The blocking effect for UVB is checked by the UV protection factor (SPF), and for UVA, the blocking effect is checked by the UVA protection grade (PA). The SPF index is indicated by individual numbers for those under 50, and 50+ for those over 50, and the PA grade is indicated as PA+, PA++, PA+++, and PA++++.
The higher the number and the more +,
Urinary Incontinence Solutions: Strategies for Regaining Bladder Control

Duration of medical postgraduate degrees under discussion
#Duration #medical #postgraduate #degrees #discussion
José Ramón García, deputy director of postgraduate studies at the Central University of Venezuela, explained that Medicine postgraduate degrees have different durations in different universities in the country and it is proposed to unify them.
Caracas. “The information shown in the document is part of approaches that, until now, are not definitive”pointed out José Ramón García, deputy director of postgraduate from the Central University of Venezuela (UCV), in reference to the images released through social networks, which show the new agreements of medical schools from several universities in the country.
The dissemination of part of the document shows the changes around the duration of postgraduate periods.
“Postgraduate degrees at different universities have different durations. For example, the Pediatric Surgery postgraduate degree at the UCV is three years, but in Maracaibo it is five years. So we are looking to unify”Garcia stated.
In that sense, he pointed out that most programs have a duration of four years, but others have a priority. “That means that to do a postgraduate degree in Cardiology, you must have training in Internal Medicine first.”.
The duration dates of postgraduate courses in different specialties in the medical area seek to be unified in all Venezuelan universities.
Millions of those affected! The 4 major widespread diseases in Germany
What do people in Germany get sick with? FOCUS provides online information about a major topic four major widespread diseases
Krebs,
cardiovascular diseases,
Dementia,
and depression.
Never before have so many people been sick with it as they are currently. This is particularly due to the aging society. As with many diseases, the risk of cancer, heart disease or dementia increases with age. In the growing number of people with depression, destigmatization also plays a role, which is a positive development. You can read further factors and more detailed background in the individual articles.
Specifically, the medical background surrounding causes, symptoms, risk factors and treatment options are examined. At the same time, we show you what you can do for each illness to minimize the risk. In case histories, one affected person also reports on their life with cancer, heart disease, dementia or depression – moving, sometimes sad, but always encouraging.
1. Main topic: Cardiovascular diseases (Monday)
Cardiovascular diseases are considered “silent killers” – they go unnoticed for a long time, but can then be fatal. In Germany they are responsible for around 40 percent of all deaths and are therefore the most common cause of death.
Texas Cats on Dairy Farm Die After Consuming Raw Milk Contaminated with Bird Flu, CDC Warns
The Health Risks of Drinking Raw Milk: What You Need to Know
A recent report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has highlighted the dangers of consuming raw milk from dairy cows affected by bird flu. The report revealed that a group of cats on a Texas dairy farm died after drinking unpasteurized milk from infected cows. The felines developed fatal systemic influenza infection, displaying symptoms such as depression, impaired coordination, blindness, and circling.
While exposure to dead wild birds cannot be completely ruled out as a potential source of the virus, the report identified milk and colostrum as a likely route of exposure. Tissue samples from two deceased cats tested positive for the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus. This finding emphasizes the importance of pasteurizing milk and eliminating any potential health risks associated with consuming raw dairy products.
Pasteurization eliminates risk, experts say
Before commercial sale, raw milk must undergo pasteurization according to government regulations in order to ensure its safety for consumption. Pasteurization involves heating raw milk to specific temperatures for a brief period before chilling it again. This process effectively kills pathogens present in the milk.
Top 6 Daily Habits That Can Harm Your Brain MD Web Study
Jakarta –
The brain is one of the vital organs in the human body. The brain has many important functions, from regulating vision, hearing, memory, heartbeat, to body movements. Because of its very important role, it is important to always maintain brain health.
But without realizing it, there are several daily habits that can harm the brain. Even if done for a long time, these habits can increase the risk of brain problems, such as dementia and Alzheimer’s.
So, what are the daily habits that could harm the brain? Quoted from MD webbelow is the discussion.
1. Often stay up late
Whether intentional or not, staying up late has become a part of many people’s daily lives. If done occasionally, staying up late doesn’t have a big impact. However, staying up late can often harm brain function and health.
Staying up late often can increase the workload of the brain. Gradually, this increases the risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Therefore, it is important that the body rests regularly every day, at least by sleeping 7-8 hours every night.

Early Cholesterol Testing Can Prevent Heart Disease in Children, Research Shows
There is research in Australia that argues the public should test their cholesterol levels at an earlier stage.
High cholesterol can accelerate atherosclerosis and pose the risk of cardiovascular disease, but many people don’t get blood tests until middle age or even later to evaluate their cholesterol levels. Research conducted in Australia argues that the public should check their cholesterol levels at an early stage, because preventing and reducing bad cholesterol in children and adolescents can more effectively prevent premature heart disease.
Followed more than 5,000 children
The study, published in JAMA, followed the health status of more than 5,000 children in the United States and Finland over an extended period of time to find possible ways to reverse the adverse effects of dyslipidemia in children and adolescents. The findings show that if bad cholesterol levels can be controlled early, the risk of developing related cardiovascular diseases in the future is similar to that of people with normal cholesterol levels.
Following a healthy lifestyle, including a careful diet and regular exercise, can help reduce levels of bad steroids.

WHO ANNOUNCED The countries of the world are facing a shortage of medicines 2024-05-04 05:49:41
Against the background of the increase in the number of infectious diseases, there is a shortage of antibiotics, especially “Penicillin” and “Amoxicillin”.
Publika.az “Financial Times” newspaper reported on this with reference to Lisa Hedman, the head of WHO’s drug supply and access group. According to Lisa Hedman, many countries are facing an acute shortage of penicillin antibiotics. For example, there is a shortage of “Amoxicillin” in the USA and Canada, and in the European Union, 25 out of 27 member countries have declared a shortage of some antibiotics. At the same time, Hedman noted that there is little information about the current situation in poorer countries. But it is clear that they could suffer more if their currency depreciates.
Health experts said drugmakers have reduced production due to reduced demand for antibiotics during the coronavirus pandemic and severe strain on supply chains. Also, pharmaceutical companies are unable to ramp up production due to supply and regulatory constraints. The article noted that there are difficulties in obtaining components, especially for the production of antibiotics. The increase in energy prices also causes a decrease in the profits of production enterprises.
“Countries did not expect respiratory infections to hit us so hard after the mask ban,” Hedman said of the reasons for the shortage.
