An eleven years research done in Japan reported that work stress can increase the risk of stroke significantly.
Based on observation of 3,190 volunteers of men and 3,363 volunteers of women from various career backgrounds, researchers found that 147 volunteers were attacked by stroke.
From the amount, 91 were men and the rest were women. This research concluded that men who experience high stress at work place face double the risk of stroke compared to women.
A new research involving patient of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) found that tiotropium therapy (a drug that stops the nerve reaction that blocks the breathing route) can improve the lung function and thus improving the quality of life for its patients.
A study called UPLIFT (Understanding Potential Long-term Impacts on Function with Tiotropium) has been carried out involving 5,993 patients in 37 countries around the world.
Diseases which ‘attacks’ human are infectious diseases or outbreaks such as tuberculosis, malaria or HIV while the diseases which come from human himself are like diabetes, heart diseases, cancer and stroke.
However, from all type of diseases that stems or produced by human, there are several serious illnesses which are classified as ‘chronic’ because they have caused almost double the total death worldwide over other causes of death. Disease group which is known as ‘chronic non-communicable diseases’ (CNCD) have triggered concerns among scientists and physicians to make various effort and research to overcome its spread.
