Eating Pistachio May positively Impact Gut Environment

Eating pistachios may help alter levels of potentially beneficial bacteria in the gut, according to a new study. The preliminary 16-person study holds promise for supporting digestive health.

The research is the first study of pistachios and almonds and their modulating role on the gut microbiota composition.

“Gut microbiota, or the microbial environment in the gastrointestinal tract, provides important functions to the human host,” said Volker Mai, PhD, lead study author and assistant professor at the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.

“Modifying microbiota towards a ‘beneficial’ composition is a promising approach for supporting intestinal health, with potential effects on overall health, and it appears that pistachios may play a role in this modification.”

Pistachios appear to have prebiotic characteristics; they contain non-digestible food components such as dietary fibre, which remain in the gut and serve as food for naturally occurring bacteria. They also contain phytochemicals that have the potential to modify microbiota composition.

Foods with prebiotic properties may enhance the growth of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract.

To examine this relationship between prebiotics found in pistachios and the gut, researchers conducted a feeding study at the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center in Maryland.

Sixteen healthy individuals were randomly assigned to eat an American-style, pre-planned diet that included either 0 ounces, 1.5 ounces or 3 ounces of pistachios or almonds per day.

Each participant’s diet was calorie-controlled to ensure they neither gained nor lost weight during the intervention. Multiple stool samples were collected throughout the study and analysed for bacterial community composition.

The researchers also quantified the amounts of Lactic Acid Bacteria and Bifidobacteria in the stool, two groups of live microorganisms that reside in the digestive tract and help break down food substances.

After controlling for age, dietary factors and other relevant variables, the researchers observed that after 19 days, people who ate up to 3 ounces of pistachios (about 147 nuts or 2 servings) per day had increased changes in levels of various gut bacteria.

According to the abstract, people who ate pistachios showed an increase in potentially beneficial butyrate-producing bacteria. Butyrate has been shown to be a preferred energy source for colonic epithelial cells and is thought to play an important role in maintaining colonic health in humans.

The difference in gut microbes was stronger in people who ate pistachios rather than almonds.

The researchers used “modern high throughput sequencing” to quantify specific gut bacterial DNA signatures before and after nut consumption.

According to the researchers, this is the first study using this method to observe that pistachios and almonds may have the ability to help change the amounts of bacteria thriving in the gut.

“Fibers and incompletely digested foods, including nuts, that reach the proximal colon provide compounds required for maintaining a diverse microbiota,” said Mai.

“While still in the early stages of research, this study is a promising sign that increasing consumption of nuts, specifically pistachios, provides a novel means to modify the number of the gut’s ‘healthy’ microbiota, with potential health benefits,” Mai added.

Secret to Breast Milk’s Anti-cancer Activity Revealed

English
French
German
The role of breastfeeding for protection against various forms of cancer has become known, but it does not work, it remained a mystery.

Now has a new study, a high level of anti-TNF-cancer-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) in breast milk, which could be a source of anti-tumor activity in breast milk revealed.

The researchers took samples of colostrum, the first milk that the newborn, and mature milk of young mothers. Then the researchers obtained blood samples from healthy women and more ready to feed infant formula.

Colostrum and mature breast milk, formula and blood were then tested all of them to measure their level of TRAIL.

The researchers found that breast milk contains colostrum and 400 - and 100-fold or higher than blood TRAIL. No sign in the formula detected.
"The important role of breastfeeding in the prevention of certain cancers in childhood lymphoblastic leukemia, Hodgkin's disease, and neuroblastoma, it has been shown previously," the researchers wrote.

"However, endogenous soluble TRAIL to explain a strong candidate for the general biological effect of breastfeeding against cancer," he said.

Mothers selected to participate in the study were admissible because they showed no signs of pre-eclampsia, infection or fever, and delivered healthy infants at term.

"To our knowledge this is the first time that TRAIL was measured in colostrum and breast milk. This study showed significantly higher TRAIL in colostrum and breast milk in relation to circulating levels of TRAIL in the serum," conclude the researchers.

The study was published in the Journal of Human Lactation published by SAGE.

