A drug that successfully prevented kidney disease in diabetic mice is set to undergo its first human trial in Australia. More than 140 Australians suffering from Type-1 or Type-2 diabetes will participate in the study to be run by the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute, Xinhua news agency reported. A drug developed by researchers at Monash University that blocks a pathway through which NOX enzymes cause damage to the kidneys will be tested in the trial, which will begin in September. Blocking the pathway in mice had prevented kidney damage and the drug has shown promise in repairing eye and heart damage related to diabetes, said Mark Cooper from Monash University. The rights to the drug are owned by Swiss pharmaceutical company Genkyotex. "In the diabetic kidney, three things happen: it scars, it gets inflamed, and it leaks the protein albumin," Cooper was quoted as saying by the Australian media on Wednesday. "We were able to show this drug stopp...

The new research, the largest brain-imaging study of cardiovascular stress physiology to date, introduced a brain-based explanation of why stress might influence a person's heart health. "Psychological stress can influence physical health and risk for heart disease , and there may be biological and brain-based explanations for this influence," said Peter Gianaros, Ph.D., the study's senior author and psychology professor at the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania. To help understand the brain-body link between stress and health, researchers conducted mental stress tests and monitored blood pressure and heart rates during an MRI procedure. The mental tests were designed to create a stressful experience by having research volunteers receive negative feedback while they were making time-pressured responses to computer challenges. Research participants - 157 men and 153 women - were 30 to 51 years old and part of the Pittsburgh Imaging Project, ...

Time and again we hear the alarming news that certain deadly flu virus has been detected in our city too. While we immediately start taking a few safety measures like not eating out or wearing masks, many of us aren’t armed with the most basic information to be able to safeguard ourselves properly. What are the symptoms of the swine flu virus? Do masks, sanitizers, and vaccines help to prevent this disease? We, at The Week, caught up with Dr Pukar Thapa, general physician at Alka Hospital, Jawalakhel, to know more about this contagious viral flu and how we can make sure we don’t suffer from it.   What is the swine flu virus? Swine flu is a comparatively new strain of influenza virus that may have symptoms similar to regular flu. This influenza virus primarily infects the respiratory tract of pigs causing nasal secretion, barking coughs, and appetite loss. Viruses of swine flu have the tendency to mutate or change and can be easily contagious, spreading from pe...

The Gorakhpur tragedy was inevitably the subject of conversation and debate across the country. From a few I was privy to, the overriding conclusion seemed to be, `that world is some other country’s hell.’ This sense of detachment stems not so much from physical distance, rather psychological and emotional. In a way, this is expected given the size and diversity of the country. But therein also lies our failure at assimilation as a nation. Urban India’s view of Uttar Pradesh (and Bihar too) is of some faraway dystopia. It is shaped by lack of knowledge about its people and reinforced by stereotyping: through popular cinema, and a media narrative that has got increasingly slanted in recent times. For most Indians elsewhere, UP (and Bihar) is full of bumpkins and bounders, goons and gangsters; where everyday life — like its politics — is ruled by various matrices of caste, community and religion. Essentially, it is perceived as a dysfunctional state pulling the country...

A team of researchers have developed a method that could make magnetic resonance imaging - MRI - multicolour to help improve disease diagnosis. The current MRI techniques rely on a single contrast agent which is injected into a patient's veins to vivify images. The new method uses two at once, which could allow doctors to map multiple characteristics of a patient's internal organs in a single MRI. The strategy could serve as a research tool and even aid disease diagnosis. Two contrast agents could include one specifically targetting diseased tissue, and one designed to show healthy tissue, for example. The new method would enable immediate comparisons of how each agent distributes in the same patient. Flask said,"This multi-agent detection capability has the potential to transform molecular imaging, as it provides a critical translational pathway for studies in patients," In a study, the researchers described how two contrast agents, gadolinium and ...

Facebook has finally found a way to get a foothold in the world's most popular country that has blocked it from re-entering since 2009. The simple answer is to secretly launch an app. The secret weapon is to launch it under a different name and unleash it upon the Chinese iOS App Store. Facebook released its photo-sharing app Colorful Balloons back in May. The app has none of its own branding attached and Facebook has done nothing to promote the app. The only clue given is that it has the same icon as Facebook's Moments app and similar features. "We have long said that we are interested in China, and are spending time understanding and learning more about the country in different ways,” Facebook said in a statement. It's been three months since but no one seemingly wants to have that app on their phone. The response was muted. This suggests that Facebook and CEO Mark Zuckerberg will be facing an uphi...

