Energy brown fat to help in the fight against diabetes and obesity

"One of the most interesting features of this newly discovered signaling pathway is that it differs from the signal path caused by insulin. This means that the signal path in the brown fat is likely to be activated even in patients with type 2 diabetes, where there are violations of insulin signaling, "- says senior study author Tore Bengtsson (Tore Bengtsson) from Stockholm University.

Energy brown fat to help in the fight against diabetes and obesity

Scientists have discovered a new signaling pathway that stimulates glucose uptake in brown fat cells. They believe that this will help in the treatment of diabetes and obesity.

The findings are published in the Journal of Cell Biology.

At low temperatures, the system activates the sympathetic adrenergic receptors on the surface of brown adipose tissue, to stimulate the uptake of glucose in the blood. Then brown fat adipocytes using glucose as the source of energy to maintain body heat. Glucose uptake may also be caused by insulin.

Swiss researchers argue that mTORC2 signaling pathway is a key regulator of adrenergic receptors to stimulate glucose uptake in brown adipose tissue. The path that includes a protein kinase called MPM stimulates glucose transport and import GLUT1 protein to the surface of brown fat cells.

Apart from the fact that stimulating mTORC2 way is an effective tool for the control of blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes, these data suggest that the energy reserves of brown fat can be effective as a treatment for weight reduction.

Green tea is useful with sugar

Until recently it was assumed that the green tea to drink with no sugar - otherwise all the benefits will be reduced to zero. But it turned out that the opposite is true: sucrose, getting in green tea increases the digestibility catechine. But they are struggling with cancer, diabetes, stroke and heart disease.

Green tea To which Russians are accustomed to relatively recently gained popularity and is considered a drink, indispensable. Primarily because of the health benefits. Japanese by example proved that regular consumption of green tea prolongs life of 5-7 years and 25-30% reduced risk of cancer. But most of the judges were convinced that green tea and sugar are incompatible. Because sugar - the product is incredibly bad!

However, new studies have shown that green tea even "poisonous" sugar becomes useful. American nutritionists have discovered: the addition of sucrose in green tea three times increases the intensity of absorption are in it catechine. This class of antioxidant polyphenols, which play a major role in the prevention of diabetes, heart diseases and carcinogenic. And significantly reduce the risk of stroke. These conclusions were drawn from the results of laboratory experiments conducted with different groups of polyphenols - the most useful of all the substances present in tea.

Nutritionists advise, except for sugar, be sure to add more tea and lemon or other fruits, which contain vitamin C in large quantities. From this assimilation catechine will be even more intense.

The cause of obesity - not sugar

Perhaps full of our children does not sugar, and salt. Scientists came to the conclusion that most of the problems with being overweight occur in children who are actively absorb the salty food.

But the matter is not that the salt contains more calories than sugar. Just salty foods, as is well known to many, stimulates thirst in man. And children often quench their thirst by sugary drinks containing large amounts of sugar. In the end, all this leads to excess fat that sometimes persists for many years, increasing in numbers. This conclusion was obtained during observations of the 4200 Australian children.

Researchers from Deakin University have found that the more salty snacks like chips or nuts, the children consumed, the more often they chose to drink a lot of calories. The children who drank more than one sugary drink a day, then 34% more likely to become victims of obesity or childhood obesity . Every extra gram of salt per day increased the amount of fluid absorbed on 46 grams. Children who drank salty snacks sweet water, this ratio is 1 to 17.

"Reducing salt in the diet of the child will help both to reduce the number of drinks with sugar, that he consumes, - said study author Dr. Carl Grimes. - Therefore, it can be an important contribution to the fight against the epidemic of childhood obesity. A diet high in salt is not only threatens overweight and childhood obesity It increases the risk of serious and long-lasting health problems such as high blood pressure. This is known to be a significant risk factor for heart disease and stroke. "

Tooth died. Long live the tooth!

God gives man the teeth twice, both times - in childhood. If during the life of a person is not able to preserve this precious gift, to help compensate for the lost implantologists

Our expert - dental surgeon, implantologist multidisciplinary clinic CELT Eugene Antyukhin .

