SAN FRANCISCO — The ranks of older and frail adults are growing rapidly in the developed world, raising alarms about how society is going to help them take care of themselves in their own homes. The University of Illinois roboticist recently received a $1.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation to explore the idea of designing small autonomous drones to perform simple household chores, like retrieving a bottle of medicine from another room. Dr. Hovakimyan acknowledged that the idea might seem off- putting to many, but she believes that drones will not only be safe, but will become an everyday fixture in elder care within a decade or two. “I’m convinced that ...

Watching television for 3 hours or more a day in young adulthood, coupled with low levels of physical activity, may lead to poorer cognitive function in midlife, the first study of its kind suggests. Lead author Tina Hoang, MSPH, Northern California Institute for Research and Education, San Francisco, and senior author Kristine Yaffe, MD, University of California, San Francisco, found that young adults aged approximately 25 years who watched television for 3 hours or more a day demonstrated poorer performance on several measures of executive function and processing speed 25 years later compared with those watching less. When coupled with low levels of physical activity, watching a lot of ...

Coconut water exposed: 9 brands to avoid due to harmful chemicals Posted by: Abby Campbell, staff writer in Food News September 9, 2015 coconut-water(NaturalHealth365) As one of the healthiest drinks in the world, coconut water is exceptionally beneficial for health. Its unique compilation of vitamins and minerals help protect your body. For example, better than sports drinks, coconut water provides athletes a natural potassium and magnesium-rich drink that rehydrates the body while reducing inflammation and balancing blood sugar. A scientific review published in the Molecules journal also showed benefits ranging from lowering high blood pressure, preventing heart attacks, and healing ...

ScienceAlert... A diet high in green vegetables is known to reduce the incidence of cancer, and now scientists have found evidence that they could help fight cancer already present in tumours. Researchers in the US have found that a compound in dark-green vegetables (aka cruciferous vegetables) called sulforaphane may be able to treat cancer and help existing cancer drugs work more effectively. Sulforaphane is found in the highest concentrations in young sprouts of broccoli, but it's also present in Brussels sprouts, kale, cauliflower, and cabbage. In addition to natural produce, you can also buy sulforaphane in the dietary supplement broccoli sprout extract (BSE). In a new study ...

ScienceAlert... In the same week that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved an anti-ageing drug trial for 2016, marking the first time it's recognised ageing, rather than a specific disease, as a new drug target, scientists in Switzerland have waded through 40,000 genes from three different organisms to identify the genes responsible for physical ageing. The team from ETH Zurich also discovered that when these genes are altered, the healthy lifespan of laboratory animals could be extended, offering up the possibility of achieving something similar in humans. The researchers started off with a selection of 40,000 genes that are common to the nematode worm C. elegans, ...

ScienceAlert... We all want to live healthier for longer, but despite the increase in lifespans over the past century, at some point, age inevitably catches up with us and our cells begin to make mistakes, leading to a range of diseases such as cancer and dementia. But now researchers believe they might have found something that could slow down the ageing process entirely – a cheap diabetes drug that's already being taken by millions of people. Known as metformin, the drug has been on the market for around 60 years. But the reason scientists are so interested in it now is that, over that time, researchers have observed that the drug appears to reduce the likelihood of age-related ...

Pravda... Natural ginger root contains natural compounds that are hundreds times more effective than anti-cancer chemotherapy drugs, a study published in PLoS journal said. The substance known as 6-shogaol is produced by drying ginger root. This substance is active against cancer stem cells at concentrations that are harmless to healthy cells. This is very different from traditional chemotherapy that is known for its serious side effects mainly because chemotherapy kills both healthy and cancerous cells. Like other stem cells, cancer stem cells are able to differentiate into various cell types. In case of cancer, stem cells differentiate into malignant cells that make up the tumor ...

Superbugs to devastate humanity as last antibiotic chemicals prove useless Sunday, November 29, 2015 by: David Gutierrez, staff writer (NaturalNews) As drug-resistant infections become more prevalent, more and more people are now being treated with "last-resort" antibiotics, warns a new report by Public Health England, an agency within the British Department of Health. The report also showed an increase in the number of people suffering a "significant antibiotic-resistant infection" between 2010 and 2014. Antibiotic resistance develops as a natural consequence of antibiotic use. Because viruses are a diverse and ancient group of organisms, many of them have some ...

Flame retardant in most household items are linked to chronic disease Posted by: Abby Campbell, staff writer in Dangerous Chemicals November 27, 2015 child-with-oxygen-mask(NaturalHealth365) Due to American popularity of cigarettes and the major fires they caused in the 1970s, flame-retardant chemicals were developed. The tobacco industry was urged to make self-extinguishing cigarettes. Instead, they created a front group called the National Association of State Fire Marshalls – which pushed for laws requiring fire-retardant furniture. In 1975, California laws led to a national standard requiring furniture manufacturers to douse their couches and mattresses with flame retardant ...
Triple Oral Antithrombotic Therapy May Up Bleeding Risk in Oldest AF Patients Having PCI
Post Date: 2015-11-29 03:31:29 by Tatarewicz

Medscape ORLANDO, FL — Triple antithrombotic therapy, that is an oral anticoagulant added to dual-antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), was associated with an increased 1-year risk of bleeding complications versus DAPT alone in octogenarians with atrial fibrillation (AF) who had received PCI, in a small study from eight centers in Japan[1]. The finding came from a subgroup analysis of a 360-patient cohort of patients with AF getting PCI. A closer look revealed that the octogenarians who received triple therapy—an oral anticoagulant added to aspirin and clopidogrel dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT)—had a higher risk of bleeding complications at 1 year compared with their peers who ...

