Creatine: Boosting Cognitive Functions Impaired by Sleep Deprivation, Study Finds
Creatine Use Linked to Enhanced Cognitive Function During Sleep Deprivation
Unlocking the Potential of Creatine: From Physical Performance Enhancer to Cognitive Booster
Recent research conducted by experts at Forschungszentrum Jülich has shed light on a fascinating aspect of creatine, a widely popular supplement primarily known for its positive impact on physical performance. The study, published in Scientific Reports, reveals that creatine can also temporarily enhance cognitive abilities affected by sleep deprivation.
Promising Results: Improved Processing Capacity and Short-Term Memory
In the study, 15 test subjects were intentionally deprived of sleep overnight while performing cognitive tasks. This deprivation triggers changes in brain metabolism that facilitate the cellular uptake of creatine. Prior to testing, participants re

Publika.az informs that infectious disease specialist, head of one of the medical centers, Yevgeny Timakov, spoke about this.
In the next two years, we will get sick more often and more severely
The expert believes that the past coronavirus years have had a direct impact on the current increase in influenza and SARS cases. We will probably see a similar incident pattern in the next two years, and because of this, more people will get sick, and the course of the disease will be more severe.
“Viruses have their cycles, they re-emerge after two to three years depending on the species and cause an increase in seasonality. However, we usually encounter them regularly, so the immune system is primed, immune memory is developed. It’s either an ‘old acquaintance’ ” allows us not to get sick at a new meeting, or to transmit th

Your period pain is not normal, these signs prove it
Our gynecologist is categorical: “It’s not normal to have pain during your period.”
The menstrual cycle is a physiological phenomenon which punctuates women’s lives and which is accompanied by numerous symptoms: fatigue, mood changes but also sometimes pain. Gold “It’s not normal to have pain during your period“ explains gynecologist Odile Bagot. In medical language, painful menstruation is called “dysmenorrhea“. Dysmenorrhea can be primary when it occurs in adolescence or secondary when it appears throughout the menstrual cycles. It can have several causes and be more or less disabling on a daily basis.
Ovarian pain
Pain may occur around theovulation i.e. around the 14th day for women who have 28 day cycles. We talk about “cyclical” pain. “If a woman presents with cyclical pain, the reflex will always be to analyze them in relation to the date of the period. This is the benchmark. The healthcare professional will then be able to relate them to menstruation or not” explains Dr. Bagot. Ovulation results in a small 2cm cyst that bursts. It can lead to “sensations” in women who feel a temporary discomfort. There is nothing to worry about. On the other hand, if ovulation is associated with significant pain during 2 to 3 days, you should talk to the doctor. “Sometimes we see ovaria

Pablo Serrao, from GE HealthCare: “The application of AI in medicine is revolutionary in many respects”
The great impact of artificial intelligence It is felt in all areas and one of those that generates the greatest expectations is medicine. There, AI-based applications can generate significant advances in the speed and quality of patient care
A recent study by the GE HealthCare company of 2,000 doctors in eight countries revealed that the majority of professionals believe that artificial intelligence can support decision making. clinical decisions (61%), allows quicker health interventions (54%) and helps to improve operational efficiency (55%). However, he warns that there is still mistrust of this technology, as only 42% believe the AI data is reliable. But it is also evident that most skeptics are doctors with more than 16 years of experience, which could indicate some sort of generation gap.
On the topic of artificial intelligence and how digital technology transforms healthcare, El Cronista spoke with Pablo Serrao, Country Manager of GE HealthCare Argentina.

A Long and Challenging Day in the Life of a Prison Guard
What happened on a warm and pleasant weekend afternoon
It was an unusually hot summer day. This day was also the weekend. The weekend was a quieter day than usual, so everyone relaxed and waited for work to arrive. “When I get home today, I have to eat grilled pork belly.” “No. At that time, full of all kinds of thoughts: “When I go home, I should first turn on the air conditioning and take a cold shower.”
“Ding~dong” the emergency bell rang. Eventually, the situation was broadcast via TRS (radio radio). “There is a patient in room 5 on the lower floor of Confinement Building 2. Inmate No. 286, XX, suffers from epilepsy and is having seizures. Please help him immediately.” “Damn, I was so free today… What happens before work?” Annoyed voices can be heard from everywhere. Since epileptic patients often have seizures, the staff didn’t give it much thought. But today something seemed unusual. In most cases, epilepsy symptoms improve within a few minutes after a seizure, but today seizure symptoms do not ease easily.
The subsequent situation was communicated to the TRS. “Inmate No. 286, whose symptoms of epilepsy have not stopped and are so severe, it seems necessary to immediately transfer him to an outside hospital.” If the seizure continues for a long time, the life of the inmate suffering from epilepsy may be in danger, so he had to be immediately transferred to the hospital and receive external treatment. It seemed like the decision had been made that I needed to see him.
I had never seen an epileptic patient in my life, so I was shocked the moment I met an inmate who had had a seizure. He was in a critical situation where his whole body was stiff, his eyes had lost focus and he wa

Dementia as a hereditary disease: Researchers find an important risk gene for Alzheimer’s
According to a recent study, people are very likely to develop Alzheimer’s symptoms if the so-called APOE gene is present twice in a particular variant. In addition, the disease begins several years earlier in them than in non-hereditary Alzheimer’s, a Spanish research team now reports in the journal “Nature Medicine”.
APOE is the abbreviation for apolipoprotein E, which has the task of bringing important nutrients to the nerve cells in the brain. In humans it occurs in three forms: APOE2, APOE3 or APOE4. And due to the double set of chromosomes, everyone carries the corresponding APOE gene twice in their genome. This may or may not be the same variant; It is then either homozygous or heterozygous, as it is called in technical jargon. According to the study, APOE4 homozygous people have a significantly increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease over the course of their lives compared to heterozygotes or non-carriers.
The APOE4 gene variant has long been associated with a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s, explains first author Juan Fortea from the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau in Barcelona. “But we now know that virtually all people who carry duplicates of this gene develop physical Alzheimer’s traits.” This is important because these people make up between two and three percent of the population, depending on the region.

In Germany, more than a million people are currently suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia. The cause of the disease has not yet been precisely clarified. The main suspicion, however, is directed against the protein fragment beta-amyloid (Aß), which forms deposits, so-called plaques, between nerve cells in the brain that are typical of the condition. These trigger a cascade of brain changes that ultimately damage the nerve cells

Scientists Create Terrifying Mutation of Ebola Virus, Revealing New Deadly Symptoms on Hamsters
A deadly virus occasionally causes a major outbreak of the disease
In China, scientists have created a mutation of the brutal Ebola virus, which kills people every year. The Daily Mail wrote about their work.
Experts decided to study the effects of the virus in the laboratory on hamsters in order to find a more effective medicine for humans. To do this, it was necessary to create a version that spreads throughout the body.
The test revealed the terrible consequences of the virus on different organs.
“A group of hamsters that received a lethal injection developed severe systemic illness similar to that seen in humans with Ebola, including multiple organ failure,” the paper’s authors said.
