Doing Crossword Puzzles Helps Sharpen Memory Better Than Computer Games

Researchers have discovered that crossword puzzles help to better sharpen memory in older individuals suffering from mild cognitive impairment, in comparison to computer games. While crossword puzzles are popularly used, no research has systematically studied them and their association with mild cognitive impairment until now. Mild cognitive impairment is known to heighten the risk of an individual developing dementia. The study was led by Professor D.P. Devenand of Columbia University and Professor Murali Doraiswamy, director of the Neurocognitive Disorders Program at Duke University School of Medicine. For their study, the researchers recruited more than 100 participants suffering from mild cognitive…

Research Suggests That Gum Disease May Cause Alzheimer’s

Alzheimer’s is a common type of dementia that usually starts with mild memory loss before progressing to loss of the ability to carry on a conversation with another person. Recent studies have found that the disease, which affects parts of the brain that control memory, thought and language, is actually an infection. One such study suggested that gum disease, which starts as bacterial growth in an individual’s mouth, may be the bacterial culprit behind this degenerative condition. This comes after scientists discovered Porphyromonas gingivalis in the brains of deceased individuals who suffered from Alzheimer’s. Porphyromonas gingivalis is a pathogen that…

Teens Suffering from Concussions Could Benefit from Screen Time

As mobile phones, social media and apps have taken center stage in our lives, several experts have become increasingly worried about the amount of time the average person spends looking at screens.

Gen Z, the generation that grew up with the internet, spends up to nine hours per day looking at screens. But while studies show that too much screen time can have negative effects on adolescents and…

Research Recommends Reduction of Pediatric Brain Irradiation During Cancer Treatment

According to Cancer.org, slightly more than 10,000 children under the age of 15 will be diagnosed with pediatric cancer by the end of the year. While more than 80% of children with cancer in high-income countries such as the United States are treated successfully, data shows that these cancer treatments are often a double-edged sword. A recent study published in the “Journal of the National Cancer Institute” revealed that pediatric cancer patients experience significant premature aging compared to counterparts in the same age group who did not have pediatric cancer. Cancer treatments such as abdominal radiation and chemotherapy were found…

Research Discovers That Survivors of Pediatric Cancer Are Prone to Premature Aging

Every year, an estimated 400 children and adolescents aged 19 and under are diagnosed with cancer. Leukemia, brain tumors, solid tumors such as neuroblastomas and lymphomas tend to be the most common types of pediatric cancer, with more than 80% of patients in high-income nations such as the United States receiving treatment. Even though pediatric cancer treatment can be quite cost intensive, childhood cancer can generally be cured via surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and generic medicines. However, a recent study has revealed that patients who survive pediatric cancer aren’t completely out of the woods even after they are in remission. The…

Researchers Look to AI to Improve Organ Transplant Processes

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a relatively novel technology with the potential to revolutionize not just the IT industry but a whole slew of sectors. This technology leverages the ability of computer algorithms to analyze enormous data sets and learn from features or patterns in the data. AI technology is now being deployed in various industries, including the medical field. A few years ago, researchers found that AI systems could diagnose eye diseases as accurately as trained physicians. Earlier this year, further research also revealed that AI and machine learning could be used to diagnose heart diseases by analyzing the network…
