Dementia Contrary to previous research a diet rich in antioxidants may not reduce a person s risk for stroke
or dementia a new study says. Researchers analyzed information from more than 5300 people ages 55 and older living in The netherlands.
Fourteen years later about 600 people had developed dementia and 600 had suffered a stroke. People who reported diets high in antioxidants were
just as likely to develop dementia or have a stroke during the study period as individuals who consumed diets that were low in antioxidants.
 Interestingly previous studies that used information from this same group of people found a link between consumption of Vitamin e and a lower risk of dementia and between consumption of Vitamin c and a lower risk of stroke.

#Can Folic acid Prevent Autism? Women who take folic acid supplements before becoming pregnant as well as early in pregnancy may reduce the risk of having a child with an autism spectrum disorder according to a new study.
Researchers followed 85176 babies born between 2002 and 2008 for three to 10 years to determine
whether their mother's use of folic acid supplements influenced the risk of developing an autism spectrum disorder.
The babies were part of the Autism Birth Cohort Study a subset of the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study (Moba.
At the end of follow-up period 270 children had been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder: 114 with autistic disorder (0. 13 percent) 56 with Asperger Syndrome (0. 07 percent) and 100 with PDD-NOS or pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified (0. 12 percent.

#Eating Fish During Pregnancy May Lower Anxiety Eating at least some fish during pregnancy may lower women's risk of anxiety a new study suggests.
or oily fish (such as tuna and salmon) were 53 percent more likely to have high levels of anxiety in their third trimester of pregnancy compared with women who ate fish at least once a week.
The researchers also found that among vegetarian women those who had the strictest diets were 25 percent more likely to have compared anxiety with women who followed more flexible vegetarian diets and occasionally consumed fish or meat.
The link between higher fish consumption and lower risk for anxiety may be due to the omega-3 fatty acids in fish the researchers said writing in their study published July 12 in the journal PLOS ONE.
While stress is not uncommon in pregnant women studies have linked high levels of anxiety to babies being born prematurely or with low weight.
We continue to see consistent data from many studies suggesting that omega-3s have an impact on a range of behavioral disorders such as depression anxiety
or schizophrenia said Dr. Ski Chilton professor of physiology and pharmacology at Wake Forest School of medicine who was involved not in the study.
The lack of fish and meat in a vegetarian diet may explain why vegetarian women in the study tended to experience more anxiety the researchers said.
At the 32 weeks of pregnancy the women completed questionnaires and those who scored in the top 15 percent were classified as having high levels of anxiety.

#H7n9 Bird flu Virus Capable of Airborne Transmission One strain of the H7n9 bird flu virus appears to spread easily through the air between ferrets which are a good model for how the virus may spread in humans a new study from China says.
Researchers tested transmission of five strains of H7n9 all taken from people who got sick with the virus. Some ferrets were infected directly with the virus
 All five strains of H7n9 were able to spread through the air between ferrets
but four of the strains did not transmit very well. However one strain was able to spread very well it infected 100 percent of the ferrets who were exposed to it through the air.
So far there have been no reports of sustained human-to-human transmission with H7n9 bird flu.
However Webby noted the study tested just one strain of H7n9 and there are other strains out there that may act differently.
The study conducted by researchers at the University of Hong kong and others is published today (May 23) in the journal Science.

Chinese officials nd public health officials around the world ad hoped that this potentially virulent and deadly bird flu strain (H7n9) could be contained inside China
or mutate to the point where humans could transmit the strain to other humans. But of the patients analyzed so far half appear to have had no contact whatsoever with poultry.
Despite widespread fears among public health officials that the earlier bird flu strain years ago might become a human-to-human pandemic that didn't occur.
Nearly all reported cases of the earlier bird flu strain while deadly seemed to jump from poultry to humans who were handling them or in contact with them.
One flu-virology expert John Oxford from Queen Mary University told Reuters this week that the emergence of this completely new strain of bird flu infections in humans was very very unsettling.
This new strain is in fact a mixture of three different types of bird flu variants and seems to have been quietly spreading in chickens without anyone knowing about it he said.

