The preeclampsia It is a disease that affects 2-3% of pregnancies and is one of the cmore serious complications during pregnancy as it affects the mother’s arteries that supply blood to the baby’s placenta
If the placenta does not get enough blood, the baby may receive inadequate blood and oxygen, and fewer nutrients. Additionally, preeclampsia increases the risk of placental abruption.
This also creates risks for the baby, such as growth problems, prematurity and even stillbirth.
Furthermore, preeclampsia is one of the main causes of maternal death during pregnancy and its effects can persist after birth, with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases in women who suffer from it.
Thus, a multicenter studyled by Gynecology and Obstetrics service of the Torrejón University Hospital, belonging to the public network of the Community of Madrid, and the iMaterna Foundationhas validated the main preeclampsia screening methods in the Spanish population, in order to establish preventive treatment in a high-risk population and thus avoid its appearance.
The most interesting thing about this study is to observe that in high-risk women, taking low-dose aspirin is a safe treatment during pregnancy and has been shown to reduce the incidence of the disease in clinical trials.

Learning to play a musical instrument protects the brain |
Music and brainan indissoluble bond that helps you feel better physically and psychologically. Learning to play as adults significantly improves the capabilities of our brain. This, in a nutshell, is the result of a study by the University of Exeter, which can be read in the scientific journal Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry.
Music and the brain: the idea for the research came from an Italian student
The fact that music is an elixir of youth for the brain is nothing new. Many studies have already confirmed over the years that just listening to a song we love can benefit our health.
Researchers at the British university are working on an online study called PROTECT. It is aimed at people who are at least forty years old. Over 25,000 volunteers participatedmonitored for ten years.
The experts focused on the effects they had thanks to musical experiences, with particular reference to those who decided to learn to play a musical instrument after the age of 40. The idea was launched by an Italian student, Gaia Veterewho attended medical courses at the University of Exeter.
Music and the brain: many studies on this beneficial relationship
Several studies had already confirmed the link between cognitive ability and knowing how to play a musical instrument.
Study Finds Higher Rates of Antidepressant Use in Women After Relationship Breakups Later in Life
Depression in women following relationship breakdowns later in life has been found to be more prevalent than in men, with women also being more likely to turn to antidepressant use, according to a study conducted by researchers at the European Research Council and Academy of Finland. The study examined data from 228,644 Finnish residents aged between 50 and 70 who had experienced a breakup or bereavement between the years 2000 and 2014. The findings revealed that women significantly increased their usage of antidepressants leading up to and following a breakup compared to men.
Of the participants, 33% were divorced, 30% had broken up with their partner and moved out, while another group of individuals (37%) experienced bereavement as a result of their partner’s death. Antidepressant use was found to increase for both genders during the six months preceding divorce, with rates reaching 5% in men and exceeding that figure at 7% for women. Although usage stabilized after one year for both genders, it remained higher in comparison to pre-divorce levels.
The study’s lead researcher, Prof Yaoyue Hu from Chongqing Medical University emphasized that these observed patterns may indicate that women face greater emotional challenges when adjusting to divorce or relationship breakdowns later in life compared with men.
Cat Scratches: When to Worry
Cats are recognized for their calming effect on their owners, having the ability to reduce anxiety and even slow cognitive decline. However, sometimes their sharp affection can leave behind painful scratches. But when do these minor incidents turn into serious medical concerns?
When scratches become more than superficial
Conform Dr. Barbara Bawer, a family physician at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, cat scratches are generally harmless, “except for the initial discomfort and healing of the scratch itself.” Problems arise, however, when the scratch site becomes infected, as “cats can transmit certain viruses and bacteria.”
One of the most common infections is cat scratch disease (CSD), caused by contact with the bacterium Bartonella henselae, according to verywellhealth.com. Dr. Tom Waters, MD at the Cleveland Clinic, points out that CSD often manifests as redness and swelling at the scratch site, accompanied by swollen lymph nodes. Symptoms include fever, muscle aches and loss of appetite.
Cats, although they show no symptoms of the disease, are the main carriers of this bacteria, often contracted through fleas. Therefore, establishing a flea treatment plan can reduce the risk of CSD.

FutureChems FC705: A Game-Changer in Prostate Cancer Treatment
FutureChem Acquires US Patent for Prostate Cancer Treatment “FC705” FutureChem acquired a patent for prostate cancer treatment in the United States after Europe and China.
FutureChem announced on the 7th that FC705, a radiopharmaceutical targeting cell membrane antigen (PSMA) for the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer, has obtained a patent registration in the United States.
The patent concerns a compound that specifically binds to the prostate-specific protein PSMA, which is overexpressed in prostate cancer. The compound included in the patent has the characteristic of binding specifically to PSMA, making it possible to treat not only metastatic prostate cancer but also microscopic cancer that cannot be treated with surgery.
FC705 was designed with the optimal compound structure through comparative research with existing materials based on FutureChem’s original technology.
In phase 1 clinical trials, the tumor uptake value, which is one of the criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of the treatment, is more than 60% higher even at half the dose compared to competing drugs from global pharmaceutical companies, the which can reduce the expensive costs of existing treatments.
The incidence of side effects is also very low, demonstrating the effectiveness and safety of the drug,
