Found new clues about the genetic origin of hypertension

|

Madrid, 11 sep (EFE).-an international group of researchers, which involves Spanish scientists, has identified 16 new genetic characteristics associated with the risk of hypertension in population of origin European.

The results of this research are published in two separate articles in the journals Nature and Nature Genetics.

These 16 new genetic traits are joining 13 others already known.

“Have been identified 16 new DNA zones associated with a greater chance of presenting figures high blood pressure, so that we know at present 29 associated with this disease,” recounts Roberto Elosua and Gavin Lucas, of the research group on epidemiology and cardiovascular genetics of the Institute’s Research Hospital del Mar (IMIM), in Barcelona.

The effect of each of these “risk characteristics” is very small, but the risk increases as to accumulate these variants genetic in a person.

29 Genetic variants known so far are in turn related to the risk of developing ventricular hypertrophy (cardiac disease consisting of an increase in the thickness of the heart muscle), stroke or cerebral accident and myocardial infarction.

Greater number of these genetic features of risk of hypertension, more likely to have stroke and myocardial infarction, according to researchers from two separate studies.

However, scientists claim that one of the “most striking results” is that these variants are not associated with the presence of renal failure, “suggesting that hypertension is a result but not a cause of renal pathology”.

Hypertension is a chronic disease characterized by an increase in continuous blood in the arteries, pressure recalls the Catalan in a press note Institute

Is known that genetic factors explain a “significant” part of the risk of hypertension, that is why, according to the IMIM, “many efforts” are investing to identify genetic characteristics linked to this pathology.

To carry out these works, which open the door to research on new therapeutic targets for the control of hypertension, has analyzed more than 200,000 people.

Affordable mobile telephony could save the lives of women and poor children

|

London, 12 sep (EFE).-the low cost of mobile phones has enabled to develop health distance, programmes aimed at saving the lives of women and children without resources, in the third world countries, according to a study led by the UN.

The health of networks of mobile application is one of the creative endeavors of the report “Innovation for each woman and each child”, which today publishes the scientific journal “The Lancet” and has been promoted by the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, and the Norwegian, Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg.

The text presents a series of “ideas that have been successful” in improving health care in developing countries for development, a goal that presents more challenges than ever before due to the global economic crisis, explained to Efe Tore Godal, Adviser special of Stoltenberg and a member of the Working Group of the UN has developed the report.

“Creativity is very important in a time of crisis.” “We need to find sustainable solutions for which we do not have to increase aid,” said Godal.

“Fascinating mobile is so the poor can acquire and use.” “Private companies can do business, and at the same time, it is a great opportunity to build better sanitation”, pointed.

Mobile telephony allows a medical care at a distance in areas of difficult access, but also facilitates the pedagogy in the field of health in populations that are not accustomed to go to the doctor.

One of the initiatives listed in the study is sending pregnant women of reminders that come to the hospital periodically via text.

More than 350,000 women die each year in developing countries due to complications during pregnancy and childbirth, and nearly three million children do not exceed the month of life, so Godal considered that this vulnerable population need improvements in systems of health.

“It is very important that mothers and children have access to health services both public and private,” said Godal, which highlighted the efforts of a chain of hospitals in the India who has managed to lower one-third the price that has to pay a mother to light.

“They are better organized and do everything possible to save to provide a good service at an affordable price.” “The poorest women still not can afford it, but those who can only afford $ 90”, explained the Chief of the first Minister Norwegian.

The UN Working Group has noted how initiatives promoted by private companies to improve the health of women have completed impacting positively on its results.

“The companies that distributed good health information among their employees who are pregnant, for example, notice how reduce absenteeism,” described Godal. EFE
