Humans also consider their heart to be the source of emotions that can aﬀect their mental and physical health, positively or detrimentally. It would not be overrated to say, then, that having a ‘heart of health’ is vital for all of us. To celebrate World Heart Day, on 29th September, the World Heart Federation has launched a campaign to raise awareness of heart health by asking the public at large to make a promise i.e. a promise to eat more healthily, to get more active, and to say no to smoking. This issue of Health Brings Wealth expands on that promise and oﬀers more relevant information to help you take good care of your heart and attain the promise you make for a ‘heart of health’. สิ่งมีชีวิตไม่ว่าจะมนุษย์หรือสัตว์ชนิดใด ล้วนแล้วแต่พึ่งพิงหัวใจในการท�าหน้าที่สูบฉีดเลือด ไปเลี้ยงส่วนต่างๆ ของร่างกายตลอดอายุขัย และส�าหรับคนเราแล้ว หัวใจยังเป็นบ่อเกิด ของความรู้สึกที่ส่งผลต่อสภาวะจิตใจและร่างกายได้อีกด้วย ดังนั้นจึงอาจกล่าวได้ว่า หัวใจ ที่แข็งแรง แข็งแกร่ง เป็นปัจจัยที่ส�าคัญยิ่งส�าหรับทุกคน เพื่อเฉลิมฉลองวันหัวใจโลก ซึ่งตรงกับวันที่ 29 กันยายน ทาง World Heart Federation ได้ออกแคมเปญใหม่ขึ้นเพื่อรณรงค์ให้สาธารณชนปรับเปลี่ยนพฤติกรรมที่อาจส่งผลกระทบ ต่อสุขภาพของหัวใจได้ โดยให้ตั้งค�ามั่นสัญญากับตัวเอง อาทิ จะรับประทานอาหารที่ดีต่อ สุขภาพมากขึ้น จะออกก�าลังกายมากขึ้น และจะเลิกสูบบุหรี่ เป็นต้น นิตยสาร Health Brings Wealth ในฉบับนี้จึงได้รังสรรค์บทความและข้อมูลต่างๆ เพื่อ ช่วยให้คุณผู้อ่านสามารถต่อยอดจากค�าสัญญากับตนเองเหล่านั้น เป็นการบูรณาการชีวิต ประจ�าวันเพื่อผลลัพธ์ที่ดีต่อสุขภาพของหัวใจ และสุขภาพองค์รวมของร่างกายในที่สุด DR.

Recognising this risk, a team at the University of California Los Angeles has launched a computer programme that’s able to predict heart failure. Trees of Predictors (ToPs) uses 53 data points to predict how long people with heart failure will live, either with or without a heart transplant. Using machine-learning, the algorithm was trained and tested on a huge database of patients; the more it learns, the more accurate it becomes. The team hopes that this approach would allow ToPs to provide personalised risk analyses for individual prospective recipients, rather than the one-size-ﬁts-all approach of previous machine-learning models. ตามรายงานขององค์กรอนามัยโลก อาการหัวใจ ล้มเหลวคิดเป็น 31% ของสาเหตุการตายของ ประชากรโลก ด้วยเล็งเห็นความเสี่ยงมากมาย ขนาดนี้ ทีมจาก UCLA จึงคิดค้นอัลกอริธึม ที่สามารถท�านายความเสี่ยงที่เกิดจากอาการ หัวใจล้มเหลวขึ้นมา โดยตั้งชื่อว่า Trees of Predictors (ToPs) ซึ่งใช้การเรียนรู้ผ่านฐาน ข้อมูลขนาดใหญ่ของผู้ป่วยโรคหัวใจ และใช้ ข้อมูล 53 อย่างเพื่อท�านายว่าผู้ป่วยแต่ละคน จะสามารถมีชีวิตอยู่ได้นานเท่าไหร่ ในกรณีที่ ไม่ท�าและท�าการปลูกถ่ายหัวใจ อัลกอริธึม ที่คิดค้นขึ้นมานี้เป็นการพัฒนาจากที่เคยมีอยู่ ตรงที่สามารถวิเคราะห์รายบุคคลได้ จากที่เมื่อก่อน เป็นระบบการวิเคราะห์แบบเหมารวม FIX BROKEN HEARTS WITH STEM CELLS Scientists in Japan now have oﬃcial permission to treat people suﬀering from heart disease with cutting-edge stem cell technology, which involves inducing pluripotent stem cells (IPSCs) that are derived from skin or blood cells and then transmogriﬁed back to their basic, precursor state. The Japanese health ministry gave medical practitioners the go-ahead to graft IPSC-generated tissues – each containing 100 million heart muscle cells – onto disease-riddled human hearts. Previous work on pigs healed their damaged heart tissue, but not through integration. Instead, they released chemicals that induced the growth and regeneration within the damaged cells. ญี่ปุ่นอนุญาตให้แพทย์ทดลองใช้สเต็มเซลล์ ในการรักษาผู้ป่วยโรคหัวใจได้แล้ว โดยกรณี ของการรักษาหัวใจ จะต้องใช้เซลล์ต้นก�าเนิด (IPSCs) ซึ่งได้มาจากเซลล์ผิวหนังหรือเลือด น�ามาดัดแปลงให้เข้าสู่สถานะเริ่มต้น แล้ว เอามาสร้างเป็นเนื้อเยื่อเพื่อปลูกถ่ายลงบน หัวใจของผู้ป่วยที่มีปัญหา ในการทดลอง ที่เคยท�ากับหมูพบว่าสเต็มเซลล์ดังกล่าว สามารถซ่อมแซมเนื้อเยื่อหัวใจที่เป็นโรค ได้จริง แต่ไม่ใช่ด้วยการผสานของเนื้อเยื่อ หากแต่เป็นการปล่อยสารเคมีบางอย่าง ที่ท�าให้เซลล์ที่เสียหายซ่อมแซมตัวเอง ให้กลับมาสมบูรณ์ได้อีกครั้ง/ ISSUE_18 15 On the coastal gem of Phu Quoc sits JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay, with its marvellous architecture and reﬁned touch of French colonial arts that have been curated by world-famous Bill Bensley. Combining recreation and a theme of education, this resort’s design narrates the ﬁctional story of Lamarck University, inspired by inﬂuential French naturalist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck. Bensley is careful to convey his messages, and takes guests on a