Dental Implantation - a method of implanting the place of the missing tooth artificial (titanium) design, which plays the role of the root. This dental prosthesis consists of two parts: the implant itself - titanium screws introduced in the jaw, and the abutment - the upper part connectable after a period of healing. On top of all this splendor is crowned with the crown of the cermet. And here it is - the resurrected from oblivion alive tooth, almost no distinguishable from its natural "neighbors".

Adequate replacement

Of course, the implantation - is not the only method of prosthetics. But - the best. And not only because such structures - the most durable (stand for 10 years or longer). And not even because this method allows you to keep intact adjacent healthy teeth, without facing them, as when installing the bridge.

The most important advantage is that the implant can only be an adequate substitute for the living tooth as takes care of all its functions. In particular, the roots are able to create artificial mouth same pressure on surrounding tissue that natural teeth, preventing the decrease of bone tissue, which inevitably occurs under the "curtain" part of the bridge.

With this method it is possible to "grow" Any number of teeth. Additionally, implants help to fix the "bridges" - artificial limbs long-haul (and removable and semi-removable dentures).

You are not standing!

The first stage of treatment - examination of the patient: oral examination, assessment of general health, the removal of diagnostic casts. Then - X-ray: orthopantomogram (panoramic picture of the jaws) sighting shots teeth requiring treatment. Next, the doctor selects the type of prosthesis, based on the state of the patient's dentition. Then - turn to work with diagnostic model missing teeth recovered from a wax or plastic. If everything is in order, "engineering design" the work can be finished and get to work "live", that is to implant itself.

It usually comprises two operations, although there is a one-step procedure .  The first step is to excision under local anesthesia the gums, implant placement and suturing the gums .  The abutment is often attached to the implant immediately, but during a second surgery, occurring in 2-3 months in the mandible and 3-6 months - on top .  In this period the patient can set temporary dentures .  During a second operation in the prosthetic gingiva incision, the implant healing abutment is screwed, which in turn quickly changed to the abutment .  But it subsequently put the crown, the latter procedure does not require anesthesia or any surgical procedures .  Postoperatively, the patient, depending on the amount of operations for 3-5 days can be a slight swelling of the gums .  At this time, to avoid overheating, as well as hypothermia, as well as strong physical exertion .

Tooth mythology

Dental implants are popular all over the world. However, in Russia to this method of prosthetics many still are incredulous. Is there any reason for fear and doubt?

Myth . If one day there was the rejection of the implant, implantation of a person is not suitable.

true . If rejection occurred most likely doctor something left out. This is not a disaster. After a while, everything can be repeated again. To minimize the risk, you need to carefully look for the doctor and the clinic, which will prosthetic. It is better not to go to the new clinic, and go to those that are known in the market more than 10-15 years. Or you can find a reputable doctor, better - a specialist in this field. To do this you need to collect information on the Internet, but better - ask the friends who have set themselves the implants and happy with the result. However, we must look for those people who have artificial teeth are at least 3 years, because in the course of the year hold on almost any design, even the palest hue. It is for this reason you should not too inspired, if the clinic promises to provide a guarantee on their work for a period of 1 year.

Myth . Implants are unreliable and often do not take root in the jaw.

true . Thanks to modern equipment and technology that happens very rarely. According to the medical literature of the world, take root implants in 96% of cases. The reason for failure is most often a failure to comply with physician examination or treatment protocol. Or revaluation doctor of their own capabilities or capabilities of the patient.

Myth . For implantation of a huge number of contraindications.

true . For this method there is practically no limitations. Even diabetes, which until recently was considered an absolute contraindication for implantation, is no longer a categorical obstacle - just such patients require more attention. However, if the doctor to whom you have come, not even interested in the state of your health, and immediately offers to business, you need to escape from this place.

Previously, when the patient has insufficient bone implantation zone, it is no longer able to implant artificial tooth. It is now generally used augmentation technique or by using bone taken from the patient, or by means of special biomaterial. In addition, today's product range of any manufacturer have implants of different diameter, which makes it possible to choose the size that will reduce the percentage of rejection to zero.

Nevertheless, the implantation is not for everyone. People with poor oral hygiene, as well as smokers better to not to resort to this method - they have the speed of recession (outcrop) above the gums. After implantation, (as well as after the classic prosthetics) to care for their teeth even more thoroughly than before: in addition to a toothbrush should be used dental floss, brushes, oral irrigators, and so on. D.

