Created a cure for arthritis without side effects

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.

Schizophrenia affects the whole body, not just the brain

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 disord...

AIDS: how this disease has appeared

AIDS, which used to be called the "plague of the 20th century", remains one of the most dangerous and poorly studied diseases in the XXI century. That is, they study it a lot, but reliable facts about this disease are still not enough. One of the most mysterious topics is actually the origin of the disease. Some researchers suggest that people received HIV "as a gift" from our smaller brothers, the chimpanzee. Others believe that the disease was artificially created in secret laboratories, while others completely deny the existence of AIDS. Here are some of the most popular theories of the origin of this disease. Errors in the development of medicine It is believed that AIDS was first discovered in 1981 in the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (USA). Then, about 30 men with similar symptoms were examined. All, as one, were homosexuals, because of what the new disease was soon dubbed "gay-related immunodeficiency." A coupl...

Scientists have called products that enhance intelligence

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 t...
