			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is not uncommon for Americans to be struggling to pay their bills when the economy is in crisis. Though people may have been able to comfortably pay their mortgages in previous years, many people are looking to refinance their mortgages to obtain a lower monthly payment. What are the pros and cons of refinancing?</p>
<p><img src="http://www.iknow2.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/115-mortgage-refinancing.jpg" alt="Mortgage refinancing" title="Mortgage refinancing" width="300" height="300" class="alignright size-full wp-image-3237" /></p>
<p>A lower monthly mortgage payment is not the only effect of mortgage refinancing. One of the benefits of mortgage refinancing is the ability to lock in a lower interest rate. People may get a type of mortgage for which they can get approved at the time of the home purchase with plans on refinancing to get a better type of mortgage or better interest rate at a later time.</p>
<p>An adjustable interest rate mortgage may be refinanced for a fixed interest rate mortgage while the interest rates are low. Some people may only qualify for an ARM mortgage that has a balloon payment due after seven or fifteen years.  For people who have a mortgage with a balloon payment due, it is often necessary to refinance to avoid this lump sum payment. </p>
<p>There are some disadvantages of refinancing a mortgage. Homeowners often have to pay fees and other closing costs to get a mortgage refinanced. These closing costs can be thousands of dollars. It’s very important for homeowners to obtain a disclosure of the closing costs from the mortgage company or bank doing the refinancing.</p>
<p>Another possible disadvantage is time added to the loan. If a homeowner has fifteen years left on their mortgage, it may or may not make sense for them to refinance for a thirty year mortgage. By doing so, they are adding fifteen years to the life of their loan. However, if the current payment is causing hardship or a looming balloon payment is unattainable, it may be beneficial to refinance for a lower monthly payment.</p>
<p>A potential problem with mortgage refinancing is pulling cash out of the equity in the home. Though homeowners may need money for legitimate reasons, the homeowners should consider the long term costs cashing in their equity. The equity in the home is often a homeowner’s greatest asset. </p>
<p>Any time a person is cashing in an asset, the person should consider any ramifications for doing so. For example, some people have found it necessary to use home equity to help pay for retirement either by selling the house or getting a home equity loan to pay off high-interest debt. If a person has already cashed in their equity, it typically takes years to build a significant amount of equity.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stem cells are cells that have the ability to become different types of cells in the body. During fetal development, the cells become differentiated and form the various tissues like bone, muscle, and organs. Stem cells have not been programmed to form a particular type of tissue. What are stem cells used for?</p>
<p><img src="http://www.iknow2.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/109-stem-cell-research.jpg" alt="Stem cell research" title="Stem cell research" width="200" height="300" class="alignright size-full wp-image-3204" /></p>
<p>The ability of these cells to become cells for different types of tissues has made them the focus of treatment research for many illnesses. Stem cells are used in research to learn more about how cells and cell development affect disease. Sometimes, stem cells are used to test new medications. Some people have ethical objections to the use of stem cells and some of the stem cell research that includes gene manipulation.</p>
<p>One of the common ethical objections pertains to the source of the stem cells used in research. Stem cells can be obtained from human embryos and aborted fetuses. Though many people associate stem cell research with aborted fetuses, people should understand that not all stem cells are obtained from aborted fetuses.</p>
<p>Stem cells can be obtained from umbilical cords and cells from adults. Even collections of fat cells procured from liposuction procedures can contain stem cells. Menstrual blood is another source of stem cells. So, not all stem cell research depends on embryos and fetuses.</p>
<p>Some medical treatments are already using stem cells. Stem cells are being used as a treatment for leukemia. Research is being conducted in hopes of learning how to use stem cells to treat Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, spinal cord injuries, heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and other debilitating and sometimes fatal diseases. </p>
<p>In some cases, stem cells can be used to repair tissues that have been torn or otherwise damaged. Injecting stem cells at the site of the tissue tear may result in the stem cells replacing the torn cells and rebuilding the healthy tissue. These treatments that use stem cells to replace damaged cells are sometimes called cell-based therapies.</p>