Myth . Implantation is much more expensive than any other dental prosthesis.

true . Not always. For example, if a person is not only one tooth, it can put a bridge for three crowns. Or only one implant. But the "bridge" will serve less time, and besides, abutments, retaining prosthesis on itself over time can not overpower the load, and then would have to spend prosthetics. A lifetime of quality delivered by the implant is practically unlimited.

Myth . All implants were identical, although there are different.

true . Today there are more than 60 manufacturers of imported implants. There are models of different price categories: economic (15-22 ths. Rub.), Medium (up to 45 ths. Rub.) And high (50 ths. Rub.). Expensive and high-quality models, of course, better. But in principle it is possible to put the prosthesis and the budget, as long as it matches certain criteria: had a moderately aggressive thread and quite a rough surface, and would not be smooth and polished - or in the bone tissue it does not take root. It is also important that the implant was performed technically correct junction of the upper and lower part of the prosthesis. But the patient is not necessary to understand these subtleties - the main thing to find a doctor to whom he trusted and who could clearly explain why it is necessary to put it is this, rather than other implants.

Children with developmental disabilities

... Most often born to members of professions at risk. It is cleaner and female researchers.

Owners of these professions often give birth to children with various birth defects and malformations It has been found in a study conducted by the Department of Health in New York.

Specialists Department analyzed data on nine thousands of mothers whose children were born with different malformations . We consider not only the women's profession, but risk factors such as smoking, drinking, drug addiction, obesity, lifestyle and heredity. Of course, it was taken into account and the age, because as recently reaffirmed medicine, the higher the age of women giving birth for the first time, the greater the risk of birth defects from her child.

Other things being equal, it turned out that most of the children are born with birth defects in women is actively engaged in scientific work, as well as from professional cleaners. But most healthy children, oddly enough, are born from the teachers. These studies are published in the journal Occupational and Environmental Medicine.

Unfortunately, the authors were unable to answer a reasonable question: What explains such a strange spread trades? The head of research said that aimed to carry out a purely statistical calculations and a more detailed study of the problem should be men of science.

We can assume that the cleaners were at risk because every day are forced to regularly come into contact with different types of household chemicals that are not good for your health too. But the scientists were guilty, and why children are the least likely teachers are born with malformations ? While that science can not answer these questions.

Early menopause in women - more often

The number of women going through early menopause, is growing rapidly. According to scientists, this is due to a large number of children who recover after oncological illnesses.

The survival rate of children suffering from cancer in the last decade has increased dramatically. Scientists attribute this remarkable fact that in the same period jumped significantly and the number of women who have early menopause . The so-called premature ovarian failure or early menopause   is the loss of ovarian function in women who have not reached 40 years of age. This condition is fixed at one woman out of every hundred.

However, according to statistics published in the prestigious scientific journal The Obstetrician & Gynaecologist, suffering from factor   early menopause   women recently increasing. As scientists believe, it is directly related to the fact that an increasing number of children was completely cured of cancer.

The fact that one of the main causes of the early menopause   is chemotherapy and radiation in childhood. These painful, but necessary in the treatment of cancer treatments may cause menopause is 10-20 years earlier than the normal term.

Studies show that 8% of the girls who survived cancer, then victims   early menopause . And if a child during the treatment they received no chemotherapy alone, but also alkylating agents (a group of drugs used in oncology), the risk of early menopause increases by 30-40%. After an early menopause in women is not ovulating. But ladies can still theoretically be mothers with IVF.

Early menopause increases the risk of stroke

Early menopause may be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, as scientists have found. At risk are women who have menopause before 46 years.

Early menopause   doubles the risk of stroke , Heart attack and other cardiovascular disease, according to researchers from the University of Alabama. The risk persists even if a woman goes through hormone replacement therapy, which doctors advise is just for prevention of heart disease.

"For women it is important to know that   early menopause   It is a potential factor the risk of stroke and cardiovascular diseases, which in turn are considered the most common cause of maternal mortality, - said Dr. Melissa Vellons, who led the study. - Women need to work very hard to work on risk factors such as high cholesterol and blood pressure. We need more exercise and a healthy diet. "

Researchers also believe that doctors should ask patients about their age when their menopause. According to statistics, the average age of menopause is 51 years.

