Researchers have made an important discovery about the causes of schizophrenia, a disease related to dementia or fragmented mentality. Researchers have identified two genes associated with the disease as well as a third gene that carries the risk of schizophrenia and autism. Scientists involved in this research believes, this discovery can go a long way in finding a cure for these kind of diseases. Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine found that these harmful genes are almost the same in every ethnic or racial group. The findings of this research were published in Nature Genetics . According to an estimate, about one percent of people worldwide suffering from schizophrenia. The scientists identified two risky genes, SRRM2 and AKAP11, based on a comparative analysis of gene sequencing from individuals with schizophrenia and healthy individuals. It compared a dataset of 35,828 patients with schizophrenia to 107,877 healthy or control groups and included a v...
Some people like to sleep in the dark at night while some sleep with the lights on. It all has its own exes. But these conditions have an impact on our health. Recently, a research has been told that even if you sleep in low light at night then it has negative effects on health. So you should make a habit of sleeping in the dark. In the US, according to researchers from Northwestern University, if we sleep with dim lights on, our cardiovascular function is negatively affected and insulin resistance increases the next morning. Dr. Phyllis G., chief of sleep medicine at the Feinberg School of Medicine , said that if you sleep in dim light, there may be disturbances in glucose and cardiovascular regulation, which can increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other metabolic syndromes. On the basis of these study findings, it is said that while sleeping at night, either turn off the light completely or keep the light at least. This research study was published in the jo...
