the spring sun can damage the skin and burn it
According to Laura Vanagaitė, a pharmacist at “Gintarinė vaistinės”, even on cloudy days, about 80 percent of UV rays from the sun can penetrate through the skin. Such exposure can be harmful not only by causing skin burns or visible signs of aging such as wrinkles and hyperpigmentation, but it can also lead to the development of skin cancer.
“Even half an hour in the sun without sunscreen can cause skin burns, especially if the skin is more sensitive and lighter. This spring, the pharmacy already had to receive patients who severely burned their faces in the first spring sun because they had not applied special creams.
You should never leave children’s skin without sun protection. Also, a large number of residents have couperose skin, which is thin, sensitive, often dehydrated and very responsive to environmental factors – wind, sun, so it is necessary to protect it even more,” says L. Vanagaitė.
Are they applied or sprayed?
The pharmacist explains that UV rays from the sun, which are harmful to the skin, consist of UVB and UVA rays. UVB rays cause the skin to tan in the sun and play the biggest role in causing skin cancer if the skin is not protected.

Penopause is starting to gain recognition as an important aspect of male health. This stage of life, characterized by hormonal changes, is affecting an increasing number of men who are now more open about the personal and health challenges they face.
What exactly is penopause?
Penopause is a natural aging process in men, characterized by gradual changes in hormone levels and physical functions that spread over the years. During this phase, the body undergoes slow adjustments, including a gradual decline in testosterone levels. Unlike the hormonal shifts women experience during menopause, penopause develops over a longer period of time.
The hormone involved in menopause is testosterone. As one ages, testosterone production gradually decreases. This process can lead to a number of physical and mental changes. Various symptoms may emerge that one may experience such as: decreased energy, decrease in muscle mass, weight gain and a decrease in bone strength. In addition, testosterone can influence a reduced libido.
In addition to the physical aspects,
Stomach cancer: only one in five diagnoses is early
Late diagnoses, growing incidence and few therapeutic options. But also survival percentages which, although low in absolute terms (32%), are significantly higher than the European average (25%). Lights and shadows in the fight against stomach cancer in our country, an insidious neoplasm which in Italy is still diagnosed in the initial phase in only one patient out of five, due to non-specific symptoms and the population’s lack of knowledge of risk factors and of general practitioners. This is told by the experts who will meet tomorrow, April 27, in Rome for the “National Seminar on Gastric Cancer”, an event promoted and organized by the ODV Vivere Senza Stomaco (Si Gioca) association.

Incidence increasing
“In our country, every year new cases of gastric cancer amount to over 15 thousand – he states Claudia Santangelo, President of “Living Without a Stomach – The incidence is growing while the available therapeutic armamentarium is still quite limited. The oncological disease is very insidious and has a high risk of recurrence. The 360-degree management of the patient is fundamental, which must start with a diagnosis as early as possible.”

Scientists Discover Giant Viruses Targeting Deadly Naegleria Fowleri, Offering New Insights and Potential Water Treatment Solutions
A New Giant Virus Discovered at a Wastewater Treatment Plant
Researchers from the University of Vienna’s Center for Microbiology and Environmental Systems Science have made an exciting discovery at a wastewater treatment plant near Vienna. They have identified viruses that target the deadly single-celled organism Naegleria fowleri, shedding light on virus biology and potential water treatment solutions.
The team named these newly discovered viruses Naegleriavirus, belonging to the group of giant viruses known for their large-sized particles and complex genomes. The findings of this groundbreaking research have been published in Nature Communications, one of the most respected scientific journals.
Naegleria species are single-celled amoebae found in water bodies worldwide. Among them, Naegleria fowleri thrives in warm waters above 30°C and causes primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) – an extremely rare but almost always fatal brain infection. In their latest study, researchers led by Patrick Arthofer and Matthias Horn from the University of Vienna have isolated giant viruses that infect various Naegleria species.
Giant viruses, scientifically termed Nucleocytoviricota, were only discovered around two decades ago and primarily infect single-celled organisms. Their size rivals bacteria and they possess unique structures and genetic traits previously thought exclusive to cellular life.
Discovery of Giant Dinosaur Fossils in Patagonia Unveils Ancient World
RADAR WOMAN – Four years ago, in a remote desert area in the Patagonia region of Argentina, a ranger accidentally discovered something interesting that led to a profound scientific discovery.
While tending his land, the keeper noticed an old bone sticking out of the dry soil.
This seemingly small find is the tip of the ancient iceberg, an interesting glimpse into the prehistoric era waiting to be discovered.
The bones that appear indicate that there is an ancient world, in which large creatures that roamed the earth millions of years ago lived.
Recognizing the importance of the discovery, the curator immediately notified local authorities and paleontologists, starting a series of excavations and investigations that would uncover a treasure trove of ancient fossils.

