crónica es un trasplante de médula ósea o de células madre. Sin embargo, la mayoría de los pacientes no necesitan trasplante porque los medicamentos que atacan la enfermedad son eficaces. Analice las opciones con su oncólogo.
Es posible que usted y su médico deban manejar muchos otros asuntos o preocupaciones durante el tratamiento para la leucemia, como:
- Estar en casa durante la quimioterapia
- Manejo de las mascotas durante la quimioterapia
- Problemas de sangrado
- Comer suficientes calorías al estar enfermo
- Hinchazón y dolor en la boca
- Alimentación segura durante el tratamiento del cáncer
Grupos de apoyo
El estrés causado por la enfermedad se puede aliviar uniéndose a un grupo de apoyo para el cáncer. El hecho de compartir con otras personas que tengan experiencias y problemas en común puede ayudarle a no sentirse solo.Expectativas (pronóstico)
El hecho de tomar los medicamentos dirigidos a la enfermedad ha mejorado enormemente el pronóstico para los pacientes con LMC. Cuando los signos y síntomas de LMC desaparecen y cuando el conteo sanguíneo y la biopsia de médula ósea aparecen normales, la persona se considera en remisión. Muchas de estas personas pueden permanecer en remisión por largos años mientras estén tomando el medicamento.El trasplante de células madre o de médula ósea generalmente se considera en personas cuya enfermedad reaparece o empeora mientras está tomando los medicamentos iniciales. El trasplante también puede recomendarse a quienes se les ha diagnosticado en etapa acelerada o crisis hemoblástica.
Posibles complicaciones
La crisis hemoblástica puede llevar a que se presenten complicaciones, incluyendo infección, sangrado, fatiga, fiebre inexplicable y problemas renales. La quimioterapia puede tener efectos secundarios serios, dependiendo de los fármacos utilizados.Prevención
Evite la exposición a la radiación cuando sea posible.Cuarto Gen Que Produce Epilepsia descubierto por UNAH
El científico hondureño y
decano de la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas de la Universidad Nacional
Autónoma de Honduras (UNAH), Marco Tulio Medina, informó que gracias a
un trabajo de investigación desarrollado por más de 22 años se descubrió
un cuarto gen que provoca la Epilepsia, denominado “Alonsina”.
El neurólogo explicó que este proyecto
inició desde 1992 en conjunto con la Universidad de los Ángeles,
California, con la composición de un consorcio de científicos de los
Estados Unidos, Japón, Bélgica, México, Brasil, España entre otros
llamado “GENES”.
Medina amplió que este estudio involucra
a 700 familias, de las cuales 100 son hondureñas y que este cuarto gen
se viene a sumar a los genes previamente descubiertos que son EFHC1, el
gen receptor GABA (sub unidad BETA3) y el ICK, que están relacionadas
con la migración de las neuronas.
“Las neuronas cuando el humano se está
formando como embrión se mueven de una parte del cerebro ha otra parte
del cerebro y ese movimiento se llama migración, existen varios tipos de
migraciones, la radial y la migración tangencial. Este gen alterado
produce alteración en la migración, entonces las neuronas no se ubican
dónde deben ubicarse, lo mismo le pasa al gen de EFHC1”, informó el
especialista.
Para Medina con este cuarto gen se
demuestra un mecanismo que no se había descubierto, confirmado que es
que la migración de la neurona puede estar implicado en la epilepsia
mioclónica juvenil, y que dicho hallazgo que fue presentado en el
Congreso de la Academia Americana de Neurología en Philadelphia, en el
Congreso Latinoamericano de Epilepsia en Buenos Aires, Argentina,
actualmente publicado en una revista internacional.

Smarter Remarketing
People abandon websites for various reasons. If you’re lucky, they’ll
come back to finish what they started; but more often than not, they
just forget about it.
Abandoners can be hot prospects, and companies spend a lot of money trying to re-engage them so they’ll come back to the site and finish what they started.