We have discovered finally the identity of the exact strain that caused all this havoc study co-author Hernã¡
Fascinating Fungi Previously a Phytophthora strain called US-1 was thought to have triggered the potato famine
but by sequencing the genomes of preserved samples of the plant pathogen the researchers discovered that a different strain one that is new to science was the real culprit.
Both strains seem to have separated from each other only years before the first major outbreak in Europe Burbano said.
The decoded genomes of these historical samples were compared then with modern Phytophthora strains from Europe Africa and The americas.
and when the HERB-1 and US-1 strains likely diverged. According to the study Phytophthora infestans originated in Mexico's Toluca Valley.
By the summer of 1845 the HERB-1 strain had arrived at European ports and the potato disease spread throughout Ireland and the United kingdom causing The irish potato famine.
In the 20th century as new varieties of potatoes were introduced the HERB-1 strain was replaced eventually by the US-1 Phytophthora strain the researchers said.
Perhaps this strain became extinct when the first resistant potato varieties were bred at the beginning of the 20th century lead author Kentaro Yoshida a researcher at The Sainsbury Laboratory in the United kingdom said in a statement.

#Stress Makes Antarctic Penguins Less-Attentive Parents Stress induced by changes in Antarctic sea ice may cause adult male Adã lie penguins to be less attentive to their chicks and may increase chick mortality according to a new study.
A certain degree of stress and the related release of hormones can benefit penguins and other animals by increasing alertness and reallocating energy reserves to react to stressors.
But chronic stress can produce negative effects in an individual's health and behavior and can jeopardize a parent's ability to care for its young.

and oily fish for instance is associated with reductions in mood swings depression and anxiety. And the opposite holds for a diet based on foods high in refined sugar (think lollies) one that combines high levels of sugar
which has been shown to improve mood by reducing anxiety and stress or doing fun things such as watching a film listening to music or visiting friends.
Such activities not only enhance mood but also assist with controlling indulgence food intake. The connection between food selection and positive mood (if there is one) is still unclear.
What we can say with confidence is that eating a well-balanced diet may confer not only physical health benefits but also better mental health through improved mood.
Now we are finding that strains of the bee gut microbiota show a large set of`accessory'genes and functions.

#Broccoli Extract May Reduce Autism Symptoms A chemical called sulforaphane derived from broccoli sprouts may help improve symptoms in some people with autism a small new study suggests.
and men with autism who were between ages 13 and 27. For 18 weeks 26 of the participants received between 9 and 27 milligrams of sulforaphane daily (depending on their weight)
We believe that this may be preliminary evidence for the first treatment for autism that improves symptoms by apparently correcting some of the underlying cellular problems study author Dr. Paul Talalay a professor of pharmacology
what the researchers called minimal change or a change of less than 3. 3 percent in their scores on the scales. 5 Things that Might Cause Autism The families friends
'but sulforaphane may ameliorate symptoms of autism Zimmerman told Live Science. But it's important to note that the improvements didn't affect everyone about one-third had no improvement
The autism scores of the patients who took the extract went back to their original values after the patients stopped taking the compound Talalay said.
The researchers also found that based onanother measure of autism symptoms about half of the participants taking sulforaphane showed noticeable improvements in their social interactions aberrant behaviors and verbal communication.
The causes of autism are not clear but researchers have observed certain biochemical abnormalities that are often present in the cells of people with autism the investigators said.
For instance people with autism frequently have high levels of oxidative stress which is an imbalance in cells that can lead to problems such as inflammation and DNA damage.
Previous research has shown that sulforaphane may help improve the body's defense against oxidative stress.
The compound may also strengthen what is called the heat-shock response which is a cascade of events that protects cells from the stress caused by high temperatures.
The heat-shock response occurs for instance when a person has a fever. Intriguingly about one-half of parents of autistic kids report that their children's autism symptoms get better
when the kids have said fevers Talalay. It was because sulforaphane can also trigger a heat-shock response in cells that the researchers wanted to see
if administering the compound might have the same effect on autism symptoms as fever often causes.
because the causes of autism vary in different patients and therefore a given treatment may work for one patient
but not others said Dr. Thomas Frazier the director of Cleveland Clinic's Autism School in Ohio.
It is just an example of how there are different subgroups of autism Frazier said told Live Science.
Future studies should use more-objective measures to assess sulforaphane's potential effect on symptoms of autism rather than the subjective assessments of parents he said.