<p>Many people hope that stem cell research will lead to more advanced cell-based therapies that may replace or greatly enhance the current organ transplant process. Organ transplants can cause complications such as rejection of the transplanted organ by the person’s body. Some researchers are working to understand how stem cells may be used to reduce this potentially fatal complication of organ transplants by using stem cells to ensure a perfect match to the organ recipient.   </p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Irregular heartbeats is also known as cardiac arrhythmias or commonly known as arrhythmias. The normal, healthy body has a constant heartbeat rhythm that ensures essential blood flow throughout the body goes unnoticed. However, for some people, electrical impulse that synchronizes the heart beat does not function properly in their body causing the heart to beat in an irregular pattern. Irregular heartbeats are fairly common sickness in the United States. Some people may experience that their heart has skipped a beat, while others may feel that their heart have an unexpected fluttering heart beat pattern. Although most of the irregular heartbeats are harmless, some can be extremely dangerous and require medical treatment.</p>

<p>There are plenty of causes for irregular heartbeats and sometimes you may not be able to figure out the causes at all. However, people with healthy hearts and no other underlying health concerns, developing a dangerous irregular heartbeats will be rare. However, the bigger concerns goes to those who have been diagnosed with a condition that influences blood supply to the heart or anything that have got to do with the heart because the most common cause of irregular heartbeats is heart disease as the injured heart will interfere with the electric impulses of the heart.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The liver is one of the most important organs in the human body. It is responsible for 500 bodily functions, ranging from processing what ever we breathe, ingest, and absorb from our skins. The liver also regulates fats, sugars and cholesterol in our body and will filter out the unnecessary stuffs out. The liver is one the largest organs in the body and it main role is to detoxify the body and filtering poisons such as drugs, alcohols, heavy metals and infectious organism. When the liver are infected with disease it does not only affect the liver but it will affect the whole body due to the functions liver performs in the body. You will be able to prevent liver damage if you know what are the early signs of liver damage.</p>

It is advisable that you go to doctor for liver check up every 3 months once if you are an alcoholic and/or abusing drugs. Jaundice or the yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes is one of the signs of liver damage. This is caused by the liver inability to process metabolic enzyme causes the yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Missed period is the most fearsome thing that could happen to a woman unless she is expecting pregnancy. Although pregnancy is the first thing that comes into mind when a woman missed her period, it is usually not the case because there are many reasons people tend to have late period and if you are not expecting pregnancy, you will be able to breathe with relief because there are other reasons for missed period other than pregnancy. You must be thinking, what are the reasons for missed period?</p>
<p>With the current world situation where everything goes in a fast pace, it is very common for people to have stress. For women, stress can affect many things in their life, which is including their menstrual cycle or known as periods. When a woman’s body is stressed out, the body system will reduce the amount of hormone that causes the body to not ovulate. You can consult your doctor to find out what you need to do to relax and get back on your menstrual cycle.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.iknow2.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/period.jpg" alt="period" title="period" width="300" height="225" class="alignright size-full wp-image-2912" /></p>
<p>A sudden illness can confuse your body’s hormone and this will cause your period to be delays. However, this situation is usually temporary. Change in medications can cause confusions to you body and you are advised to consult your doctor about the side effect of the medications. If you are on birth control pills, you must consult your doctor for the type of birth control that suits your current body condition the most. Being overweight can hormonally shift your cycles and even stop them because your body system may get covered by the excessive amount of fats. However, you can always exercise and try to lose weight and you will see your menstrual cycles come back after you have loss some weight.</p>
<p>The menstrual cycle varies from woman to woman. Some woman will have menstrual cycle of 28 days long but it is not true for everyone. Sometimes you may lost track of your menstrual cycle because of your busy schedule and you may thought that you have missed your period. It is advised that you keep a calendar schedule on your menstrual cycle.</p>
