Scientists in Cambridge have made an important step towards the developing of a so called artificial pancreas system for organizing the type-1 diabetes in the children.

The team has developed and successfully tested a new algorithm that provides a stepping stone to home testing for the unnatural pancreas. The new study has funded by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). It shows that using an unnatural pancreas system overnight can extensively lessen the risk of hypoglycemia, when the blood glucose levels drop very while sleeping.

An artificial pancreas system joins a continuous glucose monitor and an insulin pump and uses a sophisticated algorithm that calculate the suitable amount of insulin to deliver the real time glucose readings. It also reduces the requirement for the several daily finger prick tests and insulin vaccination. Artificial pancreas offer better control of blood glucose levels all night.

A study shows that the rich diet in coconut oil keeps away the fat and also protects against insulin battle. The study also helps us in explaining that the fatty acids are found in the coconut oil that can lose fat from our body. Fatness and insulin opposition are the main factors that are most important types of diabetes. Insulin resistance is a harmed ability of cells that react to the insulin.

Nigel Turner and Jiming Ye from Sydney’s Garvan Institute of medical research compared that fat metabolism and insulin fight with mice fed coconut oil and fat based diets. The medium chain fatty acids such as all those found in the coconut oil behave like very differently to the fats which normally found in our diets. Read the rest of this entry »

Group of scientists have concluded that the caffeine that was found in coffee and green tea can effectively and slowly cause the growth of brain cancer tumors. According to the researchers of the South Korea Institute of Science and Technology, animal test results have showed that regular caffeine found in coffee and green tea can strongly repressed the growth of install trisphosphate receptor that is closely associated to global stoma. It is the most common and destructive type of primary brain tumor that is found in the humans.

When the research team has comprises with the scientists from Seoul National University, Gyeongsang National University and Emory University in Atlanta resulted that the calcium plays a most important role in spreading global stoma tumor cells in the individuals and that directly gives to the amount of calcium that has launched.

Daily dose of blueberries can be the ideal way to alleviate the memory fall and brain slips that typically come with as we get older.

In a small study, old adults who drank a cup of blueberry juice a day simply improve their learning scores and memory task by almost 20 percent. Studies in animals have linked that the blueberries with brain function, indicated that blueberries might have considered being a super foods.

In the animal studies, older individuals who eat blueberry simply extract and improve their performance on memory tasks. Scientists have credited blueberries to be very impressive brain boosting effects on a type of antioxidant called anthocyanins. All these molecules belong to a larger group called poly phenols that come in thousands of varieties. Read the rest of this entry »

American researchers in their study have shown that changes in our body fluid odours can be used to recognize the occurrence of lung cancer tumors.

The scientists at the Monell Center and collaborators states that it may help in methods to classify the potential of the diagnostics biomarkers for lung cancer in human urine. Monell biologist Gary K. Beauchamp is a senior author on the study concluded that cancerous tumor result in a change in the body and can be detected by both trained animal sensors and by complicated chemical methods.

This finding specifies that odour sensing has the capability to improve early diagnostic and predictive approaches to lung cancer treatment. Scientists have used a controlled animal model to diminish many confusing factors frequently that was found by human patient studies. In behavioral studies, sensor mice were the first trained to identify the smell of urine of animals with lung cancer. These trained sensor mice were able to use urine odour to make a difference between tumors that were bearing from healthy animals. Read the rest of this entry »

A simple eye test can help in analyzing inherited mental health circumstances such as bipolar chaos or hyper depression. The Monash University neuron scientist Mr. Steven Miller led a national team of researchers in order to test the binocular competition rates of 348 sets of twins of whom 128 were alike. The test has measured that the twins’ binocular enmity is switching of their visual sensitivity from one image to another.

Miller’s study of twins explained that the switching rates were very similar between each set of identical twins. Yet, they were significantly less for non identical twins it is suggesting an inherent contribution to an individual’s switching rate. By studying such a big group of identical and non identical twins, we can determine that the likelihood of genetics is being responsible for certain natural qualities. Read the rest of this entry »

Food allergy is in the mind of the researcher’s that has been claimed by the millions of people who believe that they have a food allergy. But, in the reality, such allergy has been a part of a genuine problem.

A new study has exposed that although 20 percent of adults in Britain that is around ten million people claim that they are unable to eat foods like milk or mustard. Fewer than two percent of the people actually have such kind of problem. The researcher’s team from Portsmouth University found that this is an inconsistency after reviewing studies. They have found that the occurrence of food allergies are caused by an over reaction of the immune system and intolerances that have similar but less cruel symptoms. Read the rest of this entry »

The swine flu vaccine is now finally being available in India by the third week of February. But, these vaccinations are mainly for the high risk group of medical practitioners. The officials state that it is an original developed vaccine that will not be available before April, 2010. The French pharma company named as Sanofi Pasteur is at least 15 days ahead. The vaccine from this company will be available in India by the third week of February as said by the Drug Controller General of India S Singh.

The company is starting the overpass study from Wednesday. The cost of this imported vaccine will be around Rs. 300. Earlier, the health Minister Mr. Ghulam Nabi Azad concluded that the indigenous swine flu vaccine will be available for the people in India in April, 2010. Read the rest of this entry »

For all those worrying mothers who face many problems in guessing their children’s state of mind, the Spanish researchers have developed some helpful methods through which the mothers can judge the stress level of their kids. Researchers from the University of Malaga have created the technique that will give valuable information for the development of psycho-educational intervention guidelines. This will help them to improve the interactions and give the encouragement to the children so that they will easily manage their daily stress level.

Not taking interest in extracurricular activities that is held at schools or being alone everywhere are some of the factors that increases the risk of childhood stress.  Taking part in daily number of activities in health, school, family and peer relationships are the significant options in the childhood development. The record of such activities can also be maintained by the teachers, staff and parents. Read the rest of this entry »

Want a perfect curve like Kate Winglets and Helen Mirren? Well, researchers have now designed a formula for the perfect hourglass figure that can help you make your outer look more attractive. The scientists of the University of Manchester worked with the supermarket chain Asda just to work out on this formula. Researchers concluded that the bust size and part of the thigh stature and hip waist ratio are the essential dimensions of a body.

The human curvature has come to represent the healthiest and most abundant form that is highlighting the most suitable breeding partner. Dr David Holmes, a senior psychology lecturer at the University of Manchester as states, “That’s the reason that has evolved to be universally attractive to males.” He also added that the perfect figure also impacts the other females as they show the mixed responses of both respect as well as jealousy. A survey of a large part of the researches found that 72 per cent of men are attracted to curvier women who have full bust, small waist and rounded bottom. Read the rest of this entry »