This is done both through retargeting (paid media) and remarketing (sending a series of abandonment recovery emails) — two terms that are commonly considered interchangeable.
Whether it’s remarketing or retargeting you’re using, the goal is essentially the same: to re-engage visitors who leave before converting.
Many marketers try to lure abandoned visitors back with coupons or discounts – a risky approach because it conditions customers to deliberately abandon in search of future discounts.
There are other ways to entice visitors to return to your site that are just as effective as discounting, but not as damaging to your brand and bottom line.
By tapping into these six techniques from the world of psychology, you can tickle the buy buttons in your visitors’ brains, convincing them to come back to your site and hopefully convert.
Life is busy, and distractions like this happen throughout the day, killing countless conversions along the way.
With a highly motivated customer, re-connecting with them through a remarketing email or a retargeting ad may be sufficient to bring them back to your site.
But few buyers are really that motivated, and to capture their attention you’ll need to appeal directly to their reptilian brain — that instinctual super-processor responsible for the majority of life’s decisions.
One of the best ways to stimulate the reptilian brain is through novelty. Novelty grabs attention. In fact, the human brain is not just wired to quickly detect changes in the environment, we’re actually actively scanning (albeit subconsciously) for them all the time.
Instead of serving a generic retargeting ad, opt instead for something new and different: an eye-catching image, a simple but witty meme, or an unexpected treat that stirs your visitor’s curiosity.
If your retargeting strategy involves showing the same ad over and over again, put the element of novelty on your side by setting impression caps on each ad unit and changing the creative frequently. What’s new and novel one day will become old the next; constantly update and refresh your ad units in order to continually grab attention.
Neuroscientists have observed that people are more likely to give in to requests when they’re given a justification – even when those justifications seem irrational (e.g., asking to use the bathroom before someone else in line because “I have to pee.”)
You can use the same tactic in your remarketing efforts by answering the “why” behind the expected action.
Try tapping into the inherently self-centered nature of human beings. Using the Doppelganger Effect, for instance, you can move visitors to a decision by having them visualize themselves while using your product/service.
Like most personalization strategies, the Doppelganger Effect takes advantage of the brain’s selfish instincts, evolved from the basic need for survival and self-preservation.
You can put it to work in your remarketing campaigns by creating personalized offers and using characters, stories or settings that your visitors can identify with.
Some products or services are complicated by nature. When that’s the case, rather than focus your remarketing efforts on pushing the sale, try a softer approach that supports the decision-making process.
Offer a comparison chart, an interactive wizard or app that narrows down options based on user-supplied information, or a buyers guide that seeks to simplify some of the more complicated characteristics of your product or service.
These intermediate conversion actions will help ease the mental processing required for the purchase decision, and if done well will create a clear path to purchase.
The brain loves simplicity and clear contrast. Use that knowledge to move your visitors towards action.
An eMarketer report, for instance, shows that more than half of online shoppers use a website’s shopping cart to check the total costs for their planned purchase. The same proportion of shoppers also likes adding items to their carts over several visits before they actually check out.
Although these visitors may convert later, you can reinforce their decision to buy from you by using the Foot in the Door technique.
This involves asking for small commitments from your online users first before moving on to requests that require a much larger commitment.
Instead of badgering shopping cart abandoners with numerous emails asking them to immediately checkout, ask for a micro-conversion such as providing you with feedback on their website experience, answering a quick 1-question survey about why they abandoned, or creating a wish-list for future purchases.
People like to think of themselves as consistent. Your success in getting visitors to grant a smaller request (a micro-conversion) increases the likelihood of them following through with your big conversion ask later on.
Research has shown that paying triggers the brain’s pain center. This why some users are willing to pay for Amazon Prime and other prepaid shipping programs; it helps them avoid the pain of shipping costs every time they buy something.
