Schizophrenia is considered a mental disorder affecting how a person thinks, feels and behaves.  However, a new study, which one of the authors of the work Toby Pillinger (Toby Pillinger) briefly reports in The Conversation, shows that in other organs there can be changes with the onset of the disease. Scientists have long known that people with schizophrenia are ill (different physical ailments) much more often than the general population and that this generally increases the likelihood of premature death.  So, according to statistics, patients with schizophrenia live on average 15-20 years less than ordinary people. However, the negative impact on physical health was considered most often as a side effect.  It is noted that antipsychotics, for example, are associated with an increased risk of obesity and the development of type 2 diabetes.  In addition, factors related to lifestyle can also influence: perhaps a person suffering from a mental disorder will be less lik

In the 21st century, scientists were able to understand that the size and weight of the brain does not affect the level of intelligence.  After this, experiments were started, through which methods of improving brain function and developing new skills were explored.  We will tell you about popular misconceptions about the brain and provide recommendations on how to improve its performance.

Myth: the brain never gets tired Of course, because of mental work the brain can not get tired, but its concentration can affect the physical and mental state.  As it turned out, to improve brain

Regular use of these products contributes to the improvement of cognitive functions of the brain, said scientists from the National Institutes of Health. American scientists compiled a list of particularly useful products for the mind, and headed this list of forest berries.  The most effective in terms of a positive effect on cognitive abilities is the use of cranberries. "Cranberries contain a large number of antioxidants that literally help a person become smarter," experts said. Also scientists give out blueberries: as an excellent source of flavonoids, this berry, according to them, can be used to prevent age-related cognitive impairment.  Flavonoids are a class of vegetable polyphenols that have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.  In the experiments conducted, the bilberry proved its ability to stimulate brain activity in elderly patients. In the event that you can not get forest berries, cabbage and beetroot can be added to the d

A new anti-inflammatory drug developed by chemists of Perm State University (PGNIU) passed preclinical trials. The drug is highly active and does not show toxicity. "The tablets are designed to treat arthritis, arthrosis and inflammatory diseases," explained Victor Kotegov, MD, head of the Department of Pharmacology and Pharmacy at PGNUU. - The drug has no ulcerogenicity, that is, does not cause a drug ulcer of the stomach. The molecule, which we were able to synthesize, has a selective effect on the body and low toxicity. This allows you to point to the focus of the disease and at the same time avoid side effects. According to the scientist, to find a substance with the necessary properties, experts have investigated more than two thousand compounds. Currently, negotiations are being conducted with investors for the next stage - clinical trials of the drug.

Experts in the field of healthy eating told why dietary soda is dangerous for a diet. Like harmless sweeteners disrupt metabolism and wear out enzymes that protect us from diabetes. Nowadays, artificial sweeteners can be found everywhere, but science has not yet formed a consensus on whether they are useful or harmful. Sweeteners are synthetic (for example, saccharin or aspartame), or natural (stevia), that is, extracted from plants. To date, the US Food and Drug Administration has approved 6 varieties of artificial and two types of natural sweetener for use in food. Aspartame contains almost 6,000 foodstuffs consumed worldwide, and the American Diabetes Association officially recommends dietary soda as an alternative to those containing real sugars. However, medical research shows that sweeteners make their sad contribution to the development of chronic diabetes and cardiovascular diseases like real sugar. The problem with these seemingly non-calorie substances is that they are not
