Quick Way to Fall Asleep

A doctor from England has revealed a method for quickly falling asleep. It involves thinking about random object words that have nothing in common with each other, such as telegram, chair, rain, and mashed potatoes, among others. Doctors claim that this technique simulates microsleep, which we experience while falling asleep. By tricking your brain, you can overcome the obstacles preventing you from entering a restful state.

Cheese Addiction: A Costly Battle for a Young Woman

A young woman in the USA developed an addiction to cheese, similar to being hooked on drugs. She had to be sent to rehab at a cost of $6000 per week to overcome her dependency. Initially, she would consume cheese as a snack, but after a couple of years, she was devouring 5-6 blocks of cheese per week. As a result, she gained around 30 kg, lost her menstrual cycle, and faced an increased risk of diabetes. This addiction didn't occur without reason – cheese contains substances resembling narcotics.

Australian Doctor Develops New Cancer Therapy and Successfully Treats Himself

Australian doctor Richard Skolier has developed a new therapy against cancer and became the first patient to undergo it. His method successfully defeated glioblastoma, the most aggressive form of cancer, for the first time. The professor was also the first to receive a vaccine that enhances the ability of drugs to detect cancer. It has been a year since Richard showed any signs of illness.

Heat Damages Liver and Brain: Study on Elderly Mice

Heat stress during heatwaves has a destructive impact on the liver, intestines, and brain of elderly individuals, according to experiments conducted on elderly mice at the University of California, Irvine. When rodents were exposed to heat stress, their livers showed significantly increased production of a protein called ORM2. Presumably, this is a compensatory mechanism during inflammation and gut imbalance. Additionally, ORM2 may adversely affect the brain's coordination with the liver and the gastrointestinal tract (GIT).

First AI Gadget for Newborns Introduced

American startup LittleOne.Care has unveiled Elora, a compact health sensor for newborns powered by artificial intelligence. Elora offers a range of features similar to adult smartwatches, but this innovative gadget is designed to be attached to the baby's belly instead of the wrist. The smart device monitors the air quality around the child and also functions as a baby monitor. For instance, Elora can send notifications to parents if the infant cries, falls, or wakes up at night. The device can keep a diary of the newborn, recording feeding times, first attempts at speaking, frequent sleep schedules, diaper changes, and more. All the data is sent to the parent's smartphone. The smart sensor is priced at $349.

Outbreak of Rat Hepatitis in Europe

An outbreak of rat hepatitis has occurred in Europe. The terrifying virus, transmitted by disgusting and intimidating rodents, was first discovered in Germany in 2010. There have been over 40 reported cases of infection in Spain, as well as a confirmed case in Hong Kong. Scientists have determined that approximately 30% of rats are carriers of the hepatitis, but how it is transmitted to humans remains unknown.

Olive oil reduces risk of dementia-related death, study finds

A study conducted by a group of scientists from the USA, Denmark, and China, involving 92,383 individuals over a span of 28 years, has revealed that consuming at least seven grams (approximately a teaspoon) of olive oil per day decreased the likelihood of death from dementia by 28%. Other vegetable oils did not show the same effect. In total, 4,751 individuals died from dementia during the study period.

Neuralink's First Patient Dominates Mario Kart and Civilization VI with Mind Control

The first patient of Neuralink has defeated others in Mario Kart and Civilization VI using the power of his thoughts. Noland Arbow became the first person to receive a Neuralink implant in his brain, with the surgery taking place in January of this year. According to him, he has now reached a level of control over the chip that allows him to outperform his friends in both Mario Kart and Civilization VI. However, it is too early to speak about widespread application of this technology. Its main problem lies in the attachment of the implant to the cranial box and its connection to the brain through multiple electrodes. As the organ is movable inside, even slight deviations can lead to disconnection.

New solution to sleep problems

Inventors from Kickstarter have found a solution to sleep problems. Engineers have developed a mini-speaker called 'Banala Sleep Dot' that produces isochronic sounds. These rhythmic sounds help the brain relax, fall asleep faster, and enter deep sleep, as confirmed by research. The price is $49.

Anger Increases the Risk of Heart Disease

A team of doctors from New York has concluded that the feeling of anger unhealthy narrows blood vessels, which in the long run can increase the likelihood of heart disease. Researchers tracked the condition of participants' blood vessels in the experiment. As a result, it was found that the expansion of healthy blood vessels slows down when people get angry. The authors of the study noted that the inability of blood vessels to expand for a long period of time is often a precursor to the dangerous accumulation of fat on the walls of arteries, known as atherosclerosis.

Japanese Researchers Plan to Test Drug for Growing Teeth

Japanese researchers plan to begin testing a drug designed to grow teeth in people with hypodontia. Practical use will start in six years. The developed medication affects tooth buds - formations of dental tissue located in the oral cavity. Often, they cease development and eventually disappear. It is assumed that the drug suppresses the action of a protein that stops the process of their development, as a result of which the formed tooth buds will be able to replace unerupted or fallen out teeth.

The Most Dangerous Sweets: Kinder Surprise, Nutella, M&M's, Oreo and Milka

British scientists have found that the most dangerous sweets are Kinder Surprise, Nutella, M&M's, Oreo, and Milka. They have examined the products of the 10 largest manufacturers, and 78% of the items turned out to be harmful to health due to their high fat, salt, and sugar content.

The first one produces Alpen Gold, Milka, Barni, Oreo, and many other brands, while the second one releases Kinder, Nutella, Raffaello, Ferrero Rocher, and Tic Tac. Like other manufacturers, they often use bright packaging and cartoon characters to appeal to children. However, the consumption of harmful sweets in childhood can lead to metabolic disorders and obesity development.
