in categoriile: Medicine While low results on written or oral tests of IQ have been associated with a raised risk of cardiovascular disease, no study has so far compared the relative strength of this association with other established risk factors such as obesity, smoking and high blood pressure. Now, a large study funded by Britain's Medical Research Council, which set out to gauge the relative importance of IQ alongside other risk factors, has found that lower intelligence scores were associated with higher rates of cardiovascular disease and total mortality at a greater level of magnitude than found with any other risk factor except smoking.

in categoriile: Biology,Medicine,Personalia,Science and sport Researchers from 14 institutions in Canada, UK, Denmark, Sweden, and USA have just published a comprehensive look at a group of genes and found a way to predict who will benefit the most from exercise. Their latest work builds on the current belief among researchers that one of the best predictors of health and longevity is our body’s ability to take in and use oxygen during maximum exercise.
The more blood our heart can pump and the more oxygen our muscles can use, the less our risk of early disease and death is. They say that’s why aerobic exercise is so important.

in categoriile: Biology,Physics,Medicine,Technology The computer mouse and keyboard will be as useful for operating a computer as much as currently diskettes are useful for storing data. That's because we will be able to control computers with simple thoughts. At least that is what suggests a research at Rowan University in the USA.

in categoriile: Agriculture,Biology,Chemistry,Physics,Medicine,Environment,Personalia,Technology French researchers at CNRS Paul Pascal Research Center in Bordeaux have designed smart capsules that are able to release their contents on demand, simply by raising the temperature. This novel system opens up the way to many applications in a large number of fields such as food, perfumes and agriculture, for instance to deliver pesticides above a specific temperature.
