High-Fiber Diet Linked To Lower Risk Of Death And Chronic Illness
(CNN) — People who eat diets that are high in fiber have lower risk of death and chronic diseases such as stroke or cancer compared with people with low fiber intake, a new analysis found. Dietary fiber includes plant-based carbohydrates such as whole-grain cereal, seeds and some legumes. Fiber’s health benefits have been recorded “by over 100 years of research,” Andrew Reynolds, a researcher at the University of Otago in New Zealand, wrote in an email. He is co-author of the new meta-analysis of existing research, which was published Thursday in the journal The Lancet. The research shows that high...

Want to Prevent the Deadliest Diseases? Eat More Fiber
If you want to eat something for better health, make it fiber. That’s the advice from nutrition experts and the latest national dietary guidelines. Now, a large new review of studies on fiber, published in the Lancet, shows just how beneficial fiber can be. The nutrient substantially lowers the risk of at least four diseases—many of which don’t even directly relate to the gut. Compared to those who ate less fiber, people who ate more fiber lowered their risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and colon cancer, as well as their risk of dying early from any cause, by 15% to 30%. And the more dietary ...

Dynamic flight stability of hovering mosquitoes
Publication date: Available online 28 December 2018Source: Journal of Theoretical BiologyAuthor(s): Longgui Liu, Mao SunAbstractThe flight of mosquitoes is unusual compared with many other insects, such as fruit-flies and honey bees: mosquitoes fly with their legs spread; they also have rather short stroke amplitude, hence use different aerodynamic mechanisms to produce lift. Could their flight-stability properties be different from those of other insects? Here, we first measured wing kinematics and morphological parameters of two hovering mosquitoes, and then use computational fluid dynamics to compute the aerodynamic der...

Abstract The pressing need to discover more effective drugs for various CNS disorders has resurrected the idea of investigating the effectiveness of traditional medicines in modern science. Tongluojiunao (TLJN) is an example of revived modern herbal preparation based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with a long history of administration for various types of cerebrovascular injuries and neurodegenerative diseases. TLJN is prepared from the herbal roots of Panax notoginseng (Sanchi) and dried fruits of Gardenia jasminoides (Cape Jasmine), and so far, it has demonstrated promising results in patients with vascul...

Eating habits in the population of the Aeolian Islands: an observational study.
CONCLUSIONS: Study findings show the eating habits and health status of the Aeolian people in an interesting setting of low incidence of cerebrovascular disease. This nutrition regimen has been proved to be protective against cerebrovascular disease. Nutrition is likely to contribute to the low incidence of stroke in this population.

Predict and Prevent: The Emergence of Real-Time Sensor-Based Care
Technology industry veteran Eran Ofir knows there is a lot of luck involved in successfully bringing a new device, especially one designed to create a new treatment vector, to market. Ofir is the CEO and co-founder of New York-based Somatix, which uses wrist-worn sensor data to dynamically monitor a person's situation. Used in conjunction with cloud-based computing resources and a communications device, the technology is capable of dynamically helping someone quit smoking, through detecting smoking gestures and automatically sending messages to the user encouraging them not to smoke. "We got lucky on two fronts," Ofir said...

Serum Beta Carotene and Overall and Cause-Specific Mortality.
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides evidence that higher beta carotene biochemical status is associated with lower overall, cardiovascular disease, heart disease, stroke, cancer, and other causes of mortality. The dose-response associations over a 30-year period were not attenuated by adjustment for other important risk factors and support greater fruit and vegetable consumption as a means to increase beta carotene status and promote longevity.

Gut bacteria may control movement
(NIH/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke) A new study puts a fresh spin on what it means to 'go with your gut.' The findings, published in Nature, suggest that gut bacteria may control movement in fruit flies and identify the neurons involved in this response. The study was supported by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of the National Institutes of Health.

Methylenecyclopropyl glycine, not pesticide exposure as the primary etiological factor underlying Hypoglycemic Encephalopathy in Muzaffarpur, India.
Abstract Some districts of Bihar, especially Muzzaffarpur district, have been known to be affected by annual outbreak, called locally as Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES) which became one of the major health concerns in Bihar, due to its high fatality and complications. Several hypotheses like bat virus, heat stroke, pesticide exposure and the presence of a compound - methylenecyclopropyl glycine (MCPG) in Litchi have been proposed by different investigators for AES. When the investigators examined the symptoms, signs and the epidemiological data, bat virus and heat stroke hypothesis were ruled out. Two major hypo...
