Scientists have responded to this question. It turns out that an excessive fondness for sausage, sausages and other processed meats, as well as the e...

Supplementation with whey or casein in combination with physical activity is associated with significant improvements in the readings of blood pressure in young women with obesity and hypertension , according to a new study. Scientists from the University of Florida, USA, reported that the milk protein casein supplements sports training overweight women and helps reduce aortic systolic blood pressure. In particular, taking whey and casein was associated with a reduction in brachial systolic blood pressure by 5 points, and aortic systolic blood pressure by 7 points. Benefits of dairy products for systolic blood pressure has long been known. Thus, the use of dairy product may be an additional tool in the prevention or treatment of hypertension . Scientists explain that the aortic blood pressure, and not brachial blood pressure is considered to be the best predictor of cardiovascular benefits of the intervention using antihypertensives. "To our knowledge, our study is the...

Phenomenal ability of the body of one patient - hope for doctors and patients to defeat HIV. American researchers now hope by studying the patient's unique immunity to create a vaccine against HIV. A patient suffering from a rare combination of diseases - systemic lupus and HIV - has helped scientists to develop the key ideas for new strategies against AIDS / HIV. In an article published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, the research team from the Institute Dartmouth College Duke University and Stanford University described in detail how the immune system of this patient produces the desired type of neutralizing antibodies - they will become the basis for developing a new vaccine. Systemic lupus erythematosus or SLE is a disease in which the immune system attacks its own cells and tissues of the body. "For years we were looking for, but have now found a single person with a unique combination of SLE and chronic HIV infection. It was necessary to determine how the...

One of the main reasons for the manufacturer of e-cigarettes in their defense is the claim that these tobacco products allegedly significantly reduce the risk that their consumer tries real cigarettes. But scientists from the United States found that it is just a myth. Set of arguments fans a new method of administration of nicotine in the body and, of course, manufacturers of e-cigarettes are not very rich, but it all boils down to two main points.

Second, the ease of administration of nicotine in the body with the help of electronic cigarettes allegedly never force them to go to the ordinary consumer "rough" smoking - this is an obstacle to replenish the army at the expense of youth smokers.

When the experiment was over, it was found that the risk of developing cancer in mice who ate one serving of apples a day, up 57% from consuming 2 servings - 50%, while those eating 3 servings - 23%.

Thanks to a group of researchers at the University of California Los Angeles (The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) published an extremely interesting application for Google Glass. Researchers from the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Samuel Henry (Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science) created an app for Google Glass and server platform with which users can perform instant wireless diagnostic tests to check various diseases and health conditions. In principle, the owners of Google Glass can take photos of rapid diagnostic tests - a litmus test for which fits fluid or blood, and then they change color, indicating the presence of you of any disease, including HIV, malaria or cancer. Images can be uploaded to the server, developed by UCLA, where the analysis takes a couple of seconds. "This revolutionary technology combined the useful aspects of the immune analysis and laptop. With this application you can real-time monitor the state ...

Biological organism is most susceptible to the effects of caffeine only a few hours after waking up, say U.S. neuroscientists, foreign media reported. "The maximum effect is achieved by the interaction of caffeine that substance with hormone cortisol regulating human biological clock," - explains neuroscientist at the University of Maryland (USA), Stephen Miller. About 7 to 9 am cortisol is at its peak, thanks to this man wakes up in the morning and is able to act consciously. If you drink coffee after waking up when the level of cortisol in the body and so is high enough, develop a tolerance to caffeine, the effectiveness of its impact is reduced.
