Our Reader Score [Total: 0 Average: 0] Researchers from Italy discuss the connection between exercise and atrial fibrillation, and the implications on physical activity recommendations. Atrial fibrillation is an irregular, often rapid, heartbeat that can increase the risk of stroke, heart failure, and other heart-related problems. Symptoms of atrial fibrillation may include heart palpitations, shortness
Heart attacks are responsible for 20% of deaths in Europe. Very little is known regarding the day-to-day variation in air pollution and the effects it may have on heart attacks. A research team in Germany evaluates the risk in a multivariable study. Twenty percent of all deaths in Europe are attributed to acute myocardial infarction,

A recent review looked at six studies of differing lengths to determine which psychological interventions improved mental well-being. Long-term conditions affect a growing proportion of the population. Since exposure to risks rises significantly with age, it is estimated that individuals above the age of 75 are five times more likely to experience at least one

A recent study investigated whether chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy alone would be effective for women diagnosed with high-risk endometrial cancer. Endometrial cancer, also known as uterine cancer, is a type of cancer that begins in the endometrium, which is the lining of the uterus. Since the first sign of endometrial cancer is abnormal vaginal bleeding when

Some people with obesity are free of metabolic diseases such as diabetes, which often accompany this condition. It is known as “metabolically healthy obesity.” But a new study on women suggests that the “healthy” attribute should be taken with a considerably large pinch of salt. Can any type of obesity ever be characterized as ‘healthy?’
A recent article contains an overview of the current knowledge concerning the effects of diabetes on the kidney, a condition called diabetic nephropathy. Diabetes is health condition that results from the body’s inability to regulate glucose, increasing the amount of glucose in the blood. The normal range of glucose in the blood is 70–99 mg/dl

A recently published review finds a significant link between hay fever and a raised risk of anxiety and depression in adolescents. They also appear to be more impulsive and have less resistance to stress. Hay fever is more than just an itch. Allergies, such as hay fever, affect an estimated 50 million people in the
A person can be allergic to almost any food. While carrots are nutritious and packed with beta carotene, these root vegetables can also cause dangerous allergic reactions. An allergic reaction to carrots can be one element of oral allergy syndrome, which is also known as pollen-food allergy syndrome. A person with this syndrome is allergic
A recent review in Science outlines the intricate relationships between the gut microbiome and our responsiveness to cancer immunotherapy. All mammals including humans are endowed with a flourishing community of microorganisms within their gut. Humans, for instance, have an average of 30 trillion bacteria thriving within our gut; this bacterial community is called the microbiome.

[ad_1] Canadian researchers evaluate the effects of moderate- and high-volume aerobic exercise programs on physical activity time in postmenopausal women. Physical activity is a key lifestyle factor in the prevention of several diseases including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and some forms of cancer. Studies have found that high sedentary time is a risk factor in the
[ad_1] A recent study investigates the degrees of sensory impairment in hearing and its association with injuries from accidents in the US. Traffic accidents and road safety are paramount concerns. Accidental injuries are a leading cause of mortality and disability in the United States. Accidents and injuries occurring from accidents have resulted in treatment costs
Nocturnal diarrhea refers to diarrhea that happens at night. Chronic nocturnal diarrhea can be a sign of a more serious health condition, such as diabetes, a bowel disorder, or an infection. Persistent diarrhea can also interrupt sleep and affect the quality of life. Treatment depends on the severity of the symptom and its underlying cause.

[ad_1] Why do some of us have curly hair, and some straight? A recent study in the Journal of Experimental Biology tested two popular theories that explain curly hair using wool from Merino sheep. Following years of research, two very different theories emerged to explain why sheep have curly wool. One theory proposed that cell
Researchers recently performed a clinical trial comparing the safety and effectiveness of semaglutide and dulaglutide for treating type 2 diabetes. Why has the incidence of this disease increased dramatically in past 30 years? The answer is rooted in the fact that type 2 diabetes is partly caused by dietary and lifestyle practices that disrupt the
