DOES MOBILE FRY YOUR BRAIN?

The debate continues as to whether mobile phones cause brain tumors: the results of a Swedish study that ten years of mobile use does raise the risk of acoustic neuroma (a benign tumor of the auditory nerve). If you’re worried, here are steps to take:
· Use a hands – free earpiece or headset
· A shield that covers the whole phone can work, though some will impair the phone’s effectiveness
· Absorbing buttons that attach to the outside of your phone can absorb radiation, but only by 20 percent or so
· Different phone models can vary in radiation output by up to 80 percent – look for a low “SAR” level.

For morbidly obese people, weight – loss surgery is an aggressive, but effective, answer. Since surgery may be too risky for the heaviest of these patients, experts are working on an alternative. In an endoscopic procedure that could potentially be done on at outpatient basis, doctors insert a long, flexible tube down the throat. It grabs the wall of the stomach and the staples them together, creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach, so less food is needed to create a feeling of fullness. Perforation (to the esophagus or stomach) in a small concern, but because the technique is less invasive than surgery, it’s less traumatic, making it a safer option for some people. The technique hasn’t been tested on people yet. If clinical trials go well, the next step is seeking government approval, says bariatric surgeon Roger de la Torre, co- founder of Satiety, the company that developed the procedure.

ALLERGY ATTACK: THINK FAST

Would you recognize the signs of a serious, possibly life-threatening, allergic reaction? Here’s a simple guide:
1) Face. Itchiness, redness, swelling of the face and tongue.
2) Airways. Trouble breathing, swallowing or speaking.
3) Stomach. Abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhoea.
4) Total body. Rash itchiness, swelling, weakness, paleness, loss of consciousness.

What causes these symptoms? The most common triggers include food – most frequently peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, milk, eggs, fish, soy, sesame seed and wheat – insect sting, drugs and latex.

This should come as welcome advice to anyone attempting an all-night study session –go to bed instead. New research by the University of Liege in Belgium suggests a good night’s sleep after solid study enhances recall. Researchers asked volunteers to learn the layout of a virtual town adapted from a computer game. Brain scans of these volunteers during sleep afterwards showed higher activity in the hippocampus – one of the brains’s learning centers – than in a control group who hadn’t studied. The researchers then tested the learners’ knowledge after the sleep sessions and found that there was a direct link between performance and the levers of brain activity during sleep. “Our results provide critical evidence that hippocampus activity during sleep correlates with improvement in memory performance,” said researchers Philippe Peigneux.

We eat more when we have lots of choices, like a buffet. But new research from the University of Illinois and University of Pennsylvania suggest that how food is arranged (in particular, by color ) also plays a role. When study coauthor Barbara Khan offered people six varieties of jellybeans, separated by color or mixed in a bowl, they ate about twice as many from the bowl. Why? Perhaps a mixed looks like it has more variety. So if you are trying to loose your weight, limit your choices and be watchful for color cues that would make you overeat.

I volunteered recently to perform a parachute jump for charity. One our first day of training, the instructor made an important point about preparing for landing at 100 meters“ How do you know when you’re at 100 meters?” asked one woman.” A good question,” replied the instructor. “At 100 meters, you can recognize the faces of people on the ground.” The woman thought about this for a while before saying, “What happens if there’s no-one there I know?”