Moreover, payment-related pain is mitigated by the perceived fairness of the exchange — most online shoppers would rather buy more items to reach the free shipping threshold than pay for shipping fees (which has no tangible or direct benefit to them).
Your job, in that light, is to reduce the pain that users associate with the purchase. If you suspect that high up-front costs are contributing to visitor apprehension and abandonment, address this issue in your remarketing messaging.
Move potential buyers more comfortably down your conversion funnel with messaging that helps to build the value equation while easing the perceived pain of the price tag.
Provide customer testimonials and other risk reducers like purchase guarantees and third-party endorsements.
Sweeten the deal with a pricing strategy that minimizes the payment pain, such as a discounted annual fee for customers who are “total cost” sensitive, and monthly payments for buyers who might prefer a series of smaller payments to one large one.
The existing stamps gave customers a sense of being closer to the goal, which motivated them to accumulate more stamps and complete the card.
You can apply the same principle to get website abandoners to come back and finalize their purchase. First, tailor your remarketing and retargeting messages to emphasize how close they are to completing their task (e.g., “You’re almost finished” or “It’s almost yours”).
Next, make sure that your remarketing emails and retargeting ads take
abandoners back directly to their cart. The same thing applies to
visitors who were interrupted at a certain point: take them to the last
page or activity they were in rather than to your homepage.
Don’t make your visitors think that they have to start from scratch — it’s not only annoying, it removes the impetus for goal completion.

1. Use Novelty To Re-Engage Distracted Visitors
Your visitors’ environment has a lot of distractions. They could be browsing your site when a friend’s message pops up on Facebook. Or maybe they started their transaction while on the train but were unable to complete it by the time they had to disembark.Life is busy, and distractions like this happen throughout the day, killing countless conversions along the way.
With a highly motivated customer, re-connecting with them through a remarketing email or a retargeting ad may be sufficient to bring them back to your site.
But few buyers are really that motivated, and to capture their attention you’ll need to appeal directly to their reptilian brain — that instinctual super-processor responsible for the majority of life’s decisions.

What’s new and novel one day will become old the next; constantly update and refresh your ad units in order to continually grab attention.
2. Give Visitors A Compelling Reason To Come Back
When a hot prospect abandons your site, your job is to try to re-create the enthusiasm and interest that they had before they left. This can be can be as simple as giving them a reason to complete the transaction (or reminding them of their original reasons for visiting your site).Neuroscientists have observed that people are more likely to give in to requests when they’re given a justification – even when those justifications seem irrational (e.g., asking to use the bathroom before someone else in line because “I have to pee.”)
You can use the same tactic in your remarketing efforts by answering the “why” behind the expected action.
Try tapping into the inherently self-centered nature of human beings. Using the Doppelganger Effect, for instance, you can move visitors to a decision by having them visualize themselves while using your product/service.
AMC’s
Dead Yourself app is the Doppelganger Effect in action. It allows fans
of the popular The Walking Dead TV series become part of the show’s
story as a walker.
You can put it to work in your remarketing campaigns by creating personalized offers and using characters, stories or settings that your visitors can identify with.
3. Use Contrast To Simplify Decision-Making
Complexity and ambiguity are two of the brain’s biggest enemies. Offering visitors too many options can actually stifle their decision-making process and cause them to abandon your site simply because the decision seemed too overwhelming at the time.Some products or services are complicated by nature. When that’s the case, rather than focus your remarketing efforts on pushing the sale, try a softer approach that supports the decision-making process.
Offer a comparison chart, an interactive wizard or app that narrows down options based on user-supplied information, or a buyers guide that seeks to simplify some of the more complicated characteristics of your product or service.
These intermediate conversion actions will help ease the mental processing required for the purchase decision, and if done well will create a clear path to purchase.
The brain loves simplicity and clear contrast. Use that knowledge to move your visitors towards action.
