Smell so good smells can really make you happy and they can even make you healthy this is what scientists have figured out. One sense can help you relax improve your mood or have a stimulating effect and they might be able to do much much more. In its a whole clinic in northern germany aroma therapy is even used in the intensive care unit and to be of employes natural sense like lavender arent and cedar the results she achieves are significant. Because its an identity issue here in the clinic we use essential oils in pots and hot compresses or rubs what im doing smelling salts when patients feel nauseous have a headache or just feel poorly coached its all but one of those i. Under way obama has set up a center fuse or in the waiting room. She says it makes patients and staff feel better. You know we use essential oils like seed or orange to take away patients fear but also to lift the mood among staff and its been really successful weve had very positive experiences. From. What sense might be able to achieve much more according to the center researcher hans hot he made a groundbreaking discovery. We were the 1st to show that the old factory receptors found in the nose are also located throughout the body in every organ in lung tissue in the digestive tract and in the skin of. The how different types of cells react to different scents thought im all for example the scent of time appears to stimulate the bowels which has many family receptors and sandal or the scent of sandal wood seems to induce wound healing by accelerating the division of skin cells. When the researchers examined cancer cells looking for a factory receptor they made another exciting discovery cancer cells have up to 10000. 00 times more scent receptor than healthy cells. Some even stopped growing when they were exposed to certain sense now the researchers want to find out which particular tumors react to which particular substances. Were looking at lung cancer cancer colon melanoma breast cancer. We found specific all factory receptors in large numbers and were trying to activate them. Does this go with us was it maybe in 10 years time it could hopefully provide us with the opportunity to influence tumor growth via these new receptors. To motor guy flows in but theres still a long way to go and just sniffing particular sense wont cure cancer. As obliteration garlic this is not about smelling if you want to use these substances as part of a Cancer Treatment youd have to transport the sent via medications or injections directly to the cancerous tissue in order to reach the necessary concentrations to enter. But to enjoy the Simple Pleasures of aroma therapy at home just add a few drops of our enjoy lore common lavender oil to milk salt or sugar and put them in your bath water. Then. Inhale deeply and letters sent to which were. A row therapy against cancer that sounds novel but perhaps there is a chance that we can treat cancer we cannot treat otherwise like for instance pancreatic cancer Patrick Swayze and steve jobs celebrity victims of pancreatic cancer how to treat this tumor and how the chances of survival are this is what im going to talk about with dr and bring us down. The pan cross a small organ that can often cause great problems. It live right here between your liver entier spleen your pancreatic gland usually you dont feel it that it becomes diseased it might be life threatening. At long last siegel and her husband feel as if theyve got their life back for almost 6 months things were turned upside down after who was a maria developed life threatening complications as a result of cool stones. She suddenly experienced of ear pain collapsed and lost consciousness she had to be helicoptered to hospital. And alter sound revealed that she was suffering from an acute inflammation of the pancreas the likely cause a trap gallstone. The gallstone is trapped and ends up in the area around the opening of the intestine. We can see that here in the image they call stone travels through the pile duct up to where it opens into the do odd number but then gets lodged there of the opening of the pen create a conduct is located in the same area so then that duct which releases pancreatic juice to a digestion when its unable to drain that causes pressure to build up in the pancreas that activates the digestive enzymes in the pancreas and it begins to digest itself. Was in maria was immediately given medication and then the goldstone was removed by keyhole surgery the doctors hoped that would be enough for her pancreatitis inflammation of the pancreas to disappear. And banchory otitis is usually relatively miles and can be treated with fasting rest and an infusion coupled with an appropriate pain therapy. Most cases run their course within 7. 00 to 10. 00 days. Ready but that didnt happen with was a. She suffered organ failure and only survived because she was swiftly resuscitated. Pancreatitis and its acute form means that various organs can no longer adequately fulfill their function over that leads to circulatory failure mung failure and also kidney failure as was the case with ms seeker of. Her condition remain critical for weeks on end she and her husband began to fear the worst. Ultimately her doctors decided to open her abdominal cavity to remove dying or inflamed tissue it was a risky operation with an uncertain outcome. Was a marias eagle was lucky the operation was successful and after all the pain and setbacks her condition stabilised. Now one year on shes back on her feet again her gold ladder has been removed to prevent the pancreatitis recurring. And she feels almost as fit as she did before her severe illness. Im here in the german red cross clinics in berlin west end in the department for gastroenterology and meeting dr and the storm hes head of the department of gastroenterology and she you know everything about the pancreas thanks for having me today so how dangerous is Patrick Titus figured out is can be very dangerous you know behind every most cases its not serious but how about 10 to 15 percent you know it develop necrosis and abscess us which might lead in 0. 