According to a new study, diabetes and Alzheimer's diseases are more related than everybody thought. Some researchers believe that Alzheimer's could be a form of diabetes because findings show that insulin production in the brain declines as Alzheimer's disease advances. Through a series of experiments, a group of researchers discovered that the brain produces insulin and that this substance produced by the brains of patients with Alzheimer's illness tends to fall below normal levels. For the neuropsychologist at Rhode Island Hospital and professor of pathology at Brown University Medical School, Suzanne M. De la Monte, insulin disappears early and dramatically in Alzheimer's disease and many of the unexplained features of Alzheimer's, such as cell death and tangles in the brain, appear to...

It is common knowledge that heart failure follows another severe form of heart damage; however, until now scientists and doctors have had no way to identify those at risk. New research into genes and gene therapy has made them a potential weapon in the fight against heart failure. Scientists have made several discoveries regarding the role of genes in the detection and treatment of heart failure. Several years ago it was discovered that a small percentage of patients who had suffered heart failure possessed a defect in the gene that allows the body to detect stress signals; in essence, the heart does not know that it is working too hard and is unable to adjust. This percentage may seem insignificant; however, the gene mutation was not present in any of the healthy patients examined. Resear...

Picture this. You're late for work one day. You look at your watch and notice you have about three minutes to feed your horse before you have to leave. Plus, it seems to worsen every day. You notice your life getting busier, and you have little time, if any, to spend with your horse. Should you sell him? Should you keep him? What do you do? It depends. If you only want a pet that eats a lot of hay, then you can keep it if it is affordable. If you want to ride him, but you know you won't have time then consider selling him. (Ouch!) However, if you know you will eventually have time to ride then you can keep your horse "tuned up" by doing some "quick and easy to do" horse training maneuvers on him. For instance, you have about two minutes to feed your horse before you go to work. So you rush...
