The obesity epidemic has caused plastic

The obesity epidemic is largely accelerated by the chemicals used in toys and cans. Scientists also believe that these chemicals are guilty and increased incidence of diabetes.

Chemicals in mobile phones, plastic bottles, cans, toys and sunglasses can make a major contribution to the obesity epidemic . This is stated in the report of the Spanish and South Korean researchers, commissioned by the non-profit society CHEM Trust, whose members are trying to find out the truth about the impact of household chemicals on human health.

Researchers reviewed more than 240 studies on the Obesity Epidemic , Pollution and Type 2 diabetes . It was found that there are direct evidence of weight gain in the animals exposed to the chemicals. The evidence about the harmful effects of chemicals on human limited. But just because ethically conduct such an experiment is almost impossible. It is difficult to select a group of volunteers, which must then be deliberately exposed to chemicals, to learn, do not get sick if someone with diabetes.

However, due to household chemicals and Type 2 diabetes   first began 15 years ago. The scope and seriousness of the evidence most notably increased since 2006. It was found that in a group at particular risk are pregnant women and those who are just planning to have children.

Many of the chemicals in the human body is repeated action of sex hormones, because of what Western scholars even call them 'cause sex bias "(gender-bending). Certain hormones control appetite, while others affect the fat reserves.

Tuberculosis began to hurt less, but it has become more difficult to treat

According to preliminary data FPHI at the end of last year in Russia were registered 211 9000 TB patients. Compared with 2009, when the country registered a 262, 7 thousand infected, the situation straightened a little. However, patients with multidrug-resistant (MDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis to the contrary, has increased: 34,778 in 2013 against 34,838 in 2012.

Diagnosis of tuberculosis

Statistics of tuberculosis in Russia is comparable with the data of the WHO. Over the past few years, hurt in the EU have become less, on average, by 5% per year. However, the situation with drug resistance abroad is not better - cure rates in these patients is also quite low.

If the level of MDR-TB to the pathogen population is very high, experts WHO Urges States to develop national programs to detect and treat patients where conventional therapy is not valid.

"We need to focus on early diagnosis of this disease, which use modern techniques and equipment. Only in this way will prevent the emergence of drug-resistant mycobacteria with wide or multi-drug resistant ", - said Chief Freelance phthisiatrician Health Ministry Irina Vasilyeva.

Before the advent of the method diagnosis of tuberculosis   using liquid media treatment is often prescribed to patients without test results (before the laboratory findings received a doctor), so the therapeutic regimen does not always imply the impact of a particular mycobacteria - the causative agent of tuberculosis.

Back in 2007, the World Health Organization called the technique of liquid media "standard of care" in the diagnosis of tuberculosis. In late October, the 2013th The Russian government adopted a decree on financial support measures aimed at prevention and treatment of this disease, which means at medical facilities will have a real opportunity to improve the diagnostic tool. It is expected that after the adoption of the recommendations of the Federal clinical diagnosis for liquid media will become mandatory in the allocation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the choice of therapeutic regimen. "According to our data, the method of diagnosis of tuberculosis in liquid media allows you to put an accurate diagnosis more quickly than with conventional microbiological tests," - says CEO of BD in Russia and the CIS Elena Chirkov.

And the abundance of carbohydrates in the diet not only adds extra pounds, but also reduces sexual desire. Carbohydrates in white bread fattening and deprive us of necessary energy for an active life, including sex. Also, the prevalence of carbohydrate foods over time leads to a decrease in production of sex hormones in men. Testosterone is necessary proteins!

A blood test will show how to live

A simple blood test can predict how long a person will live in this world. Such a conclusion was made by researchers from the University of East Anglia.

Scientists have managed to carry out a successful measurement of the speed of aging of wild birds, which opens the possibility to implement the same thing to people. Thus, very soon will be available science test to look at the "biological clock" of man, the most accurate way predicted lifespan   (excluding the possibility of severe disease).

The blood test measures the average length of tiny structures called telomeres at (the end portions of chromosomes), which shorten every time a cell passes through a period of division. Telomere length allows you to find real ("biological"), a person's age, which is usually different from the passport.

And if a person does not die from cancer or other ailments, but from natural causes, caused by aging, measurement of telomere length is just helps determine how much someone is living. These blood already fairly widely used as part of the experiments on animals. However, one company in England offers those people to take the test for 400 pounds to measure the length of telomeres, which will likely lifespan   customer.

"We found that telomere length is a more accurate indicator of life expectancy than chronological age, - said study author Dr. David Richardson. - Thus, by measuring the length, we estimate the biological age and see what we have left. The higher the score, the longer destined to live someone else. "

According to the researchers, based on the analysis of any one of 22 metabolites could be judge the rate of aging   human. And in the near future, scientists have developed a blood test that will allow to receive the information.

"Since all 22 metabolite associated with aging , Definable in the blood, we can predict the real age of a person by a blood test with a high degree of accuracy, - says study author Dr. Ana Valdes. - In the near future we will be able, under the same analysis to determine the future rate of biological aging man. "

Specific metabolite, which scientists say is associated with such characteristics of an organism as the functioning of the lungs and bone density, as well as birth weight, which is already found science also affects   the rate of aging . It is known that children born underweight are more likely victims of diseases associated with aging.

According to scientists, the level of this metabolite can determine a child in the womb. These findings were made on the basis of blood samples taken from 6,000 twins.

E-cigarette helps people quit smoking

The electronic cigarette or e-cigarette is a nonflammable substitute for traditional cigarettes in the form of a rod having a greater length than a normal cigarette.

These work by battery device does not contain tobacco, but gives the user the dose of nicotine in the form of vapor, very similar smoke. The electronic cigarette uses a battery heater is activated which vaporizes the liquid nicotine and aroma fills it out
small cartridge.

Available in many countries, these non-combustible smoking device that contain cartridges filled with nicotine, are marketed as a way to quit smoking.

A new study by researchers at Boston University shows that electronic cigarettes are an effective means of helping smokers in their fight against the harmful habit.

To find out whether the electronic cigar safer choice, Professor Michael Siegel and his colleagues two weeks, 5,000 people were interviewed for the first time bought the electronic cigarette company Blu.

Approximately 222 people, or 4, 5 percent of participating in the survey, which included questions about the features of their smoking habits and use of nicotine after the acquisition of electronic cigarettes.

216 admitted that they continued to smoke.

Six months after the "test" e-cigarettes, 31 percent of the smokers said that quitting smoking, and two-thirds of them reported that reduce the daily number of cigarettes. A third of those who wanted to quit smoking also declined to a bad habit with the help of electronic cigarettes.

"This study shows that electronic cigarettes are helping thousands of ex-smokers to tobacco cigarettes," said study lead author Michael Siegel.

Against the background of positive data of this study, the employment of the fact that more than a week ago, the Commission of the Krasnodar FAS Russia recognized advertising information associated with the spread of electronic cigarettes, which assures customers that it is "an effective way to quit smoking, quit smoking easily" - untrue .

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)

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)

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.
