People with heart disease have a lower risk of heart attack and strokes if they eat a Mediterranean-style diet

Mediterranean dietary pattern has been associated with lower cardiovascular (CV) mortality. People with heart disease have a lower risk of heart attack and strokes if they eat a Mediterranean-style diet. After recruiting more than 15,000 people with heart disease from 39 countries, researchers scored their diets for Mediterranean elements such as eating plenty of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, fish, some alcohol, and some meat. They also scored diets for Western diet elements, suc...

Engineers At Caltech and ETH Zurich have Created Artificial Skin That “Feels” Temperature Changes

A team of engineers and scientists at Caltech and ETH Zurich have developed an artificial skin capable of detecting temperature changes using a mechanism similar to the one used by the organ that allows pit vipers to sense their prey. The material could be grafted onto prosthetic limbs to restore temperature sensing in amputees. It could also be applied to first-aid bandages to alert health professionals of a temperature increase—a sign of infection—in wounds. A paper about the new materia...

Theoretical Physicists and Astrophysicists research suggest entire universe may be an illusion and reality is a 2D hologram

The holographic principle is a principle of string theories and a supposed property of quantum gravity that states that the description of a volume of space can be thought of as encoded on a lower-dimensional boundary to the region—preferably a light-like boundary like a gravitational horizon.   This could be thought of as rather like watching a 3D film in a movie theater. We see the pictures as having height, width, and depth—when in fact it all originates from a flat 2D screen. ...

Keio University Japan and Washington University are researching anti ageing drug ‘nicotinamide mono nucleotide’ (NMN)

Much of human health hinges on how well the body manufactures and uses energy. For reasons that remain unclear, cells’ ability to produce energy declines with age, prompting scientists to suspect that the steady loss of efficiency in the body’s energy supply chain is a key driver of the aging process. Now, scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have shown that supplementing healthy mice with a natural compound called NMN can compensate for this loss of energy prod...

NASA Research Reveals Biological Clock Misalignment Effects on Sleep for Astronauts

Since the beginning of the space program, astronauts have dealt with the realities of spaceflight from microgravity in weak muscles and space radiation, to sleep deprivation and disorientation. Both before and during astronauts’ flights, changes in biological clocks, or circadian rhythms, contribute to sleep deficiency and increase the use of sleep-promoting medications. For most people, the circadian rhythm is a little longer than 24 hours. On Earth, our daily exposure to light from the sun ...

Cardiff University research suggests genes responsible for extinguishing fearful memories are mutated in schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is an illness affecting feelings and behaviour, and has long been considered to originate from abnormalities in the formation of associative memories. However, a new study published in Molecular Psychiatry, suggests that only a specific component of associative memories is affected in schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by abnormal social behavior and failure to understand what is real. Common symptoms include false beliefs, unclear or confused thinking...

Fadel Adib and his team at ‘MIT Signal Kinetics’ research group is working to build smart environments to monitor our vital signs remotely, without instrumenting our bodies.

Today’s health sensors (which monitor breathing, heartbeats, steps, etc.) require their users to wear them on their bodies. In contrast, our technologies can monitor human health without requiring the user to wear any device on his/her body. To do so, MIT Signal Kinetics research group captured and analyzed wireless signals reflected off the human body; then use these reflected signals to extract breathing and heartbeats without any physical contact with the human body. Team is currently explori...
