According to a recent study conducted at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, body composition is associated with symptoms of pelvic floor disorders in middle-aged women. Larger fat mass increases the risk of stress urinary incontinence. The risk factors include larger fat mass, especially in the waist area and around visceral organs, as well as larger waist circumference and body mass index.

Alcohol alters gene function in the differentiating cells of the embryo, study finds

MyBlueDots2 weeks ago01 mins

Exposure to alcohol during the first weeks of embryonic development changes gene activity and cellular metabolism. In laboratory cultures, it was found that the first cells of the nervous system are the most sensitive to alcohol. This supports the recommendation to abstain from alcohol already when planning a pregnancy.

The quest to reinvent anesthesia

MyBlueDots2 weeks ago01 mins

Before 1846, surgery was a crude and brutal undertaking, typically performed on conscious patients lashed to their beds. Then a Boston dentist publicly demonstrated that the highly flammable chemical diethyl ether—commonly called ether—could render a patient unconscious and insensitive to pain. Overnight, surgery became a major player in modern medicine.

Mediterranean, fasting or DASH? Exploring promising metabolic benefits for management of MASLD

MyBlueDots2 weeks ago01 mins

Imagine a condition affecting nearly one-third of the global population, often silently progressing, and deeply intertwined with prevalent health issues like obesity and type 2 diabetes. This is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, or MASLD, previously known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). It’s characterized by an excessive accumulation of fat in the liver, which can lead to more severe liver pathologies, including inflammation, fibrosis, and even liver cancer.