Researchers studied more than 2,500 women aged 45 to 84 years, observations began in 2000. At the time the study began, none of these women had a heart attack, stroke, chest pain, or surgery on the valves of the heart up to 56 years. It was found that all these problems in women with early menopause   subsequently occurred twice as often, even taking into account other risk factors such as obesity.

Compiled 8 signs of cancer

Scientists have identified eight key characteristics that are more likely to indicate cancer. These symptoms should be a wake-up call for people of certain age groups. So ...

Bleeding from the rectum (in the older age group may be   symptom of cancer   colon).

Iron deficiency anemia ( a symptom of cancer   colon).

Lumps on the breast (possibly a symptom of cancer   chest).

Blood in the stool. Displaying rectal examination for the presence of cancer (possibly, prostate cancer)

Blood in the urine (possibly cancer related to urology).

Coughing up blood (possibly lung cancer).

Postmenopausal bleeding (possibly cancer related to gynecology).

Difficulty swallowing (possibly esophageal cancer).

With all these symptoms, patients are encouraged to address urgently to the doctor for investigation. The list of warning signs that predict cancer, has been produced by a group of scientists led by Mark Sheypli from the University of Kiel. It is published in the journal British Journal of General Practice.

Dr. Sheypli compiled this list based on an analysis of 25 studies conducted in the UK, USA, Netherlands, Belgium, Australia, Denmark and Germany. He hopes that if the largest possible number of people will know all of these signs and not to delay the visit to the doctor, the cancer will increasingly capture at an early stage, when the chances to recover the maximum.

However, not all doctors agree with these conclusions. So Dr. Kevin Barraclough from the British Stroud said that the presence of anemia among 21-year-old girl 99 times out of 100 is not symptom of cancer   colon, unlike 60-year-old male. Therefore, all these signs need to be more thoroughly distributed by age groups.

The cause gnashing of teeth - the crisis

American dentists struck a new phenomenon: an increasing number of patients with ground off by gnashing teeth. "People today are more likely to suffer from stress, they are concerned about the financial situation, his future, and all of this affects the teeth, - says Steven Butensky dentist who specializes in prosthetic dentistry. - They continually grind their teeth We are looking at what is happening around. "

And people have for this reason. One of the regular customers of Dr. Butenskogo lost hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in Bernie Madoff pyramid. Another lost work, which brought him a six-figure checks. And single mothers dedicated to flower business on Long Island, and now there is no free minutes. Woman inject 14 hours a day to make ends meet.

New drug helps the body defeat the cancer of the skin

New cure for skin cancer It uses its own "killer cells" of the body that lead to tumor self-destruction. The creators of the drug are scientists from Oxford University.

a cure for cancer

A cure for cancer   IMCgp100 with a fundamentally new mechanism of action developed in England. Scientists were able to make T-cells of the body, which are sometimes called "killer cells" infections attack the malignancy. Clinical Trials medications have shown that some patients with skin cancer tumor size It decreased significantly. Now scientists think about how to use this mechanism for drugs against other types of cancer, including breast and lung tumors.

"I think we can count for much, - says one of the founders Cancer Drugs Professor Mark Middleton. - The first phase of clinical trials showed that IMCgp100 It works as predicted, and it has a significant clinical activity. It is very, very impressive. We observed a rash and inflammatory processes in tumors in our patients taking the drug, and it is said that their immune system began to destroy cancer cells. "

Scientists were surprised and duration of action of the drug, since the degree of inflammation tumors reached after only a single injection, was impressive and long. Self medication works by transforming themselves into protein antigens fixed on the surface of cancer cells. It is for him the body then strikes with the help of T cells.

In the near future IMCgp100 It will be tested on a larger number of patients in the US and the UK. (READ MORE)

Unique operation saved the mother and child

Young woman and her unborn baby were rescued after a unique operation to remove the tumor, which is fed by hormones of pregnancy and threatened to destroy the heart and lungs of the future mother. This is the first such operation in the world e.