Plants are not just decorative -- many are natural air filters that work to clean up the indoor environment, absorbing irritating or harmful chemicals from the air. We find out more about two such plants. Origins and specifications Red anthuriums are also called “tongues of fire” because of their bright red, shiny, heart-shaped blossoms. This plant originates from South America. Its flowers may be red, pink, or white. Anthurium is a natural filter for ammonia and xylene. Beware, however: The plant’s sap and leaves may cause allergies in sensitive people. Where to put it Anthurium needs a lot of light but, as with many plants, it must avoid direct sunlight, and it needs dampness to develop and blossom. It should ideally be placed indoors, beside a window, at a temperature between 18°C and 21°C. How to look after it Anthurium requires a little attention: As it cannot bear dry air, you will have to spray a little water on the leaves during the winter. Likewise, it mu...

ficus microcara (Indian  Laurel or curtain fig) Origins and specifications: Ficus microcarpa comes from Asia. It is easily identifiable thanks to its small, oval, shiny and highly decorative leaves. It is often grown as a house plant, most often as a bonsai. Sometimes referred to as “ficus ginseng” – “ginseng” is Chinese for “root” – because of its splendid ramified aerial root which gives it a contemporary look, this ficus will dress up your interiors perfectly. This plant is both invigorating and juvenating, and it provides oxygen, so you can breathe easier at home. Where to put it: Ficus microcarpa thrives at indoor temperatures between 15°C and 25°C. It dislikes drafts and will shed its leaves if exposed to too drastic a change in temperature. How to look after it: Despite these precautions, ficus microcarpa is nicknamed “the beginner’s bonsai”. It only requires moderate watering, especially in the summertime, and potting every other year, and it will go on fo...

Nutty, brown and full of energy and essential nutrients, almonds have long been one of the ingredients that are know for its power-packed health benefiting properties. Eat them raw, soaked or simply use them in salads, smoothies, shakes and even desserts, these nutty delights enhance the flavour of a dish and render the crunch quotient as well. An ancient custom is to soak almonds overnight and have them every morning. This is known to shield the body from various ailments. Adding more to the incredible properties of the nut, researchers from Penn State found that almonds may not only help boost levels of "good" or HDL cholesterol, but also improve the way it removes cholesterol from the body.  "There's a lot of research out there that shows a diet that includes almonds lowers low-density lipoprotein, or LDL cholesterol, which is a major risk factor for heart disease. But not as much was known about how almonds affect HDL cholesterol, which is consi...

Gene editing is getting fresh attention thanks to a successful lab experiment with human embryos. But for all the angst over possibly altering reproduction years from now, this technology already is used by scientists every day in fields ranging from agriculture to drug development. New gene editing tools let scientists alter the DNA of living cells – from plants, animals, even humans – more precisely than ever before. Think of it as a biological cut-and-paste programme. A look at the science. WHAT IS GENE EDITING? While scientists have long been able to find defective genes, fixing them has been so cumbersome that it's slowed development of genetic therapies. There are several gene editing methods, but a tool called CRISPR-Cas9 has sparked a boom in research as laboratories worldwide adopted it over the past five years because it's faster, cheaper, simple to use with minimal training and allows manipulation of multiple genes at the same time. MEDICAL RESEA...

A compound in human saliva may promote wound healing by increasing the formation of blood vessels, an advance that could help design better approaches for treating injuries, scientists say. Researchers examined the effects of salivary peptide histatin-1 on angiogenesis or blood vessel formation, which is critical to the efficiency of wound healing. They found that histatin-1 promotes angiogenesis, as well as cell adhesion and migration. Researchers conducted experiments at three levels: endothelial, or blood vessel-forming, cells in culture; chicken embryos as animal models; and saliva samples obtained from healthy donors. Using these three models, histatin-1 and saliva were found to increase blood vessel formation. Researchers are now taking the next step in this line of study by using these molecules to generate materials and implants to aid in wound healing.

Twitter is finally bringing its Night Mode feature to its desktop website. The social networking company is reportedly in the process of testing out a darker UI for its website — a feature that it first introduced on its mobile app. According to 9To5Google , Twitter’s Night Mode for its desktop website will not at all change the way the site works. Just like what this feature does to the Twitter app, the timeline on the desktop website will switch to a much darker shade, making it easy for the user’s eyes to view content while enjoying a late-night tweeting spree. When Night Mode is switched on, all white UI elements on the screen will be transformed to dark gray. Other colors are also changed to fit the darker mood of the website. In effect, the entire website becomes easy on the eyes. At present, Twitter is only enabling this feature to a select few. To check if you have access to Night Mode, you should click on your profile photo and then select the Night Mode tab ...

