Our finding of protection against synaptic deficits by Lavado cocoa extract but not Dutched cocoa extract strongly suggests that polyphenols are the active component that rescue synaptic transmission
Because loss of synaptic function may have a greater role in memory loss than the loss of nerve cells rescue of synaptic function may serve as a more reliable target for an effective Alzheimer's disease drug said Dr. Pasinetti.
After a heart attack no doubt smoking cessation reduces the risk of death approximately one third and is really a cornerstone of cardiac rehabilitation worldwide.
In a mathematical analysis estimating the number of people who die in 1000 years researchers determined that the death rate was 9. 7 per 1000 person-years at risk for snus quitters and 18.7 for snus users.
Eating whole grains combined with a healthy diet may reduce the risk of heart disease and help with weight management according to the U s. Department of agriculture.
say scientistsa new study on the digestion of milk could lead to the development of new formulas for premature babies weight loss drinks and potentially new drug delivery systems.
It could also lead to a new system for drug delivery. By unlocking the detailed structure of milk we have the potential to create milk loaded with fat soluble vitamins
We could even harness milk's ability as a'carrier'to develop new forms of drug delivery Dr Salentinig said.
and farms where chemical pesticides were applied experienced a two-thirds increased risk of having a child with autism spectrum disorder
and linking the data to the residential addresses of approximately 1000 participants in the Northern California-based Childhood Risk of Autism from Genetics and the Environment (CHARGE) Study.
Organophosphates applied over the course of pregnancy were associated with an elevated risk of autism spectrum disorder particularly for chlorpyrifos applications in the second trimester.
Research from the CHARGE Study has emphasized the importance of maternal nutrition during pregnancy particularly the use of prenatal vitamins to reduce the risk of having a child with autism.
While it's impossible to entirely eliminate risks due to environmental exposures Hertz-Picciotto said that finding ways to reduce exposures to chemical pesticides particularly for the very young is important.

and isoflavones were associated not with the risk of endometrial cancer. Although the incidence of endometrial cancer is much lower in Asian countries the incidence rate has been increasing.
and an increased risk of disease is a major problem. Unsurprisingly nonhuman primates are quite fond of the food crops we grow!
Farmers changed the crops they were growing to reduce the risk of crop raiding without needing to be prompted by conservation organisations.

High risk areas identifieda dangerous strain of avian influenza H7n9 that's causing severe illness and deaths in China may be inhabiting a small fraction of its potential range
and appears at risk of spreading to other suitable areas of India Bangladesh Vietnam Indonesia
Places at risk include urban areas in China where the disease has occurred not yet along with large swaths of the Bengal regions of Bangladesh and India the Mekong and Red river deltas in Vietnam and isolated parts of Indonesia and the Philippines.
Gilbert and his colleges developed a risk map for H7n9 in part to help anticipate where human infections--so far caused mainly by contact with birds
The obvious use for such maps in the immediate future is to help target surveillance to areas most at risk
Isolating H7n9 Risk Factors to Help Control its Spreadthe researchers found that the key factors facilitating the emergence

Managing Livestock Risks via Better Mapsmany of the insights in the report have been possible because of a new set maps that are allowing researchers to observe down to the square kilometer the global distribution
and things like how many live bird markets are located in a particular area the more successful we can be at reducing risks associated with intensifying livestock production in developing countries Robinson said.
Effects of extreme and adverse events difficult to assessrã tter and his colleagues have studied the risks to crops caused by climate change in the ongoing Cropm/FACCE MACSUR project.
Based on methodology developed for a detailed climatic risk analysis at national level in Finland the indicator approach of agro-climatic conditions was elaborated now further
The novel method helps to reveal the implications of various climatic and agronomic risks such as frost water logging drought
and their integration for accelerating delivery of new diverse varieties of wheat for the different future environments argues Reimund RÃ tter.
Similar risks apply to other crops as wellthe FACCE MACSUR project runs regional pilot studies throughout Europe on the effects of climate change and adaptation of farming practices on future crop production and food supply.
In addition to wheat the novel indicator method will be applied to the risk assessment of other crops as well.
Although our results highlight the potential of adverse impacts of changing climate on wheat similar risks apply to other crops as well for their growing times
When Ruby died suddenly in April from apparently ingesting rat poison it was a local tragedy as well as a national warning about the serious dangers these chemicals pose to wildlife.
Another danger of SGARS is their ability to accumulate in liver tissue over time. While this factor doesn't necessarily make second-generation poisons more lethal for rodents than first generation products it has devastating consequences for wildlife.
For example a red-tailed hawk that repeatedly feeds on prey containing sublethal amounts of the second-generation poison is at risk for accumulating a lethal amount over time.
In light of high numbers of children accidentally exposed to second-generation rat poisons as well as the risk to wildlife the EPA tightened the safety standards for consumer use of household rat
They also note the shift in marketing tactics for these products from conventional cigarette substitutes only better to styling themselves as new nicotine delivery systems offering consumer choice in models and flavours.