26-year-old Nicola Ellington had no idea that after she became pregnant, her body has begun to feed not only the child but also benign teratoma . This tumor was named in honor of the beast of Greek mythology, because it is often created from the cells that form the teeth and the hair of the child.

Nicole and her unborn daughter Laila Sky will have a very gloomy outlook, as benign teratoma in a woman's breast soon grew to the size of a watermelon, and pressed on with a light heart. Then the surgeons decided on a unique operation to remove a huge teratoma.

A resident of British Petersboro went through this surgery at the University Hospital of Coventry. Before this incident, the surgeons have never performed   removal of teratoma   a pregnant woman. The operation was carried out Dr. Joseph Marzouk, and she was successful - mother and baby survived.

"We think that produced during pregnancy hormones can trigger the growth of tumors of this type, which can be called a rather rare - says consultant cardiologist Dawn Adamson, who established the exact location benign teratoma before surgery. - But neither I nor my colleagues have never experienced such monstrous tumors in pregnant women. And when we consulted with other doctors from different countries, we make sure that all will hold the first such operation removal of teratoma in the world. This tumor composed of cells of the embryo in the uterus formed. They were supposed to serve as a basis for the development of the child, but instead turned into a teratoma. "

To give birth after 45 dangerous

Very few women over 45 unable to conceive a child. Israeli scientists utverdzhayut that in case of late delivery is at risk not only the health of mothers but also of the future baby.

After giving birth to such a late age, women are three times more young at risk of diabetes, as well as becoming a victim of chronic hypertension during pregnancy. This is stated in a report published in the journal American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology.

Women aged observe a large number of premature late childbirth and placenta previa (pathology, in which the placenta is in the lower uterus for any wall, partially or completely blocking the birth canal).

"A more advanced age by itself is not such good health, as a young man, and this in turn increases the risk of pregnancy" - explains Dr. Maximilian Franz of the Medical University of Vienna, who was not involved in the study. Alas, today more and more women delay childbearing, causing experts to wonder what consequences this entails for the mother or child. Most of the research on the " starorodyaschaya "Focuses on women from 35, but almost nobody is studying those older than 45.

Dr. Yariv Yogev and his colleagues from the University of Tel Aviv doing just that. They are closely watched starorodyaschaya women between 2000 and 2008. The study involved more than 80,000 pregnant women, but only 117 of them were older than 45 years. This is about 0, 2%.

Most of these mothers were able to conceive using donor egg, and 80% gave birth by Caesarean section. This is more than twice the traditional indicators in younger women in childbirth.

The ideal age for conception

Modern women continues to excite the question about the optimal duration of conceiving a child. Living conditions are often forced to delay family indefinitely. But the time of conception and childbirth is limited.

Women for the first time have a child under the age   "Thirty" no one is surprised. Increasingly, there are cases of childbirth after 40 years. British sociologists conducted a survey among women of The best time for conception . It was found that the ideal age for the birth of a baby is considered to be 27 years. The average age of a young mother in the UK is 29 years.

Some doctors say, as I wrote Medikforum.ru That from a physiological point of view, should be beget children   and to give birth at 14 years. However, such a bold statement is not always met with understanding even among their colleagues. Child development specialist, Penelope Leach generally considered meaningless such a question. According to her, each case is different. A child can become a joy for the 15-year and 40-year-old mother or a big problem for 30 years.

All the experts agree that the ability to   conceive a child   begins to decline after 35 years. But the British therapist Suzanne Lawson believes that these figures are out of date. The body of modern women now ages later because of the fashion for a healthy lifestyle and a good nutritious diet. Therefore, since the cases of late delivery. Not far behind and modern medicine. Diseases that used to be an impediment to procreation, is now successfully cured.

The overall result of the study physicians and sociologists is that better   to give birth to a child up to 30 years, when the body is full of energy and ready for pregnancy and childbirth. But if your age has passed for 30, too, do not despair. Monitor your health rgulyarno pass a medical examination. And then your chances of emergence of a healthy baby will increase significantly.

Why women thicker than men, new research

Why are women more likely than men having stocks of excess fat on your stomach? Researchers from Ohio State University in the US have managed to find the answer to this question.

