Recipe porn: to whom the doctor prescribed?

Australian scientists have stood up for pornography ...

On the Green continent a group of experts led by psychology professor Alan McKee recently completed a curious study on the "strawberries". Interest in it among researchers is not idle. The fact that in recent years considerably increased the demand for porn movies   and the rest of spicy products, and at the expense of ordinary people, not what some perverts. Experts have tried to analyze the situation.

Actually, the story of the "strawberry" a very difficult and confusing. To begin with the fact that until now there is no single definition and arrange all that is " pornography ". Experts argue themselves hoarse, serious passions boil, and it is not moving. So Australian researchers have noticed that when it comes to pornography, people immediately included emotions, and scientific reasoning in this case - zero. And the arguments of those same fighters for morality sounds like this: " Pornography   It has no right to exist because it can not have such a right never. "

Meanwhile, according to a study by Professor Alan McKee, 90 percent of its respondents regularly review porn movies We demonstrated a very strong mentality. All of them was marked by healthy sleep, showed no signs of aggression or unfriendly. In addition, these people have had a very low propensity to depression, which in these times, great value. Professor Sam thinks that it is because pornography does not allow a person to be selfish, and teaches us to think about the pleasure partner. And in her characters look quite earth: for women, for example, you can see the cellulite on the entire screen and the man is not always up to par. And for those who watching porn , There is no complex about their own form and appearance can not be said about ordinary cinema.

Alan McKee in any case does not call people to drop everything and immediately start watch porn . He only advises weigh the "pros" and "cons", then to make a choice.

Pros:

Porn teaches

  Of course, not as a textbook on the native language, but still. Where, if not from pornography, you can see what people look like during an orgasm? And here you are, at any time be able to make sure that people at a time - it's ... yeah, actually, nothing special. Scientifically proven: the audience, regularly consume "strawberry", refers to sex is much quieter than those with solid circle taboo.

Supports ...

  Whatever was said, and erotic loneliness - it's not funny. That is quite a typical situation:   regular sexual partner   there is no money for professional love is not enough, and the nature of their demands. What to do? That's just it.

Makes a variety of ...

  Which, by the way, nowhere expressly taught. But we must learn. There are, of course, such as the publication of the Kama Sutra, but to use their recommendations may only yoga. For everyone else, there is only one solution - to explore the "strawberry" magazines, movies and pictures.

Against:

addictive

  However, like all pleasant. If within one year hard otsmatrivat all releases of pornographic materials, you can finally stop interest in their surroundings.

Things to think about

The vast majority of consumers of pornography - men. Many women are given circumstance, to say the least, frustrating. Imagine, in the intimate life is wonderful, and suddenly - accidentally found "strawberry". It's a shame!

However, sexologists claim that nothing dangerous in that there is no enthusiasm. Viewing pornography for a normal man - an acceptable, affordable way to detente and distraction from everyday situations. In part - a tribute to the polygamous nature of male sexuality. Female libido, for example, only benefits if there regular sexual partner . A man for the thrill is necessary to change partners. Pornography gives him such a need.

But if we are talking about a very rough and brutal sex, rape in real video format, it is an occasion to take a closer look at their owner.

It also happens that men are only interested in "narrow profile" porn - a fixation on one thing (eg, exaggerated big bust). Crime in this. But it is quite possible that the reason for this choice is a deep set of psychological or sexual nature. Over time, it can worsen and spoil the life of its owner. For example, it will cease to excite women with normal sized breasts.

If some of the experts in dentistry are trying to attract public attention to the problem of cheap and dangerous Chinese X-ray machines Others gladly buy them. For example, one clinic in the UK has already acquired a similar setup, and a number of others expressed a desire to do so. Dentists attracted by the opportunity to save considerably. One can only imagine the number of such devices in Russia, which, as you know, is much closer to China than Britain.

X-ray machines   Tianjie Dental Falcon and sold through the Internet site eBay, where the cost is only $ 350 something. This is more than twenty times cheaper than $ 7000, which will have to pay in a minimum for the safe model. It is natural to many practicing dentists are tempted to save huge amount of money. The device is manufactured by Zhengzhou Tianjie Electronic Equipment Co.

Representatives of regulating the medical branch of the United Kingdom stated that all dentists who have purchased this unit are required to enter into contact with them. The unit is not approved for use in the country, it is not safe for patients and physicians. The authorities have already seized 13 such machines from the distributor, and is now trying to negotiate with eBay withdrawing their bid.

Whitening toothpaste does not bleach!

Whitening toothpastes are probably a waste of your money. They promise a Hollywood smile, but in fact after the use of these products can not see any effect, as the journalists have found British newspaper Daily Mail.

