		<description><![CDATA[The teen superstar has revealed she suffers from tachycardia; a condition that makes her heart beat faster]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Teen superstar Miley Cyrus certainly is a household name. The actress and successful singer has become a teen idol since landing the roles Miley Stewart and Hannah Montana in Disney’s ‘Hannah Montana’.</p>
<p>Her singing career has also seen her celebrate one success after another, after she not only released two highly popular albums, but was also critically acclaimed as a serious songwriter.</p>
<p>Celebrating her global superstardom, Miley wrote an autobiography to bring her closer to her fans. In the autobiography, titled ‘Miles To Go’, Miley,17, speaks openly about many facets of her life, including career, friendship and heartbreak. Miley also revealed she suffers from a heart condition.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.celebrities-with-diseases.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Miley-Cyrus.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-7600" title="Miley Cyrus" src="http://www.celebrities-with-diseases.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Miley-Cyrus-236x300.jpg" alt="" width="236" height="300" /></a>The heart condition is called tachycardia.</p>
<p>“The type of tachycardia I have isn’t dangerous,” <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2009/03/10/miley-cyrus-discloses-heart-condition-new-book/  " target="_blank">FOX News</a> quotes Miley as writing. “It won’t hurt me, but it does bother me. There is never a time onstage when I’m not thinking about my heart.”</p>
<p>Tachycardia can be defined as a rapid heart rate. The resting heart rate is higher than usual, namely up at about 100 beats per minute, <a href="http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=5698  " target="_blank">medterms.com</a> explains. Generally a mild form of this condition hardly requires treatment, if any at all.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Researchers have found out that prolonged use of headphones can lead to hearing impairment.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A recent study on adolescent girls published in <a href="http://www.physorg.com/news202485713.html">www.physorg.com</a>, says that personal listening devices and loud music through them can pose a risk to the hearing abilities of a person. Findings of the research have been published in the Journal of Adolescent Health. The study was done on 8,710 girls with an average age of 16 years by researchers at the Pace University, New York. The researchers noticed that over the years, the number of people with hearing loss has doubled. The use of personal music devices has increased four times from just 18.3% in 2001 to 76.4% in 2008. The number of cases of tinnitus being reported in girls too has increased three folds.</p>
<p>The report published in <a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/08/100831221525.htm">www.sciencedaily.com</a> also said that cases of impaired hearing were much more in girls who use personal music devices. The study took into account just one factor to find out hearing impairment in girls but there might be some other factors too that contribute to this problem. The research does present an association between hearing impairment and headphone use but these are not the only factors that affect hearing conditions. The researchers have advised people to limit the use of headphones and not to listen to too loud music as this overworks the ears.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The recent news of Celine Dion being in hospital due to pregnancy complications has been termed false in a report published in <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20417915,00.html">www.people.com</a>. She is expecting twins in November and is going through a healthy pregnancy.</p>
<p>A French tabloid recently reported that Celine was rushed to the hospital due to some complications in her pregnancy. Celine&#8217;s representatives have said that the news was fabricated, and that she has absolutely not been in hospital due to any problem. She is currently in her third trimester and is very healthily pregnant with her twin boys, and is feeling fantastic.</p>

<p>These are the final two months of her pregnancy and she has been strictly following the orders of her doctor to tread easily through the time. Her next show will take place in Caesars Palace next year when Celine returns to Las Vegas. Her doctors have advised her to take proper rest and be off her feet for most of the time so that her pregnancy goes off well.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Miley Cyrus may have had extensive work done on her teeth, but the star still claims she loves them crooked. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Grown up Miley Cyrus is experiencing her first taste of the pressures of Hollywood. But despite rumours that she has had work done on her teeth, the star claims she loves her crooked chops.</p>