As it became known, male and female organisms of different processes fatty foods. In women increases the waist due to the fact that excess fat   accumulates around the internal organs. This is the most dangerous type of fat, known in medicine   visceral fat . It is produced by the enzyme, the level of which in a woman's body than in men. Visceral fat is associated with the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease and cancer.

US researchers genetically modified laboratory mice that their organisms lacking this enzyme. And then the female mice were lean, especially in the abdominal area, although it consumes a large amount of fatty foods. Males also exhibit less   excess fat But the effect was less pronounced.

Consequently, it is this enzyme that produces potent hormone, which is responsible for the formation of visceral fat as well, and should be the target of the latest techniques to combat female obesity. In this study author Juliana sure Zyuzenkova.

"If you ask most people what they believe causes obesity, then you will most likely be called the abuse of food and a sedentary lifestyle - says Dr. Zyuzenkova. - But we observed genetic factors that tell the body how it should come from fat . Fatty diet of all-only responds to our genetic structure by which we gain weight or stay slim. By itself, the diet can not do this. "

Men are better not to hurt the common cold

British scientists have discovered how the immune system behaves in mice that were infected with various infections. It was found that in male and female animals it responds to different viruses.

Dr. Ramona Scotland, University of London Queen Mary and colleagues conducted a study on infected mice, in which the experts analyzed the content of white blood cells in the lungs and stomach, to ensure the body's first line of defense against viral infections . It was found that females was approximately twice more white blood cells as compared to males. Moreover, the cells of females respond more quickly and effectively to pathogens with them struggling - in all cases of infection of the female rodents carry diseases better than males.

This study, according to scientists, suggesting that the male body initially moves viral infections harder than women, it is the oldest of all mammalian immune response. That is, this principle also applies to people.

Meanwhile, judging by the polls, men's complaints of feeling unwell during cold wives often perceived as somewhat exaggerated. Scientists note that such an attitude could be wrong - men really hard to carry diseases such as catarrhal purely biological.

Proved: Alzheimer's disease overtakes diabetics

Alzheimer's disease can be a continuation of Type II diabetes, as established scientists. It turns out that the excessive production of insulin, which is observed in victims of diabetes, affects the chemical processes of the brain.

Alzheimer's disease

Researchers from the University of Albany in the US found that Alzheimer's disease   and Type II diabetes   It may be related disease, if one at all is a consequence of the other. It turned out that in the later stages of diabetes often develops Alzheimer's disease . This may explain why nearly three-quarters of diabetics are the victims of the most common kinds of dementia.

It was found that when produced Diabetes Type an excessive amount of insulin to the brain and disrupts its chemical processes. In the end, it creates large mass of amyloid proteins, toxic brain cells, which leads to the appearance of clinical symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. In the UK, type II diabetes there are now at 2, 5 million people, 80% of which have problems with excess weight. Alzheimer's disease affects 500,000 Britons.

"People need to realize that control over its own weight will help to protect them not only from diabetes, which many think is not so terrible disease - said study co-author Evan McNeely. - Type II diabetes is the first step to reduce the cognitive activity. Initially diabetics from -this excess weight will not be able to play with their children in active games, but after 30 years they will cease to recognize them at all. "

The scientific community has long been suspected relationship between diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. But as the first victims of the disease because of excess weight do not live very long, many of them simply do not have time to hold out until the onset of dementia. (READ MORE)

With age, women are smarter than men?

All business, according to scientists, sex hormones

It is not a secret that these little brisk substances hormones - the most that neither is on the "gray cardinal" of the body. It depends on them metabolism and our mood and even brain activity.

Researchers from Northwestern Medical School, United States claim that with age the brain cells of women work more actively than men. And it happens at the expense of female sex hormones - estrogens, which are produced by the female body in much larger quantities than the male. These hormones contribute to the renewal of neurons and stimulate mental activity.

Estrogen is produced primarily by women's ovaries, and a small number produced by the adrenal glands in men and women, and male testes.

Peak production of estrogen between the ages of 25 to 35 years. Then they reduced production in both men and women. But in the male body, this process is much faster. And 45-50 years female brain is more active than that of men.