4. Nudge Visitors Toward Smaller Commitments
Sometimes visitors abandon because they are simply not ready to buy yet.An eMarketer report, for instance, shows that more than half of online shoppers use a website’s shopping cart to check the total costs for their planned purchase. The same proportion of shoppers also likes adding items to their carts over several visits before they actually check out.
Although these visitors may convert later, you can reinforce their decision to buy from you by using the Foot in the Door technique.

People like to think of themselves as consistent. Your success in getting visitors to grant a smaller request (a micro-conversion) increases the likelihood of them following through with your big conversion ask later on.
5. Reduce The Pain Of The Purchase
Are online users bailing out at the last minute even though your payment process has no obvious usability issues? It could be the pain avoidance reflex at work.Research has shown that paying triggers the brain’s pain center. This why some users are willing to pay for Amazon Prime and other prepaid shipping programs; it helps them avoid the pain of shipping costs every time they buy something.
Moreover, payment-related pain is mitigated by the perceived fairness of the exchange — most online shoppers would rather buy more items to reach the free shipping threshold than pay for shipping fees (which has no tangible or direct benefit to them).

6. Use The Illusion Of Progress To Encourage Visitors To Finish What They Started
If you’ve ever seen frequent buyer cards that have one or two items “pre-stamped,” you’ve probably wondered what kind of psychology is at work. The practice is based on a study which showed that people who were given pre-stamped cards tended to purchase more frequently than those who were given empty cards.The existing stamps gave customers a sense of being closer to the goal, which motivated them to accumulate more stamps and complete the card.
You can apply the same principle to get website abandoners to come back and finalize their purchase. First, tailor your remarketing and retargeting messages to emphasize how close they are to completing their task (e.g., “You’re almost finished” or “It’s almost yours”).
Screwfix encourages abandoners to complete their orders by reminding them how close they are to the finish line.

Ciencias clinicas ; Cancer.
El cáncer de próstata
es el más frecuente en el varón y su incidencia aumenta con la edad,
hasta el punto de que se estima que a la edad de 80 años el 80% de los
hombres habrán tenido este tipo de cáncer. Sin embargo, se trata de un tumor en el que cabe obtener un diagnóstico precoz mediante un análisis de sangre para medir el PSA, que ya se realiza a todos los hombres a partir de los 45-50 años. Cuando se da esta circunstancia, este tipo de cáncer es operable y consecuentemente curable.
Por otra parte, según datos de 2012 aportados en un informe elaborado por la Sociedad Española de Oncología Médica (SEOM), en términos de incidencia, es decir, del número de nuevos casos por año, siguen al cáncer de próstata el colorrectal, de pulmón y estómago. También son frecuentes en los varones el cáncer de vejiga, de laringe, los linfomas, la leucemia y el melanoma. Este último viene registrando un aumento significativo en los últimos años -del orden de un 7%, según datos de la Academia Española de Dermatología y Venerología (AEDV)-, especialmente en jóvenes, como consecuencia de una mayor exposición al sol sin la protección adecuada.
Pese a ello, el cáncer de pulmón es la causa más frecuente de mortalidad por cáncer entre los hombres, seguido del cáncer colorrectal y el de próstata.

Estar en tus 20s ; Vida de parranda o vida de estudio ?
Estar en tus 20s puede ser algo sumamente complicado o sumamente divertido. Si eliges que sea divertido, tu futuro probablemente pagara el precio. Es necesario hacer todos tus esfuerzos hoy para que en un futuro tengas estabilidad económica y no tengas que depender de tus padres a los 28+ (como algunas amistades que tengo)…
Be yong, have fun ; pero no pierdas la vista en tus metas.
8 Things To Do In Your 20s To Find Success Later On.
Being in your twenties can really suck. It’s a stressful,
confusing chapter of life between the joyous and beer-infused years of
college and actual adulthood.
If you’re somewhere between 20 and 30 and you’re on the verge of losing your mind (or you already have), don’t worry, you’re not alone.
