Eden Garden will not host India England match in World Cup
A sad news for all the fans in India. The match between India and England was supposed to be hosted by Eden Gardens on Feb 27th 2011. But there was a twist today in the news. ICC has now confirmed that the India England match will not happen in Eden Gardens. The stadium which is known to have hosted some great and exciting matches in the past is under shame because of irresponsible officials of Cricket Association of Bengal. The reason behind this decision is the unpreparedness of the ground which is undergoing renovation. What are these officials doing. Though they can't promote in a good way, which can't they atleast host a match that too a world cup match. The match which was cancelled will most probably be hosted in Bangalore. Hope they prepare the stadium for the rest of the matches, or it is the biggest embarassment for Indian Cricket.

For Pregnant Womens
Mothers-to-be who eat nuts every day may increase their child's risk of developing asthma by 50%, claim Dutch researchers. Nearly 4,000 pregnant women completed diet questionnaires, and their children were monitored for eight years. The results, published in a US journal, suggest that potent allergens found in some nuts might prime the foetus to be allergy-prone.
Other studies, however, have been less conclusive about nuts and asthma risk. The factors during pregnancy, or early life, that cause some children to develop asthma while others are unaffacted are still unclear. Asthma runs in families, suggesting a strong hereditary link, but the environment still plays a significant role.

Asthma runs in families, suggesting a strong hereditary link, but the environment still plays a significant role.
However, comparing women who ate nuts daily during pregnancy to those who ate them "rarely" consistently pointed to an increased risk, with between a 40% and 60% rise in the chances of wheeze, asthma symptoms in general, and use of steroids. Dr Saskia Willers, from the University of Utrecht, who led the study, said: "While it is too early to make recommendations of avoidance, it is important for pregnant women to eat healthily, and what is true for many foods is that too much is never good." The study examined the effect of eating different types of nuts, including peanuts, which botanically are not a true nut. Peanuts have been closely associated with allergy.
"Peanut is a potent allergen, and peanut allergy is associated with anaphylactic shock and is less likely to be outgrown than other allergies." The research also found lower asthma rates in the children of mothers who ate more fruit during pregnancy. However, researchers suggested that other aspects of a healthier lifestyle followed by these women might be responsible. The study was published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, published by the American Thoracic Society. Professor John Heffner, a past president of the society, said there was not enough evidence that the nut diet had caused the problem, and he called for more studies. "These findings emphasise the critical importance of additional investigations into the environmental exposures for both mother and child." Leanne Male, from Asthma UK, also said that further studies would be needed before firm dietary advice could be given to pregnant women, as other research had thrown up contradictory results. She said: 'Some studies say that the vitamin E and other health properties nuts contain, especially when consumed as part of a healthy Mediterranean-style diet, can be protective against asthma."
Disease prevention by just exercise
Being physically fit could hold back the advance of Alzheimer's disease, US researchers have suggested. Their study, published in the journal Neurology, looked at 121 people aged over 60, around half of them in the early stages of the disease. Those with Alzheimer's who were less fit had four times more signs of brain shrinkage than those who were fit. The Alzheimer's Research Trust said other research showed exercise reduced the risk of dementia.
Some 700,000 people in the UK are living with dementia, with this number predicted to grow quickly over the next two decades, as the proportion of older people in the population increases.
Other studies looking at the relationship between dementia and exercise tend to focus on whether being active can reduce the risk of the condition developing in the first place. Mr Jeffrey Burns, from the University of Kansas School of Medicine, said his was one of the first to look at whether exercise could affect the progress of the illness. His volunteers underwent a treadmill test to see how fit they were and then their brains were scanned for shrinkage, which is one way of measuring the severity of their Alzheimer's.

While there was no relationship between brain size and exercise in people tested who did not have Alzheimer's, Dr Burns said the four-fold difference in those who did was evidence that exercise might help. He said: "People with early Alzheimer's disease may be able to preserve their brain function for a longer period of time by exercising regularly and potentially reducing the amount of brain volume lost. "Evidence shows decreasing brain volume is tied to poorer cognitive performance, so preserving more brain volume may translate into better cognitive performance." Susanne Sorensen, head of research at the Alzheimer's Society, said: "Exercise increases blood flow to the brain, delivering oxygen and nutrients to brain cells. "This is one possible explanation why dementia progresses slower in people who are physically fit. "Exercise also reduces your risk of developing dementia so it's important to take regular exercise. A healthy heart means a healthy brain." Rebecca Wood, chief executive of the Alzheimer's Research Trust, said: "This adds to previous research showing that exercise helps reduce the risk of dementia and slows down its onset. "A balanced diet and regular exercise can improve the quality of life of older people with dementia, as well as those who do not have the condition."
Diabetes - Precautionary Measure
A discovery by scientists may help reduce the risk of people with diabetes losing a limb. Circulatory complications can lead to leg ulcers and gangrene so severe that limb amputation is the only answer. Work by the University of Bristol has pinpointed a protein in cells which could be responsible. It is hoped it could lead to drug treatment to reduce the number of Britons who lose a limb to diabetes from the current 100 each week.
Diabetes, if not properly treated, can lead to a restricted blood supply to the tissues and a reduced capacity to recover from injury due to the body's inability to grow new blood vessels to speed the healing process. This can leave limbs, in particular the legs and feet, vulnerable to ulcers and gangrene. The Bristol team, whose work on mice is featured online in Circulation Research, focused on a protein receptor called p75NTR. It is not found in the cells that line healthy blood vessels which are able to heal rapidly from injury. However, diabetes causes these cells to start producing p75NTR and this appears to undermine the ability to grow the new blood vessels necessary to drive the healing process.