Just 15 mins of exercise a day can help smokers kick the butt

Are smokers, who probably easier to quit smoking, researchers say. A team of scientists from the National Institutes of Health Research and the China Medical University in Taiwan, is the hospital of the Study of Health and habits of 434 190 people in Taiwan from 1996 to 2008. Get only 15 minutes of exercise per day, 55 percent more likely to smoke than those who do not leave `t work at all.

They also found that smokers 43 percent less likely to relapse was when they gave up.

The life expectancy was an increase of 5.6 years on average and decreased the risk of death by 43 percent, she laid found settled on the same level as Non smoking.
Even if you don `t quit, the benefits of an active lifestyle are obvious, with life expectancy among smokers receive 30 minutes of exercise per day, with an increase of 3.7 percent.

"Our message is, stop smoking and exercise - no time is the best," said Professor Chi Pang Wen, the data at the World Congress of Cardiology presented in Dubai, Digg.com.

"We want smokers exercising as much as possible," he said, but added that even small amounts of activity, over 15 minutes on foot from time to time - it was better than nothing.

BP Screening May Cut Rate of CVD Events and Death By 3pc

Could reduce a 25 percent increase in the detection of hypertension in 19 developing countries, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) events and deaths that occur each year, up to 3 percent in these countries, a new study has suggested. The study by researchers at Harvard Medical School found that about 900 million people in developing countries have high blood pressure, but only a third are aware of their disease.

In addition, only 100 million of these people are treated, while only 5 percent of the total can be controlled.

In this context, this study designed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of an intervention in order to demonstrate increased from 25 percent in developing countries with a screening instrument in a laboratory, not to people with a treat blood pressure over 140 mmHg systolic and CVD risk more than 20 percent.

The study found that the investigation would be 25 percent of the population in an increase of over 10 percent lead in the rate of appropriate treatment of hypertension in patients at high risk.
The operation would lead to about 3.1 percent fewer cardiovascular events and death. In addition, increasing cost-benefit ratio of screening programs have been clearly observed under a times the GDP per capita in 19 developing countries.

"Strategies can increase the detection of high blood pressure can lead to a significant reduction in deaths due to CVD, at a cost that is acceptable according to WHO recommendations," said Dr. Thomas Gaziano, associate professor of the Faculty of Medicine at Harvard University.

The preliminary data was presented at the World Congress of Cardiology.

Cellular Pathway Linked to Obesity-Related Disorders `Found`

The scientists, led by a researcher of Indian origin say they have found a safe route to the cell diseases such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease and fatty liver is associated.
Tapan Chatterjee and his colleagues at the University of Cincinnati say that their findings could be a potential target for molecular metabolic disease in humans.
We found that the "Delete" genetically the enzyme histone deacetylase 9 (HDAC9) completely protected mice against the health effects of diets high in fat, such as hyperglycemia, liver disease, high cholesterol and fatty acid.
Chatterjee said HDAC9 was found to lead to obesity-induced dysfunction of body fat. "Failure to differentiate from fat cells and store them properly in obesity is excess calories to fatty tissue (fat), inflammation, fatty liver, insulin resistance, diabetes and the associated increased cardiovascular disease," he said.
"We know that dysfunctional fat tissue is the culprit induced behind the obesity disease. Caloric intake promotes HDAC9 down-regulation, the conversion of fat precursor cells allowing fat cells functional, able to efficiently store the excess calories for future use and maintenance of the whole body lipid and the stability of the glucose.
"Unfortunately, in the history of the food HDAC9 at the level in adipose tissue, the transformation that leads to dysfunction of adipose tissue and regulated by the outbreak of diseases such as diabetes, diseases of the liver is blocked, high blood pressure and heart disease," said Chatterjee.
The researchers said previous studies, high HDAC9 expression was found in the fat cells to be guilty of the underlying molecular dysfunctional adipose tissue in obesity for.
"In this study, deletion of the gene HDAC9 completely prevented mice from developing obesity-related chronic diseases of high fat foods mean. These results, the discovery of a molecular potential culprit in the development of obesity-related diseases," said Chatterjee.

