Medical
news is important for all of us, because it brings hope where sometimes
there was none. Discoveries in this field are among the most important
that man has ever made as they saved the lives of millions. Today,
researchers continue to work for the benefit of the entire mankind.
Their findings are published in specialized magazines, as well as on the
internet, for all people to take advantage of. These are some recent
discoveries that may improve the quality of our lives in the years to
come:
1. New and improved treatment for cancer
One new method of treating cancer refers
to a so called “nanodrug” which is like a microscopic vehicle, designed
to get into the tumor cells, ignoring the healthy ones and to deliver a
wide range of drugs. This approach is much more efficient than the
traditional one, and it has fewer negative effects on the rest of the
organism. This technique, which was so far used on breast cancer and on
brain tumors, is believed to have great potential of treating not only
cancer but many other diseases as well.
2. Natural preservative that kills Salmonella discovered
Fortunately, even though viruses are
more and more aggressive, scientists have no rest either. Medical news
on innovative treatments and improved methods to fight diseases are
brought to us every day. One of this news is the discovery of friendly
bacteria that might fight against such dangerous and famous human
enemies as listeria, E. coli or salmonella. If added to the foods that
present the greatest degree of contamination, this preservative could be
really helpful.
3. Eating nuts to control Type 2 diabetes
Nuts are now believed to be extremely
helpful for the patients suffering from diabetes. They are also believed
to prevent the complications of this illness. In order for this
alternative therapy to function, two ounces of raw nuts should be eaten
on a daily basis. If you worry about your weight, then know that the
nuts will not affect it whatsoever, so feel free to try.
4. New benefits of Omega 3 discovered
Recent medical news about the benefits
of Omega 3 fatty acids suggest that this compound found in fish may
protect human body against blindness caused by Retinopathy A and against
diabetes. Apparently, high intake of Omega 3 may have the same effect
as the traditional drugs used to increase the sensitivity to insulin,
but with no side effects (such as heart problems, which are a common
result of these conventional drugs.
5. An injection will limit the consequences of heart attacks
According to the researchers that
develop this one-of-a-kind drug, this is “a fascinating achievement”.
Apparently, researchers found a certain enzyme which is believed to be
responsible with the damage of tissue during heart attacks. Moreover,
researchers also discovered a simple way neutralize this enzyme: an
antibody injection to fight against this component of the blood. After
proving successful on animals, the new treatment is soon to be applied
on humans.
6. Universal flu vaccine to be discovered
This is a great discovery that may stop
the annual change of flu vaccines. As we all know, these vaccines may or
may not be effective and cannot offer any protection against the
unexpected apparition of a different flu virus. Apparently, scientists
tried for many years to find an antibody that could act as a universal
flu vaccine and now they finally discovered it. CR8020 was effective in
fighting against the most dangerous types of flu out there. We are sure
glad to hear it!
7. Swearing reduces pain!
This has been established by researchers
who found out that common swearing is born in the right hemisphere of
the brain, while language is known to form in the left hemisphere. This
strange discovery led scientists to an even more interesting finding:
subjects who were experiencing pain could resist more to it by swearing
than by using a “decent” word.
8. Playing an instrument efficiently fights depression
Apparently, music therapy is much more
effective than regular treatments in case of depression. This has been
proved by means of an experiment which was conducted by a team of
Finnish researchers on a group of 79 persons diagnosed with severe
depression. According to them, the patients who took music lessons
showed greater improvement than those who were treated according to the
traditional approach. Music is, according to the same scientists, able
to help us learn foreign languages much easier and to help us recall
lost memories. What is more, even patients with Alzheimer’s disease can
remember songs long after having forgotten everything else.
9. Healthy food will taste better
Even though we all know by now how great
is broccoli for our health, not all of us eat it. This is true for many
healthy foods that we simply don’t like. This fact determined
scientists to work with farmers in order to find ways to make our
veggies taste better. This will encourage people to try foods they never
liked before, boosting this way the level of vitamins, antioxidants and
fibers in their diet.
10. Sun prevents asthma in childhood
Most of you may doubt that any
connection could exist between childhood asthma and the sun. Yet, this
is what medical news shows. The link is the vitamin D which is produced
by our bodies only by means of sun exposure. This vitamin is important
not only in preventing childhood asthma but also in stopping severe
infectious maladies such as tuberculosis, researchers tell us.