<p>Cyrus’ teeth do not look like they did when she was 14. The Hannah Montana actress and singer is said to have had extensive cosmetic procedures, including whitening and altering the gums to make them less visible.</p>
<p>In 2008, she said &#8220;I’m really nervous for the surgery. But I’m sure it will go well. I can’t wait for my new smile. I love it already,&#8221; according to <a href="http://crushable.com/entertainment/miley-cyrus-to-get-smile-surgery/" target="_blank">Crushable</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.celebrities-with-diseases.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Miley_Cyrus_crop.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-7584" title="Miley Cyrus' teeth" src="http://www.celebrities-with-diseases.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Miley_Cyrus_crop-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a>The operation was expected to take 18 hours with approximately 2 weeks to heal. Since then, Miley has not stopped flashing those chops.</p>
<p>The extent of the work done is disputed. Star Magazine goes one step further, according to <a href="http://www.popcrunch.com/miley-cyrus-teeth-fake/" target="_blank">Popcrunch</a>, by suggesting that the 17-year-old’s new teeth may altogether not be her own.</p>
<p>Cyrus’ pearly whites allegedly popped out on the set of a photo shoot, according to an insider, who told Star Magazine: &#8220;Her eyeteeth &#8211; the pointy ones &#8211; are connected by a bridge, and they came out and hit the floor in front of her. Everyone froze.&#8221;</p>
<p>Did she make a mistake by having surgery? If so, she’s not one to admit it. Despite the cosmetically enhanced smile, Billy Ray Cyrus’ daughter claims she is a fan of natural beauty and even her ‘crooked’ teeth. Posing for <a href="http://www.elle.com/Pop-Culture/Cover-Shoots/Miley-Cyrus" target="_blank">Elle</a> magazine in July 2009, a very adult-looking Miley stated: &#8220;I like these crooked. I love my teeth.&#8221; Whether the further comment &#8220;my dad won’t let me fix my teeth or cut my hair&#8221; has anything to do with the matter, is another question.</p>
<p>Other celebrities who have had their teeth fixed include actors <a href="http://www.celebrities-with-diseases.com/celebrities/demi-moores-350000-beauty-job-223.html" target="_self">Demi Moore </a>and <a href="http://www.celebrities-with-diseases.com/celebrities/tom-cruise-was-conscious-about-his-bad-teeth-7497.html" target="_self">Tom Cruise</a>.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The actor, who was diagnosed with throat cancer just three weeks ago, has begun radiation and chemotherapy and says his chances are better than good, putting them at 80%.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Michael Douglas made a sovereign appearance on ‘The Late Show With David Letterman’ last night and spoke openly about his surprising and unexpected cancer diagnosis. Michael claims his throat has been bothering him all summer, but a myriad of doctors and tests brought negative results, until one doctor took a biopsy.</p>
<p>Diagnosed with <a href="http://www.celebrities-with-diseases.com/health-conditions/throat-cancer-403.html" target="_self">throat cancer</a> only three weeks ago, Michael has already complete one week of radiation and chemotherapy. Doctors reportedly found it was Stage 4 cancer, which Michael describes as “intense, and so they&#8217;ve had to go at it.”</p>
<p><a href="http://www.celebrities-with-diseases.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Michael-Douglas.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-7572" title="Michael Douglas" src="http://www.celebrities-with-diseases.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Michael-Douglas-205x300.jpg" alt="" width="148" height="216" /></a>Michael is set to undergo a strenuous 8 weeks of radiation and chemotherapy. And while he has a lot ahead of him, David Letterman was quick to compliment Michael on looking good.</p>
<p>&#8220;You&#8217;ve never looked better to me, and this proves that you&#8217;re a tough guy, for God&#8217;s sakes,&#8221; the <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/31/michael-douglas-talks-can_n_701434.html" target="_blank">Huffington Post</a> quotes David as saying.</p>
<p>Michael explained the prospects of him beating the disease are quite good.</p>
<p>&#8220;The percentages are very good,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I would hate to say, but right now, it looks like it should be 80%, and with certain hospitals and everything, it does improve.&#8221;</p>
<p>But like many cancer victims, Michael is scared it will spread. At the moment the cancer is still contained, and is located about the throat, which makes his prognosis so good.</p>
<p>Michael has also admitted his long-time drinking and smoking habits are possibly to blame for his cancer.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The larger than life pop star says she felt “inspired” when she taking cocaine, and admits to taking it occasionally.