Anti-cholesterol Statins Don`t reduce Melanoma Nisk: Study

Despite earlier indications that people have statins to lower cholesterol have a lower risk of developing melanoma, a study of thousands of women found that the popular drug to prevent the deadly skin cancer, nothing to do. The cell experiments, and a test in people have suggested some of the very properties of statins, which may protect against heart disease also help prevent melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.
However, the researchers found by Michael Simon, Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit, took no effect on melanoma among women who took drugs, including atorvastatin and pravastatin for lowering cholesterol.
"I do not think there's nothing here suggests that statins may protect malignant melanoma," said Simon.
The researchers, whose report was published in the journal Cancer, were data from the massive Women's Health Initiative study, which followed 120,000 women over 10 years.

The researchers compared more than 8,800 white women who took a statin that 111 000 women who know and have found 89 cases of melanoma among statin users and 1111 cases among non-users over a period of 12 years.  This led to similar rates of melanoma in each group, nine cases per year per 10,000 women.  The results were the same, irrespective of the nature of the women were taking statins how long it took.  "For primary prevention (melanoma)` I think it put the nail in the coffin of this theory, "said Robert Della Valle, chief of dermatology at the VA Medical Center in Denver, who has not participated in the survey.  The team `s Simon wrote that statins, because there is evidence that skin cells in the lab, it's possible that people who don` t take sufficient concentrations of active ingredients to achieve Unlike a risk of developing melanoma.


Other studies of people with an increased risk of melanoma than the general group of women in the current study could also "give more conclusive results," they added. Based on the evidence that statins can help destroy tumor cells in a petri dish, which diagnosed a way to drugs already in human use could be a melanoma, said Della Valle.
But as far as prevention goes, Simon said, it would be better for resources to things that are known to prevent skin cancer to be devoted to.  Risk factors for melanoma is exposure to ultraviolet rays of the sun or tanning beds, fair skin to burn, moles or other pigmented birthmarks, smoking and family history of cancer prone.  "I think, on the basis of (the results of the study), we must combine our forces to continue education on sun protection: Keep yourself out of use of the noon sun, sun protection," said Simon.

Large amount of Vitamin C intake `may lower BP

Taking large doses of vitamin C can reduce blood pressure moderately, was a new study.

But researchers at Johns Hopkins University, suggested that invite people, except for additions.



"Our research suggests a modest blood pressure-lowering effect of vitamin C supplementation, but before supplements can be used to treat high blood pressure, what we really need more research, the consequences will understand they are recommended," Edgar "Pete" R. Miller III, who led the study said.

About 30 percent of adults in the United States has high blood pressure, or hypertension, a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Successful treatment may include medicines, exercise, weight reduction and dietary changes such as reducing salt intake.

Some experts believe that large amounts of vitamin C, an essential trace element that is found mainly in fruits and vegetables, could reduce the pressure, but randomized controlled trials of dietary intervention, the gold standard of nutrition research - have produced mixed results.

Miller and colleagues evaluated data and analyzes reports from 29 randomized, controlled clinical studies published to date, the systolic and / or diastolic blood pressure values ​​and also compared intake of vitamin C with placebo.

What they found is that the average value of 500 milligrams of vitamin C per day - about five times the recommended daily requirement - reduced blood pressure by 3.84 mmHg in the short term. Among people diagnosed with high blood pressure, was the decline was about 5 millimeters of mercury.

By comparison, Miller said, patients, the blood pressure medications such as ACE inhibitors or diuretics can expect about 10 millimeters of mercury blood pressure reduction.

500 milligrams of vitamin C is the amount in about six cups of orange juice. The recommended daily intake of vitamin C for adults is 90 milligrams.

"Although our review showed only minor effects on blood pressure when the entire U.S. population of the blood pressure dropped to 3 millimeters of mercury, there would be much less a few strokes," said Miller.

The study was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Russia To Ban Smoking Indoors

Russia is on the smoking ban in all enclosed spaces, in an effort to habit that kills 500,000 people every year break, said the Health Ministry. All disputes between the ministries of the ban have been resolved," said a spokesman of the Ministry.

The bill still requires the approval of Parliament. The World Health Organization (WHO) welcomes the bill, describing it as a "breakthrough" for Russia.
But Russia `s Consumers Union criticized the bill, saying that borders do little to discourage the use of snuff, Rossiyskaya Gazeta government newspaper.

More adults smoke in Russia than in any other major country in the world of smoking, the WHO published a report last year concluded.

