If you’re iPod user you should read this article. According to RNID, iPod user who are playing that gadget too loudly are facing posibility of going deaf.
“Our research found people around the country are listening to their MP3 players at unbelievably high levels, with more than one in five blasting their ears with sound levels of 100 decibels or more - the equivalent of hearing a pneumatic drill 10 feet away” said RNID’s director of external affairs, Emma Harrison.
From RNID research 58 per cent of 16 to 30-year-olds are really unaware of any risk to their hearing from MP3 players. Keep in mind that the music pumped into the ears above 89 decibels for long periods of time is actually louder than currently allowed in factories.
RNID advised music lovers to take a five-minute rest for each hour you listen to your MP3 player to allow ears to recover or you will be facing possibility of permanently loss your hearing.
Do you know that a women who exercise during pregnancy are at risk from a illness that can be fatal for themselves and their baby. Actually this fact just found by researcher and according to them a mom who practice exercise during pregnancy are more likely to suffer from pre-eclampsia, a condition which raises blood pressure leading to strokes and even death.
Previously,we heard that pregnant women are advised to exercise for at least 30 minutes each day but now scientists claim that there is a distinct link between moderate activity and the condition.Maybe there is a big shock when you know the jogging activity for more than one hour and 15 minutes a week more than doubled the risk of pre-eclampsia.They found this in a study involving 85,000 females.
Another fact they just found is a women who exercise for between four and a half and seven hours a week are 65 per cent more likely to develop severe pre-eclampsia and those who did more than seven hours a week were 78 per cent more likely to have the condition.
This means that more than three in ten women who do this much exercise will suffer from severe pre-eclampsia.
One of the main causes of Alzheimer’s disease maybe come from the virus that causes cold sores. From the research found that existing drugs could be used to treat the most common form of dementia.New evidence found by a Scientists at the University of Manchester that the herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1) might be in up to 60 per cent of Alzheimer’s cases.
This news is really exciting because the product to threat the HSV1 virus are already publish widely. All the drugs such like acyclovir and Zovirax have been on the market for many years, and are available over the counter.
The responsible person who lead the research, Professor Ruth Itzhaki said “One thing that is exciting about our research is that we already have drugs that have been used for a relatively long time against HSV1, which are cheap and well tolerated. If we are right, there is a good chance we could make progress quite quickly,”
What they will do after this is to test the theory in animal models, after which Itzhaki believes they could establish whether HSV1 is genuinely involved in Alzheimer’s within a year. At this moment the group is working hard to obtain funding for this upcoming stage of research.
According to them this HSV1 virus affects most adults, causing cold sores in 20-40 per cent of people. What they found do not indicate that many, or even most cold sore sufferers will get Alzheimer’s.
