Η ξαφνική ζάλη και η σκοτοδίνη που αισθάνονται κάποιοι άνθρωποι όταν σηκώνονται απότομα από την καθιστή θέση ίσως πρέπει να εκλαμβάνονται πιο σοβαρά υπόψιν, ισχυρίζεται πρόσφατη έρευνα. Συγκεκριμένα, η ορθοστατική υπόταση όπως λέγεται η παραπάνω κατάσταση και συμβαίνει όταν η αρτηριακή πίεση του ατόμου μειώνεται σημαντικά και απότομα μετά τη μετάβασή του σε όρθια στάση, πιθανώς να μαρτυρά αυξημένο κίνδυνο για άνοια στο μέλλον σύμφωνα με νέα μελέτη. Η μελέτη που δημοσιεύεται στο Neurology, το ιατρικό...

Χειρότερη αποδεικνύεται η αποκατάσταση ασθενών με περιφερική αρτηριακή νόσο που πάσχουν ταυτόχρονα από κατάθλιψη, ιδίως των γυναικών, βάσει της ερευνητικής μελέτης της Ιατρικής Σχολής του Πανεπιστημίου Γέιλ, η οποία δημοσιεύεται στο Journal of the American Heart Association. Οι ερευνητές παρακολούθησαν επί ένα χρόνο την πορεία της υγείας 1,243 πασχόντων από περιφερική αρτηριακή νόσο, οι οποίοι εισήχθησαν για νέα ή υποτροπιάζοντα συμπτώματα σε εξειδικευμένες κλινικές στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες, την...

Αν αναζητάτε φυσικές εναλλακτικές λύσεις για την απώθηση των κουνουπιών, πιθανώς λιγότερο τοξικές για τον άνθρωπο και το περιβάλλον, τα παρακάτω προϊόντα μπορούν να συντελέσουν επιτυχώς στην προστασία σας από τα ενοχλητικά τσιμπήματα. 1. Σιτρονέλλα Η σιτρονέλλα, το περιώνυμο εντομοαπωθητικό, έχει αποδειχθεί σε αντίστοιχες δόσεις εξίσου αποτελεσματική με το DEET, το πλέον κοινό δραστικό συστατικό στα εντομοαπωθητικά σκευάσματα.

Πίτσα, σουβλάκια, πρόχειρο φαγητό… Μήπως την τελευταία φορά που καταβροχθίσατε τέτοιες ένοχες νοστιμιές δεν κοιμηθήκατε από τη βαρυστομαχιά και τις τύψεις για τις θερμίδες; Αν ναι, τουλάχιστον για το τελευταίο δεν θα έπρεπε να ανησυχείτε ισχυρίζεται νέα βρετανική έρευνα, η οποία όμως διευκρινίζει την βασική προϋπόθεση για την απόλαυση δίχως όρια. Η μελέτη, προϊόν μιας αυθόρμητης απόφασης του James Betts, καθηγητή Μεταβολικής Φυσιολογίας και της ερευνητικής του ομάδας από το Κέντρο Διατροφής, Άσκησης...

Πόσο απόλυτη είναι αυτή η σχέση; Σύμφωνα με τον Zachariah Reagh, αναπληρωτή καθηγητή Ψυχολογικών και Νευρολογικών σπουδών στο Πανεπιστήμιο της Ουάσιγκτον, τα πράγματα δεν είναι ακριβώς έτσι. Αφού εξέτασε την εγκεφαλική λειτουργία ηλικιωμένων αναφορικά με τη μνήμη μέσω ενός πιο φυσικού τρόπου και όχι με τα συνηθισμένα τεστ απομνημόνευσης λέξεων ή εικόνων,...
