Medscape... NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - About 3% of apparently healthy individuals harbor loss of function (LOF) mutations associated with recognizable phenotypes in themselves or their families, according to results from 951 participants from the ClinSeq study, a large-scale genome sequencing pilot study. "These data show that we can begin to imagine what predictive genomic or precision medicine could look like," Dr. Leslie G. Biesecker, from the National Human Genome Research Institute, Bethesda, Maryland, told Reuters Health by email. "We have taken a subset of genes and a subset of mutations in such genes and identified that 3% of an apparently healthy group had ...

ScienceAlert... People try to pin a lot of things on when you're born (personality, favourite colour, ideal careers), usually with no scientific backing whatsoever. But a new study has found compelling evidence to suggest that the month you're born actually can affect your risk of developing 55 different diseases, including asthma and heart disease. A team of data scientists from Columbia University Medical Center in the US looked at the medical records of more than 1.7 million people and found that the healthiest month to be born in the Northern Hemisphere is May, while the month associated with the most diseases is October, closely followed by November. But before all you ...

Dementia: Think vascular

Medscape... Usually when we think of dementia, we tend to think of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Drug companies have spent two decades trying to tweak the products of the apo E4 gene to treat AD, without success. But it doesn't tend to be appreciated that about one-half of all dementia is vascular dementia, the product of small vessel disease. The importance of vascular dementia partly has to do with the fact that - compared to Alzheimer's disase - the risk factors for vascular dementia are more identifiable, more preventable, and more easily caused or worsened by medications, especially those dopamine blockers that cause or worsen metabolic syndrome. A recent large ...
MoleScope helps people monitor moles for melanoma

BURNABY, British Columbia, June 9 (UPI) -- A new device and smartphone app called MoleScope may help doctors catch melanoma in patients earlier by allowing them to receive high-quality images of moles to better monitor them over time. Using a mini microscope that attaches to a smartphone, the app takes pictures magnified up to 10 times and uploads them to a cloud-based system where doctors can access and review them without patients needing to schedule an appointment and come to an office. "For patients who are at a higher risk of skin cancer, it makes sense to monitor them this way, and it seems to be user-friendly," Dr. Jason Rivers, a Vancouver dermatologist and a medical ...

Thieving agents, racial profiling and excessive pat-downs haven't made us safer. Last August, Transportation Security Administration chief John Pistole attacked an article I wrote, stating that it was "Misleading, inaccurate and unfairly disparages the dedicated (TSA) workforce. … We will not sit back and allow misinformation and conjecture to malign our employees." Pistole resigned last December — in time to miss the uproar this week about TSA agents failing to detect 95% of the weapons and bombs smuggled past them by Inspector General testers. While Pistole is leading the PR pushback to absolve his former agency, the I.G. report is the latest confirmation that ...

Susan, a 4-year-old Holstein from Prairieland in Nebraska, carries only the A2 protein. Most dairy cows carry both the A1 and A2 proteins - and some scientists believe it's the A1 protein that upsets the bellies of some milk drinkers. Prairieland Dairy A new of brand of milk arrives at some California grocery stores this month as its makers pin their market hopes on a controversial theory that one tiny protein may be the culprit behind some people's dairy-induced tummy troubles. The beverage is called a2 Milk — a direct nod to a single protein, called A2, now fueling scientific debate. Pasteurized and free of growth hormones and antibiotics, a2 Milk already is filling the ...

24 Facts That Prove That America Is A Nation Of Slobs By Michael Snyder, on May 8th, 2012 What would our founders say if they could see us now?

Study: Cat Parasite Tied To Schizophrenia, Mental Illnesses

Coming into close contact with cats can spread a parasite called Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) – also dubbed the “cat poop parasite” – which are linked to schizophrenia and other mental disorders that affect humans. The cat-carried parasite is the most common in developed countries and can infect any warm- blooded species, according to the Schizophrenia Bulletin. Although most humans don’t suffer any symptoms from the widespread parasite, it can cause the illness T. gondii, which is linked to weeks of flu-like symptoms, blindness and even death, CBS News reports. Two new studies have now linked the T. gondii parasite to increased rates of mental illness in cat ...
Do you have apple cider vinegar in your medicine chest?

If you don’t have apple cider vinegar in your medicine chest — or in your health arsenal — it should be there. And you should take a dose daily “to keep the doctor away.” It is one of nature’s miracle “drugs.” It’s certainly a much better preventative than all the chemical drugs Big Pharma can cook up to poison you with. How does it work? It is high in acetic acid, which has proven potent biological effects. It is made in a two-step process similar to how alcohol is made. In fact, the word “vinegar” in French means “sour wine.” In the first step, apples are crushed and exposed to yeast, which ferments the sugars and turns ...
Poor lifestyle choices can be passed onto future generations through DNA

New research has shown for the first time that traces of our poor lifestyles, environmental stressors and trauma can be passed down to future generations through our DNA, potentially making our children more prone to conditions such as mental illness and obesity. Scientists already knew that significant traumatic events such as famine could leave their mark on future generations, but this is the first time they’ve been able to observe the mechanism by which this happens. And they've found that, contrary to previously assumed, our genetic slate doesn't get completely wiped clean for our offspring. Our DNA is constantly being altered by our environment through what are known ...
Daily sugar-sweetened beverages linked to fatty liver disease

BOSTON, June 5 (UPI) -- Drinking a sugar-sweetened beverage every day, including sodas, other carbonated beverages and fruit juices, can increase the risk for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, or NAFLD, according to a new study. Although the study, conducted at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging (USDA HRNCA) at Tufts University, shows a relationship between sugar consumption from beverages and NAFLD, researchers said there has not been enough work done in this area to say sugar is definitely a cause of the disease. "Although there is much more research to be done," said Nicola McKeown, Ph.D., a scientist in the Nutritional Epidemiology Program at the ...

LOS ANGELES, June 5 (UPI) -- Researchers decreased cell resistance to the chemotherapy drug Cisplatin for head and neck cancers using a synthetic version of the cooking spice turmeric, or curcumin, the results of a two-year study show. The synthetic curcumin has been shown to have a modest effect on cancer cell death in 20 studies of human cancers, including colon, pancreatic, breast, prostate cancers, and multiple myelomas, leading researchers to test it on head and neck cancers. Using a first-of-its-kind liposome to deliver the curcumin to cancer cells, the study found the spice was effective at killing Cisplatin-resistant head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC).

ANN ARBOR, Mich., June 5 (UPI) -- A University of Michigan study of nearly 5,000 people found that experiencing a stroke alters memory and thinking speed as if the person had aged eight years overnight. Researchers were looking for an explanation for cognitive decline in older black people being about twice that of non-Hispanic white people, however in the case of strokes the decline is the same. "As we search for the key drivers of the known disparities in cognitive decline between blacks and whites, we focus here on the role of 'health shocks' such as stroke," said UM Medical School assistant professor Deborah Levine, M.D., in a press release.
