BACTERIAL IMBALANCES LINKED TO BREAST CANCERS

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women in United State. It only second to the skin cancers.

The research team has discovered for the first time that healthy breast tissue contains more of the bacterial species Methylobacterium, a finding which could offer a new perspective in the battle against breast cancer.

They have compared bacterial composition of breast tissues of healthy women vs women with breast cancer. They have also checked bacterial composition of both breast tissue and distance area of the body and they found women with breast cancers have more gram positive bacteria in the urine.

Now researches are trying to identify pro cancer bacteria from the microbiome (Bacteria that live in the body).If they will be able to find those nasty bacteria we can decrease the risk of developing breast cancers.

FEVER IN EARLY PREGNANCY HARMS YOUR BABY

Researchers have known for decades that fevers in the first trimester of pregnancy increase risk for some heart defects and facial deformities such as cleft lip or palate. But they have not known the reason for those defects.They thougt it was due to the root cause of the fever.It may be virus or bacteria. Recently researchers of the Duke University Medical Center has found that fever it self cause those defects and it does not depend on the root cause. Fever in first three to eight weeks of pregnancy can interfere with the development of heart and face of the fetus.According to results of the research they suggest a portion of congenital birth defects could be prevented by lowering the mother's fever with the judicious use of acetaminophen during the first trimester.Some Non Steroidal anti-inflammatory Drugs(NSAIDs) like ibuprofen and aspirin can also reduce the fever, but they have some adverse effects on late stages of the pregnancy.So those drugs are not good for use.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF CHEWING RAW GARLIC

HEALTH BENEFITS OF CHEWING RAW GARLIC You might not make a lot of new friends if you chew on garlic, a plant used for centuries as both a pungent flavoring and a medicine. A member of the onion family, garlic contains a powerful sulfur compound called allicin, which also lends it a distinctive – and to many people, unpleasant – smell.Garlic not only makes food delicious, it may also have a number of health benefits. The allicin in garlic exhibits strong antioxidant activity – the ability to fight harmful free radicals in the body – which has led scientists to study its health-promoting properties. OFFERS AN ANTI-INFLAMMATORY EFFECT If you suffer from an inflammatory condition, it may help to consume raw garlic. A study published in "Food and Chemical Toxicology" in August 2013 found that garlic had an anti-inflammatory effect, with raw garlic exhibiting a stronger effect than garlic that had been heated. The levels of a compound called allicin were great...

Even brief maternal deprivation early in life alters adult brain function and cognition: Rat study

May 3, 2018 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis School of Science When a baby is taken from its mother for even a brief period early in life, this traumatic event significantly alters the future, adult function of the brain, according to a new animal model study. These changes in the brain are similar to disturbances in brain structure and function that are found in people at risk for neuropsychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia
