ScienceAlert... There's been a whole lot of research over the past year highlighting a link between mental health and gut bacteria. And now a small study has strengthened that link, after showing that a group of men who took probiotic capsules daily for a month felt less stressed and performed better on memory tests. The study only involved a small group, so the results definitely need to be replicated before we all rush off to the shops and buy probiotics, but they're a promising sign that we might one day be able to help manage our mental health through our guts. Our colonies of gut bacteria - or microbiome - make up a unique ecosystem of thousands of bacteria that live inside ...

We documented in 2012 that that toxic chemicals in our food, water and air our causing an epidemic of obesity … even in 6 month old infants. No matter how lazy and gluttonous adults may have become recently, 6-month-olds can’t be lazy … they can’t even walk, let alone go to the gym. And 6-month-olds can’t “binge” … Gerber doesn’t make corn dogs or milk chocolate truffles fried in beer batter. And we documented in 2012 that the same thing is being observed in animals … hardly your stereotypical couch potatoes. A study published last month in the journal Obesity Research & Clinical Practice found that it’s harder for adults today ...

Medscape Medical News ... HONOLULU — Diabetes and hypertension are both independent risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma, even in the absence of cirrhosis or the common causes of cirrhosis, according to a retrospective study. Does this mean we should "screen patients with diabetes mellitus and hypertension for hepatocellular carcinoma in the absence of cirrhosis, and will this be cost-effective?" asked Allison Kasmari, MD, a gastroenterology resident at Penn State Hershey Medical Center in Pennsylvania. Previous studies have suggested that diabetes increases the risk for hepatocellular carcinoma, prompting Dr Kasmari and her colleagues to investigate whether other ...

ScienceAlert... Nobody likes going to the dentist. No matter how much effort you put into keeping your teeth clean, you could always be doing more – according to your dentist, at least. And they’re quite happy to threaten you with fillings (or worse) if they don’t get what they want. But the current status quo of dental fillings and implants could face a significant overhaul in the coming years, thanks to the advent of 3D printing, and one new concept tooth in particular. Researchers in the Netherlands have successfully created a 3D-printed tooth implant made from an antimicrobial resin that kills harmful bacteria in the mouth. In other words, this is a tooth that ...

Medscape... Hi. I'm Art Caplan at the Division of Medical Ethics at the NYU Langone Medical Center. What do you do if someone comes in your office and says, "Doc, what do you think about genetically modified food? Is it safe for me and my kids to eat? Do you eat it?" How do you respond? Genetically modified foods in the American diet are unavoidable. All processed food contain GMOs (genetically modified organisms). Most of our corn and soy contain GMOs. We have probably been eating GMOs for a long time. Many of your patients probably don't understand that genetically modified seeds are usually altered to make them more pesticide-resistant—the weeds die, but the ...

Sputnik... A new study on schizophrenia has been heralded as a breakthrough in medicine by many experts, as it proves that the key to the successful treatment of this disease is to rely on early intervention using one-on-one "talk therapy" and family support rather than high doses of medication. Seeing Straight: Study Sheds New Light on Nature of Psychotic Hallucination American researchers published the results of a study of the early stages of schizophrenia in the American Journal of Psychiatry on Tuesday; their early intervention program stresses the importance of "talk therapy".

No matter how much warn against it, I still have several patients who eat cereal – like corn flakes – for breakfast. Well, there's actually a very interesting story behind corn flakes. John Henry Kellogg, the inventor of this crunchy breakfast cereal, considered sexual activity to be a very unhealthy activity. He also believed rich and flavorful foods increased sexual desire.I So when Mr. Kellogg created corn flakes to be part of a bland diet, he believed they would help decrease sexual urges. Today it's easy to laugh about this misguided belief system. But these days, there's nothing funny about corn flakes – or most other breakfast cereals. Leading ...
Number of moles on right arm could indicate melanoma risk

LONDON, Oct. 19 (UPI) -- Mole counts are one of the basic ways that doctors assess risk for melanoma. Researchers at the University College London devised a method of estimating the number of moles on a person's body, using it to estimate their risk for skin cancer. Most moles do not turn into cancer, however the researchers found in a new study that women with more than 11 moles on their right arm were more likely to develop a melanoma. The method of determining risk is based on the total number of moles on a person's body, but counting moles on the entire body can be time consuming in a regular patient visit. Researchers said assessing patients with an estimate at first could ...
High Cholesterol Linked to Tendinopathy

High cholesterol levels are associated with tendon problems, according to a review of studies published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Tendons are the tough fibres (sinews) that connect muscles to bones. Tendinopathy is a general term that is used to describe pain or abnormality in the tendons. Nobody knows the exact cause of tendinopathy, but it is often associated with overuse. However, about a third of cases of tendinopathy occur in people who are inactive. In fact, the condition is quite common in people who are obese. This has led some scientists to suggest that the mechanical pressure of the extra weight can damage the tendons and cause pain. But this is unlikely to be ...

