[ad_1] Recent research from the Harvard’s School of Public Health suggests that monounsaturated fats from plant or animal sources may not be made equal. According to research from the United States Department of Agriculture, dietary monounsaturated fats make up 12% of the average American’s total energy intake. But apart from being an energy source, monounsaturated
Tongue bumps are common, and there are many possible causes, including injuries, allergies, and infections. Although tongue bumps can feel strange and may cause concern, they are usually harmless. Some people with bumps on their tongue may worry about cancer, but oral cancers are relatively rare. According to the American Cancer Society, around 50,000 people
[ad_1] Researchers in Ontario analysed the data of 40,000 patients to establish a safe maximum waiting time for hip fracture surgery. Almost all hip fractures need to be repaired by hip fracture surgery. Hip fractures can occur in people of any age, but the elderly are more prone to this type of injury. Several factors
[ad_1] Scientists developed distinct formulas to estimate body fat percentage in men and women based on simple body circumference measurements. The most widely used and accepted measure of body fat and weight is the body mass index (BMI). This measure, however, is flawed and sometimes does not produce an accurate depiction of health. Recently, clinicians
[ad_1] In a recent study, researchers reviewed existing data to determine if the consumption of sweet food influences the desire to consume more sweet food. High-sugar diets can have serious health implications, and health organizations are placing an emphasis on reducing sugar intake. The sweet flavour can induce feelings of pleasure and satisfaction and may
[ad_1] A recent study compared the use of MRI to guide targeted biopsies with the standard diagnostic tool for detecting prostate cancer in men. The ideal diagnostic method for detecting cancer is one that is minimally invasive, has few side effects, and a high rate of identifying patients who would benefit from treatment. Typically, men

[ad_1] Researchers in the United States determine the differences between sleep deficiency and sleepiness on the risk of a car crash. Many people suffer from sleep deficiency, defined as an insufficient amount of sleep. Possible causes for sleep deficiency include a habitually short sleep duration and sleep apnea. A symptom of sleep deficiency is excessive

New research suggests that intermittent fasting may raise insulin levels, damage pancreatic cells, and increase the amount of abdominal fat. Intermittent fasting may be a popular diet, but it may also harm our metabolic health, suggests a new study. The so-called intermittent fasting diet has been gaining more and more traction among people who want
[ad_1] Nie and colleagues investigate whether clicky hips are a potential symptom of hip dysplasia in British infants. A clicky hip in babies has historically been considered a sign of the underlying pathological condition of hip dysplasia. The hip joint is a ball and socket joint, as the femur, or thigh bone, contains the “ball”
[ad_1] Commerical hair dyes contain a number of chemicals that may be toxic and carcinogenic. A new study published in the journal Chem assessed the effectiveness of a non-toxic carbon-based hair dye called graphene oxide. Hair color is determined by two types of melanin that provide pigmentation to hair follicles: eumelanin and phenomelanin. In general,

Both transient ischemic attacks and minor strokes only last a few hours and rarely have any enduring effects. But they can lead to a major stroke, which is much more dangerous and may impact an individual’s health more severely. “How can this best be prevented?” researchers ask. An international trial suggests that aspirin and anticoagulants
[ad_1] Sleep is important for overall health, and in patients with type 2 diabetes, short nighttime sleep duration can interfere with their ability to control blood sugar. Researchers determine whether midday naps are able to reverse the negative effects of short nighttime sleep duration in patients with type 2 diabetes. Diet, physical activity, and sleep
