Professor Juan Carlos Atencia at UPLaB: Fostering Student Interest in Biochemistry in the Faculty of Health Sciences
Dr. Juan Carlos Atencia is a professor at the Faculty of Health Sciences at the Provincial University of Laguna Blanca (UPLaB) and holder of the chair of Biochemistry in the Medicine program, who emphasized the interest shown by students in the classes.
“The new school year opened with many expectations,” he said in remarks collected by the Formosa News Agency (AGENFOR) and also emphasized the need to “enter a new, much deeper regime of study.”
In particular, regarding his professorship, he explained that it is crucial to how the body functions internally in the chemical part.
Atencia then said that the students are a homogeneous group of young people and that they show interest from the first day of classes, because they are “very involved”.
In addition, he said that the University has a platform where all practical materials are uploaded, that is, “everything is information so that the student can have material to study”. as well as having a library.
It is important to point out that a decision was made by Governor Gildo Insfrán, who attacked the building of the Faculty of Health Sciences on April 29, which was equipped with everything necessary to provide excellent training.
The Impact of Air Pollution on Fetal Development: Findings from Inserm Research
2024-05-08 09:47:00
the essentials A team of researchers from Inserm was interested in the influence of air pollution on genes in the placenta. The more mothers are exposed to it, the more this pollution affects the genes involved, for example in the development of the immune system, the nervous system or even the intellect.
Does air pollution affect fetal development? This is suspected, recalls the National Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm), to be the cause of cardiometabolic, respiratory or even neuropsychological pathologies in the unborn child. But by what mechanisms? This is what a team from Inserm wanted to understand, which published their work in the journal The Lancet Planetary Health.
She was particularly interested in the placenta, which is largely involved in the development of the fetus. “Especially vulnerable to many chemical compounds, it can be compared to an ‘archive’ that bears witness to the child’s prenatal environment: the epigenetic modifications (modification of genes without modification of DNA, ed. note) that occur in the cells partly reflect the environmental exposures of the mother during pregnancy,” specifies Inserm in a press release dated May 7. To assess these modifications, we measure the level of methylation of placental DNA: these are chemical modifications involved in the control and expression of genes.

GLP-1 Weight Loss Drugs and Pregnancy: The Unknown Risks and Potential Benefits
“Ozempic Babies” Raise Concerns About the Safety of GLP-1 Drugs During Pregnancy
Catera Bentley’s journey to motherhood was filled with emotions. Diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), she had been trying to conceive for over two years. The weight loss medication, Mounjaro, changed her life and unexpectedly led to her pregnancy. Bentley’s story is not uncommon, as a growing number of women have shared similar experiences after using GLP-1 receptor agonist drugs.
The Weight Loss Effect on Fertility
GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic and Mounjaro are primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes by regulating insulin and appetite. Studies have shown that these drugs can lead to significant weight loss, making them attractive options for individuals struggling with obesity or PCOS.
“If you start on these medicines and then you lose weight, very often, you will have an improvement in ovulation,” explains Dr. Daniel Drucker from the University of Toronto’s Mount Sinai Hospital.
In cases where irregular menstrual cycles are caused by excess weight or hormonal imbalances associated with PCOS, losing weight can restore normal ovulation. However, it is essential for women who plan to get pregnant to consult their doctors before continuing the use of GLP-1 drugs.
Oncological oblivion, for some tumors a year can be enough
There are tumors for which the right to oncological oblivion “triggers” before 5 years (for pediatric patients) and 10 years (for adult patients) from the end of the treatment or from the last surgical operation provided for by the general law approved on last December. In fact, the decree of the Ministry of Health is published in the Official Journal which contains the list of neoplasms for which shorter time periods apply. In some cases, it may take just one year to be declared cured and no longer be obliged to declare having been a cancer patient: for example in stage I colorectal cancer, in stage I-II breast cancer, in of the testicle in stage I. Again: in the case of cancer of the body of the uterus, the term is 5 years; for melanoma it is 6 years for people over 21 years of age, for stage II-III colorectal cancer it is 7 years.

7 tips for living a longer life (and avoiding inflammation)
Scientists are clear: to age in good health and improve your life expectancy, it is imperative to avoid generalized inflammation of the body. This phenomenon would in fact be a contributing factor for many health concerns – cardiovascular disorders, senile dementia, loss of muscle mass, repeated bacterial and viral infections, etc.
To limit the risk of developing this famous generalized inflammation of the body, the University of Birmingham (in Great Britain) offers 7 tips that are not difficult to apply on a daily basis:
Move as often as possible
In addition to being excellent for the figure as well as for preventing many cardiovascular diseases (type 2 diabetes, for example), physical activity also helps reduce inflammation in the body. Researchers at the University of Birmingham recommend getting at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity each week.
Monitor your weight
Excess fat mass promotes generalized inflammation in the body. Indeed, adipose tissues naturally produce pro-inflammatory cytokines. British researchers therefore recommend adopting a varied and balanced diet to reduce this phenomenon.
Eat more fruits and vegetables
It’s proven: the Mediterranean diet (which emphasizes fruits and vegetables, and especially green leafy vegetables like spinach or kale) reduces markers of inflammation in the body.
Drinking 2 cups of coffee a day can reduce fatty liver

Coffee has long been thought to protect the liver, so a group of scientists from Eulji University and Hanyang University (Seoul – Korea) took a detailed look at the effects of drinking coffee at different levels. How about fatty liver?
Experts believe that metabolic fatty liver disease is a new term proposed based on consensus to replace the term fatty liver caused by beer and alcohol.
This is a condition that affects much of the global population, and has the potential to lead to progressive cirrhosis and other serious complications.
According to statistics, in Korea, 2.8% of the population has cirrhosis and 13% of this population is due to fatty liver. A previous 14-year study showed that the risk of premature death increased by 1.71% in people with fatty liver disease and was 2.44 times higher in people with cirrhosis.
Coffee is now a familiar drink for many people around the world and has an impact on fatty liver.
Korean experts decided to learn more about 8,000 volunteers,
How to detect glaucoma in time?
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, explains the Mayo Clinic Institute. Its specialists affirm that this condition can appear at any age, but it is more common in older adults and is one of the main causes of blindness in people over 60 years of age.
When taking care of the health of our eyes, it is important to perform periodic examinations because if glaucoma is diagnosed early, vision loss could be reduced.
Otherwise, Mayo Clinic states that the patient will need treatment for the rest of their life, which is why they require our special attention.
Glaucoma detection
As it is also a genetic disease, glaucoma invites young people to be attentive if there is a history within the family. For that reason, it is that Its early detection is possible, so periodic complete eye exams are necessary, especially for those people who have high blood p ressure or diabetes.
In cases where glaucoma is detected in its initial phase, the patient will begin treatment through eye drops daily. This treatment will seek to reduce eye pressure and reduce the amount of aqueous fluid that the eye itself is responsible for producing.