The Aerosol Challenge, a 2014 game, involved teenagers spraying themselves with deodorant at a distance of just a few inches from their skin, to see who could endure the pain the longest. It left some children with horrific burns. In the Pass-out Challenge , young adults would choke themselves to the point of passing out in an attempt to reach an euphoric high—recording it all to post on social media. The Fire Challenge saw people spraying themselves with flammable liquid and then setting it aflame, all for an online laugh. Neknominate had them drinking increasingly potent combinations of alcohol—this too led to some deaths. The Blue Whale game, the latest, sets tasks over a 50-day period, the last of which is jumping off a high-rise. During Roman times, gladiatorial shows were a show of strength and violence. The Middle Ages turned execution into spectacle. Now, it’s online games like Blue Whale , says Shubha Madhusudhan, clinical psychologist, Fortis Hospital, Be...

RCom(Reliance Communications) has announced a Rs 299 rental plan to take on Jio. The news was given on Twitter by the company. The tweet does not reveal much about the plan except that it would offer unlimited texts, unlimited calls and unlimited data. This is what it reads," Reliance Mobile introduces the lowest rates ever! Starting at Rs. 299 monthly rental." The move aims to take a direct shot at Jio that has spurred a tariff war by launching cheap data and free calls in the telecom market. There is also a link to buy the plan. India Today Tech tried to purchase the plan by entering a Reliance number but it failed. Instead a message was flashed reading this," The amount entered is not eligible for this offer. Please dial *129# to check the valid amount for your Reliance Mobile Number." This means that there are chances that this plan is valid only for postpaid users as the number fed by us was a prepaid number. Reliance Communications is run ...

Even robots exploring other planets need to take some time to unwind and just watch the clouds for a while. The Curiosity rover, which just last week celebrated its fifth anniversary on the Red Planet, has now sent back some of the clearest photos yet taken of extraterrestrial clouds. The slideshows are made up of two sets of eight images, taken early in the morning of July 17. For the first set, the camera was pointed directly above the rover, while the second set of snaps captured the sky above the southern horizon. To get the resulting level of clarity in the movement of the clouds, the images were enhanced by Curiosity's science team at York University. By genera...

Experts say drug, called HXR9, prevents cancer cells from sidestepping apoptosis, the process that causes unhealthy, damaged cells to die. Scientists have developed a new drug that strips cancer cells of their "immortality", and may treat patients suffering from one of the most aggressive forms of leukemia. The drug, called HXR9, prevents cancer cells from sidestepping apoptosis - the process that causes unhealthy and damaged cells to die. Researchers from University of Bradford in the UK found that it could be used to treat acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). The drug targets a particular family of genes, called HOX genes, which are involved in controlling the rapid growth of cells. In adults these are switched off but in cancer cells they can be turned back on. This helps to give the cancer cells the ability to continuously grow and divide by circumventing the normal mechanisms that trigger apoptosis - effectively making them immortal, researchers said. "...

If it wasn't already clear, Amazon has big ambitions for its payments service, Amazon Pay. The company has added the ability to make mobile recharges, one of the most common use cases of any mobile wallet app, to its payments service in India. At present in beta stage, users can now recharge their phone numbers using Amazon Pay, which also serves as a wallet service (also known as 'bucket'). Available on the Web as well as through Amazon India's app, Amazon Pay lets people store money in the service and also supports all the plastic cards and net banking option for payments. For now, it doesn't support mobile recharges for phone numbers on Airtel network, the website says. The interest of Amazon in the payment space comes at a time when several major local players have been cashing in on the government's demonetization move. Amid demonetization, Paytm and MobiKwik , two large mobile wallet apps, reported skyrocketing growth in volume of trans...

You thought drinking after a hard day at work helped you relax? Think again. If a new study is to be believed, drinking just one glass of beer or wine a day could give you skin cancer. According to the team lead by dermatologist Dr Eunyoung Cho of Brown University, any type of alcoholic beverage raises the likelihood of developing two forms of cancer. Every daily 10 gram shot increased participant’s risk of one type of skin cancer by 11 percent while the other was increased by seven percent. The researchers claim that the chemicals released when alcohol is broken down by the boy are to be blamed.