He said that there were nearly 40 percent of the country's 143 million members of the population smoking.

Smoking-related diseases kill as many as 350,000 to half a million Russians every year, according to Russian officials.

In 2010, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin approved a national program to combat the snuff-developed, the number of adult smokers in a neighborhood that 2015.programme be reduced by the number of adult smokers a quarter will fight cut to 2015.

Intensify Immunisation Efforts: WHO

The World Health Organization (WHO), which is the year of strengthening routine immunization campaigns in South Asia, said that the region has a more aggressive strategy to address the low immunization adopted.
Countries observe World Breastfeeding Week in the world the first dose on Saturday, WHO said Friday.
Because a person who is immune to infectious diseases, vaccines stimulate the body's immune system to protect the person against subsequent infection or disease.
"About 9.7 million children in the region are still not getting the basic vaccines, as the third dose of DTP-containing vaccine. Vaccination is one of the most cost-effective public health interventions," Samlee Plianbangchang, Regional Director for South Asia said."Do not grow up in funding and new initiatives for research and development to go in vain due to lack of perceived benefit. We need to raise public awareness and ensure that the public understand how the vaccine saves lives," said Plianbangchang.
Immunization coverage with DTP3 is currently estimated vaccines in Southeast Asia is still relatively low, 73 percent, according to WHO.
While some countries have national coverage of high (90-95 percent), others find it difficult to provide universal coverage in different states, provinces and districts, which are to establish a variety of obstacles.
The WHO Regional Committee for South-East Asia adopted a resolution in September 2011, of the 11 Member States approved by declaring 2012 as the year of strengthening routine immunization.
"Rate As part of increased efforts, North Korea, Maldives, Myanmar and Timor-Leste, the introduction of the pentavalent vaccine in routine immunization schedule will be. Other countries are now the introduction of other vaccines on evidence collected data on the burden of disease studies and the financial sustainability based "WHO said in a statement.

Could Germs Be Making You Fat

The germs that can live in the intestines help cause obesity and a number of health symptoms that together with him, according to the researchers. It could be that some bacteria causes inflammation and loss of appetite disorders such as inflammatory bowel diseases Crohn's and colitis can cause, the researchers report in the journal Science.
In other words, the seeds that you eat too much, Andrew Gewirtz of Emory University in Atlanta, and colleagues.
"Previous studies have suggested that bacteria can influence how energy is absorbed by the food, but these results show that intestinal bacteria can actually influence appetite," Gewirtz said.
"Why do people eat more?"
"The obesity epidemic is of people who are driven to eat too much, but why do some people eat more?"
Gewirtz said the research suggests that bacteria play a role - perhaps a population of bacteria that thrive because other organisms, the competition has been destroyed by antibiotics, access to clean drinking water and other factors of modern life.
His team ran the results through accident.
"We have mice is examined with colitis," Gewirtz said in a telephone interview.
The team suspects a kind of germ was responsible, then they are transferred mouse embryos into surrogate mothers, do not get infected from their mothers.
Babies are colonized by bacteria and other microorganisms shortly after birth and the composition of these colonies - who still live in the skin and intestines - are very similar to those of the mother.
Colitis was better, but the baby mice became obese and developed metabolic syndrome - a collection of symptoms, high cholesterol, excess fat around the waist, high blood pressure and insulin resistance includes.
Insulin resistance means that the body does not effectively use insulin to the food and Gewirtz believes that can be the key.
Previous studies
The researchers found a new study in the normal mice became obese and lean fat in the diet of mouse intestinal bacteria.
They worked with the team, including Ruth Ley of Cornell University in New York to see what is the role of intestinal bacteria may play.
"What we think, is that the mice are susceptible to intestinal inflammation," Gewirtz said. "If you have a large number of inflammatory signals about, insulin is not working properly."
Weeks of treatment with antibiotics has contributed to and diets.
"If we take the consumption of foods that are generally good, and certainly not obese limit," he said. "They are, however, insulin-resistant."
The identification of microorganisms
Gewirtz team is now working to see if they can identify the microorganisms involved. They are working to see if obese people have unique patterns of intestinal bacteria.
Scientists know that hundreds of species of bacteria live in the intestines and the average person has about 2 kg, worth. Chinese scientists recently in the journal Nature reported that they had found 1,000 different species in the intestines of humans.
Sun obesity was by taking an antibiotic to kill germs that eat people to make offensive treat?
"It is very difficult to replace the bacteria that we have," Gewirtz said. Studies have already shown that it is difficult to treat conditions like Crohn's disease, even with antibiotics months.