Using teams of small specialised agricultural robots instead of the currently used heavy machinery can result in lower soil compaction leading to energy savings but also in more robust systems in the case of technical failures.
Dr. David Jenkins head of the hospital's Clinical Nutrition and Risk Factor Modification Centre compared people with Type 2 diabetes who ate either a low glycemic index diet that included bread made with canola oil
or a whole wheat diet known to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. His study published today (Saturday June 14) in the journal Diabetes Care found that those on the canola bread diet experienced both a reduction in blood glucose levels and a significant reduction in LDL or bad cholesterol.
but this positive result may be an indication of why whole wheat foods have consistently been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
and olive oil reduced the risk of cardiovascular disease. Dr. Jenkins said the combination of a low GI diet supplemented with canola oil had not been tested before on people with Type 2 diabetes.*
and vegetables and less sweetened beverages and saturated fats for example--reduced their risk for type 2 diabetes by about 20 percent compared to those who made no changes to their diets.
or increased physical activity or if it could independently reduce a person's risk for developing type 2 diabetes.
If you improve other lifestyle factors you reduce your risk for type 2 diabetes even more

Previous studies have indicated that early exposure to complex foreign proteins such as cow's milk proteins increases the risk of type 1 diabetes in predisposed individuals.
whether delaying the exposure to complex foreign proteins will decrease the risk of diabetes tells Professor Mikael Knip from the University of Helsinki the leader of the TRIGR Study.
Most smokers start in childhood and exposure to tobacco marketing is known to increase this risk.
and particularly the health of children at risk of becoming smokers they say. They point to an independent review that found good evidence to support plain packaging and also rejected misleading tobacco industry opposition.
because key security features on existing packaging will be retained on standardized packs including number codes and covert anti-counterfeit marks.
#Estimated risk of breast cancer increases as red meat intake increases, study suggestsso far studies have suggested no significant association between red meat intake and breast cancer.
So a team of US researchers investigated the association between dietary protein sources in early adulthood and risk of breast cancer.
Putting these real life data into a statistical model allowed the researchers to estimate breast cancer risks for women with different diets.
They estimated that for each step-by-step increase in the women's consumption of red meat there was a step-by-step increase in the risk of getting breast cancer over the 20 year study period.
This translated to an estimate that higher intake of red meat was associated with a 22%increased risk of breast cancer overall.
Each additional serving per day of red meat was associated with a 13%increase in risk of breast cancer (12%in premenopausal and 8%in postmenopausal women.
In contrast estimates showed a lower risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal women with higher consumption of poultry.
Substituting one serving per day of poultry for one serving per day of red meat--in the statistical model--was associated with a 17%lower risk of breast cancer overall and a 24%lower risk of postmenopausal breast cancer.
Furthermore substituting one serving per day of combined legumes nuts poultry and fish for one serving per day of red meat was associated with a 14%lower risk of breast cancer overall and premenopausal breast cancer.
The authors conclude that higher red meat intake in early adulthood may be a risk factor for breast cancer
and replacing red meat with a combination of legumes poultry nuts and fish may reduce the risk of breast cancer.
and risk of breast cancer is needed they add. Story Source: The above story is provided based on materials by BMJ-British Medical Journal.

#Rising tobacco epidemic in Asia linked to elevated risk of deatha new study estimates that tobacco smoking has been linked to approximately 2 million deaths among adult men
and included demographic and risk factor information collected in seven Asian regions from the early 1960s through the late 1990s (although most of the studies enrolled participants after the mid-1980s).
Among men who had smoked ever there was an elevated risk of death from cardiovascular disease (CVD) cancer or respiratory diseases in all of the geographic regions in 2004.
The risk of death due to any disease however varied considerably across populations with the stronger association generally found in Japan South korea Singapore
but there was also an elevated risk of death from cancers of the head and neck esophagus stomach colorectum liver pancreas and bladder--all diseases that have been linked to smoking in previous studies according to the authors.
While women in most Asian regions are far less likely to smoke than men the study also found an increased risk of death from cancer CVD and respiratory diseases among East Asian women.
and the risk of death from all causes said Zheng. Tobacco smoking has reached now epidemic proportions in Asia
and the lack of effective tobacco control efforts smokers will continue to face an increased risk of death from cancer and other diseases.