A lot of us spend our twenties second-guessing ourselves whilst contemplating the future. Some of us are in hurry to get somewhere while others are content to go nowhere.
You don’t have to have everything figured out by the time you’re 30. Life is long, chaotic, beautiful, random and dynamic.
The only thing that you can truly rely on in this world is change, it’s constant. This is precisely why a person’s twenties are so confusing. It’s a period of metamorphosis, when we shed our youthful naïveté and begin to shape the world around us from what we’ve learned.
Success in life is ultimately subjective, and it’s based on what a person values. There is no single path toward success. Yet, we can all agree that feeling successful, on a personal level, is largely a product of whether or not you feel fulfilled.
The path toward success is all about finding the balance between what is practical and what we desire.
No one wants to waste his or her life. We all want to ensure that we make the most of it.
Here are eight things to do in your twenties to find success later on. These steps won’t guarantee happiness, but they will certainly help ensure that you spend your time wisely during one of the most important decades of your life.
Not to mention, you’ll never look back and think, what would life had been like had I been “this” instead of “that”?
Find what makes you tick. Don’t just stay in a job because of the money or because you fear the perils of unemployment.
Ask yourself what you really want in life.
It’s impossible to like 100 percent of your job. There will be moments of frustration. Yet, if what you dislike about your job outweighs what you enjoy about it, you’re in the wrong profession.
We only get one life, don’t waste it doing something that doesn’t speak to your soul.
As the philosopher Alan Watts once stated:
Life was never meant to be monotonous.
You will likely struggle in your twenties. You will have moments of despair. There will be times when it feels like all of your peers are far ahead of you, but this is all an illusion.
Success is not achieved overnight; it’s not superficial, nor is it a title or plaque on the wall.
Success is about the long game; you have to be willing to put the work in. It requires patience and perseverance.
Comparing yourself to others is a waste of time, an unnecessary and self-imposed obstacle.
Remember that everyone is unique, and that life is not a race, it’s a journey.
Indeed, children often view their parents as superheroes, only to grow up and find they are just as flawed as everyone else.
This does not mean that they don’t still have a great deal to teach us, however.
We spend much of our teens rejecting and ignoring our parents. It’s a natural part of young adulthood in which we feel we know better because we have finally begun to understand the realities of the world.
Believe it or not, even in your twenties, your parents still know more than you. Wisdom is a product of experience.
Become friends with your parents, listen to their advice, learn from their mistakes and value your time with them. Remember that they won’t be here forever.
Your twenties are by far the best time to travel. As life moves forward, you become constrained by commitments. Go while you still can.
There is so much we can learn from traveling. It teaches us the true value of home, while also exposing us to the intricacies of other cultures.
Simultaneously, travel reveals that no matter how different people may appear, we all simply want to live happy and free lives. All humans laugh, cry, eat, drink, sing, dance and love.
Embrace the world around you, there is so much to see and do. Don’t just be a tourist, truly immerse yourself in another culture.
Don’t just travel outside of your country either, also explore what’s within it. Diversity is a borderless entity.
The world would be more empathetic, understanding and compassionate if more people traveled.
A lot of us are far more privileged than people both within our country and around the world. Much of this is a product of our hard work, but a great deal of our fortune has also been left up to chance.
Give back to the world. Not only will it benefit others, it will enrich your own life and grant you new perspective.
Only those who have lived in poverty can understand its true impact. Yet, it’s important for all people to step outside of their comfort zone here and there in order to begin to grasp what it means to struggle.
A society is measured by how it treats its weakest members. If we can learn this in our twenties, we will create a much brighter civilization for the future. Not to mention, it looks great on your résumé.
Start exercising and eating right now. Don’t want until it’s too late.
The number one cause of death in the United States is heart disease, caused mainly by our poor diets and lack of exercise.
If you want to live a long and happy life, put the work in now so that you don’t suffer later on.
Not to mention, if you want the energy to perpetuate your success as you get older, you need to be in good shape.