No one really knows the true cause of autism, but the numbers are rising, with approximately 1 in 50 school-aged children in the United States diagnosed with autism (2011). Taking into account that in 2007 this ratio was at 1 in 87 children, by 2025 it is predicted that half of United States children will have autism. Effective treatment for autism is desperately needed, but the medical establishment has been largely unsuccessful. This is why parents of autistic children, such as Kerri Rivera, often have no choice but to take matters into their own hands when learning to cope with raising an autistic child. To share her amazing discoveries in treating autism with the world she wrote the ...
Air pollutants are entering our bodies through our skin, study finds

ScienceAlert... In heavily polluted areas, we all know that we should try to avoid inhaling whatever toxins are floating around as much as possible. That’s why when pollution gets especially bad in China, people are advised to stay indoors, and it's one of the reasons behind the rise in surgical masks being worn in Tokyo, Japan. But a new study has found that when it comes to certain airborne pollutants, called phthalates, our skin can absorb just as much as we’re breathing in. "We're big sponges for these chemicals," lead researcher, John Kissel from the University of Washington in the US, told Science News. Phthalates are a group of 'semi-volatile' ...
These animals don't get cancer, and scientists think they could hold a cure

ScienceAlert... In trying to find a cure for cancer, where better to look than the animals that experience very low rates of the disease, or don't get it at all? That's the thinking behind new research into elephants and naked mole rats, which scientists are hoping could point the way towards better treatments in humans. The root cause of cancer is a chance mutation in a group of cells, which is why it's puzzling that elephants get cancer so rarely - they have 100 times the number of cells us humans do, yet on average only 1 in 20 elephants develop the disease compared to 1 in 5 people. A team of researchers in the US looked closer, and found an abundance of a gene called ...

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16 (Xinhua) -- An estimated 23,000 hospital emergency rooms visits in the United States every year are due to adverse events related to dietary supplements, a new study has found. These visits resulted in an estimated 2,154 hospitalizations annually in the country, where neither safety testing nor government approval is required before the marketing of dietary supplements, said the study published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine. Dietary supplements have increased dramatically in the U.S. market, from 4,000 products in 1994 to more than 55,000 in 2012, the most recent year for which data are publicly available, according to background information in the ...

Heyes (NaturalNews) It's now legal in California — a state that abhors the death penalty for violent criminals, child molesters and rapists — to kill yourself or, more specifically, to request death and actually have it carried out. As reported by MarketWatch, Gov. Jerry Brown said that this law would now give terminally ill people the right to make such requests of doctors who would then do what doctors were never intended to do — take a life. In a signing letter, Brown claimed he consulted with two groups of people who supposedly hold ...

Medscape...SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Using a device designed to close the patent foramen ovale (PFO) in patients who have had a cryptogenic ischemic stroke may reduce their risk of having another stroke, suggests newly released 10-year data from the RESPECT trial. In the extended follow-up's intention-to-treat (ITT) population, those who underwent PFO closure with an Amplatzer PFO occluder (St Jude Medical) poststroke had a 54% relative risk reduction for recurrent cryptogenic stroke vs those assigned to medical management (anticoagulants). Although the original 980-person trial showed superiority of PFO closure over medical management in as-treated and prespecified per-protocol ...

Researchers suggest that pro-oxidants may help to prevent metastasis of cancer. DALLAS, Oct. 16 (UPI) -- While antioxidants may be good for healthy people, researchers found they promote cancer growth in a study with mice. The study, researchers said, echoes some other study results showing cancer patients' tumors actually grew while being treated with antioxidants. The new study suggests cancer patients be treated with pro-oxidants, researchers at the University of Texas said. "We discovered that metastasizing melanoma cells experience very high levels of oxidative stress, which leads to the death of most metastasizing cells," said Dr. Sean Morrison, CRI Director and ...
