Eye Doctor Reveals Essential Tips for Selecting and Wearing Sunglasses for UV Protection
An Eye-Opening Revelation: The Importance of Quality Sunglasses
In today’s world, where trends come and go at lightning speed, it’s easy to get caught up in the allure of cheap and fashionable accessories. However, one TikTok user recently learned the hard way that choosing cheap sunglasses can have serious consequences.
In a cautionary tale that quickly went viral, TikTok user @courtney_courtney shared her experience of purchasing a pair of “$5 trendy-as-sunglasses” from Amazon. She soon discovered that these sunglasses didn’t provide adequate protection against harmful UV rays, and as a result, she was diagnosed with pinguecula — yellow-colored growths on the white part of her eyes.
This story serves as a reminder that the allure of affordable accessories shouldn’t

[메디컬투데이=이승재 기자] Research results have shown that brown fat activation is related to obesity prevention.
The results of an experimental study examining changes in mice when a specific protein related to brown fat inactivation was inhibited was published in the journal Nature Metabolism.
According to studies, the number of obese people around the world exceeds 1 billion. Obesity must be actively managed because it harms overall health and increases the risk of various diseases.
Recently, ‘brown fat’ has been attracting attention as something that helps our body’s metabolic health. Mammals, including humans, have two types of fat tissue: white fat and brown fat. White fat is a tissue that stores calories, and when white fat increases, various health problems such as obesity occur. On the other hand, brown fat plays a role in consuming calories by converting them into heat.
Revisiting Humanism and Professionalism in Modern Medicine: A Call for Compassionate Healthcare
Dr. A.S. Fernando Mugarza, director of corporate development and communication at the IDIS Foundation, emphasizes the importance of humanism and professionalism in the practice of medicine. In a world where technological advances often overshadow the fundamental values that should guide medical practice, Dr. Mugarza reminds us of the necessity to promote compassionate and patient-centered healthcare.
Beyond the use of cutting-edge technologies and medical procedures, the essence of medicine lies in serving others with dignity, respect, and compassion. Each patient is unique and deserves comprehensive care that takes into account not only their physical health but also their emotions, social context, and individual preferences.
While technology has revolutionized medical practice, it is crucial to balance its use with empathetic and patient-centered care. Patients must feel heard, understood, and respected through empathetic communication by health professionals. This humanistic approach not only improves the care experience but also strengthens the doctor-patient relationship and fosters mutual trust and collaboration.
Dr. Mugarza also emphasizes the need to shift towards a society focused on prevention and healthy habits, rather than waiting for health problems to arise. Educating the population about leading a healthy lifestyle and empowering individuals to actively participate in managing their own health is essential for building a compassionate and effective healthcare system.
Link Found Between Diet, Metabolic Conditions, and Cancer Risk: Discovery of Mechanism Inactivating Tumor-Suppressing Genes Sheds Light on Connection
The Surprising Link Between Glucose Metabolism and Cancer Development
Scientific discoveries often challenge long-standing theories, revolutionizing our understanding of complex phenomena. In a groundbreaking study conducted by researchers from Singapore and the UK, a previously unknown mechanism has been revealed, shedding light on the connection between an unhealthy diet or unmanaged metabolic conditions like diabetes and increased cancer risk.
Genes that Suppress Tumor Formation
This study explored how changes in glucose metabolism can enable cancer growth by temporarily deactivating a gene known as BRCA2, which acts as a safeguard against tumor formation.
“These findings raise awareness of the impact of diet and weight control in the management of cancer risks,” says lead author Li Ren Kong.
Astonishingly, this discovery challenges the widely accepted “two-hit” paradigm proposed by Knudson in 1971. According to this theory, both copies of a tumor suppressor gene must be permanently inactivated before cancer can develop. However, recent research suggests that even a mutation in just one copy of BRCA2 significantly increases susceptibility to various cancers.
BRCA2’s Vulnerability to Environmental Stressors
This vulnerability becomes especially apparent when cells with mutated BRCA2 are exposed to environmental toxins like formaldehyde or acetaldehyde.
Alberto Fernndez Gives Explosive Interview Criticizing Government and Defending Administration
The former president appeared again in a report after being in Government (Grade: C+)
The former president Alberto Fernandez He gave a report after months in which he had only expressed himself through his social networks. It was with the channel C+where the head of state repeated his criticism of governance Javier Miley as head of state and said in the treatment that the Basic Law and the Fiscal Package. About them, he warned the Deputy Ministers who gave him half control and before the debate that the senators will give.
“I want to remind the congressmen that Raúl Alfonsín inserted a chapter in the Penal Code called ‘crimes that threaten the constitutional order and democratic life’ and that one of these articles punish legislators who give excessive power to the power of the Government. So prepare yourself,” said Alberto Fernández and confirmed that he believes that the role of legislators will have criminal consequences. “I have no doubt, I have never seen anything like it,” he said.
“It cannot be compared to anything in Argentine history, mainly the DNU, the law is unconstitutional as long as it ends the republican system of Government,” he said.
Little known, this anti-cholesterol vegetable is excellent for the heart
It would be able to significantly reduce the level of bad cholesterol and triglycerides.
Eating fruits and vegetables helps maintain good cardiovascular health. But not all vegetables are equal, as Chinese researchers show in the scientific journal Food & Function. According to them, a family of vegetables is particularly protective for the heart and arteries, much more than other vegetables. One of these vegetables, little consumed in France, would be particularly good for reducing cholesterol, one of the main cardiovascular risk factors.
This vegetable is easily found in supermarkets, in greengrocers, in markets or even in Asian grocery stores. You’ve probably seen it before without paying attention. It is very popular for its slightly spicy taste and crunchy texture. Star of Asian cuisine, it is cultivated as a vegetable plant whose stems and leaves are eaten. This famous vegetable is none other than Chinese cabbage or bok choy. It looks like romaine lettuce or a chard with its long, curly green leaves. To demonstrate its cardioprotective effect, the researchers carried out an experiment on 56 hamsters. These animals were randomly distributed into several groups, each with a specific diet followed for 56 days: normal diet (A),

What to do with children who want to be alone? 2024-05-06 02:13:40
Sometimes children, like adults, try to be lonely, to be alone for a certain period of time.
Of course, this is usually an adult desire, but children also sometimes crave to be alone. In particular, being alone is very important for babies, children and teenagers in terms of personality development.
We often think that babies and children need constant supervision. Yes, children need supervision, but children also need solitude. Children’s ability to spend time on their own helps them develop in many ways, from independence to impulse control.
On topic expert-clinical psychologist Narync Rustamova Publika.azsaid in his statement that in general, leaving children alone should not be equated with leaving them unsupervised. At a certain age, children’s needs for games and toys change in different ways.
“It should be noted that children under the age of 3 prefer to play alone. After the age of 3, they show interest in collective games, which we call “parallel game”. These also play a certain role in the development of the child at such a time. By the age of 3, children play one-sided games by dividing the toy into parts, re-thinking and combining the toys they divided into parts,
