We do apply ice on the injuries for the temporary ice as it numb the senses at the site of application. But a new study has found that putting ice on injuries could slow down healing as it prevents the release of a key repair hormone.
The study, published in the 'Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology' journal, suggests muscle inflammation after acute injury is essential to repair. It can also lead to new therapies for acute muscle injuries that lead to inflammation.
In the study, Prof Lan Zhou and colleagues at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio discovered inflamed cells produce a high level of a hormone called insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) which significantly increases the rate of muscle regeneration.

Do u Feel discouraged by yourself when it comes to drinking ?? Then it may be in our genes.
A gene that plays an indirect role in preventing some people from becoming alcoholics has been identified for the first time.
Researchers from University of North Carolina have found out the gene, called CYP2E1, which is indirectly responsible for the protective effect for 10 to 20 per cent of the population.
The gene, they said, codes for an enzyme that breaks down ethanol-- the intoxicating agent in alcoholic beverages -- and other toxins in the brain, LiveScience reported.

New study published in the journal Pediatrics, researchers in the UK found children who spend a lot of time in front of television and computer monitors had more psychological difficulties than their counterparts who weren't in front of these devices.
Scientists from University of Bristol's Centre for Exercise, Nutrition and Health Sciences, looked at 1000 children, between 10 and 11 years, and noted the time they spent on recreational activities, including both sedentary time and time spent on moderate to vigorous activities and then they arrived at the conclusion.
The youngsters also completed a questionnaire that asked them about their strengths and difficulties. The questions were designed to assess their psychological well-being.
The data found children who looked at television or computer screens for more than two hours scored high on having psychological difficulty, regardless of how much time the children participated in physical activity.

Many know that Regular walking keep and fit and healthy but Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh found that men and women who walk at least six miles (about 9.5km) a week are mentally sharper in later life than those who don't walk much.
Our brains, according to the researchers, decrease in size as we age, but regular exercise may protect it in later life and could cut the risks of memory problems by half, the Telegraph reported.
For their study, the team studied 299 dementia free elderly individuals and recorded the distance they walked each week.
For nine years, brain scans were carried out to measure their brain size, and four years further on they were tested for cognitive impairment.

We has seen that the love they expected, if not received leads to hell lot of pain and uneasiness and some time which also lead to life ending consequences.
But science tell some thing new about LOVE. Researchers says LOVE is a drug, acts as a painkiller. They came to this conclusion by studying the Brain scans suggest many of the areas normally involved in pain response are also activated by amorous thoughts.
Stanford University researchers gave 15 students mild doses of pain, while checking if they were distracted by gazing at photos of their beloved.
The study focused on people early in a romance, journal PLoS One reported, so the "drug of love" may wear off.

Do you think is there any connection between Sleeping with light on and weight gain? But the science shows there is a link.
According to the study carried out by researcher at the Ohio State University, Too much light at night appears to lead to weight gain, based on studies of mice .
The researchers found that mice exposed to a dim light at night over eight weeks had a weight gain that was about 50 per cent more than other mice that lived in a standard light-dark cycle.
“Although there were no differences in activity levels or daily consumption of food, the mice that lived with light at night were getting fatter than the others,” said Ms Laura Fonken, the lead author of the study and a researcher at the Ohio State University.

In a study published in the US journal 'Pediatrics' had found that Infants born with jaundice are at much greater risk of developing autism.
This was concluded from full-term infants born in Denmark between 1994 and 2004 who had jaundice were 67 per cent more likely to develop autism.
Neonatal jaundice is usually caused by elevated production of bilirubin, a substance found in bile that results from the normal breakdown of red blood cells.
Jaundice is seen in 60 per cent of term infants and usually resolves within the first week of life, but prolonged exposure to high bilirubin levels is neurotoxic and can cause lifelong developmental problems, the study says.