Medscape Medical News Elevated amyloid levels were associated with worse cognition and greater cognitive decline and neurodegeneration in a new study of the general population of persons with normal cognition at baseline. "We found that individuals in the general population who are amyloid positive but cognitively normal do have an increased risk of progressing to cognitive impairment,” lead author Ronald C. Petersen, MD, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, commented to Medscape Medical News. "This occurs at the rate of about 8% to 10% per year, compared to a rate of 1% to 2% in the general population who are not amyloid positive,” he said. In contrast, previous ...

ScienceAlert... The benefits of learning another language aren’t limited to just getting by in another tongue. They may also extend to a host of hidden cognitive benefits that could protect your brain in the case of a serious health episode such as a stroke or dementia, according to a new study. Researchers from the UK and India gathered data from 608 stroke patients in Hyderabad, India, and found that people who speak more than one language have a greater chance to recover from a stroke than monolingual people. And the increase in recovery prospects is by a significant margin too – bilingual people (and those who speak more than two languages) are said to be twice as likely to ...

The biggest lie about natural remedies exposed Thursday, November 26, 2015 by: Jonathan Landsman (NaturalNews) A small voice inside your head may be telling you that natural remedies are not effective for your current health crisis. And, that's understandable, when you consider the amount of people that believe pharmaceutical drugs are the 'only way' to treat chronic health problems like allergies, arthritis or hypertension. But, here's where it gets really dangerous – especially if you're not feeling well. The blunt truth about Western medicine. If your healthcare provider says 'natural remedies are a waste of time,' they are either lying to you or ...

So when you experience drowsiness or digestive symptoms like gas, bloating or heartburn after eating, it could be your body’s way of telling you it’s working WAY too hard to digest your meal. And in addition to being uncomfortable, these common digestive issues are often early indications of far more serious health problems. Yet ...

WebMD...There was big news in the world of cardiology last week – news that will change the way heart doctors approach the care of patients with the common heart rhythm disorder atrial fibrillation. It was not a new drug or procedure. It was much simpler. The new discovery was the power of weight loss—and its effect on the human heart. The news was released at the annual meeting of The American College of Cardiology. The meeting featured thousands of presentations of cutting-edge science, yet the most important news was basic. In the Legacy study, a group of heart rhythm doctors from Adelaide Australia reported that patients who lost more than 10% of their body weight enjoyed ...
Forget paleo, go mid-Victorian: it’s the healthiest diet you’ve never heard of

If you were to ask a member of the public to name a particularly healthy cuisine they might say the Mediterranean diet. If they really knew their stuff they might even suggest the Inuit diet. What they are unlikely to mention is the British diet of the mid-Victorian era. Yet between the years of 1850 and 1872 was a mini golden age of nutrition which, if more restricted in choice, had much in common with today’s best dietary models. Their diet may have been dull, but the mid- Victorian urban working classes ate healthily. A common view remains that Victorian life was brutish and short. A typical life span in 1840s Whitechapel, London, was supposedly 45 years for the middle classes, ...
Your gut bacteria are controlling your appetite, study finds

ScienceAlert... Bacteria in the gut produce appetite-suppressing proteins about 20 minutes after a meal, a new study has found, suggesting that we have less control over how much we eat than we thought. Scientists investigated the role that colonies of Escherichia coli (E.coli) bacteria living in our intestines play in what we eat. They discovered that the proteins these bacteria release when they’ve had enough nutrients influence the signals sent between the gut and the brain, and can even activate appetite-related neurons to make you feel full. "There are so many studies now that look at microbiota composition in different pathological conditions, but they do not explore the ...

Higher resting heart rate linked to increased risk of death

SHANDONG, China, Nov. 23 (UPI) -- Results of a large study in China showed that a higher resting heart rate increased the risk of death from all causes. "The available evidence does not fully establish resting heart rate as a risk factor," researchers wrote in the new study, published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal. "But there is no doubt that elevated resting heart rate serves as a marker of poor health status." Previous research has linked resting heart rate to noncardiovascular mortality. But the research has overall been inconsistent when it comes to resting heart rate, researchers wrote. The researchers reviewed 46 studies as part of a meta-analysis ...
We should all be eating seaweed every day, say food experts

ScienceAlert... It’s probably fair to say that for lots of people reading this, seaweed isn’t a regular staple of their diet. While it’s consumed around the world in many coastal cities and particularly in Asian cuisine, many of us wouldn’t ordinarily come across seaweed in food except when it’s used to wrap up sushi rolls or flavour rice crackers. But we should change this, according to a team of Danish researchers who advocate that people should be eating seaweed daily to make their meals healthier – and to help reduce the impact of obesity and the conditions that stem from it. “Certain substances in seaweed may be important for reducing ...
