Research Shows That Healthy Sleep Patterns Decrease Heart Failure Risk

According to new research that was reported in “Circulation,” the American Heart Association journal, adults who had healthy sleeping patterns had a lower risk of heart failure. This was in comparison to grown-ups who had unhealthy sleep patterns. Healthy sleeping patterns are characterized by waking up in the morning, sleeping seven to eight hours every day and having no excessive daytime sleepiness, snoring or frequent insomnia. Emerging evidence shows that sleep problems may have a hand in heart failure development. Heart failure affects over 26 million individuals globally. The observational study looked into the relationship between heart failure and healthy…

Eating Early Has No Impact on Weight-Loss Efforts

According to ongoing research that was presented during a recent virtual meeting at the American Heart Association Scientific Session, it was discovered that limiting meals to early in the day didn’t affect the weight of overweight adults who have diabetes or prediabetes. Associate professor of epidemiology, nursing and medicine at Johns Hopkins, Nisa M. Maruthur, the study’s author, stated that researchers had questioned the possibility of whether the time that an individual ate during the day affected how their body stored and used energy. Prior studies had not controlled the number of calories people consumed. It had therefore not been…

New Genetic Analysis Technique Can Predict Possibility of Cancer Treatment Side Effects

Using a model developed at the Linköping University in Sweden, scientists can now predict the risk of any adverse effects on the bone marrow and blood status of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. This study may make it possible to utilize genetic analysis in identifying patients who have a high probability of side effects. The research was reported in “npj Systems Biology and Applications.” Health practitioners find it difficult to strike a balance between not causing severe side effects during cancer treatment while simultaneously trying to eliminate as many tumor cells as possible. Tumor cells are known to grow in an…

Eating Too Many Eggs Increases Risk of Developing Diabetes

Globally, some of the most popular breakfast food includes eggs, be it boiled, poached or scrambled. However, new research shows that excessive consumption of eggs may increase your risk of diabetes. The longitudinal study, which was conducted by researchers from the University of South Australia in collaboration with Qatar University and China Medical University, was carried out between 1991 and 2009. This was the first study to evaluate the consumption of eggs in a large number of Chinese adults. The study discovered that individuals who consumed one or more eggs on a regular basis, which is equivalent to 50 grams,…

California Researchers Develop Face Mask That Can Kill Viruses Once Exposed to the Sun

A team of Californian researchers has developed a cotton fabric that can release oxygen species that are reactive (ROS). The fabric does this when exposed to daylight, which kills microbes that are attached to the cotton fabric’s surface. The fabric is also washable, making it reusable and safe for its wearer. This research was reported in “The American Chemical Society Applied Materials & Interfaces” journal. This news comes at a time when face masks being used are made from different cloth materials that filter tiny aerosol particles like those that are released by a sneeze or a cough. This leaves…

Logistical Concerns Arise Over Extremely Low Temperatures Needed for COVID-19 Vaccine Storage

A few days ago, Pfizer announced that it had developed a coronavirus vaccine that had proven to be 90% effective in combating the virus in trials. However, to maintain the vaccine’s efficacy, the vaccine needs to be stored and transported at temperatures below -70º Celsius. An infectious disease and vaccine specialist, Professor Gordon Dougan, from the University of Cambridge, explains that most vaccines are usually stored around or at 4° Celsius. This, he says, is an easy temperature requirement for refrigerated transport. However, the temperature requirements for the coronavirus vaccine, which are extreme, suggest that refrigeration methods that have been…

Physical Fitness in Children is More Important Than BMI

A new study by the University of Georgia has shown that while grown-ups exercise mostly to lose weight, children should exercise to build endurance, or how well their bodies can handle long periods of exercise. Physical education for children should be centered on motivating children to be active, educating them on the benefits of exercise and improving their physical skills. According to the authors of the study, strengthening children’s cardiorespiratory endurance should be the main goal in exercise for children. Even children who are overweight can still achieve the recommended one hour of moderate to vigorous physical activity every day.…
