A new study showed several inflammatory markers in the blood of patients with Long COVID. The inflammation leads to micro clots that are difficult to dissolve naturally. This leads to the extensive formation of clots. I think this will be the exact mechanism in people who develop blood clots after mRNA COVID vaccination since the…
This article discusses the diseases related to obesity and metabolic syndrome namely: endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, metabolic syndrome, PCOS and heart diseases.
This article shows how to properly wash chicken meat to avoid bacterial contamination on surrounding surfaces. The technique comes from the engineers, chemists, and mathematicians from Montana State University and a microbiologist from the University of Chemistry and Technology in the Czech Republic.

A silent stroke has mild symptoms that it is often ignored. They are usually seen on a head CT scan as incidental findings. Silent strokes are warning signs of fatal and non-fatal strokes. With time, the brain tissue damage accumulates with silent strokes and manifests as vascular dementia. Silent stroke prevention is possible if the…
This article features a study that showed that caloric restriction has the same benefits that beta-blockers provide to failing hearts. Beta-blockers like metoprolol and atenolol are recommended for people with congestive heart failure (CHF). Failing hearts cannot supply enough blood. That is why people with CHF constantly feel weak and short of breath. In heart…
Nature Cardiovascular Research recently published a study that showed that some people who take antiplatelets and beta blockers have a higher risk of a non-fatal heart attack during warm weather. The authors were from Yale University and several prestigious institutions in Germany. The study evaluated 2,494 heart attack cases in Augsburg, Germany, during warm seasons…
In 2019, scientists from Yale used BrainEx technology to revive a pig’s brain after four hours of isolation from the body.[1] This time, the same group modified BrainEx into called OrganEx to partially revive the organs of a whole pig. Nature published the research in its August 3, 2022, edition.[2] How they did the experiment…
A new study showed that new heart muscles form in the hearts of older mice. It was published this month in Circulation. In the study, eight weeks of running exercise increased the formation of new heart muscle cells or cardiomyocytes in adult mice. (βΌ4.6 fold). The authors tested for the presence of new cardiomyocytes by…
Insulin resistance is not a good thing.Β Insulin resistance is when the liver and skeletal muscles do not respond to insulin, forcing the pancreas to produce more insulin to lower blood sugar.Β The problem with high insulin or hyperinsulinemia is that other organs like the fat tissue, liver, muscle, brain, bone, kidneys, and vasculature also…
Standard medical advice when someone has acute back pain is to take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) like ibuprofen (Motrinβ’, Advilβ’) and diclofenac (Voltarenβ’). New research says that may cause more harm than good.Β The new study adds new information on how the body works and how acute pain can become chronic pain (pain for more…
I have talked about the benefits of intermittent fasting and the resulting reversal of cardiovascular risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, and hypertriglyceridemia. The past several months have shown unrelenting food price increases. This resulted from the war in Ukraine, the hyperinflationary policies of the US Federal Reserve, the culling of millions of poultry due to…
Neuropathy is a problem with nerve endings. The most common causes are diabetes and chemotherapy. We refer to the nerves supplying the upper and lower extremities when we talk of neuropathy in general, which is why it is also called peripheral neuropathy. Neuropathy can lead to other complications like gangrene, limb amputations, falls, persistent discomfort,…

29 621 participants A higher cumulative morbidity burden in older adulthood was observed among those who were overweight (7.22 morbidity-years) and those with classes I and II obesity (9.80) compared with those with a normal BMI (6.10) in midlife (P < .001). Mean age at death was similar between those who were overweight (82.1 years…
A new study usingΒ Mendelian Randomization (MR)Β challenges previous recommendations that light alcohol consumption is good for the heart.Β The peer-reviewed study was published in the March 25 edition of theΒ Journal of the American Medical Association.Β Mendelian Randomization is a relatively new research tool that uses genes to establish cause and effect. Knowing what causes any condition like…
The study Associations between alcohol consumption and gray and white matter volumes in the UK BiobankΒ shows that one unit of alcohol drunk a day can lead to loss of gray and white matter in the brain. It was published in Nature Communications in March 2022.[1] The research involved 36,678 generally healthy, middle-aged adults from the…
This article explores how the triglyceride HDL ratio could revolutionize early intervention strategies, empowering individuals to take control of their health before serious conditions take hold.
Microplastics can be found in different body organs and affect human health. Microplastics in the placenta A study published in the journal Environmental International detected microplastics in the human placenta. Raman Microspectroscopy was used to examine six human placentas to evaluate microplastics. Twelve microplastic fragments (ranging from 5 to 10 ΞΌm in size) were found…
