Hookah can also be reason for Cancer, finds new study.

In a new study conducted by researchers from UC San Francisco find that smoking hookah is no good from smoking cigarette. The researchers came to this conclusion by studying and measuring the chemical in the urine and blood sample of hookah smokers contains a different, but still harmful mix of toxins.

UCSF research chemist Peyton Jacob III, PhD, and UCSF tobacco researcher Neal Benowitz, MD, both based at San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center, said hookah use exposes smokers to higher levels of carbon monoxide, especially hazardous to those with heart or respiratory conditions, and to higher levels of benzene, long associated with leukemia risk.

Writing down worries boosts your performance

(PTI)Researchers at the University of Chicago found that the exercise of writing down worries appears to clear the mind and allows it too focus on the job in hand.

The technique is so powerful that students taking an exam showed a 20 per cent improvement in their marks if they used it just before sitting down, they found.

"People are in this stressful situation and they worry about it and the consequences," said Prof Sian Beilock, who led the study.

Hormones of Trust has its own limits: Researchers

A hormone, named Oxytocin, produced by the hypothalamus in the brain, which helps and has been shown to make people trust each other more and promote feelings of love.

But according to researchers, this hormone has now been found to have limits, since it promotes love and trust only towards know(in-group) people and not towards people who are seen as different.

Psychologists have therefore concluded it is involved in ethnocentrism.

'Instant cancer' may be caused due to cell explosions.

Scientists from U.K claims to know the cause of surprise cancer or also know as 'Instant Cancer'.

This finding from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in the UK contradicts the long-held theory that thousands of mutations over a lifetime cause cancer.

This study also helps explain why some people are diagnosed with cancer only months after x-rays or other tests fail to detect traces of the disease, the journal Cell reports.

Medication for the recovery of health Immune system found by US researchers

A key element to restore the liveliness and the aging process of immune system is said to be identified by UCSF researcher, published by Journal Clinical Immunology.

A low dose of the drug lenalidomide can stimulate the body's immune-cell protein , which decrease production during aging, and rebalance the levels of several key cytokines, is identified by the team which researched on the cell of the blood.

'People insecure in relationships prone to heart attacks'

People who don't feel secure about their relationships may be at a greater risk of suffering from heart attacks and a host of other health problems, a new study has claimed.

Researchers at the Acadia University in Nova Scotia, Canada, found that relationship uncertainties, known as "insecure attachment", are associated with higher risk for a number of health conditions, including stroke, heart attack and high blood pressure.

"The study suggests that attachment is associated with these fairly concrete and negative health outcomes," said lead researcher Lachlan McWilliams.

Scientists solve chicken and egg riddle ?

(cnn.com) Researchers in Britain have been credited with cracking the age-old conundrum about the chicken and the egg. But are they right?

After the publication of the rather dry-sounding scientific paper, "Structural Control of Crystal Nuclei by an Eggshell Protein," press headlines proclaimed the answer was... the chicken.

However, one of the paper's lead authors, Colin Freeman, from the University of Sheffield in northern England, told CNN that the result was not as conclusive as it seemed.

"I would argue that the concept of an eggshell came about way before the chicken, it's dinosaur or even pre-dinosaur thing. That's something to talk to an evolutionary biologist about probably," he said.

Vitamin C ‘can block tumour growth’

Vitamin C can help block the growth of cancer cells, found New Zealand researchers—a feat that could be quickly adopted into cancer treatment.

After much controversy over the role of vitamin C in cancer treatment, a team from Otago University at Christchurch have now shown that it has a role in controlling tumour growth.

They have said that their study of tumorous and normal tissue samples from women with cancer of the uterine lining, has given the first direct evidence of a link between vitamin C and a protein called HIF-1.

HIF (hypoxia inducible factor)-1 is considered a key protein in tumour survival.

Cashew seed extract an effective anti-diabetic.

A new study suggests that cashew seed extract can act as an effective anti-diabetic.

Researchers from Universities of Montreal, Canada and de Yaoundé Cameroun analysed whether cashew extracts could improve the body's response to its own insulin, reports Molecular Nutrition and Food Research.

"Of all the extracts tested, only cashew seed extract significantly stimulated blood sugar absorption by muscle cells," a release quoted study author Pierre S. Haddad as saying.

Haddad, professor of pharmacology at the University of Montreal's Faculty of Medicine, said: "Cashew seed extract contains active compounds, which can have potential anti-diabetic properties."

Walnuts 'can prevent dementia'.

Want to stave off dementia? All you need to do is to eat walnuts everyday, according to a new study, led by an Indian-origin researcher.

Dr Abha Chauhan and his colleagues at New York State Institute have carried out the study and found eating walnuts on a regular basis can keep one's mental skills up.

According to the researchers, vitamin E and flavonoids in walnuts actually help in destroying harmful free radical chemicals that cause dementia. "Walnuts may have a beneficial effect in reducing the risk, delaying the onset or slowing progression of Alzheimer's disease," the 'Daily Express' quoted Dr Chauhan as saying.

Chemical that can stop you eating for pleasure found .

Scientists have found an appetite suppressant that can curb the desire for "pleasure eating", a discovery that could lead to a new class of dieting drugs.

Researchers at Manchester University found that the substance called hemopressin, which occurs naturally in the body, affects the reward centres of the brain that light up when someone enjoys a comforting snack or cigarette.

It was found to be blocking these areas of the brain, reducing the craving for post-pub kebabs and calorific late-night snacks.

Dr Garron Dodd, who led the research, said the finding could lead to drugs that can stimulate the brain to produce more hemopressin, which will prevent people from eating purely for pleasure instead of from hunger.

Olive leaf could help fighting obesity.

A new research has revealed that a cup of coffee prepared with olive leaf extract may help in combating obesity.

The study involved feeding rats a high carbohydrate, high fat diet for eight weeks until they developed signs of metabolic syndrome.

The rats given coffee fortified with olive leaf extract for a further eight weeks showed improved cardiovascular, liver and metabolic signs compared with rats given normal coffee.

Lindsay Brown of University of Southern Queensland''s said the olive leaf extract led to weight loss because of its anti-inflammatory properties, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.

Brain regulatory gene identified

Scientists have identified a gene that seems to be a master regulator of human brain development.

The human brain is a marvel of nature with more than 100 billion neurons and billions of other specialised cells.

A team of scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UWM) have identified a gene - known as Pax6 - which guides undifferentiated stem cells to tightly defined pathways in becoming different types of cells in the brain.

The new finding is important because it reveals the main genetic factor responsible for instructing cells at the earliest stages of embryonic development to become the cells of the brain and spinal cord. Identifying the gene is the first critical step towards routinely forging customised brain cells in the lab. Moreover, the work contrasts with findings from animal models such as mouse and zebra-fish, pillars of developmental biology and thus helps cement the importance of the models being developed from human embryonic stem cells.
