SAN FRANCISCO, July 29 (Xinhua) -- A new study by researchers in the United States and Norway indicates that teenagers who do smoke daily are reporting more health complaints than in years past. Marc Braverman, lead author and a professor in the College of Public Health and Human Sciences at Oregon State University (OSU), said while smoking is on the decline among adults and adolescents in most places around the world, "some adolescents smoke as an attempt to cope with their health problems, and that subgroup may represent a growing proportion of teen smokers." "Teens who smoke report significantly higher levels of health complaints than nonsmoking teens, and we found that ...

Astronauts may have the most high-pressured job in the world. But you'll be stunned when you hear what astronauts do to keep their blood pressure in check. They never take normal blood pressure drugs. In fact, if an astronaut takes any of the most-prescribed blood pressure drugs, they're not allowed to fly. You might think they have a special kind of drug that is more expensive and more effective. You're wrong. They only take natural remedies. They don't have a choice. The Aerospace Medical Association guidelines insist they use natural remedies for blood pressure. That's right: NASA has effectively banned common high blood pressure drugs in favor of natural ...

BERLIN, July 28 (Xinhua) -- Scientists searching for new antibiotics to cure hard-to-treat infections have found an effective bacteria in the human nose. According to a report published in the scientific journal Nature on Wednesday, a group of German researchers have discovered a bacteria called Staphylococcus lugdunensis. It can produce a chemical called hugdunin, which is bactericidal against major pathogens. The most important characteristic of the chemical is that it wouldn't develop a resistance in the bugs that it kills with repeated use, the researchers from the University of Tubingen in Germany pointed out. Killing so-called "superbugs," which are strong pathogens ...

WASHINGTON, July 28 (Xinhua) -- U.S. astronauts who flew the Apollo moon-landing missions in the 1960s and 1970s are experiencing higher rates of heart problems that are thought to be caused by their exposure to deep space radiation, new research said Thursday. Apollo astronauts are the only humans that have traveled beyond Earth's protective geomagnetic field, while other manned spaceflight has taken place exclusively in low Earth orbit, where such protection against space radiation is still present. In the new study, researchers from the Florida State University compared the cause of death for seven Apollo lunar astronauts to 35 astronauts who flew only in low Earth orbit and 35 ...
Study shows amber-tinted glasses can reduce manic symptoms in just 3 days

ScienceAlert... A small experiment has shown that wearing amber-tinted glasses at night time can help people with bipolar disorder reduce manic symptoms in just three days. If the results are verified in a larger study, it could offer a new way for patients to manage their mental health conditions, as well as their sleep patterns. The benefits of amber-tinted glasses are that they block blue light - a major component of sunlight and the light beamed at us from our computer and phone screens. In the mornings, it's this blue light that helps reset our body clock each day. But a growing body of evidence is linking too much blue-light exposure in the evenings to problems including ...
The way you breathe could be affecting your emotions

ScienceAlert... It’s literally the most boring thing you do every day. And thank goodness - if breathing weren’t completely rote, we’d all be dead. But if you’re like me, your inhales and exhales seem to be inexplicably linked with your state of mind. When I’m stressed, I steal antsy, shallow sips of air and puff them out quickly. When I’m relaxed, on the other hand, I breathe in gently and deeply, before letting go of the air slowly. Studies suggest that I’m not the only one who’s noticed a link between their emotional state and their breathing. While rapid breathing can often be a symptom of stress or anxiety, research shows that taking control ...

ScienceAlert... Next month, Chinese researchers will edit adult human DNA using the revolutionary CRISPR/Cas-9 tool, commonly known as CRISPR, for the first time anywhere in the world. The researchers will attempt to cut faulty DNA out of the cells of lung cancer patients who have failed to respond to all other conventional treatments. Chinese scientists have previously used CRISPR on non-viable human embryos, without much luck, but this is the first time any researchers, anywhere in the world, will use the tool to edit DNA in an adult. If successful, the hope is that it could lead to further CRISPR treatments - CRISPR/Cas-9 allows researchers to effectively cut and paste DNA in cells, ...

A method for predicting older patients' risk for pneumonia could help prevent hospitalization and death. WASHINGTON, July 25 (UPI) -- Using a set of lifestyle and health factors, researchers in a recent study by the American Geriatrics Society found a method of calculating risk for pneumonia that may help increase vaccination and prevent the potentially life-threatening infection. Older adults with pneumonia are hospitalized about 40 percent of the time, facing high risk of complication and death because of other health issues many of them already have. Those at highest risk for the infection are older, have chronic lung disease, smoke or are underweight. For the study, published in ...

ScienceAlert... New research shows that our bodies own immune systems have another way to fight off urinary tract infections (UTIs) without antibiotics - and it's super effective. This is a pretty big deal, seeing as UTIs are one of the most common infections treated with antibiotics in humans – something that’s contributing to the rise of drug-resistant superbugs. Right now, bacteria in the US are readily becoming resistant to our last lines of antibiotics, hospital infections are getting more and more deadly, and even gonorrhoea is on the verge of being untreatable in the near future. So finding anything that can treat bacterial infections without antibiotics is ...

WELLINGTON, July 22 (Xinhua) -- New Zealand researchers said on Friday that there is strong evidence that alcohol is a direct cause of cancer. A review of epidemiological evidence supported a causal association between alcohol consumption and cancers at seven sites in the body: oropharynx, larynx, oesophagus, liver, colon, rectum and female breast, said Prof. Jennie Connor, a University of Otago researcher. While there was a long-recognized association between alcohol and cancer, a "causal association" meant there was evidence that alcohol consumption directly caused cancer, Connor said in a statement. The causal link was supported by evidence for a dose-response ...
