Η ωκυτοκίνη, γνωστή και ως «ορμόνη της αγάπης» μπορεί να αποτελεί ισχυρό σύμμαχο στον έλεγχο και την πρόληψη της οστεοπόρωσης, σύμφωνα με μία μελέτη επιστημόνων από το Πανεπιστήμιο του Σάο Πάολο (UNESP) στη Βραζιλία. Η μελέτη, που δημοσιεύθηκε στο Scientific Reports, έδειξε ότι όταν η ορμόνη χορηγήθηκε σε θηλυκά ποντίκια που βρίσκονταν στο τέλος της γόνιμης περιόδου τους, μπόρεσε να αναστρέψει την πρόδρομη κατάσταση της οστεοπόρωσης, δηλαδή τη μειωμένη οστική πυκνότητα και δύναμη των οστών και την...

Οι ατομικές δραστηριότητες των παιδιών στο εξωτερικό περιβάλλον ίσως κρατούν τον πρωταρχικό ρόλο στο να συνδεθούν και να αγαπήσουν τη φύση αντλώντας παράλληλα όλα τα οφέλη για την ψυχική και σωματική τους υγεία, βάσει των ευρημάτων μελέτης του Πανεπιστημίου της Βόρειας Καρολίνας. Οι ομαδικές δραστηριότητες είναι φυσικά εξαιρετικά σημαντικές και απαραίτητες για το χτίσιμο του δεσμού με τη φύση, την υγεία, χαρά και κοινωνικοποίηση των παιδιών, πάντως σύμφωνα με τη νέα έρευνα το σημείο εκκίνησης για...

Η ερευνητική μελέτη, που διεξήχθη υπό την αιγίδα του Πανεπιστημίου Ιατρικών Επιστημών και Επιστημών Υγείας RCSI της Ιρλανδίας, συσχετίζει την ατμοσφαιρική ρύπανση κατά τη διάρκεια του χειμώνα με αυξημένες νοσηλείες για αγγειακό εγκεφαλικό επεισόδιο στη χώρα. Πρόκειται για την πρώτη μελέτη που καταγράφει βραχυπρόθεσμη συσχέτιση μεταξύ ατμοσφαιρικής ρύπανσης και εγκεφαλικού επεισοδίου στην Ιρλανδία -μία χώρα, μάλιστα, η οποία δεν διαθέτει υψηλά επίπεδα ατμοσφαιρικής ρύπανσης. Τα σχετικά συμπεράσματα...

Μια παράπλευρη και απροσδόκητη επίπτωση του τσιγάρου στην υγεία των καπνιστριών ανέδειξε πρόσφατη έρευνα. Το εύρημα αποδεικνύεται ιδιαιτέρως σημαντικό, δεδομένου πως ο καρκίνος του πνεύμονα ευθύνεται για τους περισσότερους θανάτους γυναικών ανάμεσα στους άλλους τύπους καρκίνου. Η μελέτη που δημοσιεύτηκε στο BMJ Open έδειξε πως οι ενεργές καπνίστριες αμελούν τον τυπικό έλεγχο για καρκίνο και όταν εν τέλει διαγιγνώσκονται, ο καρκίνος βρίσκεται σε προχωρημένο στάδιο. Σύμφωνα με την επιστημονική ομάδα,...

Ο τακτικός έλεγχος μεγάλου αριθμού ατόμων θα παίξει τεράστιο ρόλο στην παρακολούθηση της μετάδοσης του SARS-CoV-2. Η γρήγορη ανίχνευση και απομόνωση των ενεργών περιπτώσεων – δηλαδή ατόμων που μπορούν να μεταδώσουν τον ιό, είτε είναι συμπτωματικά είτε ασυμπτωματικά – είναι βασικό εργαλείο για τον περιορισμό της εξάπλωσης της νόσου. Επιπλέον, απαιτούνται ακριβή δεδομένα σχετικά με τον αριθμό των ενεργών περιπτώσεων για την χάραξη της υγειονομικής πολιτικής και των ανάλογων μέτρων (σε τοπικό, και...
