How man 'lost his penile spines'
Post Date: 2011-03-11 01:20:08 by Tatarewicz
4 Comments
Scientists believe men once had small spines on their genitalia such as those found in chimpanzees, cats and mice. Analysis of the genomes of humans, chimpanzees and macaques indicates that a DNA sequence thought to play a role in the production of these spines have been deleted in humans, but has been preserved in other primates. It suggests another genetic deletion may have led to the expansion of specific regions of the human brain. We're trying to find the molecular basis of being human” End Quote David Kingsley Stanford University The researchers at Stanford, Georgia and Pennsylvania State universities in the US wanted to trace evolutionary changes in human DNA.

The Leeds University team said good nursing and the occasional laugh was a better way to get the body healing than using the latest technology. Hospitals and health clinics are increasingly using low-dose ultrasound for leg ulcers. But the five-year study of 337 patients found it did nothing to speed up recovery, the British Medical Journal reported. 'Hearty chuckle' Instead, lead researcher Professor Andrea Nelson said: "They key to care with this group of patients is to stimulate blood flow back up the legs to the heart. The best way to do that is with compression bandages and support stocking coupled with advice on diet and exercise. "Believe it or not, having a ...

(Xinhuanet) -- A U.S. study finds that detecting the levels of nicotine in men’s toenails may hold clues to the risk of developing lung cancer, according to media reports Tuesday. The study divided men with smoking history into two groups -- a group involving 210 men developed lung cancer between 1988 and 2000 and the other involving 630 who did not develop lung cancer. The toenail clippings from both groups were used to assess the men's tobacco exposure over last year. The results show men with high levels of nicotine in their toenails were about 3.5 times more likely to develop lung cancer than those with lower levels of nicotine, regardless of their smoking history. They ...
Conscientiousness - key to long life

Who tends to live longer: The happy-go-lucky type or the plodding worrier? The slacker or the workaholic? The never-married female or the divorced male? A study of 1,500 people over the course of eight decades found that some of our common notions about longevity are dead wrong. The key factor leading to a long life? Not cheerfulness, not marriage. It’s conscientiousness. “This is the first study to ever follow people over such a long time period and gather this type of data,” says research psychologist Leslie Martin, co-author of the new book The Longevity Project. In 1921, Stanford University psychologist Lewis Terman began studying a sample of 1,500 bright boys and ...

Plastic food container puzzle

Most plastic products, from sippy cups to food wraps, can release chemicals that affect the human body, according to a study in Environmental Health Perspectives. The study found these chemicals even in products that didn't contain BPA, a compound in certain plastics that's been widely criticized because it mimics chemicals found in the human body. PlastiPure manufactures water bottles that it says have no estrogenic chemicals. Many plastic products are now marketed as BPA-free, and manufacturers have begun substituting other chemicals whose effects aren't as well known. But it's still unclear whether people are being harmed by BPA or any other so-called estrogenic ...
Heart diesease indicated by 13 genes

Doctors have identified 13 genes that appear to increase the risk of heart disease, although how the genes do it remains a mystery. Researchers from Canada, Europe, the U.K. and the U.S. on Sunday revealed the results of a massive international study -- one of the largest ever of its kind -- that more than doubled the number of genes known to play a role in heart disease. "What this means is that there are other causes of heart disease that we were totally unaware of until we identified these genes," said Dr. Robert Roberts, president and CEO of the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, one of nearly 100 research centres that conducted the study. Scientists sifted through the ...

(Xinhua) -- The California Department of Public Health on Friday announced a recall of hazelnuts which might be contaminated by E. coli bacteria. The department said it ordered the recall after seven people fell sick with E. coli bacteria from eating tainted hazelnuts. The seven illnesses include one in Michigan, three in Minnesota and three in Wisconsin, said Dr. Howard Backer, interim director of the department. The hazelnuts were distributed by DeFranco & Sons, a Los Angeles company, said the department. After being notified of the contamination, the company is voluntarily recalling the nuts, the department said. The hazelnuts affected by the recall were sold under the brand ...
Cancer rise and sperm quality fall 'due to chemicals'

Sperm quality significantly deteriorated and testicular cancers increased over recent years, a Finnish study says. The study in the International Journal of Andrology looked at men born between 1979 and 1987. The University of Turku research suggests environmental reasons, particularly exposure to industrial chemicals, may be behind both trends. A UK expert said chemicals may affect the development of male babies. Finnish men were studied as they have previously been shown to have some of the highest sperm counts in the world. But scientists were never sure if this was because of their genetics or because they were exposed to fewer harmful chemicals. 'Danger chemicals' The ...

Cubans are proud of their longevity, and the sharp mind of Fidel Castro is a prime example. Certainly the totally free and complete medical care and stress free environment contribute greatly to length and quality of life, as does the the availability of community recreational, cultural and educational programs. A family doctor can be found on every block. A methodical life with varied food habits, which does not exclude tobacco, coffee or sex, would be the "secret formula" to achieve satisfactory longevity, according to a recent study of more than 50 people over a hundred years old in Cuba.

Passive smoking Duration of exposure is an important factor Exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke as a child or adult appears to increase a woman's risk of breast cancer, experts say. Their study of nearly 80,000 women found breast cancer risk was a third higher among those who had clocked up decades of passive smoking. The researchers say their "suggestive" findings in the British Medical Journal need confirming with more studies. Meanwhile, health experts emphasised the importance of smoking cessation. The study suggests the earlier you start smoking and the longer you continue to do so, the higher your chance of developing breast cancer” End Quote Dr Rachel ...
Why do some foods (like beans) give you intestinal gas?
Post Date: 2011-03-01 07:42:02 by Tatarewicz
0 Comments
Flatulence (intestinal gas) is usually the result of many combined factors-not simply a food all by itself. Yet, sometimes flatulence can be the result of a food that is mismatched for our metabolism. Gas resulting from the lactose in cow's milk would be a good example in this category. Some individuals cannot break down milk sugar (lactose) very effectively because their bodies do not contain sufficient quantities of the enzyme, lactase, which is needed to break down milk sugar. Instead of being enzymatically broken down into simpler sugars (glucose and galactose) and then absorbed, milk sugar may end up passing most of the way through the intestine until bacteria in the lower ...

Mothers may be more likely to pass down Alzheimer’s disease to their children than fathers, a finding that may help identify patients earlier, researchers from the University of Kansas School of Medicine said. Healthy older adults with no cognitive problems whose mothers had Alzheimer’s disease had more brain shrinkage than those who had a father or no parent with the disease, according to research published today in the journal Neurology. About 5.3 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease and the number may increase to as much as 16 million by 2050, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. Age and family history are the two biggest risk factors for developing the ...