<p>Last reason for missed periods, will be pregnancy and it will be the good news for women who are expecting it. You can buy pregnancy test to test whether you are pregnant or not. </p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Memory loss is a very important condition socially. This is because memory loss is a condition that can affect the social participation of the individual. There are various causes of memory loss that each and every person should know because only when an individual knows what are the causes of memory loss can adequate steps to prevent the memory loss be taken.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.iknow2.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/memory-loss.gif" alt="Memory loss." title="memory loss" width="206" height="288" class="alignright size-full wp-image-2223" /><br />
The primary cause of memory loss that affects many people around the world seems to be old age. The number of people in the old age group keeps increasing with the increased availability of health and medical care. This has led to more people being at a risk of memory loss. Memory loss causes the people to lose track of various things. There are people who have severe memory loss who may not even remember who they are. There are others with a mild form of memory loss where they only forget a few things, like misplacing various things.</p>
<p>Other than old age, the other most important cause of memory loss is disease. There are a lot of diseases that can cause memory loss in an individual. Stroke is one condition that can cause the individual to have memory loss. This is because when a peson is affected by stroke, a part of the brain is dead because of the decrease in the blood supply to the part of the brain. If the part of the brain that is concerned wtith memory gets affected, then it can lead to memory loss.</p>
<p>Other diseases that can cause loss of memory are those affecting the brain. Diseases like Parkinsonism, Alzheimers disease are also some of the common causes of memory loss. Repeated injuries to the head can also be the cause of memory loss. This can commonly be seen in boxers who have had injury to their brain over a period of many years and they commonly have memory loss.</p>
<p>People who have had head injury also can have memory loss. There are many incidents of road accidents where the barin is damaged and this can also be the cause of memory loss in an individual. A person who has had any surgery to the brain can also have memory loss after the surgery because of damage to the brain during surgery.</p>
<p>There are many people who do not exercise their brain adequately. These are people who do not think adequately and may not really put their brains to work. These are also the people who are highly prone for memory loss.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Diabetes is a condition in which there is a high glucose level in the blood and is a disease condition. In this condition, the person has to try to reduce the glucose level in the blood. Hypoglycemia is the exact opposite condition of diabetes where there is hyperglycemia. Though Hypoglycemia is a very dangerous condition, it may not always be a disease condition. This is because the person who is seemingly normal may also have hypoglycemia under certain circumstances. People with diabetes are more at risk for getting hypoglycemia, mainly because of the medications that they take to control the hyperglycemia. All those prone to get this condition should know what are the causes of hypoglycemia so that they are able to control the condition.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.iknow2.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/hypoglycemia.jpg" alt="Hypoglycemia." title="hypoglycemia" width="300" height="300" class="alignright size-full wp-image-2469" />The most important and common cause of hypoglycemia is the medications that people affected by diabetes take. The increased dosage of these medications can cause the person to have a sudden drop in the glucose levels of the blood. This in turn can cause hypoglycemia in the person which causes symptoms like fainting and increased sweating. If the person does not take immediate steps to control this hypoglycemia, then the person can even go into a state of coma.</p>
<p>The other cause of hypoglycemia can be decreased intake of food. A person may not have eaten food for some time and when the person has the decrease in the glucose levels of the blood due to the decreased consumption of food, then the person can also go into a state of hypoglycemia. This is not as common as the hypoglycemia caused by medications, but it still could be dangerous. This is the reason that it is emphasized that breakfast should be consumed every day. This can prevent people from getting hypoglycemia.</p>
<p>Another important cause for people to get hypoglycemia is the excess physical exercise or stress that they undergo. There are people who are overworked under very hot conditions. This can make the person lose a lot of energy from the body. The glucose level in the blood also decreases as a result of the excessive exercise. This too can result in the person getting hypoglycemic. This is because glucose is spent when the person does strenuous exercise.