]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>She is the new global superstar, and the creative artist behind party hits like ‘Alejandro’ and ‘Poker Face’. The 24-year-old New York native has really made a name for herself, and earned huge respect from colleagues, fans and the media.</p>
<p>Lady Gaga shocked fans and upset anti-drug bodies the world over when she admitted to taking cocaine as “inspiration”.</p>
<p>&#8220;[Using drugs] I really figured out the art I wanted to make and was inspired,&#8221; <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/27/lady-gaga-drugs-inspired-_n_696842.html  " target="_blank">The Huffington Post</a> quotes her as saying. &#8220;Some people find inspiration in dark places. I guess I&#8217;m one of them. What always made me different is that if I was doing drugs I was also making music. I wasn&#8217;t just doing drugs.&#8221;</p>
<p>However her cocaine use became so heavy it almost cost her her career, and caused her to confront her issues. In order to regain control of her life, she went home to stay with her 82-year-old grandmother.</p>
<p>“I cried,” she told <a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/online/daily/2010/08/lady-gaga-september-issue.html  " target="_blank">Vanity Fair</a> for the September issue. “I told her I thought my life was over and I have no hope and I’ve worked so hard, and I knew I was good. What would I do now? And she said, ‘I’m gonna let you cry for a few more hours. And then after those few hours are up, you’re gonna stop crying, you’re gonna pick yourself up, you’re gonna go back to New York, and you’re gonna kick some ass.’”</p>

<p>“I do not want my fans to ever emulate that or be that way,” she said. “I don’t want my fans to think they have to be that way to be great. It’s in the past. It was a low point, and it led to disaster.”</p>
<p>Now that she has picked up her life and is enjoying a stellar career and international superstardom, Lady Gaga has admitted to only consuming cocaine occasionally now.</p>
<p>“And when I say occasional, I mean maybe a couple of times a year.”</p>
<p>Now she is a serious artist with a serious career to manage.</p>
<p>&#8220;Once you open those doors they&#8217;re open for ever,” <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/celebritynews/7968834/Lady-Gaga-inspired-by-drugs.html  " target="_blank">Telegraph.co.uk</a> quotes her as saying. “People who say they need [drugs] to be creative are full of s***. I&#8217;m not some chick on the road getting high and f***** up every night. I wake up, drink coffee and get on the phone to talk about the creative direction of the next video.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Zsa Zsa Gabor has been taken back to hospital again, it is being reported. The 93-year-old actress and socialite was found “unresponsive” by her husband, Prince Frederic von Anhalt, who called 911.</p>
<p>“I just called an ambulance and she has to go back to UCLA [Medical Center],” Prince Frederic told <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2010/08/31/zsa-zsa-gabor-hospital-hospitalized-prince-freceric-von-anhalt-ucla/  " target="_blank">TMZ</a>.</p>
<p>This is Zsa Zsa’s third time in hospital recently. Her health took a turn for the worse when she fell out of bed in her Bel-Air home on July 17, breaking her hip. After undergoing hip surgery, she remained in hospital, only to undergo surgery again, this time for removing blood clots in her upper body.</p>

She has since been resting at home.</p>
<p>Zsa Zsa, who was left partially paralyzed after a car accident in 2002 and has also suffered a stroke, is labeled by many as the “original Paris Hilton”.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Study has revealed that over-the-counter Decongestant use during pregnancy can lower the risk of preterm birth.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a recent study scientists have claimed that decongestant use during pregnancy can lower the risk of preterm birth.  The study was conducted by a panel of researchers at the<strong> </strong>Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH).</p>
<p>According to <a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/08/100830131349.htm">www.sciencedaily.com</a>, expecting mothers who take over the counter decongestants during the second and third trimesters are at lesser risk of premature delivery by 58 percent, as compared to those who do not take the medication.</p>
<p>As reported by <a href="http://www.physorg.com/news202393272.html">www.physorg.com</a>, the research study also states that this revelation would help the researches to further delve and decode preterm birth.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.celebrities-with-diseases.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Nasal-spray.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-7558" title="Nasal spray" src="http://www.celebrities-with-diseases.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Nasal-spray.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="180" /></a>Speaking about the study, lead author Rohini Hernandez, who is also a doctoral candidate in epidemiology at BUSPH, stated that: &#8220;Medication use is a major concern for pregnant women and generally, when medications are found to have effects on the fetus, they&#8217;re usually found to have adverse effects.&#8221;</p>
<p>She added: &#8220;This was surprising in that a potentially beneficial effect was found. During the study, researchers analysed 3,271 deliveries in Massachusetts out of which 6 percent women delivered premature kids. It was found that out of these 6 % women who had preterm deliveries, 4.2 % women took decongestants whereas others did not.</p>
<p>The study appeared in the online journal Birth Defects Research Part A: Clinical and Molecular Teratology<em>.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>A recently conducted research study has claimed that older people are more prone to “destination Amnesia” as compared to their younger counter parts. According to <a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/08/100830152542.htm">www.sciencedaily.com</a>, destination Amnesia is mainly characterised by being under the impression that you have given a piece of information to the right person when it is actually otherwise. Scientists explain this condition by giving an example like telling your neighbour that you would need a ride to reach doctor’s office and believing that you have told your daughter.  This often leads to embarrassing situations.</p>
<p>As per <a href="http://www.physorg.com/news202400479.html">www.physorg.com</a>, the condition is caused due to over usage of attentional resources in giving the information without being concerned about whom the information is being given to for future recall.  During the research, scientists had conducted a destination memory accuracy test on a group of younger and older people which proved that elderly are more likely to become a prey to destination Amnesia than younger counterparts. In addition, lead investigator and cognitive scientist Dr. Nigel Gopie said &#8220;Older adults are additionally highly confident, compared to younger adults, that they have never told people particular things when they actually had,&#8221; He added &#8220;This over-confidence presumably causes older adults to repeat information to people.&#8221;  The research appeared in the online version of Psychology and Aging.</p>