journey ﬁlled by exquisite details. The vast resort area is separated into zones, each of which is named after an academic department, and are connected by Rue de Lamarck where Hoi An style shop- houses are lined up. All the 234 guestrooms, suites and villas look over the calming ocean and come with a balcony that is perfect to lounge on. The interior design is vibrant with the use of intense shades of reds, turquoise, blues and greens. Those are not the only colours of JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay. Pink Pearl is the ﬁnest French dining experience on this paradise island. It is named after Madame Pearl Collins, the second wife of Lamarck University’s ﬁrst Dean, who was well-known among Phu Quoc crowds for her impressive gifts in the arts and cuisine, and as a lady who threw terriﬁc parties. Her graceful Advertorial A DAZZLING TALE TO BE TOLD sprightliness is reﬂected all over the wondrous Pink Pearl. The two-storey beachfront mansion with elegant main dining hall and six private dining rooms will cast a magic spell on diners, as well as the exquisite cuisine served that is carefully crafted by Chef Amine Ouameur Lakhdari - who possesses over 10 years of experience in palace and Michelin-star restaurants in France. A wide selection of the ﬁnest French and New World wines augment the gustatory menu impeccably. A family-friendly resort, JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay provides a kids’ program featuring a range of fun activities for children, from creative arts to outdoor adventures, which would allow parents to take a relaxing break at the award- winning Chanterelle Spa by JW. If your family loves adventure you can go on an excursion together to enjoy deep-sea ﬁshing, snorkelling, diving, visiting local farms and also try the world’s longest cable car. The best time to visit this gleaming gem is deﬁnitely during summer. To entice guests further, JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay is oﬀering a “Family Summer in Paradise” package including accommodation in a King or Twin Room, breakfast for two adults, a “kids eat free” promotion (applicable only for two children aged under 12, accompanied by adults), complimentary kids’ program, and Phu Quoc Cable Car discounts.

Tucked away in Sukhumvit Road Soi 10, Chan & Yupa Tearoom is embraced by a green garden and natural décor which puts guests at ease immediately. As they proceed inside via the pebble lane, the white building ahead of them with a warm, yet classic British ambience hints that it oﬀers more than just tea and a place to sit down. Most of the tables are positioned along the transparent ceiling- to-ﬂoor wall, allowing guests to fully soak in the natural ambience. Chan & Yupa Tearoom 12 Sukhumvit 10, Klongtoey Nue, Wattana, Bangkok T. 0-2252-6601 Open daily from 7 a.m.-10.30 p.m. As this venue positions itself as a tearoom, their signature dish cannot be anything else but an Afternoon Tea Set! - featuring to-die-for Scones served with Fresh Cream Cheese and Homemade Strawberry Jam, Salmon Roll, Sandwich Croissant, Fruit Tart, Crème Brûlée, Macarons and other delicious bites. The set is served on ﬁne porcelain, and comes with soothing, aromatic tea. Apart from this tea set, Chan & Yupa Tearoom oﬀers diverse dishes in Thai-fusion, as well as western, style including an All-Day Breakfast that will surely keep a guest ﬁlled up for many hours. Remember not to miss the Eggs Benedict with Ham! For lunch or dinner we recommended to start either with Shrimp Canapé Roll, which is presented like Japanese sushi but has distinctly Thai ﬂavours, or Smoked Duck Breast Salad with its tangy orange sauce with fresh orange really complimenting smoked duck breast. Then, do not miss the Pork Spare Ribs Teriyaki that is cooked for 48 hours for perfect tenderness and ﬂavour, paired with fried mashed potato. Their homemade super-thin pizzas, loaded with toppings, are ordered frequently for a good reason! As for something Thai, the ﬂavoursome Fried Sea Bass with Green Mango Salad and Herbal Fried Rice will not let you down, nor the ever-popular Pad Thai. We fell in love with the unique Orange Mint Iced Tea with Aloe Vera, a great thirst-quencher of Thai tea, lemon syrup, aloe vera bits that is topped with orange and mint ice-cream. It’s simply perfect to cool down one’s spirits from a super sunny day! Apart from food and drinks, Chan & Yupa Tearoom oﬀers a long list of desserts to please those with a sweet tooth.