The Migraine Zapper that Can Head Off Pain At the Press of a Button

Millions of migraine headache patients can be nipped in the bud by their "zapping the pain of a magnetic field. The size and the weight of a hair dryer, which is kept at the back of the head at the first sign of a migraine.
With a push of a button, turn the two bursts of electricity emits a short in the "electrical storm" in the brain, causing the division pain, flashing lights and blurred vision associated with migraine.
Many of the patients were treated with the device were pain free within two hours.
Migraine is clear at the top of the World Health Organization in the life of the 20 most and affects one in eight men and women.
With medication for migraine is ineffective or not suitable for everyone, the gadget that is small and light enough for use at home could hope for millions of people. , Is evaluated in the UK and will cost around £ 1000.
Research centers in the United States in a technique called single pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation, or STM, in which electrical currents are used by powerful magnets to stimulate brain cells produced are.
More than 160 men and women who suffer from headaches, blurred vision, or with aura in the study.
Half received an STMS gadget at home and half a fictional device that looked almost identical. They were told to treat up to three attacks at the first sign of symptoms, and note how it went.
Nearly 40 percent of which developed the device, of the California company Neuralieve, were free from pain two hours later, compared with 22 percent in the other group.
Those were also more likely to be pain-free 24 and 48 hours later with the gadgets, reports the journal The Lancet Neurology.
The researchers, designers, and other gadgets have financial ties to Neuralieve belong, are not quite sure how it works, but I think that generates electrical impulses that the brain cells to turn over responsibility for peace migraine that.
Dr. Hans-Christoph Diener, a headache expert from Germany, warned that more work was needed to determine the best way to use the device and could trigger seizures in epileptics found.
But he added: "STMS could be a breakthrough in the treatment of migraine with aura.

Cellular ‘Glue’ May Help Suppress Breast Cancer

The killer protein with desmosomes (glue that holds cells together), respectively, involved in breast cancer is clear and provides a new potential target for future treatment, a new study found. Desmosomes attaching adjacent cells together, and these collections are small proteins that are responsible for the mechanical strength of organs and tissues in the body. Desmosomes also believed to help suppress cancer are included. Researchers at Stanford University, UC Berkeley and UC Davis have discovered that the killer protein associated with desmosomes of breast epithelial cells. Dr. Laura Attardi, who led the study, described how the loss of Perp the normal functioning of the affected breast tissue in mice. Perp deficiency causes abnormalities in protein expression in mammary epithelial cells desmosomal" said Dr. Attardi.

Measles Cases Reached 15-Year High in 2011: CDC

Measles cases in the U.S. reached a peak of 15 in 2011, traced, 90 percent of the cases to other countries with lower vaccination rates, reported the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Thursday. There were 222 cases of measles in the United States last year, more than three times the usual number, according to the CDC. There were only about 60 cases per year between 2001 and 2010.
No one has died from the disease in the United States since 2008. But about 20 million people with the virus of measles worldwide each year and about 164 000 die, said Dr. Anne Schuchat, director of the Agency's Health Centre and the National Immunization Respiratory.
The agency said that in 2000, eliminated measles from the crude was, however, continue to arrive in the United States and cases in other countries. There were more than 25 measles cases reported to date imported in 2012, most of them, according to the CDC. The virus can travel the country through foreign visitors or Americans abroad, bringing the disease to enter.
Measles is highly contagious and spreads when an infected person breathing, coughing or sneezing, Schuchat said. The disease can spread before an infected person has developed the outbreak of the virus. "You can just by measles in a room where a person was exposed to the measles, even after the person left the room to get," Schuchat said Thursday.
Measles cases were found in 31 states in 2011. Last year `s scored the highest number of cases since 1996, were registered than 508 cases in the United States.
All but 22 of 222 cases last year, patients who were infected abroad or have contracted the virus from someone who had been abroad CDC. The source for the other 22 cases could not be determined. Most cases have been to Europe, where in some countries, immunization rates lower than those pursued by the United States. Europe has suffered an epidemic in 2011, more than 37,000 reports of measles cases.
France, Italy and Spain are the favorite destinations of American tourists were hit hardest by the said Schuchat.
"It` s are very important for travelers on their way to Europe, to ensure that they are aware of their plans and their children, "he said. Those who had measles or been vaccinated are at risk, is considered by the virus, the CDC said. The CDC recommends that children receive two doses of measles, mumps and rubella after 12-15 months.
Were vaccinated more than 90 percent of American children against measles, the CDC said.
"We don` t have to have measles, a lot, "said Schuchat. "Measles can be prevented. Unvaccinated people put themselves and others at risk of measles and its complications."