5 to one percent of the deaths of a patient unfortunately to understand all the dangers of a pink or a type is what does the pancreas actually do its a very important organ. Somewhere hidden in the up dome in the front part of the pen crosses producing enzymes which we need to address the front the back part is producing insulin which we need to digest introduce or sugar levels so one of the main causes for pain for tightness the main course the godstone switch occluding the common bill doctor which is connected to the pancreas duct so whenever the stones we try to get them out we have. Instruments to go in the coming bodach and close the stones out of in the small of the ball to release a patient from historians on the other hand side if its a chronic alcoholic related pancreatitis is due to cut sophistications the duct is a crude it buys inflammation so we go in and have little stands here as you can see during august which are opening the compazine pancreas duct to allow the flu each to come out so its very very painful pain the leading symptom indeed pain is the reason my patients come close emergency or are calling the ambulance its very very severe pain in the domain you know and some patients think its a mere cognitive fog however we can distinguish between the heart in the pen koreas and can leave the patient to the right treatment and how do you treat it that in most cases we cannot stop the out of digestion of the pancreas theres no medication for that unfortunately so we give the patients nothing postes we arrest the pancreas we give them a lot of fluid and pain medication and usually after 5. 00 to 7. 00 days to pain chris inflammation results however on the other side you know if digestion is very severe the whole organ starts to digest themself and they close as an abscess as a consequences then we are going through the stomach was our endoscopes and removing gets the abscess in the coals this to release inflammation out of the up though. Ziska can be dangerous what happens when the tides get stronger this is a problem because of patients are complaining or constant pain this pain can be very very severe and the life quality of those patients is low on the other hand side the ability of a patient to digest food is decreased because the organ is not working well enough so the patient is losing weight as shooter amount of stool and chronic abdominal pain go in the back as this is a critical sign for chronic bankrupt itis and it is a danger for getting cancer period and create a cancer of course if you are bothering and or gone always constantly you know cells can change which can lead to a cancer so the fears are very low its a 5 to 10 percent however you need regular cat scans an m. R. I. To be sure that the chronic pain credit is as not let to cross cancer people are terribly scared about patriot cancer because often it means death but right now and there is a lot of treatments which can. See how terrible pains in his back he went to the doctor several times to find out why and get the problem treated. This way. At 1st no one thought that my back pain could have anything to do with inner organs or. Doctors at the local hospital the problem was the spine time passed and still no gas to the cause might be print counts. It was only one spot that went for a 2nd opinion to the University Hospital in heidelberg the to correct diagnosis was made. A c. T. Scan revealed in his print creates. The pancreas is a glandular organ placated deep in the up domino cavity behind the left. Between stomach. Its well Hidden Achievement that can easily remain undetected the most common kind of pancreatic cancer is Aggressive Growth and spreads quickly. Once the cima grace beyond the bounds of the organ can no longer be completely removed surgically. They told me straight out. They said without treatment you can expect to live another 3 to 6 months 6 months its. A frightening diagnosis but recent advances have significantly improved Treatment Options for pancreatic cancer a new cocktail of 3 agents have made chemotherapy more effective. Chemo now shrinks the tumor in 50 to 60 percent of our patients already does it inactive so that we can then operate. As it turned out that had already metastasized there was another chuma in his never. So he was 1st prescribed chemotherapy. He was fortunate the chemo was effective. Before long the doctors felt confident about an operation after the surgery he was also given a blast of radiation directed at the tissue surrounding the area where the 2 men had grown. Patient open abdomen is positioned under this device the advantage is that theres nothing in the way the radiation targets that human bed without damaging delicate structures along the way and we can deliver a high dose. Chemotherapy plus surgery plus radiation currently mean 2 more years of life on average 20 percent of patients survive 5 years. To cancer often comes back in the same spot or in the liver or para to me im. A lot of research is being conducted into the disease one approach to improving survival rates or even curing it involves taking cheema tissue during surgery and growing a cell culture. Chuma cells differ from patient to patient in the lab different drugs can be tried out on the samples to see which of the most effective for a particular chuma. Descendants who conspire to peters both we see the future of therapy for pancreatic cancer and customization that means optimizing it for each individual patients and tumor finding the most effective treatment option when i was through there should suffer a relapse that kind of customization might improve his chances of survival but today at