Researcher found out a new experimental vaccine that drastically helps in extending the life of patients with the most deadly type of brain tumor, glioblastoma (GBM), according to a small-scale US study published on Monday.
This vaccine is designed to targets a aggressive cancer gene called EGFRvIII that fuels glioblastomas, researchers said.
In their study of 18 patients, survival rate was extended from an expected 15 months to 26 months.
The study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology also said the vaccinated patients benefited from a longer “progression-free survival period, 14.2 months, compared to 6.3 months for those who did not receive the vaccine.”

Amdavadi rickshaw puller Rohit Upadhyay will, on October 1, donate blood for the 100th time - making him the first rickshaw driver in the city to accomplish this record.
Upadhyay will join the club of centurion blood donors on the All India Voluntary Blood Donation Day this Friday, when he will make his 100th donation.
He will also be the 66th member of the Ahmedabad Red Cross Centurion Blood Donors' Club.
Ironically though, when this man had donated blood for the first time, it was because he wanted to commit suicide and he thought the donation would take his life!

(PTI) A powerful magnetic field can temporarily confuse the brain and alter our hand preference, a new study has found.
In an extraordinary experiment by researchers at the University of California found that volunteers' hand choices were changed when they were subjected to a powerful magnetic field.
Although the effects lasted till the magnet was switched on, the study threw light on the origin of hand choice in the brain, the researchers said.
It also highlighted that how it is easy to change people's behaviour with magnets, they added.
Dr Flavio Oliveira, who led the study, said: "We are not really looking at handedness, but at hand choice. We found that in situations where people are almost equally likely to use their left or right hand we can make them use their left hand more by stimulating this part of the brain."

(IANS) Researchers discovered that such people are more likely to have a genetic variant that protects them from tuberculosis and leprosy.
They analysed DNA samples from populations across Europe, Asia and Africa and compared rates of genetic disease resistance with urban history.
Poor sanitation and heavy population densities provided an ideal breeding ground for infections in built-up areas in previous generations, reports the journal Evolution.
Past exposure to pathogens led to disease resistance spreading through populations because ancestors passed it on to their descendants, a Daily Mail report quoting scientists, said.

(IANS) Researchers from the Purdue University in Indiana, US, found overweight and obese men on low-calorie, high-protein diets felt more satisfied and less hungry when they ate three times daily compared to eating six times a day.
In popular perception it is better to eat little meals more often.
However, lead researcher Heather Leidy, now at the University of Missouri in Columbia, US, said: "These mini-meals everyone is talking about don't seem to be as beneficial as far as appetite control."
Studies on whether eating frequency affects appetite control have had "conflicting" results, according to the journal Obesity.

(IANS)Recent research show how water helps the skin to be healthy.
Doctors and nutritionists agree that drinking at least eight glasses of water daily helps maintain a clear, youthful complexion. They are agreed that oodles of water will "flush out" our systems, banish spots, plump out wrinkles and moisturise our skin.
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, female volunteers were told to drink one-and-half litres of water daily for eight weeks without changing their lifestyle, reports the Daily Mail.
Some drank ordinary tap water. Others drank Willow Water, a natural mineral water sourced in the Lake district in Britain. The latter contains salicin, a derivative of willow bark which, when metabolised, turns into salicylic acid, a compound found in a number of skin products, known for its anti-inflammatory properties and acts in the same way as aspirin.

Scientists at Zeltiq in California have developed a device that freezes body flab to remove extra content from your body.
Known as CoolSculpting device, it is being promoted as a painless alternative to liposuction, features a gel patch that clamps on to flabby parts and freezes fat cells.
It works by killing the fat cells at sub-zero temperatures , which are re-absorbed and flushed away by the body over the next few months, leaving the patient trimmer.
They realised that although fat freezes at a lower temperature than other types of tissue, skin and muscles can survive sub-zero temperatures without suffering lasting damage.

So funds and campaigning against HIV is finally showing its results.
Countries in Sub-Saharan Africa are leading a global decline in new HIV infections, the UN has said.
UNAids said 22 countries in the world's worst affected region had seen a drop in new cases of more than 25%.
The fall was because of greater awareness and better use of preventative measures, it said.
But UNAids also noted that cases of HIV were increasing in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, and among gay men in developed countries.