Why Electric Takoyaki Pans Are So Cool

If you have electric takoyaki pan, you can be the beginning of a very interesting part, including the kick-off for some very interesting conversations. First, there is the pleasure of explaining what is takoyaki. (Note: If you have friends in disgust, be careful how you deliver the message to break them). If you serve at a party they will have more options on hand for those who do not want to eat squid or for those who are allergic to certain foods. Takoyaki are octopus balls of dough were often specialized agency in the streets of Japan. If you want to make it look authentic, they are used in small paper bags or containers to take home Why Electric Takoyaki Pans Are So Cool.
Why are electric pans easier to use
There are two kinds of takoyaki pans Note: A top model is used to cook takoyaki pan on the burner and the electric version that could be more convenient for most people. Pans Cooking facilities consume much more time and can be used apologetically, because they must be translated to the proper temperature between batches. When the pan is too hot can burn and disintegrate takoyaki. When the pan is not hot enough, they will not cook and taste awful CORRECT.
If the toaster, which is a timer function to let you know when you've reached the right temperature and the takoyaki are REALLY cooked. To make it easy to clean, these pans have a removable power cord. However, most pots are easy enough to clean by wiping with a damp cloth. Be careful not to scratch, what their takoyaki removing the inner or during cleaning.
This is more than just a novelty, they allow you to cook food for others. If you are a creative cook, the takoyaki, you can customize the recipes are other goodies in the house. One person says, does a sweet version with a different type of dough and small pieces of chocolate and nuts. When they were cooked, they are not takoyaki, takoyaki balls sprinkled with melted chocolate or powdered sugar, they were with.
Among the takoyaki outdoors
In addition, you can choose to pan for takoyaki out at a picnic or other get together to cook to take. Could choose a good location for the bread, but you do not use an extension that could allow an overload tripping or be. Practical and fun to use, electric takoyaki pans can be more than a novelty, if you are creative, and they are a great way to snack Japanese in your own home if you are not.
"Now I would like to invite you to gather more useful information to a takoyaki pan at Craig Thornburrow - A writer, a small business owner and big fan of takoyaki "