least things are looking good for him. You know its been 2 years now and todays c. T. Scan was clear theres no indication the tumor has come back just so so we can all be very pleased with this and will continue to monitor your condition but not completely. Its far from longest and lets hope that weve beaten the cancer. To months of chemo whats half but now feels good again. Hes back at work full time and he says cancer has changed the way he thinks about life. Month guns under the plea for it all month that i have a very different perspective in next 10 yard instead of thinking about what i might do in 10 years time managed i now say no im not waiting im going to do a right now. The priority is to live life in the present and. How often does this cancer occur in germany about 20000 patients and you diagnose this cancer female a little bit more than meal and the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer causes a lot of fear wifes. Cancer is very dangerous unfortunately is detected very late in most cases the papers. Cannot be operated anymore with us cases in the liver and the lymph nodes are preventing a complete resection of the pain cross cancer which is necessary to heal the patient and thats what makes this cancer so aggressive 1st of all the cells are dressed very early spreading and theyre causing mental status as i mentioned on the other hand side symptoms such as weight loss or john dies very late in the disease course and when this of course the cancer is often so far advanced that it cannot be resected anymore so Early Detection would be great but actually there are no methods for that so why yes. Of course if you would perform a cat scan you would see the cancer but the reason for perform one are clearly could symptoms was normal i trust sound the pancreas is not very well seen errors preventing a very good observation of the organ so even if there is a bit of cancer it is usually not seen by your treating physician and how theyre any early signs that the patient could suspect that there is being treated cancer whenever this weight loss or change of the color of the stool is going to be more light or the changing of the color of the urine its getting dark or if your skin is itching or if you see a little bit yellow in your eyes its time to go to see a doctor or to the Emergency Care and check for your pancreas and what is the optimal therapy. Therapy is a complete resection the surgeons are taking the cancer out and hopefully every cell after they complete resection we are performing chemotherapy to destroy all remaining cells which are circulating in the body but this aggressive surgeries often the possible surgeons can take the whole gland out why. And its area where as a pancreas a lot of restaurants are on the one hand side this the liver the huge should. And theres also the small bowel so if you want to take the complete pancreas cancer out very often you have to take so many other organs out so this is not compatible with your life can you avoid it can you prevent it we know that assume that smoking and constant. Triggering inflammation off the panko to needing then in some cases to pain cross cancer however there is not a very good way to avoid it other than a normal and good Healthy Lifestyle and this is good for everyone so if we 2 would meet in 10 years time and have a little chit chat could you Say Something more positive about pancreatic cancer and they hope i hope we have better methods through detect the pancreas cancer earlier we also hope that chemotherapy in body therapy is improving so the idea to destroy or to kill all circulating pancreas cancer will hopefully improve the Life Expectancy of our patients thanks so much for the story and if youve got any questions you like me to ask the experts be sure to write me an email. On an upcoming show you will be looking at how. Everyone wants to be happy but how can we make it happen is there happiness formula sending your questions to you in good shape at d w dot com dont forget to write happiness in the subject line.

Exercise can be fun but just how healthy is it if youre not in such good shape or much to find out experts at the German Sport University in cologne are training these test subjects and monitoring their responses. For decades Sports Medicine specialist here have been monitoring the effects exercise has on the body. I have to say that the more deeply we explore the subjects the more fascinating at becomes practically every system in the body is positively influenced by sports and physical activity organs influence one another when muscles begin to work harder they start burning more oxygen to replace it cardiovascular system pumps more blood through the body keeping arterial walls elastic and strengthening the heart. It prevents premature heart attacks and also benefits the brain the risk of strokes can be hugely reduced through regular exercise. The doctors can measure how movement influences metabolism as a whole as muscles grow stronger the cells that make them up produce more and more mitochondria these organelles other cells powerhouses when cells burn sugars and fatty acids more effectively it helps prevent metabolic disorders like diabetes and exercise improve stamina as well after just a few weeks these beginners dont get breathless nearly as quickly their bodies have got better at absorbing and utilizing the oxygen supplied by their lungs. Oxygen absorption rises accordingly. Studies show that beginners can improve their general physical performance with regular bouts of exercise. Improvements of up to 40 percent are not uncommon even after just a few weeks of regular training. In durance training on the cross trainer is particularly beneficial regular exercise also has long term effect on the body.

Compact and dense that in turn can help prevent osteoporosis a particular problem among elderly women.
