Setting A Sleep Schedule Helps Teens Get More Sleep: Study

Arpita SarkarOctober 10, 20220

According to the National Sleep Foundation and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, most teens get less than eight, especially on school nights, even though they need eight to 10 hours of sleep per night to maintain physical health, mental well-being and school performance. Stephanie J. Crowley, PhD, associate professor of psychiatry and behavioural sciences and the director of the Pediatric Chronobiology and Sleep Research Program at RUSH said, "There are a lot of changes a teen goes through. One specifically is a change to sleep biology that happens during puberty.” Crowley further added, "The brain systems that control sleep change in such a way that it’s easier for an adolescent to stay awake later into the evening. One of these systems — the 24-hour circadian clock — shif

Arpita SarkarOctober 7, 20220

According to a recent estimate, primary liver cancer was one of the top three causes of cancer death in 46 countries in 2020, and by 2040, the number of primary liver cancer diagnoses and deaths may increase by more than 55% annually. In a recent article in the Elsevier-published Journal of Hepatology, researchers contend that disease control measures should be prioritized. Isabelle Soerjomataram, MD, PhD, International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC/WHO), Cancer Surveillance Branch, Lyon, France, said, "Liver cancer generates a large burden of disease globally each year." Major risk factors for this disease include hepatitis B and C viruses, alcohol use, excess body weight, and metabolic diseases including type 2 diabetes. It is completely preventable if control efforts are...

Study Shows Babies In Womb React To Type Of Food Mothers Eat; Check Out Pictures!

Arpita SarkarSeptember 23, 20220

Pregnant women have to be very careful about food after giving birth. There are various restrictions on what to eat and what not to eat. Sometimes I want to eat sweets in the middle of the night, sometimes raw mangoes. Pregnant women jokingly say that it is not theirs, but actually, the child's desire for food has arisen. But the question is whether they understand the taste of food. A recent study found that if the mother eats carrots while the baby is in the womb, then the child smiles, and if the mother eats vegetables, the baby frowns. A new study of nearly 100 pregnant women and their fetuses in England was published Wednesday in the journal Sage. In the study, mothers were fed capsules made of leafy greens and carrot powder. In the study, 35 pregnant women were given 1 medi...

Susceptible Women With Healthy Lifestyle Have Lower Risk Of Developing Diabetes: Study

Arpita SarkarSeptember 22, 20220

According to a study, women with a history of gestational diabetes can still reduce their chances of developing type 2 diabetes by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as eating well, exercising frequently, quitting smoking, and not being overweight. The results showed that women who adhered to five key lifestyle factors - a healthy weight, high-quality diet, regular physical activity, moderate alcohol consumption, and not smoking - had a 90% lower risk of the disease than women who did not adhere. Those who are overweight are at high genetic risk for type 2 diabetes. It is known that a healthy lifestyle is associated with a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes in a healthy middle-aged population. To optimal levels of five modifiable risk factors, researchers evaluated the assoc

Gas Stoves Contribute Significantly To Indoor Air Pollution: Research

Arpita SarkarSeptember 17, 20220

From countertop slow cookers to instant-read thermometers, cooks love their gadgets. The interest is growing in magnetic induction cooktops – surfaces that cook much faster than conventional stoves, without lighting a fire or heating an electric coil. Induction has long been popular in Europe and Asia. It is more energy-efficient than standard stoves. But studies have raised concerns about indoor air emissions from gas stoves. Academic researchers and organizations such as the California Air Resources Board report that gas stoves can release hazardous air pollutants while they are operating and even when they are turned off. As an environmental health researcher who works on housing and indoor air, I have participated in studies that measure air pollution in homes and develop ...

Smartphones Fluctuate Hormone Levels, Raises Risk Of Premature Puberty: Study

Arpita SarkarSeptember 17, 20220

The results of a rat study, presented at the 60th annual European Society for Pediatric Endocrinology meeting recently, suggest that regular exposure to blue light from tablets and smartphones may affect hormone levels and increase the risk of precocious puberty. A longer period of exposure to blue light was associated with an earlier onset of puberty in female mice, who also exhibited decreased levels of melatonin, higher levels of various reproductive hormones, and physical changes in their ovaries. The use of mobile devices that emit blue light is already associated with disturbed sleep patterns in children, but the current findings suggest that there may be additional dangers to fetal development and future fertility. The increasing use of devices that produce blue light, such as

Respiratory Infections Cause Extreme Stress To Cells, Organs: Study

Arpita SarkarSeptember 7, 20220

Respiratory infections like influenza or COVID-19, cause stress on cells and organs. They result in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It can eventually lead to death in the elderly or fragile people. Professor Johan Auwerx at EPFL’s School of Life Sciences said, "Novel therapeutic strategies to address ARDS, instead of fighting the infectious agent, could try to elicit the tolerance of the host organism towards the inflammatory challenge by boosting its natural adaptive stress responses." In a new study, EPFL's Adrien Mottis and his colleagues show that such a strategy can exploit a biological phenomenon known as "mitohormesis". Mitohormesis describes the fact that mild stress on a cell's mitochondria can trigger a number of reactions that actually increase cell health and

Therapeutic Drug Can Render Cancer Cells: Study

Arpita SarkarAugust 26, 20220

The protective scent that many tumour cells spray themselves with suppresses the immune system. However, it appears that a drug that is already approved for other uses can neutralize this weapon. A study from the University of Bonn and the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf published in the Journal for Immunotherapy of Cancer proves this. The researchers said, "The substance will now be further optimized. This could eventually lead to the development of anti-cancer drugs." Many cancer cells have dense clouds of adenosine around them. The chemicals suppress the immune system. Feeding it promotes the growth of new blood vessels. It hydrates the tumour. This additionally ensures that cancer cells spread to other organs. They develop metastases there. Adenosine triphosphate is u