Photoreceptor Transplant May Help Restore Vision

The transplantation of photoreceptor cells the light sensitive nerve tissue at the back of the eye - could suffer the basis for a new treatment to improve vision in people from degenerative diseases of the eye to restore form, has proposed a new study.
Scientists from the Medical Research Council (MRC) funded the first time showed that the transplantation of photoreceptors can be sensitive in the eyes of mice with low vision light you restore vision.
Researchers at the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology of mice with cells from healthy young people directly in the retina of adult mice with no functional rod photoreceptors are injected.
The loss of photoreceptors is the leading cause of blindness in many human eye diseases such as macular degeneration related to age, retinitis pigmentosa and blindness associated with diabetes.
There are two types of photoreceptors of the eye - rods and cones. The transplanted cells were immature (or parents) of the rod photoreceptors. The stems are particularly important to see in the dark because they are very sensitive to even small amounts of light.
After four to six weeks, the transplanted cells seemed to be almost as good as the normal rod photoreceptor cell and had the connections necessary to transmit visual information to the brain.
The researchers tested the vision of the treated mice in a maze in dim light. Mice that were able to stem costs of using a visual cue to quickly find a hidden platform in the maze, while untreated mice had the hidden platform, by chance, after a thorough exploration of the maze."We have for the first time that transplanted photoreceptor cells can be successfully integrated into existing circuits of the retina and actually improve vision demonstrated. We hope that we will soon be able to replicate this success with the photoreceptors from embryonic stem cells, and finally discharged, the development from human studies, "said Professor Robin Ali, UCL Institute of Ophthalmology, who led the study.
"While there are many steps before this approach will be available for patients, the therapy of thousands of people who have lost their eyesight may result from degenerative diseases of the eye. The results also pave the way procedures for repair of the central nervous system, since it is the incredible brain's ability to re-connect demonstrate a transplanted neurons. "
Dr. Rachael Pearson at UCL Institute of Ophthalmology and lead author, said they are now looking for ways to improve the efficiency of transplantation and cones, the efficiency of transplantation into the retina to degenerate improve greatly increase.
"You must do both in order to develop effective therapies for patients."
"This is a groundbreaking study that will guide future research in a wide range of areas, including vision research, neuroscience and regenerative medicine," said Dr Rob Buckle, director of regenerative medicine in the MRC.
"This is a clear demonstration of the functional recovery of eye damage by cell transplantation is an important stimulus for the development of stem cell therapies for many serious conditions that affect millions of eyes to be treated all over the world," said Dr. Loop.
When the retina is almost but not fully formed - Researchers have previously, that it is possible, transplanted retinal photoreceptors in adult mice, as long as the donor mouse cells shown in a certain stage of development.
In this study we have optimized the procedure for the transplantation of stem cells, increasing the number of cells introduced into recipient mice and were able to restore vision.

Birth Defects More Common in IVF Babies: Study

Health , Babies through certain techniques of infertility treatment are often designed third birth defects than babies who have conceived without additional help from technology, following a review of dozens of studies.But the researchers, whose findings were in the journal Fertility and Sterility published, not to determine why the associated treatment of infertility associated with an increased risk of birth defects or if the technology is still in charge Birth Defects More Common in IVF Babies: Study.
In-vitro fertilization (IVF) - in which the mother's egg is fertilized outside her body and then transferred to the parent company - was available for mothers in grass for more than three decades, numerous studies have analyzed the possible dangers of these techniques.
Hu Zhibin Nanjing Medical University and his colleagues gathered the results of 46 studies that compared the designed number of deformities in children by in vitro fertilization technique for children conceived normally.
Since more than 124,000 children born through IVF or use, in which a single sperm is injected directly into the egg ICSI, the risk of birth defects was 37 percent higher than for other children, they found.
"The children conceived by in vitro fertilization and / or ICSI show a significantly increased risk of birth defects, and there is no difference in risk between children conceived by in vitro fertilization and / or ICSI," they write.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, major malformations occur as deformity of a limb or organ, about three out of 100 babies born in the United States.
Meet an increase of 37 percent in four out of 100 babies would be price.
"(The report) confirms what most people have accepted anyway, so there is an increased risk of birth defects associated with assisted reproductive techniques," William Buckett, a professor at McGill University, said that was not included in the review n.
The increased risk of birth defects was apparent in a wide range of functions and systems of the body, including genitalia, skeletal, digestive and nervous system, the authors report.
The question of why most studies of birth defects found, developed more frequently in IVF babies, however, remains a question.
It `s possible to have the same reasons people to design problems and to seek fertility treatment can affect their risk of having a child with a birth defect.
It's also possible that IVF itself, the. Push and embryo manipulation, or drugs that are associated with artificial fertilization, could be involved
A third theory is that birth defects do not seem to be more common in babies carry through fertility treatments, there `re stronger than other babies follow, Buckett said.
"Couples who had babies born after IVF, is more closely monitored, and therefore can not detect subtle changes that otherwise could not be detected."
As for trying to reduce the risk of birth defects for parents with IVF, Hu said in an e-mail that "it is really too early to find ways to reduce risk, because explaining the reasons, the risks are largely unknown. "

Three Tips to Select the Best Bacopa Supplement

Bacopa herb called brahmi in Ayurvedic medicine in India. Have been using this herb for thousands of disorders of the brain in terms of years. I'll explain how to choose the best supplement Bacopa.Prior to the election of Bacopa good addition, we will see how this plant works to solve problems of the brain. Our brain has billions of cells.
