Runners who complete one of the world's most difficult ultra-marathons experience less neuromuscular fatigue, inflammation, and muscle damage than those who run distances half to one quarter as long.
The finding came from new research published in PLoS One and was conducted by Jonas Saugy and team from the University of Lausanne, Switzerland.
For the purpose of the investigation, experts analyzed twenty-five male athletes before, during, and about 30 minutes after the race.
The race, known as the Tor des Geants, is an over 200-mile mountain ultramarathon with 24,000 meters of positive and negative elevation change.
The researchers explained:
"Mountain ultra-endurance running has experienced considerable growth in recent years. These events consist of running/walking on [...]

A new report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reveals that the overall rate of Cesarean section (C-section) births has stopped increasing and has been steady from 2009 to 2011.
C-section is a surgical procedure in which a baby is delivered through the mother's abdomen, the surgery usually takes about 30 - 45 minutes. Although C-section is relatively safe, it can pose some health risks for the mother and the baby.
The rates of cesarean section procedures shot up between 1996 and 2009, from 20.7% of all births in 1996 to 32.9% in 2009. Approximately 1.67 million women undergo the procedure every year in the USA.
Major advances in technology made the procedure safer and more convenient for many mothers.
However, recently the [...]

Treatment with atypical antipsychotics
posted by Daniel Haszard on 27 Jun 2013 at 11:26 am
Bravo our Veterans!Current drug PTSD treatment for Veterans found ineffective.Eli Lilly made $70 billion on the Zyprexa franchise.Lilly was fined $1.4 billion for Zyprexa fraud!
The atypical antipsychotics (Zyprexa,Risperdal,Seroquel) are like a 'synthetic' Thorazine,only they cost ten times more than the old fashioned typical antipsychotics.
These newer generation drugs still pack their list of side effects like diabetes for the user.All these drugs work as so called 'major tranquilizers'.This can be a contradiction with PTSD suffers as we are hyper vigilant and feel uncomfortable with a drug that puts you to sleep and makes you [...]

1) Exercise Can Turn Bad Fat Into Good Fat

Researchers have found that exercise helps "bad" fat transform into a form of "good" fat that is more metabolically active.
The findings were presented at the American Diabetes Association's 73rd Scientific Sessions.
Humans have two types of fat:
Brown fat (the good fat) - this type of fat burns through calories to generate body heat.
White fat (the bad fat) - this fat develops as a result of storing excess calories, it is just an energy reserve.
People with more brown fat are generally slimmer and better able to stay warm when it is cold, whereas individuals who have high levels of white fat tend to live more sedentary lifestyles.
In this study, the researchers found that mice and men who underwent an [...]

A group of researchers has managed to create the most detailed and complete map of the human brain to date.
BigBrain, the 3D digital reconstruction of the brain of a 65-year-old woman, reveals its details with microscopic precision.
The brain is made up of numerous networks of neurons that vary enormously in size, shape, and layers. Scientists can now see cerebral neuronal distribution with greater detail using this new model.
The finding, published in the journal Science, could drive further research into a wide range of brain diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
BigBrain will serve as an atlas for neurosurgery and give researchers invaluable insight into how the brain processes emotion, cognition and language.

Children had half as many emergency department visits if their primary care office had evening office hours on five or more days a week, according to new research from child health experts at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital and Johns Hopkins University.
The new study was published online this month in The Journal of Pediatrics and will be presented at the AcademyHealth Annual Research Meeting.
"These findings are an important step in understanding where primary care practices and medical home programs can be most effective in making changes to enhance access," says U-M pediatrician Joe Zickafoose, M.D., M.S., formerly a research fellow with the Child Health Evaluation and Research Unit at the University of [...]

Scientists at A*STAR's Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) have developed a revolutionary method to quickly cut through noise and generate a unified and simplified analysis of high-throughput biological data from, for example, patient samples. The technique, known as a pre-whitening matched filter, is well known in electrical engineering and widely used in cell phones and radar. This is the first time, however, computational scientists led by Dr Shyam Prabhakar, Associate Director, Integrated Genomics, GIS, have adapted it to the analysis of high-throughput DNA sequencing data, with surprisingly accurate results. The development was recently published in the prestigious journal, Nature Biotechnology.
High-throughput DNA sequencing has revolutionized the study of molecular biology and human disease. The [...]

South Asian women in Britain have an 8% higher risk of developing breast cancer than British white women, compared to a 45% lower risk ten years ago, researchers from the University of Sheffield reported at the National Cancer Intelligence Network Conference in Brighton on Friday, June 14th.
Study leader, Dr. Matthew Day and team are not sure why breast cancer incidence has increased so rapidly among British South Asian females. They suggest that possibly some lifestyle factors, like having fewer children today, getting pregnant later in life, an increase in screening uptake, oral contraceptive usage, alcohol consumption, and possibly smoking may have had an impact.
Dr. Day and team said, however, that after carrying out their study in Leicester, the evidence is [...]

Some lifestyle changes, including getting adequate sleep, the right diet, exercise, and proper rehydration can help reduce the number of times you get migraines, says Dr. Robert Sheeler, who works at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA.
Dr Sheeler adds that even for people who do not get frequent migraines, they can have a major impact on their lives. He suggests trying out some lifestyle changes which most likely will help reduce the number of migraine bouts you experience as well as the severity of each attack. If they still persist, you should seek medical advice on altering your treatment plan.
Migraine typically involves moderate/severe pain, usually on one side of the head. Patients commonly complain of a throbbing (pulsating) and [...]

Children who suffer from a second or third concussion take much longer to recover, according to a new study published in the medical journal Pediatrics.
The study, titled "Time Interval Between Concussions and Symptom Duration", included a total of 280 people (between the ages of 11 and 22) who received emergency department treatment for concussion.
A concussion is a traumatic injury to the brain caused by a blow or violent shaking.
Normally it only takes a couple of weeks for the symptoms of concussion to go, which include:
Amnesia.
Depression
Disturbed sleep.
Hyperacusis - sensitivity to sounds.
Irritability.
Lack of concentration, focus.
Moodiness.
Photophobia - sensitivity to light.

Alcohol consumption by adolescent girls has increased substantially - now on a par with boys - and this may be influenced by alcohol advertising, argues an editorial in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal)
Research shows that alcohol advertising in general and alcohol consumption by adolescents have both increased over a similar period.
"The problem with this equality is that alcohol, all drinkable forms of it, is not an equal-opportunity substance," writes Dr. Ken Flegel, senior associate editor, CMAJ. "What is at issue is not the equality of drinking choice but rather the inequality of the impact of alcohol on health. On average, women have a smaller body mass than men, with proportionately less of it composed of water, which results [...]
