Loss of Visual Sensitivity Reveals Early Dementia Risk, Study Finds
Can the Eyes Reveal the Early Signs of Cognitive Decline?
Eyes: The Window to Brain Health
The eyes are often referred to as the windows to our souls, but they may also provide valuable insight into the health of our brains. Recent research suggests that problems with visual sensitivity could be an early indicator of cognitive decline and even predict dementia years before it is diagnosed.
The Study: Unveiling Clues Through Visual Sensitivity
A groundbreaking study conducted in Norfolk, England, followed 8,623 initially healthy individuals over several years. By the end of the study, 537 participants had developed dementia. Analyzing their earlier assessments allowed researchers to identify potential precursors to this neurological disorder.
- Participants were initially asked to take a visual sensitivity test at the onset of the study.
- The test involved pressing a button upon perceiving a forming triangle amidst moving dots on a screen.
- It was observed that those who later developed dementia exhibited significantly slower response times in recognizing these triangles compared to those who remained unaffected by cognitive decline.
This raises an intriguing question: why does impaired visual sensitivity precede memory-related symptoms?

Olomouc: Věra Zukalová (49) is the 1st oncology ambassador in the Czech Republic
It helps patients cope with a difficult period of life. “We take it for granted that the father is at the birth. This is a great thing. But imagine you are going for your first chemotherapy. You don’t know what it will be like if it helps. The darkest thoughts run through your head and you are alone. You have no one to hold your hand, to support you,” describes Mrs. Věra.
Hana Študentová, head of oncology, came up with the idea of an ambassador who would be a guide and support for patients during demanding treatment. “I was thinking about how to improve patients’ quality of life during treatment. I knew from the beginning that the ambassador had to be someone who had experienced it all himself,” he says. Then she got a tip about Mrs. Věra.
At first she refused
“The first time I refused it, saying that it was a full-time job. But then the director of the hospital contacted me to try to do a project. Well, a few months ago I started working full-time as a full-time employee of the hospital in the position of the first hospital ambassador in the country,” depicts.
As the ambassador tries to improve the mental side of the patients, they also get better treatment results. “We went into it with some expectations and I’m very happy that the reality far exceeded these expec

UGT denounces that doctors without a specialty in family medicine serve in the CARPA without supervision
#UGT #denounces #doctors #specialty #family #medicine #serve #CARPA #supervision
Doctors without a specialty in Family and Community Medicine are caring for citizens in the Primary Care Emergency Service (SUAP) of Logroño without the supervision of a specialist doctor. This is what UGT has denounced in the Rioja Health Council. And the union formation, in the words of the secretary of the sector, Nuria Aldonza, censures that “during the month of April, for example, some of these doctors without a specialty worked up to 27 days, and on 11 they practiced without any type of supervision.” from a specialist physician.” Something that is not “punctual and that has been happening month after month, which causes MIR doctors (future specialists) not to want to carry out their training at the SUAP of Logroño, since they are in charge of doctors not qualified for the training of specialists. ”.

In science
Interestingly, finding examples of sodium chloride compounds in everyday life is not difficult. There is also an example of the sodium chloride compound that is used every day.
Formula and examples of the sodium chloride compound
Previously, you also need to know that sodium is a chemical element included in group 1 or alkali metal. Basically, elements that include alkali metals have reactive properties or react easily with other elements. For example, like sodium chloride.
Quoting from the book Basic chemistry 1, Abdul Rasid Saraha, Khusna Arif Rakhman and Nurul Aulia Rahman (2017:53), the formula for the sodium chloride compound, namely NaCl.
So, sodium chloride is an inorganic salt ionic compound consisting of sodium ions and chloride ions. This is what causes sodium chloride to form salty-tasting white crystals.
The metallic sodium in NaCl functions as a cation (negatively charged ion) that donates a valence electron. Meanwhile, chlorine gas acts as an anion (negatively charged ion) that accepts a valence electron from sodium.
This is done so that sodium and chlorine can reach a stable octet state with eight valence electrons. Therefore, the two bond together with ionic bonds.

Optimizing Exercise Times for Maximum Effectiveness
If you set the exercise time according to your lifestyle, exercise purpose and biological rhythm, you can not only keep it consistent but also maximize the effect. We introduce good exercises for each time zone, such as breakfast, lunch and dinner.

1. Morning
Fasting exercise is effective in burning fat accumulated in the body. It is especially suitable for patients with fatty liver as it burns the fat accumulated in the liver. Aerobic exercise, such as simple stretching and walking, is best recommended in the morning. However, people with diabetes, hypertension or arthritis should avoid exercising on an empty stomach.
2. Lunch
If your goal is to control your blood sugar, it’s best to do it after a meal. After lunch it’s a good idea to do large muscle exercises such as squats, lunges or climbing stairs.
3. Dinner
Around 7pm is the time when hormone secretion increases, so it is more effective to exercise to increase muscle mass. High-intensity exercises such as strength training, HIIT (high-intensity interval training), and circuit training are recommended. However, since you remain alert after exercise, it is best to finish exercise 3 hours before going to sleep.

Eating Certain Foods Raises Your Risk of Cancer, Experts Warn
How to Reduce your Risk of Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide
Processed Meat
Experts advise against consuming processed meat if you want to minimize your risk of cancer. Sausages, bacon, salami, chorizo, ham, and hot dogs are all examples of processed meats known to increase cancer risk. Processed meat refers to animal flesh that has been treated to increase shelf life or enhance flavor. The addition of chemical preservatives, such as nitrates, is commonly used to achieve these outcomes. Curing, smoking, or salting meat are further processing methods.
When consumed, nitrates can turn into a substance called N-nitroso chemicals (NOCs), which can damage cells that line the bowel and lead to the development of cancer. Processed meat has been classified as a ‘class one carcinogen’ by the World Health Organization (WHO), the same classification as smoking and alcohol. However, it is important to note that the classification is based on the strength of evidence that processed meat can cause cancer, rather than on the actual cancer risk itself.
Understanding WHO Carcinogen Classification
The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies substances based on the level of certainty that they can cause cancer. However, this classification does not directly indicate the level of risk associated with exposure. The classification categories are as follows:
- Group 1: Carcinogenic to humans with sufficient evidence of their ability to cause cancer
- Group 2A: Limited evidence of their ability to cause cancer in humans, but sufficient evidence in animal experiments
- Group 2B: Limited evidence of their ability to cause cancer in humans and less than sufficient evidence in animal experiments
- Group 3: Inadequate evidence to evaluate their ability to cause cancer in humans
While processed meat falls under the G
