Controversy over new health studies

According to New Scientist, in 2007 there was a lot of controversy over new research related to health issues .

Tuberculosis has returned!

The old enemy of mankind, tuberculosis, is returning.

In February 2007, a completely resistant drug was diagnosed in Italy. It is worrisome that this resistant virus will quickly spread. This fear did not settle down in the international medical community when an American, diagnosed with drug-resistant tuberculosis, flew from the city of Prague - Czech Republic to Montreal, Canada in May last year. .

This American case is not as serious as people think. But in December, a tuberculosis patient flew from Beirut to France to die 10 days later. Officials could only contact 7 of the 11 passengers who flew with him.

Doctors have begun to dismiss old antibiotics and other treatments such as lung surgery have been restored. A group of doctors even suggested this was the time to think about establishing a nursing home for long-lasting infections like old ones to control the disease.

New therapies cause a stir

Many patients start to decide on medication. After New Scientist reported on a drug, called dichloroacetate (DCA), it was able to kill some types of human cancer after a mouse test, an online chat room was opened online to exchange information. about drug prospects.

Despite the drug has not been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), some cancer patients say they have used it and it seems to work. . A website for women sold this drug under the guise of veterinary medicine, until FDA ordered it to be closed.

A drug trial will start again this fall in Canada in patients with brain cancer.

Another area, people began craving stem cell therapy because it could become any part of the human body. However, it is difficult to achieve, because stem cells need to be extracted from human embryos.

Scientists try to find stem cells elsewhere. In 2007, they found it in many places, from amniotic fluid to women's menstrual blood. In November, two independent research groups in Japan and the United States reprogrammed human skin cells to turn it into human-like cells, called human embryos from human skin.

A series of stem cell applications have been implemented this year. Researchers have developed it in human heart valves, using it to treat Parkinson's disease in monkeys. They even " celebrate " it into primitive sperm cells, opening the door to treating infertility. Even gay girls can be 'fathers' for their own children!

Television badly affects children of all ages.(Photo: Thefatproblem.com)

TV: Add bad things .

A lot of bad information for parents when using television as a means of entertainment for children. Many research results show that television adversely affects children of all ages.

New evidence shows that videos of ' Einstein ' prodigy children and genres of the same name not only make your children smarter, but they actually prevent learning from learning. Researchers found that every hour children watch television, they lose the ability to use 6–8 words.

In addition, other injuries caused by watching television too much during childhood are difficult to overcome. A large-scale study of children aged 5–11 years was conducted. The results showed that children who watch TV for more than 2 hours a day will experience problems when they grow up, not to mention they become addicted to watching heavy TV.

Watching television for hours on a day can cause children to drop out of school or lag behind, even become incompetent and socio-economic status is also controlled by television.
