Vitamin D improves the effectiveness of melanoma treatment.

Scientists came to these conclusions during a study involving 200 people with skin cancer. A positive effect of treatment was observed in 56% of patients with normal levels of vitamin D - it was initially such or it was increased with the help of nutritional supplements. Among people who had a deficiency of the substance, this figure was 36.2%. In addition, patients from the first group lived almost twice as long after the start of therapy. Vitamin D is not a cure for cancer and in itself does not save you from the disease, but it supports the proper functioning of the immune system.

Stress really ages.

The biological age of humans and animals increases due to physiological stress and decreases rapidly after long periods of rest. Biologists from Harvard came to such conclusions during experiments with mice. Severe forms of stress increase the likelihood of death, including due to the fact that they dramatically increase the biological age of a person. This suggests that the ability to quickly recover from stress plays an important role in human aging and longevity.

Wounds heal three times faster under the influence of electricity.

Positive thoughts about aging can slow it down.

Researchers found that older adults with mild cognitive impairment were 30% more likely to regain normal thinking and memory skills if they had positive perceptions of aging.

Neural networks have learned to diagnose Alzheimer's disease in the early stages by voice.

The experiment involved 206 people, in 114 of them, doctors revealed mild cognitive impairment. Volunteers without training were asked to describe works of art. Their speech was recorded and given to the analysis of artificial intelligence. He assessed the motor control of speech, the density of the speaker's ideas, and the grammatical complexity of statements. Diagnosis of one patient took ten minutes. Traditional neuropsychological tests usually last several hours. In most cases, artificial intelligence confirmed the diagnoses made by doctors. The use of neural networks will make life easier for patients and the selection of treatment.
