Eating Ultraprocessed Foods Linked to Higher Risk of Early Death, Finds 30-Year Study
Are Ultraprocessed Foods Leading Us to an Early Grave?
A groundbreaking 30-year study published in the BMJ journal has unveiled a worrisome connection between ultraprocessed foods and a higher risk of premature death. The research, based on the eating habits of 115,000 participants, indicates that a greater consumption of ultraprocessed foods is associated with an elevated mortality risk.
The study highlights the specific impact of various food groups on mortality rates. Interestingly, “ready-to-eat” products from the meat, poultry, and seafood categories displayed notably strong associations with increased risk of death.
- Fueling Our Fears
“Ultra-processed foods, which are typically of low nutritional quality and high energy density, have been dominating the food supply of high-income countries”
This revelation comes as no surprise given that ultraprocessed foods constitute a significant portion of daily energy intake for Americans. Shockingly, adults in the United States source around 57 percent of their daily energy from these processed products; this figure jumps even higher to 67 percent

Frequently adding salt to your meals increases the risk of stomach cancer
– 2024-05-09 11:44:04
Link between salt consumption and stomach cancer shown for the first time in Western countries
Vienna (OTS) – In Asian countries where high-salt foods are popular, the connection between high salt consumption and stomach cancer has already been proven. A long-term study by the MedUni Vienna has now shown for the first time that this risk is also reflected in the cancer statistics in Europe. As the analysis recently published in the journal “Gastric Cancer” shows, people who frequently add salt to their food are around 40 percent more likely to develop stomach cancer than those who do not use the salt shaker at the table.
Data from more than 470,000 adults from the large-scale British cohort study “UK-Biobank” were analyzed. Among other things, the answers to the question: “How often do you add salt to your meals?”

Exploring the Future of Space Crime Investigations: The Impact of Human Migration on Other Planets
A small number of scholars are conducting research on space crime investigations with human migration on the planet in mind. There has been a lot of interest in whether if people leave Earth and live on other planets or colonies, crime patterns and investigations might be different than on Earth.
Jack Kowalski, a researcher at the University of Staffordshire in the United Kingdom, published the results of an experiment that reproduced how human blood disperses in weightlessness in the latest issue of the international academic journal Forensic Science International.
Researchers have predicted that if humans live together somewhere in space, crimes will inevitably occur. If the environment in which humans live is completely different from that on Earth, it is expected that the types and methods of crime as well as investigation methods will be different from those on Earth.

The Importance of Disease Prevention and the Role of Infection Prevention Specialists: A Case Study from Argos Zorggroep
Disease prevention has been an important topic for years Argos Zorggroep, according to manager Nicoline van der Hagen. And even more so from corona. “I will never forget how visitors had to stay outside the walls of the nursing home. And their loved ones alone in their room behind the window. Since then, the words “close house” have had many meanings behind them. Never again! That’s partly why we wanted to have an infection preventionist (DI) in-house.’
Edward already worked at Argos Zorggroep as a higher professional nurse and started training to become a DI in 2022. He worked 3 days a week Franciscus Gasthuis & Vlietland. This is a recognized workplace from the Zorgopleidingen College (CZO). Nicoline was already working with this hospital. During the training, Edward worked 1 day a week at Argos Zorggroep as a DI. Now that he has a diploma, the rotation of working days is reversed. This means that he now works 3 days at Argos Zorggroep and 1 day at the hospital.
What are 3 benefits of having your own infection prevention specialist?
1. Existing advice and guidance
Current knowledge from involvement in projects, such as good hand hygiene or the correct use of gloves, for example ABR Network, he participates in consultations and the disease prevention committee. It also brings new knowledge, useful protocols and laboratory results from the hospital. It translates this knowledge and information into nursing home care.
Example: According to the instructions, you have an outbreak with 2 infected residents and you have to close a department to prevent the spread. Edward: ‘We are looking at what is still possible with customisation. Can we maybe work with face masks, so someone can still go out?’
In this way he can give special advice to the different departments about disease prevention policy. Or it can make them look at each other to see how the other has arranged something. Because he knows the nursing homes and the departments, he ca

Revolutionary Pulsed Field Ablation at McGill University Health Center Transforming Atrial Fibrillation Treatment
2024-05-09 19:31:15
MONTREAL — McGill University Health Center (MUHC) is the first health center in Quebec to offer a new intervention that is said to be faster, more effective and safer to address a problem with atrial fibrillation, the most common form of heart arrhythmia.
Pulse field ablation, as the name suggests, emits pulsating electrical fields to interrupt the irregular electrical signals that cause atrial fibrillation.
“We can use an entire treatment in a fraction of a second,” described the director of the cardiology department at the MUHC, Dr. Atul Verma.
By comparison, he continues, traditional interventions that use thermal energy can last two or three minutes. The new technology can therefore reduce the overall duration of the procedure b
