New Gut Treatment Prevents Noise-Induced Hearing Loss

Healthcare, Medicine /

Researchers have developed a novel oral treatment to prevent and repair noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) by combining magnetic properties from traditional Chinese medicine with contemporary insights into the gut microbiome. NIHL can result from exposure to sudden, intense sounds like gunshots or continuous loud noises in industrial settings, affecting people of all ages as society […]

Honeybees Can Detect Lung Cancer by Scent

Healthcare, Medicine /

Honeybees can identify the faint scents of lung cancer in laboratory settings, including the slight aroma detectable in a patient’s breath. Leveraging the bees’ remarkable sense of smell, scientists connected living bees’ brains to electrodes, exposed them to various scents under their antennae, and recorded their brain responses. “The difference is striking — like night

Study: High-Fat Diet May Increase Anxiety

Healthcare, Medicine, Science /

Select comfort foods wisely. While stress-eating might provide temporary relief, a recent study indicates that some high-fat foods can exacerbate anxiety over time. The study found that a high-fat diet, particularly one rich in saturated fats from animal sources, disrupted the gut microbiome of lab rats and altered their behavior. These rats exhibited increased gene

Slow-Release Ketamine Tablet Reduces Depression Levels By 50%

Healthcare, Medicine /

A clinical trial revealed that a slow-release, twice-weekly ketamine tablet significantly reduced depression symptoms. “Unlike current ketamine treatments requiring medical supervision, this tablet can be taken at home.” Over the past 20 years, research has primarily focused on injectable and nasal spray ketamine, which necessitates medical monitoring for two hours post-administration. This new tablet form

Study Reveals Why Some Don’t Get COVID Despite Infection

Healthcare, Medicine /

A UK-based study involved volunteers allowing scientists to deliberately infect them with SARS-CoV-2, aiming to understand why some individuals naturally avoid contracting COVID-19. This pioneering research could lead to improved vaccines and treatments.

Previous studies have examined COVID-19’s effects on patients, but none have tracked the disease from the initial entry of the virus to the development of illness. The newly published research by University College London (UCL) addresses this gap.
