Timely Treatment Of Depression Lowers Risk Of Dementia: Study

Arpita SarkarOctober 19, 20220

An increased risk of dementia has long been associated with depression, and now a new study provides evidence that, in some patient populations, prompt treatment of depression can reduce the risk of dementia. More than 55 million people worldwide live with dementia, a disabling neurocognitive condition that predominantly affects older adults. There is no effective treatment for dementia but identifying ways to reduce or prevent dementia will help reduce the burden of the disease. The research appears to be led by Wei Cheng, PhD, Institute of Science and Technology for Brain-Inspired Intelligence, Fudan University, Shanghai, China, and Jin-Tai Yu, MD, PhD, Huashan Hospital, Shanghai Medical College, Fudan University. It appears in Biological Psychiatry. The study is published by E...

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...

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 ...

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

Indian Women Get Less Access To Heart Transplant Surgeries Than Men: Data

Arpita SarkarAugust 23, 20220

Women in India are deprived of many things just because of their gender. One of them, it would appear, would be equitable access to data from some prominent hospitals on life-saving surgeries. Data have been collected from hospitals for three major surgical specialities that come with significantly high costs for operation/rehabilitation — cardiothoracic, organ transplant, and orthopaedic surgery. Data showed that there is a significant gender skew in favor of men in two specialties: cardiothoracic and transplant surgery. This is even when, doctors say, the chances of a man or a woman needing this surgery are comparable. However, the numbers seemed a little less skewed as one moves south, with doctors claiming that the gender gap in surgery is a reflection of social realities,...

Alzheimer’s Disease Leads To Loss Of Visual Memory: Study

Arpita SarkarAugust 20, 20220

According to a new MIT study, Alzheimer's disease affects at least one type of visual memory by deteriorating a recently discovered circuit that connects the image processing areas of each brain hemisphere. The findings, published in the journal Neuron by a research team at The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory, come from experiments in mice, but provide a physiological and mechanistic basis for earlier observations in human patients: reductions in the level of brain rhythms between counterpart regions in each hemisphere correlate with the clinical severity of dementia. Author Chinnakkaruppan Adaikkan, assistant professor in the Centre for Brain Research at the IISc said, "We demonstrate that there is a functional circuit that can explain this phenomenon. In a way we uncovere...
