@meghomala Larger top predators are more at risk than are smaller predators, as are fish species in areas where they are heavily fished by humans, with small, short-lived species at the lowest risk of all.

Greenhouse gas emissions affect the world's climate in two ways: raising the temperature of the atmosphere by holding in heat and, in the case of CO2 emissions, making water more acidic.

@alhad To confirm their discovery, the researchers used the data to train a computer model of this part of the brain, a process that takes less than an hour. Then they fed the model more than 1.2 million new images.

Sure enough, the model lit up in response to food. Color didn't matter – even black-and-white food images triggered it, though not as strongly as color ones. And the model could tell the difference between food and objects that looked like food: a banana versus a crescent moon, or a blueberry muffin versus a puppy with a muffin-like face.
From the human data, the researchers found that some people responded slightly more to processed foods like pizza than unprocessed foods like apples. They hope to explore how other things, such as liking or disliking a food, may impact a person's response to that food.

@hanishi magnesium sometimes low magnesium can be the cause and especially if you have thyroid trouble. Maybe need to look up your blood results or go on a forum called health unlocked, sometimes your thyroid can cause heart palpitations if your medication isn’t right

@tishta Scientists identified palbociclib (used to treat breast cancer) and cardiac glycosides (used to treat heart failure and heart rhythm disorders), which might be repurposed to treat type 2 diabetes.

@sasical You will need to get some therapy for this. However, when you get a panic attack before your bowel movement, the stress of it can still upset your bowel. The gut-brain axis is very strong and what you feel in your mind, can have an impact on your intestines. Even if the panic attacks are not aggravating your bowel at the moment, over time the cumulative effect of your mental distress could irritate it.

@jeffy I think anxiety promotes bad health and mind, to say the least. A healthy mind comes from good thinking and proactive physical output. You need to focus on overcoming these issues by remaining in contact with your doctor and asking questions which promotes a good fight against the issues. physical health recovers with consistent maintenance, and a healthy mind. Anxiety does the opposite.

@ruhiisi In one study, researchers found that eating later in the day made people hungrier during a 24-hour period, as compared with eating the same meals earlier in the day. Late eating also burned calories at a slower rate and led to fat tissue that stored more calories. Combined, the changes may increase the risk for obesity, the study authors found. In another study, among firefighters as shift workers, researchers found that eating meals within a 10-hour window decreased the size of bad cholesterol particles, which could reduce risk factors for heart disease. The 10-hour eating window also improved blood pressure and blood sugar levels among those with health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.

@marissa Hi Marissa, is that your resting heart rate? Did you consult a physician? To confirm a thyroid disorder you will need a blood test called a thyroid function test. They measure the free levels of the thyroid hormones FT3, FT4, and the thyroid-stimulating hormone TSH.

@stacy-0 Constipation is a common symptom. Digestive issues can be as well. I had so many symptoms that went away after that I didn't even notice until they were gone. My digestive issues seem more linked to gluten for me. I wish I had discovered I had this years ago but am still glad I finally had an answer to so many issues my doctor ignored.

@solmarie I had elevated calcium levels with parathyroidism and suffered similar symptoms to yours. The advice was to drink at least 2 liters of water daily. This helped to flush out the excess calcium in the blood and the symptoms were much less pronounced. Keep drinking!

@ahmed-hussain I have diagnosed 1.5 yrs ago and had one gland removed 1 yr ago I suffered from high blood pressure, anxiety and osteopenia before surgery after surgery my blood pressure dropped dramatically 2 weeks after removal of the gland, allowing me to eliminate one medication and cut the other in half...my bone loss was reversed and gaining bone mass back anxiety is better

make sure you have an experienced surgeon with lots of experience removing these tumors. this is very important as an inexperienced surgeon could do more harm

most symptoms are completely reversible hope this helps

@susaan-0 Do you have high blood pressure routinely or it was only occasional at that time? If high BP is a routine issue, you should see an MD physician at the earliest to find out the root cause of the same.
Studies have demonstrated increased sympathetic activity (increased blood pressure, heart rate, and arrhythmia) in patients before any dental procedures (including administration of local anesthetics) reflecting fear and anxiety and the effects of endogenous adrenaline in response to these feelings. Avoid drinking caffeine or other stimulating drinks before going for dental appointments. I also read many people practice taking antibiotics before going to the dentist for any procedure, including regular cleaning. However, I am not really sure about this one. Better to get it confirmed with your GP.

@anitesh t’s pretty typical [for patients] to misidentify female physicians as nurses or to assume they have different training or lower tiers of training. [Female] physicians have to do more work to convince patients that they are legitimate, knowledgeable, and experienced.

@leena Genetically engineered yeast (along with E coli) is a key microorganism used in biopharmaceutical production. Yeast has been redesigned to produce other naturally occurring compounds, such as cannabinoids and the antimalarial drug artemisinin. The process involves removing a sequence of biochemical reactions, or metabolic pathway, from a plant cell and reconstructing it inside a yeast cell.

@humbly I too have had eye twitching for the last month but haven't mentioned it to my GP as didn't attribute it to Peri menopause. I have started a course of the mini pill ten days ago to try & reduce my terribly heavy periods & need to go back at the end of 3 months to see if these make a difference so I will mention it then.
I have just bought some calcium & magnesium tablets, will try these & see if they make a difference to the twitching.

@samul What are the circumstances of recording the high BP?
Are you taking the readings yourself?
Is the unit you use to test your BP functioning correctly?
Are you resting before taking the readings?
How often are the readings at the extreme levels?
When you take your BP rest in a quiet and peaceful place for 5 - 10 minutes before the check, take 3 readings and use the 'best' result
Check your BP at or near to the same time(s) every day

@paatrick Blood pressure usually starts to rise a few hours before a person wakes up. Are you experiencing any breathing difficulties and tightness in the chest when the BP increases at night? Blood pressure increase at night or nocturnal hypertension can also be caused by thyroid and kidney problems and diabetes. If you go online and check, you will find more reasons for nocturnal hypertension. It is better to consult a GP.

@susand Ask your doctor for an ultrasound of your gallbladder and HIDA scan. Some people pass their gallstones but sometimes they have to be removed. Most people have gallstones, it just depends on size and if they cause the gallbladder issues. Fatty food will make it worse. Definitely cut out fatty, processed foods and try and cook from fresh.