Find activities that make you forget about everything that troubles you.
We might move on, quit or get fired from jobs, but hobbies stay with us for life.
One day you’ll retire, and you don’t want to be left with nothing to do.
Your mind is a treasure chest of stories and memories.
Spend your money on things that will enrich your life, not items that provide you with a fleeting sense of satisfaction.
You don’t want to end up old and broke with a closet full of moldy clothing and busted shoes.
Life is about so much more than money, which comes and goes as it is. If you can understand this lesson by the end of your twenties, you’re already wise beyond your years.
Don’t sweat over the small stuff, just enjoy the ride.

Try as many jobs as possible, don’t settle.
Don’t box yourself in. Explore what you’re good at. Develop a diverse skill set, it will make you more marketable in the long-run.Not to mention, you’ll never look back and think, what would life had been like had I been “this” instead of “that”?

As the philosopher Alan Watts once stated:
Better to have a short life… full of what you like doing, than a long life spent in a miserable way.Don’t allow prescribed notions of success to force you into a profession that makes you miserable.
Life was never meant to be monotonous.
Stop comparing yourself to others.
What other people are doing in life is not a measure of your worth in this world. We all have our own paths.You will likely struggle in your twenties. You will have moments of despair. There will be times when it feels like all of your peers are far ahead of you, but this is all an illusion.

Become friends with your parents.
Most of us grow up feeling both terrified and in awe of our parents. Parents, for those of us lucky enough to have them, are a person’s first model of adulthood.Indeed, children often view their parents as superheroes, only to grow up and find they are just as flawed as everyone else.
This does not mean that they don’t still have a great deal to teach us, however.

Humans were never meant to sit still. The world’s earliest people were nomadic. Our ancestors roamed the world. Traveling is in our blood.Your twenties are by far the best time to travel. As life moves forward, you become constrained by commitments. Go while you still can.
There is so much we can learn from traveling. It teaches us the true value of home, while also exposing us to the intricacies of other cultures.
Simultaneously, travel reveals that no matter how different people may appear, we all simply want to live happy and free lives. All humans laugh, cry, eat, drink, sing, dance and love.
Embrace the world around you, there is so much to see and do. Don’t just be a tourist, truly immerse yourself in another culture.
Don’t just travel outside of your country either, also explore what’s within it. Diversity is a borderless entity.
The world would be more empathetic, understanding and compassionate if more people traveled.
Volunteer, do humanitarian work, step outside of your comfort zone.
There is nothing more fulfilling than realizing you have had a palpable and positive impact on other people.A lot of us are far more privileged than people both within our country and around the world. Much of this is a product of our hard work, but a great deal of our fortune has also been left up to chance.
Give back to the world. Not only will it benefit others, it will enrich your own life and grant you new perspective.
Only those who have lived in poverty can understand its true impact. Yet, it’s important for all people to step outside of their comfort zone here and there in order to begin to grasp what it means to struggle.
A society is measured by how it treats its weakest members. If we can learn this in our twenties, we will create a much brighter civilization for the future. Not to mention, it looks great on your résumé.
Exercise, eat right, get healthy now.
As you get further into your twenties, you’ll begin to realize that your metabolism isn’t as cooperative as it used to be.Start exercising and eating right now. Don’t want until it’s too late.
The number one cause of death in the United States is heart disease, caused mainly by our poor diets and lack of exercise.
If you want to live a long and happy life, put the work in now so that you don’t suffer later on.
Not to mention, if you want the energy to perpetuate your success as you get older, you need to be in good shape.
Find activities that make you feel fulfilled beyond work.
Work should not be your only source of fulfillment.Find activities that make you forget about everything that troubles you.
We might move on, quit or get fired from jobs, but hobbies stay with us for life.
One day you’ll retire, and you don’t want to be left with nothing to do.
Spend your money on experiences, not stuff.
