Prostate Cancer Device Market set to Triple in Asia and Latin America
(ContentDesk) January 25, 2006 - The next five years will herald massive growth for minimally invasive prostate cancer devices in several emerging markets, with high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) technology leading the way.
By 2010, the Asian and Latin American markets for brachytherapy seeds, cryoablation, and HIFU devices will gross over $25 million in revenuemore than 3 times the market value in 2005.
According to a recent report by Millennium Research Group, prostate cancer rates are rising sharply due to the aging population and changing lifestyles.
In Asia, especially, a spike in prostate cancer cases is linked to a move away from traditional diets toward more Western fare.
As rates of prostate cancer rise, so too will the interest in minimally invasive treatments.
Much, if not most, of the growth in this sector will take place in rapidly industrializing countries in the Far East and Latin America.
Although it has yet to receive approval for commercial use in the US, HIFU treatment for prostate cancer is already tapping into a rapidly growing market in China and Mexico.
The Chinese government is heavily funding research and installation of this up-and-coming technology, and a new generation of Chinese urologists is being trained to perform these procedures.
In Mexico, the growth of HIFU has been overwhelming, spurred by a public that is increasingly educated about options other than radical prostatectomy and a willingness to explore new treatments.
Meanwhile, cryoablation will also enjoy spectacular growth rates; however, this will not be attributed to demand for prostate cancer.
Instead this market will be bolstered by its minimally invasive application for renal tumors, which is proving to be a big draw in Asia where kidney cancer rates are the highest in the world.
Millennium Research Groups Emerging Markets for Prostate Cancer Devices 2006 report includes in-depth analysis on the Chinese, Indian, Singaporean, South Korean, Taiwanese, Brazilian, and Mexican markets for brachytherapy seeds, cryoablation, and HIFU.
The report includes insights into active competitors such as C.R. Bard (BCR), EDAP-TMS, Endocare (ENDO), Focus Surgery, Ningbo Junan, and Oncura. A leading source of competitive intelligence, MRG is now the largest provider of medical device market research in the world.

Diet Is A Four Letter Word!!!
Good health is decided largely by personal habits and lifestyles. Choices that influence health negatively can be the use of tobacco products, alcohol, illicit drug use and the stress of a high paced life. The most important factor in establishing and maintaining good health is good nutrition. The 1988 Surgeon General's Report on Nutrition and health states: ?For the two out of three adult Americans who do not smoke and do not drink excessively, one personal choice seems to influence longterm health prospects more than any other: What we eat.? This was confirmed in the 1989 National Research counsel Report ?Diet and health? and in the 1990 International Life Sciences Institute ? Nutrition Foundation Book, ?Present Knowledge in Nutrition.?Establishing what is an acceptable diet is highly unsettled in today's debate between the extreme and the conservative. On one side of the argument there are those that only accept the natural or organic as allowable foods.

Don't Get Weighed Down by Temporary Water Weight Gain
Health and fitness go hand-in-hand. They are so intricately related to each other that even a small disturbance in one tends to directly affect the other! Health implies a lifestyle which is carried out in a balanced way and is aimed at leading a disease-free life. Fitness refers to the state of your body and mind
wherein both are stress-free and relaxed. Fitness is directly reflected in the way you look-- your body shape and size.
All of us dream of getting a beautiful figure.
But often, due to over-indulgence and a sudden increase in calories our body may
bulge in some areas due to an over accumulation of fat. This results in "cellulite" that is often stubborn and slow to react to any kind of treatment.
Many believe that becoming slim will decrease their weight. It is not true in all cases. Slimmer people can sometimes weigh more than apparently larger people due to the weight of their bones.
On the other hand,...

The High Blood Pressure And Sodium Connection: Is Salt Raising Your Blood Pressure
Copyright 2006 Frank Mangano
You can have your cake and eat it too -- well at least you can lower your blood pressure and have your salt too. That is what recent research is telling us about sodium's role in managing blood pressure. Hypertension, it turns out, is not caused by too much salt. Neither is it lowered by simply cutting salt out of your diet. So how is it that table salt (sodium) is still getting such a bad rap and being linked to high blood pressure? The real culprit it turns out is not salt, but how your body manages sodium and its proportion to the amount of potassium, calcium and magnesium in your body.
Scientists have discovered that deficiencies in potassium, calcium and magnesium have a much greater impact on blood pressure than the mineral salt.
These other minerals are so important in controlling blood pressure that when they are out of balance with each other, they can make salt more of a threat to healthy blood pressure.

The Role of Nutrition in Preventing Dementia
A recent review of studies investigating cognitive decline in later life has drawn attention to the fact that many dementia patients suffer from a lack of vitamin B12 and folic acid.In a paper published by Ross Andel and Tiffany Hughes of the University of Florida's School of Aging Studies, strong evidence is presented that points to a connection between mental deterioration and low levels of these important nutrients.It is recommended that people make a point of including vitamin B12 in their diets by increasing consumption of foods such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy products. Supplementation is also very helpful, especially for vegetarians, and those over 50..

What would you do for a Klondike Bar?
Unfortunately, the words "diet" and "cheating" go hand in hand. When you say, "I'm on a DIET", it usually means you are depriving yourself of something. Diets do not work; they are restrictive and can become exceedingly frustrating, leading you to "cheat". The more you restrict calories and the tempting treats you love, the more likely you are to binge eat. This is counterproductive in a fat loss program and will prevent you from becoming lean.I'm sure you know the scenario; you embark on a weight loss plan (a.k.a.
A Very Low Calorie Diet) fully confident and filled with motivation and willpower. You go out to eat and turn down the dessert you desperately want and then have to sit at the table and watch EVERYONE else gobble down their brownie ala- mode or a slice of Death by Chocolate cake. As the days of deprivation go on you suddenly find yourself thinking about food more and more. You dream about the pint of ice cream that's calling your name. You begin to bargain with yourself,...

Quality Birkenstock Shoes And Sandals
Wearing birkenstock shoes is like wearing no other pair of shoes. Johann Adam Birkenstock was a shoemaker in Germany in the late 1700's. The birkenstock shoe was designed with an understanding that a person's shoes should reflect the shape of their feet. If the shoe is contoured and shaped like a human foot, comfort is sure to follow. For many, many years birkenstock shoes have done just that.
Comfort, style and durability have all been a part of every pair of birkenstocks.In prehistoric...
