People with AMD May often read that the corrugated or winding routes. May seems unclear faces, colors or May they are not so clear. Some people also experience May the darkness of the night or on a slope empty spaces in the center of his vision, and the reproduction of small signs or billboards May Signal difficult. If they are not treated, the AMD can cause irreversible damage, including loss of vision.
There are two types of AMD: wet and dry. The dry AMD is the most common, representing about 85 percent of all AMD cases. The dry AMD occurs when light-sensitive cells of the macula decompose slowly, slowly blurred vision in the eye affected. An early sign of AMD is the presence of drusen, "yellowish deposits left by the distribution of these cells, which are under the retina.
The wet AMD, the most advanced and severe form of the disease occurs when the blood vessels begin to grow under the macula, a very sensitive part of the retina responsible for central vision rummaging. These new blood vessels are very sensitive and May by the escape of blood and fluid. The flight then May damage Standing photosensitive cells of the retina, the dying and the dead angle in the central vision.
"How many baby boomers between its sixth decade, the awareness and understanding of eye diseases are essential, especially taking into account the results may be disastrous consequences," said Mr. Marchi, Lorraine, the founder and head of the Directorate of the National Association for Visually Impaired (NAVH), an association dedicated to the "hard see" Dealing with the psychological impact of visual impairments. "With AMD, there are treatments that can help to stabilise."
There is no treatment or wet or dry AMD. However, current research has led to a better understanding of the disease and the means to effectively treat.
Doctors now know that the wet form of the disease is a natural, so abnormal, the blood vessels leak and biochemical processes that cause these changes in the blood vessels to grow fragile and escape. Once they grow, and the damage starts continue until the growth, bleeding and leaks were all arrested. To effectively wet AMD in the long term, it is important to his physical component through the barrier of the leaky blood vessels; in order to prevent further damage can lead to a loss of vision.
According to Carl Regillo, MD, professor of ophthalmology at Thomas Jefferson University in Pennsylvania, "The physical aspect of wet AMD is a bit like a cancer. Since the tumors, blood vessels are wines. Not only must prevent the formation of new tumors, but also treat cancer that already exists. And the same applies to the blood vessels under the macula.
While researchers continue to find a cure for wet AMD, there are treatment options available to help stabilize the disease. Visudyne ® (verteporfin for injection) is a treatment option to treat for a specific type of AMD known mainly as a classic subfoveal chorioidalen neovascularisation. He uses photodynamic therapy (PDT), low energy consumption with a laser light activates the drug, verteporfin, and the physical address of the disease will help to isolate leaks, the changes in blood vessels.
Other options for treatment include a group of medicines called anti-VEGFs remove involved in the protein vascular endothelial growth factor, which plays a role in the formation of new blood vessels.
Since only the various possibilities of treatment for patients who have wet AMD, it is important for patients to discuss the best option with their doctor. It is also important for caregivers and people at risk for AMD to ask whether the ECI have problems with their eyes. An early diagnosis can significantly improve the chances of a positive treatment.

5 Nutritional Myths That May Change Your Life
We are constantly bombarbed of "High", which is often the search for food causes confusion. A few years ago, the eggs were "bad", but now they are "good"; regulation of soda is an excellent way to lose weight, but it correlates with the obesity; chicken was as a source of protein in normal, but now lacé be with unhealthy hormones. Often it is sufficient to turn his head. In this article I would like to dispel the myths nutritional status 7th May, that the aid appears to be some confusion, and put a further step towards the achievement of perfection in your weight loss or fitness program.
Myth No. 1: Fat-free yogurt is an excellent tool in a weight loss diet.
A large part of the yogurt to the food business is essentially a Smoothie sugar. Key Lime pie, kiwi, raspberry, strawberry, banana - you know the name or the taste of fruit and usually this means that high doses of sugar were added to the whole aroma. Often the "fruit-à-la-bas" is a poor quality of fruit, were so badly damaged, or sell ripe for the production of raw materials. Your reaction of the body is a hormonal response, induces the storage of fat and an increase in appetite! Instead, simple operation, with no added sugar, no fat yogurt, and your own fruit, berries and nuts. Never feel at the end with all - this is what the cover! Often, a small yogurt with this healthy, may take up to 2 or 3 separate snacks.
Myth # 2: The cholesterol of eggs is bad for your body.
Cholesterol is an important part of our cells, so that an essential element in the fight against inflammation, what we know is high in the presence of stress, alcohol, injuries and even exercise. The natural sources of cholesterol in fact * * to your place overall health! An egg contains a rather more lecithin is to split the cholesterol in the egg itself. Unfortunately, an egg is often accompanied by a huge slice butter for frying, some strips bacon or sausages or even a bad breakfast pastries. Instead, it will try to get this for breakfast - frying an egg in a just a few drops of olive oil, and eat more than a bowl of porridge - Raise the level of good cholesterol, increase the supply of fibers, and you start the day with a large Influx of proteins. And if you at a lower proportion of fatty foods, the gap yellow, and eat protein.
Myth No. 3: the saturated fats is the first contribution to heart disease.
In fact, the saturated fats in the form of meat from animals was around long before the rise of heart disease in the modern man. During the time that the diseases of the heart often has become in America, the consumption of saturated fats of animal origin, while the consumption of trans fatty acids and hydrogenated fats in the form of margarine, shortening and refined oils increased! This model, accompanied by a sharp increase in the sugar sector for the approval and a gradual reduction in the exercise, the true culprit is today the diseases of the cardiovascular epidemic.
Myth No. 4: drinking soda and regulating the use of artificial sweeteners that helps to control weight.
Artificial Sweeteners always your digestive system to stimulate receptors, allowing the brain to go to "eat". However, without food, the body is not satisfied, the appetite and strength raffole calories. Not only the artificial sweeteners * * actually increase your appetite in this way after consumption, but they are often accompanied by many acids and chemicals used in soda can cause intestinal distress and even the injuries to the brain and nervous system. Instead of using artificial sweeteners or consume scheme, try, honey (preferably naturally), sweeteners herbs, fruit, or, of course, raw sugar for your sweet foods. But regardless of what you for sweeteners, do not forget that the hormonal response to switch from all fresh in your body fat storage, the appetite for multi-mode, so everything with moderation!
Myth No. 5: You should never eat before bedtime.
Some people burn quickly carbohydrates, and if they "do not eat-2 hours before bed" rule, they are often of hypoglycaemia during the night, which may disturb the habits of sleep, growth hormones and the immune system, what the grumpy to stimulate hunger, hunger, and the maximum storage-fat mode! Test your life - if you do not eat, 2 hours before bed, you are not hungry awake at night, or start, turn and your appetite Schneeräumer in full swing? Are you waking up to the voracious? If so, try a light meal before bedtime, the mixture of proteins and fats. This is the metabolism of carbohydrates slowly and let met for a longer period. I recommend a small handful of almonds, nuts or sunflower seeds, or if you are allergic to nuts, try some avocado slices, olives, lean or Turkey or chicken.
Remember, everyone has a body, and there are very few "rules", which is directly responsible for the entire population. Do not be afraid of experiments with your diet to know what is best for your system. If you find that you need more information, a personal trainer in the Pacific Elite Fitness can create a complete analysis of food, and provide you with tips and tricks and more to your specific type of mass and eating habits. All you have to do is to follow exactly what you eat when you eat, and how much you eat for 5-7 days at our easy to use, food supplements. After examining your newspaper, a trainer offers and benefits of specific nutritional recommendations.
