Your sleep tracker can not only provide you with information about your sleep habits, but also about chronic conditions such as diabetes and sleep apnea, as well as diseases such as COVID-19. This is one of the findings of a study in which data from 5 million nights of sleep from around 33,000 people was […]
The Body’s Own Lipids Influence Mental Disorders: Can Specific Inhibitors Help?
A genetic disorder leads to an increase in bioactive lipids in the brain, which contributes to an imbalance between excitation and inhibition in the neuronal circuits and favors mental disorders. However, treatment with an enzyme inhibitor that prevents the activation of these lipids can restore the balance and alleviate symptoms. This is the result of […]
Genetic Study Points to Possible Treatment Methods for Restless Legs Syndrome
Scientists have discovered genetic clues to the cause of restless legs syndrome, a condition that often occurs in older adults. The discovery could help identify those at greatest risk of developing the condition and suggest possible ways to treat it. Restless legs Syndrome is Widespread Restless legs syndrome can cause an uncomfortable tingling sensation in […]
Researchers Identify Promising Proteins for the Treatment of Metabolic Diseases
A University of Saskatchewan (USask) research team’s discovery of the additional health benefits of an appetite-suppressing protein has doubled the potential for scientists to find new ways to treat obesity and metabolic disorders in animals and humans. The researchers’ findings, recently published in the journal Nature Communications Biology, highlight their discovery of the lipid-lowering effects […]
Why Nightmares and Daydreams Could be Early Warning Signs of an Autoimmune Disease
An increase in nightmares and hallucinations – or daydreaming – could herald the onset of autoimmune diseases such as lupus, according to an international team led by researchers from the University of Cambridge and King’s College London. The researchers argue that there needs to be better recognition that these types of mental and neurological symptoms […]