In Russia, the popularity of whitening toothpastes   It is constantly growing, because they are supposed considerably cheaper alternative to the classic bleaching in the dentist's office. Already 40% of adults express concern about the lack of snow-white smile. And most can not afford to pay a dentist, but to buy toothpaste (a little more expensive than usual) they may afford.

In Britain, this difference is more pronounced - whitening toothpaste here are, on average, 300% more expensive than traditional, though still inferior to the price of professional whitening. For example, ordinary toothpaste Aquafresh Fresh & Minty will cost 1 pound, and bleaching ISO-Active Whitening already in 3, 7 lbs. Journalists from the Daily Mail took a sample six of the most popular varieties whitening toothpastes   and subjected them to a thorough check.

Advertising promises that the pasta will make teeth whiter three colors, or "money back". However, clinical studies carried out by the manufacturer, indicates that only 39% of people meet the end result, and 43% did not observed "no improvement" in the use of the paste. Journalists recruited several women who regularly used different bleaching pastes. Invited as an expert dentist assessed whiteness of their teeth.

One month after the start of the experiment, none of the women had no noticeable discoloration of teeth, sufficient to be marked on a color scale expert. But manufacturers, which asked for explanations, journalists, researchers amicably accused of incompetence. Ostensibly observations were made in the "uncontrolled environment", and with the minimum of participants (one woman on each pasta). Therefore, they can not be called honest. (READ MORE)

The teeth will be healthier in 5 years

That's how much time it takes developers to artificial tooth enamel in order to release it to the world market. Japanese researchers from Kinki University have created a thin film, which protects the teeth from caries, removes them from the increased sensitivity and even whiten.

The thickness of the film - 0, 04 mm. It is completely invisible to the eye and is not perceptible in the mouth. The coating is not necessary to clean - coating does not stick to it, even during meals.

Artificial tooth enamel   made of natural material - hydroxyapatite (basic mineral contained in the enamel). It is abrasion-resistant and ultragibkoy. Due microporous air permeable saliva and teeth coated film can breathe. The only drawback of the invention -Duration process of fixing (the film is attached to a tooth during the day, and all the while the patient is forced to go hungry). However, the Japanese had promised to eliminate this deficiency.
At the moment, the scientists, led by Professor Shigeki Hontsu test their know-how on human extracted teeth. The next step - testing on animals. According to experts, synthetic enamel will be available in about 5 years. Information on the estimated cost of dental coverage is not reported.

For reference:
Superfine dental film is formed under the influence of laser hydroxyapatite compressed, placed in a vacuum chamber. As a result of the mineral sputtered individual microparticles, which are deposited on the salt crystals. Subsequently, the salt was dissolved in water and the solution was passed through filter paper.

Fears of an old woman for 6 years

Science has proven why it is important to remain calm. It turns out that women with various phobias accelerating the process of cell damage associated with aging.

Researchers from Boston Hospital Brigham and Women's in the United States found that anxiety and fears accelerate our natural aging   by as much as six years. Because phobias in the body is rapid destruction of the cells, which leads to the aging process higher intensity.

So in older women with unexplained fear of heights or crowds have shorter telomeres than their peers calm. Telomeres this end regions of chromosomes that protect our genetic material from damage. That telomeres are considered markers of biological cell aging . Shortened telomeres are associated with an increased risk of cancer, heart disease, dementia and premature death.

American scientists took blood samples from more than 5000 women aged 42 to 69 years. They were also asked to complete a questionnaire, which gave an idea of ​​any possible phobias. It was found that the higher the level of anxiety and fear in women, the shorter the telomeres in their body.

Reducing the length of telomeres in women experiencing high levels of anxiety, compared with their peers calm, it was tantamount to life the interval of six years. Thus, worries and fears shorten our lives by as much as six years. This is the first scientific study which shows up with the arithmetic harmful effects of stress on the human body. And we are talking about life expectancy, but not the risk of serious diseases that can break it at any moment.

Created sleeping pills without side effects

For market prepared sleeping pills whose manufacturers promise the absence of any side effects. Moreover, these drugs will treat the cause of insomnia, rather than the consequence.

Tablets DORA-22 has been successfully tested on animals. According to the creators of the drug is hypnotic   allow people to sleep soundly at night, waking up fresh and sleep, not broken, and hating the world. Tablets called "without sedative side effects" because of their principle of operation different from the operation of other similar drugs.

Most conventional hypnotics   focused on brain neurotransmitter GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) that causes drowsiness, and DORA-22 (working title, which will soon be replaced by a more sonorous) affects the neuropeptide orexin, which does not allow us to sleep. The drug reduces the activity of orexin, and people gradually put to sleep in a natural way, as if it happened without any drug intervention. The usual pills artificially induce sleep, like surgical anesthesia.

