Stem Cell Theraphy

In what could raise hopes of people living with high blood sugar, scientists claim to have developed a stem cell treatment which can free diabetics from dependence on insulin. A team at Regional Blood Center in Brazil in Ribeirao Preto in Brazil has developed the new treatment that stops the immune systems of patients with type1 diabetes from destroying the pancreatic islet cells, which manufacture insulin hormone. According to the scientists, the treatment, tested successfully on 12 out of 20 diabetic patients, is actually a three-step process which relies on extracting and storing CD34 stem cells from blood of those with high blood sugar. In the next step, patients will receive drugs that destroy what remains of their immune systems, obliterating at the same time the components of the immune system that attack the islets. Finally, the saved stems are returned to the patient so that they can regenerate afresh an immune system that will no longer attack islet cells, the New Scientist reported.

Three- to six-year-old children who snore have more symptoms of depression and anxiety, as well as attention and language problems, than their age-matched counterparts who do not snore, Finnish report reveals snoring as a possible risk factor for mood problems and cognitive impairment in preschool-aged children.

The snoring children were also more likely to have other sleep problems, such as nightmares, talking in their sleep, or difficulties going to bed. Brain function tests also showed some significant differences between the snorers and non-snorers, including decreased attention and language skills among children who snored.

Reduce Menopause Effects

Researches reveal that soybean reduces the effects of menopause in a very effective way. A new study has found dietary supplementation with soy aglycons of isoflavone lowers cholesterol, increases the anti-oxidative properties of the liver and prevents degeneration of the vaginal lining.

The researchers have based their findings on the analysis of the effects of dietary supplements on a group of female rats that had undergone ovary removal. The research may help a lot for all those with menopause problem. This research seemed to be very effective and is to be tested on human.