BTW

The weight of the female brain is 12% less than men, but the blood supply to it in 1, 3 times more active. Scientists from the University of Pennsylvania examined in the MRI scanner 200 people aged 18 to 80 years and found that the male brain tissue wear at 1, 5 - 2 times faster than the female. And the greatest changes occur in the left side of the brain responsible for control of speech.

In general, the male brain - less reliable mechanism. Through many parts of the female brain for the same period of time it takes 15% more blood than the same parts of the male. Perhaps because of this, the stronger sex are more common strokes and Alzheimer's disease.

After 45 years of neurons (nerve cells - the "little gray cells", as he called them to Hercule Poirot) male brain begin to be updated 1, 5 times slower than in women. Because senile dementia (dementia) faster and more popular with men.

Being overweight is the most dangerous for men

As a general rule, to 40 years in the stronger sex "overgrown" body fat and will automatically become the victims of this disease.
And much to get fat it is not necessary. Diabetes   men develop at a lower body mass index than women. Suffice it to step over the bar at 31, 83 - the BMI is considered to be critical mark (upper limit for women - 33, 69).

Diabetes   - One of the most common diseases affecting the endocrine system. Advanced forms of diabetes threatens human blindness and chronic renal failure. The medicine against the disease, only one - insulin. This hormone is routinely administered through injection, allows to split and recycle the excess sugar in the blood. The most common Type II diabetes occurs in people who have stepped 40-year milestone. At this age on the body, "settles" the greatest amount of fat. Dr Victoria King, head of the research areas of the charity Diabetes UK, said that men and women should be equally carefully monitor their health - to take prompt action to reduce the risk of diabetes of the second type.

Colds during pregnancy threatens "breakdown" of the brain in boys

Scientists have discovered another important reason why the sick during pregnancy - is extremely dangerous to the health of the fetus. The reason is that during the illness of her mother's immunity is increased, and this has a negative impact on the health of the child. In particular - on the state of his brain.

cold when beremnnosti

Indian scientists have found that increasing the mother's immune system suppresses the hippocampus of the embryo, and the most susceptibility to changes in women's health malchiki.Gippokamp are responsible for memory and spatial navigation, and boys are faced with infection during fetal maturation, more often than other children born with abnormalities of this part brain.

Suspicions of Indian specialists received confirmation from experiments on male mice. Scientists have found that the number of nerve cells of males less, and the volume of the brain are lower than in females. In addition, tissue macrophages, was found that is not normal for that area.

It is believed that these cells are the cause of autism and schizophrenia in males. Reported assistant professor of gynecology and neurology Irina Bird (Johns Hopkins University).

To sum up, the presence of infection during pregnancy can lead to fetal abnormalities, since the child's body is not able to withstand the strongest agents. As a result, his reaction is unpredictable. It is interesting that chronic inflammation is dangerous no less than sharp, and can also be one of the causes of undeveloped hippocampus. (READ MORE)

Every fourth miscarriage could prevent the woman

Every fourth miscarriage could be prevented if women take more responsibility for their way of life. That is the conclusion drawn by researchers from the University of Copenhagen.

risk of miscarriage

Danish researchers studied the development of the 91,427 pregnancies, and they were interested in what circumstances increase risk of miscarriage . Women are told in detail about their habits, lifestyle and health. It turned out that 25% of the risks that lead to miscarriage, is optional, that is, they can be avoided. Such risks, for example, are underweight women, obesity, consumption of alcoholic beverages during pregnancy, night shifts and carrying heavy weights (over 20 kg).

As authors of the study, if women wanted to reduce these risks to a minimum, it would be significantly reduced and risk of miscarriage . However, other scientists believe that the Danes have not proven a link between all of the above factors and the risk of miscarriage. Science knows that up to half of miscarriages are caused by chromosomal abnormalities, because of which the mother's body just rejects it.

"That's a pretty significant study by volume, though I do not fully understand its meaning, because not heard absolutely nothing new - says Professor Tom Bourne, consultant gynecologist hospital Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital in London. - We already all know that alcohol consumption during pregnancy is not a good idea. But to say that a change in one or the other factor miscarriage rate will be reduced, I would not, given the absence of any clinical evidence. This relationship between these risk factors and abortion proved not It was. " (READ MORE)