Stop spending your money on material items. None of these things will last, while experiences are eternal.Your mind is a treasure chest of stories and memories.
Spend your money on things that will enrich your life, not items that provide you with a fleeting sense of satisfaction.
You don’t want to end up old and broke with a closet full of moldy clothing and busted shoes.
Life is about so much more than money, which comes and goes as it is. If you can understand this lesson by the end of your twenties, you’re already wise beyond your years.
Don’t sweat over the small stuff, just enjoy the ride.
What percentage of your brain do you use?
Two thirds of the population believes a myth that has been propagated
for over a century: that we use only 10% of our brains. Hardly! Our
neuron-dense brains have evolved to use the least amount of energy while
carrying the most information possible -- a feat that requires the
entire brain. Richard E. Cytowic debunks this neurological myth (and
explains why we aren’t so good at multitasking).

Tener un pliegue diagonal en el lóbulo de la oreja ...
Tener un pliegue diagonal en el lóbulo de la oreja es un marcador de riesgo de infarto o ictus
Así se desprende de un estudio presentado en el congreso que la Sociedad Española de Cardiología (SEC) celebra estos días en Santiago de Compostela. El pliegue considerado como marcador de enfermedad cardiovascular debe ser aquel cuya inclinación tiene 45 grados en ambas orejas. En el estudio analizaron a 300 sujetos a los que se les realizaron fotografías de ambas orejas.
Investigadores de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) y el Hospital La Paz de Madrid han descubierto que la presencia de un pliegue diagonal en el lóbulo de la oreja puede ser un marcador de enfermedad cardiovascular y relacionarse con la aparición del infarto e ictus. Así se desprende de los resultados de un estudio presentado en el congreso que la Sociedad Española de Cardiología (SEC) celebra estos días en Santiago de Compostela, en el que además han coincidido que el pliegue considerado como marcador de enfermedad cardiovascular debe ser aquel cuya inclinación tiene 45 grados en ambas orejas. Entre los sujetos con antecedentes de infarto, un 45,8% mostraba este pliegue En el estudio analizaron a 300 sujetos a los que se les realizaron fotografías de ambas orejas, clasificándolas según las características del pliegue (bilateralidad, inclinación, longitud y profundidad) y posteriormente se estudió la historia clínica para relacionar a aquellos que tenían antecedente de enfermedad cardiovascular (infarto o ictus). De los sujetos estudiados, el 31% presentaba dicho pliegue pero, tras analizar sus antecedentes de accidente cerebrovascular, vieron que quienes habían sufrido un ictus lo tenían con más frecuencia (un 48,9%, frente al 27,8% de aquellos sin antecedentes de ictus). Y entre los sujetos con antecedentes de infarto, un 45,8% mostraba este pliegue, tasa que se reducía a casi la mitad (28,2%) en aquellos sin infarto, ha añadido Esteban López de Sá, cardiólogo del Hospital La Paz de Madrid y uno de los autores del trabajo. Lesiones vasculares con crecimiento desigual La oreja es, junto con la nariz, el único órgano que crece a lo largo de toda la vida, por lo que cuando una persona padece enfermedad arterioesclerótica también sufre pequeñas lesiones vasculares en diversas zonas. Y en el caso de producirse estas lesiones en la oreja, se origina un crecimiento desigual fomentando el pliegue. "Lo que muestran estos resultados es que la forma del lóbulo de la oreja puede indicar al médico a simple vista que la persona podría padecer una enfermedad cardiovascular o múltiples factores de riesgo cardiovascular", ha destacado López de Sá. Una situación que, para estos expetos, hace que en todas aquellas personas que presenten el pliegue y no hayan sido diagnosticadas de enfermedad cardiovascular se debe recomendar un chequeo porque es "muy probable que sean hipertensos, diabéticos o hipercolesterolémicos y, por lo tanto, necesiten tratamiento para controlar estos factores de riesgo y prevenir así complicaciones cardiacas futuras".