If you suffer from insomnia, it is not a good idea to go to bed on an empty stomach: three foods that help you fall asleep
According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, insomnia is a common condition characterized by problems falling asleep, staying asleep, or getting a restful night’s rest.
That same body explains that it not only prevents falling asleep or maintaining it, but also affects the quality of life, generates fatigue, daytime sleepiness, and its duration can vary from days to weeks.
This disorder, which can be triggered by stress or changes in routine, has a cure in music, offering a sweet melody to calm the mind and promote rest.
What music is good for sleeping?
Music offers an effective remedy for insomnia, resulting in a significant improvement in quality of life.
According to the Body Mind website, certain melodies can exert a calming effect comparable to that of anti-anxiety and sedative medications used in surgeries with local anesthesia.
Beware of Warts: A Common Skin Issue In Spring
(Photo=Provided by Korea University Anam Hospital)
[리서치페이퍼 김상호 기자] Mr. Park (45 years old, male), whose hobby is hiking, hiked nearby every weekend as the spring season got warmer. One day I noticed there were hard, white, keratinous things on the soles of my feet. I thought I had gotten a callus from the hike, so I just scratched it with my hand and ignored it. A few days later two or three more similar lesions appeared, spread across the palm of my hand, and after checking that the number was increasing, I went to the hospital and they diagnosed me with warts, not calluses.
Warts, a viral skin disease, are a disease that occurs when the human papilloma virus (HPV) infects the surface of the skin. It occurs primarily on the hands and feet, and although it is relatively rare, it can occur anywhere on the skin of the body, including the scalp, face, and torso. Most papules are between 1 and 4 mm in size and have a rough, protruding surface, but depending on their location they can have a smooth surface or a flat thickness and, in some cases, they can be dark in color.
IMMUNOLOGY DAY 2024: The immune system plays a central role in healthy aging 2024-04-26 21:13:24
Our immune system plays a very central role in our health. From birth to old age, our immune system must constantly adapt to the new environment and learn to ward off threatening influences such as infections or cancer cells and, on the other hand, must not trigger excessive reactions
Univ.-Prof. Dr.Dr. Wolfram Hötzenecker, President of the Austrian Society for Allergology and Immunology (ÖGAI)
Vienna (OTS) – Immunology Day is celebrated worldwide on April 29th. This day of action is intended to raise awareness of the importance of immunology and immunological research in the fight for lifelong health and individual well-being. This year’s theme is: Immunity and Aging: Navigating the Science of Aging and Immunology! The Austrian Society for Allergology and Immunology (ÖGAI) is the national expert platform for scientifically proven information on immunology topics and provides recommendations for both doctors and the general public free of charge. More at www.oegai.org
Worldwide, the proportion of people over 60 in the population is increasing rapidly. By 2030 it will already be around a third. The performance of the immune system can decline, particularly as we get older. This year, “Immunology Day” is dedicated to the topic of healthy aging and provides information about how the immune system influences the aging process.
