A study conducted by research specialists in Finland showed a worrying relationship between frequent use of social networks and increased risky alcohol consumption behavior and gambling problems, according to the “Infobay” news site.
According to the study, platforms specifically linked to these risky behaviors include “Facebook” and “Tik Tok,” while frequent use of “Instagram” was associated with high levels of alcohol drinking.
The study relied on the number of times participants used various digital platforms. This allowed specialists to measure and analyze the relationship between social media use and problematic behaviors such as excessive alcohol consumption and problematic gaming.
The results indicated that exposure to content that includes or promotes alcohol consumption and gaming activities on Facebook and TikTok can lead to the normalization of these behaviors among their users.
Additionally, interacting with friends and influencers who engage in these activities, often rewarded with likes and shares, can serve as a form of social learning, encouraging imitation of these risky behaviors.
On the other hand, the study showed that Instagram attracts users with different alcohol consumption behaviors and that use of this platform is more negative,

He was 23 years old when his mother Bianca Costa Bozzo founded Ceis Genova (Genoa Solidarity Centre) in 1974. But it was in 2006, when the founder passed away, that Enrico Cosa (in the opening photo) took up the baton at the helm of a reality that in half a century of history has welcomed and accompanied around 6,500 people with problems related to addictions. Since its origins, Ceis Genoa has been involved in human promotion in the field of prevention, reception, recovery and social reintegration of people with addiction problems (including specialist interventions for AIDS and psychiatric co-morbidity) and adolescents with psychiatric distress. In recent years, with the increase in the landings of asylum-seeking migrants, the Center has also dedicated itself to the reception of unaccompanied adults and minors, through the opening of over 35 facilities located in the Metropolitan City of Genoa and in western Liguria. Today Ceis Genoa (a total of 142 employees plus several collaborators) is a community of six entities distinct from a legal point of view, born at different times and closely linked to each other by a shared mission, the one that lies at the basis of the philosophy of “Progetto Uomo” created by Don Mario Picchi which can be summed up in one sentence: «We look at the person,
Dengue Cases Surpass Yearly Record in the Americas, Reaching 5.2 Million: PAHO
Dengue cases are surging in the Americas, surpassing a yearly record set in 2023, as reported by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO).
PAHO spokesperson Ashley Baldwin stated that as of Wednesday, there have been 5,214,480 reported cases of dengue in the Americas this year. This number exceeds the total reported cases in all of last year by nearly 700,000.
In response to this alarming increase in cases, PAHO Director Jarbas Barbosa emphasized the gravity of the situation during a news briefing on Thursday. “We are in an emergency situation because of dengue,” he declared.
The southern hemisphere has been hit particularly hard by this outbreak, with Brazil accounting for a majority of the cases. Earlier this year, Rio de Janeiro declared a state of public health emergency due to the spike in dengue infections.
Peru is also grappling with an overwhelming surge in dengue cases. The government announced that more than 134,000 cases have been recorded nationwide so far.
While some South American hotspots have experienced stabilization over recent weeks and months, PAHO has issued a warning to other countries across both hemispheres. As spring arrives and temperatures rise further northward after summer hits its peak below the equator during January and February ,
What is that extra hole for and what is the most common mistake: this is what runners need to know about their shoes
Revolutionizing Footwear: A New Approach to Running Shoes
Are custom orthotic insoles necessary for everyone? According to experts, about ten percent of runners may benefit from using orthotic insoles. In fact, many elite runners also rely on them for added support. For those who require orthotic insoles, it is often due to a lack of sufficient arch support. This can be remedied by adjusting the midsole or opting for custom orthotic insoles. However, it’s important to note that generic insoles, such as those found in everyday shoes or racing shoes, may not provide the necessary support. In running shoes, the insoles should be more flexible to accommodate the natural movement of the foot.
Are Expensive Running Shoes Always Better?
Contrary to popular belief, the price tag of a running shoe does not always determine its quality. While there is a correlation between price and quality, it’s essential to find a shoe that fits well and meets your specific needs. Your neighbor’s $200 shoe may not be the best option for you; a $140 shoe could be a better fit. Factors such as material durability and shoe weight contribute to the price, but don’t overlook mid-range options. Most high-quality training shoes fall within the $130 to $160 range,

Every year, April 20th is the “Day of Persons with Disabilities”. It was enacted to deepen the understanding of disabled people and encourage their motivation for rehabilitation.
When we think of “disability,” we often think of external disabilities such as physical disabilities, visual disabilities, hearing disabilities, and intellectual disabilities. However, there are many other types of disabilities registered as legal disabilities in Korea. It also includes disorders that cause internal discomfort, such as kidney disorders, heart disorders, respiratory disorders, liver disorders, and stoma/urostomy disorders.

Chronic kidney disease and kidney transplant patients are “kidney disabled”
━
The role of the kidneys, also called “kidneys” because of their red, bean-shaped color, is to filter waste products from the blood and excrete them through urine to help maintain homeostasis in the body. If there is an abnormality in kidney function, the amount of water in the body cannot be regulated consistently, resulting in edema. Subsequently, kidney function is damaged and uremia, in which waste products that should be excreted through urine build up in the blood, worsens and worsens into chronic kidney disease (chronic kidney failure).
