In the cabin hiding dangerous infections

With the onset of the holiday season the number rises sharply willing to travel. However, the discovery of American physicians should be a warning to all who planned the trip. Experts have found that flying a plane can seriously undermine the health of the person, as this type of transport is crawling with agents of dangerous diseases.

cabin

  Microbiologists have come to the conclusion that the aircraft is no type of transport is contaminated by bacteria, and is in his cabin, a man greatly runs the risk of contracting any infection.
 
  Researchers from the University of Auburn, Alabama, decided to check the extent to which not sterile surfaces inside the cabin. AT as used metal surfaces, plastic, various fabrics, imitating the surface of the cabin. It turned out that some of them Dangerous pathogens can be a very long time.
 
  Thus, it appears that the material seat back pocket - it's just a paradise for Staphylococcus aureus: on the surface of its originators were active up to 168 hours. Another dangerous place steel armrests: their tissue bacteria are kept up to 96 hours. According to scientists, they are unpleasantly surprised how It turned out to be a long residence time of bacteria in the environment. "Sometimes rather indirect contact with the infectious agent, to catch "- biologists say the risk of infection.
 

  Experts believe that the need for a thorough disinfection of the cabin as the only way to reduce the epidemic danger of flying into them. Travellers are, in turn, urged doctors advised to remember the careful hygiene during flights. (READ MORE)

Hip prosthesis cause cancer

All-metal hip implants should no longer be used in surgery, as stated by British surgeons. There is evidence that these implants are associated not only with pain and poisoning, and cancer.

The British Society of Doctors for transplanting prosthetic hip joints , Concerned about the high number of marriages among the all-metal implants. Members of the public believe that these implants should no longer be used. Currently in the UK 49,000 people are large   Hip Prosthesis Made entirely of metal.

Representatives of the public health system has recently said that to get the data of large-diameter implants, patients should regularly donate blood and go through an MRI scan to check the status Divays. Some time ago, published a study that showed that large Hip Prosthesis   with prolonged use, result in the ingress of miniparticles metal into the bloodstream and the surrounding tissue.

And experts from Bristol found abnormal cells in the blood of patients with these endoprosthesis, which can cause the development of tumors. At risk are all the people who were established from a single metal prosthesis with a diameter greater than 36 mm. Prostheses smaller diameter harmless.

According to the president of the British Orthopaedic Association Professor Joe Diaz, about 5, 5% of large metal implants need to be replaced after five years. As for the prosthesis made of metal with plastic, then change over the same period would require only 2% of devices.

A decoction of parsley and celery crunch eliminates the joints

Often crunch in joints associated with their increased mobility

With age, I began to notice that began to crackle joints.

Doctors closer to unraveling the genetic schizophrenia

American scientists We discovered a gene responsible for the development shizofenii. This is an important scientific discovery It was made by the research team at Johns Hopkins University (USA).

causes of schizophrenia

  Schizophrenia - one of the most trudnoizlechivaemyh and common mental disorders. It was known that schizophrenia has a genetic predisposition, but scientists have only recently began to discover genes "directly" responsible for the development of the heavy blemish. One such mechanism triggering schizophrenia proved gene coding for protein production CYFIP1. This gene is contained in a portion of chromosome 15q11.2.
 
  This gene was detected as follows: the researchers took skin cells in people with schizophrenia, and using special technology converted them into stem cells. This "evolution" cells did not end - they already stem by special enzymes converted into neurons, similar grown in vitro. As a result, It revealed that neurons in violation in the area of ​​chromosome 15q11.2 formed with lots of violations similar to those observed in the brains of schizophrenics.
 
  That gene is found - the one the main suspect - was indirectly confirmed in experiments laboratory mice. Beast artificially reduced production of protein and CYFIP1 They observe their behavior. It turned out that the shortage CYFIP1 mice observed irregularities in the structure of the cerebral cortex and functioning neurons - and these violations were also similar to those recorded at the people suffering from schizophrenia.
 
  Experts believe that this a big step in the process of understanding the mechanisms of schizophrenia and the search for its effective treatment. (READ MORE)