In laboratory tests DORA-22 treated rats slept longer than those rodents, who were given placebo. The next stage tests showed that sleeping pills do not cause problems with memory, were observed in rats treated with Valium or other modern pills against insomnia. These issues were the monkeys who were given conventional sleeping pills, but DORA-22 in their memory is not affected, nor slowed reaction rate even at very high doses.

So far, the drug is still going through a phase of laboratory tests and tests on animals, and its entry into the market is possible only after pill tested on humans. Some experts, however, believe that the creators of DORA-22 must pay attention to other side effects, not on memory and reaction. For example, it is known that exposure of orexin can increase appetite. (READ MORE)

Older HIV drugs treat blindness

HIV medicines previous generation can be effective in treating people who have lost view. This conclusion was American scientists.

Macular degeneration

In the journal Science published a study showing that drugs from the group of nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) may be effective in treating blindness, as well as some other disorders. This group of drugs used for the treatment of previously patients with HIV infection, but then they were replaced by drugs included of combination antiretroviral therapy.

American scientist Jerome Horwitz He opened a chemical known as AZT, in 1964. He believed that his can be used to treat cancer, but clinical studies have not confirmed this theory. As a result of the medication you forget for a couple of decades. However, 1980 again began to be widely used as a means of HIV / AIDS. Since then, it has helped save millions of lives.

Currently, AZT and incoming its components received third birth as a treatment age-related macular degeneration of the retina (AMD) is the most common cause of vision loss in the elderly. In this disease supporting retina cells are destroyed, which causes blindness. Yet In 2011, scientists discovered that one of the causes of death of these cells is the accumulation of toxic molecules, extracted from "junk" DNA.

These "junk" DNA, known as Alu, born at the time of the disappearance of dinosaurs from our planet. Since Alu reproduce in our bodies over a million copies, so that Now they account for 11% of the mass of human DNA.

AZT and other drugs from the NRTI blocks lifecycle Alu. Achieving this effect in HIV-infected patients, of course, is a therapeutic effect. Scientists decided NRTI used to block Alu-repeats in the eyes of mice with Symptoms of AMD. They found that the NRTI prevents cell death in mice.

Moreover, these drugs have proven effective even without successful blocking Alu-repeats. Thus, from the category NRTI drugs may be used to treat dry macular degeneration . Fortunately, most of the negative side effects NRTI can now be avoided by using a specific dosage and selection new components with increased safety. (READ MORE)

Russian scientists have created a unique vaccine against tick-borne encephalitis

The drug, developed by scientists from the Maritime Territory, created from the individual antigens, rather than whole virus - analogs such drug in the world. To create a vaccine developers We used the extract of seaweed, and its animal tests given very good results.

  The authors of a unique development became a Fellow of the Department of Biochemistry, Microbiology and Biotechnology School of Natural Sciences FEFU. In addition to the extract of sea algae involved in the recipe drug against tick-borne encephalitis . Scientists also used the bioactive components of sea cucumber - marine animal the family of echinoderms. Among the medicinal properties of sea cucumber - the ability to strengthen the immune system, normalize the endocrine system to resist the appearance of neoplasms in the body.
 
  In their studies, Vaccine developers have set the task to create an effective immune-stimulating complex biokomponetov able to deal with a dangerous virus, but not toxic to organism. Such components as researchers found could be cholesterol, lipids, saponins.

"Cholesterol We left unchanged, phospholipids, glycolipids replaced by that isolated from marine algae, and saponins isolated from sea cucumber "- said Leading Specialist Andrew Mazeyka.

As the expert explained, vaccine against tick-borne encephalitis   long-developed in the world laboratories. However, they all are based on whole virus. The same case, experts decided to use genetic engineering techniques to create from individual antigens structure (adjuvant) which would be similar in structure virus and imitated infectious agents - such innovation quite unique.

There was a nasal spray against snoring

In the UK, went on sale nasal spray, which can put an end to such a sensitive issue as snoring. However, clinical studies have not shown impressive results.

A new cure for snoring   - Spray Asonor works by strengthening the muscles of the back wall of the throat. As is known, snoring is caused by vibration of the soft tissues of the upper respiratory tract. When we lie down, then these paths are narrowed, which causes a characteristic "suction" effect, which in turn leads to tissue vibration and snoring during breaths.

With age, this problem becomes more serious as the muscles surrounding the air passages, some sag. In addition, one of the major factors contributing to snoring is excess weight.

