On Friday Sept. 18, it was discovered the German automobile company had doctored U.S. and European emission tests in its diesel cars, causing a steep decline of the company's image and legal standing. BERLIN, Sept. 26 (UPI) -- Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk weighed-in on the recent Volkswagen diesel emissions scandal, saying it proves the limits of using fossil fuels. During a press conference at the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy conference in Berlin this week, Musk was asked whether the scandal -- which affects more than 11 million vehicles -- causes concern people will lose faith in green technology. "I think it's the opposite," Musk said. "What ...

If you're like most people, you've probably already used or are using antibiotics for your MRSA or Staph infection. The word "antibiotic" literally means "against life". Antibiotics can kill many different bacteria, NOT only the bacteria causing your infection. Diarrhea is a common side-effect of losing too many of your good or healthy bacteria inside your bowels. Antibiotics and Your Immune System Did you know that 60% of your immune system is located in your intestines ? It is crucial that you take care of your intestinal health. Otherwise, you'll be much more prone to recurring MRSA and Staph infections. Unfortunately, antibiotics can be toxic to other ...
Beet Juice Boosts Muscle Power in Heart Patients

(HealthDay News) -- Beet juice, with its high concentration of nitrates, may help boost muscle strength among heart patients, a small study has found. Nitrates are processed into nitric oxide by the body, which helps relax blood vessels and improve metabolism. Dietary nitrate, found in beets and leafy greens like spinach, has been shown to boost muscle performance in elite athletes. Based on studies of elite athletes, especially cyclists who use beet juice to boost performance, researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis tested the benefits of dietary nitrate among nine people with heart failure, a condition that causes the heart to gradually lose its pumping ...

ScienceAlert... Cancer cells are cells that cheat death - rather than growing old and dying, as healthy cells do, they continue to grow and divide, changing their metabolism to continue proliferating throughout the body. It's that proliferation of malignant cells that gives rise to cancers and tumours, and the challenge for medical researchers is to prevent this abnormal behaviour from occurring. One way cancer cells fuel their growth and expansion is by increasing their glucose intake, and researchers are now looking at the possibility of shutting this down to combat their spread. A recent study has identified the PARP 14 protein as being responsible for the additional glucose ...
Brain-computer connection helps paralyzed man walk

IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 24 (UPI) -- A man's ability to walk using direct brain control of his legs was restored after years of being paralyzed, researchers reported in a proof-of-concept study. The system uses electrical signals from the man's brain, sending them to electrodes placed on his knees, allowing him to voluntarily move his legs. Previous research has shown paralysis patients can be made to move their legs with noninvasive treatments, however this study used virtual reality training and a harness system, rather than an exoskeleton to help the man support his weight. "Even after years of paralysis the brain can still generate robust brain waves that can be harnessed ...

Medscape... NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk of dementia, especially in younger individuals, according to results from the Rotterdam Study. "When we started this study, we hypothesized that the hazard of atrial fibrillation would be higher with longer exposure, but to find such a strong exposure-time association in younger participants was striking," said Dr. Frank J. Wolters from Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. "It emphasizes that prevention of dementia doesn't start when people report to their physician with mild memory complaints, but years, if not decades before, by identifying those at ...

Medscape... NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Phosphorus-based processed food additives have useful properties including bactericidal action, but might alter bone and mineral metabolism, according to human and animal studies. The findings, Dr. Orlando M. Gutierrez told Reuters Health by email, "suggest that the high amount of phosphorus-based food additives in processed foods may have unintended consequences for cardiovascular and bone health. This should inform current efforts to determine the safety of phosphorus additives in the food supply." In a paper online August 31 in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, Dr. Gutierrez of the University of Alabama at ...

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22 (UPI) -- Most people will experience at least one incorrect medical diagnosis in their lifetime, resulting in negative health outcomes, psychological distress and financial cost, according to a new government report. Researchers at the Institute of Medicine, part of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, said in the congressionally mandated report that medical diagnosis is a complex process that requires greater transparency in order to improve. Because diagnostic errors are generally discovered in retrospect, researchers said more work needs to be done to improve medical teams and find ways to avoid errors that can be life-threatening in the ...

ScienceAlert... Researchers in Australia have developed a patch lined with microscopic needles that can quickly and painlessly detect disease-carrying proteins in the blood, potentially replacing the need for needle-based blood samples, and time spent waiting for lab analysis. Based on a similar patch that could one day deliver injection-free vaccines through the skin, the diagnostic nanopatch has been designed to identify diseases such as malaria and dengue fever, which are prevalent in remote areas and developing regions where people might not have the resources to routinely draw blood and analyse it. "The concept here is that we could just put a patch on the skin and this could ...