Spray is Asonor cure for snoring Comprising three ingredients - polyglycol, potassium sorbate and sodium chloride. They strengthen the muscles around the throat that allows you to expand the number of air flow during sleep. Furthermore, the new lubricant spray has an impact on the back of the throat, and it also prevents vibration of soft tissue.

In theory, everything is great, but the practical use of a spray is not so obvious. Clinical trials have turned what is called mixed. In Denmark, of 218 men, after six months of observation spray continued to use approximately 60%. A new study involving 50 people, half of whom received the spray, and the other half a placebo, was less convincing. Advantages agents have not been confirmed by the majority of participants.

However, all this were not too large for the number of new studies cure for snoring . It remains to wait for the mass buyer reviews.

5 reasons to wear sunglasses

Sunglasses are still perceived as a fashion accessory, and meanwhile, their importance to the health of the eye is much more important.

Our eyes are very sensitive to external stimuli, and on fine sunny days they have very difficult without additional protection. And it provides a   sunglasses . They protect the eyes from the most serious and dangerous stimulus - ultraviolet rays, the activity of which is now, in the spring, growing day by day. Ultraviolet in large doses can cause burns of the retina, damage the cornea and lead to early blindness .

But prevention Blindness   - Is not the only feature points. Sunlight makes us involuntarily squint so manifest an ancient protective instinct. The habit of squinting is absorbed quickly and permanently, and in addition to lead to trouble wrinkles . Points make it easy to load and eyes at the same time protect the skin from wrinkles . In addition, they save a person from other possible signs of photo-aging caused by the sun - pigmentation, premature aging.

Wearing winter and / or summer?

There are two points of view wear Sunglasses And each podkrepyaletsya research and conclusions.

And in the winter, too.   Some experts believe that the intensity of sunlight during the cold remains high. Snow absorbs dust in the air, whereas it dilutes the dust particles scatter ultraviolet light, making them less hazardous. Thus ultraviolet light becomes more intense, and wear sunglasses in winter it is necessary.

Only when the light! According to other researchers, if you wear sunglasses in winter and summer, it may be photophobia - fear of light, in which even quite normal lighting causes discomfort and pain in the eyes. Therefore, sunglasses unnecessarily is not necessary. Eyes should be accustomed to the light, because nature itself has provided defenses to the eye. And do not wear dark glasses in public transport, in the evening or on cloudy days, as the soft rays of the sun are necessary to our eyes. If a cloudy day to restrict access of daylight to the eyes, the pupils are constantly expanding, and this can lead to violations of the work, and then, after 40 years, and glaucoma.

How to choose glasses

1. Look for sunglasses with a sticker on the lens "UV-PROTECTION" - it confirms the existence of an absolute eye protection.

2. Another sticker on the lenses of sunglasses communicate the contents of percent passing light. Typically, it ranges from 15% to 60%. The higher the percentage, the glass is lighter. The most optimal for wearing glasses with a pass of light 30-40% - very dark eyes Stelka forced overwork. Too bad light protect eyes from sun exposure.

3. The sports models for skiing anti-reflective coating that absorbs glare - "sunbeams" appearing on the lenses. Some manufacturers use it and the classic sunglasses.

4. Another nuance - multicoating. It provides maximum protection of glass complex.

5. If you have problems with your vision, you can choose sunglasses with diopters. They are made to order: you choose a frame and lens to it you made your recipe.

6. On the inexpensive models bow attached cogs or rivets. Rivets preferable - cogs in time is bumped. In luxury frames shackle attached fleksovymi hinges. The fastening is easy to recognize: the bow slightly bend in opposite directions when they are at the other anchorages and locked tightly folded in only one direction. Fixing fleksovymi hinges makes wearing glasses comfortable: bow not drag behind the ears.

Eyewear - Sunglasses "cat's eye"

Fashion for retro optics has resulted in what is now fashionable glasses   - It points to the extended areas. Popularity points "cat's eye"   It is rapidly gaining momentum, this spring a similar frame - a real hit.

The changes in the tissues of the brain neurons are damaged and cellular degeneration of fibers; as a result of signals between cells - weakened. And that's it antioxidants are thought by some scholars to be an effective means of suspending the process of neurodegeneration.

In any case, observed that in humans suffering from "Alzheimer's", a pronounced lack of coenzyme Q10 and lycopene. A healthy participants at the level of vitamin C, beta-carotene, vitamin E and other antioxidants are generally much higher.

Scientists have published the announcement of a more detailed study depending seen, however, now many say that vitamins are a lot of chances to gain recognition as an effective means of protection against   senile dementia . According to experts, to confirm the data requires additional large-scale study.
